Chapter 144: Twitterpated Couple (III)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

At night, Luo Jianqing decided to gather some information about that Ding Hai Sect. Xuan Lingzi wanted to go with him. The disciple chuckled, “Master, it’s just a tiny little sect. There’s no need of your escort. I got this.”

Tilting his head, Xuan Lingzi faced his disciple, “Are you sure? Just a kind reminder that you don’t have any cultivation base right now.”

Luo Jianqing’s smile froze, “When did I ever lose my cultivation base?”

Lifting the corner of his mouth, Xuan Lingzi fixed his eyes on Luo Jianqing. “Right now.”

Trying to operate his Spiritual Power to prove him wrong, Luo Jianqing immediately realized that the Spiritual Power inside his body was locked at every single acupoint. They were unable to be operated, not to mention to use them for defense. The power which locked up his Spiritual Power wasn’t hurting him either, given the fact that it allowed Luo Jianqing to cultivate in order to gain Spiritual Power from the nature, as long as he was not trying to use these Spiritual Power.

Finally, Lou Jianqing figured out what was going on. Face darkening, he heard his Master saying, “Since you want to experience the life of a commoner, go ahead, try to really be like one. Jianqing, on this journey to the Northern Land of Arctic, I will constrain your Spiritual Power unless we are facing some serious danger. There is no way to ferry over the ocean when your boat is not even touching the sea. Now, here’s your boat.”

Hearing this, Luo Jianqing swallowed back his words of refutation.

Xuan Lingzi was right. The Northern Land of Arctic was a hundred thousand miles away from them. They had to cross the whole Fei Hua Sect and four or five commoner’s countries to get there. Using Spiritual Power could be counted as “cheating”. Now that his Master was here to constrain his cultivation base, Luo Jianqing actually had an advantage that others didn’t have.

Pondering for a while, Luo Jianqing nodded, and agreed with his Master’s decision.

Seeing his reaction, Xuan Lingzi relieved and then held Luo Jianqing’s hand. Fingers intertwined with his Master’s, Luo Jianqing looked back at Xuan Lingzi, slightly abstracted. Moonlight fell on Xuan Lingzi’s visage. Smiling, his Master never lost his charisma even after having the Disguise Pill.

“I will do it as well, constrain my Spiritual Power. Now we are just two commoners.”

Under the cover of a murky night, two dark figures were fliting in the town quietly. Feet gently tapping the ground, they were like two spirits, moving at a lightning speed like a waft of wind. No one could catch their figures.

Even though their Spiritual Power was constrained, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi’s strength was still out of reach of a commoner. Soon, they left the town which already fell asleep in serenity. Having gathered enough information in the day time, Luo Jianqing led his Master to the southeast.

They kept that speed for about thirty miles. Suddenly, Xuan Lingzi stopped Luo Jianqing, “There are some wards.”

Vigilantly, Luo Jianqing slowed down and concealed his presence.

Normally, cultivators at their level of cultivation would pay no attention to such small wards like these. The person who set up the wards wouldn’t notice anything even if they step right into the ward. This time, however, Xuan Lingzi bent down and picked up several pieces of stone.

Xuan Lingzi said, “Jianqing, you are not good at dissembling ward nor forging pills or items. Now that you have me to back you up, but I can’t stay by your side every single second. Today, what lay in front of us are a set of the simplest First-Level Ward. Try to dissemble it, to gain some experience on ward setting.”

Smiling, Luo Jianqing said yes.

The disciple would seldom wear black, but he did so today for their mission in the darkness. The garment in complete black gave Luo Jianqing’s skin a more pale-like lustrous color. Though after having the Disguise Pill, Luo Jianqing’s appearance was already worn down, he was still dazzling like a shining star, sparkling and elegant as always.

Under the moonlight, Luo Jianqing took steps carefully while putting down the peddles. Standing aside, Xuan Lingzi was watching him with a dreamy and distant gaze which was fulfilled with adoration.

What Luo Jianqing was doing was way more difficult than just dysfunctioning the ward. He needed to create an entrance for his Master and himself without notifying the change to the ward owner.

Xuan Lingzi was right. Luo Jianqing was not a very talented student speaking of Pill/Item forging or ward setting. In fact, however, nearly all of the famous cultivators in history had at least one specialty. For instance, Xuan Lingzi was very good at pill forging while the Fiend Exalt was a pro-item forger. Though they were not one of the best Pill Forger or Item Forger, they made their names a famous one in the forging field.

Moreover, there was one more thing Xuan Lingzi didn’t point out but Luo Jianqing knew all the time, shamefacedly: every single Peak Master of Yu Xiao Peak mastered all the skills a cultivator was capable of!

Pill forging, item forging, ward setting, talisman drawing…

They were good at anything you could ever think of! Compared with his Master who was a representative of perfection, Luo Jianqing still had so much more to learn…

45 minutes later, Luo Jianqing put the last piece of stone at the right place and heard a small tinkling sound of accordance. Beaming brightly, Luo Jianqing turned back to look at his Master, “I made it!”

Stepping into the ward, Xuan Lingzi commented, “Spent longer than I thought. Continue.”

Surprised, Luo Jianqing asked, “Continue to do what?”

Holding his disciple’s hand, Xuan Lingzi led Luo Jianqing to move forward. One mile later, the Master stopped and picked some stone from the ground. Turning back to face his disciple, he smiled, “Jianqing, get back to work.”

Luo Jianqing, “…”

Therefore, Luo Jianqing spent the whole night bending down to dissemble wards, assiduously. Although he was not very good at it, the wards that were set by Ding Hai Sect was way too simple. Calling them as “First-Level Ward” would be humiliating this elementary level. Eight wards were dissembled by Luo Jianqing without using a trace of Spiritual Power. Stone was enough.

Finishing off the last ward, Luo Jianqing looked askance at Xuan Lingzi, “Master, you are fooling me around.”

Xuan Lingzi looked back in astonishment, “…?”

Luo Jianqing snorted, “I will have you pay for tonight.”

Xuan Lingzi, “…”

Wait, something went wrong with my disciple…

They moved forward. A few miles later, they saw a small hill on which several houses were built. Sensingsomething, Luo Jianqing tilted his head and met Xuan Lingzi’s eyes in the air, “How come not even a Foundation-Establishment-Period cultivator is here?!”

Xuan Lingzi gradually became serious, “Three Ninth-level Qi Condensation Period, one Sixth-level, and… nine low-level Qi Condensation Period cultivators.”

Though Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi concealed their cultivation base, noticing their presence was still impossible for these elementary-level cultivators. On the contrary, the Master and disciple detected their level of cultivation at once. Luo Jianqing asked Xuan Lingzi quizzically, “I never heard of such thing as a cultivator with lower than Gold Core Period cultivation could occupy a peak and initiate a sect. Why were they not merged by other sects?”

Frowning, Xuan Lingzi pondered for a moment, without answering his question.

Secretly, they climbed on the peak that Ding Hai Sect located. Walking right through the gate, they were surprised that nobody even noticed their entrance. Followed by Xuan Lingzi, Luo Jianqing got to the house closest to the gate. Before they took any action, the pair of Master and disciple heard a lewd moan.

“Master, hah… harder… Ngh… Master… Master, I can’t… Aah… Stop… Aaah!”

“Cutie little slut, tonight, I will have you cry and beg for me.”

Luo Jianqing, “…”

Xuan Lingzi, “…”
