I Turn Out to Be a Grand Master - Chapter 129
Chapter 129: The Miserable Liu Changgong!
Liu Changgong picked up a ‘middle-grade spirit stone’.
He turned the spirit stone while looking at it carefully. Then, he held the spirit stone in his hand and closed his eyes to feel the spiritual energy in the spirit stone.
Not long after, the ‘spirit stone’ in his hand turned into grayish-white powder.
A breeze blew past, and it dispersed with the wind.
Su Yue, who had witnessed this scene with her own eyes, had many complicated thoughts.
If she was not mistaken, the thing in Liu Changgong’s hand must be an ancient Immortal Jade.
To be able to absorb the immortal spirit energy in the ancient Immortal Jade, one must have at least reached the level of an Immortal to be able to absorb the Immortal Qi casually.
Liu Changgong did not even mobilize his spiritual energy and was able to completely absorb the Immortal Jade.
Then, how powerful must his strength be!
Su Yue once heard a secret from her father, Bai Ze.
Human cultivators at the Tribulation Transcension stage would use the ancient Immortal Jade when they cultivated.
Red Dust Immortals absorbed the Immortal Q in the ancient Immortal Jade to transform their bodies and adapt to the immortal cultivation method in advance.
As for cultivators with low cultivation, even if they were given a mountain-sized Immortal Jade, they could only stare blankly.
It was completely useless. It was a very precious but useless thing.
Moreover, even at the Tribulation Transcension stage, the speed of absorbing the Immortal Qi in the Immortal Jade was extremely slow. This was a process where water could pierce through stone.
However, Liu Changgong, who was in front of Su Yue, absorbed the Immortal Jade as if he was breathing.
In the blink of an eye, an ancient Immortal Jade was absorbed by him.
That’s sick.
If the cultivators in the Tribulation Transcension stage absorbed the jade at this speed, they would explode and die.
Look at his light-hearted eyes, and the end of a sigh.
Su Yue was even more shocked.
Could it be that Senior Liu is reminiscing about the long years in the Immortal World when he could practice with a lot of Immortal Jade?
Su Yue trembled, turned her body, don’t dare to see again.
If she looked again, she was afraid that her Dao heart would be unstable.
The gap between her cultivation and realm was too big compared to Senior Liu.
Many of the other party’s unintentional actions and actions could make her imagination run wild and shock the heavens.
Perhaps, this was the life of a big shot in the Immortal World.
A stroke of the brush could shake the wind and rain, and a poem could make a ghost cry.
Although Su Yue was almost numbed by Liu Changgong’s series of shocking actions.
However, she was afraid that one day she would suddenly be unable to bear it and her Dao heart would completely collapse.
She still had to obediently prepare to condense the demon core before making any plans.
It was too difficult for her.
‘As expected, it still won’t work. How can I absorb spirit stones without spirit roots? I’m still wishful thinking.’
Although he already knew that he didn’t have spirit roots, he had never seen a ‘middle-grade spirit stone’ placed in front of him like a bikini beauty standing in front of him.
Liu Changgong couldn’t help but take a piece and try to see if he could absorb the spiritual energy inside.
If he couldn’t absorb a low-grade spiritual stone, he could at least absorb a middle-grade spiritual stone.
Liu Changgong wasn’t a person who gave up easily in his previous life.
It was the same in the world of cultivators today.
However, reality had indeed given him a severe blow.
Just as the cultivator who tested his spiritual root said… Without a spirit root, it meant that he could not cultivate.
If the human body was viewed as a bamboo basket, the spirit root would be equivalent to the side basket of the bamboo basket.
The more outstanding the spirit root was, the smaller the holes on the bamboo basket would be. Thus, the less Spirit Qi would leak out when absorbing the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth, and naturally, the more Spirit Qi would remain in the body.
On the contrary, the lower the spirit root was, the bigger the holes on the bamboo basket would be. Thus, the more Spirit Qi would leak out when absorbing the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth, and naturally, the less Spirit Qi would remain in the body.
As for mortals like him who didn’t have spiritual roots, they were like a bamboo basket without a bottom. It was impossible for them to leave any spiritual energy behind.
It was said that the world of cultivators had the best unsullied spiritual roots. There were almost no holes left in the bamboo basket, and it was a perfect fit.
As much spiritual energy was absorbed, as much spiritual energy could be stored.
It was like a bucket. Unless one wasted spiritual energy recklessly and poured it out, it would be an excellent place to store spiritual energy.
Liu Changgong’s bamboo basket was the most pitiful kind of bottomless bamboo basket.
The spirit energy that he absorbed into his body would all leak out and disappear without a trace, sinking into the sea.
Liu Changgong believed that the spirit energy that he absorbed had all dispersed through the pores in his body.
It returned to the world.
There weren’t any traces left behind.
Thus…
Liu Changgong naturally couldn’t use the shortcut of absorbing spirit stones to promote himself.
“Sigh. Forget it. Wasting a middle-grade spirit stone for nothing, what a sin. It seems that fighting and killing are not suitable for me. Poetry and painting are more suitable for me.”
Li Xiuyuan’s heart ached, and he quickly put away the remaining ‘middle-grade spirit stones’.
He didn’t want to waste them all before he gave them to Qi’er and Xia’er.
These spirit stones were exchanged for his painstaking painting. They were all the cultivation capital for Qi’er and Xia’er.
In the future, when Qi’er and Xia’er were successful in their cultivation, he would also benefit from them.
When that time came, he might be able to live a few hundred more years by eating the ‘longevity pill’.
“It’s time to eat.”
Liu Changgong was so hungry that his stomach was growling.
“I’ve earned so many spirit stones today. I should celebrate it properly. Let’s go buy some meat dishes to taste.”
When Liu Changgong thought of this, he called the little fox out.
He rarely brought the little fox out.
The main reason was that he was afraid that the image of Qi’er would scare the villagers, and he was also afraid that the villagers would treat Qi’er as a deviant and hurt the young soul of Qi’er.
“You little fox, you’re getting lazier and lazier.”
Liu Changgong probed the little fox and found that it was still sleepy. He shouted angrily, “If you continue like this, you’ll turn into a pig! If you get up again, you won’t be allowed to eat roast chicken in the future.”
After saying that, Liu Changgong waved his hand and walked out of the small courtyard.
…
Darkness descended.
The bright moon in the sky enveloped the earth in a layer of silver light.
Su Yue opened her eyes. Her extremely dark red eyes flashed with a demonic light in the night.
She tiptoed out of the small courtyard.
She raised her head to look at the sky and was secretly delighted.
“Tonight, the moon is not bad.”
Today was the best time for her to condense a demon core and advance to a great demon.
Under the moonlight, a little red bird on the old peach tree raised its head and looked at the moon. When it heard Su Yue’s voice, it turned its proud head.
Su Yue shuddered and immediately fell to the ground, not daring to continue moving.
Only when the cold gaze on her body disappeared did Su Yue secretly get up. Then, she kicked her legs and flipped out of the small courtyard, blending into the vast night.
