1235: Chapter 307_2 1235: Chapter 307_2 Cao Zhen once again recognized the preciousness of Yellow Grade treasures.
No wonder, back in the ruins, those people were so desperate to snatch the Silverlight Wings.
“Kui Dragon Inkstone.”
Immortal Bi Yue glanced at the treasures and finally settled on an inkstone.
This inkstone, although there were obvious traces of human carving, took more of its form from natural shapes, with a rectangular pond lying above the inkstone surface.
Around the edges of the pond, Kui dragons were carved, looking back as if over their shoulders.
Below the inkstone were three feet, each side with carvings of Kui dragons, giving this palm-sized inkstone a deep and majestic aura.
“This is one of the famous treasures of Old Man Wu Shuang, the Kui Dragon Inkstone, which is a Yellow Level Upper Grade Treasure,” Immortal Bi Yue pointed at the inkstone and said, “The strength of this inkstone lies in the ink it grinds, but it needs to be used in combination with a brush-type treasure to unleash its full potential.
Once, Old Man Wu Shuang had a Lower Profound Grade treasure, the Wu Shuang Brush.
Unfortunately, no one saw him use that brush in the fifty years before he fell asleep.
Rumors say that during that period, Old Man Wu Shuang entered a ruin, and people suspect that his Wu Shuang Brush was lost or damaged there.
If his Wu Shuang Brush were still around, it would surely be among his grave’s treasures, but we haven’t seen the Wu Shuang Brush among these treasures, which makes the rumor seem credible.”
Cao Zhen thought of the Chaotic Pearl, wondering whether Old Man Wu Shuang had found the Chaos Beads when he entered that ruin?
Also, this inkstone needs a brush to maximize its power?
He did have a Prime Era Brush; he wondered if it could be used with the inkstone?
Unfortunately, it was the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth now, and he hadn’t reached the Earth Immortal Realm, making it impossible for him to truly use the Kui Dragon Inkstone or to test it.
After Immortal Bi Yue finished introducing the Kui Dragon Inkstone, her gaze fell upon an ancient zither, and she said pointing at it.
“This zither is known as the Unrivaled Burning Tail Qin, another highly renowned treasure of Old Man Wu Shuang, and it too is a Yellow Level Upper Grade treasure.” Looking at Cao Zhen again, she said, “Old Man Wu Shuang is unparalleled in Calligraphy and Musical Rhythm.
His strongest treasures are based on Calligraphy and Musical Rhythm, especially Musical Rhythm treasures, which suit you perfectly.”
Li Ke couldn’t help but sneer upon hearing this: “Who says Musical Rhythm suits him better?
And who told you his Musical Rhythm is stronger than his Calligraphy?
His stronger suit is the Dao of Calligraphy!”
“Dao of Calligraphy?” Immortal Bi Yue turned to look at Li Ke, a hint of mockery on her face, “You’ve known him for so long, yet you understand him less than I who just met him!
His strength clearly lies in the Dao of Musical Rhythm!”
“Ridiculous, you know that I’ve known him longer, so naturally, I understand him better.
You might think his Musical Rhythm is strong, but his strongest is the Dao of Calligraphy.
Within the Hundred Peaks Sect, none of those who practice Calligraphy can match him.”
“That’s only because no one in the Hundred Peaks Sect can compare with him.
Do you know the heights his Musical Rhythm has reached?
Even I have never seen someone who can compare with him in Musical Rhythm.”
“That’s only your own opinion.”
“And my opinion is better informed than yours!”
For a time, Li Ke and Immortal Bi Yue argued over whether Cao Zhen was more adept at Musical Rhythm or Calligraphy.
After a lengthy debate with no conclusion in sight, both turned their heads to Cao Zhen almost in sync.
“Tell us, what are you most skilled at, Musical Rhythm or Calligraphy!”
“Tell us, what are you most skilled at, Calligraphy or Musical Rhythm!”
Despite their clear animosity, their questions were strikingly similar, with only the order of Calligraphy and Musical Rhythm switched.
Cao Zhen, under their intense gaze, helplessly said, “Actually, I’m equally skilled in both Calligraphy and Musical Rhythm.”
“Impossible!”
“How can they both be the same?
You must be more adept at one.”
“Really, they are the same,” Cao Zhen replied helplessly; his Calligraphy and Musical Rhythm were indeed equal.
Seeing that the two women seemed set to argue further, he quickly circulated his breath, causing his pale face to blush with an odd, flush hue.
He simultaneously cast a covert glance at Duo Duo.
Duo Duo, sensing her master’s gaze, quickly realized his intention and pretended to shout, “Master, what’s wrong?
Your injury?
Master, stop looking at these treasures; let’s collect the treasures first and you should rest and heal.”
Hearing Duo Duo, both Li Ke and Immortal Bi Yue ceased their argument, seeing Cao Zhen’s condition.
Cao Zhen was relieved no longer to have to worry whether he excelled more in Musical Rhythm or Calligraphy.
Sometimes, being too outstanding is also a problem.
A few days later, the group successfully returned to the Five Sounds Sect.
And Immortal Bi Yue once again offered her pills.
After taking the Healing Sacred Medicine from the Dragon Chant Sect, Cao Zhen’s injury healed much faster.
As his condition improved, he took out the Chaotic Pearl again.
Since Old Man Wu Shuang could cultivate Chaotic Power with the pearl, there was no reason Cao Zhen couldn’t do the same.
He placed the Chaotic Pearl in front of him, channeling his mana into it, and soon he felt faint streams of Chaotic Power trickle into his body through the pearl as he activated his cultivation techniques.
