66 Non-Phase Three Generations Poor; The Void Spirit Ruined for the Entire Life (1/2)
After his Master had flown away, Wang Lu was still somewhat in denial. “It’s really unlike something that she would do.”
However, immediately after he finished speaking, a girl’s cold voice came from behind him, “You have a prejudice against her!”
Wang Lu smiled and turned around. He wasn’t surprised by the Lady Boss’s sudden appearance—this incompetent innkeeper ran her Ru Family Inn business like a dead dog, thus, in addition to wandering up the mountain, was there anything else she could do? Therefore, meeting her on the Spirit Sword Sect up the mountain wasn’t something that was unusual. Not to mention that his Master had gotten into trouble this time, so based on their deep sisterly love, she would certainly want to take a look.
Upon hearing her defending his Master, Wang Lu then shrugged. “Let’s not talk about me, among several hundreds of people of the Spirit Sword Sect, wasn’t a few of them also prejudiced against her?”
“Alas, Wang Wu, that idiot; she likes doing things on a whim and is especially fond of bullsh*t pranking. If people misunderstood her because of that, that’s her own fault, but… you’re her own Successor Disciple! How could you jeer at her like other ignorant people? And now with her current appearance, it was clear that she has some difficulties.”
Wang Lu deeply frowned. “Is the world’s justice and people’s affairs the source of her difficulties?”
“... Hey, she’s your Master.”
Seeing Wang Lu’s prejudice against his Master was too deep, Ling’Er thought that she should earnestly explain it to him—because he still respected her opinion and also for their sisterhood.
“I’m not talking about other things… I just want to talk to you about the Non-Phase Method that you practice. Now that you have reached the eighth layer of the Non-Phase Sword Bone, how does it feel?”
Wang Lu uttered a sneer and was about to reply, but little Ling’Er cut him off, “Use your conscience.”
“... Fine. Although the effect is quite extreme, it is undeniably a very good cultivation method. Although I don’t practice any other cultivation methods from the sect, base on this Non-Phase Sword Bone alone, I am pretty sure it’s one of the top-notch cultivation methods in the entire Immortal Cultivation World.”
Little Ling’Er nodded in approval. “Indeed, based on the effect on one’s body, it is second to none in the Immortal Cultivation World, at least from the defensive ability. Therefore, you should know how much thoughts she have put in this cultivation method, even revising it for more than a hundred times. It sounds like a joke, but if there is no great perseverance, it is impossible to reach this step.”
“Yeah, I can understand that.”
“No, you don’t really understand her difficulties… After a hundred years, it is certainly commendable that she had developed the Non-Phase Method into its current state. However, of the ten Spirit Sword Sect’s Elders, how come only she alone practice this self-made cultivation method? Based on talent, is her spirit root better than the Sect Leader’s Stellar Spirit Root? Based on perception, could she be compared to the Fourth Elder’s Sword Heart Brilliance? These talented people didn’t create their own cultivation method, so why is she different?”
Wang Lu thought for a moment. “Because there was no other choice?”
“Yes, she did not have a choice. Let’s not talk about perception, affinity and so on. Her spirit root is actually a fifth rated one. Moreover, it’s not the Five Elements Spirit Root, it was just a special spirit root. When she entered the Spirit Sword Sect, it was actually because of various kinds of coincidences, as well as her own hard work. However, if she wanted to effectively advance on the road of Immortal Cultivation, no matter how big the Spirit Sword Sect was, it still couldn’t help her. Thus, she could only rely on her own effort.”
Little Ling’Er sighed. “With this set of Non-Phase Method, she continued to make a breakthrough on the road of Immortal Cultivation, and eventually, she even hold the position of the Sect Elder. In reality, however, each step forward she took spent a hundred times more effort than the others. Why do you think she hates that Heaven Burning Blood Technique? It’s because compared to her bumpy journey on the Immortal Cultivation path, this kind of ‘as long as you burn a few years of your lifespan, you can rapidly advance your cultivation’ method is simply an insult to the Immortal Cultivation Path.”
“... Listening to your words, I feel like Master’s image suddenly grow tall and mighty.”
Little Ling’Er ruefully smiled. “Actually, her journey is a lot more harder than that… You know, although the Non-Phase Method is boundlessly useful and wonderful that it can even advance someone with a fifth rated spirit root to the level of Jindan Stage, but, in practice, it needs to consume resources several times, or even dozens of times more than the sum of resources required to be consumed by other cultivators! Take you, for example, the eighth layer of the Non-Phase Sword Bone is simply the end of your Body Refining Stage and the beginning of the Qi Cultivating Stage, but do you know the worth of all the Bone Strengthening Pills that you took to reach that stage?”
Wang Lu was taken aback; he had never actually thought about this! Because this bone strengthening pill was a medicine created by his own Master, not to mention the rank of the medicine, he didn’t even know the recipe. He only knew that it was made from the Cinnabar fruit, while the value of that Cinnabar fruit...
“F*ck! Wouldn’t it mean that I ate medicine worth at least thousands of spirit stones last month?!”
Little Ling’Er said, “Yes. Now that’s just for the eighth layer of Non-Phase Bone. However, Wang Wu has reached more than a hundredth layer… So, you should probably know why she’s that destitute, right?”
“Damn! Destitute, yet she still drink every day! Five hundred spirit stones per bottle of Spirit Spring Wine! Did she sell herself!?”
“Because at that time, she needed to consume Spirit Wine to raise her qi! Otherwise, do you think she’s that kind of ‘drunken poor’ people!? She didn’t even want to buy new clothes for herself! And she only has one set of clothes!”
Wang Lu was stunned as if he was struck by a lighting.
“At that time, before she descended the mountain, I secretly took her underwear; then that means, all this time she went out wandering, she…”
“Tsk, tsk, no wonder she became particularly violent and easy to lash out. You can’t cross a woman who goes commando…”
