"Have none of you found the sun that belongs to you within your eyes?" Zhang Bin asked, raising his eyebrows as he looked at the two beautiful won.
"Yeah, there's just nothing. You're lying," Liu Ruoi said, her face stern and displeased.
"Big Senior Brother, I didn't find it either. There's not even a shadow of the sun," Yan Feifei added in her delicate voice.
"It's normal that you haven't found the sun. Finding it would actually be abnormal," Zhang Bin said nonchalantly.
The two won were so frustrated they almost fainted. What is he talking about? Is he trying to provoke us on purpose?
"You've only reached the Initial Stage of the Qi Sea Realm, and you want to unlock the sun in your eyes? Aren't you dreaming?" Zhang Bin scolded with a straight face. "Cultivation must be done step by step. You'll only be qualified to attempt it after you reach the Liquid Transformation Late Stage. Moreover, you both must diligently cultivate the Pure Heart Mystique. Otherwise, even if you reach the Liquid Transformation Late Stage, you won't be able to sense the sun in your eyes, let alone unlock it."
Tears imdiately welled up in their eyes. Why didn't you say this earlier? You had us searching so earnestly for the sun all this ti? Are you just toying with us?
Since they couldn't unlock the sun and shoot beams of light to light Zhang Bin's cigarette, their enthusiasm waned. They returned to diligently practicing the Three Purities Secret Technique, gradually gathering True Qi into their Dantian. Of course, both had Spirit Stone Shards in their mouths.
For disciples of other sects, cultivating with Spirit Stones was an incredible luxury. For them, however, it was quite ordinary. Who else were they but Zhang Bin's junior sisters? Most importantly, one had already ward Zhang Bin's bed, and the other was expected to do so in the future. Why would Zhang Bin be stingy with his Spirit Stones?
Keep cultivating hard. I'm looking forward to you both growing strong quickly... no, I an growing up quickly. Then Yan Feifei can warm my bed, and both of you can shoot light from your eyes to light my cigarettes, Zhang Bin thought wickedly, clenching the cigarette between his lips and taking a contented puff.
But then, the cigarette unexpectedly went out.
"Damn, it went out so fast. Is this a fake?"
Zhang Bin was astonished and was about to use his Aurora Kill again. Just then, with a sharp sizzle, a terrifying ray of light shot toward him.
It was Hong Ya, perched on a tree, attempting to light his cigarette. One of its eyes suddenly shot out an intense beam of light the size of a large bowl. It blasted toward the cigarette like a searchlight, which was instantly incinerated, turning to ash.
Then, the beam of light slamd ruthlessly into a nearby rock.
BOOM!
A thunderous noise erupted as if the sky had split and the earth had shattered. The rock exploded, sending sharp fragnts flying in all directions. The terrifying shockwave flipped Zhang Bin onto the ground. His face was covered in dirt, his clothes were torn into strips that draped over his body like a fishnet, and his hair shot straight up like a large horn. He was the very epito of disheveled.
"Giggle... Giggle..."
The two won were startled out of their cultivation. Seeing Zhang Bin in such a state, their delicate fras trembled with laughter.
Oh no, I've caused trouble. Hong Ya shrank its neck in fear, imdiately spread its wings, and shot off into the distance like an arrow.
"You damned thing, get back here!" Zhang Bin roared in fury. With a thought, he activated his Telekinesis, yanking Hong Ya straight out of the sky.
THUD! It slamd onto the ground.
Hong Ya let out a piercing shriek of agony, which was, of course, completely feigned. By screaming before it was even hit, it ensured Zhang Bin wouldn't have the heart to strike it.
"Damn it. You should never show off, or you'll get struck by lightning," Zhang Bin muttered as he climbed to his feet, spitting a mouthful of sand. Looking down at his beggar-like attire, he was utterly speechless.
A mont later, he felt a deep sense of shock. Had Hong Ya, the little sparrow that beca a Phoenix, already mastered a Light System Dao thod? And was its attack so terrifyingly powerful? An attack like that could genuinely threaten a cultivator at the Liquid Transformation Late Stage. How had its strength improved so quickly?
He grabbed the still-screaming Hong Ya by the wing and said viciously, "Hong Ya, you tell . How many other things are you hiding from , your master?"
"I... I... I'm not hiding anything..." Hong Ya said, its face full of fear.
She spoke clear, fluent Chinese, and her voice was delicate and tender—like that of an exceptionally beautiful woman.
"A monster!" Yan Feifei scread in terror.
Liu Ruoi and Zhang Bin were also completely dumbfounded, unable to believe their own ears. It was a known fact that even Little Fox Xiao Qian, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, still couldn't speak human languages; she could only understand them. Yet this little sparrow that had cultivated into a Phoenix could actually talk? How was that possible?
"Hong Ya, when did you learn to speak?" Zhang Bin's eyes widened to their absolute limit.
"I... I... I learned a few days ago," Hong Ya stamred.
"How did you suddenly learn to speak?" Zhang Bin asked in astonishnt, still tightly gripping her wing.
"Because... because I... I found a strange tree that bore two fruits. Xiao Qian and I each ate one, and then we could talk," Hong Ya stuttered, inadvertently ratting out Xiao Qian in the process.
"You idiot..." Xiao Qian, standing off to the side, was so anxious she stomped her feet, almost spitting blood in frustration.
"Could it be... the Bone-Tempering Fruit?" A look of pure ecstasy crossed Zhang Bin's face.
The Bone-Tempering Fruit was a miraculous Heavenly Earth Elixir. When consud by Demon Beasts, it could dissolve the horizontal bone in their throats and enhance their intelligence, allowing them to speak human languages. Legend had it that parrots beca true monsters capable of speech because they had once eaten the Bone-Tempering Fruit. While their descendants inherited throat structures without the horizontal bone, their intelligence was unfortunately not high enough for true communication, only mimicry.
However, the Bone-Tempering Tree was said to have gone extinct hundreds of years ago. Even in the era of Daoist Elder Taiqing, they were nowhere to be found. Of course, Bone-Tempering Trees had once existed on Xuanwu Star before its flora was wiped out. But after the great war erupted, all the plants perished, and the trees naturally vanished along with them.
Therefore, the value of a Bone-Tempering Tree was imnse; it was an unbelievably rare treasure. It was also sothing Xuanwu Star urgently needed. The star was ho to many beast tribes, such as the Black Tortoise, White Tiger, Dragon Clan, and Phoenix. If Bone-Tempering Fruit was used as the main ingredient to refine Bone Tempering Pills, the beasts who consud them could beco highly intelligent monsters, which would make cultivating into human form much easier. After all, with higher intelligence cos faster cultivation speed.
Moreover, the Bone-Tempering Fruit was one of the primary ingredients for refining Wisdom Pills. In the future, Zhang Bin planned to refine Wisdom Pills for his parents so they could finally embark on the path of cultivation.
Discovering a Bone-Tempering Tree now was of monuntal significance. How could Zhang Bin not be excited, thrilled, and overjoyed?
