My Informative Cultivation Life

Chapter 226 Let's go, junior brother, let's go trouble the old ghost Wanjie_2

Yang Ji nodded clearly and said, "Ancestor, do you have a Time Stone and a Space Stone? This disciple needs these two rare stones to craft my Lifebound Magic Treasure!"

"Time Stone? Space Stone?" The refined elder paused, exchanged glances with those present, and shook his head, "No!"

"Our sect indeed doesn't have them, but now that you mention it, I remember that the old ghost of Myriad Calamities seems to have a Time Stone." The square-faced elder commented.

"That old ghost of Myriad Calamities, by nature, is greedy, brutal, and capricious! In the past, he even joined forces with the other five Star Brigand Kings to attempt to rob our Xian Ding Sect; in the end, only by calling in some favors were we able to repel him.

Speaking of which, we still have some enmity with him, and even if we wanted to trade, it would be difficult!" the square-faced elder said, shaking his head.

"However, since you need the Time Stone and Space Stone for crafting your Lifebound Magic Treasure, we will try to secure them for you. Whether we can get them in the end will depend on fate and fortune," the refined elder said thoughtfully.

Yang Ji felt grateful in his heart and immediately bowed deeply, "Many thanks, Ancestor!"

"Hmm!" The refined elder nodded, "If there's nothing else, you may go. Continue to cultivate well and wait for our good news!"

After bowing once again, Qing Xuan led Yang Ji out of Xuan Ding Secret Realm!

...

Within a palace of Xian Ding Sect.

Yang Ji sat cross-legged, flipping his hand to reveal a water-red Medicine Pill; the essence of the Dao flowed within, dotted with Spiritual Light, and an odd flower resembling a plum blossom was constantly appearing and vanishing, filled with mystery and very peculiar.

Yang Ji knew that this flower resembling a plum blossom should be the Flower of Creation.

The Saint-creating Pill was round and full, translucent and shiny, storing an extremely powerful medicinal strength.

Yang Ji examined it for a moment, did not hesitate, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Whether he could achieve a Sacred Body would all depend on this attempt!

The moment the Dao Pill reached his abdomen, the powerful medicinal force rapidly dispersed, beginning to shape a Supreme Sacred Body for him.

Time ticked by slowly.

Yang Ji's physique underwent continuous transformation, and the Spiritual Energy around him gathered more and more until it finally formed into a thick white fog that tightly enveloped him.

The cloud of Spiritual Fog kept expanding, and after a hundred years, it even enveloped the entire vast palace, shrouding it completely.

Only then did Yang Ji slowly open his eyes.

His eyes shone with a sparkling radiance!

As his pores opened and closed, endless Spiritual Energy surged into him, overwhelmingly superb.

At this moment, Yang Ji felt incredibly attuned, as if he himself was one with the Spiritual Energy, not just any blend, but the exceedingly pure Spiritual Energy that overflowed from Supreme Spirit Stones.

Right now, he was truly in a state of total spiritual attunement.

He was in complete harmony with nature and even closer to the Great Dao.

Closing his eyes, he became one with heaven and earth and could instantaneously sense countless faint lines appearing between heaven and earth, densely packed and interweaving together like a net that enveloped the world.

He knew that this was the Great Dao!

The Great Dao is formless, but as a Sacred Body, the Dao was willing to manifest for him, willing to be comprehended by him—a privilege not possessed by a Spiritual Body.

A Sacred Body could casually sense the vague network of the Great Dao, while a Taoist Body could clearly see the complete network of the Great Dao.

This was the gap between a Sacred Body and a Taoist Body!

Yang Ji looked at the network of the Great Dao, his thoughts spinning rapidly. If he wished, he could achieve Void Refining and embrace the Dao right at that moment.

But he did not do so, for once he embraced the Dao, the Land of Origin would open for him.

If he couldn't enter within the limited time to Slay the Dao Tribulation, then he would never be able to become a Dao Child and obtain the Origin of the Dao.

Yang Ji knew deep down that he was not ready yet; his potential had not fully unfolded. He had a greater future ahead and there was no need to rush things.

Right then, he withdrew from the fusion with the Dao, and the elusive veins of the Great Dao disappeared with his retreat.

His Sacred Body was complete, and his gains from this were immense!

Not only had his speed of cultivation increased by 2.5 times compared to his Spiritual Body, but he had also grown closer to the Great Dao, which would lessen the impact of any Dao Calamities he might encounter in the future.

