Chapter 17

n

n

nCompared to the huge Empyrean Sword Sect more than three thousand mils away, Qingshan Town was just an inconspicuous small town.

n

nThe sun was rising, bathing the land in its rays.

n

nA beggar covered in frostbite sat at the gate of the dilapidated temple. His clothes were tattered and his entire body emitted a sour smell. He scratched his hair that had not been washed for a long period of time.

n

nHe looked worse than any other beggar.

n

nHowever, if anyone could get close enough to look closely into his eyes, they would find a sense of authority that encompassed everything.

n

nThe beggar was not as simple as he looked.

n

nHe was Murong Xuan, the Deputy Mountain Lord of the Taichu Mountain, one of the top 10 sects in the entire Fantasy Continent.

n

nHis cultivation had long reached the terrifying True Emperor Realm.

n

nIt could be said that in this fantasy world, Murong Xuan was ranked at the top in terms of status and strength.

n

nHowever, with such terrifying strength and noble status, he had an unknown quirk.

n

nWhen he was young, he came from a poor family.

n

nOn the path of cultivation, he had obtained the help of a benefactor which led him to his current achievements.

n

nTherefore, in his free time, Murong Xuan would disguise as a beggar covered in sores, and roam around in an inconspicuous town.

n

nIf someone helped him sincerely, even though he had transformed into a beggar, he would give that person a supreme opportunity.

n

n“Please, kind sir, give me something to eat. I haven’t eaten for days.”

n

nMurong Xuan hugged the legs of a passerby and pretended to beg.

n

n“Get lost! Stinky beggar, if you want to die, get lost! Don’t infect me with your rotten sores!”

n

nA passerby kicked him away and cursed.

n

nAfter being kicked by a mortal, Murong Xuan was neither sad nor happy.

n

nHowever, he thought to himself, This person has no opportunity.

n

nFinding good people and giving them opportunities gave Murong Xuan joy.

n

nIt was one of his joys to transform into a beggar at the bottom of the hierarchy and experience the coldness and warmth of the world.

n

nAt this moment, the fragrance of steamed buns wafted into Murong Xuan’s nose.

n

n“Eat this.”

n

nLooking up, he saw Shen Ran’s eyes filled with pity.

n

n“Your sores look so bad. If you don’t treat them soon, I’m afraid you won’t survive the coming winter.”

n

nMurong Xuan took the steamed bun. Shen Ran took out a few coins and handed them to him.

n

n“Take this money to buy some medicine.”

n

n“Thank you, kind master.”

n

nMurong Xuan grabbed the steamed buns and coins and thanked Shen Ran feelingly.

n

nShen Ran shook his head gently and turned to leave.

n

nAt the same time, he sighed. “It’s not easy to survive in this world.”

n

nShen Ran was also lamenting in his heart, Could it be that it’s not the ninth day of the first lunar month today? Did I remember the wrong day? This is already the eleventh beggar I saved. Why haven’t I met the person in the narrative who can give me an opportunity after the good deed?

n

n“Young man, please wait!”

n

nAt that moment, the river of time seemed to stop flowing.

n

nAll the sounds in the world disappeared.

n

nThe wind stopped. On the road, passersby stopped in mid-step.

n

nAn extremely dignified voice sounded behind Shen Ran.

n

n“Here we go!”

n

nShen Ran suppressed his excitement and slowly turned around.

n

nThe beggar who was sitting on the ground with rotten sores all over his body had disappeared.

n

nIn its place was a tall figure covered in resplendent colors. Just by standing there, he was illuminated by divine light and surrounded by various phenomena like fairies reciting poems.

n

nThat person’s expression was calm, but he had a dignified aura.

n

nI’m nowhere near him now!

n

nAs soon as his gaze rested on this person, this thought appeared in Shen Ran’s mind.

n

nHe had obtained all kinds of talents and the Azure Supreme Thearch inheritance. He felt his narrative becoming real.

n

n“I am the Heavenly Venerate, Immeasurable Fortune.”

