We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

In the desert, a figure raced for his life, creating a striking scene; this person was Elder Yan.

After escaping from the Wisteria Mountains, he didn't dare to delay for even a moment, turning around and running away, fearing that Su Chen would change his mind.

After running for an unknown distance, and looking back without seeing Su Chen's figure, they slowed down.

He had to stop.

It wasn't that he didn't want to run anymore, but rather that his escape had nearly depleted all of his internal energy.

It should be noted that one of the most taboo things in the yellow sand desert is to consume one's Yuan energy. Even if he can quickly draw Yuan energy from the desert to restore himself, he cannot consume all the Yuan energy in his body.

Because once exhausted, if he encounters an enemy, he will surely die.

After finding a place, Elder Yan sat cross-legged, concealing his aura, and began to recover from his injuries and regain his strength.

He was seriously injured in the battle with Su Chen and needs to recover as soon as possible.

"Once my injuries have healed, I will rush back to the sect to report the incident at the Purple Vine Mountain Range. This person killed many disciples of my Yellow Sand Sect and Blood Shadow Sect, as well as two true disciples. He will surely be severely punished by the three major sects. I have already recorded his primordial spirit aura. As long as he is still in the Yellow Sand Desert, he will not be able to escape!"

Elder Yan was filled with hatred and was very dissatisfied that Su Chen had taken away his supernatural power.

Supernatural powers are the foundation of a martial artist's life. The fact that they were taken away, coupled with the humiliation he suffered, fueled his murderous intent towards Su Chen.

However, he knew that he was no match for Su Chen with his own strength, so he wanted to rush back to the sect as soon as possible to seek help.

With that in mind, Elder Yan sped up his healing process.

His eyes were closed when he suddenly noticed a faint dark shadow slowly descending onto his eyelids, as if something was blocking the light.

This change made him subconsciously open his eyes.

"why you!"

Upon seeing the figure before him, Elder Yan exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with horror.

On one hand, she was surprised by the quiet appearance of Su Chen, and on the other hand, she was surprised that Su Chen had found her.

But soon, all thoughts and surprise vanished, replaced by a sudden surge of fear.

Su Chen actually found him!

The thought arose, and Elder Yan immediately disregarded his injuries, quickly circulating his internal energy and leaping into the air.

But Su Chen wasn't about to let him leave so easily. He grabbed him, and in an instant, all the air was compressed.

It emitted bursts of sonic booms.

Elder Yan was immediately horrified to discover that he was trapped inside a light barrier and unable to move.

They could only let Su Chen do as he pleased.

"Wait, you can't kill me!"

Elder Yan felt the pressure within the light barrier increasing, and his fear grew stronger, but he still forced himself to remain calm and shouted.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen raised an eyebrow, assuming that Elder Yan had been hiding something from him and that he possessed valuable items.

It looks like something even better than great supernatural powers, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long to tell us.

Although he was furious that this guy wouldn't reveal all the secrets until he was about to die, Su Chen paused for a moment when he thought about the unexpected gains.

He looked at Elder Yan: "Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

"You promised to let me go, so why are you killing me? You know we made a vow, and this is equivalent to breaking that vow. Aren't you afraid of being cursed?"

To Su Chen's surprise, Elder Yan's words were different from what he had expected; he actually intended to use the oath to pressure him.

Su Chen said with some disappointment, "I did promise to let you go, but this is the second time I've caught you. Didn't I already let you go the first time? Besides, the power of the oath disappeared long after you left. Catching you now doesn't count as breaking the oath. Oh, I misspoke. It's that killing you now doesn't count as breaking the oath."

He paused, still somewhat unwilling to give up: "You really don't have any other good stuff on you?"

Elder Yan: "..."

Bang!
Su Chen saw the answer and acted without hesitation.

Elder Yan struggled desperately, but his skills were no match for Su Chen's. In the end, Su Chen crushed him, turning him into a bloody mess. As the light shield disappeared, blood and flesh fell to the ground, staining the desert crimson.

"Your methods of killing are becoming increasingly brutal!"

Upon seeing this scene, Duan Tian Dao clicked his tongue in amazement.

Su Chen chuckled lightly, unconcerned: "Rough, but simple!"

"Where are we going next? To Shengyuan City?"

Duan Tian Dao remained noncommittal, then suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Hongyue and the others had already collected all the ripe Divine Fruits in the Wisteria Mountains. He killed Hongyue and the others and took all of their Divine Fruits.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique has now been elevated to the level of a great supernatural power.

However, his level of attainment was still at the beginner level of supernatural powers.

Of course, this is his own opinion, because the division of supernatural power realms in the Ten Directions World depends on the degree of cultivation of supernatural power.

