Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

The hall was deathly silent.

Under Song Lingxue's watchful eyes, Miao Luan felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles, but what worried her more was the concern for her master.

Chu Zheng had previously stated he would not harm her life, and it seemed unlikely he would go back on his word.

For this reason, she hoped even more that her master would not come, even if it meant that she was not very important in her master's heart.

After a while, Song Lingxue, who was not far away, slowly rose to her feet, her expression calm as she turned and left.

The person in front of her was still useful to Chu Zheng; she wouldn't waste time probing any possible ties between Chu Zheng and Miao Luan, opting instead to spend more time training.

As long as her own strength was strong enough, she could block all potential troubles, and even if there were some annoying suitors, she could squash them with a lift of her hand.

When she reached the outside of the hall, she saw Chu Zheng gazing into the distant void. Song Lingxue walked up behind him at a leisurely pace and suddenly bent down to bite deeply into the side of his neck.

"Hiss—"

Chu Zheng inhaled sharply and then sighed lightly, a trace of helplessness in his eyes:

"I have nothing to do with her."

"I know."

Hearing Chu Zheng's explanation, Song Lingxue's eyes sparkled with laughter. She replied and glanced at the faint red teeth mark on the young man's neck, feeling the invisible unease within her dissipate greatly.

She raised her hand to tidy Chu Zheng's slightly disheveled hair, carefully fixing it before stepping onto the ritual combat platform without speaking another word.

......

......

Several days later, at the break of dawn.

The raging Angry River rumbled from the horizon and amidst the vast sky, mist rose from the water, reflecting a seven-colored light under the brilliance of the rising sun.

A rainbow bridge spanned the heavens and earth, and upon it, a figure approached with measured steps.

Upon seeing this, Chu Zheng's spirits lifted, and he got to his feet.

After a few breaths, a message from the Mountain Guardian Elder was delivered to his hands.

"Zuo Lingzhi of Tai Xu Holy Land has come to pay homage to the mountain."

After pondering for a while, Chu Zheng summoned Gong Rulong to solidify their ranks. Even though they were in the Taixuan Holy Land, they could not be careless; having a powerful cultivator from the Tongxuan Secret Realm at his side was the only way to ensure absolute safety.

Moreover, Zuo Lingzhi was from the Tai Xu Holy Land and could not be ruled out as someone who might risk her life to kill him.

Upon receiving the message, Gong Rulong personally handled the situation and led Zuo Lingzhi into Taixuan. Discover more stories at m,v l'e|m-p| y r

Half an hour later, Chu Zheng arrived at the grand hall where he had previously met with the Song Clan, bringing Miao Luan with him.

'Spirit Control True Monarch, Zuo Lingzhi...'

Chu Zheng scrutinized the woman in green before him. As she was wearing a face veil, he couldn't make out her face, but judging by her brows and eyes, she appeared to be in her thirties. If it wasn't for some age-defying technique, then she must naturally have an ample lifespan.

"I have brought the Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Dew with me. In recent years, the Tai Xu Secret Realm has seldom been opened, and there is not much of the Cloud Pool Holy Water left. The rest of the spiritual objects that could be found are all here. Can they exchange for my disciple's life?"

As soon as she saw Miao Luan, Zuo Lingzhi didn't beat around the bush. She promptly brought out more than a dozen spiritual objects and placed them in front of Chu Zheng.

In an instant, the great hall was filled with rich Water Element Qi, to the extent that even the dome above the dais was enveloped in a glistening layer of water light.

At this sight, Miao Luan's eyes reddened slightly. In the entire Tai Xu Holy Land, Zuo Lingzhi was probably the only one willing to spend so many spiritual objects just to save the life of a disciple.

She wanted to speak, but the seal had rendered her mute, and in that moment, she felt a mix of emotions, too complex to express.

"Of course."

Chu Zheng nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on one of the Jade Cups, finding it somewhat difficult to look away.

