Chapter 140: The Sixth Immortal Vein
It rained for an entire day.
The diffusion of the Spirit Marrow would grant some aptitude for cultivation, but it would also bring about some inexplicable changes as well.
For instance, there were those who had been bedridden for years, only to be cured when exposed to the rain. There was also an old tree that had withered to death decades ago, but it began sprouting after the rain.
While Fang Chen was astral projecting, he heard Jade Fairy murmuring while looking at the sky, How interesting. Why would the sky suddenly darken in the middle of the day?
Upon hearing that, Fang Chen quickly returned to his body and pulled Jade Fairy out of the room to soak the rainwater. This perplexed Jade Fairy.
Is the sky still dark? Fang Chen asked.
It is. Jade Fairy nodded.
Do you see anything else other than that? Fang Chen asked.
Hmm The stars look exceptionally bright today, Jade Fairy remarked.
Stars? Fang Chen fell into deep thought.
This development threw his plans into disarray. That Liu cultivator said that renowned sects would send their elders into Great Xia to take in disciples. He didnt know whether it was a good thing or not if the Blood Spirit Cults Foundation Establishment cultivator arrived now.
Lets return to the Fang Manor, Fang Chen said.
In the Fang Manor, Li Daoye stood under the rain in a daze. He saw Fang Chen and Jade Fairy walking over, both basked under the rain as well, and he remarked with a frown, How intriguing. I sense something amiss about this rain, but I cant put my finger on it.
Its a spirit rain invoked by the diffusion of a Spirit Marrow, Fang Chen replied.
Spirit Marrow? Whats that? Li Daoye was confused. Clearly, he was not privy to knowledge about the Spirit Marrow.
This is good news for you. A large group of cultivators may soon arrive at Great Xia. You need to be prepared. There could be cultivators from your Eight Trigrams Sect too, Fang Chen said.
Li Daoye anxiously enquired more details about the matter, so Fang Chen told him about the background of the Spirit Marrow. He was overjoyed to hear about that.
Does that mean that my aptitude will rise because of this rain too? Hahaha! Young master Fang, it was the right decision for me to stay in Great Xias capital! Your Great Xia is indeed impressive to nurture a treasure of such caliber! I bet there used to be cultivators here in the distant past!
Li Daoye looked at the rain once more and remarked, This phenomenon will catch the attention of stronger experts as well. Sects stronger than the South Heaven Sect might be drawn here. The Blood Spirit Cult wouldnt dare to make a reckless move with so much attention on here.
The nearby civilians were shocked to see all kinds of peculiar individuals entering the city, and some had inexplicably ethereal dispositions that suggested that they were of lofty standing.
I never thought such a place could breed a Spirit Marrow. What a pity.
Nothing to pity. The likes of you and I cant hope to monopolize a Spirit Marrow. Its good that it nourished this place too. We might be able to find a couple of outstanding disciples for our sect.
Im saying this first. Daoist Crow, Immortal Aunt Firecloud, you better not steal my disciples.
What do you mean by steal? Well go by the usual rules. Our South Heaven Sect and Beast Spirit Valley shall host the event.
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man dressed in a scholarly robe. The surrounding spirit ki flowed with his movement, a phenomenon indicating that he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
It was just that ordinary people or those whose souls were weaker than his couldnt see it.
Elder Jinnan, you have to be fair then. You monopolized all of the talented ones back then in Infernoblaze. There was hardly any left for us, someone remarked with a frown.
Before Elder Jinnan could reply, another cold-faced woman who resembled an ordinary farm lady spoke up, Our Beast Spirit Valley and the South Heaven Sect have always been fair. The talents shall be shared equally between the northern region and the southern region.
That would be great. The crowd nodded.
Elder Jinnan suddenly chuckled. I believe one of our disciples was from here.
The crowd was surprised to hear that.
Just then, Xia Yun and his two juniors rushed over from a distance.
Elder Jinnan. The three of them respectfully greeted him.
Elder Jinnan nodded with a smile. Were you around when the Spirit Marrow emerged?
Yes, we were.
Thats good. Elder Jinnan nodded with a smile.
The surrounding cultivators looked at Jinnan in envy. Who could have thought three disciples from the South Heaven Sect would be here when the Spirit Marrow emerged?
They would have benefited from the spirit rain.
