I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 174: The Way to Fleece Sheep Wool

Chapter 174: The Way to Fleece Sheep Wool

The secret room’s door opened, revealing the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader and the rest of the people.
Fang Chang looked at Shen Tian with bright eyes full of gratitude, “Junior Brother, I will not waste much energy on words of gratitude!
“I, Fang Chang, shall remember your help toward me. In the future, Senior Brother will give up my life for you if you ever need it!”
Bodhisattva Kuduo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Chang finally survived the ordeal. In fact, it was a blessing in disguise, and Fang Chang now attained the Golden Core Ninth Refinement Stage!
He took out the Golden Body Potion from his bosom and pushed it toward Shen Tian. “I originally prepared this bottle of Golden Body Potion for Fang Chang to treat his injuries. But since he has recovered, I shall give it to Senior Brother Shen! Do accept it as a token of appreciation from me.”
Bodhisattva Kuduo’s action stumped Shen Tian.
What is this monk thinking about? I, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Saint, used my Nirvana Holy Liquid to save a fellow cultivator from my own sect. Why do you, an outsider, come and thank me instead?
What, are you Fang Chang’s partner? So... you are thanking me as his family member now???
Shen Tian was thinking hard about how he should reject the gesture when Bodhisattva Kuduo pressed the bottle into his hands.
“Saint, please accept this. The Nirvana Holy Liquid which you gave Fang Chang is much more valuable than this Golden Body Potion. If not for your kind contribution, Fang Chang would not have been able to survive this ordeal. Then I would be really devastated!”
Bodhisattva Kuduo was really serious about what he said. He and Fang Chang were acknowledged as the most simple-minded duo out of the whole Eastern Wilderness cultivator experts stratum. The pair had thus developed a deep friendship over the years and cared for each other even more than those who were real couples!
Heavenly Venerable White Lotus spoke then. “The Golden Body Potion is an extremely sought after treasure for Godfiend cultivators who want to establish a firm foundation. It will provide great help for those who just attained the Transcendence stage and are trying to temper their physique.
“Martial Nephew Shen Tian, if you can use the Golden Body Potion in the tempering process, your physique will definitely be much better refined.”
Bodhisattva Kuduo nodded. “Yes, Saint Shen Tian. Please, don’t stand on ceremony with me anymore, just keep it.”
Seeing that everybody was trying to persuade Shen Tian to keep the Golden Body Potion, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus couldn’t help but feel extremely envious. After all, that was the precious Golden Body Potion, which could only be formed when some Buddhist experts exhausted their life’s energies. And each time, only a little bit would be formed!
If only he could get this extreme-grade treasure, he could laugh even in his dreams!
Yet this lad is still standing on ceremony with them—well, he can give it to me if he really doesn’t want it!
To be honest, Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus was feeling jealous... again!
“Hmm, since Senior Brother Kuduo is so insistent, then I shall not reject your kind gestures anymore.”
Following which, Shen Tian took a bottle of the Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring.
“However, I cannot accept it for free. The Golden Body Potion is indeed useful, so how about I exchange it with the Nirvana Holy Liquid?”
The Sacred Leader nodded his head at that.
“The Golden Body Potion is a great Buddhist treasure, and its value is actually above that of the Nirvana Holy Liquid. Although Bodhisattva Kuduo only gave you one small bottle, this Golden Body Potion is extremely pure, and there are about a few liters of it in that bottle. If you want to exchange it with something of equivalent value, you can give back around 10L of the Nirvana Holy Liquid. That will do.”
Shen Tian nodded his head and took out 15L of the Nirvana Holy Liquid from the bottle, placing it into another bottle.
“Senior Brother Kuduo, I am very honored to have met you, so please accept 15L of Nirvana Holy Liquid from me!”
Bodhisattva Kuduo was extremely astounded when he saw Shen Tian passing him the bottle.
Although it was true that the Golden Body Potion he gave Shen Tian equated to roughly 10L of the Nirvana Holy Liquid, one shouldn’t just take this calculation at surface value. This was because the Golden Body Potion was most suitable for Godfiend cultivators to temper their bodies, but not for other purposes. This was its greatest limitation.
Meanwhile, although the Nirvana Holy Liquid was not as great as the Golden Body Potion at tempering bodies, it had the powerful effects of healing major Dao injuries, which was much more commonly encountered.
A bottle of the Nirvana Holy Liquid could save lives, and all cultivators could use it.
Bodhisattva Kuduo was almost certain that if he brought back this 15L of Nirvana Holy Liquid to the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground, he would be able to exchange it for at least eight or even 10L of the Golden Body Potion.
This was why Bodhisattva Kuduo was so shocked at how generous Shen Tian was.
“Er... This cannot do. No, I cannot take that much.”
Yet Shen Tian wasn’t thinking of all that. He was secretly very pleased with himself now!
This was because after Shen Tian took advantage of Fang Chang’s fortuitous opportunity and helped him regain his cultivation, his providence halo had started to emit red glows.
He thus concluded that it was a great idea to be on good terms with those favored people who had gold providence halos.
Shen Tian had a lot of the Nirvana Holy Liquid he had one pond of it in his Archeon Sea Ring, and he would really prefer to use ‘gallon’ as the measurement unit for this item.
But the Golden Body Potion would be very useful for Shen Tian, who had attained the Transcendence stage for his Godfiend cultivation.
