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

"what!"

The piercing screams echoed across the vast desert, as if they had materialized into sound waves, penetrating layer by layer and reaching Yin Luo's ears, making her tremble with fear.

For a martial artist with supernatural powers, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their physical body is pure and flawless. Having undergone the baptism of their own Yuan Power, the Yuan Power of Heaven and Earth, and the power of supernatural powers, even a piece of flesh within their body contains pure energy.

It is far more valuable than those martial artists below the level of supernatural powers, but even so, as far as Yin Luo knows, no one has ever dared to refine a martial artist with supernatural powers.

On the one hand, such behavior is no different from evil and heretical practices in the entire world. If it were to spread, it would be condemned by everyone and would be classified as a demonic act.

On the other hand, although the energy in the flesh and blood and primordial spirit of a supernatural martial artist is pure, refining it is not so simple. No matter what level of martial artist one is, unpredictable changes will occur during the refining process when refining a supernatural martial artist.

Because during the long refining process, the martial artist being refined may self-destruct; or a Yuan energy storm may occur during the refining process. This is not limited to one party; both the refiner and the refined party may experience a Yuan energy storm for some unknown reason. The refining may also fail, resulting in serious injury and even damage to one's foundation. Even if the refining is successful, problems may arise during subsequent use.

There are hundreds of possible bad outcomes, not to mention the inevitable problems that will occur during the refining process, such as impurities in the refined energy or impurities in the refined elemental energy. So many reasons are enough to make any martial artist give up refining other martial artists.

Yin Luowan never expected that Su Chen would be so bold as to openly refine it; this was simply reckless.

Wait, isn't it better for me if he doesn't risk his life?

Yin Luo suddenly realized what was happening, her expression froze slightly, she suppressed all her surprise, ignored Zhao Lin's screams in her ears, and then stared at Su Chen with wide eyes and a hint of expectation, hoping that Su Chen's refining process would end in failure.

Even if Su Chen doesn't die, he'll be injured, and she can escape effortlessly and then take the opportunity to kill him.

Thinking of this, she quickly opened the Image Stone and recorded it.

Su Chen, of course, had no idea what Yin Luo was thinking. Hearing Zhao Lin's screams, a look of joy appeared on his face.

It wasn't the pleasure derived from torturing Zhao Lin, but rather the rapid increase in the progress of the Heavenly Wood Technique on the panel.

This speed increased rapidly as Su Chen refined the Heavenly Wood energy on Zhao Lin's body.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the Heavenly Wood Technique, which was originally at only 20% progress, jumped directly to 90%.

We are only 10 percent away from reaching our limit.

Logically speaking, once Zhao Lin finishes refining Su Chen's Heavenly Wood Technique, he should reach his limit.

Su Chen thought so too, but the actual situation was not as he wished.

Just as Zhao Lin was about to vanish into thin air, the progress on the panel was still five percentage points short.

"I wonder if that piece of lightning-struck wood counts as the essence of plants."

Su Chen frowned and pondered. Being only five percent short was a bit painful for him, so he wanted to take this opportunity to refine it all.

Just now, when Su Chen was fighting Zhao Lin, he once again severed his opponent's arm, and the lightning-struck wood fell not far away.

After refining Zhao Lin, Su Chen used his Yuan Power to roll up the lightning-struck wood and began refining it.

"Hmm? It works!"

To his surprise, the refining process went very smoothly.

With the energy from the lightning-struck wood as a supplement, Su Chen quickly discovered that the last empty slot on the Heavenly Wood Technique panel was immediately filled.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Wood Great Technique reached its limit.

A strange feeling welled up in his heart. It was a kind of control that a king was born with, a control that could be directly applied to flowers, plants and trees. It was as if Su Chen could command the four directions wherever there were plants, just like a king!
At the same time, Su Chen also felt that he had vaguely established some kind of subtle connection with the desert. This connection was very profound, like a plant rooted deep in the desert, which required sufficient spiritual perception to detect.

Su Chen knew that his feeling was correct. This connection came from the plants in the desert. He also understood why Zhao Lin could exert his full strength even in the desert. Now he could do the same, and without using the power of Hunyuan.

"If this perception were stronger, I could control the situation within a radius of ten thousand meters, and maybe I could even use this perception to find the Spirit of the Yellow Sand again!"

Su Chen thought to himself.

I have a clear understanding of my own abilities.

Having cultivated a great supernatural power to its limit, he can now be considered a martial artist who has achieved minor mastery of supernatural powers.

Thinking of this, a cold smile crept onto Su Chen's lips as he turned his gaze toward Yin Luo in the distance.

