Chapter 354 - 111: Foreigner (Part 3)
"However..."
"This Thunder Element Stone is different."
She glanced at Fang Zheng and said:
"Someone left a message inside this Thunder Element Stone, which was deciphered by the joint efforts of several experts in the pavilion."
"It’s an address!"
"An address," Fang Zheng spoke:
"Did you go?"
"Of course we went." Chen Jiuniang shrugged:
"Not only did we go, but we also gained a lot. Of course, we encountered some troubles along the way, but those are insignificant."
"The Elemental Thunder Skill Young Master Fang practiced was obtained from there, and we also found a token and another address, indicating the location of the complete Elemental Thunder Skill inheritance."
"Unfortunately!"
"This time we returned without success."
"Hmm..."
She pursed her lips and said:
"We didn’t come back empty-handed entirely, at least we learned how to access the Land of Inheritance and who left the inheritance."
"Who?" Fang Zheng asked.
"A legendary figure from hundreds of years ago, Master Jiuyuan, originally from the Li Family and inducted into the Encounter Immortal Sect." Chen Jiuniang introduced:
"The Li Family was one of the Eight Great Families of the Wei Dynasty. Although it has declined now, it was once at the height of its power, and the Encounter Immortal Sect was a core branch of the Celestial Master Dao."
"Master Jiuyuan was not only a Magical Sage but also a Martial Arts Grandmaster, a legendary figure who excelled in the Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts."
Fang Zheng squinted his eyes.
Master!
Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Not to mention achieving both paths, even achieving one is something he hasn’t seen; he only heard of their greatness from others.
It’s said that Masters and Martial Grandmasters have the ability to soar through the sky and dodge into the ground.
In ancient times...
They could be called Immortals!
In fact,
The few renowned overseas Rogue Immortals today refer to such Masters.
If it really is Master Jiuyuan, even if the Elemental Thunder Skill isn’t acquired, other inheritances from him would also be extraordinary.
"The Encounter Immortal Sect is so named because its methods of inheritance are often related to Feng Shui, Divination, and the Path of Divination," Chen Jiuniang said:
"Such as Plum Blossom Divination, Purple Star Divination, Six Trigrams, they are all related to the Encounter Immortal Sect."
"However, such inheritances require extremely high talent in cultivators. Without the right qualifications, one could study for a lifetime and gain little."
"If one is extraordinarily gifted, they might become a true master at a young age!"
Uh...
Fang Zheng’s expression stiffened slightly.
He never considered himself to have any special talent in certain areas, especially in the paths of Divination and Feng Shui, which he has no interest in.
Better to continue cultivating the Elemental Thunder Skill...
"Young Master Fang."
Chen Jiuniang continued:
"Master Jiuyuan was proficient in divination, and his greatest hobby was traveling and exploring ancient relics. The Elemental Thunder Skill was obtained from some relics by him."
"Furthermore..."
"He also obtained half a scroll of Shenxiao Thunder Skill!"
"Shenxiao Thunder Skill?" Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow:
"So, the reward Miss Chen promised me is all at the Land of Inheritance, and you don’t have it on you, so I have to get it myself?"
"What a clever trick to reap without sowing!"
"This..." Chen Jiuniang looked embarrassed:
"I do have a skill named Five Thunders Hand, which aligns with the Elemental Thunder Skill."
Five Thunders Hand?
I acquired it long ago!
You were reluctant to give it back then, and now I’m no longer interested.
"Forget it."
Fang Zheng shook his head speechlessly:
"How do we get to the Land of Inheritance?"
"The token is the key," Chen Jiuniang said:
"To open the Land of Inheritance, you must cultivate the Elemental Thunder Skill to the Realm of the Three Thunders, but the method of cultivation has long been lost."
"Since there’s been no progress for years, the token has gradually collected dust and is no longer valued. Just take it; I know the address."
"Please wait, Young Master Fang, I’ll go retrieve it."
Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow.
By this time, the four of them had entered the city, hiding in an inconspicuous alley. Truth be told, Fang Zheng was not entirely comfortable letting the other party leave.
"Young Master."
Xiang Xiu appropriately spoke up:
"Perhaps I should follow, in case there’s an ambush, it would be good to have support."
Simultaneously, he turned and said:
"Miss Chen, wouldn’t you agree?"
"Ha..." Chen Jiuniang gently shook her head:
"Alright then!"
"Let’s do that," Fang Zheng nodded:
"Be quick about it."
Xiang Xiu always kept a low profile, but his skills were undeniable; he could hold his own against a True Disciple from the Joyful Union Sect, exchanging blows equally.
He was also a seasoned hand in the Jianghu.
Chen Jiuniang was currently injured and could not exert even half of her strength. If she had any ill intentions and attempted something, she might not be Xiang Xiu’s match.
Fortunately,
No complications arose.
Before long,
The two returned with the token.
"Let’s go!"
Fang Zheng stood up:
"To the Land of Inheritance."
"Going now?" Chen Jiuniang glanced at herself and Uncle Zheng, both injured:
"Not gonna rest a few days?"
"It’s urgent." Fang Zheng’s expression was cold:
"Better to act quickly to avoid complications."
You are injured, we are not. It’s better to go now.
......
The four disguised and left the city.
Currently, infighting within the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is fierce, but fortunately, the city appears calm on the surface, and the soldiers guarding the city gate do not scrutinize closely.
Nothing amiss was detected either.
Xiang Xiu drove swiftly, while inside the carriage, Chen Jiuniang sat with legs crossed in the corner, silently regulating her breath, and Uncle Zheng watched Fang Zheng with a cautious gaze.
Time passed.
The day turned to night.
"Whoa..."
Xiang Xiu waved the reins:
"Young Master, ahead is the Sword Casting Manor."
"In the back mountain," Chen Jiuniang opened her slightly weary eyes. The bumpy ride made it difficult to focus on her breathing.
The back mountain.
Fang Zheng leapt from a high point, gazing at the vine-covered mountain in front of him:
"Is this the place?"
"Yes." Chen Jiuniang followed closely behind, landing:
"It’s just behind here."
Fang Zheng stepped forward, his long sleeves lightly waving, and the Powerful Qi transformed into a breeze brushing over the vines, causing them to fall to the ground one after another.
Revealing the rough stone wall behind it.
Such effortless manipulation of True Qi also showed his increasingly impressive mastery of the Elemental Thunder Skill.
