Chapter 167: First Spirit Platform

After Meng Yingxing returned to the disciple quarters, Mu Xin made good on her promise.

“Junior Brother Meng, these are the items Elder Mu Xin asked me to give to you; please store them well.”

When Meng Yingxing opened the door, outside stood a senior sister he didn’t recognize very well.

This senior sister had a sturdy physique and a broad, kind face; she looked very amiable.

Senior Sister Jiang stood outside the door, and floating beside her, controlled by the technique of object manipulation, were many boxes. Presumably, inside the boxes were the heavenly treasures and elixirs Mu Xin had mentioned.

“Senior Sister Jiang, thank you for your trouble.”

Meng Yingxing cupped his hands to Senior Sister Jiang and first moved these items into the room.

Looking at these shiny, packaged boxes, Xiu Qingcheng really wanted to tear them open right now to inspect the goods for Meng Yingxing and see what good things were inside.

It was just a pity that Senior Sister Jiang was still standing at the door, so she shouldn’t make any sudden moves.

“Speaking of which, wasn’t Liu Chenxin the most active in doing this kind of home delivery for you before? Why is it this Senior Sister Jiang this time?”

Xiu Qingcheng suddenly had a bit of interest in Liu Chenxin’s whereabouts.

After all, she had promised to help investigate Meng Yingxing’s background, but after so long, she hadn’t made a peep.

Meng Yingxing didn’t know why Xiu Qingcheng, who had always shown great dislike towards Liu Chenxin, was now suddenly interested in her again.

Meng Yingxing shook his head; he also didn’t know about Liu Chenxin’s situation.

But recalling recently, aside from seeing Liu Chenxin after the Demon Clan invasion some time ago, he hadn’t seen her since.

“Ask her and see.”

He wouldn’t ask too much, but while moving things, Meng Yingxing seemed to ask Senior Sister Jiang casually: “Senior Sister Jiang, why haven’t I seen Senior Sister Liu recently?”

“Senior Sister Liu? You mean Liu Chenxin, right? When I saw her before, she was always running here to you. Later, she accepted a sect mission to help the villages and towns around Yongning City clear out the demonic beasts that had suddenly increased during the invasion. Since then, I haven’t seen her come back.”

“I see, thank you, Senior Sister.”

“You’re welcome.”

Senior Sister Jiang smiled warmly, fished out a token from her sleeve, and placed it into Meng Yingxing’s hand with incomparable solemnity.

“Junior Brother Meng, this is the pass for the Spirit Building Platform; please keep it safe.”

The token was crafted from jade; it felt warm and moist in the hand, making one fond of it.

The edges were decorated with cloud patterns, and the two characters ‘Spirit Building’ were engraved on it.

“I will keep it safe.”

Meng Yingxing nodded and put away the token.

“Junior Brother Meng, I heard you have a Congenital Sword Intent Body, and now you’ve obtained the pass token for the Spirit Building Platform while breaking through to the Tiny Star Realm; your future is limitless.”

“Senior Sister praises me too much.”

“Hahaha, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go first. I wish you a smooth breakthrough, Junior Brother.”

After Meng Yingxing insincerely dealt with Senior Sister Jiang, he closed the room door.

Turning around, he saw Xiu Qingcheng, already transformed into human form, squatting there in front of the stacked boxes, her eyes shining as she opened them.

His master always liked these shiny things; he didn’t know if she would buy a pearl just for the box, or if she was purely interested in the treasures inside the boxes.

“Which one should I choose? Which one should I choose?”

Xiu Qingcheng squatted on the ground, the tips of her hair drooping to the floor, spreading into a pool.

Her gaze swept over the boxes one by one, unable to make up her mind.

These boxes all looked exactly the same, and not knowing what was inside gave Xiu Qingcheng the hesitant feeling of opening blind boxes.

Xiu Qingcheng thought it over and over, then randomly grabbed a box and opened it with a swish.

“Jade Dew Clear Spirit Powder, not bad.”

A small jade bottle; Xiu Qingcheng knew what it was with one sniff.

Putting down the bottle, Xiu Qingcheng continued to open the next box.

“Northern Cold Grass.”

“Blood Feather Pill.”

“Shang Le Three-Turn Pill.”

Xiu Qingcheng opened boxes for quite a while before taking out all the items inside.

Meng Yingxing squatted down beside Xiu Qingcheng and reached out to gently gather up her long hair that was drooping on the ground.

“Master, how is it?”

Xiu Qingcheng nodded, “Although most of them aren’t rare elixirs or herbs, they are indeed the most suitable things for you to use now for cultivation and charging towards the Tiny Star Realm.”

“The Tianfeng Sect did a human thing this time; you should put them away properly.”

Xiu Qingcheng glanced at Meng Yingxing, who was helping her gather her hair, then turned around and stretched out her hands to grope around on Meng Yingxing’s body.

“Where’s that Spirit Building Platform token from just now? Let me take a look.”

“Master, don’t touch randomly—”

Meng Yingxing held Xiu Qingcheng’s hair with one hand without letting go, while his other hand forcefully grabbed Xiu Qingcheng’s hand that was groping around his chest.

Xiu Qingcheng was stunned and hurriedly pulled her hand out of Meng Yingxing’s grasp.

“What are you doing? Give it to me quickly.”

Her beautiful brows glared at Meng Yingxing as she placed her hands on her hips self-righteously.

“Of course I can give it to Master to see.”

