Chapter 212: Old Li Is Impressive!

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

However

Even though the Essence Devouring Art was domineering, the side effects were equally great.

Essence energy, internal force, blood energy, and soul power were still fine. They were the same for almost everyone.

However, there were many people with different attributes in true energy and true essence.

When these true energy and true essence of different attributes were absorbed into his dantian, the Essence Devouring Art would only forcefully stick them together instead of completely melting and fusing them.

When a martial artist’s cultivation is thereby strengthened, the martial artist’s consciousness would naturally be stronger when they gained the upper hand.

However, if one day he was at a disadvantage, his chaotic aura would immediately explode and he would fall into Qi Deviation.

Therefore, this was a heretic art!

Of course, when absorbing true energy and true essence, it was possible to absorb those of only one attribute

In that case, the probability of the side effects erupting would be very low.

Due to the lack of one volume, Su Jingxing was unable to determine if he could advance to the top ranks by cultivating the Essence Devouring Art.

But it should be possible.

Wasn’t the black-robed old man whom he had chopped into two in the top ranks?

The old fellow’s true essence cultivation was very deep. If it were any other ordinary third-grade martial artist, they would not be his match at all.

And the reason for his deep true essence cultivation was most likely due to the absorption using the Essence Devouring Art.

As members of the Hundred Flower Valley, Yan Zi and the female disciple who had died previously most likely cultivated internal exercises with similar attributes.

The black-robed old man must have specially chosen them.

If it were anyone else, they would probably jump in excitement after obtaining the Essence Devouring Art.

Although Su Jingxing was surprised, he didn’t take it to heart.

Because it wasn’t attractive to him.

True energy and true essence?

He could obtain them through extracting cards.

On the contrary, the side effects which might erupt just any day was completely an invisible bomb. No one knew when it would explode.

However, the absorption and devouring ability of the Essence Devouring Art gave Su Jingxing an idea.

This idea could be added to his self-created martial art.

‘Mm, even though Su Jingxing had yet to decide on what kind of martial art to create, similar thoughts had been accumulating.

Even the Blood Drop Heretic Art had reference points, let alone the Essence Devouring Art.

However, he was still in the midst of considering how to fuse the unique characteristics of multiple martial arts.

He flew back the way he came.

When he found Yan Zi, the emaciated woman was still alive.

But she wasn’t far from death.

‘The aura on her body was extremely weak, her blood energy was almost completely withered, and her heartbeat was also barely audible.

“Is… is he… dead?”

Yan Zi, who was lying on the ground, opened her mouth weakly and looked at Su Jingxing, who was wearing a mask.

“Dead.”

Su Jingxing replied coolly, “What last words do you have?”

“Good… good…”

Yan Zi narrowed her eyes and her heaving chest calmed down.

After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes and asked under her breath, “Can… you… bring my… corpse… back to… the Wang… Family… of Qinghe… and… hand it to… my… senior sister. … Tell her… that… Master… has always thought… highly… of her…”

“Sure,” replied Su Jingxing readily.

“Thank… you…” Yan Zi spat out the words with difficulty. Her head tilted to the side and she passed.

[Card+1]

Instead of taking out the card he had extracted in a hurry, Su Jingxing approached the corpse and began to search it.

Still nothing.

He did not have any hopes to begin with so he was naturally not disappointed.

Putting the corpse into his palm space, he got up and left, returning to Qinghe City.

With the corpse in his palm space, the Corpse-raising Devil Insect Egg could forget about coming to it.

As for agreeing to help deliver the corpse.

Firstly, it was on the account of the card, the True Essence Card!

The Function Card extracted from Yan Zi’s corpse was a True Essence Card with five years of cultivation.

‘The second reason was that Hundred Flower Valley had a good reputation and was considered a legitimate large sect.

Just like the Shaolin and Wudang on Earth.

Even though Su Jingxing had no intention of joining them, of course, the Hundred Flower Valley wouldn’t accept him either——the Hundred Flower Valley only accepted female disciples,

Su Jingxing didn’t mind befriending the Hundred Flower Valley.

After all, it was dropping off a corpse while on his way.

Back in Qinghe City, Su Jingxing was in no hurry to go to the Wang Family.

It was better to deliver the corpse at night.

In particular, there was an elder in Hundred Flower Valley who Yan Zi addressed as Senior Sister.

‘Who knew what realm this senior sister was in and how strong she was?

Su Jingxing had no intention of exposing his true identity to the other party.

He planned to use his true energy clone to deliver the corpse.

And the night was more suitable for true energy clones to move around.

So.

Back at his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Su Jingxing first turned on his computer and went online. He sent the news that the Mountain Dragon Salamander King of the Ten Miles Fragrance Sea Forest was about to break through to the intermediate-level to the official email of the Sifang

Prefecture.

‘Whether the other party believed it or not was none of Su Jingxing’s business.

After that, he took out the Buddha Flame Root and placed it in the Dragon Melting Cauldron to cook.

He released his true energy to heat up the bottom of the cauldron.

