Chapter 31

Speaking to Jing Bubusi and Jing Bubie, Jing Qingyi said, "You two idiots, why don't you call him 'Boss'?"

Jing Bubusi and Jing Bubie hurriedly said to Zhao Shuo, "Boss!"

Zhao Shuo was taken aback. How did everything become so gangster-like with Jing Qingyi? If someone didn't know better, they might think he was the leader of a group of ruffians.

Waving his hand, Zhao Shuo said, "You've seen my current situation; it's very dangerous. At any moment, someone might come to kill me. How about I teach you the cultivation method..."

Before Zhao Shuo could finish, Jing Qingyi said, "Zhao Shuo, we won't abandon you. If we die, we'll die together. If those people dare to come, I, Jing Qingyi, will avenge Ah Long and the others."

Jing Bubusi and Jing Bubie's eyes flashed with determination as they said, "Revenge!"

Sighing, Zhao Shuo said, "Since that's the case, follow me. I'll help you open your spirit orifices."

Following Zhao Shuo, Jing Qingyi said, "Boss!"

Hearing Jing Qingyi call him "Boss," Zhao Shuo felt very uncomfortable and quickly said, "Qingyi, just call me by my name. Otherwise, I feel strange."

Pouting, Jing Qingyi muttered, "Hmph, like I want to call you 'Boss.' It's more comfortable to call you by your name."

Zhao Shuo couldn't help but pause at Jing Qingyi's muttering, a bitter smile on his face. How could he forget Jing Qingyi's gangster-like attitude? But it gave her a unique charm.

"Zhao Shuo, what level of star map inheritance are you going to help us with? Is it ordinary or human level?"

Jing Qingyi's eyes sparkled as she stared at Zhao Shuo, and Jing Bubusi and Jing Bubie looked at him nervously.

Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "It's neither human level nor earth level."

Jing Qingyi immediately deflated like a punctured balloon and said, "So it's just an ordinary star map inheritance. But that's fine, as long as we can cultivate."

Shaking his head, Zhao Shuo said, "Since you've chosen to follow me, how can I let you undergo an ordinary star map inheritance? Otherwise, when would you be able to take revenge? So, I'm going to give you a heavenly-level star map inheritance! However, the level of spirit orifice you can open depends on your own talent and destiny."

"What? You... you mean a heavenly-level star map inheritance?"

Jing Qingyi suddenly perked up, looking at Zhao Shuo in disbelief and asking in a trembling voice.

Jing Bubusi and Jing Bubie, standing beside her, looked as if they were shivering, their faces flushed, and their eyes shining brightly, looking even more ravenous than hungry wolves.

Seeing their reactions, Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "What are you staring at? This is the highest-level star map inheritance. How far you can cultivate in the future depends on your own destiny."

First, Jing Qingyi, then Jing Bubusi and Jing Bubie. After completing the star map inheritance and opening their spirit seas, Zhao Shuo was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect their talents to be so good. Jing Qingyi had an eighth-heaven spirit orifice, and even Jing Bubusi and Jing Bubie had seventh-heaven spirit orifices, all of which were heavenly-level spirit orifices.

Looking at the star map in his hand, Zhao Shuo deeply felt the preciousness of a top-level star map. It was like a cheat code for creating geniuses. However, this also made him realize the profound heritage of the ancient sects and families that possessed heavenly-level star maps.

After completing the star map inheritance and opening their spirit orifices, they had officially embarked on the path of cultivation. It was as if a new world had opened up to them. When Jing Qingyi and the others woke up one by one, everything around them seemed to have changed. Whether it was a blade of grass, a tree, or the clouds in the sky, everything became more intimate and clear.

If before they felt the world through a veil, now that veil was gone, and the feeling was completely different.

"Is... is this the feeling of cultivation? It's truly amazing!"

Seeing their excitement, Zhao Shuo pondered for a moment and said seriously, "Now that your spirit orifices are open, what you lack is a cultivation technique. I will teach you one, but without my permission, no one is allowed to spread it!"

It was clear that Zhao Shuo was very serious, and Jing Qingyi and the others understood the meaning of his words. Clearly, the cultivation technique Zhao Shuo was going to teach them was not simple. They nodded excitedly and eagerly.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Shuo touched Jing Qingyi's forehead and said, "I will teach you the Western Metal Technique!"

Glancing at the meditating Jing Qingyi, Zhao Shuo then taught the Two-Hearted Apes Technique to Jing Bubusi and Jing Bubie.

Both the Western Metal Technique and the Two-Hearted Apes Technique were cultivation techniques Zhao Shuo had obtained from the jade slip left by the Green Leaf Dao Master. Even in ancient times, they were extremely powerful techniques.

When Jing Qingyi and the others realized the profound and mysterious nature of the techniques Zhao Shuo had taught them, they opened their eyes in shock. Jing Qingyi trembled and said, "This technique, when cultivated to its peak, can achieve an immortal golden body and control the metal force of the world. It's truly profound."

Jing Bubusi and Jing Bubie trembled and said, "Our technique is also very mysterious. It can make our hearts and minds resonate, and at its peak, we can merge into one for a short time, possessing great power."

Zhao Shuo smiled lightly and said, "This is nothing. There will be even more profound things in the future. As long as you work hard, flying through the air and achieving immortality is not impossible."

Jing Qingyi and the others exchanged glances and respectfully bowed to Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo accepted the bow without hesitation. After all, he had led them on the path of cultivation and taught them such profound techniques. After accepting the bow, Zhao Shuo smiled and said, "Alright, no need for so much formality. Just be yourself. Otherwise, I can't handle it."

Jing Qingyi giggled and said, "What should we do next? Go back to Wanghai City or find a place to cultivate?"

Zhao Shuo thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to a place first."

Since they had decided to follow Zhao Shuo, the three of them naturally had no objections to his words. As long as they followed Zhao Shuo, wherever he went, they would follow.

Taking Jing Qingyi and the others, they hurried along. After half a day, Zhao Shuo led them to the narrow crevice where the green dragon's lair was located.

In the distance, the vast blue sea occasionally produced weak waves that hit the rocks. The sea and sky met at the horizon, stretching endlessly. Jing Qingyi and the others, who had never seen such a vast scene, couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Entering the crevice, Jing Qingyi couldn't help but look around and said, "Zhao Shuo, what is this place? It's so eerie."

Zhao Shuo didn't speak but summoned the Zhou Tian Ruyi Purple Light Pagoda to protect the three of them and quickly dived underwater.

When they saw the deep and dark cave through the water barrier created by the Water-Parting Pearl, Jing Qingyi and the others couldn't help but gape in shock and exclaim.
