Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The saint spells on the walls could make martial artists fight to the death for them. The pill recipes on the walls could make pill alchemists go crazy. The rune scroll creation techniques could make rune masters stay up day and night…
Zhang Ruochen wasn’t very interested. Looking away, he said, “Where are the saint fruit and medicine that I want?”
“Come with me.”
The Thousand Star Maiden walked forward. A mesmerizing fragrance came from her purple dress. Smelling it gave one a gentle and beautiful feeling.
Following her, they went to an extremely cold hidden room. It had many different jade boxes, wooden caskets, and porcelain bottles. Zhang Ruochen didn’t enter the room, because he discovered that there were hidden techniques. Formation runes covered it densely.
If he broke into it, he’d definitely get attacked by the formation.
Zhang Ruochen had seen Formation Saint Masters before. The runes drawn here were comparable to Formation Saint Masters in both complexity and connectivity.
With his current cultivation, he might not be able to retreat safely if he entered.
Seeing him stop, the Thousand Star Maiden’s red lips curved up. “Are my formation runes enough for you?”
“You’re already a Formation Saint Master?”
The Thousand Star Maiden took specific steps and walked to a stone wall. She took out many jade and wooden boxes, saying proudly, “My goal is to become a G.o.d. A mere Formation Saint Master isn’t some impressive accomplishment. Zhang Ruochen, as a manipulator of an ancient way, we should have a bigger vision.”
Formation Saint Masters were even rarer than Supreme Saints. They had extremely high statuses in any world.
Every sect, clan, or city needed a formation’s defense. Formation Saint Masters were also required.
A Formation Saint Master was on the same level as Supreme Saints.
However, the Thousand Star Maiden said that it wasn’t an impressive accomplishment. Zhang Ruochen felt that there was a certain proud and bragging undertone.
The Thousand Star Maiden carried a tall pile of jade and wooden boxes over. She handed it to Zhang Ruochen without the high and mighty aura of a G.o.ddess. Instead, she seemed like a gentle girl. “You already have 2,100 rules inside of you. Your Spiritual Power is also in the middle of level 56. This saint medicine and fruit can help you reach the third step Saint King Realm and level 57 of Spiritual Power.”
The Thousand Star Maiden’s Origin Divine Eyes gave Zhang Ruochen a headache. He couldn’t keep any secrets before her eyes.
Sometimes, he wondered if he was naked when standing before her.
He accepted the jade boxes and wooden caskets and began checking them.
He had to admit that the Thousand Star Maiden was very generous. She gave even more saintly fruit and medicine than Zhang Ruochen had imagined. If he didn’t run into a bottleneck, then he would definitely have a breakthrough.
Suddenly, the Thousand Star Maiden asked, “Zhang Ruochen, do you drink?”
Zhang Ruochen was surprised and quickly shook his head. “Not often.”
“How about you drink a bit with me?”
She walked to another hidden room that actually had all sorts of wine and brews. They’d been collected from all over the world. Each one was more than 100 years old and it was difficult to measure their value in saint stones.
Who would’ve known that the gentle and mysterious Thousand Star Maiden was an alcoholic? “This is Non-Precept Breaking. It was brewed by a Bodhisattva from the Western Buddhist Field. I put in a lot of effort to buy a bottle. All this time, I couldn’t find a friend who was qualified to drink this. But as the controller of time and s.p.a.ce, you are qualified to taste it.”
The Thousand Star Maiden’s slender hands opened the wine bottle’s seal and a clean fragrance instantly filled the entire s.p.a.ce.
Even Zhang Ruochen who cautioned himself against drinking was mesmerized by the fragrance. He couldn’t help but sniff. When he reopened his eyes, the Thousand Star Maiden had already filled his cup with wine.
She used her practically perfect jade-like hands to lift her cup and sipped it with her red lips. “Not bad. As expected of Non-Precept Breaking. It didn’t disappoint me.”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t lift his cup. He felt that the atmosphere was very strange and unbelievable.
“Are we friends or enemies?” he asked.
“Friends, of course. Otherwise, why would I invite you onto my carriage and take out Non-Precept Breaking for you to taste?” The Thousand Star Maiden sat primly across from him. Her dress pooled on the ground like a purple flower and her starry eyes were asphyxiatingly beautiful.
“Then, would you kill your own friends? And steal their Mysteries of Truth?”
“There are many different types of friends. Us two are just wine friends.” The Thousand Star Maiden lifted her cup and made an elegant move while smiling brightly. “Of course, you’re one of the very few men who don’t annoy me. If you treasure this friends.h.i.+p, you can give me the Mysteries of Truth voluntarily. We might even become better friends after that. Drink! Are you afraid that I poisoned it?”
The fragrance of Non-Precept Breaking was like Qing Mo’s food. No being could resist its temptation.
Zhang Ruochen raised his cup and took a sip. Then he drank it all. “Great wine. I know an old guy who loves wine like its his life and is a master at making wine. This Non-Precept Breaking is already comparable with his.”
