Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Chapter 172: Chapter 126: Perfection of the Fire Element Foundation

Taixuan Holy Land had shown considerable care for Song Lingxue, specially establishing a separate residence for her and channeling a stream of the Spiritual Spring into it.

A Jade Pool, thirty feet square, was filled with Spirit Spring Water, circulating ceaselessly day and night.

Due to the influence of the natural environment, the water was extremely hot, which for a cultivator was just perfect, quickly relaxing numb muscles.

The thirty-foot square Jade Pool, even if two people bathed together, would not feel crowded in the slightest.

"How come you suddenly came to Taixuan? Could there be trouble? What about your parents?"

Song Lingxue's complexion, now three shades rosier, was laced with a touch of worry.

The words Geng Yiyang had spoken previously left her unsettled, and she harbored continuous concern for Chu Zheng's current situation.

The identity of a heretic cultivator was undoubtedly a great hidden danger; a slight misstep could lead to grave consequences.

"Father is in Giant Marsh, staying with your eldest uncle's family. I have also seen Ling Qing before; all is well."

Chu Zheng, with eyes closed cultivating, adjusted the significantly increased Yuan Qi within his body, casually saying,

"As for me, you needn't worry at all, I have it under control."

No sooner had the echo of his voice faded than he slowly lifted his hand, revealing a necklace in his palm, the pale blue clam pearls shining even more entrancing under the refraction of water.

Song Lingxue's eyes brightened as she reached out and snatched it.

She couldn't claim to have a fondness for jewelry, as in the past when she was in Song Residence she always dressed simply; however, Chu Zheng remembering to bring her a gift was enough to bring joy.

"That Martial Path Remnant Wall, I spent some time gathering its pieces, and it's now completely restored. It can save you from many detours."

Chu Zheng took a breath, rubbing the teeth marks on his shoulder and neck, feeling somewhat helpless.

Song Lingxue's habit of leaving marks on his body always reminded him of some animals.

Hearing of the Martial Path Remnant Wall, Song Lingxue's focus was instantly pulled back, bursting with joy, "Where is it?"

In the way of the Martial Path, she was like someone feeling stones to cross a river, struggling with every step, expending great effort, urgently in need of a beacon to guide her.

Chu Zheng stood up and exited the Spirit Pool, draped his vestment robe on, and walked into the inner room, with Song Lingxue hastily following.

The fully repaired Martial Barrier, about three feet wide and nearly half a zhang long, bore clear Divine Skills marks and complete diagrams for cultivating routines.

At the sight of the Xuan Tian Martial Barrier, Song Lingxue was transfixed and couldn't tear her eyes away.

For a Martial Cultivator groping his way forward, the life's work left behind by a Martial God was more precious than any treasure.

Engrossed in the sight, Song Lingxue was left undisturbed by Chu Zheng, who left and headed towards the mountainside.

Li Mingzhou and a group of other Martial Cultivators were arranged to stay on the mountainside, where the temperature was not as blistering as at the mountaintop, creating a more comfortable living environment.

Without Li Mingzhou, the chance of Song Lingxue initially encountering that piece of the Martial Path Remnant Wall would have been slim to none.

If it weren't for Song Lingxue's Martial Path cultivation to mask their presence, he would have had a hard time avoiding the search of the several great holy lands at first, but her involvement bought him an extremely valuable period of time.

In this regard, Li Mingzhou had conferred great favor upon him.

After a long separation, Li Mingzhou seemed more spirited than before; still under fifty, his hair was jet black and lustrous, his vitality at its peak, and his cultivation had thoroughly stabilized at the second layer of the Yuan Aura Realm.

The other Martial Path Grandmasters had also successfully transitioned from Condensing Qi to Aura.

With living examples before them, their path forward would be much easier to walk.

Though the Taixuan Holy Land was a bit intolerably hot, the spiritual energy here was many times stronger than in the outside world, making cultivation far quicker than elsewhere.

These Martial Path Grandmasters were already not young, having weathered many storms and long since learning to adapt to their circumstances; hence, they seemed quite unfazed.

"Chu Zheng? What brings you here?!"

Seeing Chu Zheng, Li Mingzhou couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise.

Their information was very limited; they knew little about the outside world and only vaguely understood that Chu Zheng's current situation was very dangerous.

"Governor Li," Chu Zheng greeted with a smile.

"I am no commandant now," said Li Mingzhou, shaking his head slightly with a dim expression.

From a mere mortal warrior, he had directly encountered a cultivation holy land.

The span in between was something many cultivators could not achieve in a lifetime, yet he managed it in an instant - a twist of fate.

"I came here to deliver something to you," Chu Zheng said, extracting a map as he spoke:

"You gave me a Fragmented Map once; today, I return to you a complete one."

"This..."

Li Mingzhou was taken aback for a moment, his breathing deepening as he gazed upon the map in Chu Zheng's hand.

No one understood the weight of that fragmented map better than he did; it was with that fragment that he had deduced a small part of the path ahead in the Martial Path.

That Song Lingxue could condense her Qi to Aura so rapidly was also largely associated with it.

"Now, it's not easy for us to even stay alive, isn't this map too valuable..."

Regaining his senses, Li Mingzhou hesitated for a moment; he did not feel he had done Chu Zheng a great service; most of it was just a helping hand.

That they were still alive and could continue to cultivate the Martial Path was tied to Chu Zheng, and they were already indebted to him.

"It's just a map,"

Chu Zheng stuffed the map into Li Mingzhou's hands and said firmly:

"You and the others cultivate in peace here and watch for changes; I'll figure out the rest."

The fragmented map had been just as important to Li Mingzhou, and yet Li Mingzhou still gave it to him - that debt of gratitude was something Chu Zheng always remembered.

There was still some time before the warriors of the Martial Path arrived, and it was not necessarily the case that Li Mingzhou and the others only had the option of leaving the Cangyun Realm with the people from the Martial Hall.