Meng Yingxing pursed his lips in a slow smile, gently rubbing the fingers that had just grabbed Xiu Qingcheng’s soft paw.

Xiu Qingcheng stared at Meng Yingxing’s expression and movements.

Disciple’s movements and expressions when facing her recently seemed… becoming more and more steady? Has he grown up? Or is it an illusion?

A moment later, Meng Yingxing tidied the clothes that had been messed up by Xiu Qingcheng and took out the Spirit Building Platform token, handing it to her.

As soon as Xiu Qingcheng saw this glittering jade token, she immediately couldn’t put it down.

“Can you give it to me?”

She clutched the jade token with both hands.

“Of course. But this jade token should be returned after I finish breaking through; at that time, Master will have to return it to me.”

“Can I not return it?”

“If Master likes it, next time I will buy a similar one for you.”

“Then it’s a deal!”

Meng Yingxing nodded with a faint smile.

He thought Xiu Qingcheng would throw the jade token back to him immediately after hearing this, but unexpectedly, Xiu Qingcheng clutched the jade token even tighter in her hand.

“I’ll give it back to you when you need it; let me play with it first.”

“…Okay, Master.”

Round like a pearl and smooth like jade, with a slick texture and emitting a faint luster; every point hit Xiu Qingcheng’s preferences.

Meanwhile, Liu Chenxin was still exterminating small demons in the villages around Yongning City.

“The culprit behind the recent disappearances of cattle and sheep was this Yellow Hat Spirit. I have now eliminated it; you can rest easy from now on.”

At the door of a farmer’s house, Liu Chenxin, dressed in white, was saying something to the farmer in front of her.

“Thank you for your help, Fairy; otherwise, we villagers wouldn’t know how much more loss we would have to suffer!”

A grateful expression appeared on the farmer’s face as he watched Liu Chenxin leave.

After Liu Chenxin left, a tired expression immediately appeared on her face.

Shoulders drooping, she limped along the small path in the village.

“Let me see, the next target is…”

Liu Chenxin sighed, took out a piece of parchment, and opened it; listed on it were many troublesome matters to be resolved on this trip.

Although eliminating harm for the people was the responsibility of major Immortal Sects, such a busy road of demon extermination was becoming too much for Liu Chenxin to bear.

What’s more, this wasn’t her original intention.

During this period in the Tianfeng Sect, she clearly felt an internal investigation was underway, fearing that her brief intrusion into the Forbidden Peak had left some traces.

Liu Chenxin—this identity disguise was perfect; the Tianfeng Sect wouldn’t find any clues for a while.

But Liu Chenxin chose to go out with other disciples to exterminate demons at this time mainly to lay low and avoid the limelight first.

Thinking of this, Liu Chenxin sighed again.

“I originally wanted to rope in that Sword Spirit again, but in the end, there was no chance at all…”

“I really want to go back and see Sister Ying Ruci!”

“When will these days come to an end!”

Spirit Building Platform.

The Spirit Building Platform was located in a huge empty valley between Dieheng Peak and Qingyun Peak; here, clouds and mist lingered all year round, and spiritual power was rich.

“Master.”

“I know, I know, I’ll give it to you, I’ll give it to you.”

At this moment, in an unmanned corner of the Spirit Building Platform, Meng Yingxing was confronting the Ting Tian Sword.

Under his repeated urging, Xiu Qingcheng reluctantly returned the Spirit Building Platform pass token to Meng Yingxing.

The Ting Tian Sword trembled, and the Spirit Building Platform pass token, which she had conjured from who knows where, was placed into Meng Yingxing’s hand.

“Mm, that’s my good Master.”

Meng Yingxing smiled and reached out to stroke the Ting Tian Sword.

Xiu Qingcheng shook like a sieve and said angrily: “No random touching!”

A moment later, Meng Yingxing, having sheathed the Ting Tian Sword on his back, arrived at the entrance of the Spirit Building Platform with the jade token.

This place was like the Tianfeng Sect’s Archive Pavilion; both were guarded by a Tianfeng Sect deacon.

“Meng Yingxing, is it? Elder Mu Xin has already informed me; show the jade token and you may enter.”

The Tianfeng Sect deacon said expressionlessly.

It seemed that to enter this Spirit Building Platform, just having the jade token might not be enough; one also needed to be reported beforehand.

Meng Yingxing handed over the jade token; the deacon placed the jade token in his hand, looked at it twice, and returned it to Meng Yingxing.

Before letting Meng Yingxing in, the deacon added:

“Turn left after entering, First Spirit Platform.”

“Okay.”

This Spirit Building Platform was very large and could accommodate several people using it simultaneously, but the places were separated, so they wouldn’t disturb each other.

Xiu Qingcheng had really broadened her horizons this time; the Tianfeng Sect was indeed worthy of being a huge Immortal Sect—this place for seclusion, cultivation, and breakthrough was actually counted by private rooms.

High class, truly high class!

Meng Yingxing followed the route given by the deacon and smoothly arrived at the First Spirit Platform.

Although called a Spirit Platform, it was actually just the location of a huge spirit stone.

As soon as Meng Yingxing approached this huge spirit stone, he could feel abundant spiritual power rushing toward his face, instantly invigorating his spirit and even making his vision clearer.

A wave of excitement rose from the bottom of Meng Yingxing’s heart, and he hurriedly took out all the elixirs and herbs he had prepared earlier.

This time, he was determined to cultivate hard and then break through to the Tiny Star Realm in one go!