At this moment, Yin Luo's mind was filled with the scene of Su Chen successfully refining Zhao Lin. She stood there like a statue, completely unaware of Su Chen's gaze. By the time she realized it, it was too late; Su Chen had already arrived in front of Yin Luo.

Upon seeing Su Chen, Yin Luo's eyes revealed a complex expression, a mixture of shock, apprehension, disbelief, and panic.

Su Chen noticed the change in Yin Luo's eyes and asked with interest, "Judging from your expression, you don't seem afraid at all that I'm going to kill you?"

"Of course not. Do you think being afraid will stop you from killing me?"

Yin Luo smiled bitterly. He had witnessed Su Chen kill the people of Huangshamen with his own eyes. What could he do even if he was afraid? How could Su Chen possibly let him go?

The reason the other party didn't kill me must be because I still have some value to them.

What do you need me to do to let me go?

Yin Luo took a deep breath and looked at Su Chen, asking.

She didn't want to die; she was willing to sacrifice herself to stay alive.

Su Chen understood the meaning in the other person's eyes. He chuckled and said, "I'm not interested in your body, but you guessed right. I do have a use for you. As long as you obediently hand over all the Pure Yuan Pills in the Golden Sand, I might consider letting you go."

"All the Pure Yuan Pills from the Golden Sands?"

Yin Luo was taken aback upon hearing this, not because she was surprised by the high conditions Su Chen had proposed, but because the conditions were simply too low.

Even if Su Chen asked for all of Golden Sands' wealth, she would have thought it was normal.

After all, given her status and position, it was entirely within her capabilities to do so.

At least in the desert, that was certainly the case; with just a word from her, she could give away all her wealth.

The only problem is how to explain it to headquarters afterwards.

But to everyone's surprise, Su Chen only wanted the Pure Yuan Pill and nothing else.

For a moment, Yin Luo even had the feeling that Su Chen might have something wrong with his brain.

After all, compared to the wealth in the Golden Sand, the Pure Yuan Pill is really insignificant.

However, it was precisely because Su Chen was 'mentally ill' that Yin Luo quickly came up with an idea. She agreed without much hesitation: "Okay, but I don't have that many Pure Yuan Pills on me. I need you to come back to the market with me so I can gather them all up and give them to you. What do you think?"

"No problem." Su Chen smiled and released Yin Luo's restraints.

With his current strength, he is not afraid of Yin Luo escaping at all. There is only one outcome for her to escape: death and annihilation.

Yin Luo was clearly aware of this as well, and showed no intention of running away. Instead, he took Su Chen with him, and the two of them concealed their presence as they headed towards the market, one after the other.

Before long, the two returned to the market. To be on the safe side, Su Chen concealed his identity, and some of the maids who had seen him before did not know that the person in front of them was the same Su Chen from before.

"Someone, bring out all the Pure Yuan Pills we have here!"

Because her capable assistant Shen Wan was killed by Su Chen, Yin Luo had to find other stewards. Fortunately, Golden Sands had more than just Shen Wan as a steward.

Upon hearing Yin Luo's command, an old man immediately stepped forward and replied, "Yes!"

While Yin Luo mobilized all the Pure Yuan Pills, Su Chen sat to the side, leisurely and content.

He was silently planning which supernatural power to cultivate once the Pure Yuan Pill arrived.

Now, his offensive supernatural power includes the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, and his auxiliary supernatural power includes the Heavenly Wood Great Technique. Among the remaining supernatural powers, the most powerful should be the Earth Dragon Ascending to Heaven Technique, the Mountain and River Great Handprint, and the Great and Small Ruyi. Others include the Flooding of Jinshan Temple and the Soul Searching Great Technique.

He actually wanted to cultivate all of them, but he also knew that the Golden Sands probably didn't have that many Pure Yuan Pills. After all, it takes a million Pure Yuan Pills to cultivate a divine ability to its limit, so he needed to think about which divine ability to cultivate first.

"For now, offensive supernatural abilities can be put aside for the time being. After all, with the Heaven-Slaying Blade and the Heaven-Severing Blade complementing each other, their power is no weaker than that of some martial artists who have mastered supernatural abilities. On the contrary, auxiliary supernatural abilities can be used to deepen cultivation. For example, the Soul-Searching Technique is extremely helpful for me to acquire other supernatural abilities. With it, I can obtain more supernatural abilities."

Once you have mastered ten different supernatural abilities, you can focus on improving their level so that you can break through to the beginner, minor, major, and perfect levels of supernatural abilities at the Yuan Power level more quickly.

