Chapter 30

Feng Ye carefully considered the few magical treasures he had at his disposal: the Taiji Seal, the Sui Ren Lamp, the White Bone Tower, the Fire Cloud Dart, and the Tenglong Sword of Yuan Kui.

The Tenglong Sword was the only magical treasure Yuan Kui had, and there was no way he could give it away. The Sui Ren Lamp, which controlled the fortune of the Fire Cloud Cave, could not be given away either. The Taiji Seal was even more personal to Feng Ye, representing the fate of the talisman path and serving as the foundation for his future enlightenment. He would not part with it. After considering his options, he naturally had only the White Bone Tower and the Fire Cloud Dart left.

The White Bone Tower, after all, was a magical treasure with twenty restrictions and was defensive in nature. Giving it to Feng Zhong would help protect his safety, as Feng Zhong was destined to be his successor. His safety naturally needed to be well-protected.

However, the White Bone Tower was a demonic tool, and using it was always awkward. It would be better to forge another magical treasure for him.

As for the Fire Cloud Dart, it would be left to Feng Kui. After all, on the surface, the water must be evenly distributed, right?

As the saying goes, "When the head thinks, the legs run." With Feng Ye's thought, Yuan Kui naturally had to run all over the mountain to find materials for Feng Zhong. However, in this era, heavenly materials and treasures were still abundant. Ten-thousand-year-old spirit jade and ten-thousand-year-old mystic ice were common goods.

Feng Ye took a piece of ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow that Yuan Kui had found and began to refine it. Having refined a few magical treasures, his technique had improved, and he would not repeat the "twenty-four white bone tower incident" again.

Being a Celestial Immortal, it didn't take long for him to refine a jade bead with nine restrictions.

With a primordial spiritual treasure as a model, Feng Ye had a deeper understanding of the classification of magical treasures. The twenty-four restrictions and below were used by cultivators before the Celestial Immortal stage. The twenty-four to thirty-three restrictions were suitable for cultivators before the Golden Immortal stage. Of course, this did not mean that Celestial Immortals could not use primordial spiritual treasures, but they could not fully refine them. Feng Ye and the Taiji Seal had a deep connection, but even after so much time, he had only refined eighteen restrictions.

Feng Ye did not rush to give the jade bead to Feng Zhong, as Feng Zhong was currently preparing for his tribulation. What could he do with the jade bead in just a few days? After all, he was not the creator of the magical treasure and would need to refine it first.

The Yin Wind Tribulation was different from the tribulation Feng Ye had faced. A single wind tribulation, in Feng Ye's view, had no power at all. However, unexpectedly, the three wind currents in this ordinary Yin Wind Tribulation were the same as those Feng Ye had faced: one Three-Yin Wind and two Yin-Yang Winds.

Fortunately, Feng Ye had given Feng Zhong advance guidance, so he was prepared for the Yin Wind Tribulation, including the Yin-Yang Winds. Having a teacher was truly beneficial, as the experience of overcoming tribulations and the transmission of Dao techniques were all taught to him, and even the secret treasures for the tribulation were ready.

The secret treasure, the Primordial Green Lotus, was personally refined by Feng Ye. Being a Celestial Immortal, the secret treasure he refined was more than enough to handle the tribulation of a Golden Core cultivator.

Feng Zhong summoned the Taiji True Seal and sat on the Primordial Green Lotus. In no time, he overcame the Yin Wind Tribulation.

Seeing Feng Zhong use the Taiji True Seal and overcome the tribulation, Feng Ye felt more and more that this was the successor the heavens had bestowed upon him. The more he looked, the more he felt a deep connection and satisfaction. After Feng Zhong overcame the tribulation, Feng Ye devoted himself to teaching him the ancient divine script and the true essence of the talisman path.

Speaking of the divine script, Feng Ye always felt that these ancient divine scripts were incomplete. Without going into details, when writing talismans, some divine scripts were very awkward to use, as if there were more suitable ones.

The number of primordial elements in the universe was 129,600. In Feng Ye's estimation, the number of divine scripts should match this. However, there were only about 60,000 now. Thus, Feng Ye thought of using the power of the Taiji Seal to evolve a new divine script.

Days passed one by one. Feng Ye spent his days meditating, refining the Taiji Seal, pondering the ancient divine scripts, and teaching Feng Zhong the talisman path. As for Feng Kui, he was taught by Yuan Kui, who merely watched him practice qi, meditate, and write talismans. After all, Feng Kui had not yet condensed his life-bound true seal, so he could not learn many things.

One day, Feng Ye leaned against the Sui tree, holding a jade pot, and sprinkled spiritual water on the Sui tree and the Xuan枣 tree.

The jade pot contained pure yang spiritual water refined by Yuan Kui, which was compatible with the Sui tree and the Xuan枣 tree, aiding their growth.

The Sui tree, nourished by the spiritual water, grew vigorously, reaching dozens of feet tall, with lush branches and leaves, and a fiery red body. However, the Xuan枣 tree remained only three feet tall, with sparse leaves and a few branches. It looked as if it would take a long time to flower and bear fruit.

"Why did you go to the tribe again! Look at your brother, who has condensed his true seal and inherited the essence of the talisman path. Look at you, who hasn't even condensed a true seal! You waste your days and do nothing but run to the tribe! Haven't I told you that life and death are predestined, and we cannot defy the heavens?..."

Yuan Kui's scolding voice came from a distance. Feng Ye shook his head, put the jade pot aside, and walked over.

"Brother, are you angry again?" Feng Ye walked over with a smile, seeing Feng Kui being scolded so much that he couldn't even hold his head up, and even the Sui bird on his head was cowering, not daring to make a sound.

"Brother, Feng Kui is our senior disciple, yet he is so unteachable. You should also speak to him!" Although Feng Zhong had a good foundation, Feng Kui was the senior brother in the sect. In Yuan Kui's view, the main body was too biased, which could lead to disharmony in the sect in the future.

As the senior brother and the chief disciple, he was the face of the sect. He had to respect his seniors and teach his juniors, setting a good example.

Even in the mortal world, being the eldest brother was fraught with difficulties. If your younger siblings made mistakes, it was your fault for not supervising them. If you made mistakes, it was your fault for being a bad role model. If there was something good, you had to let your younger siblings have it first. What a joke! How could you know the hardships of being the eldest brother if you weren't one? And if your younger siblings surpassed you, it was because you were too stupid, and your parents would praise them and encourage them to keep up the good work, while you would be the negative example. If you were better, it was just what you should be. In short, being the eldest brother was not easy, and you were often overlooked. As they say, the child who cries gets the milk. (Cough, the above is purely Feng Ye's venting, please don't take it to heart!)

"Alright, brother, go check on Feng Zhong. I asked him to write a thousand talismans. Go see if he has finished. I'll take care of Feng Kui!" Feng Ye smiled, gesturing with his hand, and the Sui bird on Feng Kui's head flew to Feng Ye's hand.

"Go play in the back for now. I need to talk to Feng Kui!" Feng Ye said to the Sui bird. The Sui bird, understanding the situation, immediately ran off.

Yuan Kui coldly snorted and turned to find Feng Zhong. After all, only excellent disciples were loved.
