The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 689 Divination and Proposal Lead to Success

After leaving the bamboo forest, Chen Ping'an and Gu Qingchan quickly returned to Xuanling City.

The auction ended, and the bamboo forest transaction was completed. Logically speaking, neither of them needed to stay in Xuanling.

However, on the way out, Gu Qingchan mentioned her next plans to Chen Ping'an.

"Ping An, I have gained some insights from this trip to Xuanling and will need to retreat there for a while. It could be as short as half a month, or as long as a month."

During the conversation, Gu Qingchan also asked Chen Ping'an for his opinion.

Should we leave first, or wait for her to emerge from seclusion so we can return to Canglong together?

Gu Qingchan's suggestion was exactly what Chen Ping'an wanted to hear. Naturally, he couldn't choose to leave first, so he immediately said that he was willing to wait for Senior Gu to emerge from seclusion and return to Canglong together.

In fact, even if Gu Qingchan didn't mention it, Chen Ping'an would find a reason to stay in Xuanling City for a few more days.

He couldn't possibly leave before he had even secured the monster's blood.

Chen Ping'an's choice was quite in line with Gu Qingchan's wishes.

Chen Ping'an is currently unemployed in the prefecture and has no official duties, so staying away for a few more days is not a big deal.

In addition, traveling together as a pair offers some mutual support.

After all, interstate travel carries significantly greater risks.

However, this is just an extra layer of protection. With Chen Ping'an's current combat strength, even traveling alone wouldn't be a big deal.

Generally speaking, once one's combat strength reaches the advanced stage of the Profound Light realm, one has the strength and confidence to move freely within the state. If traveling in groups, even interstate journeys are not a big deal.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Grandmaster level, it is common for them to travel and experience different regions.

Although Chen Ping'an's cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Jade Balance realm, his combat strength is that of a true Grandmaster of Martial Arts. With such combat strength, there is naturally not much risk involved in simply traveling.

Generally speaking, a Grandmaster-level combatant can be considered a high-level combatant anywhere.

The difference lies in their specific position within the high-level combat force: whether they are at the bottom or a mainstay.

Upon arriving in Xuanling City, Chen Ping'an and Gu Qingchan naturally parted ways.

Gu Qingchan went into seclusion at the Gu family's base in Xuanling City. With Gu family experts stationed there, both her safety and privacy were guaranteed.

As for Chen Ping'an, he returned to Xiaozhu Yayuan, located in the inner city.

"I've gained something from this." Chen Ping'an's gaze shifted, his heart filled with gratitude for Gu Qingchan's kindness.

Gu Qingchan wasn't heavily involved in the bamboo forest transaction. Clearly, her trip there was primarily to introduce Chen Ping'an to the deal.

The occasional gains that Gu Qingchan mentioned were probably not related to the bamboo forest transaction; they must have occurred a few days earlier.

It's just that the bamboo forest trade has kept us here.

Now that everything is settled and his request has been fulfilled, I will go into seclusion.

“Gu Qingchan.” Chen Ping’an’s face was calm, but there was a ripple in his eyes.

"Treasures from the sea, pearls from the North Sea, and mineral essences from the water system."

Inside the pavilion, beams of precious light flickered and hovered before Gu Qingchan's eyes.

Gu Qingchan had a light blue mark drawn between her brows, seemingly naturally formed. Her long, flowing black hair was smooth, silky, and endlessly light. She wore an ice-blue long dress that rolled like waves, the icy blue color seemingly able to wash away the dust of the world.

hum~
A flash of light appeared, and the exquisite Ruyi Ring spiraled out, shrinking to the size of a palm.

"My destined divine weapon".

Gu Qingchan's starry eyes sparkled, and amidst the pale blue light, the essence of the Mystic Maiden quietly emerged.

Using the precious minerals of the sea, containing the wondrous pearls of the shark, to refine divine weapons of exceptional quality.

Inside the room, Chen Ping'an sat cross-legged, with a scroll in front of him, which he flipped through casually as it flickered with spiritual light.

This scroll was naturally the literary scroll he had traded from the Grandmaster of Tianwu Pavilion.

The book only records information about divination, and provides a relatively detailed description of divination deductions.

However, this description is only a framework, not a specific method of cultivation.

After some research, Chen Ping'an gained a deeper understanding of divination.

Divination and deduction, though different, ultimately share the same origin, and are often involved in specific practices.

"Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Astrology and Celestial Trigrams, Destiny and Heavenly Secrets, I Ching Numerology, and the Zhou Tian Tui Bei (a classic text on divination)."

These are all well-known masterpieces in the field of divination, some of which contain divination traditions and can be used for literary and spiritual cultivation.

In this era of flourishing martial arts, there are undoubtedly far fewer practitioners of literature compared to those who practice martial arts.

Furthermore, the cultivation of literature and Tao is extremely difficult to enter the path of Taoism. It is not obvious in the early stages and is difficult to advance in the middle stages. Most of them have little presence.

Even among the students who successfully graduate from the two great academies each term, their combat prowess is not particularly impressive when fighting alone.

For the general public, the understanding of literature and spiritual practice is limited to reading, writing, and scholarship.

As for more, that's something to be desired.

In the practice of literature and Taoism, it is difficult to make much progress before reaching a certain level.

A student from an academy who has diligently cultivated literary skills for over a decade will not differ much from an ordinary person in terms of combat prowess. At most, they will have a clearer mind, broader thinking, and a significantly different outlook and demeanor.

However, if it comes to physical combat, a low-level cultivator of literature and martial arts might not be as strong as a burly man in the marketplace.

However, on the other hand, most practitioners of the literary arts, unless they have exceptionally poor aptitude for martial arts, will cultivate some martial arts to some extent. It's not for any particular reason, but simply to ensure good health and abundant vital energy.

Those who can cultivate the Way of Literature usually come from distinguished families, and such practitioners are unlikely to be weak in martial arts.

At least, using resources alone, it's still possible to reach the Inner Qi Realm. It's just a matter of how much investment is required.

Some truly top-tier nobles, while cultivating their literary and martial arts, can still achieve remarkable accomplishments.

However, for them, practicing martial arts is merely a means to cultivate literary arts.

The way of literature and the way of the Way is the art of the Great Way.

They have this idea, and naturally they have something to rely on; it's not just empty talk.

When one reaches the middle stage of literary cultivation, one can reveal various mysterious and miraculous abilities, such as fortune telling, divination, face reading, and the art of observing one's destiny.

In addition, there are many other literary and Taoist secret techniques, such as reversing the five elements and inverting yin and yang.

Although it has many limitations, once it is used, the effect is extremely terrifying.

As for literary cultivation, once it reaches a high level, its power is probably not far off from that of martial arts. In addition, the literary path is mysterious and unique, with more opportunities to utilize it, and often allows one to take up positions in special organizations.

For the dynasty, those who cultivate literature and morality were also indispensable.

Only in this way could the two university palaces have flourished and existed.

However, no matter how prosperous the two academies were, they could not compare to the overwhelming momentum of martial arts.

Whether it was out of understanding of the literary path or because he wanted to guide the little girl onto that path, Chen Ping'an was quite curious about the matter of the literary path.

Now, thanks to this divination scroll, he has been able to glimpse a corner of the literary path.

"Divination and prognosis, glimpsing heavenly secrets and deducing destiny, must be avoided frequently, otherwise, at best, it will shorten one's lifespan, and at worst, it will invite a backlash from heaven. No wonder so many scholars and practitioners of the Dao have failed to reach the end. Besides the factor of talent, there are probably many other limiting factors."

"By using the tools of literature and divination, one can enhance one's calculations. If it is a tool for divination, the effect is even better. Knowing good and bad fortune, understanding destiny, one can anticipate the enemy's moves, seize the initiative, and remain invincible! If one cultivates to a high level, one can manipulate the laws of destiny, gather the energy of the moment, and with the combined power of heaven and earth, kill the enemy invisibly!"

"."

After learning more, Chen Ping'an's interest in divination grew stronger. Such literary and artistic secrets were truly incredible.

Divination can reveal future trends, and the secrets of heaven can reveal the changes in the world.
It follows a completely different path from martial arts cultivation.

"It's a pity there's no specific cultivation method; otherwise, I could have given it a try." As the book slowly fell, Chen Ping'an sighed softly.

If he has a divination tradition, he could try it out to see if the cheat system is compatible. If it is, then he might be able to go even further.

but
Chen Pingan smiled and shook his head.

In the path of spiritual practice, one must avoid distractions and not try to do too much at once.

He has a cheat code panel, which can increase the space for more choices and accommodate more cultivation paths, but when it comes to cultivation, he still has to keep this point in mind.

hum~
As the spiritual light gradually brightened and his true essence flowed, Chen Ping'an's mind became calm, as clear as a pool of spiritual water.

