Strange world, I can seal the gods

Chapter 1276 Elder Xu's Collection
Elder Xu looked at Cui Yu with a look of disbelief and suspicion.

The immobilization technique was the magical power that he discovered first, and he even had the complete mantra, but he hadn't yet succeeded in practicing it. How was it that Cui Yu not only completed the incomplete magical power, but also succeeded in practicing it directly?

Elder Xu was very indignant, and he stared at Cui Yu intently, waiting for Cui Yu to use the immobilization technique.

Cui Yu did not disappoint Elder Xu. He pointed at Elder Xu from a distance in the air. The next moment, Elder Xu's body froze in place, with only his eyeballs still moving.

Cui Yu looked at Elder Xu who was immobilized, and knew in his heart that with his current magical power, he could not immobilize Elder Xu with the immobilization technique. The other party was currently sensing the mystery of the immobilization technique.

After a long while, a divine light was seen flowing on Elder Xu's body. The next moment, the immobilization technique on his body was broken. He stared at Cui Yu with a pair of eyes full of shock. "It's really the immobilization technique! You actually cultivated it, and it's more advanced than the formula I have. Not only did you bring forth something new, but the formula you derived is even more powerful than the original one. How did you do it?"

Elder Xu's eyes were full of disbelief. You know, this was the mantra to deduce a magical power. Even with his level of Taoism, he couldn't do it. Cui Yu was just a disciple of the Qi Xing Zhou Tian technique. How could he do it?

"I don't know either. It was just that a flash of inspiration suddenly came to me, and I understood it naturally." Cui Yu said with a smile.

Hearing Cui Yu's words, Xu Fu touched his chin awkwardly and said, "Since you have completed the immobilization technique, can you show me the complete formula?"

"Yes! Of course!" Cui Yu replied, then walked to the desk, picked up the pen and wrote down the last two sentences.

It was just a technique to immobilize a person, Cui Yu did not take it seriously. Of course he would not be stingy and would just pass it on if he wanted to.

The formula was very short, and Cui Yu wrote it almost in one go, finishing it in just a few moments. Elder Xu came forward and looked at the formula with a look of shock in his eyes, as if his gaze was glued to the formula, unable to move an inch.

Cui Yu stopped writing and saw that Elder Xu had fallen into a state of enlightenment. He did not disturb him too much, but stood aside, boiled a bowl of tea and waited quietly.

It was not until night fell and Cui Yu lit the lamp in the house that Elder Xu let out a long breath, with a look of emotion in his eyes: "Incredible! You are incredible!"

"Thank you for the compliment. It was just a coincidence." Cui Yu was very humble.

Upon hearing this, Elder Xu glanced at Cui Yu, then placed the mantra in his hand under the lamp and let it burn quietly. However, in a few moments, the mantra had turned into ashes.

“Since you have such ability, I cannot waste your talent. I have two books of formulas excavated from the ancient ruins. If you can decipher and complete them, I will reward you generously.” As Elder Xu spoke, he turned his head and went to the wall and knocked on it in a certain pattern. After a while, the wall flipped over and a box came out of the wall.

The antique box is made of ironwood, which can repel insects and prevent moisture. There are no decorative patterns on it, and it looks inconspicuous.

Elder Xu pushed the box gently a few times, and the next moment the lid of the box opened, revealing two antique books in Cui Yu's sight.

The book is made of gold foil and appears to have more than a dozen pages. It is engraved with ancient innate characters, and is obviously not an ordinary inheritance.

"These two books were dug out from a large tomb in the past. If you can translate them, I will reward you handsomely." Elder Xu said as he handed one of the books to Cui Yu.

Cui Yu took the book, and after a quick look at it, he had already translated the true meaning of the text: refining swords into silk.

"This is a sword technique. It tells about one of the sword techniques, refining swords into silk. This technique is specifically used to break all kinds of golden bodies. It is very domineering." Cui Yu carefully read the sword formula and then folded the gold foil. "But the formula is not complete. About one tenth of the content is missing. This one tenth is the core content."

"Is it possible to complete the incomplete formula?" Elder Xu looked at Cui Yu with burning eyes.

"You can try it." Cui Yu said with a smile.

If he could translate it, he would not be stingy and keep it to himself. After all, for him, the Jade Butterfly of Creation was always deducing, and the formula would only become stronger in his hands.

