Chapter 120 Partial Version of Laws of Heaven and Earth

Elder Du narrowed his eyes slightly, with an arrogant attitude:

"That naturally comes at a huge price. To comprehend supernatural powers, one must first consider one's comprehension. Without sufficient comprehension, even if one expends a great deal of time and energy, it will be in vain. However, comprehension alone is not enough; fate is also crucial. Many Hedao cultivators have spent their entire lives without ever comprehending even one or two supernatural powers."

He paused and said mysteriously:

"In order to invite four powerful monks with supernatural powers, our president offered a specific price. I am not in a position to disclose it. I can only tell you that each of them paid no less than one million spirit stones."

In fact, the so-called ancient photo stone tablet was nothing more than a huge photo stone that the president of their chamber of commerce accidentally obtained. It had been gathering dust in the warehouse for three years and could not be sold.

There's no way around it. I guess no one would be willing to hold up a huge rock that's over a meter high to record a video.

In order to make use of the waste, their president had a sudden idea to grind it into a stone tablet, and invited four impoverished and powerful monks who possessed supernatural powers.

Each of them was given 50,000 spirit stones, and asked to leave images of their magical powers on the stone tablet.

They lied to the outside world and claimed that this stone tablet was an ancient photographic tablet, in order to trick those monks who wanted to comprehend magical powers into taking out spirit stones to gain enlightenment.

"One million spirit stones?" Chu Xing's eyes widened, as if he was surprised.

"According to what you said, Senior, just having someone take the photo cost no less than four million spirit stones. Doesn't that mean this ancient photo tablet is as precious as those magical treasures that rank high on the Heaven and Earth Rankings?"

"Of course." Elder Du stroked his beard leisurely.

After a brief silence, Chu Xing began to feel sorry for the ancient stone tablet:

"Senior, this is a rare treasure that can help people comprehend supernatural powers, but your Chamber of Commerce has only invited four powerful monks to record the supernatural powers. To be honest, I feel that your Chamber of Commerce has treated it unfairly. You should at least invite more."

Elder Du sighed softly:

"Ah, my friend, it sounds easy to say, but it's not that easy to invite these powerful people. Our Chamber of Commerce was able to invite four of them, which means we have exhausted all our connections."

Chu Xing frowned, seeming to be very conflicted.

"Senior, I really can't bear to see this precious pearl go unnoticed. I happen to know a powerful cultivator who possesses two top-level magical powers. I might be able to invite him with some persuasion, but I wonder what price your Chamber of Commerce can offer?"

"..."

Elder Du cursed in his heart, but on the surface he had to pretend to be very grateful, and said with a smile:

"Haha, it's rare for you to be so kind. I thank you in advance. However, our Chamber of Commerce has been quite short of spirit stones lately, so I'm afraid I'll be disappointed with your kindness."

Chu Xing seemed to have made some important decision:

"Senior, I'm confident I can persuade him to agree to let you use the Photo Capture Divine Ability for 100,000 Spiritual Stones each. Even if your Chamber of Commerce is short of liquidity, you should be able to come up with 200,000 Spiritual Stones, right?"

Elder Du was silent for a while before he said:

"This... I can certainly take it out, but magical powers also have different strengths. I wonder which two magical powers the cultivator you know possesses?"

Chu Xing held his head high and cleared his throat:

"The first one is a form of escape technique called Wind and Thunder Flash. It allows one to transform into lightning, control the wind, and travel a thousand miles in an instant..."

"Wait a minute... young friend," Elder Du's face lit up when he heard this, and he quickly raised his hand to interrupt:

"This magical power has been recorded in the ancient stone tablet, and it is far less exaggerated than you say. I have observed that the great cultivator who left the image can only travel a hundred miles in an instant."

Chu Xing knew without thinking that Tang Xiaochen, that bastard, had gotten there first.

Tang Xiaochen, a dignified Hedao cultivator, couldn't even afford the "crime fee" of 100,000 spirit stones, so it was not surprising that he would do such a thing.

Chu Xing smiled awkwardly:

"Then let me introduce you to the second one. The second one is much more powerful. You must have heard of the top-level physical magical power, Fa Tian Xiang Di. Once it is used, the body can explode to a height of a thousand feet. Every gesture contains the power to destroy heaven and earth. And the one that my... my friend has mastered is called the partial version of Fa Tian Xiang Di, which can make any part of the body explode at will."

