Chapter 838: Swap (1/2)
With wide eyes, Nie Tian looked at his Fortune Well, but said with a frustrated sigh, “Talk about bad luck.”
Unlike most cultivators, he practiced not only spiritual power, but also flame power, wood power and star power.
However, his Fortune Well happened to spew none of the three, but water power instead.
According to Chai Longge, the Fortune Wells spewed all kinds of power, even including pure flesh power.
Even if his Fortune Well had spewed pure flesh power, he would be able to channel it with his special bloodline talent to refine his body.
However, water power was of absolutely no use to him.
He shifted his gaze from his Fortune Well to Yin Yanan’s and the others’, and discovered that none of their Fortune Wells had worked their wonders yet.
He understood that the Fortune Wells didn’t necessarily work wonders at the same time. Some took longer, while others took shorter.
Not to mention that some might even stay dormant till the entire season was over.
“Hey, little brother!” A distant, overjoyed voice caught Nie Tian’s ears.
He looked over, and it turned out to be a good-looking man in purple garments, who was at the middle Profound realm and wreathed in an aura that was as smooth as water.
With a warm smile, he said, “My name is Xie Yunhai. Your Fortune Well agrees with my cultivation attribute perfectly. And my Fortune Well is spewing wood power. How about we swap?”
Nie Tian looked over with rapt attention, and discovered that the Fortune Well he was standing by was indeed spewing wisps of green aura, which seemed to contain pure wood power.
As soon as he uttered these words, a disappointed look rapidly spread out across Chai Fengwu’s face, even though Nie Tian hadn’t given a reply yet.
She sighed inwardly while shaking her head, knowing that she probably wouldn’t be able to get that Fortune Well from Nie Tian.
After all, Xie Yunhai’s well happened to be the kind Nie Tian needed. A swap would benefit them both.
With an unrestrained smile, Nie Tian nodded. “Okay, why not?”
He then blurred into action. In the next moment, he landed on the Bone Blood Demon’s shoulder and commanded it to fly towards Xie Yunhai.
Watching the enormous Bone Blood Demon coming towards him, Xie Yunhai had great apprehension in his eyes. Before it came close, he left his Fortune Well to make room for it to land.
As a Profound realm cultivator, he already possessed the ability to fly without external help. Therefore, without summoning an air-transportation spiritual tool, he made a brief detour in the air to avoid the Bone Blood Demon, and then landed by Nie Tian’s Fortune Well.
After assuming a firm foothold, he clasped his hands towards Nie Tian and said, “Many thanks!”
Nie Tian nodded back at him.
After turning his eyes from Nie Tian, Xie Yunhai took a deep breath as his face rapidly grew cold.
His gaze went back and forth between Chai Longge and his sister before saying with a stern, threatening tone, “I’m from the Water Moon Sect in the Domain of Vast Darkness. You’d better think it through if you want to take this Fortune Well by force.”
He was well-aware that, just like him, Chai Fengwu also practiced water power. The Fortune Well he had obtained from Nie Tian through their swap also suited Chai Fengwu’s needs.
While Chai Fengwu’s cultivation base was the same as his, Chai Longge’s cultivation base was higher than his.
If the brother-sister pair teamed up on him, he would most likely find himself in a difficult situation.
“The Water Moon Sect from the Domain of Vast Darkness, and his family name is Xie...” Chai Longge’s expression suddenly flickered, as if he had remembered something.
Immediately afterwards, he signaled Chai Fengwu to stay back with his gaze, and then said, “Well, since my little sister isn’t fated to have it, we don’t intend to take it by force.”
“That’d be for the best,” Xie Yunhai said with a plain tone, but the vigilant look in his eyes didn’t fade.
While keeping an eye on Chai Longge and Chai Fengwu, he took out numerous water-attributed spiritual materials from within his ring of holding, and started placing them around the Fortune Well in a special formation.
Soon, a glistening hemispherical ward enveloped him and the Fortune Well.
Only then did a hint of relief appear on his face as he walked to the mouth of the Fortune Well and started channeling water power essence from it.
“Dammit!” Mu Biqiong cursed inwardly after seeing Nie Tian start building a Wood Thriving Formation with tree branches after landing by his new Fortune Well on the Bone Blood Demon.
She also practiced wood power, so that well suited her needs too.
If she could have the demonic flowers inside of her channel wood power essence from it, she would have a great chance at breaking through from the late Worldly realm into the Profound realm.
However, since Xie Yunhai was originally rather far from her, by the time she had discovered that his Fortune Well was spewing wood power essence, he had already proposed to swap Fortune Wells with Nie Tian.
If she had discovered it earlier, she would have flown over without the slightest hesitation, killing Xie Yunhai and taking his Fortune Well.
She had never been known as a kind person. Her vicious and relentless nature was known throughout the entire Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries.