His Guanghan Sword Technique is also nearing completion.

Early the next morning, Chen Ping'an left Xiaozhu Yayuan and, as usual, spent the day wandering around Xuanling Zhongcheng.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he passed by Xuanling Mountain, the core of Chongcheng, during his stroll.

Those who can stay at Xuanling Mountain are truly top-tier nobles. Outsiders are generally pseudo-celestial beings.

Only those with special backgrounds receive special treatment.

After a day of sightseeing, Chen Ping'an returned to Xiaozhu Yayuan and waited until late at night.

A figure shrouded entirely in a gray robe left the Xiaozhu Yayuan without anyone noticing.

"I haven't used my pseudonym for many days, so I'm a bit rusty."

With the black iron mask, Chen Ping'an used a new disguise this time.

With a hunched back and dark markings on his face, he had a sinister and terrifying appearance.

As a major commercial city, Xuanling City remains bustling with activity even late at night.

After leaving Xiaozhu Yayuan, Chen Ping'an revealed himself, controlling his aura at the Grandmaster level.

Although Xuanling Mountain is called a mountain, it is actually a blessed land. The mountain-like buildings are layered upon each other, with cave dwellings, pavilions and palaces of different sizes.

The area at the foot of Xuanling Mountain was naturally heavily guarded.

However, Chen Ping'an did not intend to force his way in. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he took the initiative to inform others that he wanted to find Fellow Daoist Hei Yan of Hengshan Sect.

"Please inform him that an old friend is visiting." His figure was concealed beneath his gray robe, and his voice was sinister, with a chilling intent.

As he spoke, Chen Ping'an handed over an iron plate, which contained a wisp of his vital energy.

"Wait a moment, senior."

The guards, not daring to be negligent, immediately relayed the message.

Those who come and go to Xuanling Mountain are no ordinary people; most of them have lived for many years and have different temperaments, among them are quite eccentric individuals.

Their job is to relay messages; whether they can enter depends on the master of the place.

"Please come in, senior."

In less than fifteen minutes, Chen Ping'an received a reply.

"Lead the way." Chen Ping'an's voice was cold and menacing, sending chills down one's spine.

The guards felt a chill run down their spines and goosebumps rose on their skin.

However, he dared not be careless, and with a smile on his face, he led the way.

While the salary for guarding Xuanling Mountain is decent, it's not a job that just anyone can do.

Led by the guards, Chen Ping'an soon arrived at a secluded courtyard halfway up the mountain.

Before he even got close, a blazing and domineering divine soul force swept out from the courtyard without restraint.

Chen Ping'an snorted coldly: "Fellow Daoist Heiyan, this is so rude. This is not how you treat a guest."

As he spoke, a surge of powerful spiritual energy broke through the barrier, blocking the divine power that the other party was scanning towards him.

Inside the courtyard, Old Monster Black Rock let out a soft exclamation, not expecting that his divine soul power would be so easily isolated.

"Not a Grandmaster?"

A suspicion arose in his mind, but it quickly dissipated.

"Fellow Daoist has come from afar, please come in quickly."

Inside the courtyard, Chen Ping'an and Black Rock Old Monster sat facing each other.

"Fellow Daoist, your face is unfamiliar. May I ask where you come from?"

Black Rock Old Monster's voice was deep and resonant, his words pulsating with energy as he probed the other party's background.

"This old man's bones come from another realm."

Chen Ping'an's aura surged, his blood and qi gushed forth, revealing his extremely powerful body-refining skills.

Feeling the power vibrating in the space, Old Monster Black Rock was slightly startled.

"What kind of body-refining technique is this?"

The other person was hunched over, with sagging skin and a frail appearance, yet their aura was incredibly powerful, in no way inferior to his own. Furthermore, the coexistence of a chilling aura and a powerful presence was extremely eerie. Black Rock Old Monster straightened his expression, abandoning his initial underestimation.

Although he was surprised that the other party could block his soul's detection, he hadn't paid much attention to it. As an old monster standing at the top among pseudo-celestial beings, he had the right to look down on the vast majority of his peers.

But now, he dares not be careless in the slightest.

The opponent's physical cultivation skills were in no way inferior to his, and were even more bizarre.

If they were to actually fight, I wonder what secret techniques they would employ.