Cui Yu picked up the brush, and Elder Xu hurried forward to grind the ink. Cui Yu wrote with great speed, and it took him half a day to finish writing the entire formula.

"I have translated the contents on the gold foil. As for completing the incomplete formula, it will take some time." Cui Yu pushed the paper in front of Elder Xu. It was already midnight, but both of them were very excited and had no desire to sleep.

Elder Xu took the paper and carefully read the formula translated by Cui Yu. After a long time, he confirmed that it was correct and Cui Yu did not hide anything. Then he put the formula down and looked at Cui Yu with emotion: "You are amazing! Even if it is an incomplete sword formula, it still inspired me a lot and my understanding of the sword way has reached a higher level."

"Are you sleepy?" Elder Xu looked at Cui Yu, who shook his head. Elder Xu handed him the second scripture and said, "Since you are not sleepy, let's just translate the second scripture."

Cui Yu did not refuse. He had already entered the realm of Yuanshen, so it didn't matter if he didn't sleep for several days.

Cui Yu took the scripture and began to study it carefully, while Elder Xu beside him was also not idle. He held the sword formula and fell into deep thought, beginning to comprehend the subtleties of the sword formula.

After Cui Yu flipped through the entire scripture, a divine light flashed in his eyes: "This scripture is not about magical powers, but about the way of using wonderful herbs. It does have some shadows of alchemy. The name of the scripture is "Shennong's Materia Medica", which is a work left by the legendary Shennong. Even if it is a fragment, it tells the way of the transformation of plants and trees, and has evolved the great way of 'wood' to the extreme, which is close to the way of alchemy, especially the several prescriptions recorded in it, which are incredible. Elder Xu is quite wild. Even if this Shennong's Materia Medica is still incomplete, it is left by Shennong. It is a handwritten note of a quasi-sage, and the great ways recorded in it are extraordinary. Moreover, it also records the cultivation method of relying on plants to prolong life and the magic medicine that can make people reborn and immortal. It is also very useful to me."

What was Cui Yu missing? Wasn't it his lifespan? This article gave him a new idea: "If I could study the art of alchemy, find the formula of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill of the great saint in the past, and then use the herbs obtained from that mysterious world, would I have a chance to refine the Nine-Turn Golden Pill in this world? Wouldn't it be easy to extend my lifespan? Without the lifespan, wouldn't my cultivation level be doubled?"

Cui Yu's eyes lit up. Even if he might not be able to find the recipe for the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, there was a Great Demon God of Balance in the mysterious world who mastered the power of heaven. He could ask the Great Demon God of Balance to deduce the recipe for him. Even if he could not deduce the recipe for the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, it should not be difficult to deduce a prescription for prolonging life, right?
Cui Yu felt that his perspective was instantly expanded, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes: "Although this thing is not a magical power, it is more useful to me than a magical power."

Cui Yu spread out the gold foil on the table and began to copy the Shennong Herbal Classic.

Although Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica is incomplete, it still has more than 100,000 words. It will take Cui Yu a long time to copy it all.

Cui Yu copied for an hour. The jade butterfly of creation flickered in his mind as he kept recording the mysteries in the Shennong Herbal Sutra. With a spark of wisdom flashing, he began to deduce the way of plants.

Cui Yu copied for three hours and it was already the second half of the night. Over there, Elder Xu was sitting in front of the lamp with sword energy flowing around him. He was in a state of enlightenment. After Cui Yu added lamp oil to the lamp, he sat cross-legged beside him and began to meditate and practice.

Cui Yu practiced for an hour and all his sleepiness went away. He then stood up and continued copying the Shennong Herbal Classic.

Until a rooster crowed, accompanied by the ringing of bells outside, countless disciples began to do morning lessons. The noisy movement awakened Elder Xu who was in a state of enlightenment.

"Didn't you take a rest?" Elder Xu asked with some concern while looking at Cui Yu who was copying the scriptures. Cui Yu was now his humanoid translator, and he also had the important task of helping him deduce the subsequent spells. If anything happened to his body, it would be a big sin.

Cui Yu shook his head: "It is better to translate it earlier. I am afraid the elders can't wait."

"I don't care. This sword technique is enough for me to comprehend for a period of time. This sword technique is very profound, and it is extremely obscure to comprehend, just like the misty stars, which are elusive." Elder Xu's eyes showed a touch of emotion.

