141: Chapter 141 Am I completely useless?

Mo Zixing took the item out of the box.

It was a fine armor, completely cyan in color, woven from thin, cicada-wing-like bamboo slivers.

It felt quite light in his hand, with almost no perceptible weight.

He moved his thoughts.

He opened the System to appraise it.

[Item: Essence Wind Bamboo Armor]

[Grade: Golden Core Stage Medium Grade]

[trait: Energy Convergence]

[This armor is forged from the life-bound bamboo node of a century-old Essence Wind Bamboo Demon leader. It carries a refreshing wood attribute Qi and can moderately reduce the wood attribute Cultivation Technique Qi consumption for the wearer, while also providing impressive defensive effects against physical attacks.]

Bamboo armor made from a century-old Bamboo Demon.

And it is of the Golden Core Stage Medium Grade.

It looks quite good.

Great Elder Qin Cangyue must have put quite a lot of thought into this.

Mo Zixing nodded in satisfaction.

With a thought, he injected a trace of wood attribute Qi into the bamboo armor in his hand.

A verdant light instantly flared up, forming a thin protective barrier over his body.

He tried to strike it with a bit of force.

The shield emitted a crisp sound, with no other feedback.

He didn't feel anything either.

It seems this item's defensive power is truly quite good.

Plus, it can reduce a certain amount of wood attribute Qi consumption.

It just so happens to facilitate the part where he uses wood attribute Qi when activating his Flying Sword.

It can be considered a pleasant surprise.

"This bamboo armor is made from Materials I obtained back then in the Secret Realm after risking my life to slay a Bamboo Demon leader. It took the best Artifact Refiner in the Sect a whole month to forge it."

Great Elder Qin Cangyue watched him examine the bamboo armor and introduced it with a smile:

"Not only is its defense comparable to refined steel, but after putting it on, circulating your Qi will also feel much lighter."

"Then many thanks to the Grand Elder for the trouble."

Mo Zixing put away the Essence Wind Bamboo Armor and gave a slight nod in thanks.

"No need for such formalities."

Seeing him accept it, Great Elder Qin Cangyue waved his hand:

"Then I won't disturb you any further. I'll return to the Sect main hall to prepare for our departure."

"I will wait for you outside the Sect when the time comes."

"Alright."

Mo Zixing replied.

Watching Great Elder Qin Cangyue's back disappear into the distance, he finally turned and walked toward the Technique Pavilion on Qingdan Peak.

He had been out for quite a while.

He wondered if Liu Qingyan and Jiang Yuwei had managed to select suitable defensive Cultivation Techniques for him.

Mo Zixing leaped into the air.

He activated his Movement Technique.

His figure transformed into an afterimage.

Within a few breaths, he arrived near the Technique Pavilion.

From afar, he saw three people gathered at the entrance of the Technique Pavilion.

Liu Qingyan and Jiang Yuwei were each holding a Cultivation Technique book, standing below the steps.

And in front of them, Sect Master Bai Ruotong was standing with her hands on her hips.

Her small stature stood in the center of the steps, yet she radiated a powerful Aura that didn't match her image.

The pressure of the Golden Core Ninth Level was being emitted faintly.

The female Disciple in charge of guarding the pavilion had long since been scared into hiding inside the Technique Pavilion, only daring to peek out through the door crack.

"You two, stop right there."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong lifted her chin and said bluntly:

"I said it before, these things are not worthy of being used by him."

"Sect Master Bai, these are all the best defensive Cultivation Techniques in the Technique Pavilion."

Liu Qingyan frowned and said patiently:

"We specifically picked them out based on the characteristics of Mo Zixing's Spiritual Root."

"What good things could the Scripture Pavilion possibly have?"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong scoffed:

"These are at most only suitable for the ordinary Elders and Disciples in the Sect."

"Given his talent and strength, practicing these would truly be a waste."

Jiang Yuwei clutched the Cultivation Technique in her arms and could only mumble softly:

"But Senior Brother said to let us help him choose..."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong glanced at her:

"Do you understand Cultivation, or do I? I said these Cultivation Techniques are not suitable for him."

"What is going on?"

Mo Zixing stepped forward quickly and asked.

Hearing his voice, Sect Master Bai Ruotong's originally tense little face immediately blossomed into a smile.

Her hair was still a bit messy, clearly having just woken up not long ago.

But she didn't seem to care, just retracted her Aura and ran over in small steps:

"Mo Zixing, you finally came!"

The aggressive and arrogant Aura from just a moment ago vanished without a trace.

Only full dependence and joy remained.

The speed of her mood swing left Mo Zixing somewhat stunned.

Seeing Sect Master Bai Ruotong like this, the corner of Liu Qingyan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

But she still endured it and explained to Mo Zixing:

"We had originally already selected a few relatively suitable defensive Cultivation Techniques for you, and were just preparing to set off to send them to you quickly."

"But we ran into Sect Master Bai, and she stopped us."

"She insisted that these Cultivation Techniques are all bad and wouldn't let us give them to you."

"They are bad."

Sect Master Bai Ruotong huffed, clinging tightly to Mo Zixing's arm and refusing to let go:

"What they brought is too ordinary."

"These are already the highest-grade defensive Cultivation Techniques in the Technique Pavilion."

Liu Qingyan frowned and argued.

"Yes, yes!"

Jiang Yuwei hurriedly nodded, clutching the Cultivation Technique in her arms, her little face full of seriousness:

"Elder Liu and I searched for a long time, moved out all the ancient books on defense, and picked the two most suitable ones!"

"So what if you searched for a long time?"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong pouted, sounding still very displeased:

"What good things could be in the Technique Pavilion?"

"He is now a Heavenly Dao Golden Core Cultivator. If he practices these pieces of junk, when a guy with a high Realm strikes with one move, they could even shatter your shield."

"Sect Master Bai, you can't say it like that."

Liu Qingyan also got a bit of a temper:

"We are also sincerely doing this for Zixing's own good; these Cultivation Techniques have all been carefully considered."

"I am also sincerely doing this for his own good!"

Sect Master Bai Ruotong immediately retorted, her voice involuntarily raising a notch:

"I know better than you how ruthless the methods of those people outside are!"

"I have lived for so many years; I have seen more schemes and tricks than you have eaten rice!"

Watching the two of them arguing more and more fiercely, Jiang Yuwei shrank her neck and secretly hid closer to Mo Zixing's side.

Mo Zixing wanted to speak up to smooth things over.

But Sect Master Bai Ruotong suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, drooping her head and looking at him aggrievedly.

She shook Mo Zixing's arm, but her voice carried an accusation:

"You clearly promised me before that you would never ignore my existence."

"But what I see is that you have already arranged everything."

"Then what about me?"

"Am I completely useless?"

Once these words were spoken, the air instantly froze.

The retort on Liu Qingyan's lips came to an abrupt halt.

Jiang Yuwei also blinked her eyes.

She looked at Sect Master Bai Ruotong, then at Mo Zixing, a strange expression appearing on her face.

They closed their mouths in unison.

Three pairs of eyes focused entirely on him.
