Chapter 174 - 174: Tyrannical Sword Technique, Beauty Retaining Pill
Su Yu’s spirit strength flowed into the small golden sword in his hand. A small golden figure immediately appeared in Su Yu’s mental world. It began to practice various sword techniques.
It started with the most simple movements of chopping, breaking, lifting, slotting, intercepting, stabbing, pressing, hanging, and so on.
After these practices were completed, the golden figure began to practice some basic sword techniques.
With Su Yu’s talent, absorbing these simple contents was as easy as flipping his hand.
At this moment, Su Yu felt as if he was standing on the shoulders of a giant. The path ahead had already been paved. He only needed to walk across step by step.
Gradually, the golden figure in Su Yu’s mental world began to dance faster and faster.
In the end, this golden figure was no longer constrained by the changes in the sword moves. It began to move the sword as it pleased.
Su Yu felt that a special power was growing within this golden figure. Sometimes, it gave off the feeling that it was showing off its ability.
Sometimes, it gave people the feeling that the sword was extremely lethal.
“Is this the so-called sword’s intent?” After carefully comprehending the power emanating from the small golden figure, a hint of understanding grew in Su Yu’s mind.
The power on the golden figure was the sword’s intent cultivated by the Sword King who had left behind the Sword Technique Rules.
Therefore, Su Yu closed his eyes and began to comprehend.
In Su Yu’s spiritual world, a silver figure appeared beside the golden figure. It held a long sword and started attacking the other party.
If one looked carefully, they would probably discover that this small silver figure formed by a trace of mental strength was none other than Su Yu.
The small golden figure, who had suddenly been attacked, calmly sparred with the small silver figure formed by Su Yu’s spiritual thought.
At the beginning, Su Yu, who was holding a long sword, was forced to retreat step by step.
However, as time passed, Su Yu gradually became familiar with the sword moves in his hand.
Su Yu had transmigrated from the era of the information explosion. His skills were naturally not limited to this mere sword move.
So what if a person could perform sword moves beautifully? Without the support of powerful strength, it was just all for show.
As Su Yu’s attacks became more and more frantic, a weak yet extremely domineering power rose from Su Yu’s body.
“Is this the embryonic form of the sword’s intent?” Su Yu sensed the special power of the sword technique transformed from a trace of spiritual power. A hint of understanding formed in his mind.
After mastering the embryonic form of the sword’s intent, every single one of Su Yu’s attacks would be followed by an extremely powerful sword’s intent. Compared to the myriad changes of the sword’s intent on the golden figure, the sword’s intent on Su Yu’s body did not change much. There was only a domineering feeling, as if he could suppress matters with his own strength.
This was the embryonic form of the Tyrannical Sword Technique that Su Yu had comprehended from the sword’s intent of the golden figure.
With Su Yu’s decisive personality and the various cultivation techniques he cultivated, it wasn’t surprising that he could comprehend the sword’s intent.
As the embryonic form of the sword’s intent on Su Yu’s body grew rapidly, the small golden sword in Su Yu’s hand seemed to have turned illusory.
In the end, when the power of the sword’s intent on Su Yu’s body rose by another level, the small golden sword in Su Yu’s hands turned into specks of golden light and dissipated.
“Small accomplishment of sword’s intent. Not bad.” Su Yu, who had recovered from his comprehension state, could not help but nod slightly after sensing his current state.
The power of intent was the threshold to the Martial Lord realm. Su Yu had already comprehended it in advance. Then, as long as he opened all the apertures in his body, he could naturally advance to the Martial Lord realm.
At the same time, he had comprehended the power of the sword’s intent. This also greatly increased Su Yu’s basic combat strength.
“It really takes so much time to cultivate. I actually spent almost two days comprehending the sword’s intent.” Realizing that another two days had passed while he was in seclusion to comprehend the sword’s intent, Su Yu could not help but mutter softly.
However, Su Yu did not plan to go out before all the resources were exhausted.
After all, wouldn’t he be a fool if he just collected items without making use of it?
Only after converting all the gains this time into strength did Su Yu plan to continue collecting resources.
The auction mentioned by Ji Ruoyan of the Myriad Commerce Association had long been forgotten by Su Yu.
Actually, Su Yu did not expect that he would spend ten days in seclusion to break through to the Martial Grandmaster Realm.
Su Yu did not know this, but on the fifth day after he returned back to the island for secluded cultivation, Ji Ruoyan was already waiting anxiously for him. She planned to earn plenty of profit from him.
However, Ji Ruoyan never expected that Su Yu would not come. This really angered Ji Ruoyan so much that she broke a table that night.
At this moment, Su Yu took out another origin stone. Accompanied by a large number of origin stone fragments that kept falling, a saber that emitted a bloodthirsty aura finally appeared in front of Su Yu.
[Blood-Drinking Saber – Damaged]
Description: Made by a king of the demonic path. It contains demonic nature. The true meaning of the demonic path inside has been lost. It can swallow a large amount of blood and repair itself. After completely repairing it, the user can fuse the power of intent into it to nurture one’s power of true intent.