Before long, a fragrance wafted out and filled the room.

Just in case, Su Jingxing released more true energy to form a barrier around the Dragon Melting Cauldron to prevent the fragrance from spreading and attracting others.

With more than 800 years of true energy cultivation and a backup True Energy Card, while Su Jingxing remained vigilant, he unleashed his strength to his heart’s content.

The process lasted for more than an hour.

Opening the lid, he checked the situation inside the Dragon Melting Cauldron. The Buddha Flame Root had disappeared, turning into a pool of liquid.

After slightly dissipating the heat, he took out all the liquid and swallowed it in small mouthfuls.

As he swallowed, he circulated the Nine Steps Trampling Heaven to boost his true energy attribute.

After consuming all the liquid, Su Jingxing circulated his true energy and slowly released it, swirling it around his palm.

Hu… Hu… Hu!

Even though his true energy wasn’t burning, it was emitting flames and heat waves.

success!

Previously, it was Heaven Trampling True Energy. Now, it had turned into Flaming Heaven Trampling True Energy.

As he slashed out, the saber energy also contained a scorching aura.

After sensing the new changes, Su Jingxing put away the Dragon Melting Cauldron and got some food to wait for night.

Night fell.

Su Jingxing took a corpse bag and moved Yan Zi’s corpse into it.

Then, he held it in his hand and soared into the sky, flying towards the Wang Family’s residence where Wang Tiedao was.

‘When it was almost time, he descended from the sky and hid in a small alley near the Wang Family’s residence. He condensed a true energy clone, put on a cloak, a mask, and walked towards the Wang Family’s residence with the corpse bag.

He was stopped at the door. Before the guards could say anything, Su Jingxing opened the bag and threw it on the ground.

Swoosh!

Yan Zi’s emaciated face was exposed.

“ahl”

“This… This is Elder Yan!”

“Quick, report this to the Patriarch!”

The two guards were scared out of their wits.

Amidst the screams, one of them trembled and stayed in place to guard the corpse. Another ran inside like he was escaping for his life, shouting that Elder Yan had returned.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Hu!

Swoosh!

Before long, messy footsteps and the sound of rushing wind came from the door.

‘Two figures were the fastest. One in front and one behind, they stepped through the air and landed in front of Su Jingxing.

Their expressions changed drastically when he saw Yan Zi in the body bag.

The burly Wang Tiedao was the first to raise the saber in her hand. She stared at Su Jingxing and shouted, “Did you kill Elder Yan?!”

“Shut up.”

Beside her, a woman with long flowing hair who looked to be in her thirties raised her eyebrows and shouted, “He didn’t kill Junior Sister.”

“Master?” Wang Tiedao turned to look at the woman with a puzzled expression.

Her movements were not slow as she put down the saber.

“This friend is here to deliver the corpse.”

The woman zipped up the corpse bag and motioned for Wang Tiedao to pick it up. Then, she turned around and faced Su Jingxing’s true energy clone. She bowed slightly and said gratefully, “Thank you, friend, for delivering my junior sister’s corpse back to us. I’m Pu Mingyue, the Head of Hundred Flower

Valley’s Sword Hall. I have nothing to repay you for returning her corpse. I have a jar of Immortal Chant Wine. I hope you can accept it.

“If you are not in a hurry, you can come in with me. While waiting for the Immortal Chant Wine, we can discuss some martial arts.

“Of course, I also wish to know how my junior sister died and whether she left any last words.”

“Then I’ll disturb you for a while.” In the alley, Su Jingxing controlled his voice and spoke in a deep and thick voice.

When he spoke, he used the secret ability of high-frequency sound waves to twist it into a line and send it to the mouth of the true energy clone.

In this way, it would be equivalent to the true energy clone speaking.

Of course, if one sensed carefully, one could still discover the problem.

However, Su Jingxing could guarantee that even if Pu Mingyue discovered the problem, she wouldn’t expose it.

Meeting her with his true energy clone was a clear indication of Su Jingxing’s attitude.

There was no grudge between the two of them. On the contrary, they were indebted to him for delivering the corpse. Pu Mingyue had no choice but to accept this.

He walked into the Wang Family’s residence.

They chose a quiet room.

Pu Mingyue, Wang Tiedao, and Su Jingxing’s true energy clone sat facing one another.

On the ground was Yan Zi’s corpse.

“The Essence Devouring Heretic Art. When my younger sister died, were you watching?” Pu Mingyue asked.

“Thappened to pass by and saw her being grabbed and devoured. After the murderer discovered me, he pounced on me. I had no choice but to fight him and was lucky to kill the murderer.”

$u Jingxing summarized, “There was originally something strange with the murderer’s corpse. I quickly destroyed it and managed to avoid a battle. By the way, the murderer is from Ghost Ride.”

“Ghost Ride? Nine-Headed Bird?” exclaimed Wang Tiedao.

“Ghost Ride?” Pu Mingyue frowned slightly and said in a low voice, “Junior Sister was too rash. She clearly knew that the murderer cultivated the Essence Devouring Heretic Art, yet she still dared to go out alone.”