If he got the Golden Body Potion, there would be a marked improvement in his physique. To Shen Tian, that meant a greater chance of survival as he roamed the world for fortuitous opportunities!
Moreover, Shen Tian had experimented before—the people who shared in fortuitous opportunities would have a better providence.
Since Shen Tian shared the Nirvana Holy Liquid with Bodhisattva Kuduo, the latter’s providence should have a marked improvement.
Given such an excellent providence, and considering how Shen Tian had established a good relationship with him now, how could his fill of fortuitous opportunities from Bodhisattva Kuduo ever end?
One shouldn’t just fish passively in still waters—they must think of ways to create fortuitous encounters for themselves!
Just like when fleecing sheep wool, one must also feed the sheep that provide the wool!
“Bodhisattva Kuduo, you treat Senior Brother Fang Chang as your brother, and so do I.
“So, doesn’t it mean that both of us are also like good brothers?
“Since both of us are brothers, then please don’t stand on ceremony for just this bit of Nirvana Holy Liquid!”
With that, Shen Tian pressed the bottle of Nirvana Holy Liquid firmly into Bodhisattva Kuduo’s hands.
“If you find it too much, you can also give it to the rest of the disciples at the Sonic Thunder Sacred Ground.
“After all, Sonic Thunder and Divine Firmament have always been on good terms, so it’s really acceptable that you take this Nirvana Holy Liquid. Senior Brother Kuduo, please don’t reject my gift.”
Bodhisattva Kuduo pondered about it for a while and finally kept the bottle.
Shen Tian observed his head intently during this action. Indeed, the golden glows from Bodhisattva Kuduo’s providence halo grew even brighter!
At the same time, Shen Tian’s eyes brightened up—he felt like he was seeing his “sheep” growing more wool right before his eyes.
Shen Tian had an idea then—he started to divide up the rest of his Nirvana Holy Liquid in the original bottle into small bottles. Each small bottle contained about three or four liters of the Nirvana Holy Liquid, and he gave a bottle each to all those who were present in the secret room.
This group of people included Qin Yundi, Zhang Yunting, Zhang Yunxi, and Zhao Hao.
When Shen Tian finished this action, he looked around and was glad to see that the whole secret room shone even more brightly with brilliant providence halos.
That was all his sheep growing fatter and “baa-ing” at him, and all of that sounded like bliss!
Meanwhile, the people who got the gift were flattered by Shen Tian’s gestures. Even though they rejected him vehemently, they still held tightly onto their bottles—”Oh, how can I accept this, Senior Brother? You shouldn’t share so much of your fortuitous opportunity with me!”
In essence, the whole secret chamber was encompassed by harmony and bliss.
...
At that moment, Jiu’er started trembling in his bosom. “Master, I sensed resentment.”
Shen Tian was a bit startled, and when he looked toward the direction Jiu’er pointed out to him, he saw an old Taoist priest staring hard at him.
Correct, that was Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus. Shen Tian swore he could see green lights of jealousy emitting from his eyes.
A slight tremor ran down Shen Tian’s spine.
Gosh, I almost spelled doom for myself! How could I forget to give gifts to my seniors?
He immediately took three more bottles of the Nirvana Holy Liquid out of his Archeon Sea Ring.
In any case, he had about 200+ bottles of it, so he did not mind at all to give them away.
Shen Tian gave each of the three bottles to the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader, and the other two Heavenly Venerables.
“Master, Martial Uncle, and Martial Aunt, I have prepared these three bottles of Nirvana Holy Liquid for you.”
Light ripples appeared on the heavenly aura on the Sacred Leader’s body surface as he looked at Shen Tian’s sincere expression.
He spoke calmly. “Tian’er is such a thoughtful disciple, and I feel very gratified by your gesture. But you should keep these items for your own use! After all, these are great treasures for healing injuries. Tian’er, you also don’t have much of them, so you don’t need to give them to me.”
Shen Tian smiled when he heard the Divine Firmament’s Sacred Leader’s words.
“Oh, this is just a small token of appreciation from me! Master, please accept it. Don’t worry about me. I have more!”
At that, Shen Tian took 10 more bottles out of his Archeon Sea Ring.
All of them gave off the same rich fragrance and glowed with silver radiance.
At once, the whole secret room went still.
Everyone looked at the smiley Shen Tian, who looked ever more humble and innocent.
They had a burning question in their minds—Really, how much more of this Nirvana Holy Liquid do you own? Is there an end to it?
The Sacred Leader looked smugly at Azure Lotus, and there were slight tremors on his body surface’s heavenly aura.
He really wanted to interview his Senior Brother how he felt then!
At that moment, in a certain corner of the secret room...
Chen Zhongtian stirred and regained consciousness.
Unfortunately, he witnessed what passed. The next moment, his body convulsed, and he dropped dead on the ground again.
Hallucination, this must be a hallucination!
What Nirvana Holy Liquid, all this is fake!
My idol, the Purple Mansion’s Saint, has powers rivaling even that of the Heavenly Thearch. He can subdue all demons in the world.
How dare the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground delude me. Just wait till I light up my Holy Fire! I will rule the whole of the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground and make you all kneel in front of me!
Ha, haha, hahaha, hahahahaha!
Those who recite the name of Senior Brother Shaoxuan shall see eternity in reincarnation!
I have seen my path to Immortality in this façade, I am about to become an Immortal now!
Yes!
