Cultivation: Fortune by Lots-Chapter 595 - 275. Stillness and Motion, a Fate Made by Heaven (Combined Chapter)_2
Her eyebrows and hair gradually returned to black, and she stood motionless in midair.
Xu Yuanzhen didn’t disturb her, waved her hand, and then returned to her own cave mansion, seemingly intending to continue refining the spiritual objects she had been working on.
After a while, Tang Xiaotang descended. Coming to her senses, she glanced around and, noticing Lei Jun still nearby, couldn’t help but curl her lips. "Don’t you open that venomous mouth of yours."
"I just wanted to remind Senior Sister that the new Lecture Ceremony is approaching."
Lei Jun spread his hands. "If you’re thinking of going into seclusion again, it wouldn’t be too late after you’ve presided over the ceremony."
Tang Xiaotang puffed her cheeks. "...I remember."
She seemed to suddenly realize something and looked at Lei Jun with a hint of suspicion.
"I was too excited when I first came out of seclusion and didn’t pay close attention. Looking at you now, you seem to have changed quite a bit compared to before?"
She had been in seclusion for a long time, out of touch with the outside world. Now, chatting with Lei Jun, she heard him mention the various changes in recent years. Her eyes widened. "I’ve missed out on so much excitement!"
Lei Jun replied, "It’s best to let such things unfold naturally."
What Tang Xiaotang was most concerned about was indeed Lei Jun’s recent improvement to his Root Bone. "Is it really the Dual Polarity Immortal Body?"
Lei Jun nodded. "Yes, it is."
Tang Xiaotang’s interest was piqued, and she circled Lei Jun twice. "Tell me in detail, in detail."
Lei Jun didn’t hide anything from her and provided further explanations.
Finally, a Tai Chi Diagram materialized behind him, with Dual Polarity rotating, half brilliant light and half deep shadow.
Tang Xiaotang watched with great interest, and a Tai Chi Diagram also appeared behind her, half transparent and half pure gold.
Their Tai Chi Diagrams reflected each other, and Tang Xiaotang nodded repeatedly.
She looked at Lei Jun before her with considerable emotion. "I admit, you really do have some serious dog’s luck."
Lei Jun said, "Little Senior Sister, you’ve been enjoying life for nearly forty years; I’ve only had two."
He then mentioned the matter of the Heavenly Palace Chapter Tablet, now complete again.
When Tang Xiaotang heard there was a chance to elevate one’s Comprehension from Serene Insight to Natural, her eyes lit up. "Oh? I’ll go take a look later."
Lei Jun explained, "Currently, it’s just a potential opportunity. Whether it can be truly realized depends on other fortuitous encounters in the future."
"I’ll try my luck. Even though your dog luck is heaven-defying, I still have to try." Tang Xiaotang laughed. "Luck is an unpredictable thing. If it ends up being yours, or someone else’s, that’s fine too. Who’s to say I won’t have other chances in the future?"
Her smile suddenly became a little more mysterious. "Besides, it’s not like I have no luck at all. If one door closes, another opens. Does Senior Sister [Xu Yuanzhen] really think her Natural Comprehension means she can rest easy? We’ll see about that!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Jun glanced at her thoughtfully.
Tang Xiaotang’s thoughts jumped, and she changed the subject as she spoke, muttering while walking, "Apart from Fu Dongsen, to think that Hong Jie, Wei Qiyue, and Wang Dongchu were all involved too... Mount Shu is truly..."
She clicked her tongue. "Back when I was in Jinzhou, I met Wei Qiyue once. I said at the time that I felt something was off about the people from Mount Shu, and it turns out this was it. But her intentions weren’t obvious back then, so I couldn’t say for sure she was up to no good."
Lei Jun nodded slightly.
When Tang Xiaotang had mentioned this before, Lei Jun guessed that Mount Shu was concerned about the supposed External Alchemy School expert who had secretly aided the Celestial Master Mansion during the battle at the Lin Clan Ancestral Land in Jiangzhou.
He believed that Wei Qiyue had indeed come for that very reason at the time.
It was just that she was deep and calculating, and at that time, she hadn’t shown any clear hostility towards Tang Xiaotang, so Tang Xiaotang’s perception of her wasn’t very clear.
"Has Chen Donglou really fallen?" Tang Xiaotang asked Lei Jun again. "And is the Ziwei Sword in the Earth Sea?"
Lei Jun replied, "According to the initial information from Elder Chen of Mount Shu, the Ziwei Sword was indeed in the Earth Sea, where the Jiuli People are active. However, so many years have passed, and whether that’s still the case needs further verification.
These past two years, I’ve also been busy with my own cultivation and plan to investigate further when an opportunity arises in the future. As for whether I can find the Ziwei Sword, that’s up to luck. If Little Senior Sister is interested, I can transfer the sword traces to you."
Tang Xiaotang said casually, "I’m a bit curious. I’ve never directly experienced the wonders of Mount Shu’s six great treasures, but I don’t have much inclination to go looking for them specifically. If you find it in the future, lend it to me for a look."
She raised her hand and flicked her fingers, revealing a sheet of Talisman Paper held between her index and middle fingers. "Recently, besides continuing to perfect the Divine Court Four Sceneries, my mind has mainly been on this."
Lei Jun glanced at it and understood. "A Pure Yang Talisman?"
Unlike his Xuánxiāo Five Thunder Talisman, which began with the Five Thunder Talisman, a Basic Spirit Talisman, and was gradually upgraded step by step.
Tang Xiaotang’s Tianhuang Pure Yang Talisman and Shenxiao Pure Yang Talisman were both talismans she only began to comprehend and create after reaching Upper Three Heavens cultivation.
The foundation lay in her Pure Yang Immortal Physique.
Therefore, if others wanted to try to comprehend and learn her self-created talismans, the difficulty would be extremely high.
In recent years, besides her cultivation, Tang Xiaotang has also been simplifying and reverse-engineering her Divine Faculty Talismans, hoping to leave a legacy for her Sect and contribute to the Celestial Master Mansion’s Talisman Sect archives.
Correspondingly, the difficulty in this regard would naturally be greater for her than for Lei Jun.
This was because Lei Jun’s talismans, unlike hers, did not originate from a special Root Bone Physique.
However, besides her innate Root Bone, Tang Xiaotang also possessed high Comprehension.
This Pure Yang Talisman in her hand was a preliminary result.
Although it was currently still a Basic Spirit Talisman, it was a good start.
If she continued, High-grade Spirit Talismans were likely not far off.
By then, the Talisman Scripture of the Celestial Master Mansion would include several more powerful Spirit Talismans.
