Chapter 280: Mysterious Prohibition
The next morning, as the sky began to brighten, Qin Jun and others set out on their journey, leaving Guarding Slaughter City under the management of You Fenghuang and the cultivators from the Netherworld Holy Sect. If they encountered any problems, they would naturally seek help from the stronger members of the sect. Qin Jun was not worried that the Holy Sect would seize control of the city in their absence; if that happened, they would just take it back.
After all, they had not invested much effort, and they would just collect spirit stones on a monthly basis in the future.
Sitting atop Lei Zhenzi’s clouds, Qin Jun fiddled with a small white jade bottle that contained three Dayan Pills, each capable of increasing his cultivation by a hundred years. He had originally wanted to use them, but had been holding back. A boost of three hundred years in cultivation might bring him to the peak of the Transforming Void Realm but would not be enough to break through. According to the system, this was because his innate talent was only average.
Indeed, his former self was notoriously useless—a state which was largely due to laziness in his studies, but his basic physical endowments were also to blame. He possessed the most common type of Five Elements Spirit Root.
"Ah, I’m really envious of that kid, Yan San, with his single Spirit Root talent—and a rare Wind Spirit Root at that. His cultivation progress is incredibly fast," Qin Jun remarked with a sigh.
Now Yan San had taken Guan Yu as his master. Qin Jun had originally intended to send him to one of the three major sects in the Great Qin Kingdom, but Guan Yu was reluctant, claiming that the three major sects weren’t as good as him.
As for Qin Jun’s God and Demon subordinates, they had no interest in taking disciples, not even wind Spirit Root prodigies.
Because compared to Qin Jun, any single Spirit Root talent was insignificant.
"Why would Your Majesty be envious? Although Your Majesty has a Five Elements Spirit Root, your talent is a once-in-a-millennium occurrence," said Liu Bowen with a smile. To this, Qin Jun could only force a grin.
He knew his own struggles; he wasn’t especially talented, he was just a cheater with an advantage.
"Never mind, I’ll save them. They’ll come in handy for my next cultivation of the Undying Holy Body," Qin Jun said with a shake of his head and a smile, then placed the small white bottle into his mythology space.
