Chapter 92: Spiritual Eye Divine Ability, Piercing-Delusion Golden Eyes!
After hearing Xu Zhengyang’s plan, Liu Baoshan’s expression turned complicated.
As things stood now.
Even without himself, Xu Zhengyang alone was enough to handle the Earthbound Spirit within the Rotten Bone Forest…
Liu Baoshan secretly put himself in Xu Zhengyang’s place:
“If my cultivation were reduced to the sixth layer of Qi Refining, could I deal with that Earthbound Spirit?”
A moment later.
Liu Baoshan let out an almost imperceptible sigh, then took the initiative to say, “Third Young Master, I heard that you recently hunted down a Golden-Eyed Python?”
At this time, Xu Zhengyang was using Different Flame to refine spiritual materials in preparation for making the Hidden Origin Banner.
When he heard Liu Baoshan’s words, his heart stirred.
But on the surface, he showed no change, only nodded and said, “Yes, that Golden-Eyed Python was rather good at hiding.”
Liu Baoshan continued, “Then did Third Young Master happen to keep that beast’s eyes?”
“I kept them,” Xu Zhengyang said.
…
Liu Baoshan was silent for a moment, then finally said, “In my youth, I once obtained a chance encounter and gained a Spiritual Eye divine ability, called Piercing-Delusion Golden Eyes.
This technique is truly extraordinary.
It does not rely on cultivation methods, does not choose aptitude, and requires no comprehension.
As long as a cultivator gathers the required spiritual materials, refines them into a medicinal liquid, and then uses a secret method to fuse it, one can cultivate it!
Now that my lifespan is nearing its end, I cannot bear to let this technique be cut off.
I wonder if Third Young Master would be willing to inherit this legacy for me?”
Liu Baoshan had been able to serve as a Guest Elder at Divine Mechanism Peak all because of this very Piercing-Delusion Golden Eyes divine ability.
Seeing that Liu Baoshan wanted to pass this divine ability to him, Xu Zhengyang very much wanted it in his heart, but he still cautiously said, “This technique is Elder Liu’s foundation of survival.
What virtue or ability do I have to deserve such favor?”
Liu Baoshan waved his hand indifferently and said, “As long as Third Young Master can do me a small favor.
I will immediately offer this technique with both hands!”
Xu Zhengyang asked cautiously, “What favor? Elder Liu, why not speak it plainly?”
Liu Baoshan did not conceal it.
He immediately took out a painting scroll from his Storage Pouch, gently stroking the image of the young maiden upon it, and said, “My daughter Liu Jingya possesses both Water and Fire spiritual roots.
Not long ago, Spirit Mechanism Peak held an expanded recruitment. By chance, my daughter was able to enter and become an Inner Disciple.
As my end draws near, my only concern is my daughter—I cannot put my heart at ease.
After much consideration.
I know that Third Young Master’s future will be limitless.
If Third Young Master would take my daughter as a concubine.
Then this Piercing-Delusion Golden Eyes will be her dowry, offered with both hands!”
Xu Zhengyang was dumbfounded. He had never expected Liu Baoshan to make such a request.
Not to mention in the cultivation world.
Even in the mortal world, a concubine was little more than a high-ranking maidservant.
The maiden in the scroll was stunningly beautiful. With Liu Baoshan giving both his daughter and a divine ability, Xu Zhengyang should by all reason have been overjoyed.
But not long ago, he had already made an agreement with Gao Ge.
Once he successfully established Foundation, they would use the Gao Clan’s secret Yin-Yang Harmonization Mystic Spirit Art to engage in Dual Cultivation.
Through this art, they would each transfer half of their Different Flames to the other, so that both could wield two flames.
As a True Disciple of Divine Mechanism Peak,
Even if he were to take a concubine,
He would need to hold a banquet to announce it to all.
Gao Ge, as a Guest Elder of Divine Mechanism Peak, would certainly be on the guest list. Should she attend that banquet…
Just imagining the scene made Xu Zhengyang shudder.
…
Because of this.