Generally speaking, cultivating a great supernatural power to its limit is equivalent to achieving the minor mastery of that supernatural power.

However, Su Chen's situation was different. Although he had cultivated the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique to the level of a great supernatural power.

However, Wuliang Vajra Iron Shirt has only been cultivated to the eighth level.

Su Chen has always used this technique as the basis for judging his cultivation level.

According to this standard, the eighth level of the Boundless Vajra Iron Shirt should be equivalent to the entry level of supernatural powers.

This is why he believes he has only reached the initial stage of supernatural powers.

Another major reason is that he did indeed cultivate the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique to the level of a great divine power, but the problem is that the Yuan Power in his body is currently unable to unleash the full power of this divine power.

The reason is simple: he possesses great supernatural powers, but he lacks the strong foundation to support their operation.

It's like he's holding a precious sword, but he's just a child and can't unleash its full power.

Only when he further enhances his Primordial Power can he truly unleash the power of his Great Divine Ability.

Only then can he truly be considered a martial artist with minor supernatural abilities.

That being said, in terms of strength, Su Chen felt that he might not be inferior to a martial artist who had achieved the minor level of supernatural powers.

His attack just now revealed that his strength had increased further after improving the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, and he easily killed Elder Yan.

Although this was related to Elder Yan's injury, it was enough to demonstrate Su Chen's strength.

Even if they encounter a true martial artist who has achieved minor mastery of supernatural powers, they will still have the strength to fight.

Hearing Duan Tiandao's words, Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "Instead of going to Shengyuan City, let's go to Huangsha Market first and see if we can buy any supernatural power manuals." The most urgent task is to cultivate supernatural powers.

After all, the number of supernatural abilities is directly related to whether he can break through. If Su Chen wants to achieve minor success in supernatural abilities in Yuan Power as soon as possible, he must cultivate ten supernatural abilities.

By cultivating these ten supernatural abilities to their limit, his strength will increase on the panel.

He currently possesses no shortage of supernatural abilities; the supernatural abilities he obtained from Elder Yan and others are enough for him to fill most of the spots.

The conditions for cultivating these supernatural abilities to their limit are not difficult; all you need to do is exchange for enough Pure Yuan Pills.

He had plenty of Yellow Yuan Pills, but they didn't meet the requirements on the panel, so he had to go to Huangsha Market to exchange them for Pure Yuan Pills.

Moreover, Hongyue had previously mentioned that there were places in Huangshafang Market that sold supernatural powers.

He also wanted to see if he could buy a few supernatural powers; if he could, that would be the best outcome.

Duan Tian Dao had no objection after hearing this: "Alright, but do you know the way?"

Su Chen: "..."

Su Chen didn't know the way, but he had a map.

With the help of the map, Su Chen barely managed to make out the direction. Following the map's guidance, he turned back and headed towards the market.

The return trip was much quieter than the trip to the Wisteria Mountains.

After walking for three days and three nights, Su Chen did not encounter any bad people.

Of course, there were strangers, but they were more wary of Su Chen than Su Chen was of them, fearing that Su Chen would make a move.

Su Chen had no interest in taking the initiative and flew towards the market.

Since absorbing the spirit of the yellow sand, Su Chen has been able to walk in the desert as if it were flat ground.

Occasionally, they can easily avoid sandstorms, extremely cold nights, and toxic creatures.

Moreover, unlike others, it doesn't consume a lot of physical energy, and you can replenish it at any time.

After flying for more than half a month, Su Chen gradually arrived at the edge of the market.

After arriving here, the number of martial artists gradually increased. Upon seeing so many people, the Heaven-Slaying Blade obediently returned to its sheath and remained silent.

Su Chen was alone, so he slowed down, walking and stopping frequently, watching people along the way.

The desert cuisine quickly caught his attention. Apart from some plants that tenaciously survive in the desert, most of the food here consisted of poisonous insects and the like.

The varieties were incredibly diverse, but Su Chen had tried them and they tasted pretty good.

After wandering around the outskirts, Su Chen arrived at the market town, which resembled a market town with an even larger number of martial artists.

The place was much more lively inside than outside, with martial artists coming and going all looking to make a deal.

Su Chen entered the market and, after asking around, learned where to exchange Pure Yuan Pills.

There is a shop called 'Golden Sand' that not only sells various items, but also provides a service to exchange for elixirs.

"Guest, how many Pure Yuan Pills would you like to exchange?"

Upon entering the shop, Su Chen found the shop assistant and stated his purpose directly. The assistant assumed it was just a regular pawn transaction and didn't pay much attention, only casually asking a question.

Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "Fifty thousand Pure Yuan Pills!"

"How much?" The waiter thought he had misheard.

Su Chen repeated the sentence.

The waiter paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. This amount is quite large and exceeds my capacity. I'll go and call your boss right away."

Fifty thousand Pure Yuan Pills are equivalent to fifty thousand Yellow Yuan Pills. Even the elders of the three major sects don't have this many. They were quite surprised that Su Chen actually carried so many Yellow Yuan Pills.

A moment later, led by the waiter, a middle-aged man came out, cupped his hands in greeting to Su Chen, and said, "Does the guest wish to exchange for 50,000 Pure Yuan Pills?"

Su Chen nodded.

"Please come upstairs with me to complete the transaction!" After receiving confirmation, the middle-aged man smiled respectfully and led Su Chen to the VIP room.

The room is equipped with a soundproofing array to improve sound insulation.

Upon entering the room, the middle-aged man spoke first, "My name is Shen Wan. Did you bring all 50,000 Huangyuan Pills with you, sir?"

Su Chen still didn't answer, but nodded again.

"To be honest, sir, a distinguished guest just exchanged 100,000 Pure Yuan Pills yesterday, so our store is currently short of Pure Yuan Pills. If you don't mind, could you wait three days? After three days, our store will give you an extra 100 Pure Yuan Pills as compensation. How about that?"

Seeing this, the middle-aged man looked troubled. He did not hide anything from Su Chen, but frankly told him the reason.

After hearing this, Su Chen tapped his finger lightly on the table, showing a thoughtful expression. Then he asked, "The Pure Yuan Pill is not urgent. There is something else I would like to ask Manager Shen."

"Please speak freely, sir." Normally, inquiring about information would incur a fee, but since Su Chen was such a significant client, Shenwan decided to waive the fee for him.

Su Chen asked without ceremony, "I wonder if your shop sells any supernatural abilities? If so, I can purchase them with Huang Yuan Pills."

Before coming, Su Chen had inquired and found out that the price of a minor divine ability is generally between 50,000 and 100,000 Pure Yuan Pills, while a major divine ability costs between 100,000 and 500,000 to 5 million Pure Yuan Pills. As for supreme divine abilities, the price is even more unbelievably expensive, with each one costing tens of millions.

However, few people would be foolish enough to sell supreme supernatural powers; at least in Huangsha Market, Su Chen had never heard of such a thing.

Su Chen had 50,000 Yellow Yuan Pills, enough to buy a relatively inferior minor supernatural ability.

If we sell some of the treasures on Hongyue and the others, we might be able to buy two decent minor supernatural abilities.

However, Su Chen would not sell it easily, at least not in Huangsha Market, since this was the territory of the three major sects.

Of course, the biggest problem with buying supernatural powers is not the elixirs, but whether there are any manuals for selling them.

After all, although the desert is remote, there are martial artists with the corresponding purchasing power; the problem is that very few supernatural abilities are sold.

Once the news gets out, it will attract many people to scramble for it.

Su Chen did not intend to buy the original divine ability; a rubbing would suffice. After all, some shops would sell a single divine ability multiple times to maximize their profits.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Shen Wan smiled slightly and said, "Guest, you've come to the right place if you want to buy a supernatural power. May I ask what kind of supernatural power you're looking for? The original or a copy? The former is expensive and requires an auction to buy it out in one go. The latter is much cheaper and doesn't require an auction; you just need to pay the required amount of pills."

"Even great supernatural powers will work?" Su Chen asked, raising an eyebrow.

Shen Wan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Great supernatural powers are extremely precious. We don't have any in our shop at the moment. However, we do have two or three minor supernatural powers, which are generally priced between 50,000 and 100,000. If you are interested, I can help you take a look."

"Tell me in detail what kinds of minor supernatural abilities you have," Su Chen said immediately.

Shen Wan didn't keep Su Chen in suspense and introduced, "The three supernatural abilities are the Soul Searching Technique, the Blood Escape Technique, and the Sand Fury."

Among them, the Soul Searching Technique is a primordial spirit-type supernatural power, and it is the most expensive, requiring 90,000 Yellow Yuan Pills. Its function is to steal the memories of martial artists, but it is extremely dangerous to cultivate. If one fails, one may become an idiot.

Both the Blood Escape Technique and Sand Fury are physical supernatural abilities, priced at 50,000 and 60,000 Yellow Yuan Pills respectively. The former is suitable for escape, while the latter is suitable for combat. They are relatively easy to cultivate; a typical martial artist can cultivate both to their limit in about fifty years, while a talented individual can do so in about ten years. (End of Chapter)
