Chapter 565: Unicolored Vital Qi
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“The Vital Qi is in that garden. However, there are very odd restrictive forces in there too. There are also some Puppet Monsters protecting the garden. Last time I was here I was unable to obtain the Vital Qi because there were three Puppet Monsters in the garden.”
Yin Banshuang told Mo Wen this a little helplessly. During her last visit, her cultivation was not as good as it was now. She knew she would be unable to defeat three Puppet Monsters so could only retreat.
“What abilities do those three Puppet Monsters have?” Mo Wen asked.
“There are two of them with rather strong cultivations; they are on a par with ancient martial art practitioners in the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. The last one didn’t take any action when I was last here and I still don’t know just how strong it is. However, I can sense that the last Puppet Monster is the strongest of the three. I just hope that it isn’t too powerful.”
This time, Yin Banshuang had some methods to defeat the more average Puppet Monsters. However, the one that she had not yet encountered was one that still made her feel like she was in danger: she could not gauge its abilities.
If that Puppet Monster was too powerful, she was afraid that this journey would be a failure once again.
“Let’s go over and have a look.” Mo wen nodded his head. No matter what they were facing, they would have to go over and take a look. No matter how dangerous it was, they could not retreat now.
Yin Banshuang instructed Mo Wen solemnly. “Follow me, I know a safe route into the garden that is free of dangers. You had better not walk too casually. Follow my every footstep.” There were many dilapidated traps in the garden. One wrong step and they would lose their lives.
On her previous visit, she had been extremely lucky to have been able to reach the place where the Vital Qi was. If she deviated just a little from her path, there was the possibility of death. Hence, she had committed the path that she had previously taken to memory.
The garden was a desolate scene. There was an abandoned pond and nursery and weeds were growing all over the ground. If not for the traces of the garden, nobody would have been able to tell that the place used to be a beautiful garden.
Following the path of Yin Banshuang was very safe indeed. However, there were a couple of moments where Mo Wen felt fear well up in his heart. He knew that in those moments, they had probably gotten really close to some traps and had most likely come close to falling into them. He had cultivated the Divine Soul Trillion layers, and hence had very astute senses. The traps were all invisible. If he was not careful, he could easily fall into them.
“Look over there!” Suddenly, Yin Banshuang pointed something out. Mo Wen looked over but could only see a dilapidated pond. It was about 30 meters in diameter and the water in it had long since dried up. However, above the pond, there was actually a blue colored mass of Qi. That mass of Qi could be seen with the naked eye. As it gathered together, the color was eye-catching and magnificent.
“Unicolored Vital Qi.” This time, even Mo Wen was surprised. His eyes were wide as he looked directly at that mass of Qi in mid-air. Subconsciously, he exhaled a cold breath of air.
A mass of colored Vital Qi was definitely not average Vital Qi. According to specifications from the world of Immortal Cultivation, normal Vital Qi was invisible and colorless. Those were the most primordial forms of Vital Qi. Then, after some special development, some Vital Qi would gradually develop color. A mass of colored Vital Qi was of a higher level. Its effects would be a hundred times better than normal Vital Qi.
Legend had it that there were nine colors of Vital Qi. The highest level of a mass of Vital Qi would have nine colors. However, the existence of the nine-colored Vital Qi mass was only a legend. Even Immortal Cultivators could not dream of possessing it, let alone an average person
Every added color to a mass of Vital Qi meant that it was a level higher. In the Divine Pill Sect that Mo Wen was in, it was rumored that there was only a mass of five-colored Vital Qi. It was the treasure of the sect and was much more valuable than a stalk of sacred medicine.
A unicolored mass of Vital Qi had an effect a hundred times stronger than normal Vital Qi. He had not expected that they would actually encounter such a treasure!
Average Vital Qi was already a priceless treasure in the eyes of an ancient martial art practitioner. It had the potential to alter a person’s abilities completely.
Even Mo Wen himself did not know the effects that a unicolored Vital Qi would have.
“Unicolored Vital Qi?” Yin Banshuang looked at Mo Wen in confusion. She did not know that there was a difference between normal Vital Qi and the colored Vital Qi. However, she could sense that Mo Wen had become insanely happy at the moment.
“This Vital Qi is not your average Vital Qi. If we can obtain it, it would be a life-changing affair.” Mo Wen looked at Yin Banshaung and tried to suppress his excitement. He did not intend to go into any details.
“Whatever Vital Qi it is, we will be splitting it in half. You don’t have any objections, right?” Yin Banshuang said serenely. From Mo Wen’s expression, she could tell that the mass of Vital Qi was probably exceptional. Although she did not know why he was so happy, it could only mean something good.
“Of course I have no objections.” Mo Wen smiled. As long as Yin Banshuang did not fall out with him, he would not fall out with her over a mass of Vital Qi. Although the unicolored Vital Qi was precious, half of it would be sufficient for him. Perhaps, it would even be more than enough.
“Alright then, however, those Puppet Monsters...” Yin Banshuang nodded her head and prepared to explain all about the Puppet Monsters to Mo Wen. They were hidden beneath the ground under the pond. The moment anyone got close to the pond, the Puppet Monsters would be triggered. Hence, they would only be able to obtain the mass of Vital Qi after defeating those three Puppet Monsters.
However, before she could even say her piece, a sound suddenly interrupted her words.
“A surprise, it’s such a surprise. It is actually a mass of Vital Qi! You guys are really my lucky stars.” A voice suddenly rang out, as if from a thousand meters away. Then they saw a person in blue appear not too far away from them. It was none other than Jin Ying.
Her entire face was filled with delight. She was looking at that mass of Vital Qi rather excitedly. She had not expected that she would encounter something like the Vital Qi in her lifetime.
With her identity, she naturally knew the value of the Vital Qi. To some people, the Vital Qi was not any less valuable than the spiritual fire. After all, not everyone was suited to the spiritual fire. Meanwhile, Vital Qi did not have any rejections and basically suited for everyone.
“It’s you.” Yin Banshuang’s eyes widened. She had not expected that Jin Ying would actually appear.”
“You have been well, I trust, since we parted.” Jin Ying’s mouth curled up into a smile.
“You followed us?” Yin Banshuang’s expression turned hostile as she looked at Jing Yin. The killing intent within her was strong and it had clearly been triggered it.
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly as well. This woman had actually followed them. She had followed them all the way and he had not even noticed. With his Soul Power, that would have been impossible under normal circumstances. Clearly, this woman had used some method to evade his detection.
“Whatever you say. Witnesses all get a share. I want half of that mass of Vital Qi, do you guys have any objections?” Jin Ying said calmly.
“You get half?” Yin Banshuang laughed. There were three people around and this woman actually dared to ask for half! She was very confident and fearless.
They did not even want to give her a single share, never mind half. Who could bear to share with others the duck that they had roasted themselves? Moreover, this was not a duck that they were talking about. Rather, it was the exceptionally precious Vital Qi.