"Yougu?" Old Monster Heiyan secretly guessed the other party's background while communicating with him.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and probing questions, Old Monster Blackrock got straight to the point and asked about the other party's purpose: "I wonder what business Fellow Daoist Yougu has come to see me?"

"This old man desires something from Fellow Daoist Heiyan." Chen Ping'an's voice was cold, low, and hoarse: "I hope Fellow Daoist will grant me this favor."

"What is it?" Old Monster Black Rock snorted.

"True blood of the Xuan Turtle!" Chen Ping'an made no attempt to conceal his intentions and directly stated the item being traded.

In the face of such a seasoned veteran, playing the game of feigning indifference would seem too naive; it would be better to be straightforward and direct.

"How did you know that I possess something you desire?" Old Monster Black Rock narrowed his eyes, his tone unfriendly.

"Fellow Daoist need not delve into the specific reasons." Facing the Black Rock Old Monster's hostility, Chen Ping'an's face remained unchanged: "This old man only asks whether Fellow Daoist is willing to make a deal."

"Fellow Daoist Yougu, are you threatening me?" Old Monster Heiyan's face was gloomy, and his back, like a giant mountain boulder, began to churn, as if an earth dragon were turning over.

"Fellow Daoist Heiyan misunderstands. I didn't mean that," Chen Ping'an said coldly and calmly. "However, I believe you will be interested in what I have here."

"Oh?" Old Monster Black Rock turned his head and looked over.

Chen Ping'an pulled up a gray robe, and a jade book of inheritance, entirely black with a faint hint of blood red, appeared.

hum~
As the true energy surged, a unique artistic conception belonging to the external martial arts method emerged.

"The Myriad Demons Body Forging Technique!" Old Monster Black Rock's eyes widened as he stared intently at Chen Ping'an beneath the inheritance jade scroll: "Who are you?"

The Myriad Demons Body Forging Technique, one of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect's most treasured techniques, may not be considered particularly outstanding in rank among supreme divine arts, but it is a genuine method of body tempering, making it extremely attractive to those who cultivate physical strength.

Especially for pseudo-celestial beings like the Black Rock Monster, whose path to enlightenment has been cut off, but who need external means, techniques, and secret arts to enhance their combat power.

However, the Black Rock Monster, who had reigned for hundreds of years, was not unsophisticated.

The moment he recognized the Myriad Demons Body Forging Technique, he coldly rebuked it, his aura surging.

"Where did it come from?"

Faced with Black Rock Old Monster's attempt to intimidate him, Chen Ping'an's eyes were deep, and he sneered twice: "Fellow Daoist Black Rock, there's no need to delve into this. I have my own methods."

Black Rock Monster's aura remained undiminished, his muscles twisting like a writhing dragon, as if he were about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

Chen Ping'an's face was calm, his gray robes deathly still.

"I am sincerely willing to make this deal, and you are welcome to accept it. Since I dare to offer it, I am not afraid that you will embezzle it."

Chen Ping'an's voice was hoarse, but it exuded boundless confidence.

Black Rock Old Monster stared at Chen Ping'an for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Yougu, you are indeed confident. However, I am not an unreasonable person. Since Fellow Daoist Yougu is sincere in making a deal, then I will give you face."

hum~
With a flash of light, a white jade porcelain bottle containing the true blood of the Xuan Turtle appeared before his eyes.

"However, the true blood of the Xuan Turtle is quite valuable. Whether or not you can acquire it depends on your sincerity."

An ordinary external cultivation technique, while attractive to a peak pseudo-celestial being, wouldn't be that appealing. But if it's combined with a huge amount of Yuan Crystals, then the appeal becomes questionable.

The phrase "wealth, companionship, law, and land" begins with "wealth." While resources and spiritual objects are precious, the allure of Yuanjing (元晶), as a form of hard currency, is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Especially when the quantity of elemental crystals reaches a certain level.

However, Chen Ping'an's cultivation of the Azure Sun Blood Refining Technique required far more than just the bottle of Xuan Turtle True Blood that the Black Rock Old Monster had provided. And clearly, the Golden-Patterned Xuan Turtle was enormous, and the amount of True Blood from a single Golden-Patterned Xuan Turtle was far greater than that.

Therefore, early in the morning, Chen Ping'an expressed that Black Rock Old Monster's sincerity was insufficient, as this amount of Xuan Turtle True Blood was too rare to be worth the price of a trade.

