Chapter 106: That What They All Said

After examining the bamboo, Chen Ming knew the reason behind this special trait . It absorbed ten thousand swords’ sword energy . And despite being refined differently all the swords had the same purpose .

Chen Ming wasn’t of the idea of only turn it into his treasure . He wanted to turn it into a living treasure, a heavenly treasure, one tailored to him, one that was rarest of the rare .

While preserving its ability to grow ever stronger!

If he used fire, then it would die, along with its best trait . What Chen Ming wanted was to turn this bamboo into a divine weapon with its own awareness, a growth type divine weapon .

Reading many equipment refining scriptures, he had yet to find the one who could handle living materials . They were all methods that worked with dead objects .

This live refining method was most likely something only an ancient immortal sect would have . But if he just went to Astral Immortal Sect and said he wanted one, they wouldn’t kill him . But he would end up divulging this secret to them .

Then what should I do?

Chen Ming learned from Xing Ming that Jade Void Temple was once an immortal sect . It even created an immortal . But after the coming of Ghost Immortal, they swiftly declined .

I’ll just give a try searching in Jade Void Temple . And since I’m there might as well hand over this month’s pills to Xing Ming .

With the Drifting Feather Art, Chen Ming’s speed multiplied and in just a day he was at the sect . The Sect Leader noticed his coming and went to greet him . Chen Ming smiled, “I heard that you gave rise to an immortal a thousand years ago . Why have you fallen to such a state?”

The Sect Leader sighed, “I’m not very clear on this matter . What I know is that after Founder became immortal, he found something of great importance and used all of our resources . This resulted in our decline you see today . And we have yet to hear from our Founder ever since . ”

They didn’t know anything about the clash with Ghost Immortal . What happened to the Immortal Pill Cauldron was tragic . He just became an immortal and he had to resist the much powerful Ghost Immortal . If he didn’t have some understanding of this world, he wouldn’t have been successful in sealing Ghost Immortal, who had a clear advantage over him .

Chen Ming asked, “Have your Founder left anything behind?”

“He did actually, but there hasn’t been one to make heads or tails of those scriptures!”

“Could you let me take a look?”

He didn’t mind it . Many previous Sect Leaders had the intention of comprehending them, but they all failed, unable to get any use from them .

Taking Chen Ming to a rotting attic, the Sect Leader indicated, “This is the residence of our Founder in those years . From time to time, we come to see the scriptures . But they are all decayed, with words fading away . ”

Chen Ming was hit by a rotten smell as he entered . It already passed a thousand years, yet it was in this condition . It must have been hard to preserve it .

Chen Ming lifted a book, flipped it, Eh? Are these characters? Aren’t they just scribbles?

This illegible writing had reached a heaven-defying state!

No wonder no one comprehended it . They can’t even read it!

He reckoned Immortal Pill Cauldron wanted to pass on these precious scriptures; only to die out because of his sloppy writing .

Chen Ming wasn’t one to care since he had the system to evaluate it anyway, “Comprehend this scripture . ”

“Ding! Comprehending the pill recipe Flawless Jade Pill requires eighteen thousand merits . ”

That’s an immortal’s legacy alright, taking even eighteen thousand merits to learn!

But this wasn’t what he wanted . This was just a pill recipe .

Chen Ming took another scripture, “Comprehend this one . ”

“Ding! Comprehending Nature Immortal Cauldron requires a million merits . ”

Eh!? This cultivation method wants a million merits? This was an immortal ranked cultivation method, many times more profound than Illustrious Casket, something that Chen Ming had only enough to comprehend the first stage .

He didn’t take it with him . Not comprehending an illegible thing, then taking it with him proved no point since no one could read it . Yet the system still recognized it .

After a search through the scriptures, he picked another book, “Comprehend this scripture . ”

“Ding! Comprehending Basics of Immortal Tools Refining requires ten thousand merits . ”

I finally found what I need, but isn’t the price too high? He asked inwardly, “How many stages does it have?”

“Ding! After scanning, it can be divided into three stages . ”

“How many merits for the first one?”

“Ding! The first stage requires five thousand, allowing the refinement of prototype immortal equipment . ”

Even an immortal equipment prototype is good! With his income of then thousand a month, he would just be patient for half a month .

Chen Ming looked at the Sect Leader, “Give me all of these faded scriptures . ”

The Sect Leader didn’t refute . He gave them many times but never were they understood, “Alright, I will prepare them . But let me warn you, you cannot train them on a whim . ”

Chen Ming was puzzled, “Eh, why is that?”

“Many who could recognize Founder’s writing trained in secret then went crazy and exploded . ”

Chen Ming’s face went black, No wonder Jade Void Temple decayed to this state . “Be at ease, I will only take them . They are things left by an immortal after all . ”

Chen Ming asked impatiently when he saw Sect Leader’s hesitation, “What now? If there’s something you want to say, just say it . ”

“That’s what they all said, before suffering from deviation and blew up . ”

Chen Ming: …

Chen Ming could imagine those collectors‘ experience . They got their hands on an immortal’s legacy, then carefully investigated Immortal Pill Cauldron’s life . And on a certain night, with a starry sky, they laughed, “I know the secret of this scriptures!” Then they followed the pill recipe and began cultivating with the resulted pill . Then deviation came, of course, and exploded . That was how those scientists passed away .

He went and met with Xing Ming, giving him this month’s pills, two hundred thousand, neither more nor less .

The pills eaten by Yan Mountain’s fiend army were refined by disciples for that occasion, not affecting Yan Mountain’s schedule . So he could deliver the entire amount without a problem .

Xing Ming smiled dejectedly, “You are a great fortune upon us in this time of need . Without a supply of pills, the war would fall into a desperate state, So I once again request your sect’s help! ”

Chen Ming nodded, “Don’t worry, half a year later, we will make a million pills!”