Although I have now reached the minor level of supernatural powers, my Yuan energy is not keeping up, which prevents me from fully utilizing my strength. If this continues, I'm afraid I won't have enough Yuan energy to unleash my great supernatural powers many times.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to find supernatural powers and cultivate diligently to break through the limits of Yuan power before considering other things.

Of course, I can't just choose any supernatural power; I need to choose one that's useful to me.

After cultivating a great supernatural power to its limit, Su Chen vaguely felt a hidden limitation.

It is a restriction on the number of supernatural abilities a martial artist can cultivate.

Su Chen knew that this limitation would become more and more obvious as the level and number of supernatural abilities a martial artist cultivated increased.

In the end, unless one improves their supernatural abilities, they will be unable to cultivate any more.

He didn't know if the panel could overcome this limitation, but the appearance of this feeling caught Su Chen's attention.

This prevents him from freely choosing supernatural powers to cultivate.

If the panel can't help him break through the limitations, and he has cultivated a bunch of unrelated minor supernatural abilities, wouldn't that greatly limit his growth?

This is a situation that Su Chen does not want to see.

Furthermore, Su Chen also sensed that this restriction did not only originate from his body, but also seemed to originate from some kind of rule.

The panel might be able to break the limitations of the body, but Su Chen didn't think it could work against the limitations of the rules.

Under such circumstances, Su Chen naturally had to be very careful in choosing which supernatural abilities to cultivate.

However, he already had a preliminary idea in mind.

Since the Primordial Chaos Power has already merged with the power of the Five Elements, this method can be used as a reference when cultivating supernatural abilities later.

That is to cultivate supernatural powers related to the Five Elements, which will make it easier to improve later.

After all, in the Ten Directions World, the Five Elements Divine Power is the most basic divine power, and it is also easy to improve.

That being said, there are very few people in the entire Ten Directions World who can cultivate all five elemental supernatural powers to their limit.

It's just the foundation; the further you go, the more difficult it becomes. Without talent, perseverance, and good fortune, it's impossible to cultivate all five elements' great supernatural powers to their limits.

"First, cultivate the Soul Searching Technique, then the Size of the Divine Power, then the Earth Dragon Ascending to Heaven Technique, and finally the Mountain and River Great Handprint and the Flood of Jinshan Temple. These two supernatural powers can be integrated with each other, making them easier to cultivate!"

Su Chen sorted them in order.

Not long after, Yin Luo entered the room and saw Su Chen, who had been resting with his eyes closed, open them and look at her. A fleeting look of panic flashed in his eyes. She slowly walked forward to Su Chen and whispered, "The Pure Yuan Pills are ready, a total of 1.2 million Pure Yuan Pills!"

One million two hundred thousand!

Su Chen was somewhat disappointed; there weren't many, and he could barely cultivate one supernatural ability to its limit.

However, he didn't show any emotion and said to Yin Luo, "Okay!"

Yin Luo carried more than ten boxes into the room and handed them to Su Chen.

Su Chen did not verify the abilities, but instead said to Yin Luo, "Let me take a look at all the supernatural powers you have here."

"Yes!"

Yin Luo was quite clever and didn't ask any more questions. After responding, she withdrew.

She was not at all surprised by Su Chen's sudden change of mind.

She has already notified the people of the three major sects. Now all she has to do is obey Su Chen and wait for him to be careless before delivering a fatal blow.

After Yin Luo left, Su Chen rolled up the Pure Yuan Pill and began to refine it frantically.

Large quantities of Pure Yuan Pills transformed into pure Yuan Power and entered Su Chen's body, completely repairing the damage he had just suffered.

At the same time, the progress of the Soul Searching Technique also increased rapidly.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Soul Searching Technique had completed half of its progress.

While Su Chen was focused on refining the pills, Yin Luo finally met up with the people from the three major sects.

The Huangsha Sect, the Blood Shadow Sect, and the Hidden Moon Sect each brought a large number of troops, rushing in from three different directions.

Shortly after they arrived above the Golden Sands, they noticed Yin Luo below.

Fearing that this group might alert the enemy, Yin Luo arrived early to join the others. Anxious for them, she transmitted her thoughts to the members of the three major sects, saying, "Everyone, the murderer who killed your disciples and elders is inside the Golden Sands, but I am no match for him. That's why I summoned you all. This person is very strong, no weaker than someone who has reached the Great Perfection of Divine Power. Please do not act rashly. Let me lure him out, then we'll trap him!" (End of Chapter)
