Chapter 100: The Lesser Sorcerer Meets the Greater Sorcerer

The True Practitioner of Pure Emptiness, upon hearing the inquiry, couldn’t help but feel invigorated and exclaimed:

“Hmm! Danzi, this time your master has great hope of breaking through the bottleneck at the late Tribulation stage! She Meier, since you are studying the Paper Painting Talisman Technique at the Pure Emptiness Sect, you are no longer an outsider. Therefore, here you may move about freely without restraint. Danzi, Mingzi, Congzi, Chizi, do whatever you need to do. I must go now to refine the Nine Yang Golden Pill!”

With that, he hurried straight toward the alchemy room.

Yan Chixia watched the True Practitioner’s retreating figure and smiled, saying, “Look how delighted the master is—he’s disregarding everything else! Well, it’s understandable. The bottleneck at the late Tribulation stage has troubled him for many years, and it’s always been difficult to overcome... Now, with the Heavenly Uranium Crystal, there is great hope for a breakthrough. It would be strange if he weren’t happy.”

“She Meier, how do you find it? I wasn’t lying yesterday, was I?” asked She Meier opportunely.

Yan Chixia replied, “She Meier, you weren’t lying—just for that, I will teach you the Paper Painting Talisman Technique properly.”

“Great!” She Meier was very pleased. Suddenly, she noticed that Yan Chixia and the others were all wearing “Storage Rings.” She was quite surprised and asked, “Oh? Yan Chixia, Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, Song Ta’er, you all have Storage Rings now?”

This question hit a chord with Tu Xiaomeng, who immediately chimed in, “Yes, yes! Sister Meier, we just finished our apprenticeship ceremony, and the master gave each of us a Storage Ring. Hehe, I’m so embarrassed. Sister Meier, our Storage Rings are still empty; compared to your overflowing one, we are truly small fry!”

Hearing Tu Xiaomeng’s perfectly timed compliment, She Meier couldn’t help but feel a sense of superiority and said, “Xiaomeng, don’t be discouraged... Actually, my Storage Ring isn’t overflowing; it just contains a few magical treasures.”

“Oh! Sister Meier, you’re so modest!” Tu Xiaomeng beamed. “I heard from Brother Yan that you have a super invisibility treasure called the Heavenly Net Shadowless Veil... Hehe, sister, can you show it to me?”

“No problem!” She Meier perked up immediately. “Xiaomeng, since Brother Yan told you about the Heavenly Net Shadowless Veil, he must have also mentioned my super magical treasure, the Wish-Granting Divine Vessel, right?”

“Oh my!” Tu Xiaomeng feigned surprise, “Sister, you’re truly prophetic! Exactly so!”

“Good! Xiaomeng, I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll first let you see my Heavenly Net Shadowless Veil. After that, I’ll invite you all to take a ride on my Wish-Granting Divine Vessel and tour around the Pure Emptiness Sect.”

She Meier stepped forward a dozen paces, then stood there silently reciting incantations. Immediately, a veil as thin as cicada wings—pure white and delicate—was summoned and appeared in the palm of her jade hand. With a casual flick, the Heavenly Net Shadowless Veil flew overhead and floated down slowly like a circular canopy...

Yan Chixia had seen it before and was not surprised; Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, and Song Ta’er all widened their eyes in amazement. The veil drifted gently down... In an instant, She Meier, standing below, vanished from sight beneath it; then, the veil itself suddenly dissolved into thin air.

“Ah?” Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, and Song Ta’er all gasped, dumbfounded.

From within the veil, She Meier couldn’t help but proudly say, “How about it, Tu Xiaomeng? Quite an eye-opener, right?”

“Ah!” Tu Xiaomeng exclaimed, “Sister Meier, I envy you so much to have such a marvelous treasure!”

“Hehe,” She Meier laughed happily, “Xiaomeng, want to come inside and experience the feeling of invisibility?”

“I do, I really do!” Tu Xiaomeng eagerly replied. “But Sister Meier, I can’t see you; how do I get in?”

Before she finished speaking, a slender jade hand suddenly appeared out of thin air a dozen paces ahead. She Meier called out, “Xiaomeng, see my hand? Grab it, and you can come in.”

“Okay!” Tu Xiaomeng agreed at once and hurried forward to grasp She Meier’s hand. With a gentle pull, she entered the Heavenly Net Shadowless Veil and immediately saw She Meier’s radiant, blooming smile.

Bai Xiaoyue and Yan Chixia stood together, witnessing this incredible sight. Bai Xiaoyue couldn’t help but feel her heart surge: “Brother, the world of cultivation truly encompasses everything and is capable of anything!”

“Yes!” Yan Chixia also sighed deeply, “Sister, as long as we seize the day and train diligently, all our imaginations have the potential to come true!”

Song Ta’er stood silently nearby, unsure what to say. Suddenly, Tu Xiaomeng called out joyfully:

“Song Ta’er, I see you! Can you see me?”

“No!” Song Ta’er answered loudly, “Xiaomeng, aren’t you bored hiding inside the Heavenly Net Shadowless Veil?”

“Not bored at all...” Tu Xiaomeng replied. Before she could finish, suddenly “whoosh,” both she and She Meier’s figures reappeared. It turned out She Meier had stored the veil away into her Storage Ring.

Tu Xiaomeng was momentarily stunned. At that moment, She Meier silently recited an incantation and immediately summoned an object from her Storage Ring, which appeared in her jade palm. It resembled a diamond drill but was not made of metal; it was transparent and hollow, about the size of a peach pit, bulging in the middle with pointed ends—small, exquisite, and delicate.

Tu Xiaomeng’s eyes lit up with delight as she exclaimed, “The Wish-Granting Divine Vessel?”

“That’s right!” She Meier said proudly. “Xiaomeng, this is the Wish-Granting Divine Vessel. Now, I want to invite you all to ride it and feel what flying is like.”

With that, she casually tossed the Wish-Granting Divine Vessel into the air and said, “Wish-Granting Divine Vessel, as I desire.” Instantly, it expanded and transformed into a transparent flying ship with a sealed cabin door, hovering motionless above She Meier’s head.

“Ah?” Bai Xiaoyue, Tu Xiaomeng, and Song Ta’er all exclaimed involuntarily, “The Wish-Granting Divine Vessel—how amazing!”

“Hehe...” She Meier beamed proudly and beckoned to Bai Xiaoyue, Song Ta’er, and Yan Chixia, “Come over here, everyone. Let’s all ride the Wish-Granting Divine Vessel together.”

As she spoke, she summoned the vessel down, and it landed steadily on the ground before automatically opening its sealed cabin door.

“Ah, wonderful!” Tu Xiaomeng was ecstatic and jumped inside first; then Song Ta’er, Bai Xiaoyue, Yan Chixia, and She Meier all followed and sat down inside the vessel.

The cabin door closed automatically.

“Everyone, take your seats. The Wish-Granting Divine Vessel is about to take off!” She Meier said with a radiant smile. Then, she spoke the words, “Wish-Granting Divine Vessel, as I desire,” and the vessel slowly ascended. When it reached about fifteen feet high, it stopped climbing and began accelerating, flying in circles around the Pure Emptiness Sect.
