Mortal: My divine sense has mutated.

Chapter 84 Magnetic Divine Iron

Next, Ling Xiaofeng tentatively inquired about Chen Liang's family background, but Chen Liang evaded the questions.

Finally, Wen Qing casually inquired, "Fellow Daoist, you are so young and accomplished; do you have a Daoist partner?"

Chen Liang: "Not yet." (Based on Mo Lu's identity)

Wen Qing: "Oh, that's a real pity. I was thinking that if you have a partner, I should at least get to know them."

Although that's what they said, Wen Qing and Ling Xiaofeng were secretly delighted.

Before they could think any further, Chen Liang was already getting impatient.

Chen Liang said somewhat reservedly, "Actually, I have a favor to ask of you during this visit, and I hope Fellow Daoist Ling and Fellow Daoist Wen can grant it."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofeng asked with a hint of wariness, "Fellow Daoist, what is this request?"

Just as Wen Qing, Ling Yuling, and even Zi Ling were lost in thought, Chen Liang said, "I wonder if you two would be willing to sell the Yuan Magnetic Divine Iron from Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain? I am willing to exchange it for a ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofeng and the others all showed some unusual expressions.

Ling Xiaofeng was surprised, while Wen Qing and Ling Yuling were surprised but also somewhat disappointed. Zi Ling, however, was secretly relieved at the same time.

Ling Xiaofeng: "Fellow Daoist, although the Yuan Magnetic Divine Iron is a top-grade material, it is extremely difficult to refine, let alone refine into a magic weapon. It is not as precious as the Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Thunder Bamboo."

Chen Liang: "Fellow Daoist Ling need not worry about the refining process; I should have some methods. As for the value, I hope Fellow Daoist Ling will provide a few more pieces of divine iron, but I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ling is willing to part with them."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofeng quickly began to calculate in his mind.

He and Wen Qing possessed the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, so even if Chen Liang obtained some Yuan Magnetic Divine Iron, the magic weapons he refined could not threaten them.

If they obtain the Ten-Thousand-Year Golden Thunder Bamboo, the magic weapon they refine will definitely be able to cause the Six Paths Supreme Saints a great loss at a crucial moment.

Ling Xiaofeng then said, "There is plenty of this Yuan Magnetic Divine Iron on the Divine Mountain. It would be fine to share some with you, but do you really have the Ten Thousand Year Golden Thunder Bamboo?"

Previously, what you obtained, fellow Daoist, was merely a Heavenly Thunder Bamboo that was several hundred years old.

Upon hearing this, Chen Liang couldn't help but smile slightly and began to lie through his teeth.

"What I had previously obtained was indeed a few hundred years old Thunder Bamboo. But out of curiosity, I traced the origin of this Thunder Bamboo and found this ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo in a certain ruin."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofeng instinctively teased, "Just one?"

Chen Liang: "Hahahaha..."

In the end, Wen Qing smoothed things over.

"Alright, alright, husband, please stop teasing Fellow Daoist Mo. Fellow Daoist Mo, did you bring your ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo? We can spare you some Yuan Magnetic Divine Iron anytime."

Seeing Wen Qing's somewhat anxious expression, Chen Liang immediately took out a sealed Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Looking at the green bamboo inside the jade box, which was crackling with golden lightning, even Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing, despite their noble status, couldn't help but feel a little envious.

The Star Palace had always cultivated Thunder Bamboo, but the Golden Thunder Bamboo was usually divided up as soon as it grew. By the time Ling Xiaofeng took charge of the Star Palace, there was no Golden Thunder Bamboo left for him.

Therefore, even though Ling Xiaofeng is the current master of the Star Palace, he still has to covet the Ten Thousand Year Golden Thunder Bamboo.

Things went much more smoothly after that. Ling Xiaofeng returned to the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain high in the sky and retrieved some Yuan Magnetic Divine Iron for Chen Liang.

Chen Liang then handed the Golden Thunder Bamboo directly to Wen Qing.

After the transaction was completed, both parties were very happy.

For Chen Liang, all he needs to do is use his Primordial Spiritual Power to refine these Primordial Magnetic Divine Irons containing Primordial Magnetic Divine Light. In that case, he will not only obtain the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, an unparalleled divine power with immense power, but he can also refine these Primordial Magnetic Divine Irons into the Primordial Harmony Radiant Mirror to enhance his natal magic weapon.

For Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing, neither Liu Dao Ji Sheng's past covetousness of Wen Qing nor his current covetousness of Ling Yu Ling is forgivable.

With this Golden Thunder Bamboo, they could make the Six Paths Supreme Saints pay a heavy price.