Cui Yu did not speak. He had long understood the profundity of the sword techniques. The speed at which the Jade Butterfly of Creation deduced the sword techniques was very slow, at least much slower than the speed at which it deduced the immobilization technique.

Elder Xu picked up the text translated by Cui Yu and frowned after a moment: "Shennong's Herbal Classic? Is it the study of plants and trees?"

“There are several very interesting recipes in it, which can actually allow people to rely on the transformation of plants and trees to realize the secret of immortality.” Cui Yu said.

Unexpectedly, Elder Xu was not interested in the money after hearing this: "In this world today, where are the spiritual medicines? If you want to refine the elixir that prolongs life, you must have spiritual medicines. Maybe there are spiritual medicines in the heavens, but there is definitely not a single one in the human world."

"There may be no ancient paradises left in this world. What if there are some magical medicines from the ancient times that have been preserved? Even if we don't delve into the way to immortality, the medical skills involved are worth studying."

Cui Yu said without even raising his head.

Elder Xu did not refute Cui Yu's words upon hearing this. He just put down the scroll in his hand, obviously no longer interested in reading: "You continue to copy books in the pavilion. I will go get you food and finish today's chores for you."

After Elder Xu finished speaking, he left happily. Not long after, he brought breakfast for Cui Yu, then quietly went downstairs to help Cui Yu sort out the scriptures in the Sutra Library.

Even if Cui Yu wrote like a god, it still took him half a month to copy the hundreds of thousands of words.

One day, Cui Yu stopped writing. Elder Xu, who was meditating on the sword technique, opened his eyes and looked at Cui Yu with a burning gaze: "Have you finished writing?"

"Every word in this scripture is a gem. It is not easy to translate the true meaning of many innate characters into our current language. But fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I have already translated it. Please check it, elder." Cui Yu said with a smile.

Elder Xu casually took the scriptures translated by Cui Yu in his hand, not in a hurry to read them. After two collaborations, the two had already established a foundation of trust.

"Next, I just hope that you can complete the sword-to-silk skill as soon as possible, so that this ancient magical power can regain its former glory." Elder Xu looked at Cui Yu eagerly.

"This sword technique is very obscure. It is not easy to deduce the sequel." Cui Yu said with a smile.

Hearing Cui Yu's words, Elder Xu smiled and said, "It's okay. I can wait."

"I haven't slept for half a month. I'm going to go back and sleep in. I won't disturb you, Elder." Cui Yu was about to say goodbye.

"Wait a minute, I have something else to tell you." Elder Xu said quickly.

Cui Yu paused and turned to look at Elder Xu.

Elder Xu stroked his beard and said solemnly, "I have something to advise you. Don't interfere with the things going on down the mountain. When Marquis Chengyang heard that you were favored by Grandmaster Xu Jing, he felt threatened and planned to take action against you. If you continue to interfere, I'm afraid your life will be in danger."

Cui Yu shook his head when he heard this. He did not agree with the other person's words: "In this life, people have things they do and things they don't do. I just want to have a clear conscience."

Elder Xu fell silent upon hearing this. To be honest, he was a little surprised by Cui Yu's answer, but he was also quite relieved in his heart, as this further proved that Cui Yu was not the kind of ungrateful person.

"If you encounter any difficult problems, you can come to me and I can help you. For example, I might be able to help you connect with the elder who is in charge of purchasing talismans." Elder Xu said.

Cui Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately raised his hand and saluted: "Thank you, Elder."

Cui Yu was worried that he had no chance to save the situation, but he didn't expect that Elder Xu would be willing to stand up for him.

"Don't be happy too soon. You must know that you are in big trouble this time. I heard that Xiang Qin suffered a great blow this time, and his bloodline began to awaken again under extreme stimulation. Don't provoke him in the future. The bloodline of the Chu State is more difficult to deal with. Each of them has turned into a big gold nugget. It is impossible to kill them or beat them. It is very troublesome." Elder Xu warned earnestly.

Cui Yu was surprised when he heard this: "It seems that Xiang Bird has great talent. His bloodline has awakened for the second time. I wonder how much more powerful he has become."

Cui Yu was not afraid of Xiang Qin. He was now about to master the skill of refining the sword into thread. By then, the sword thread would go through his seven orifices and penetrate into his internal organs. He did not believe that Xiang Qin's internal organs were still so strong.

Refining sword into silk is a mysterious magical power, which is the best counter to this kind of horizontal training kung fu. It is simply a natural nemesis.
