Chapter 137
The crafting of the discs for Minor Universal Teleportation Array was purely a laborious task . After getting himself familiar with the process, the speed of Wu Qi in crafting them became faster . In the end, after twelve days of hard work, he was able to produce over 180 array discs, and had all of them placed inside his storage ring . Besides from these array discs, he also crafted a few hundred array discs of all sizes using ordinary metals, ranging from the Array of One to the Array of Six Directions . He planned to give some of them to Lu Chengfeng, as well as keeping some for his own use .
After a cultivator formed his Gold Core, he was able to refine items using the Fire of Samadhi . But it was too bad that both Wu Qi's Gold Cores belonged to innate Water element . Although they were very powerful, they were not an appropriate energy source for controlling fire . Also, currently he still could not freely control the Divine Flame of Order . Nevertheless, by using this divine flame, which could be ranked within the top five most powerful flames under the heaven, to refine array discs was like shooting a sparrow with artillery . As a result, he could only borrow the power from the lava flame in the cave of Sword Stems From The Mind .
With his fingers, Wu Qi formed an incantation and unleashed it, sealing off the bursting earth core flame . Then, he began tidying up the surrounding, picking up various unused materials and wastes that were scattered across the place . After cleaning up the crafting room and making sure that he left no rubbish and waste behind, Wu Qi opened the stone door and strode out from it .
He did not see Nie Yaonu or Nie Baihong, but was greeted by two teenage girls, both clad in a same light-yellow short skirt, and a short, light-green sleeve shirt on top . With a soft and gentle voice, both girls told him that Nie Yaonu and Nie Baihong were in a secluded cultivation, studying the sword techniques given by Wu Qi earlier . He was told that he could leave the place after he was done with his business, and once Nie Baihong had gained some insights on the sword techniques, he would then visit Wu Qi in Ji City .
Both girls also told him that there were three treasure storing rooms in the cave, and each of them stored many items that could be used by cultivators . For the great merit of Wu Qi contributing the sword techniques to the sect, he was allowed to choose any five treasures from these treasure storing rooms .
Wu Qi gave this pair of teenage girls a glance, who apparently were twin sisters, and both possessed the cultivation base of Physique Strengthening tier . They were both very young, and presumably, the loyal disciples who Nie Yaonu had meticulously cultivated . In his previous visit in the middle of the night when he came to steal the Dustless Lamp, Wu Qi did not sense the aura of these two girls . It told him that Nie Yaonu must not only have this cave as her trump card, but she must also have some other caves hiding in other places as well .
He thanked both girls while smiling, who called themselves Qing Yue and Zi Yue, then followed them and went straight to the treasure storing rooms . There were many items inside of the room, yet Wu Qi did not intend to waste too much time in there . He chose himself a protective jacket, a pair of Cloud Boots which could increase his flying speed by thirty percent, a breastplate, a sword crown, and a pearl that could unleash a dense fog . Then, he left the treasure storing room .
All of them were middle tier magical items, and could be used after injecting a small amount of divine sense . Wu Qi put on the protective jacket, Cloud Boots, and breastplate on the spot, then placed the pearl inside his sleeve, and used a string to tie the sword crown on his head . With his rather short hair, the crown barely mounted on his head . The sword crown took the shape of a moon surrounded by five dragons . Subtly, a glint could be seen inside each dragon head . They were actually five tiny flying swords, and once they were triggered by one’s divine sense, they could transform into sword beams and attack the enemies .
After settling the few magical items which he obtained out of nowhere, Wu Qi again thanked Qing Yue and Zi Yue and then left the cave under their guidance .
As Qing Yue and Zi Yue did not have the ability to carry someone with sword beams like Nie Yaonu, and as both Nie Yaonu and Nie Baihong were now in a secluded cultivation, Wu Qi had no other choice but to climb down the cliff slowly with the green rattans hanging on the edge . When he passed the ancient pine trees, he was even chased and pecked by a few great white cranes, bringing him into a sorry state . Qing Yue and Zi Yue were standing on the edge of the cliff, and when they saw how Wu Qi was trying to dodge the cranes in a flurry, they could not refrain themselves and giggle . Wu Qi was so mad that he nearly unleashed his flying sword to kill these few white cranes, but eventually, he was able to press down his anger .
Although he had decided to spare the life of these few white cranes, Wu Qi did not want to let them feel well after bullying him . When he went past the ancient pine trees, he forcefully kicked a few large crane nests and threw them off the tree branches, deep into the canyon . Frightened by his action, the large flock of white cranes soared high up into the sky while crying in panic, yet Wu Qi was laughing out loud while he continued climbing down to the base of the cliff . Both Qing Yue and Zi Yue had their giggles halted in an instant, throwing their glances down the cliff at Wu Qi, who now looked like a tiny sesame seed . They felt depressed now, murmuring in their mind that this man was such a useless man, as he was fussing over with a flock of birds .
While laughing out loud, Wu Qi gave two middle fingers to the white cranes who came chasing after him, then bent down and picked up a handful of rocks, crushing them into countless tiny debris and throwing them towards those birds . The tiny rocks pierced through the air and hit right onto the neck of these big birds, making them cry out miserably, climbing back up into the sky and daring not to come back down to attack Wu Qi again .
"If not for the fact that I don't want to expose my Gold Core, I would definitely kill you all with my flying sword!" said Wu Qi while he kept laughing and looking at those great white cranes . Then, he blew out a loud whistle . From afar, the single-horned deer answered his call, jumping and leaping as it dashed towards Wu Qi, stuck out its big fat tongue and gave Wu Qi's face a few intimate licks .
Wu Qi patted on the body of the deer, who had turned slightly skinny after so many days, then he said with a pitying tone, "It looks like you've suffered a lot for these few days as you could only eat that tasteless grass!" From his storage ring, Wu Qi took out a bag of premium quality fodder and placed it near the mouth of the deer, allowing it to feed to its heart's content .
After finishing the fodder, the stomach of the deer became swollen up . It snorted comfortably, then brought its large head and forcefully rubbed against Wu Qi's body . Wu Qi did not ride on it, but instead, he pulled the leash and walked slowly towards the gateway of Mount White Sun . While on his way, he was pondering what he should do next . Now, as he had successfully crafted the discs of Minor Universal Teleportation Array, he had to construct himself a few escape routes as soon as possible . However, as for how he was going to begin with the construction, he still needed to give it a careful planning .
Meanwhile, Lu Chengfeng had taken the official post of West Supervisor for quite some time, and Yan Dan only gave him a year of time frame to deliver some results . Thus, no matter what, Wu Qi had to come out with a good strategy for Lu Chengfeng . Whether it was a result merely for the face, or a result for the official post, he had to create some momentum for Lu Chengfeng in the near future .
