Vol.1 – Chapter 56 – Cangluan ring, three fingers can break the clouds and split the sea


“So in the future, as long as I drink the wine soaked in this Dragon Gallstone, I will be able to increase my cultivation speed?”

Xu Taiping’s eyes lit up at the words.

“That’s right.”

Fairy Lingyue smiled and nodded, then continued:

“But the Dragon Gallstone wine is not inexhaustible. One Dragon Gallstone can only soak three thousand gourds of wine. And with your current physical condition, you may not even be able to handle a cup of wine, let alone a pot. You need to be prepared for the side effects.”

“Similar to the Bone-Cleansing and Marrow-Cleansing Soup from before?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately recalled the scene of soaking in the Bone-Cleansing and Marrow-Cleansing Soup.

“The suffering to endure is similar, but the medicinal power of the Dragon Gallstone wine is more fierce. After drinking it, the true dragon’s dragon element in the wine will continuously impact your limbs and bones. If you can’t control it, you will explode and die.”

Fairy Lingyue shook her head.

“But you don’t need to worry too much. As long as you control the amount, this situation won’t occur.”

Seeing Xu Taiping’s serious expression, she added.

“Okay, I’ll try half a cup when the time comes.”

Xu Taiping did not retreat because of the side effects mentioned by Fairy Lingyue.

“Besides increasing cultivation speed, watering spirit herbs and elixirs with Dragon Gallstone wine can make them grow rapidly. For ordinary herbs, one cup of wine can add ten years to their age.”

Fairy Lingyue looked at the herb garden and smiled.

“Such amazing effects?”

Xu Taiping looked surprised.

“But unless it’s a rare herb, it’s best not to use it. One Dragon Gallstone can only soak three thousand gourds, and using it means one less gourd.”

Fairy Lingyue nodded and then warned Xu Taiping.

“I understand.”

Xu Taiping nodded.

“Anyway, being able to obtain the Dragon Gallstone, Taiping, your last adventure was very worthwhile.”

Fairy Lingyue was very glad.

You see, if it weren’t for Xu Taiping insisting on getting the Fire Lingzhi last time, and the Earth-Hiding Fruit as a guide, we wouldn’t have been able to obtain this Dragon Gallstone buried underground for tens of thousands of years from this mountain and river.

“Crack!”

As the two were talking, the third gourd fell from the vine.

“Come, come and see what the third treasure given by the Earth-Hiding Fruit is.”

Fairy Lingyue, who had consecutively produced good things from the gourds, became even more eager to see the third gourd.

Just like before, after the gourd, which was as dark as iron, fell to the ground, it automatically flew into Xu Taiping’s arms, as if it had known that he was their master.

“Bang!”

Xu Taiping skillfully opened the gourd.

“Swoosh!…”

As soon as the gourd was opened, a silver light in the shape of a flying bird shot out from the gourd, flew around the courtyard, and then suddenly flew straight towards Xu Taiping.

Instinctively, Xu Taiping raised his hand to block, but the light suddenly turned into golden threads and kept winding around his finger.

In the blink of an eye, a silver ring appeared on Xu Taiping’s finger, and upon closer inspection, the ring was engraved with a lifelike bird pattern.

Just as Xu Taiping was puzzled about what kind of treasure this was, the name and usage of this treasure began to flood into his mind like a tide.

“This should be the Earth-Hiding Fruit, using the Shaofeng Pearl as a guide, combined with the spiritual energy of this mountain and river, it has given birth to a high-grade spiritual treasure. After you wear it, your soul will automatically sense its usage.”

Seeing Xu Taiping standing there in a daze, Fairy Lingyue suddenly understood what had happened and immediately reminded him.

“Sister Lingyue, it’s called the Azure Phoenix Ring. It is a high-grade spiritual weapon born from the spiritual energy of this mountain and river, with the spirit element of the fierce beast Azure Phoenix as its spirit. It is a precious spiritual weapon even in the cultivation world I originally came from.”

After digesting all the information sensed by his soul, Xu Taiping suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Fairy Lingyue with excitement.

“The fierce beast Azure Phoenix? Isn’t that an ancient extinct fierce bird?”

Fairy Lingyue’s beautiful eyes lit up.

“An ancient fierce beast?”

Xu Taiping was somewhat surprised because he had never heard of this Azure Phoenix bird, so he thought it was just an ordinary fierce beast.

“During the ancient chaotic period, fierce beasts ran rampant between heaven and earth, and this Azure Phoenix was one of the most ferocious among them. It is rumored that it was later exterminated by the Dragon Clan.”

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

To have such a fierce reputation during the terrifying ancient chaotic period, even if it was just a trace of its spirit element, it was enough to make people feel fearful.

“But I feel like this spirit is not as fierce as its reputation.”

Xu Taiping really couldn’t connect the little blue bird in his mind with the notorious Azure Phoenix bird.

And just as he said that, a ball of light in the shape of a bird once again flew out from the ring on his hand, joyfully circled around him, and then returned to the ring.

“Hmm… it does seem a bit strange, but your soul sensing must be correct. This spirit must be the Azure Phoenix. And in any case, a high-grade spiritual weapon with a spirit, even in the cultivation world I originally came from, can be considered a treasure.”

Fairy Lingyue also felt that something was a bit strange, but she didn’t plan to delve into the issue. After all, something born from the Earth-Hiding Fruit would not be too bad.

“Okay.”

Xu Taiping nodded vigorously to show his agreement with Fairy Lingyue’s statement.

“I can sense that there is a very powerful divine power hidden in this ring.”

He looked down at the ring in his hand.

“What kind of divine power is it?”

Because this was a brand new spiritual treasure born from the Earth-Hiding Fruit, it was now Xu Taiping’s turn to ask Fairy Lingyue about the name and usage.”The divine strength is divided into offense and defense. When the right thumb and index finger form a circle, it signifies defense.”

As Xu Taiping spoke, he lifted his right palm, his thumb and index finger coming together to form a circle, then he used his soul to sense the circulation method of True Qi and channeled it into the circle.

“Boom!”

With the sound of an explosive burst of air, a wall of wind composed of swirling fierce winds enveloped Xu Taiping entirely.

It was very similar to the Frost Wind Pearl used by the Tiger Demon that day.

“What’s different from the Tiger Demon’s Frost Wind Pearl is that this wind wall will continue to accompany you as you move, and it won’t hinder your ability to throw punches or wield a sword.”

At this moment, Xu Taiping walked in place a few steps and executed several moves of the Green Bull Fist. The wind wall remained by his side without dissipating.

“Not bad.”

Fairy Lingyue nodded.

With her discerning eyes, she could naturally see that the robustness of the wind wall around Xu Taiping was strong enough to withstand the full force of the earlier Fire Pattern Python.

It should be noted that Xu Taiping, who was casting it, was only at the initial stage of cultivation.

Moreover, the fact that it could always accompany the caster was in itself a point of superiority over the Frost Wind Pearl.

“Let me see the offensive power of this ring.”

She then said to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping nodded.

“The offensive power of the Cangluan Ring is divided into three levels: One Finger Piercing Clouds, Two Fingers Shattering Mountains, and Three Fingers Splitting Seas.”

Xu Taiping first raised the index finger that wore the ring, then made a snapping gesture with two fingers, and finally brought three fingers together in a chopping motion.

Although Xu Taiping’s gestures were quite clumsy, Fairy Lingyue immediately understood. These must be the three ways to harness the power of the Cangluan Ring.

“Give it a try.”

Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping with some anticipation.
