Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 404 - 224: Zhuo Canglang: What did I do wrong? I just want to know why you’re still not dead! (5600 words)_1
Practicing the Imperial Scriptures was no easy task. Even though Wang Xiu had laid out the path for the Snow Ancestor, it would still take her some time to truly begin. Luckily, Wang Xiu wasn’t in a hurry and began cultivating in the valley. While comprehending the Daoist Text within the Heavenly Book, he simultaneously increased his Cultivation Level.
Over these past few days, Wang Xiu had received quite a bit of praise. His Cultivation Level skyrocketed, especially when the Snow Ancestor was around, as she guaranteed both quality and quantity. She alone was worth three or four Saints.
「Several days later,」
A violent surge erupted from Wang Xiu’s aura. Runes swirled around his body, brilliant radiance erupted, and a mist of rosy clouds enveloped him. His Twelve-color Nascent Soul was like a peculiar treasure of heaven and earth, radiating a magnificent divine light.
Seventh Heaven of the Nascent Soul Realm! He had officially entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
All in all, it had only been just over a year since Wang Xiu’s breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm. This pace was simply astonishing. If word got out, countless prodigies would die of shame.
He spent a few more days stabilizing his Cultivation Level.
Finally, on this day, an imposing aura emanated from the room in the small courtyard. A rich azure light covered the sky and earth, obscuring the wind and snow. A boundless wave of Life Essence came rolling in like the river tide.
The Snow Ancestor appeared in midair, her body glowing as her azure hair danced in the wind. She was graceful and beautiful, with stunning curves that exuded a radiance like precious treasure, making one’s breath quicken. With her long legs, she slowly stepped forward. Opening her arms, the omnipresent Life Essence swept back toward her, shrouding her in a layer of divine light.
"Ah, this is delightful. It’s been so long since I’ve felt this fulfilled!" the Snow Ancestor said, her face full of enjoyment, her stunning visage luminous. She came before Wang Xiu, confident and composed. "Tell me, what do you want? As long as I can do it, anything is possible!"
Originally, she and Zhuo Canglang had agreed to transfer all her vital essence to Wang Xiu to help his cultivation path flow more smoothly and speed up his growth. But now, not only did she not have to die, but she also owed Wang Xiu an enormous favor. She owed him not just her life, but also the true teachings of the Imperial Scriptures! The debt was far too great. Even with her status and identity, she couldn’t immediately think of a way to repay it.
"Actually, there’s no need to be so hasty. We can talk about it another time!" Wang Xiu said somewhat bashfully, looking toward the nearby lake.
"You don’t need to be shy. I owe you an enormous karmic debt, and I always repay what I owe!" the Snow Ancestor stared at Wang Xiu seriously, assuming he was too embarrassed to state his request.
Wang Xiu remained silent, his eyes fixed elsewhere.
"Why do you keep looking away? What’s over there?" The Snow Ancestor arched an eyebrow, following his gaze to the calm surface of the water and a few fallen petals.
"Senior, you forgot to put on clothes!" Wang Xiu said helplessly, deciding to be direct.
At this, the air suddenly went still.
The Snow Ancestor looked down at her current state and wanted nothing more than to dive right into the water. No wonder it feels unusually cool today! She hadn’t taken off her clothes in thousands of years; how could she possibly have the habit of putting them on?
Her cheeks turned bright red instantly, and a blush spread to her earlobes, which even her snow-white hair couldn’t hide.
"Making such a fuss. A grown man, being so squeamish!" she snorted coldly. Her body felt limp and feverish all over, but her words remained defiant.
With a stomp of her foot, a wave of icy frost swept through the air, settling on her and forming a snow-white robe that concealed her perfect figure.
"Now, can we talk?"
"Anything is possible?" Wang Xiu asked cautiously.
"Of course!" The Snow Ancestor was confident. With her strength, and now that her longevity problem was solved, she believed that even the rarest things were obtainable if she put her mind to it.
[DING!]
[Someone has been detected bragging nearby. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining +6,666 Mana!]
"Then I want an Emperor Armament!" Wang Xiu said plainly, his eyes twinkling.
The Snow Ancestor was instantly silent, clenching her silver teeth. "Are you joking with me?"
What is an Emperor Armament? It’s a Magical Treasure left behind by a Great Emperor, containing unimaginable and terrifying power capable of slaying immortals and gods. In some ways, they are even rarer than the Imperial Scriptures. After all, the Imperial Scriptures can be passed down to many, but there are only a handful of Emperor Armaments.
"Didn’t you say anything was possible?" Wang Xiu pouted.
"The entire Nanzhou might not even have one. Even if one exists, it would be the heirloom treasure of some ancient power. Where am I supposed to find an Emperor Armament for you?" The Snow Ancestor felt a tightness in her chest, her bosom heaving with anger.
"Then I want an Immortal Elixir!" Wang Xiu said, lowering his request.
The Snow Ancestor fell silent again. Her fists were clenched tight, her delicate body trembling.
"No way, no way... Senior, you don’t even have one of those?" Wang Xiu feigned shock, making the Snow Ancestor even more uncomfortable.
This brat, does he think Immortal Elixirs grow on trees? Those are Precious Medicines containing immortal power, possessing supreme efficacy that can turn the rotten into the miraculous, seizing Creation from heaven and earth. In a place like the Cangyuan Realm, with its limited density of spiritual energy, nurturing an Immortal Elixir is incredibly difficult. As soon as one appears, it’s furiously fought over by all the ancient orthodoxies!
"I don’t have one! Pick something else!" the Snow Ancestor said, suppressing her anger.
"Something else..." Wang Xiu pondered.
What is he really lacking right now? Cultivation methods? He’s already maxed those out. Elixirs? His Space Ring is still full of unprocessed Spirit Treasure Elixirs, and he hasn’t even used the Holy Medicine, the Dragon Transformation Grass, yet! Weapons? The Asura Heaven Punishment Sword is already a Holy Artifact and has growth potential. It should be enough for a long time. Wait! That’s it!
"Then, I want a suit of Saint Artifact Armor!" Wang Xiu finally realized.
His current physical toughness was very high. He could clash head-on with a Soul Travel Great Ability. He also had armor protecting his body during combat. Normally, he wouldn’t get hurt much, but if someone could actually breach his defenses, it would pose a lethal threat.
Although that Ancient Dragon Inverse Scale could occasionally serve as a defensive treasure, it had proven its worth. When Wang Xiu had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm, it had been able to block an enraged strike from a Saint Manifestation expert.
