I Have A Special Cultivation Talent-Chapter 30 - The Robe and The Sword

Looking at this spacious side residence, Chen Jingzhai’s face lit up with a smile.

After eight years as an aspirant cultivator, he finally joined the clan and began his quest to seek the Way to become an immortal!

All the pressure, fear, anxiety, and other emotions that he felt inside had disappeared at that very moment. This was good; in fact, it was terrific!

He laid himself down on the wooden bed, not doing or thinking about anything else. Peacefully, he fell into a slumber.

Meanwhile, in the side residence, the formation was activated automatically. The wind from the mountain did not affect it, and no falling leaves could enter. Thus, it remained clean and free of contamination.

Chen Jingzhai didn’t wake up until the next day. He got up lazily, stretching satisfactorily. He felt well-rested.

“My Lord, Pearl is here to bring you something!” A child’s voice announced from outside the door.

“Just come in!” Chen Jingzhai said with a smile.

“Alrighty!” Pearl walked in childishly with her short, little steps.

She held a food box in her left hand and a robe and a sword in her right.

“What is this?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“The master asked me to get the robe from Tianbao Temple. Because it was the first time a male disciple joined Hongluan Peak, this was a special rush order. These two are magic treasures!” Pearl laughed heartily.

“Magic treasures?” Chen Jingzhai was surprised.

“Because my Lord is the direct disciple and one from the hidden branch, even though you have not started cultivating yet, some things must be supplied.” Pearl put those items on the table and continued, “Besides these two magic treasures, there is also a storage bag for you, containing 12,000 pieces of spiritual stones for the next ten years.”

Chen Jingzhai looked at the robe and sword magic treasures and the palm-sized storage bag, and he was pretty impressed. The clan was worthy of its reputation, after all. Ordinary measures could not fathom the magnitude of its endowment.

Even at the Aspirant Cultivators Academy, Chancellor Ge Hongru, who was in the Foundation Establishment Plane, had one hundred spiritual stones for the entire year. There were no magic treasures in his possession.

“And what is this?” Chen Jingzhai asked, pointing to the box of food.

“Because my Lord has not cultivated and is temporarily unable to fast, the master asked me to go to the Handy Peak and get a healing meal for you,” Pearl said as she tilted her head. “The master said that this is enough food to last for ten days. As soon as you finish your meal, you should choose what kind of methods you wish to cultivate.”

“Got it!” Chen Jingzhai patted her head and said, “Thank senior sister for me.”

“Okie dokie!” Pearl said, enjoying his appreciation.

Chen Jingzhai sat down and opened the food box as a pungent aroma wafted out.

“It smells so good!” Chen Jingzhai couldn’t help but exclaim.

All he ever ate in the Aspirant Cultivators Academy was ordinary food for mortals. Although the meal was well-balanced, it was no comparison to the clan’s healing meals. Even just the rich aroma alone was indescribable. After sleeping for a whole day, Chen Jingzhai was not that hungry.

Although he had lost his cultivation, his Mystery Gate was wide open, and the meridians of his whole body were well lubricated. Even when he was sleeping, a large amount of essence power entered his body between breaths.

In total, from the time he participated in the test of the twenty-eighth until this moment, two days and two nights had passed. Thus, he had no sense of hunger. On the contrary, he felt he was full of energy. Even so, Chen Jingzhai didn’t want to waste the good intentions behind it and prepared to start eating immediately. But his sensitive ears heard the sound of someone swallowing.

Chen Jingzhai smiled lightly and said, “Pearl, come eat with me. It’s no fun for me to eat alone.”

“Do you mean it?” Pearl said a little shyly.

“Yes, of course!” Chen Jingzhai smiled as he took out the bowls and chopsticks.

Pearl immediately jumped onto the stool and said, “Then I will go ahead and eat. Thank you, sir!”

“You can eat, but tell me about Handy Peak!” Chen Jingzhai said.

“What is there to say about Handy Peak?” Pearl replied. “They are all people who have no qualifications but wanted to enter the clan. Or, they are people who have some blood relationship with the Sages of various peaks. They handle miscellaneous tasks as a form of cultivation at Handy Peak, and if they can successfully establish a foundation, they may become casual disciples.”