Grade: Low-rank King Weapon – Damaged.
He casually held the Blood-Drinking Saber in the pile of origin stones. Its entire body was blood-red, but it was covered in small cracks.
Su Yu casually waved his hand twice and found that it was quite handy. He would find an opportunity to repair it later. It could still be used for a short period of time.
After putting the Blood-Drinking Saber aside, Su Yu took out the third origin stone.
[Deceased Buddhist Master’s Relic]
Description: A desolate relic condensed by a Buddhist Master who used his body to suppress demons and finally exhausted his strength.
Rank: Purple Gold Rank
Function: It is highly lethal towards living beings who cultivate the power of darkness. You only need to directly inject it with your spiritual power in order to detonate it.
Next, Su Yu opened five more origin stones in a row. He opened all the origin stones that he had purchased from the Myriad Commerce Association.
In addition to the three items above, Su Yu also obtained several other things.
He also obtained one piece of Purple Gold Rank Gold Essence, a damaged piece of Purple Gold Rank armor, a complete book of Ordinary pill formulas, a damaged Purple Gold Rank array disk, a Level 4 beauty retaining pill.
The array disk and pill formula were somewhat useful to Su Yu. The rest were not very useful. He could use them to trade with the Myriad Commerce Association next time.
Su Yu planned to bring the beauty retaining pill to the Alchemy Pavilion later and figure out the ingredients to refine this pill. After obtaining the pill formula, he would sell the pill to the Myriad Commerce Association and ruthlessly take advantage of them.
[Level 4 Beauty Retaining Pill]
Description: Effective towards cultivators below the King’s Realm, no matter what stage they are at. Consuming this pill can maintain their appearance and eternal youth until their lifespan ends.
Note: Only your appearance will be maintained. It will not increase your lifespan.
It did not matter whether Su Yu ate it or not. With Su Yu’s current golden body realm, his appearance had long been frozen in time. He did not need this thing at all.
Rich women below the King Realm probably liked this pill.
Perhaps some male cultivators who relied on physical labor would also like it. The market for this item should be quite wide.
After putting all the items on the ground into his storage space, Su Yu left the Rank Up Tower and went straight to the Alchemy Pavilion.
After arriving at the Alchemy Pavilion, Su Yu first gave the Alchemy Pavilion an encyclopedia of Ordinary pill formulas to replenish the number of low-rank pill formulas. Then, he took out the Level 4 beauty retaining pill and placed it in the testing cabinet of the Alchemy Pavilion.
[Checking the ingredients of the pill. Please wait a moment.]
[This pill contains a Millennium Ginseng, a Millennium Stalactite, a
Millennium Yellow Essence, a Century Garden Balsam…]
[Producing pill formula. 30 grams of Millennium Ginseng, 1 drop of Millennium Stalactite, 50 grams of Millennium Yellow Essence, 20 grams of Century Garden Balsam…]
“With this pill as a blueprint, continue to deduce Level 3, Level 2, and Level 1 of related pills.”
[Command received. Simplifying pill.]
[Simplification successful. Level 3 Beauty Maintaining Pill, Level 2 Beauty Nourishing Pill, and Level 1 Beauty Pill can be derived.]
Not long after, Su Yu obtained a series of pills based on the beauty retaining pill.
[Level 3 Beauty Maintaining Pill]
Description: Cultivators below the King’s Realm can consume this to preserve their appearance for 200 years.
Note: The effect of the second dose will be halved.
[Level 2 Beauty Nourishing Pill]
Description: Cultivators below the King’s Realm can consume this to preserve their appearance for 20 years.
Note: The effect of the second dose will be halved.
[Level 1 Beauty Pill]
Description: Cultivators below the King’s Realm can consume this to preserve their appearance for three years.
Note: The effect of the second dose will be halved.
After memorizing all the medicinal ingredients needed for the three pill formulas, Su Yu turned around and left the Alchemy Pavilion. Then, he headed to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.
At this moment, there were already many people sitting in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. For example, there were Ao Yan, Skeleton 1, Xuan Turtle, and the others.
When Su Yu’s figure appeared in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, everyone stood up uniformly.
In response, Su Yu walked to the main seat and sat down. Then, he waved his hands and gestured for everyone to sit down.
“I gathered everyone here today because the number of people on our island is increasing. Therefore, in order not to waste everyone’s talent, I have to make some arrangements for some people.”
“First of all, Zhou Yi will be in charge of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Ao Yan and Skeleton 1 will follow Zhou Yi and receive a Heavenly Mystery Array apparatus as a communicator. The rest of you will dig according to the undersea mines displayed on the Heavenly Mystery Array. For the time being, don’t get too close to powerful sea creatures. Just start from some small mines.”
“Also, Shen Wansan, you can choose a group of heroes who are proficient in the business path. I have other arrangements for you.”
“As for the other heroes with extraordinary physiques, all of you will cultivate martial arts techniques in the Rank Up Tower. Lii Bu, after you receive the cultivation technique from Zhou Yi, you will be in charge of announcing it..”