n

nMurong Xuan spoke slowly, his voice as loud as the nine heavens.

n

nHis words suddenly sounded in his ears. Shen Ran felt enlightened and hurriedly bowed respectfully. “Greetings, True Emperor. I’m Shen Ran!”

n

nHe’s actually a True Emperor Realm expert!

n

nMurong Xuan’s short words stirred up a storm in Shen Ran’s heart.

n

nOne had to know that other than the Azure Supreme who had once reached the half-step Great Freedom Realm, the True Emperor Realm was the peak of all cultivators!

n

nEvery True Emperor Realm expert was the top of the world!

n

nShen Ran must not be in the least bit careless in his attitude.

n

nSeeing that Shen Ran was so humble, Murong Xuan nodded slightly. “Shen Ran, I see that you are kind-hearted and are willing to help the weak. You have the heart of a pure child and are a person fated with me. I will give you the blessing of the God of Blessing, allowing your cultivation speed to increase by three times and help you rise in your cultivation path. I hope that you will not lose your pure heart in the future and be a kind person.”

n

nAs he spoke, Murong Xuan had already reached out and gently stroked Shen Ran’s head.

n

nHe muttered, “Fortune as a guide, fortune descends from the sky. Blessings of the God of Blessing!”

n

n“Buzz!”

n

nShen Ran immediately felt an extremely warm power flowing into his body through Murong Xuan’s palm.

n

nIn his body, the Supreme Bones, Pangu Sacred Body, Ancient Immortal Eyes, and Heavenly Spirit Root became active at the same time, fighting to absorb the warm current.

n

nShen Ran could feel that his cultivation talent was evolving crazily.

n

nIs this the blessing from the God of Blessing? Shen Ran sighed inwardly.

n

nNot long after, all his top-notch talents were 50% stronger than before.

n

nThis meant that Shen Ran’s future breakthrough speed could increase by 50%!

n

nThinking of how the True Emperor had said that he could increase his cultivation speed by three times, Shen Ran was extremely excited.

n

nAt that moment, the warmth that had poured into his body disappeared.

n

n“Didn’t you say that you would increase my cultivation speed by three times? Why did the warm current disappear after only increasing it by 50%?”

n

nShen Ran was dumbfounded and looked at Murong Xuan blankly.

n

nThe True Emperor can also lie?

n

nHe did not know that Murong Xuan was equally embarrassed.

n

nThe so-called blessing of the Blessing of the God was Murong Xuan stimulating Shen Ran’s potential by injecting his spiritual energy into his body.

n

nThe moment he touched Shen Ran’s head, he realized that the former had an extremely terrifying cultivation talent.

n

nThe stronger the cultivation talent, the more spiritual energy it would consume to stimulate their potential!

n

nWhen he injected spiritual energy into Shen Ran just now, Murong Xuan had already injected a third of his cultivation into him.

n

nUnexpectedly, he had underestimated Shen Ran’s talent and only increased his cultivation speed by 50%.

n

nFacing Shen Ran’s puzzled gaze, Murong Xuan blushed and poured almost all the spiritual energy in his body into Shen Ran.

n

nWarmth filled his head again.

n

nShen Ran’s cultivation talent continued to increase.

n

nSeventy percent…

n

nEighty percent…

n

nDouble!

n

nThen the warmth inside him vanished again.

n

n“My cultivation speed still hasn’t increased by three times. It has only increased by two times.”

n

nShen Ran looked up blankly and realized that Murong Xuan was no longer in front of him.

n

nAt this moment, Murong Xuan had already moved thousands of miles away with the spiritual energy he had just left for himself.

n

n“It’s too embarrassing! It’s too embarrassing! If I had known that this kid’s cultivation talent was so terrifying, I wouldn’t have said that I could increase his cultivation speed by three times! I didn’t expect that I had to use almost all the spiritual energy in my body to barely double his cultivation speed. I hope he doesn’t remember my name. Otherwise, how awkward would it be when I see him in the future?”