“They can only become casual disciples if they establish a foundation?” Chen Jingzhai was quite surprised by this revelation.

“Exactly,” Pearl said while eating. “They couldn’t pass the heart test, so they are not worthy of any attention. But the immortals valued all lives, so the clan allowed them to prove themselves.”

“Where is Handy Peak?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“It’s far,” said Pearl. “It’s west of Luanyun Mountain Range, close to the towns of mortal men. The distance from Hongluan Peak to Handy Peak is equivalent to crossing the entire Luanyun Mountain Range!”

“That far?” Chen Jingzhai raised his eyebrows. “So it must be hard work for Pearl!”

“Hahahahaha!” Pearl laughed without saying a word and lowered her head to continue eating.

Chen Jingzhai did not eat much, as he only tasted the food.

He had an excellent temperament and, naturally, was not one who received satisfaction from food. Besides, he would usually not overeat before he began cultivating.

This healing meal was equivalent to a panacea for mere mortals.

But for Chen Jingzhai, it was not helpful. Overeating was not conducive to maintaining the purity of his body. Most of the healing meal had gone inside Pearl’s belly, and she looked a little embarrassed.

After that, Chen Jingzhai rested before he dripped his blood on the magic treasures to claim them in front of Pearl. This characteristic was particular to magic treasures, and was equivalent to preliminary processing.

If it was a spiritual item, it must be branded with one’s mark before it can be processed. Both magic treasures were ranked Grade Three, which was exceptionally precious. Even ordinary Golden Core Sages did not necessarily have them!

The robe was a Preliminary Grade Three magic treasure, with a Hongluan celestial bird embroidered on the back and a bright moon icon on the chest. It was black with blue facing and red borders, and looked very luxurious. It was also very fitting and comfortable.

The sword was an Intermediate Grade Three magic treasure, forged from the five elements and with a handsome sheath. The blade had five sections, similar to bamboo knots. The sword’s body was slender, and the hilt had a snug fit and was azure blue.

Chen Jingzhai named it the Five Bamboo Sword.

Having processed both magic treasures, they were taken into his body. Now, they could be easily accessed at a moment’s notice, with a turn of his thoughts.

As for the storage bag, it was not so easy to process. Blood was not enough; it needed to be branded with the mark urged by the spiritual power of consciousness. At that time, Chen Jingzhai had no cultivation, and it was not easy for him to process in this manner.

With Pearl’s help, Chen Jingzhai managed to draw out his consciousness and get him to open the storage bag, but it consumed a great deal of physical strength each time.

After trying it once, Chen Jingzhai did not continue. He put the storage bag away and took Pearl to Tianzhu Peak.

Outside the side residence, Pearl blew out a puff of air. A white cloud came into being beneath the feet of Chen Jingzhai and waited for Pearl to come over for the lead. The white cloud held them up and they flew into the air.

“Nice trick! Pearl, what kind of spell is this?” Chen Jingzhai was very interested in it.

“It’s not a spell but a derivation of my spiritual power,” Pearl said.

“...” Chen Jingzhai was a little taken back, but he was also stunned.

So this was not a spell. No wonder her exceptional talent was not triggered.

The cloud took the two of them and flew toward Tianzhu Peak leisurely. Tianzhu Peak was south of Ancestral Peak, and it was not all that close.

Although Pearl was a child, she was considerate. She only sped up when Chen Jingzhai had gotten used to it. It took 10 minutes before the white cloud floated over Tianzhu Peak. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Chen Jingzhai had only heard of the name Tianzhu Peak before, and this was the first time he had seen the place.

He felt that the name described the place quite well. The peak, the name of which means heavenly pillar, was straight as it towered into the clouds, just like a pillar. There were no protruding rocks, nor were there any other cave residences or side residences that could be seen.

On the top of Tianzhu Peak, there was only a complex of palaces. Pearl pressed down on the head of the cloud and landed outside the courts.

“My lord, go with the token. I can only wait here,” she said.

“All right,” Chen Jingzhai said, taking out the token. “But don’t go far, or I won’t be able to get back.”

“I got it!” Pearl replied readily.

Chen Jingzhai smiled and patted her head again before moving forward.
