Chapter 19: Heavenly Record
Wang Jie seen fair share of beauty in his life including His wives Zhang Mei and Liu Ying, His past life wife Su Qin, his former fiancee Tianlong Yue, his mother, his sisters, cousins, aunt and even some of his maid were stunning woman but his heart never been moved by the simplicity of a person beauty.
What's the point of beauty when their heart is rotten?
He found the young girl before him had a perfect mix between them of natural beauty without any ounce of make up to a virtuous heart. Her clothes were simple and commonly made from cheap silk but it didn't diminish her beauty if anything it enhanced it.
Obviously it went only as far as appreciation. He was a man of virtue and didn't want women to feel uncomfortable with his gaze. However, he was fortunate that his face was handsome and appealing, making him appear less creepy.
Though, if he lost his manly and handsome figure it wouldn't mean his wives would leave him. They fell in love because of his character and not because of his appearance.
Attraction and love are two different things. Love is tempered and refined to be strong enough to withstand the tribulation of life.
"We're new here, do you have any recommendations?"
Wang Jie said with his eyes glint peering through slightly in her emotion that he instinctively knew there was a sense of attraction towards him. He did not mind it since most women would be allured by his charm that applied by his bloodline.
"Oh that's why your faces are new. Well, I am Yan Fei, welcome to my mother's shop. I recommend our dumplings and stirred fried noodles!" She gave a welcoming smile and understood why people would come regularly seeing the service to be nice.
"I'm Wang Jie and these are my wives."
He introduced himself, surprising the young girl and a bit envious but didn't think too hard and immediately recovered. Wang Jie could guess what the young girl could be thinking solely based on her emotion.
"It's nice to meet you Yan Fei. My name is Zhang Mei." She said, greeting her with a friendly smile.
"I'm Liu Ying, hope we get along, Yan Fei."
Her enthusiastic voice surprised Yan Fei but had encountered quite a lot of customers like her giving enough experience to know their character.
"Um, Anyway, are you going to take my recommendation?" She nodded, then returned the subject and Wang Jie nodded.
"Yes."
Wang Jie said and Yan Fei nodded before excusing herself but not before Wang Jie read her status using the system allowing him to know the person's cultivation without using his senses.
[ Name: Yan Fei ]
[ Former name: None ]
[ Race: Human ]
[ Bloodline: None ]
[ Physique: Seamless Misty Cloud ]
[ Spiritual Root: Surging Azure Tempest Root ]
[ Cultivation: Mortal ]
[ Cultivation Method: None. ]
[ Techniques: None ]
[ Children: None ]
He checked her status using the system and his unchanging expression shifted a bit. The name of her spiritual root and physique was something he knew.
Within the historical records within the Golden Era that had managed to survive the Great Devastation Era.
It was recorded for the past thousands of years to ensure people are still able to know bits and pieces of the Golden Era.
According to legends, there were roughly 10,000 Physique and Spiritual Roots that had been recorded and documented but had been lost to the ravages of time and strife during the Great Devastation Era.
In addition, the language and literature at the time had been vastly different making it difficult to know and understand the record they had.
In the past, Human language had three major widely spread languages. The first is the Ancient human Language followed by the Enlightened Language and the current human language being the Great Yuan Language that is widely spread.
Of course there are minor tribes and groups that have their own dialect. For example, other human continents have their own language but have agreed to speak the Great Yuan Language to easily understand each other. It was easy and quick to learn.
Though, the Tianlong Empire has their own language called Tian Yuan Language.
Wang Jie, who was mostly a scholar, had studied them and learned almost all languages. It wasn't that difficult when he was a businessman from his previous life that had to interact with foreigners.
Returning to the main subject, Heavenly Records that contains information about Physique and Spiritual Roots that had been translated. These books are Volume 5, 12 and 17 of the Heavenly Records.
By combining the Volume that he had read, there are roughly 500 physique and Spiritual roots that he knows of. There are more Volumes left to be found and translated.
There had been a lot of debate and study on these records that many scholars dedicate their lives hoping to help the future of humanity.
Of course, conflicting interests slowed the progress down. Other races also have their own language and records struggling in translating long forgotten languages.
As for Yan Fei, the physique of Seamless Misty Cloud gave her unparalleled mastery of Wind Qi that was sought after by countless top rank sects due to how it guaranteed someone to rise even with Low Common Grade method.
'Still, this would put a lot of pressure on her.'
For a mortal that suddenly receives high expectations could result in many things from inflating their ego to make them blind, or place a lot of pressure into their shoulders creating a lot of inner demons.
Unless their ambition is truly to become an immortal or a god then this physique would be nothing more than a burden.
'Her spiritual root is also something else.'
Surging Azure Tempest Root was a perfect match with her physique for not only will she be able to have amazing control over Wind elements but also would absorb them without facing that much bottleneck.
"Already setting your eyes for your next target I see?" Zhang Mei teasingly said while Wang Jie unfazed by her words.
"If you're like that then I'll make sure to give all my attention to you tonight." Wang Jie causes her shudder recalling how wild he can be in bed. He always overpowers them even how much they try.
"Have mercy." Zhang Mei shrunk down already thinking how sore she'll feel after and Wang Jei chuckled.
"I'm just teasing you." He said as Zhang Mei also giggled then changed their topic.
"Anyway, why were you intently staring at her?" No one would notice him unless they personally knew him.
"Let's just say she is more than meets the eye." Wang Jie words aroused their curiosity but did not press forward even Liu Ying as carefree as she is known when to read between the lines.
"This place reminds me of the time when I was little." Liu Ying felt nostalgic, unlike Zhang Mei who lived relatively wealthy due to her father being a merchant. Wang Jie and his wives silently wait for their meal watching the people around them.
'Those clothes…'
Wang Jie noticed a young man around fifteen years old stepping inside the shop wearing an eye-catching robe. His demeanor carried an air of confidence.
'Peak Bone Refinement huh?'
He read the young man's strength and can see it was certainly a high attainment for his age in a remote area. He is likely an inner disciple from a nearby sect and possibly a grandson or son of an elder.
Reaching Bone Refinement at remote areas where the Essence were thinner and their knowledge in Martial art to be lacking would already be an amazing feat to achieve.
Normally in these areas, the common age for a person to reach Bone Refinement would be around twenty years old while the young man was already at the Peak Bone Refinement only a few more steps to reach the Blood Cleansing stage.
With this talent and speed then he would likely reach Essence Awakening at the age fourty. It was really an astonishing speed when putting the factor of their martial art manuals.
Perhaps if he were in a better environment then he would easily reach Heavenly Essence or even Origin but that is simply exaggeration. Among Wang Jie's generation, he was the quickest to reach Origin Essence at twenty years old.
In addition, Wang Jie experiences from his previous life had helped him majority of his breakthrough since he wasn't obsessed and fixated all the time nor was his ego inflated by the praise of others.
Wang Jie peered into the young man's heart seeing the darkness inside revealed that he has hidden intention. He carefully took glances on the young man and saw him glancing over to the Mercenary.
'I'm unsure if they are connected or not…'
He can conclude a large number of scenarios that were about to happen and decided to observe then take action when the opportunity reveals itself. He didn't want to gather too much attention but didn't want to simply watch from the sideline.