Hearing this, Elder Du's eyes lit up, and then he glanced at Qi Shunan secretly, looked at Chu Xing with some excitement and said:

"Young friend, may I have a moment to talk?"

Chu Xing was a little confused, but nodded anyway. With his master around, he didn't have to worry about him doing anything bad to him.

The two went into the inner room.

Elder Du looked a little embarrassed:

"Can the partial version of the Law of Heaven and Earth that you mentioned be controlled to a larger extent?"

"?"

Chu Xing immediately understood what this frivolous old man was thinking and nodded, "Okay."

"Where is that place?" Elder Du asked impatiently.

"No." Chu Xing's face darkened and he said unhappily.

To be honest, he didn't really want to answer the other party's question.

Elder Du was obviously very disappointed, and asked unwillingly:

"My dear, are you sure you can't do that? After all, this matter involves personal privacy. Is it possible that your friend can do it, but is just too shy to tell you?"

Chu Xing: “…”

I've secretly tried it countless times, can you tell me if I can be sure?!

Unable to bear it any longer, Chu Xing silently enlarged his arms and said quietly:

"The friend I'm talking about is actually me."

Elder Du sighed:

"That's such a shame! If it were truly feasible, our Chamber of Commerce would be flooded with people seeking to comprehend the ancient stone tablets just for this magical power."

? ? !

Chu Xing thought that even if it was possible, it would be impossible to record that place during the video recording.

Besides, the ancient stone tablet with photos in your Chamber of Commerce can't really help people comprehend magical powers. It shouldn't be a big deal to lie to others that you can do this.

Thinking of this, Chu Xing made an appropriate suggestion:

"Senior, there's no need to worry about whether it's okay or not. As long as outsiders know it's okay, that's all that matters."

Elder Du nodded thoughtfully, but soon waved his hand and flatly refused:

"How can that be? Isn't this deceiving customers? Our Chamber of Commerce never engages in false advertising."

Chu Xing curled his lips, raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder, lowering his voice and saying:

"Senior, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know? If you don't trust me, I can sign a blood contract to guarantee that I won't leak this matter."

Elder Du's heart moved, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he said hesitantly:

"But...what if someone really comprehends your magical power?"

Chu Xing smiled meaningfully at him and asked:

"Senior, do you really think that anyone can understand it?"

Elder Du was startled for a moment, then he laughed dryly and said:

"Haha, how could this old man have predicted this? To comprehend a magical power, both comprehension and fate are indispensable. Even if no one ultimately comprehends it, it can only mean that they lack comprehension or that the opportunity has not arrived yet."

While the two were chatting happily, Qi Shunan in the quiet room had a stern face, frowned, and looked down at the pair of little apples on her chest thoughtfully.

After a while, the two of them walked out of the inner room arm in arm, talking and laughing, as if they were a pair of friends regardless of age.

Afterwards, Elder Du led the master and his disciple to a room on the top floor where the ancient stone tablet with photos was stored. The room inside was still a space constructed by the Qiankun magic.

It’s just that it is no longer a desert, but a towering cliff full of ancient charm.

On the cliff, tall pines stand tall, green bamboos sway in the wind, and a simple-shaped stone tablet about ten feet high stands among the rocks.

Chu Xing originally wanted to ask his master to step aside so that he could take the photo himself. After all, when he performed the partial version of Fa Tian Xiang Di, his body would suddenly grow in size and would burst his clothes.

However, for some reason, Master disagreed and insisted on watching from the side.

The entire photo-taking process took about half an hour, and in order to make it look more upscale, a lot of special effects were added in.

The special effects artist was Qi Shunan. Throughout the filming, using the sun and moon shining together, yin and yang rotating and other strange phenomena in the sky and earth as the background was just basic operations.

Elder Du, who served as both director and action director, was extremely incompetent. Not only was he constantly absent from his duties, he also kept flattering the special effects artist. In the end, he simply let the male lead perform freely.

However, although the male protagonist was slightly dissatisfied with this, he could also understand him.

After all, he suddenly discovered that the young friend he was talking about was a great man who had transcended tribulation, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

After the filming was completed, Chu Xing signed another blood contract and successfully received a salary of 100,000 spirit stones.

After careful calculation, this trip to the Jubao Chamber of Commerce not only did not cost any spirit stones, but actually made a profit of 170,000.

Then, in order to celebrate the first opening of his business outside Qiankui Gate, Chu Xing generously took his master to Zhenxiulou for a meal.

