BXBX NOVEL Chapter 70 - 70 Some Mystical Power
Song Shi sighed.
“In this chaotic world, if you want to settle down, other than having a powerful cultivation, you also need to rely on being in a large faction. Young Master, are you still optimistic about being in the Demon Slayers Division?”
Liu Ruxue looked at Song Shi.
“Xue’er wants me to join the Yao Moon Palace?”
Song Shi turned around and met Liu Ruxue’s shining eyes.
“Xue’er doesn’t have the authority to let Young Master join the Yao Moon Palace for the time being. However, after Xue’er finishes her trial, it should be possible. I hope that Young Master can leave with Xue’er then.”
Liu Ruxue looked sincere.
“We’ll talk about it when the time comes. For now, I still have to maintain contact with the Demon Slayers Division. It’s good to have more sources of information.”
Song Shi did not address Liu Ruxue’s request directly. Even though he phrased it as such, he actually just wanted another avenue to be able to farm death.
“Young Master, are you still going to take the risk? The Demon Slayers Division has already been openly attacked by the cultivators of the rebel army!”
Liu Ruxue looked worried. “In the future, if Young Master stays in the Demon Slayers Division, you might have to fight the cultivators of the rebel army every day. Your life might be in danger at any moment.”
“That’s good news!”
Song Shi was excited and said righteously, “A man should always strive to progress forward. How can I cower in the face of danger? Killing on the battlefield will only help with my rapid growth and allow me to be more powerful on my own!”
Liu Ruxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with affection. Most of the cultivators she knew were cautious and suspicious. They did not want to take risks easily and did not have the same spirit as Song Shi.
She smiled sweetly, “Xue’er respects the Young Master’s choice and will support you.”
“With Xue’er like this, what more can I ask for!”
Song Shi hugged the sweet smelling Liu Ruxue, “It’s time to rest. Let me repay you and help you cultivate.”
As Liu Ruxue gigged in joy he picked her up and walked to the room.
After taking off his clothes, Song Shi touched Liu Ruxue’s beautiful face. “I’ll cooperate with you. You can absorb as much as you want. Take it as a token of thanks for your help this time.”
His cultivation level had already surpassed Liu Ruxue’s and was almost at the eighth level of Qi Refinement. He was like a fireball that Liu Ruxue could not drain no matter how hard she tried.
Not long after, Liu Ruxue was done. She stopped while begging for mercy and tried her best to digest and absorb the energy she had gained.
After Song Shi was done, he went to take a look at Song Bei’s situation before starting to evaluate his rewards from his duel.
Hei Duzi was much richer than Tong Hu. Not only did he have a large number of pills and talismans, he also had many types of poisons and Gu worms. Lastly he also possessed many poison related manuals and secret arts.
There were also more than 300 spirit stones, which was equivalent to more than 3 million taels of silver.
Even the grade of the storage bag was higher. It had a capacity of nearly a thousand times its size and could be considered to be a so-called ‘Thousand Treasure Bag’.
After sorting out these things and removing the Gu worms and poison, he divided the other talismans and medicinal pills into three portions. One was for his own use, one was for another storage bag, and the last he put in a cloth bag.
When he went downstairs to the backyard, Big Smart was practicing the Axe Technique with his axe. He was preparing to use the Dharma artifact as close combat weapons, unlike cultivators who used Dharma artifacts to attack from afar.
Hu hu hu!
The Blood Axe Dharma artifact was not big and looked like round axes. However, in Big Smart’s hands, they looked extremely mighty. The cold light cut through the air and made an ear-piercing sound. It was extremely aggressive.
Elder Qin stood at the side and pointed, “Xiao Liu, Axe techniques are more profound than saber techniques. Your move is too arrogant and you won’t be able to unleash the full advantage of using an axe.”
“It seems that not only is Elder Qin’s saber technique exquisite, but he also has a lot of achievements in the Axe Technique.”
Song Shi appeared and commented with a smile.
“Young Master!”
Big Smart hurriedly stopped and bowed to Song Shi. He grinned and said, “Elder Qin is outstanding in all kinds of martial arts. His saber techniques are also the best in Silken City’s martial arts world.”
