Chapter 238: Chu Xin: Using My Brain Is More Tiring Than Fighting
“Not taking in idlers?”
“Clearly, they can’t read.”
That Lei Zhou Cultivator muttered in his heart while taking the thunder-attribute cultivation method. He flipped through it and found that its grade was only average, reaching only the middle grade.
The cultivation methods of the Nine Provinces were divided into low, middle, high, and top grades. Above the top grade were Saint and Emperor grades.
“Wait a minute.”
Chu Xin suddenly spoke and took out a Truth Talisman. She blinked her big eyes and said, “Uncle, I have to put a Truth Talisman on you, in case you read it wrong. Daddy said that one can’t practice cultivation methods carelessly.”
The corner of the Lei Zhou Cultivator’s mouth twitched slightly, but he still nodded and willingly allowed the Truth Talisman to be placed on him.
The key was, even if he didn’t want to, he couldn’t win in a fight. He might as well be cooperative and avoid some physical suffering.
After the Truth Talisman was applied, the Lei Zhou Cultivator began to read the thunder-attribute cultivation method, word by word.
After listening to it once, Chu Xin turned to Chu Chen and asked, “Little Brother, did you memorize it?”
“Yes! I memorized it. This is much simpler than the saber techniques Daddy taught me,” Chu Chen said confidently.
Chu Xin nodded and removed the Truth Talisman from the Lei Zhou Cultivator.
“You’re not listening anymore?” The Lei Zhou Cultivator was a little surprised.
“We’ve memorized it all, no need to read anymore.”
Chu Xin waved her hand, and then she and Chu Chen sat cross-legged nearby and began to cultivate the thunder techniques.
“They memorized it all after just one listen?”
The Lei Zhou Cultivator was dumbfounded. He also cultivated a middle-grade cultivation method, and it took him a full seven days to memorize it completely. This gap was too big.
He figured that these two brats would need to cultivate for many days, so he also sat cross-legged nearby and continued to refine his newly acquired Saint Weapon.
About a quarter of an hour later, Chu Xin and Chu Chen, who were in the midst of cultivation, opened their eyes almost simultaneously. They extended their small hands, and purple arcs of electricity flickered within them, instantly condensing into a head-sized thunderball.
“They’ve already mastered it?”
The Lei Zhou Cultivator was startled awake. He looked at the thunderballs in the two brats’ hands and was instantly stunned. In just a short quarter of an hour, not only had these two brats mastered the thunder technique, but the pressure emanating from the thunderballs made even him, a Peak Martial Venerable, feel immense pressure.
In other words, in just a quarter of an hour, they had cultivated the thunder technique to the Peak Martial Venerable realm? Were they even human? They were simply two monsters.
“Alright, we can go now.”
Chu Xin dispersed the thunderball in her hand and summoned Purple-Haired Chu Xin, using a Transformation Talisman to change her hair color to black. Then, along with Purple-Haired Chu Chen, whose hair color had also been changed, they left the God Coffin and flew towards the Thunder Sect.
As Battle Bodies, they could use any of their main bodies’ abilities, but the power was slightly weaker than the main body’s.
After leaving the God Coffin, Purple-Haired Chu Xin and Purple-Haired Chu Chen removed the masks on their faces. Apart from Long Yufei and her group, no one had seen their true faces. Although Martial Emperors could see through their masks, the place where they actually met the eight Martial Emperors was in the Provincial Sea. The Emperor’s Sense of those eight Martial Emperors was affected by the Provincial Sea, and their power was greatly weakened, so they couldn’t see their faces clearly.
And Chu Xin and Chu Chen themselves did not have True Qi, nor did they have the power of Laws or Rules. They looked like two ordinary children, and even those Martial Emperors could not determine their identities through their aura.
Purple-Haired Chu Xin and Purple-Haired Chu Chen used thunder techniques to show themselves, and no one would think that they were those two brats.
After the two Purple-Haired Battle Bodies left, Chu Xin looked at the Lei Zhou Cultivator again and asked, “What’s the name of the other Sacred Ground? What abilities do they cultivate? Where is it?”
