Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 42 Golden Thunder Bamboo, Purple Spirit

Thunder Bamboo is one of the three divine trees in the cultivation world.

Although the Thunder Bamboo that Zhou Yuan brought out was only a few hundred years old, for Chen Liang, who was able to cultivate spiritual herbs and plants, obtaining this Thunder Bamboo with roots was almost the same as obtaining a ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Thunder Bamboo possesses the powerful divine ability of "Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder," which can overcome all evil spirits in the world. Once it appears in the world, it will definitely become a top-tier treasure that all Nascent Soul cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea will scramble for.

Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin were naturally aware of these things, so after obtaining the Thunder Bamboo, they quickly had Yuan Yao and Yanli deliver it to them.

At this moment, Yuan Yao took out a jade box emitting a blue glow from her storage bag and placed it in front of Chen Liang.

As Chen Liang gently opened it with his spiritual power, half of a somewhat withered green bamboo appeared before him. It was the Thunder Bamboo.

Out of curiosity, Chen Liang tested its power with a small knife-shaped magical artifact.

As a result, the small knife-shaped magical artifact was naturally knocked away by the white lightning emitted by the Thunder Bamboo.

Seeing this, Chen Liang no longer cared about being affectionate with Yuan Yao and Yan Li, and quickly planted the Thunder Bamboo in his own medicinal garden.

Once this Thunder Bamboo grows into Golden Thunder Bamboo, Chen Liang will be able to obtain a great supernatural power with infinite uses.

That jade box was also an extraordinary item. It was made of jade paste and could preserve the vitality of spiritual plants that had left the soil. It was the best auxiliary tool for transplanting precious spiritual plants, so Chen Liang put it away.

Afterwards, in high spirits, Chen Liang even went back to Tianxing City with Yuan Yao and Yanli to meet Zhou Yuan, the current sect leader of Miaoyin Sect.

At that time, Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin led Chen Liang directly into the Miaoyinmen garrison in Tianxing City, where they met Zhou Yuan in an indoor courtyard with carved railings and jade steps, and the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

Behind her followed a beautiful woman wearing a purple veil.

This was the first time Chen Liang had met Zhou Yuan, a gentle young woman who always wore purple robes, and it was also the first time Zhou Yuan had met Chen Liang, a renowned rogue cultivator with five spiritual roots who had formed the Golden Core stage and was also the most affectionate male cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Chen Qiaoqian, Xin Ruyin, Xiaomei, Yuan Yao, and Yanli are all low-key. Although they have all reached the Core Formation stage, only Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin, Chen Liang's official Daoist partners, have revealed their Core Formation cultivation.

However, for Chen Liang, a rogue cultivator who had only recently reached the Core Formation stage, to be able to train both of his legitimate Daoist partners to become Core Formation cultivators was already a miracle in the eyes of outsiders.

As Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin revealed their Core Formation cultivation, the cultivators of the Chaotic Star Sea discussed the matter, and Chen Liang was awarded the title of the most affectionate male cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea.

At this moment, Chen Liang only displayed the cultivation level of the mid-stage Core Formation, but in reality, he had already advanced to the late-stage Core Formation more than ten years ago. Even so, Zhou Yuan was still taken aback.

Take herself as an example. She has been stuck in the early stage of Core Formation for more than a hundred years, but she hasn't even touched the peak of the early stage of Core Formation yet.

Chen Liang had advanced to the mid-stage of Core Formation in less than sixty years, which reminded Zhou Yuan of some rumors circulating in the streets.

The fact that Chen Liang, a rogue cultivator who had only reached the Core Formation stage, had managed to train his two partners to become Core Formation cultivators had been a topic of much discussion among cultivators.

Some say that Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin were able to become Core Formation cultivators because of their diligent cultivation. In addition, Chen Liang frequently went to the outer seas to hunt demons, and his wealth provided them with many cultivation resources.

Some say that Chen Liang must have obtained a Dividing Yuan Pill left behind by some senior, which is why he can not only form his own core but also benefit his Daoist partner.

The Dividing Essence Pill is an ancient precious pill that can replace dozens or even hundreds of years of arduous cultivation.

Such precious pills often appear in various rumors, and are a kind of extraordinary encounter that low-level cultivators yearn for.

Therefore, it is normal for such speculation to exist in the public sphere.

Some people speculate that Chen Liang obtained the recipe for the Yuan-Dividing Pill and used his own true essence as the main ingredient to refine the Yuan-Dividing Pill, which is why Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin were able to advance to the Core Formation stage in a short period of time.

Zhou Yuan originally thought that Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin were able to form their cores because of their own hard work and the resources provided by Chen Liang, but now she agrees with the second guess.

Regardless of the speculation, Zhou Yuan, and indeed the vast majority of female cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea, believed in Chen Liang's character as the most affectionate male cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Therefore, Zhou Yuan gracefully cupped her hands in a salute and said, "This humble servant is Zhou Yuan, and greets Fellow Daoist Chen."

