Chapter 136 - Snow Falls in the Mortal Realm

After Chen Jingzhai set the rules for dividing the profit, the 3,000,000 water essence stones were divided up.

Chen Jingzhai and the 18 outer disciples all had their own share, while one-third was given to the clan.

It was given to the two Golden Core Sages. It also contained the earnings for Puppet Hall.

The two Golden Core Sages were not as calm as they seemed.

They were extremely shocked inside.

Before this, they did not think that ungraded puppets could make much money.

But the phone bugs showed them.

The 3,000,000 water essence stones were only the beginning. Due to the Eastern Ocean Ruler’s power, they would have greater demands in the future.

This was what excited the two Golden Core Sages the most.

After all, 3,000,000 water essence stones were enough to buy a grade 3 magic treasure.

It was just that there was nowhere to buy it from, while this was only the profit from an ungraded puppet.

They had to admit that Chen Jingzhai contributed greatly to Puppet Hall.

There were incredible benefits. No wonder Mo Bei told them to come over.

If the two Golden Core Sages were not here to anchor everything, they would all lose control!

However, Chen Jingzhai did not think about all this.

He only wanted to calculate the numbers so the relationship between the mountains would not be affected.

After he received his portion, he also rewarded the four maidservants.

They did not hold back as they were used to this.

They were Chen Jingzhai’s maidservants and had to accept whatever Chen Jingzhai did.

However, Chen Jingzhai cared for them greatly, so they already liked him.

Getting rewards became a common thing, so they did not mind.

On the other hand, the 18 outer disciples were overcome with emotion and wished they could kneel down to Chen Jingzhai and worship him.

After spending a few days at Wangdan Pagoda, they learned how well the girls’ lives were.

They were only handyman disciples!

But they lived much more comfortably than the outer disciples, like them.

When they saw how Chen Jingzhai awarded his maidservants, they were practically crying inside.

As expected, the rumors were true! Handyman disciples could be better off if they had a good master!

They finished dividing the water essence stones.

Zhang Kui happily led his junior brothers away to continue producing puppets.

It was no surprise that he was happy. He’d gotten the most water essence stones this time.

After deducting the material expenses, he had a net profit of more than 500,000 stones.

When had he ever been so rich as a disciple of Puppet Hall?

It went without saying that he had to create more puppets, especially phone bugs.

He had invented a grade 1 phone bug long ago.

He just thought that it was useless and wasted material.

This time, he had to produce it no matter what.

After all, grade 1 and ungraded puppets were two completely different concepts and would be worth more money too.

Seeing how Zhang Kui was working passionately, Chen Jingzhai quietly returned to the fifth floor.

He set up the Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Restriction and sat on his bed.

Everything was settled at Wangdan Pagoda, and there were two Golden Core Sages. So one could say that everything was perfect.

Now, it was time for him to think for himself.

His method of creation was too slow. He had to organize the Foundation Establishment passage quickly and have a breakthrough in his cultivation.

It was important for his trip to both the Eastern Ocean and the Woods Ocean Ancient Pass.

The 300 Foundation Establishment cultivation methods from Commandery Prince Hong Yi came at a critical moment.

It was clear how calculative the man was. He had been preparing for and paying attention to Chen Jingzhai.

He chose a special time for the housekeeper to send the gift over too.

The timing was so perfect that Chen Jingzhai could not reject it.

Facing the huge box, Chen Jingzhai exhaled slowly and grabbed a jade slip.

He scanned it with his divine mind but quickly found something wrong.

The jade slip was new, and the cultivation methods were all copied. This was not important.

However, a strange energy from the jade slip followed his divine mind and entered his upper core.

Was this Commandery Prince Hong Yi’s trick?

Expressionless, Chen Jingzhai instantly used his divine light.

He guided this energy into the Grotto-heavens.

As soon as this energy entered the Grotto-heavens, it materialized and showed the shape of a dragon.

Chen Jingzhai’s divine mind appeared in the Grotto-heavens. He looked at this long dragon.

Its body was yellow, had one horn, no whiskers, and three dark claws that were the same color as its tail.

“Yellow body with fish scales. It seems like the Eastern Ocean Ruler has the potential of a dragon.