The Lei Zhou Cultivator swallowed and carefully glanced at the two brats. These two brats were really vengeful, and he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend them. Thinking of this, he quickly said, “The other Sacred Ground is called the Divine Spear Sect, and they specialize in spear techniques. At your speed, flying south for about half a day should get you there. But I haven’t heard that the Divine Spear Sect is recruiting new disciples recently. It might be a bit difficult for you to sneak in.”
“Then we won’t sneak in, we’ll just barge in.”
◈◈◈
Chu Chen waved his chubby little fist, looking eager to try.
“Barge in?”
The Lei Zhou Cultivator was stunned. This was indeed in line with the two brats’ style of doing things. But the problem was, that was a Sacred Ground. Besides the two Martial Emperors, there were at least a dozen Peak Martial Saints, and even more Martial Saints of other realms. Was it a bit too reckless to just barge in?
He turned to look at Chu Xin. After this period of contact, he found that this brat was sometimes very rational and resourceful. She should stop them, right?
And at this moment, Chu Xin was once again reading her little book of Thirty-Six Stratagems. After a while, she suddenly closed the book, nodded her little head, and said in her childish voice, “That’s right, barge in.”
It’s over!
The Lei Zhou Cultivator slapped his forehead. He shouldn’t have had any expectations for this brat. She was just a brat after all, how could she have so much rationality and strategy?
“However, we have to wait until the Thunder Sect’s Battle Bodies are exposed before barging in. We can ambush them near the Divine Spear Sect first. Little Brother, summon six Battle Bodies.”
Chu Xin giggled and summoned her six Battle Bodies, and used Transformation Talismans to change all of their hair to black. Then, along with Chu Chen’s six Battle Bodies, a total of twelve Battle Bodies, they all left the God Coffin and flew south.
“Big Sister, what are we doing now?”
Chu Chen asked curiously.
“Wait a minute.”
Chu Xin picked up the Thirty-Six Stratagems again and flipped through it. After a while, she looked up at the Lei Zhou Cultivator and asked, “Uncle, besides Cangzhou, which other province borders Lei Zhou? Oh right, Daddy seems to have given me a map of the Nine Provinces, I almost forgot.”
Then Chu Xin rummaged around for a while and took out a map, carefully studying it.
This map had been specially processed by Chu Feng so that Chu Xin could roughly understand it.
“Found it, what’s this place called? How long will it take to get there?”
Chu Xin pointed to a Provincial Sea symbol on the map and asked the Lei Zhou Cultivator.
The Lei Zhou Cultivator took a look and said, “That’s the Thunder-Wasteland Provincial Sea, which leads to the Wasteland Province. The Wasteland Province is allied with Cangzhou, and has an average relationship with Lei Zhou. At your speed, flying west for about three days should get you to the Thunder-Wasteland Provincial Sea. But from what I know about the Sacred Grounds, they have probably already sealed off all paths leading to the Thunder-Wasteland Provincial Sea. You will definitely be discovered if you show up.”
“Got it.”
Chu Xin nodded, put away the Thirty-Six Stratagems and the map, summoned her last Battle Body, and used a Transformation Talisman to change its hair to black. Then, she had Chu Chen summon his last Battle Body as well.
“Little Brother, let’s go out.”
Chu Xin called Chu Chen, and together with the Lei Zhou Cultivator, they left the God Coffin. Then, the God Coffin tore through the void and disappeared.
“Big Sister, where are you sending the God Coffin?”
Chu Chen asked curiously.
“To the Thunder-Wasteland Provincial Sea.” Chu Xin said with a giggle.
“Huh? Didn’t Uncle say that we would definitely be discovered if we went there?” Chu Chen asked puzzledly.
“That’s the point, we want them to discover us.”
Chu Xin had a profound expression on her face, then she waved her little hand and said, “Little Brother, grill some more octopus. I’m a little hungry. Using my brain is more tiring than fighting, I wonder if I’ll lose hair in the future.”