The beautiful female cultivator following behind her bowed and said, "Junior Wang Ning greets Senior."

Chen Liang returned the greeting with a cupped hand and said, "Sect Leader Zhou and Young Sect Leader, you are too kind. I apologize for my presumptuous visit."

The two then sat down and exchanged pleasantries.

During this time, Wang Ning secretly glanced at Chen Liang several times, and Chen Liang also paid close attention to Wang Ning.

Although the veil on Wang Ning's face was a rare treasure that could conceal her face and block the divine sense probing of ordinary Core Formation cultivators.

But this did not stop Chen Liang's mutated divine sense at all. Moreover, Chen Liang's divine sense had now reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, so he easily discovered Wang Ning's true identity.

It can only be said that Wang Ning truly deserves to be recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Chaotic Star Sea; her stunning beauty is indeed something Chen Liang has never seen in his life.

Of course, because she often covered her face with a purple veil, people outside called her Fairy Ziling.

Seeing that Chen Liang was paying close attention to her daughter, Zhou Yuan asked, "Fellow Daoist, you seem to be scrutinizing my daughter quite closely. Is there something amiss with her?"

Chen Liang: "No, it's just that young friend Wang Ning's physique seems to be the legendary 'virgin's pure yin body,' and it would be a waste of such extraordinary talent to cultivate ordinary techniques."

Upon hearing this, not only were Zhou Yuan and Zi Ling invigorated, but Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin also turned their attention to it.

Chen Liang then took out an ancient book he had brought from the Tiannan region and a copy of the "Xinghai Dictionary," saying, "You can take a look at this ancient book; it contains a description of the 'pure yin body' of a young woman."

After saying that, Chen Liang used his spiritual power to send the ancient book to Zhou Yuan and Zi Ling, and turned to the page that recorded the characteristics of the maiden's pure yin body.

With the help of the Xinghai Dictionary, Zhou Yuan and her daughter Zi Ling quickly understood the Tiannan script on it.

"The body of a young girl is pure yin, and her body is filled with pure yin energy. Those who possess this energy are often exceptionally beautiful and intelligent women."

The pure Yin represents the ultimate in peace. Therefore, this Qi can transform the malevolent energy of evil spirits, reduce inner demons, and further stabilize the body and soul, making it difficult for external demons to invade. It is most suitable for cultivating demonic arts...

The more Zhou Yuan and her daughter Zi Ling looked, the happier they became. At this point, they were basically certain that what Chen Liang said was true.

So they quickly stood up, bowed, and began to speak.

"I am deeply grateful for your guidance, fellow Daoist. I never imagined my daughter would possess such talent; it is I, as her mother, who have held her back."

"I am deeply grateful for your great kindness and virtue, senior. I have no way to repay you. I, Wang Ning, express my sincere gratitude."

Chen Liang waved his hand and said, "Oh, there's no need for that. I only recognized young friend Wang Ning's constitution because I've read a bit more books. I couldn't bear to see him waste his youth, so I offered my advice..."

Shortly afterward, despite Zhou Yuan and Zi Ling's best efforts to persuade Chen Liang to stay and to give him a proper welcome, Chen Liang still left with Chen Qiaoqian and Xin Ruyin.

After watching Chen Liang and the other two leave, Zhou Yuan turned to Zi Ling and said with a happy expression.

"Ning'er, this is wonderful. I never imagined that our initial intention to befriend your Aunt Qian and Aunt Yin, simply because they were so distinguished, would bring us such great benefits."

Zi Ling's face also showed a hint of joy as she said, "Yes, Mother. Now our Miaoyin Sect not only has three Core Formation cultivators, but Senior Chen is also our reliable ally. It's even better than when Father... Father was alive."

When talking about her father, Zi Ling's voice inevitably lowered.

Zhou Yuan sighed softly and said, "Alas, your father lives a carefree life all day long, and his strength is indeed a bit weak. How can he last long in this chaotic world?"

His downfall is to be expected. Never mind, let's not talk about him anymore.

Fortunately, my daughter is clever and knew to offer the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, which attracted Fellow Daoist Chen to our Wonderful Sound Sect. Otherwise, we wouldn't have this double joy today.

Upon hearing this, Zi Ling chuckled softly, and while coaxing her mother, she said, "Mother, please don't tease me."

"By the way, Mother, are those two men surnamed Zhao and Fu still bothering you?"

Zhou Yuan: "They've long since disappeared. Those two cowardly bullies, seeing that your Aunt Qian and Aunt Yin are willing to help us, they no longer dare to dream of getting both money and people."

"Fortunately, we have your family, Senior Chen; otherwise, I'm afraid we might have had to feign compliance with them to protect our Miaoyin Sect."

Zi Ling: "Mother, this is like inviting a wolf into the house; it's absolutely unacceptable."

Zhou Yuan: "Mother naturally knows and won't have such thoughts again. Alright, I still need to quickly find you a top-tier demonic skill..."
