Chapter 144: Twitterpated Couple (III)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
At night, Luo Jianqing decided to gather some information about that Ding Hai Sect. Xuan Lingzi wanted to go with him. The disciple chuckled, “Master, it’s just a tiny little sect. There’s no need of your escort. I got this.”
Tilting his head, Xuan Lingzi faced his disciple, “Are you sure? Just a kind reminder that you don’t have any cultivation base right now.”
Luo Jianqing’s smile froze, “When did I ever lose my cultivation base?”
Lifting the corner of his mouth, Xuan Lingzi fixed his eyes on Luo Jianqing. “Right now.”
Trying to operate his Spiritual Power to prove him wrong, Luo Jianqing immediately realized that the Spiritual Power inside his body was locked at every single acupoint. They were unable to be operated, not to mention to use them for defense. The power which locked up his Spiritual Power wasn’t hurting him either, given the fact that it allowed Luo Jianqing to cultivate in order to gain Spiritual Power from the nature, as long as he was not trying to use these Spiritual Power.
Finally, Lou Jianqing figured out what was going on. Face darkening, he heard his Master saying, “Since you want to experience the life of a commoner, go ahead, try to really be like one. Jianqing, on this journey to the Northern Land of Arctic, I will constrain your Spiritual Power unless we are facing some serious danger. There is no way to ferry over the ocean when your boat is not even touching the sea. Now, here’s your boat.”
Hearing this, Luo Jianqing swallowed back his words of refutation.
Xuan Lingzi was right. The Northern Land of Arctic was a hundred thousand miles away from them. They had to cross the whole Fei Hua Sect and four or five commoner’s countries to get there. Using Spiritual Power could be counted as “cheating”. Now that his Master was here to constrain his cultivation base, Luo Jianqing actually had an advantage that others didn’t have.
Pondering for a while, Luo Jianqing nodded, and agreed with his Master’s decision.
Seeing his reaction, Xuan Lingzi relieved and then held Luo Jianqing’s hand. Fingers intertwined with his Master’s, Luo Jianqing looked back at Xuan Lingzi, slightly abstracted. Moonlight fell on Xuan Lingzi’s visage. Smiling, his Master never lost his charisma even after having the Disguise Pill.
“I will do it as well, constrain my Spiritual Power. Now we are just two commoners.”
Under the cover of a murky night, two dark figures were fliting in the town quietly. Feet gently tapping the ground, they were like two spirits, moving at a lightning speed like a waft of wind. No one could catch their figures.
Even though their Spiritual Power was constrained, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi’s strength was still out of reach of a commoner. Soon, they left the town which already fell asleep in serenity. Having gathered enough information in the day time, Luo Jianqing led his Master to the southeast.
They kept that speed for about thirty miles. Suddenly, Xuan Lingzi stopped Luo Jianqing, “There are some wards.”
Vigilantly, Luo Jianqing slowed down and concealed his presence.
Normally, cultivators at their level of cultivation would pay no attention to such small wards like these. The person who set up the wards wouldn’t notice anything even if they step right into the ward. This time, however, Xuan Lingzi bent down and picked up several pieces of stone.
Xuan Lingzi said, “Jianqing, you are not good at dissembling ward nor forging pills or items. Now that you have me to back you up, but I can’t stay by your side every single second. Today, what lay in front of us are a set of the simplest First-Level Ward. Try to dissemble it, to gain some experience on ward setting.”
Smiling, Luo Jianqing said yes.
The disciple would seldom wear black, but he did so today for their mission in the darkness. The garment in complete black gave Luo Jianqing’s skin a more pale-like lustrous color. Though after having the Disguise Pill, Luo Jianqing’s appearance was already worn down, he was still dazzling like a shining star, sparkling and elegant as always.
Under the moonlight, Luo Jianqing took steps carefully while putting down the peddles. Standing aside, Xuan Lingzi was watching him with a dreamy and distant gaze which was fulfilled with adoration.
What Luo Jianqing was doing was way more difficult than just dysfunctioning the ward. He needed to create an entrance for his Master and himself without notifying the change to the ward owner.
Xuan Lingzi was right. Luo Jianqing was not a very talented student speaking of Pill/Item forging or ward setting. In fact, however, nearly all of the famous cultivators in history had at least one specialty. For instance, Xuan Lingzi was very good at pill forging while the Fiend Exalt was a pro-item forger. Though they were not one of the best Pill Forger or Item Forger, they made their names a famous one in the forging field.