Su Jingxing said, “Before she died, she said that Master thought the best of you.”

Pu Mingyue’s mouth fell open, and her aura changed drastically. After a while, all her emotions turned into a long sigh.

“silly girl…” Pu Mingyue smiled bitterly and didn’t probe further. Instead, she looked at Su Jingxing and asked with shining eyes,” May I know your name?”

“Tm Li Jing,” said Su Jingxing.

“..$o you’re Brother Li.” Pu Mingyue’s eyes flashed and she continued, “I wonder if Brother Li has heard of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage?”

“Te heard of him. The Martial Sage of the previous dynasty, Yue Dongliu, right?”

“Yes, that’s him.”

Pu Mingyue nodded. “It’s best that you know, Brother Li. What I want to say is that the rumor that the Crimson Moon Martial Sage left behind a legacy has been verified to be true. The Crimson Moon legacy is related to three stone tablets. As long as the three stone tablets are gathered, the legacy ground

can be manifested to open the legacy’s underground palace.”

“Right now, there are many factions gathered in Qinghe City. Their goal is to enter the underground palace. The Hundred Flower Valley is one of them.”

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

“As for the three stone tablets, two are currently known.

“Who has these two pieces?” Su Jingxing interrupted.

Pu Mingyue replied, “One is with the Qinghe Martial Suppression Office, and the other is with the Changyang Prefecture Army.”

What kind of development is this?

The two known stone tablets of the three are in the government’s possession?

Wasn’t one of them seized by the black-robed old man?

Although I killed the black-robed old man, I don’t know where the stone tablet is.

Did something happen before this?

As if knowing Su Jingxing’s doubts, Pu Mingyue continued, “The one with the Martial Suppression Office was previously seized by someone at the auction. However, it was taken back by Bu Qing that night. By the way, Bu Qing is a Universal Envoy. His title is The Reverse Light Spear King. He’s almost in

the second-grade.”

It’s him!

Su Jingxing thought of the tall figure with a long spear he had seen during the day.

So his name is Bu Qing, the reinforcement from the Martial Suppression Office.

“Aren’t you curious, Brother Li? Why I said ‘taken back?” Pu Mingyue suddenly asked with a smile.

“What do you mean?”

“Because that stone tablet was entrusted to the Myriad Treasures Court by the Commander of City Governance of Qinghe City’s Martial Suppression Office, Li Linzhou.”

Li Linzhou was the first to get the stone tablet?”

“That’s right.” Pu Mingyue nodded. “When his subordinates discovered the stone tablet and Li Linzhou learned that it was related to the Crimson Moon Martial Sage, he privately kept it. However, when he discovered that there were a total of three such stone tablets, he decisively took it out to auction for a

large sum of money.

“The reason is simple. Li Linzhou doesn’t hold hopes of obtaining the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage.

“Brother Li, do you know Li Linzhou’s past?”

“Idon’t know and neither am I interested.”

Of course he was interested.

But he couldn’t let Pu Mingyue lead him by the nose.

This woman had been trying to get information out of him. Although Su Jingxing wasn’t sure of her motive for now, he wasn’t afraid.

At most, he’d just dispel his true energy clone!

As for the “Li Jing” alias he casually mentioned, it was even less valuable.

“Li Linzhou has a deep background.”

Pu Mingyue paused for a moment before continuing as if nothing had happened. “He is the personal disciple of Yu Nation’s Martial Suppression Office’s Head Supervisor!”

F*ck, Old Li is impressive!

His master is actually a first-grade expert, a member of the Yu Nation’s cabinet!

“Of course, now he’s longer one.”

Pu Mingyue said softly, “Li Linzhou was expelled from the sect because he made a mistake. He was actually demoted when he came to Qinghe City. If the legacy of the Crimson Moon Martial Sage was only related to one stone tablet, he would naturally go to the underground palace. Unfortunately, he

couldn’t gather all three stone tablets or keep them!”

$u Jingxing remained silent.

Ifhe had a first-grade as his backer, Li Linzhou would naturally be able to keep the stone tablets.

Things were awkward now that he had been kicked out of the sect.

No wonder Old Li would rather exchange it for money.

Although money couldn’t buy everything, once the price was right, most things could still be bought.

Su Jingxing sighed inwardly.

“Li Linzhou’s entrusted item was snatched, so he only received some compensation. The stone tablet is now in Bu Qing’s hands.”

Pu Mingyue continued to narrate. “With Bu Qing guarding it, the security of this stone tablet is basically guaranteed. I don’t know how the Prefecture Army managed to obtain the other stone tablet, but it’s also safe. Only the last stone tablet, we know it’s in Qinghe City, but we don’t know whose hands it

has fallen into!”

After a brief silence, Su Jingxing asked, “So, why are you telling me this?”

Pu Mingyue smiled.

“Twas waiting for this question, Brother Li.”

Her eyes lit up as she stared at Su Jingxing and said seriously, “I would like to invite Brother Li to seek out the underground palace with us!”