Black Rock Old Monster naturally could not accept this, believing that this Golden-Striped Xuan Turtle had a mutated bloodline and was of extraordinary value, incomparable to ordinary Earth-grade bloodlines.

The value of this bottle of Xuan Turtle True Blood is sufficient.

Faced with Chen Ping'an's request, Black Rock Old Monster pretended to be unwilling, but in reality, he took the opportunity to raise the price.

He stated frankly that he had other uses for the remaining true blood, and could only trade this one bottle.

After a heated argument, Black Rock Old Monster finally relented under Chen Ping'an's pressure with Yuan Crystals.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping'an felt a sense of relief.

“Sure enough, there is more!”

While a bottle of Xuan Turtle True Blood could allow him to cultivate, it was clearly insufficient to sustain him until he reached perfection. If Old Monster Black Rock didn't have it, it would be an extremely troublesome matter for him.

In the end, after a series of negotiations, Chen Ping'an managed to trade several bottles of Xuan Turtle True Blood from Black Rock Old Monster.

For this transaction, Chen Ping'an also paid the inheritance jade scroll of the Myriad Demon Body Forging Technique, as well as a huge amount of Yuan Crystals.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Black Rock Old Monster killed Chen Ping'an.

Suppressing his displeasure, Chen Ping'an negotiated and managed to recover some of his losses during the transaction. In addition to acquiring the True Blood of the Xuan Turtle, he also obtained some ordinary Xuan Turtle Blood.

In addition, they also obtained several pieces of broken golden-patterned tortoise shell.

Although this golden-patterned black tortoise, with its benignly mutated top-grade earth-level bloodline, failed to successfully transform into human form, the value of its shell is probably even greater than that of a typical quasi-fourth-grade treasure.

However, the only drawback is that these tortoise shells are all fragments, clearly damaged during a major battle. Compared to other treasures of the same grade, they are both too small and of slightly inferior quality.

The Golden-Striped Black Tortoise is enormous. A fully grown Golden-Striped Black Tortoise with a shell that is seven or eight zhang long, or even ten zhang long, would be considered normal.

If you were to break down the fragments of the tortoise shell, you could get many pieces.

This acquisition is merely a bonus in this deal.

Ultimately, with their differing intentions, the two concluded the transaction satisfactorily.

After declining the invitation from the Black Rock Monster to have a chat, Chen Ping'an, dressed in a gray robe and exuding a cold aura, got up and left.

"Ghost Bone?"

Black Rock Old Monster's eyes flickered, revealing a thoughtful expression: "The Myriad Demons Body Forging Technique, the Myriad Demons Sect."

However, he quickly put aside his thoughts, his expression delighted, and focused his gaze on the inheritance jade book he had just acquired in the transaction.

In this transaction, he not only cleaned up the Xuan Turtle's blood, but also obtained a decent external martial arts technique and a considerable amount of Yuan Crystals.

With this foundation, further planning might add another powerful trump card.

Entering Xuanling Mountain is quite difficult, but leaving is much easier.

Returning along the same route, Chen Ping'an successfully exited Xuanling Mountain amidst the awe-inspiring gazes of the crowd.

Chen Ping'an's current disguise is that of an old monster with a cold and sinister aura. No one would want to disturb him rashly in any other matter.

The journey was peaceful and uneventful, without any incidents.

They didn't encounter any powerful experts on Xuanling Mountain.

"True blood of the Xuan Turtle, trade secured!"

Beneath his grey robe, a hint of joy flashed in Chen Ping'an's usually serene eyes.

After much planning, Chen Ping'an finally mastered the crucial step in the second refinement of the Qingyang Blood Refining Technique, and he was in a very good mood.

This transaction was conducted entirely under his spiritual guidance, and there was nothing fishy about it.

He personally inspected all the supplies to ensure there were no mistakes.

As for the methods of tracking the marks, he investigated them in advance, eliminating the risks before they even occurred.

This old monster Black Rock was quite sensible; he didn't do this futile work.

However, considering the current situation, Black Rock Monster's sensibility is one aspect, but the intimidation and suppression he has displayed is another.

In this transaction, aside from concealing his martial arts foundation, he revealed everything about his physical strength and blood energy without reservation. In terms of sheer intimidation, he was definitely superior to ordinary pseudo-celestial beings.

The transaction went smoothly not only because they were in Xuanling Mountain, but also because Old Monster Black Rock probably wanted to avoid any unforeseen complications.