After a moment of thought, Xu Zhengyang said to Liu Baoshan, “To take Elder Liu’s beloved daughter as a concubine would truly demean her.”
At this point, Xu Zhengyang paused, then continued, “Why not instead allow me to mediate, so that my master may accept your daughter as a registered disciple?
In this way.
She and I would address each other as senior and junior siblings.
From then on.
No matter what difficulties she encounters, I will do all I can to assist her. What does Elder Liu think?”
Although registered disciples were not formally recorded in the sect’s genealogy, nor could they inherit true teachings, they still enjoyed the sect’s protection and identity, preventing them from being easily insulted.
Being Elder Pei Zhen’s registered disciple was certainly more respectable than being Xu Zhengyang’s concubine.
Because of this.
Upon hearing Xu Zhengyang’s suggestion, Liu Baoshan’s excitement was visible to the naked eye!
That being said.
Liu Baoshan still pretended to hesitate, saying, “This… would it not trouble Head Elder Pei?”
“No trouble.”
Seeing Liu Baoshan’s expression, Xu Zhengyang knew the matter was already settled.
So he smiled, took out a Messaging Talisman, and said to Liu Baoshan, “Please wait a moment, Elder Liu.”
…
A short while later.
After Xu Zhengyang explained the matter to Pei Zhen and received his reply, he smiled and said to Liu Baoshan, “My master has agreed!
At that time.
Elder Liu may have your daughter present the Piercing-Delusion Golden Eyes as her offering upon apprenticeship.
My master will also prepare a gift in return for her.”
When Liu Baoshan heard Xu Zhengyang’s words, his excitement could no longer be contained. He immediately bowed deeply and solemnly said, “For securing a place of belonging for my daughter, Third Young Master—
Never mind this Piercing-Delusion Golden Eyes.
Even if you asked for my remaining life, I would die without regret!”
“Elder Liu, you overstate it.”
Xu Zhengyang hurriedly helped Liu Baoshan up and said, “How could someone like me possibly bear such a weighty courtesy?
Let us first deal with this evil cultivator before us.
Once we return to the mountain, we can discuss this matter further.”
Liu Baoshan replied decisively, “Everything will be as Third Young Master commands!”
…
The next day, at dawn.
As the first rays of the rising sun pierced into the Rotten Bone Forest, the dense Yin energy within began to dissipate, no longer as eerie as the night before.
Xu Zhengyang and Liu Baoshan exchanged a glance, then moved into action together!
Xu Zhengyang handed the refined Hidden Origin Banner to Liu Baoshan, then passed him a Tier 2 Jade Talisman, saying, “Elder Liu, do not put away the Pure Yang Fire Barrier just yet.
While refining the Hidden Origin Banner last night.
I also set up a Concealment Restriction and a Fixed-Point Teleportation Restriction outside it.
If the two of us are not a match for that Earthbound Spirit,
We will immediately shatter the Fixed-Point Teleportation Talisman, retreat into the Pure Yang Fire Barrier, recover, and plan anew!”
Liu Baoshan replied with a calm tone of flattery, “Third Young Master’s foresight is unparalleled. I am ashamed to be inferior.”
Since last night, when Pei Zhen agreed to take Liu Baoshan’s daughter as a registered disciple.
Liu Baoshan’s mindset had shifted.
From that moment, he treated Xu Zhengyang as a “young master.”
Having a Tier 2 cultivator treat him with such respect made Xu Zhengyang feel uncomfortable.
But no matter what Xu Zhengyang said.
Liu Baoshan remained as deferential as ever, nearly to the point of calling himself a “humble servant.”
Seeing that further words were useless.
Xu Zhengyang could only let it be. He then waved his hand boldly and said, “Then let us go meet this Earthbound Spirit and see what tricks it has to offer!”
“Yes, Third Young Master.”
As Liu Baoshan spoke, he immediately activated the Piercing-Delusion Golden Eyes, transforming his pupils into golden vertical slits.
Then he said, “The forest is perilous. Allow me, this old man, to lead the way!”