Within the Jade Cup, a pale silver Jade Dew shimmered, as if stars flickered within with the slightest movement.

Chu Zheng gathered all the spiritual objects and, with a wave of his hand, pushed Miao Luan toward Zuo Lingzhi, while transmitting a message, 'Keep that high-quality magic treasure of yours with me for now, to avoid any trouble.'

Giving it back to Miao Luan in front of Zuo Lingxian would lead to a lot of speculation, and from this, it wouldn't be difficult to deduce that it was Miao Luan who leaked the Great Void Scripture, which could easily bring disaster upon her.

Since he intended to spare Miao Luan, Chu Zheng certainly wouldn't harm her.

Zuo Lingzhi's expression remained unchanged. She pulled Miao Luan to her side and removed the seal. After a thorough check, she couldn't help but sigh with relief.

If Taixuan really pushed matters to the extreme, she had no options since the Heavenly Eye was always watching from above, monitoring the people of the world. Forcing action would only instantly draw the Immortal Alliance.

For this trip, she had even prepared for Taixuan Holy Land to go back on their word.

Chu Zheng collected a dozen or so spiritual objects and then threw out a Storage Bag, saying softly,

"This is my compensation to the True Monarch."

Zuo Lingzhi caught the Storage Bag, and after a glance, couldn't hide her astonishment,

"Two top quality magical treasures, a hundred thousand high-quality Spirit Stones, worthy of a Holy Land, indeed a generous gesture."

An average Sixth Order Divine Infant Cultivator simply couldn't come up with such resources.

Upon hearing about the two top-quality magic treasures, Miao Luan couldn't help but look up at Chu Zheng in surprise.

Originally, Chu Zheng had promised to return her magic treasure and give her another top-quality one; now he's doubled it.

After Zuo Lingzhi accepted the Storage Bag, it was clear she had no intention of small talk. She quickly left with Miao Luan.

Once they were out of Taixuan, Miao Luan finally spoke with a face full of shame, "Master, I..."

"No need to apologize."

Zuo Lingzhi shook her head, her voice steady, "Without the Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Dew, I can still Enter Tong Xuan. Don't worry, to exchange for two top-quality magical treasures isn't too much of a loss. This Chu Zheng turns out to be quite honorable."

Chu Zheng could have chosen not to offer any resources at all, for the spiritual objects would ultimately have to be handed over to him. To offer such a significant compensation was commendable.

Miao Luan's expression was conflicted, but after hesitating for a long while, she still swallowed the words she had intended to confess.

Her Life Soul had been returned by Chu Zheng, and now she was free. To speak of it now would only unnecessarily trouble her master.

After all, it was because of her that the Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Dew was lost, which was an inescapable responsibility of hers. She could only think of ways to make amends in the future.

......

......

Taixuan Holy Land.

Within a secret chamber, Chu Zheng took out that same Jade Cup from before, his gaze slightly stirring.

[Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Dew (Sixth Order): A spiritual awakening object. When the cosmic star energy encounters Sword Frost Condensation Dew, it carries a yin aspect within water, greatly increasing the affinity of living beings for water attribute spiritual power and aiding in the breakthrough of spiritual awakening.]

Without much hesitation, Chu Zheng drank it down and started retreating for cultivation.

The Ten Thousand Stars Heavenly Dew, as a wonder of the world and with the assistance of the Great Void Scripture, significantly increased his Water Attribute Dao Foundation by one level after consuming it all, and this took just a moment.

Moreover, at this stage, its medicinal power was far from exhausted. The originally nine-leveled Dao Foundation showed signs of merging and seemed about to coalesce into one entity.

Moved by this development, Chu Zheng took out all the remaining spiritual objects, ingested them all, and, disregarding his flesh being stretched to its limits by the spiritual energy, began to push forward the evolution of his Dao Foundation.

As the layers of the Dao Foundation gradually fused, the original nine layers transformed into a jade pillar standing within his Dantian, smooth and flawless.
