Chapter 15: The Divine Beast's Intent Crystal Imprint (Part 2)

  "Be careful, don't accidentally break the seal, the Heavenly Beast is more terrifying than a Heavenly Jewel Master of the same level." Even Ouyang Qian herself was surprised at why she would say this to Zhou Weiqing.

  Zhou Weiqing turned back and smiled at her, gave a confident gesture, then walked into the passage.

  Watching him leave, Shangguan Bing'er's eyebrows furrowed slightly. What happened to Zhou Xiaopang today? In the past, he would always spout nonsense every day, constantly pushing his own limits, but today he seemed like a different person, as if he had really become as honest and simple as his appearance suggested.

  Little did they know, Zhou Weiqing felt very uncomfortable as he walked through the passageway, and he pinched his face hard, forcing himself not to swear, unaware of how much effort it took to hold back.

  "It seems to be somewhat effective! It appears that what the old man said is indeed reasonable. If I want the beautiful squad leader to accept me, it seems that my usual approach won't work."

  Walking forward along the passage, Zhou Weiqing felt that this passage was actually heading downwards at an angle. It wasn't until he had walked for over two hundred meters that it started to turn, and after a series of twists and turns, a spacious hall finally appeared before his eyes.

  Inside the hall, there were no excessive decorations. Instead, three corridors led to the entrance, presenting themselves before Zhou Weiqing. On top of each corridor were three large golden characters: "Shi", "Zun", and "Zong".

  Next to a table sat an old man wearing a Tianzhu master's long gown, but there was no emblem on his gown indicating his rank. At this time, it seemed that because the hour was still early, no one else had arrived.

  "Pay up." The old man said indifferently to Zhou Weiqing.

  Zhou Weiqing walked forward and handed the red gold coin storage card that Shangguan Xue'er had just given him to the elder, saying: "Elder, I want to enter the Wind Attribute Totem."

  "Clan rank?" The old man was taken aback for a moment, sizing up Zhou Weiqing from head to toe.

  Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said, "Actually, I just want to see what a divine-level Heavenly Beast looks like. I've heard that this divine-level Heavenly Beast is incredibly powerful."

  The old man said lightly, "Suit yourself, as long as you pay, it's fine." As he spoke, he took out a special spatial attribute card reader for recording gold coins and quickly swiped away 10,000 gold coins, as if afraid that Zhou Weiqing would change his mind. At the same time, he handed over a red stored-value card to him and also gave him a small circular token.

  "Come out within four hours, when printing, press your hand on the head of the heavenly beast. Go."

  "Thank you, senior."

  The old man watched as Zhou Weiqing walked into the Zongji Feng Xiu Tian Beast Imprint Channel, holding a circular plate, before snorting disdainfully, "Underestimating one's own strength, I don't know if this foolish kid is trying his luck or being a prodigal son."

  In less than half a moment, the old man who had begun to doze off saw Zhou Weiqing hastily walking out of the Zong-level passage with a dejected look on his face.

  Zhou Weiqing returned the small circular badge to the old man and sighed, saying: "The Divine level Heavenly Beast is too terrifying."

  The old man hummed and said, "Young people shouldn't be too ambitious. Next time, go through the Master-level channel, there's still a chance. The Sect-level channel costs 10,000 gold coins each time, at your age, even if your father is a prince, it won't support you to successfully imprint."

  "Yes, yes, you're right." Zhou Weiqing nodded and responded, then turned around and slunk away with his tail between his legs.

  When he walked back into the corridor again, his face suddenly changed, and a triumphant smile filled his eyebrows, and he clenched his fist with force.

  In the following days, Zhou Weiqing would come to Taohua Palace once every day. Each time he entered through almost a different passageway, except for the last two days which were the same. As for Shangguan Xue'er, she rarely left her room, continuing to work hard on condensing her Wind Attribute boots.

  Five days later, Zhou Weiqing had spent all the money on the stored-value card that Shangguan Xue'er had given him and was still staying in his room, quietly cultivating his Heavenly Power as if nothing had happened.

  Shangguan Bing'er's condensed form time fully proved to Zhou Weiqing the difficulty of condensing a body, two whole months, sixty-one days were used up before she finally completed the Wind Boots' condensed form on her body.

  As the new recruit camp was about to end, she, as the camp leader, naturally had to rush back immediately. She and Zhou Weiqing bid farewell to Feng Yu and Hu Yang Ao Bo, and the two left Fei Diao City, heading straight for the Tian Gong Empire.

  "Zhou Xiaopang, I haven't had a chance to ask you, did your expansion succeed?" Shangguan Bing'er asked Zhou Weiqing as she accelerated forward.

  For the past two months, except for occasional conversations during meals, the two had hardly spoken to each other. In the small courtyard of Huan Ye's residence, she didn't dare ask Zhou Weiqing about his trip to the Heavenly Jewel Master Pavilion either. What struck her as odd was that Zhou Weiqing seemed to have genuinely become her personal bodyguard; since their second trip to the pavilion together, he hadn't said anything improper to her again.

  "Is confidentiality okay? Captain, didn't you say so? The Intention Pearl skill is the most important secret of the Heaven's Chosen." Zhou Weiqing said mysteriously.

  "Could it be that you've really succeeded?" Shangguan Bing'er asked in surprise.

  Wu Wei Qing smiled and said: "You will know later."

  "Never mind." Shangguan Bing'er hummed in a bad mood and stopped paying attention to him, continuing on her way.

  As time passed, Sangyu felt that Zhou Weiqing's Heavenly Power had made significant progress, although it was still not comparable to her own, but the duration of his power increase was much longer than before.

  In fact, when Zhou Weiqing's Tianzhu awakened initially, he didn't actually have a cultivation base equivalent to four Heavenly Jewels' worth of Heavenly Energy. It was only after the sudden breakthrough that his realm reached that level. With these two months of cultivation, the Heavenly Energy within his body had indeed become much more abundant.

  All the way, Zhou Weiqing was still cooking, although he occasionally exchanged a few words with Shangguan Bing'er, but compared to when they came, it was still like two different people. Until ten days later when the two returned to the military camp, Shangguan Bing'er still felt a bit awkward. No matter what, Zhou Weiqing was still the man who had saved her life, whether she loved him or hated him, she couldn't help but observe him more closely, and even she herself couldn't say whether Zhou Weiqing's change was good or bad.

  Outside Tian Gong City, military camp.

  "Captain, you're back." Xiao Se looked at Shangguan Yueling with a smile and gave her a military salute.

  Shangguan Bing'er and Zhou Weiqing had just returned to the military camp, changed into their uniforms, and she came to her own central tent. After leaving for nearly three months, she was eager to understand the new soldier's situation.

  "Captain Xiao, how's the situation at the new recruit camp? Shouldn't it be ending soon?"

  Xiao Xi glanced at Zhou Weiqing standing behind Shangguan Xue'er and said, "There are still three days before the new recruit camp ends. You shouldn't ask me about the situation in the new recruit camp. Didn't you assign Squadron Leader Mao Li to be in charge of this batch of new recruits before you left?"