The benefits were endless!

In the Xuan Ding Secret Realm, the refined elder sensed the spread of the Spiritual Energy enveloping Yang Ji's palace and knew that his physique had undergone its transformation.

He immediately sent a message through the void, "Xiao Yang! It's such a pity, the old man from Myriad Tribulations is unwilling to trade the Time Stone with us; it seems your hope has come to naught."

"Unwilling to trade?" Yang Ji's expression shifted slightly as he stood up slowly and bowed in the direction of the Xuan Ding Secret Realm. "Since the old man from Myriad Tribulations is not willing to trade, it seems that the Time Stone is not destined for me. The elders needn't trouble themselves further."

"The old man from Myriad Tribulations raised the price outrageously, arrogantly demanding a hundred Flowers of Creation, clearly toying with us. It's just as well not to trade with him. But don't you lose heart. Our Xian Ding Sect has business dealings with many forces in the Myriad Realms. We shall seek out Time Stones and Space Stones for you.

Whether we can obtain them will depend on chance and fate!" the refined elder's message echoed.

"Disciple thanks the elder!" Yang Ji bowed deeply.

"Hmm! Focus on your cultivation!" The refined elder's voice gradually faded away.

"This old man from Myriad Tribulations is too much, asking for a hundred Flowers of Creation—a real Star Bandit, no different than a robbery," grumbled the Buddha Child, popping out and frowning.

"What's this about a hundred Flowers of Creation?" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, the space tore open, and it was Xuan Zhong stepping out casually, munching on a greasy chicken leg and pulling Shi Linger along.

"Brother, how did you get in here?" Yang Ji exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't panic! I've already greeted the five up there. You're my disciple; isn't it normal for me to come to see you?" Xuan Zhong said nonchalantly.

Yang Ji could only give a wry smile. His brother was so powerful he could go anywhere he wanted, simply tearing through space to enter another Sect's domain.

"Big brother, this is Yaksha meat I've cooked for you, try it!" Shi Linger said cheerfully, holding a soup pot out to Yang Ji.

"Yaksha meat? Is this..." Yang Ji's expression shifted slightly as he looked toward Xuan Zhong.

"Yes, this is that old Yaksha's meat. I camped out for a hundred years waiting for him to show up—what a waste of my time!" Xuan Zhong complained, biting viciously into his chicken leg.

"Brother, you really killed him? He was a top Mahayana, I'm afraid that may provoke retaliation from the forces behind him," said Yang Ji, his face changing with concern. He had thought Xuan Zhong was joking, but it seemed he really did kill that top Mahayana?

"No worries, no worries, rest easy. I'm not that foolish; otherwise, I wouldn't have waited for a hundred years—I would have just stormed in there and wrung his neck!" Xuan Zhong said with utter nonchalance.

Yang Ji looked more closely at Xuan Zhong, realizing that despite his brother's rough exterior, there was precision and cleverness in his actions. Otherwise, he wouldn't be respected by two Supreme Geniuses, Tian Wangli and Hao Yun.

It seemed he had worried too much. After all, his brother had been adventuring through the Myriad Realms for thousands of years, encountering more worlds and witnessing more of life than he ever had.

When it came to devious survival tactics, his brother was many levels above him.

With this thought, Yang Ji stopped worrying about Xuan Zhong.

"Disciple, what were you saying about a hundred Flowers of Creation just now? I saw you sighing over something!" Xuan Zhong asked, curious, as he settled down and continued gnawing on the chicken leg.

Yang Ji also sat down and shared the matter of the Time Stone and the old man from Myriad Tribulations with Xuan Zhong.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zhong's brow raised sharply, "That old ghost from Myriad Tribulations is taking advantage of a crisis. Back when I was roaming the starry skies, he once captured me to labor for him. I haven't even settled that account with him, and now he wants to bully my disciple!"

"It seems this Star Brigand King has been too comfortable in his role. No, no, we must settle new scores along with the old. We can't let him live an easy life! Disciple, let's go stir up some trouble for that old ghost!"

"...Stir up trouble?" Yang Ji was taken aback; the adversary was a Red Dust Immortal.

Xuan Zhong didn't explain further. Without hesitation, he grabbed the startled Yang Ji and tore through space, vanishing from the palace.

Racing across billions and billions of miles at extreme speed, when they reappeared, they were already in front of Starry Sky City.