“Unfortunately, the Dragon Qi was scattered and can’t be used.

“In fact, the heavier the dragon features, the less likely one can become the ruler of Pulao Kingdom.

“Because the celestial clans won’t allow it!”

Chen Jingzhai looked at the dragon before him and murmured to himself.

Seeing this, he obviously knew that the mysterious energy was Dragon Qi.

The Dragon Qi had been scattered for 1,000 years.

However, Dragon Qi had already mixed in with one’s bloodline and was passed down the generations.

As long as Pulao Kingdom was not destroyed, Dragon Qi would always appear.

Pulao Kingdom’s Path of Dynasty Fate was broken, but both fortune and misfortune still followed.

At least, their bloodline continued to inherit the dragon heritage. Pulao Kingdom’s royal family also had many descendants.

The consequence was that their cultivation would be even more difficult.

The Eastern Ocean Ruler presided over the wealthiest Feng County by the sea, and his power reached the five large counties of the Eastern Ocean.

He had vast forces, strong abilities, and even richer resources.

If it was all given to one person, he could easily become a Nascent Zhenjun in a few hundred years.

But in reality, the Eastern Ocean Ruler was still in the Golden Core Plane.

He was not the only one. The members of Pulao Kingdom royalty and lords of the same generation were all like this.

No one had reached the Nascent Zhenjun Plane yet.

Even the king had a locked limit.

If they could not complete the Path of Dynasty Fate, the Dragon Qi would be like poison.

The dragon of fate could not be consolidated, the country’s fate was not positive, and the government suffered from the backlash.

“Commandery Prince Hong Yi is able to use Dragon Qi already. It seems that he’s at least in the middle of the Foundation Establishment Plane.

“He is not subtle with his plan.

“Dragon Qi has no side effects on non-royal cultivators.

“They will only be labeled.

“Judging from Senior Brother Mo Bei’s words, this Dragon Qi will affect my trip to the Eastern Ocean Remains.

“Oh my, if I didn’t have the Primordial Essence Grotto-heavens, Commandery Prince Hong Yi would have hurt me unknowingly!”

Chen Jingzhai shook his head, feeling pity for the commandery prince.

He had figured out that Chen Jingzhai would be unable to refuse the 300 Foundation Establishment Plane cultivation methods.

He wanted to use this chance to hide the Dragon Qi in Chen Jingzhai and make him join them.

Even if Chen Jingzhai was not genuine, being labeled as such was enough.

However, this was a prime example of a plan backfiring.

Chen Jingzhai would naturally feel indebted for these 300 Foundation Establishment Plane cultivation methods.

However, the hidden Dragon Qi made Chen Jingzhai wipe out this feeling completely.

Commandery Prince Hong Yi did not have good intentions, while Chen Jingzhai had dodged the bullet with his own skills.

He would naturally accept these cultivation methods without feeling any indebtedness.

Thinking this through, he laughed and shook his head. Then, he prepared to start cultivating in seclusion.

He put the 300 cultivation methods directly into the Grotto-heavens, preparing to create methods there.

But as soon as he got ready, Chen Jingzhai suddenly got an idea.

“Dragon Qi, Dragon Qi… My celestial bone absorbs Yin and Yang. It collects both dragon and phoenix.

“If I want my foundation to be upgraded, how can I not have a dragon?

“And how can I not have the Dragon and Phoenix Consummation Seal Script? It is a celestial scripture.

“The Foundation Establishment passage is based on the sky scripture of Daoxuan Peak.

“This way, I only have to fill it in with celestial scripture runes, but this is still not enough.

“Yes, the lords and officials, the Path of Dynasty Fate, and… celestial bone acupoints!”

Chen Jingzhai’s divine mind stood there, dazed.

All sorts of thoughts suddenly appeared following this idea.

Chen Jingzhai had barely managed to figure out the framework of the Foundation Establishment passage, but now he shimmered with inspiration.

The celestial bone acupoints, Path of Dynasty Fate, and Dragon Qi appeared in his heart.

Then he heard a loud boom in his mind. It was like thunder cracking, and all life started flourishing.

He understood everything now. He could clearly see the path of the complete Foundation Establishment passage too.

All confusion was resolved. He knew how to create his own Foundation Establishment passage now.
