Chapter 173 - Seven-leaf Hua Wudao, Nine Scripts Six Compatible Seal
“To open up a person’s sea of Qi,” Lu Zhou answered honestly.
Lu Zhou’s honesty took Hua Wudao slightly aback.
Hua Wudao sighed and shook his head. “To tell you the truth, the Yun Sect only has one sable magnolia. We’ll need at least two magnolias to open up a person’s sea of Qi. Sable magnolias are extremely rare. There are not more than five in Great Yan. It won’t be enough with just one.”
No matter whose sea of Qi had to be opened, they would need at least two sable magnolias.
“That’s why… I need two.”
“…”
Lu Zhou’s words were direct and frank.
“This is extremely important. I’ve sent word to the Yun Sect’s elders. They will discuss this soon,” Hua Wudao said.
Hua Wudao shook his head and said, “Although Duanmu Sheng only has two leaves, he’s capable of going up against Four and even Five-leaf opponents. He’s far more talented than I am. Youth is wealth as they say. I’ve only managed to gain another leaf after 20 years… I think Duanmu Sheng will surpass me in a few years. There’s no need to doubt that.” Who knew if his words were just flattery? However, it was definitely pleasing to the ears.
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Sheng had a proud expression etched on his face.
“Elder Hua, I didn’t expect you to think so highly of Duanmu Sheng.” Lu Zhou was surprised. In his opinion, among his disciples, Duanmu Sheng was the least talented and had the worst insight. He had attributed Duanmu Sheng’s huge improvement to being freed from Ji Tiandao’s suppression.
It had to be mentioned that Mingshi Yin had entered the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm a long time ago. Lu Zhou suspected the rascal, Mingshi Yin, was concealing his strength on purpose again. Perhaps, he had already sprouted two or three leaves.
Hua Wudao nodded. “I frequently spar with Duanmu Sheng. His fighting style is tough and enduring. His attacks are forceful and decisive. I’ve never met such an opponent before.”
Duanmu Sheng was starting to feel embarrassed by all the compliments. He cupped his fists and said, “You’re too kind, Elder Hua.”
When she saw everyone’s cultivation base making steady progress, Little Yuan’er pouted. She felt slightly annoyed. However, without a sea of Qi, she could not enter the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.
Against a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator, the Divine Court realm and below were as insignificant as ants. Regardless of how powerful she was as a Divine Court realm cultivator, she could never defeat a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator. To a certain extent, the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm was the true beginning of one’s cultivation path.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and said, “Back to the main topic.”
Hua Wudao waved his hand. His Hundred Tribulations Insight and Six Compatible Seal disappeared.
Fortunately, Hua Wudao did not request for a sparring session right there and then. Lu Zhou was not sure if he was supposed to use a Thunderblast Card under those circumstances. It would be a great loss if he accidentally killed this powerful subordinate of his.
Hua Wudao said, “The Yun Sect has written back yesterday. They are willing to exchange the sable magnolia for Ding Fanqiu.”