Therefore, Ling Xiaofeng, who was in high spirits, said, "I wonder if you would be willing to join the Star Palace? The Star Palace is willing to offer you the position of Seventh Elder."

The Star Palace, a behemoth, has ruled the Chaotic Star Sea for many years. Even in its weakened present state, the Star Palace still has more than thirty Nascent Soul cultivators under its command.

Although most of them were early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, there were also six mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, including Jin Kui, and two late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, Shuang Sheng.

The position of the seventh elder of the Star Palace promised by Ling Xiaofeng means that once Chen Liang joins the Star Palace, his status will be on par with the six mid-stage Nascent Soul elders of the Star Palace, and he will directly possess the core decision-making and law enforcement power of the Star Palace.

Therefore, the position of the Seventh Elder carries considerable weight.

But neither Chen Liang nor his second clone had the time. So he could only say, "Fellow Daoist Ling, my Starry Sky Sword Formation is still being perfected, and I truly have no time for anything else."

Moreover, I have no intention of getting involved in the internal strife of the human race; I am more interested in the sea demons, so I can only decline your kind offer.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaofeng felt both disappointed that Chen Liang was unwilling to join the Star Palace and pleased that Chen Liang knew how to continue to improve his trump cards and guard against foreign tribes.

So he said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you, fellow Daoist. I just hope that if you ever wish to join a faction in the future, you'll remember to choose our Star Palace first."

Afterwards, Chen Liang quickly left with Zi Ling. Ling Yu Ling got up to see them off, while Ling Xiao Feng and Wen Qing watched the three of them depart.

Only after Chen Liang and the other two figures completely disappeared from sight did Wen Qing say, "Mo Lu's strength and temperament are both excellent, and he should be a good match for Yu Ling."

Ling Xiaofeng, however, said more cautiously, "It's too early to draw conclusions. Let's observe further."

Wen Qing: "Then at least we should let Yu Ling get closer to her."

Ling Xiaofeng felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, but he still nodded. "Alright, but let's think more about how to solve the problem of this Yuan Magnetic Divine Light."

Upon hearing this, Wen Qing couldn't help but sigh, "Yes, I don't know what's going on with this method of cultivating supernatural power. The more we cultivate, the more we become inseparable from this Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain."

Otherwise, under the violent surge of the primordial magnetic divine light, we would at best suffer from disordered spiritual energy, and at worst risk exploding and dying.

Ling Xiaofeng said with some guilt, "My wife, it is I who have dragged you down. If I hadn't discovered the cultivation method of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and the existence of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain, I would have thought that my destiny was sealed."

"And I covet the powerful effect of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, which is certain to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage. If I cultivate this Primordial Magnetic Divine Light with you, my lady, you won't be imprisoned with me."

Wen Qing: "Why do we, husband and wife, need to say such things?"

Then, Ling Xiaofeng changed the subject and said, "Actually, after reading through ancient books, I discovered a clue. It seems that after those ancient cultivators advanced to the Core Formation stage, they were keen on completing their five elemental roots."

"The cultivation of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light can only begin at least at the Core Formation stage, so I speculate that the more complete one's Five Elements spiritual roots are, the smoother the cultivation of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light will be."

Wen Qing: "If that's really the case, where should we go to find the method to repair our spiritual roots?"

Ling Xiaofeng fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Actually, it's not necessary for us to replenish our spiritual roots ourselves. Perhaps taking in a disciple with five spiritual roots and having him cultivate the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light could help us resolve our current predicament."

Wen Qing instinctively shook his head and said, "Five-elemental root cultivators have no hope of forming their core, so how can they help us?"

Ling Xiaofeng laughed and said, "Madam, you are mistaken. More than a hundred years ago, in our Tianxing City, a rogue cultivator with five spiritual roots and who had reached the Core Formation stage was born."

I heard that young man even trained his two Daoist partners to become Core Formation cultivators, thus earning him the reputation of "the most affectionate male cultivator in the Chaotic Star Sea."

Wen Qing asked in surprise, "Really?"

Ling Xiaofeng: "Truly, I even considered matchmaking between Yu Ling and that boy. Although..."

Before Ling Xiaofeng could finish speaking, Wen Qing revealed a dangerous look in his eyes.

"Um?!"

Ling Xiaofeng instinctively sensed the problem, so he changed the subject and said, "However, that kid already has a Daoist partner and a concubine, so he's really not a good match. It seems that Yu Ling is more destined for that Mo Lu."

Although Ling Xiaofeng was already quite clever, Wen Qing still stared at him intently for a while.

Then Wen Qing spoke up, "With a great battle imminent, my husband should think more about how to deal with it."

Ling Xiaofeng: "Yes, yes, Madam is right. We can discuss the matter of taking on a disciple later."
