CHAPTER 327: CHAPTER 47: ACTIVATION, HALF-SAINT PATTERN

Over three thousand patterns, precisely over three thousand intricate patterns. This "Ten Feet Pattern" that’s no bigger than the size of two palms actually contains more than three thousand independent yet interconnected lines.

Each line’s hook, dot, horizontal stroke, and slash are all unique with no similarities. It’s not just about avoiding engraving errors; even if one were to copy them with the pattern right in front, replicating it exactly would be extremely challenging, let alone continually copying without breaks.

Such thoughts would likely occur to anyone who sees this pattern.

However, that ’anyone’ does not include Yue Jinghua.

In the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, Yue Jinghua had merely been carefully observing at the table, without any other actions.

Yun Luo watched from the side, her lips curling up disdainfully. She mistook Yue Jinghua’s hesitation and reluctance to start as a sign of backing down.

But at this moment, Yue Jinghua...

She slowly closed her eyes, and her torrential spiritual power began to navigate through her mind.

A pot of tea earlier, Yue Jinghua’s eyes had been like a super high-speed computer, breaking down every stroke of this brand new Spiritual Pattern and methodically recombining them.

It was like a maze, seemingly intricate and complex, but as she released her full spiritual power, it was as if a cool breeze suddenly blew through the maze.

After exploring time and time again, the golden lines meandered and spiraled in her mind. One, the only one, the pathway unfolded completely in Yue Jinghua’s brain.

Her fingertips, where a supposedly ordinary decorative ring should be, the Nanhuang Pearl suddenly emitted a subtle glow, and it was at this moment that Yue Jinghua opened her eyes.

With a flicker of her hands, five or six different types of "Nine Heavens Waterfall" appeared between her fingers, and her gaze swept over the decorative Jade Vine placed in a corner of the room. She gathered her energy, her fingers deftly transforming.

"!"

Yue Jinghua had actually chosen the right option!

Yun Luo might seem overbearing and unruly, but in truth, she was incredibly meticulous. Consider how an arrogant, disrespectful, and temperamental young miss could engrave such elaborate Spiritual Patterns.

Just then, while she was drawing the "Spiritual Pattern," she also played another trick.

This Spiritual Pattern required the use of five different tattoo needles. She had thought, even if Yue Jinghua was naturally clever and happened to memorize all the patterns, as a beginner, it was impossible for her to use five or six different sizes of Spirit Pattern Needles simultaneously.

Yet, Yue Jinghua surprised her once more.

Originally hoping to enjoy a spectacle from the sidelines, Yun Luo found herself holding her breath. Just now, the various sizes of Spirit Pattern Needles that Yue Jinghua had selected... Yun Luo had not specified that the Spiritual Pattern required different sizes of spirit needles, and Yue Jinghua had also said she was a novice in the realm of Spiritual Patterns, never having used a set of tattoo needles before. Yet, in her first attempt to use the set, she had selected all the appropriate needles.

The crystal-clear needles shone with an enchanting light, Yue Jinghua focused, and the Spirit Pattern Needles in her hands were like dancing sunshine, casting specks of light over the surface of the Jade Vine. Gradually, the surface of the vine became covered with fine, intricate patterns.

Half a cup of tea time had passed, and the Spirit Wood Pattern had roughly taken shape.

At this moment, we’ve entered a very crucial part. The next few strokes of the Spiritual Pattern require the simultaneous use of five tattoo needles, with the interval between each not exceeding the blink of an eye. Otherwise, even if it’s just a bit too long, the Spirit Wood Pattern would be completely ruined.

Yue Jinghua’s hands suddenly disappeared.

"Ah!" Yun Luo couldn’t help but cry out, but she immediately covered her mouth, fearing that she couldn’t restrain herself from shouting.

Yue Jinghua’s hands hadn’t really disappeared. On the contrary, it was because her hand movements were so fast at this moment, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, astonishingly quick. Her fingers switched between the five needles at an inconceivable speed, so fast that one would think they were seeing things, causing her hands to vanish as well.

"Swish," five Finger Winds swept by, causing Yun Luo’s body to tremble slightly.

Yue Jinghua in front had already stopped her movements, and those five or six tattoo needles had returned to the Jade Box.

The once waist-high ornamental Jade Vine was growing rapidly, too quick for the naked eye to catch up.

The originally fragile vine that would break upon pinching had grown from the size of a thumb to as thick as Yun Luo’s waist, comparable to a water bucket. The surface had developed strong mottled patterns as if cracked.

It climbed while swaying its terrifying body, looking like an immensely strong enraged python, ready to smash the wooden hut at any moment.

"Crack," the sturdy birch beams of the wooden hut were easily twisted and snapped. Next, the roof of the hut looked as if it would break open as well.

"Activation, you actually managed to awaken an ordinary Jade Vine with just one Spirit Pattern Needle; this is almost a Holy..." Yun Luo couldn’t finish her words, feeling as if a hand had jammed in her throat, stuffing back the sarcasm and ridicule she was about to blurt out.

Plants on the continent also varied, like ordinary plants and spirit wood.

Before being spiritualized, the Jade Vine was just an ordinary plant, not spirit wood. It had no consciousness of its own, being just an ordinary vine, and unless it encountered a place rich with nature’s spiritual energy, it would never be able to form a spirit core in its lifetime, let alone confront enemies.

Just now, Yue Jinghua took only half a cup of tea time to engrave the "Ten Feet Body Pattern" on the Jade Vine, and it actually awakened.

That was a thorough activation, from an ordinary plant to spirit wood, a leap in grade. Such a Spiritual Pattern should no longer be referred to as a Spiritual Pattern, but more appropriately called a Holy Rune. However, since the "Ten Feet Pattern" itself only belongs to Middle Level Spirit Wood Pattern, no matter how much the needle technique is enhanced, it still cannot be called a Holy Rune; it can only be considered a Half-Saint Pattern.

But even if it’s only a Half-Saint Pattern, for someone who’s only seen the "Ten Feet" once, it’s almost a miracle.

What’s even more bizarre is that Yue Jinghua only took half a cup of tea time, twice as fast as Yun Luo’s hands-on carving.

"You, you’re obviously disguising as a rookie to catch a veteran— you’re not a newcomer," Yun Luo was utterly infuriated, for her, nothing was more humiliating than losing to a so-called Spirit Pattern rookie in the field of Spiritual Patterns.

"By the Beast God Gore, I have never seen this Spiritual Pattern. Miss Yun Luo, your ’Nine Heavens Waterfall’ set is indeed a fine needle, with a superb feel when tattooing and incredibly precise in withdrawing," Yue Jinghua’s ability to control the process so freely was not only due to her astonishing Cultivation in spiritual power but also because of the ring on her finger inlaid with the Nanhuang Pearl, allowing her to instantly carve Spiritual Patterns. Naturally, the effect was much better than Yun Luo’s.

This secret was something Yue Jinghua would not share with Yun Luo, and of course, she would also not tell Yun Luo how much benefit this freely learned "Ten Feet Pattern" would bring to her and Fengdan County.