But after finishing the meal, the master subconsciously wanted to pull him out the window to escape, which made Chu Xing more or less speechless.

After finishing the meal, he would habitually jump out of the window to escape the bill. People who have not eaten a thousand or eight hundred free meals really can't do that.

……

Meng House.

"Hello, Miss Meng. My name is Wanqiu, and I'm here to ask for a favor."

Wan Qiu saw Meng Xiang's gaze and responded with a gentle smile.

Yesterday afternoon, Chu Xing returned to her dejectedly and told her that Jiang Lihuo insisted that he go find a monk wet nurse.

Then the two of them decided to find Lan Qin and ask her to help find out the news about the monk's wet nurse in the city.

The City Lord's Mansion has a considerable influence in the Huntian Immortal City. News came out this morning - Meng Xiang, the only daughter of the Meng family, a small cultivation family, gave birth to a son two months ago.

This is why she came to the Meng Mansion to find Meng Xiang.

A hint of surprise flashed across Meng Xiang's eyes when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Meng Xiang greets Senior Wan Qiu! Senior, you can just call me by my name."

Meng Xiang stood up, forcing a smile onto her slightly haggard face. She bowed to Wan Qiuyingying and asked softly:

"I wonder what brings you here, Senior?"

Wan Qiu's pretty face flushed slightly and she looked a little embarrassed.

She hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Meng Xiao standing beside her and said politely:

"Master Meng, could you please step aside for a moment? This matter is of great importance, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"Haha, of course. You guys chat, I'll leave now."

Meng Xiao laughed. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask too much. He could only bow and turn around to stride towards the gate.

It was not until Meng Xiao disappeared from her sight that Wan Qiu looked at the woman in front of her who was not wearing any makeup. However, she did not know how to speak for a moment and fell into deep thought.

Although she was also a woman, she still felt that what she was about to say was a little difficult to say.

Seeing her hesitate to speak again and again, Meng Xiang couldn't help but smile and said:

"Senior Wanqiu, there's no need to be so reserved with me. Please feel free to speak up if you have anything to say."

Wan Qiu nodded slightly, a blush on her cheeks:

"I want to use spirit stones to buy some... Immortal Wine from you. It might take a while before I come back to get it from you. I can't tell you when exactly."

Meng Xiang smiled and waved her hands, saying politely:

"It's just a little bit of milk. Senior Wanqiu doesn't need to exchange it with spirit stones. Whenever you need it, just come and find me."

"In that case, thank you very much!" Wan Qiu thanked him happily.

Just as the two were talking happily, they suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from far away.

Amidst the noise, a noble lady in a scarlet palace dress and a golden hairpin stepped into the courtyard, surrounded by a group of monks dressed as servants.

The woman was quite wealthy and looked to be in her fifties. Her thick brows were tightly furrowed, which made her look both dignified and exuding an unquestionable majesty. Her thin lips were slightly pursed, as if she was ready to utter sharp words at any time to make people retreat. Her eyes were as sharp as cold blades.

As soon as the noble lady entered the yard, she walked straight up to Meng Xiang without saying a word, then raised her hand and slapped him hard, her eyebrows raised and she angrily scolded:

"You shameless, fickle bitch, you actually dared to sneak around to find Wen'er behind my back? Have you forgotten everything I ever said to you?"

Meng Xiang fell to the ground after being slapped, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

She raised her head with difficulty and looked at the arrogant and noble woman in front of her, her eyes full of stubbornness and pleading:

"Mother-in-law, I know you've always disliked me, but Lin'er... he's innocent after all. Please, for the sake of his being a descendant of the Liu family..."

Before Meng Xiang could finish his words, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the elegant woman again.

Another harsh slap landed heavily on her other cheek.

This time, five clearly visible finger marks quickly appeared on Meng Xiang's face, and her originally delicate and fair face became red and swollen.

"What Liu family bloodline? It's clearly a bastard born from your affair with a random man!"

The elegant woman sneered, her icy gaze like a venomous snake cast towards the baby sleeping in the cradle not far away:

"Since you are so stubborn and refuse to change, let me completely put an end to your unrealistic thoughts today!"

Before she finished speaking, the elegant lady suddenly turned around, waved her hand at the group of servants who were watching her eagerly, and said arrogantly:

"Someone, go! Throw that bastard to the ground in front of this bitch!"

"Yes!" A big man with a face full of flesh walked out from the group of servants and strode towards the cradle.
