Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven – Everyone Is Troubled
Wu Kong Hall.
“What do all of you think?” Pei Yuan Ranasked the other people.
Shi Feng Rong was the first to speak, “Other than Second Shixiong, no one else knows [Ice Dragon Sword Scripture]. The jade scroll had not been released before. With Zuo Mo’s cultivation, even if he got it, he could not have read it,” She said. She was the first person to speak up for Zuo Mo, her protective intentions were evident.
Pei Yuan Ran smiled and said, “Shimei, don’t be nervous. You can’t just steal and learn [Ice Dragon Sword Scripture] even if you wanted to. I just saw that the boy was not obedient and wanted to scare him.”
Xin Yan suddenly said, “It’s a pity.”
Yan Le hurriedly asked, “What’s a pity?” The other two elders also looked at Xin Yan.
“He must have comprehended the sword essence on his own. It has the beginnings of the tide. If he had kept going like that, it would not be hard to reach the creation of the dragon. It is a pity that he merged the Li Water sword essence with it. It looks like there is more transformations, but in reality, it has caused the sword essence to become impure,” It was rare that Xin Yan spoke so much.
The expressions of the three people changed dramatically.
“Shidi means that Zuo Mo has ruined it?” Pei Yuan Ran, who never showed his emotions, had a terrible expression had the moment. In reality, he knew that he didn’t need to ask that question. They were all sword xiu and understood the result of an impure sword essence.
Xin Yan didn’t speak, but the three people that were familiar with him understood. The three of them became silent.
All four of them were in a terrible mood. It would have been alright if they didn’t know Zuo Mo’s potential, but Zuo Mo’s talent was so amazing, yet he would not be able to progress further on the Ice Dragon Sword Scripture. For the four people who placed heavy importance on the legacy of the sect, it was a heavy blow.
Pei Yuan Ran said dejectedly, “This is my fault. I was remiss in paying attention to him.”
The hearts of the other three were also unwell. Of the four, Shi Feng Rong felt the worst. She had just been happy about Zuo Mo’s talent, but in the turn of an eye, she was informed that Zuo Mo would not progress further on the [Ice Dragon Sword Scripture].
“Shixiong, is there really no way?” She bit her lips and looked at Xin Yan.
“Unless he could remake his sword essence to purify it. However, what he would receive would be a new sword essence, not Li Water sword essence, nor Ice Dragon. How to progress that, we cannot teach him,” Xin Yan said heavily.
Wu Kong Hall descended into silence.
Just as everyone was blaming themselves, Xin Yan suddenly opened, “Since he could comprehend Ice Dragon sword essence on his own, he is very talented. It is not out of the question that he could remake his sword essence.”
Shi Feng Rong suddenly lifted her head, eyes lighting up as the disappointment left her face, “Does Shixiong have a way?”
Pei Yuan Ran and Yan Le were also uplifted. They all knew that Xin Yan was not talkative usually, but if he spoke of his own initiative, he would definitely have a way. Their eyes looked towards Xin Yan, waiting for him to continue.
“If he could understand more sword scriptures, with his talent, it should not be difficult for him to remake his sword essence. He just needs to be taught more sword scriptures,” Xin Yan said solemnly, “However… …”
“What is it?” Yan Le couldn’t stop himself from asking.
“He doesn’t seem to be interested in cultivating the sword,” Xin Yan said.
The three people stared at each other. They had been concerned about the problem of Zuo Mo’s talent and had missed the most important question. Zuo Mo was exceptionally talented, but he was the epitome of the frivolous disciple. His only habit was making jingshi. As to cultivating the sword… …
When had he ever taken the sword seriously?
But this person with no ambitions about the sword had a talent others would admire!
Xin Yan’s words struck the other three elders dumb. If Zuo Mo didn’t want to practice the sword, they were concerned for no reason. The four of them were all sword xiu and knew very well how hard it was to cultivate the sword. At higher levels, other than difficulty, there was also danger. If the person’s own resolve was not strong enough, they basically could not achieve anything. In other words, unless Zuo Mo wanted to learn the sword himself, they could not force him to.
The three couldn’t help but thinking how Zuo Mo saying he wanted to be smashed to death by jingshi.
Pei Yuan Ran suddenly felt a headache come up.
What a troublesome youth… …
———
Of course, Zuo Mo didn’t know that the sect leader was having a headache over him. He was soaking in the medicinal tub, celebrating for having overcome a calamity. The mo matrix on his body had not attracted the attention of the elders. He felt surprised and extremelylucky. When he inspected the mo matrix on his body, he was shocked to find that, at some unknown time, the mo matrix had hidden away under his skin.
It was alright, alright… …
The mo matrix hidden underneath his skin greedily absorbed the medicinal power, quickly fixing Zuo Mo’s body. He found that a benefit of the mo matrix was that it could quickly absorb ling power and medicinal power, and continuously strengthen his body. The fact that his [Vajra Profound Sutra] progressed so quickly was directly connected to his mo matrix.
After soaking for a few days in the medicine, Zuo Mo found that his benefits in the sect had risen greatly. He was familiar with dan-making now and could recognize the general components of the medicinal fluid. He found the medicinal liquid he was soaked in contained many precious ling medicines.
Zuo Mo’s mind automatically converted it to jingshi and jumped in fright. Each basin was really expensive!
This didn’t seem like the style of the sect!
Zuo Mo muttered inside but he quickly threw the question to the back of his mind because he thought about jingshi. This time, he had earned a lot. For him, three hundred pieces of third-grade jingshi was not a small sum. He had dared to put down so much, not because he had enough confidence, but because he had decided to spend all the jingshi before Pu Yao woke up.
If Pu Yao woke up, he wouldn’t get one piece of jingshi no matter how much he had.