“Little Liu, don’t talk nonsense. I’m just more familiar with these weapons.”
Elder Qin cupped his hands at Song Shi, “In front of Young Master, this is nothing fancy.”
“Don’t be humble. In terms of martial arts, you are qualified to be called a Master.”
Song Shi shook his head. “I want to learn how to use weapons from you. I wonder if Elder Qin can give me some pointers? Consider this my apprenticeship gift.”
He handed over a cloth bag containing medicinal pills, talismans and spirit stones.
As long as one reached the Connate realm, martial artists could also use certain things such as medicinal pills, like cultivators. At this point, the difference between martial artists and cultivators was shrinking. However, there was still a clear difference in cultivation techniques and combat methods.
In terms of cultivation techniques, martial artists still valued cultivating by themselves. After all, Normal martial artists did not have spiritual roots to help them absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. In addition, they were used to close combat instead of spells.
Elder Qin opened it and took a look. Even though it was just a hundred Spirit Stones, the amount still shocked him. “Young Master, this is too much. Not to mention the other things, even these Spirit Stones are enough for me to give you my trump card.”
“Take it first. Consider it your reward for protecting our Song family these few days. I also hope that Elder Qin will seek to improve further. This way, everyone’s ability to protect themselves will increase.”
Song Shi shook his head. The reason why he had given Elder Qin so many things was because he wanted to learn something from Elder Qin, and also to convince Elder Qin to continue to stay with the Song family.
With an additional Connate expert, he would have an additional layer of protection. It was impossible for him to always be guarding Old master Song and the others himself.
“Thank you, Seventh Young Master,”
Elder Qin inspected the pills in front of Song Shi, “With the pills given by Young Master, I will definitely improve further. I should be able to reach the late-stage Connate Realm soon. I won’t disappoint you.”
“That’s great. Elder Qin, you don’t have to be thrifty with these. Use these resources as soon as possible.”
Song Shi smiled. The late-stage Connate realm was equivalent to the ninth level of Qi Refinement. He believed that unless one had an enemy like Hei Duzi, who else would be in their right mind to threaten the old master Song that was protected by cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refinement?
“I abide by the Young Master’s instructions.”
Elder Qin accepted the resources with a smile, “Young Master, what do you want to learn?”
“I’ll learn Sword skills for the time being.”
“Alright, I’ll teach Young Master the strongest Swordsmanship skill I know, Gust Wind Sword!”
...
Elder Qin was extremely generous and directly took out his trump card. “This sword technique is a top-notch sword technique in the mortal world. If you cultivate it to perfection, you will be able to access the divine power of the Gust Wind Sword.”
“Divine power!”
Song Shi nodded. When the martial arts technique was developed to the limit and reached the level of perfection, it would have the power to reach the heavens which was known as the Divine Power.
Simply put, it could mobilize the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth to increase its power, like spells. However, it was relatively difficult and was far more difficult to achieve than cultivating spells.
However, once it was cultivated, the divine power would have something that spells lacked.
The release speed would be extremely fast !
And it would also lash out a Domineering attack!
Once divine power was reached, attacks could be released instantly. There was no need to form hand seals because divine power used the meridians of a martial artist as the foundation. By using the cultivator’s body to mobilize the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, there would not be much casting time necessary.
Domineering attacks, especially single-target attacks, were very terrifying. It was very difficult to block spells of the same level.
These two advantages were the key for martial arts cultivators to fight against immortal cultivators.
Therefore, every martial art skill that could cultivate divine power was a top-notch martial art.
...
“That’s right. Although it’s only the lowest grade level one elementary divine power, it’s enough to deal with enemies below the Foundation Establishment realm.”
Elder Qin had white hair and a long beard. Upon saying this, he had a hint of pride in his voice.
Although elementary divine powers were divided into nine grades, with grade one being the lowest, it was still not something that could be obtained casually.
He continued to introduce the skills, “This is one of the three top-notch martial arts that I have on me that can cultivate divine powers.”