If Chen Ping'an had only displayed the combat power of a Grandmaster, today's transaction would not have gone so smoothly.

It's better to have one side control the situation than to let the sheep fall into the tiger's den.

Although Black Rock Monster has a background with the Yokoyama Sect, he is no saint.

Once the deal was done, Chen Ping'an immediately chose to leave.

Although he felt he had made ample preparations for this disguise, his methods were ultimately limited. With such limited information, he couldn't worry about whether it would lead Black Rock Old Monster to make any extra connections.

To obtain the key item, it is still worthwhile to take appropriate risks.

Furthermore, no matter how much Black Rock Monster tries to connect the dots, he can only associate it with his alternate identity. It's extremely difficult to link it to his real identity.

To put it another way, he came here today with the worst-case scenario in mind. If Old Monster Black Rock really had some other intentions, then he was already prepared to fight him.

Although Black Rock Monster has a great reputation, he is not someone to be trifled with.

With all forces unleashed, the outcome remains to be seen.

Furthermore, given his formidable physique, it's unlikely that Black Rock Old Monster would act so impulsively and break the rules of Xuanling Heavy City by making a direct attack on Xuanling Mountain.

Indeed, the transaction went smoothly, and he returned safely.

This transaction not only resulted in a successful outcome, but also further validated the effectiveness of the Black Iron Mask.

Even after prolonged contact with a top-tier pseudo-celestial being, with his current cultivation level, he could activate the Black Profound Iron Mask without revealing the slightest flaw.

Let alone investigating his true background, even if he disguises himself, the other party probably won't be able to find out.

"The Black Iron Mask's inherent concealment and disguise are already so effective; if it were to activate realistic simulation, just how miraculous would it become?"

Thinking of this, Chen Ping'an couldn't help but feel hopeful.

However, the number of slots for the ultimate divine ability of the Black Iron Mask to impersonate others is limited, and although he has already made some plans, he is not in a hurry to use it before actually doing so, in case something changes.

Therefore, he will postpone this matter for a while. He will trigger the true simulation of the Black Iron Mask when the time is right and it is needed.

After adjusting his senses, Chen Ping'an changed his form and returned to Xiaozhu Yayuan smoothly.

During the process, ensure that there are no risks and that everything is stable and reliable.

"Using the inherited jade book for trading, that's a good move."

Inside the room, the light and shadow were intermittent, and several bottles of Xuan Turtle True Blood floated in front of Chen Ping'an.

The jade scroll of inheritance that was traded to Black Rock Old Monster was a manifestation of his own artistic conception, which was carried on the jade scroll.

When martial arts techniques are cultivated to perfection, one can hope to manifest the insights gained in the inherited jade scroll. In this way, one's understanding and insights are passed down.

Aside from those exceptionally talented geniuses, almost everyone in the world who wants to cultivate divine skills or higher uses this method.

However, while this method is effective, the cost is also extremely high.

It does not mean that once a cultivation technique is perfected, one can arbitrarily carry on artistic conceptions and bestow their inheritance.

To truly achieve this, there are many limitations, and even if you succeed, you will suffer significant losses.

Chen Ping'an used this method because he had a solid foundation in martial arts and was eager to make a deal.

It was fortunate that it was him. If it were an ordinary cultivator, even if he had perfected the Myriad Demons Body Forging Technique, he would have been severely weakened for a long time after fully absorbing the intent.

This is why the Jade Book Collection is so precious.

First, there's the requirement for perfecting the technique; second, there's the price to pay.

Even Chen Ping'an, who possesses an indescribable foundation in martial arts, is unwilling to try this too much.

If it happens once, it's fine, but if he takes on too much, even he will need to recuperate for a long time. In terms of his martial arts progress, every day of recuperation represents a significant delay in his progress.

Generally, only grandmasters or top-tier grandmasters who are nearing the end of their lives, or who have some special reason, will carry down their artistic conception and pass on their legacy.

If this happens frequently, it will not only damage one's own essence, but also risk causing confusion of the soul.

This method can be used once or twice, but it is absolutely impossible to use it frequently.

And each time this happens, there will be a significant time interval.

"We've obtained the Xuan Turtle's True Blood; now, what's next?"

Inside the room, Chen Ping'an's eyes shone brightly, his pride overflowing: "Azure Sun Blood Refining Technique, Second Refinement!"
