CHAPTER 210: 209, WHEN I HAVEN’T BEEN HERE (4/4)

Yes, that’s right!

He understood every word on the wall because it was the same script his mother used to write prescriptions when he was little.

He was so familiar with this script that it couldn’t be more familiar to him. His mother also taught him that this script is called Dragon Wall Text, a special script used to gather the spiritual energy of celestial materials and earthly treasures.

"Indeed!"

Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, the seductive woman smiled.

Although he didn’t know Wen Ping’s background, he could sense that Wen Ping was a knowledgeable person. Wen Ping’s ability to recognize the Dragon Wall Text at a glance suggested that what he said earlier might also be true.

For instance, how the Thunder Pool blocks one’s path in the Profound Realm.

Or how Ironman might turn disciples into waste.

Even though it seemed a bit far-fetched upon reflection, she was certain that the person named Wen Ping in front of her must have his reasons.

At this moment, Bai Peng was quite surprised, but seeing the seductive woman’s expression, he didn’t have time to ponder why Wen Ping understood this. He hurriedly said to the seductive woman, "This Spirit Gathering Array was left behind by a truly great figure. Cultivating here can triple the speed of cultivation."

"Indeed, with this Resonant House, your Extreme Realm Mountain truly has the qualification to collaborate with our Mitian Sect."

Upon hearing the seductive woman’s words, Bai Peng revealed a rare smile of satisfaction.

The seductive woman’s smile grew at the corner of her mouth, displaying a charm beyond surface appearances, radiating a special allure with every move. Although Bai Peng was not young, he couldn’t help but be entranced by her.

The seductive woman naturally didn’t care about these things; her thoughts were solely on cultivating in this Resonant House in the future.

Time has always been the most precious thing.

Everyone wants to seize it.

Everyone wants to hold onto it tightly.

Yet, no matter how great one’s abilities may be, time cannot be captured. One can only drift with the flow of time.

When the day comes that time leaves, it is also the moment when a person falls.

Cultivating in the Resonant House might be called seizing time because during one hour of cultivation here, you can obtain what others get in three hours. It’s equivalent to living much more time than others.

Yet, when she instinctively glanced at Wen Ping, she saw that Wen Ping was wholly indifferent, as if he was uninterested in the Resonant House. It was only then that the seductive woman remembered that this guy was someone adept at finding fault.

"Sect Leader Wen, have you discovered anything else?"

Wen Ping responded with a smile, "I must say, the existence of this Spirit Gathering Array is far better than the outside Thunder Pool. It triples the cultivation speed without side effects or hidden dangers. You could say this is the only perfect cultivation area in Extreme Realm Mountain."

Bai Peng’s smile began to spread!

But the next moment, it abruptly halted.

"Unfortunately, the initial purpose for which the senior built it was not for cultivation, as it wasn’t meant to serve as a cultivation aid," Wen Ping said casually.

When Bai Peng’s expression turned rigid, he glared at Wen Ping, but with the seductive woman there, he couldn’t act.

This Resonant House signifies a stunning achievement.

Since it was first opened by them two hundred years ago, it has continuously provided enormous cultivation enhancements to the Profound Realm and elite disciples. Cultivating within it for one day is equivalent to three days outside.

Wen Ping seemed not to notice Bai Peng’s expression, continuing, "It’s never meant to be a cultivation aid, yet it was used for cultivation. The visible effects aren’t surprising, yet there’s one point that’s overlooked: the Spirit Gathering Array draws spiritual energy, while human cultivation, starting with Body Refining Realm, chooses Heaven and Earth Qi, and why refine further with Vein Qi instead of choosing the unique spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth?"

"Why?" the seductive woman asked.

"I presume you didn’t know this was a Spirit Gathering Array, so you kept cultivating in it without restraint. Haven’t you noticed that Fengyuan City hasn’t produced any celestial materials or treasures for a long time? As for when the spiritual energy of this entire sky is depleted, I guess you can bear the cost, so let’s leave it unsaid."

After Wen Ping spoke, he smiled contentedly and turned to leave.

As for the price he understood, that meant the spiritual energy would be depleted, and within a thousand miles of Extreme Realm Mountain, not a blade of grass would grow.

At that point, Extreme Realm Mountain would become a barren land. The Extreme Border Grassland would officially be renamed the Extreme Realm Desert. To restore the spiritual energy of this land to its oasis form and grow celestial materials and treasures again, it would take at least ten thousand years!

At this moment, Bai Peng glanced at the seductive woman, then shouted furiously, "Boy, don’t spout nonsense here,"

"Fine, even if I’m babbling, you just pretend I was never here. I came only to find the bones in this big egg of Extreme Realm Mountain. Now that I’ve picked out the bones, I should be on my way."

With that, Wen Ping sped up his pace, and the Mountain Dog followed him, step by step, toward the direction of the Thunder Pool.

Watching Wen Ping walk away, Bai Peng, although angry, felt it would be better to discuss with the seductive woman from the Three-star Sect first. But he also made up his mind not to let Wen Ping leave Extreme Realm Mountain!

Deliberately came to Extreme Realm Mountain to pick bones?

This Wen Ping is really becoming bolder.

Conveniently, killing Wen Ping would yield 50 White Crystals.

Bai Peng said to the seductive woman, "Ladies, you don’t believe that immature boy’s words are true, do you? Actually, he’s just a sect leader from a Starless Sect, usually very arrogant. These words must be lies, a deliberate plot to thwart Extreme Realm Mountain’s collaboration with your esteemed sect."

The seductive woman retorted, "A Starless Sect with a Profound Realm sitting in charge?"

Bai Peng was left speechless.

The seductive woman continued, "Alright, there won’t be any issues with the cooperation. However, regarding this Resonant House, do you have any rules? If not, after the Ten Talents Trial, our sect will send disciples to Extreme Realm Mountain for exchange and learning."

Hearing these words, Bai Peng was immediately pleased. He thought that being told off by Wen Ping would have disturbed the seductive woman’s perception of Extreme Realm Mountain.

Now it seemed, Wen Ping’s words weren’t believed by him, and neither were they believed by the seductive woman.

Bai Peng promptly said, "Of course, we always welcome the disciples of your esteemed sect."

The seductive woman nodded and turned her gaze to Wen Ping, continuing to ask, "I’m just curious, what kind of person is this Wen Ping? Though I’m Middle Profound Realm, I can’t see through his cultivation realm, which shouldn’t be the case."

"Wen Ping?"

Bai Peng’s lips curled with a faint smile as he said, "Just a fallen Young Sect Leader from a Two-star Sect. He probably has some celestial materials or treasures that conceal cultivation realm, so it’s normal that you can’t detect his realm. Given his age, he should be no more than the tenth level of Body Refinement, nothing worth mentioning!"

"I don’t think so; someone from Middle Profound Realm is willing to assist him, and someone from Lower Profound Realm is willing to risk their lives for him. Recognizing Dragon Wall Text and Thunder Eel at a glance—things rarely seen in East Lake," the seductive woman blinked with interest, "seems this young man’s not so simple."

...

At this moment, Wen Ping had already reached the Thunder Pool when the system’s voice appeared at his ear.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the side task of finding ten deficiencies in Extreme Realm Mountain, reward: Two Ten Talents Tokens."

"Would you like to claim them?"
