Chapter 163: Foundational Cultivator
As such, Little Fatty unknowingly became famous. But, his fame was a little too big, and definitely a little too dangerous!
Now there were plenty of cultivators who surrounded the boundaries of the Mystical Sky Yard waiting to take care of him. Amongst those with bounties, it’s either they had a strong backing or spiritual artifacts and were difficult to deal with. Only Little Fatty was an exception, the only thing he had was his divine lightning which could be considered to be of some threat. But in the Jade Green Screen, he had already his reserves of divine lightning. Without the divine lightning to rely on, he naturally became the target of everyone.
Without a doubt, the moment Little Fatty dared to step foot outside of the Mystical Sky Yard, he would most likely be surrounded by tens of cultivators, which may even include JinDan cultivators. This was actually natural, not only was a good magical artifact expensive, the key was that it was difficult to refine and thus rare. Obviously, many weaker JinDan cultivators set their sights on Little Fatty after hearing of the bounty.
It was a pity Little Fatty was a lot more crafty that they had expected. He already expected that to happen, thus he simply decided to just delve into bitter closed-door cultivation. He was preparing to attempt breaking into the foundational stage, and naturally, would not be bothered come out. He would just let those people wait for him slowly since they were not able to come in anyway!
As compared to the storm outside, the Mystical Sky Yard seemed to be exceptionally peaceful. But in reality, the undercurrents within the Mystical Sky Yard was even greater.
The reason for that was mainly because the juniors of Daoist HuoLong’s camp were all eliminated. Originally, the sect master and his wife had an upper hand with regards to the stronger disciples, but their younger disciples were not as talented. As such, in the 4 elites of the Mystical Sky Yard, 3 of them came from Daoist HuoLong’s camp and one from Celestial MeiHua. There were no representatives from the sect master’s camp.
If things were to continue developing as such, then the strength of Daoist HuoLong’s camp would definitely increase greatly after hundred years later, which would be sufficient to suppress the sect master and his wife.
However, this original perfect scenario was completely reversed after the Mystical Spiritual Fruit hunt. Of the 3 elites under Daoist HuoLong, Mu ZiRong was injured by Little Fatty and needed to recuperate for 10 years. Because of this, she was demoted from a 1st cla.s.s to 2nd cla.s.s talent. Following which, was Little White Dragon, who died in the Jade Green Screen. Finally, despite Peerless Sword Deity coming out, he had the revenge curse on him. Every day, he could only lay in bed crying out in pain and agony. But the worst thing was the fact that he could not die. It was obvious that the sect master of the Thousands Desire Sect had no intentions of letting him go so easily. Without torturing him for a few decades, he would definitely not allow Peerless Sword Deity to take the easy way out.
As such, the 3 elites under Daoist HuoLong was finished. On the contrary, the sect master now had 2 talented disciples. There was naturally nothing to talk about HongYing, not only did her talent far surpa.s.s her peers, she even obtained the Phoenix Crying Blade. With just her alone, she would be enough to compete with the 3 elites under Daoist HuoLong.
Plus, there was another darn fatty who could use divine lightning at the XianTian stage. Thinking about how he was scammed of his Five Element Essence Sword with a broken bell, Daoist HuoLong could only feel his heart bleeding!
Being a cultivator, the second most important thing would be their own lineage. But, the originally leading Daoist HuoLong had suddenly lost the edge. Theoretically, he could still find more geniuses to cultivate. But in reality, this road was extremely difficult.
The reason why a genius was called as such was because they were favoured by the heavens and were extremely rare. Every year, the Mystical Sky Yard would send out a lot of disciples to search in the secular realm for geniuses. After searching through many countries and for many years, they were only able to find two people who could barely be called geniuses, which were Peerless Sword Deity and Little White Dragon.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, these two disciples should have been given to the sect master and his wife. After all, among the bloodlines of Daoist HuoLong, there was already a Mu ZiRong. But, Daoist HuoLong made used of the fact that the sect master and his wife were in close door cultivation to usurp power and made those two disciples his. Only with these despicable actions did he barely manage to have 3 elites.
But now, all of his hard work had completely been ruined. How was he able to accept this matter? But, apart from Mu ZiRong who he could pin the blame on Little Fatty, the other 2 disciples were just suffering from their own doings. Besides, he did not know that Little White Dragon actually died in Little Fatty’s hands, thus unable to even pin his death as an excuse against Little Fatty himself.
Helplessly, Daoist HuoLong could only drink his sorrows away. His temper also became extremely short and became displeased with every disciple of his. The moment he did that, everyone under him also understood his intentions and drew a clear line with those from the sect master’s camp in order to protect themselves. As such, despite the fact that they did not fight, the atmosphere also turned extremely tense.
The sect master and his wife could also naturally detect the strange occurrences. However, despite the fact that they felt Daoist HuoLong was trying to make a demonstration of might to them discreetly, they also had their hands tied. At this moment, they would definitely not show their weakness and could only make preparations as precautions.
This resulted in the atmosphere between the two camps becoming extremely strained. Ever since they returned from the Jade Green Screen, the rewards for Little Fatty and the rest were also delayed. At least, HongYing, Little Fatty, and ShuiJing were all in closed door cultivation and could not be bothered with this matter temporarily, thus delaying the matter until they came out from cultivation.
Just when there was a large storm brewing on the outside, Little Fatty just timidly hid in cultivation. In his Natal Artifact, with saturated spiritual Qi and treasures, became a haven for cultivation.
At this moment, Little Fatty’s cultivation just entered the 13th XianTian stage. Despite the fact that he could not be compared to the brilliance of Han Bing’er, HongYing and ShuiJing, it was still considered extremely stunning. Especially if one took into account the speed of his progression these few months, it could be described as a triple jump.
Just a mere two months ago, he was just a 10th XianTian cultivator that barely made the cut for the sect compet.i.tion. At that moment, no one would expect anything from this fat looking person. However, Little Fatty made his fame through a series of events and his stunning performance. First, his battle with ShuiJing that ended up in dual cultivation; not only did the both of them advance a level, they even helped the hundreds of people there receive a breakthrough in their understanding of the heavenly laws.
Then, Little Fatty killed Tu QianCheng. Although he suffered heavy injuries, he completely recovered with a Mystical Sky Pill from HongYing. This elixir which was meant for a YuanYing cultivator had an extremely strong medicinal effect and had an abundance of spiritual Qi within it. Not only did it treat Little Fatty’s injuries, it even helped him to advance into the 13th XianTian stage from the 11th XianTian stage!
In actual fact, it was not rare for people to improve their cultivation with the use of elixirs in the cultivation. But, such a method was not widely proliferated. Firstly, elixirs which could directly increase one’s spiritual Qi were just too rare and expensive. Like the Mystical Sky Pill which Little Fatty used was meant for YuanYing cultivators to treat their injuries. In a hundred years, only a few of them could be made; even YuanYing cultivators would treat them as a treasure and would naturally not give it to their juniors for cultivation.
