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 .

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “Tell the Yun Sect that my patience has its limits . I will have the sable magnolias no matter what . ”

When Hua Wudao heard this, he bowed and said, “I’ll mediate as best I can . I’ll return to you with an answer within a month . ”

“Alright . ”

A month was an acceptable duration for Lu Zhou .

Lu Zhou’s strength and cultivation base were relatively weak . If he did not have to earn merit points, he would have stayed on Golden Court Mountain and not leave . Recovering his cultivation base was his greatest priority .

If it had been Ji Tiandao, he would not have waited for a single day, let alone a month . Lu Zhou was different . He was not lacking in time .

…

A month passed by in a blink of an eye .

During the entire month, Lu Zhou spent his time disciplining his disciples and comprehending the Heavenly Writing . His accumulated merit points finally breached the 15,000 mark .

Within the great hall, Lu Zhou stared at his merit points on the system dashboard . He muttered hesitantly, “Should I buy an avatar or attempt lucky draws?”

If he attempted the lucky draws, there would be risks . If he purchased an avatar, he would spend all the merit points he had painstakingly saved . It made him feel insecure to not have any merit points at all .

After considering it for some time, Lu Zhou shook his head . He decided to make a decision after he earned more merit points . After all, he could buy the avatar at any time, and he was not experiencing any obstacles in his cultivation .

At this moment, Hua Wudao and Mingshi Yin walked into the great hall .

“Greetings, Pavilion Master . ”

“Greetings, master . ”

Lu Zhou’s gaze fell on Mingshi Yin and Hua Wudao . Hua Wudao’s cultivation base was in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm . Although he tried his best to conceal his aura, he could not fool Lu Zhou . When he recalled that Hua Wudao had gained the ninth script under Whitzard’s influence the other day, he asked, “Did you have a breakthrough?”

Hua Wuado was shocked . His eyes widened as he looked at Lu Zhou who was seated up high incredulously . He had been tending to his injuries every day throughout the past month . After battling the Ten Shamans, he fought Sword Saint Luo Shisan for a long time as well . Under Whizard’s auspicious Qi, the knot he had been suppressing for 20 years had been undone while his injuries healed . However, no one should know that he had sprouted another leaf . If he concealed his cultivation base, he should appear to be a Three or Four-leaf cultivator . He did not expect Lu Zhou to see through him so easily . How could he not feel shocked?

When Mingshi Yin, Duanmu Sheng, and Little Yuan’er heard this, expressions of shock appeared on their faces as well .

“Congratulations, Elder Hua!”

“Congratulations, Elder Hua!”

Duanmu Sheng was slightly envious . Nevertheless, he respected an expert like Hua Wudao . He cupped his fists and said, “Congratulations, Elder Hua . ”

Hua Wudao waved his hands and said, “Thank you all for your kind words… If it weren’t for Whitzard’s magic, I wouldn’t have been able to undo this knot that had been in my heart for 20 years . At the end of the day, I’d still have to thank the pavilion master for this . Pavilion Master, thank you . ” When he finished speaking, he kneeled respectfully .

Nobody stopped him .

In the Evil Sky Pavilion, Lu Zhou had every right to be thanked in this way by him . Perhaps, it was due to the length of time Lu Zhou had spent here after his transmigration, he had gotten used to being the Evil Sky Pavilion Master . For this reason, he was not flustered nor uncomfortable by Hua Wudao’s display of gratitude . He remained calm .

“Stand up and speak . ” Lu Zhou waved his arm calmly .

Hua Wudao stood up .

“Seven-leaf?” Lu Zhou asked .

The Eye of Truth merely revealed his realm . He could only gauge the number of leaves from his aura . Since he was certain that Hua Wudao had sprouted another leaf, he wanted to confirm it right now .

Hua Wudao nodded . His eyes suddenly brightened . “Hundred Tribulations Insight!”

A Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar that was seven feet tall appeared behind Hua Wudao . A spinning, seven-leaf Golden Lotus blossomed under its feet .

“Six Compatible Seal!”

Hua Wudao lowered himself into a stance . The Yin Yang trigram appeared under his feet . With its black and white halves, the Taiji Eight Trigrams was dazzlingly bright .

Shortly after, Heaven, Earth, Life, Death, Water, Fire, Being, Non-being, Separation…

The nine scripts rose and revolved around Hua Wudao .

The Nine Scripts Six Compatible Seal!

Mingshi Yin and Little Yuan’er were awestruck by this .

Duanmu Sheng, however, seemed excited . He was clearly itching to leap forward and spar with Hua Wudao at this moment . His grip on the Overlord Spear tightened .

“Third Senior Brother, you’ve been left in the dust…” Mingshi Yin said with a smile .

“Although Elder Hua has gained his seventh leaf, one day, I’ll be sure to break this Six Compatible Seal,” Duanmu Sheng said confidently .

“Don’t forget, you have the Overlord Spear with you, but Elder Hua has none . ”

“…” Talk about hitting where it hurts! Duanmu Sheng glared at Mingshi Yin . “Since the difference in strength between Elder Hua and I is so wide, I’ll have to trouble you to be my sparring partner for the following month, Fourth Junior Brother . ”

“Uh…” Mingshi Yin merely wanted to tease Duanmu Sheng . Who knew his mouth would bring calamity upon him? He was truly speechless .

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 . ”
