The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 741 Adding Another Trump Card, the Inheritance of the Sword (Seeking monthly votes at the end of the month~)

hum~
A flash of spiritual light, and the flow of true essence.

In the meditation room, Chen Ping'an sat cross-legged. A palm-sized, gray-black earthenware pot spun and rotated in front of him.

As the light flickered, a dark red glow appeared on the gray-black earthenware pot.

The fake treasure, the Bloodthirsty Demon Jar!

"receive!"

With a thought, Chen Ping'an caused the Bloodthirsty Demon Jar, which had been floating in mid-air, to vanish in an instant.

A flash of inspiration appeared on Chen Ping'an's forehead, and a small, miniature gray-black earthenware pot instantly appeared.

His divine light was contained, as still as death, hovering on his spiritual platform.

In the same space, there is also a deep, dark eye with its vertical pupil tightly closed.

hum~
In the quiet room, the spiritual light gradually dimmed until it disappeared completely.

Chen Pingan slowly opened his eyes, a barely perceptible ripple appearing in them.

After many days of refining, this pseudo-treasure, the Bloodthirsty Demon Jar, was finally successfully refined by him.

From then on, he could fully grasp and utilize the wonders of the Bloodthirsty Pot.

The Bloodthirsty Demon Jar possesses extraordinary power, with its greatest effect being its dual-level divine power.

The first-class divine ability is that one can use the power of the soul to activate the magic jar and generate an invisible pulling force. This pulling force can ignore most defenses and physical strength, and directly affect the vital energy and essence.

In battle, it's impossible to defend against everything.

Aside from relying on one's own level of cultivation and foundation to withstand the test, there are very few other good methods.

Unless it is a targeted defensive measure, or one has cultivated a special type of martial art.

Otherwise, even if attracting and pulling is useless, it is enough to restrain some of the other party's energy.

This pulling power is determined by the spiritual energy invested.

Chen Ping'an estimated that, given his current condition, the attraction and pulling force exerted by his spirituality instead of his divine soul would be too much for a typical Grandmaster to withstand.

Only a pseudo-celestial being, or a grandmaster ranked high on the Wind and Cloud Grandmaster List, can withstand it.

And this was merely a defensive maneuver; the energy and mental strain expended in the process were immeasurable.

In this state, one's combat power will be reduced by at least 30%!

If the foundation is weak or the base is thin, it may be weakened by more than 50%.

Given the existing disparity in strength between the two sides, such a weakening is undoubtedly fatal.

As for the second-tier divine power of the Bloodthirsty Demon Jar, it is that the jar itself serves as a confinement space, using special techniques to suppress and subdue the enemy. During the suppression, there are also invisible pulls that interfere, making it impossible to defend against.

Compared to first-class divine abilities, this type of divine ability is much more difficult to activate. Not only does it consume more resources, but it also requires extremely strict control over precision.

The suppression of the Bloodthirsty Demon Jar differs from that of the Great Seal or Mountain Moving types; it focuses more on entanglement and confinement.

In terms of aggressive attacks, it is considerably inferior.

Even so, this kind of confinement and suppression was more than enough for Chen Ping'an.

If used skillfully, it can be a trump card.

Beyond its two divine abilities, this Bloodthirsty Demon Jar has an additional function, or rather, a derivative function beyond its divine abilities. While attracting blood, a portion of the vital energy is preserved by the jar.

At critical moments, certain techniques can be used to transform stored vital energy into one's own.

Previously, the Demon Lord was able to recover to his full strength by using this effect of the Bloodthirsty Demon Jar.

Due to previous consumption, there is not much essence stored in the Bloodthirsty Demon Jar now.

So for the time being, it wasn't very useful.

It can only be left to be used in subsequent battles, and only when the energy has been stored to a certain level can it be put to use.

Although the Bloodthirsty Demon Jar is a pseudo-treasure, it was once a treasure before its grade dropped.

Its power and wonder are top-tier even among pseudo-heavy treasures.

Normally, pseudo-heavy treasures with this configuration belong to celestial beings.

Even if they are not celestial beings, they are still outstanding among pseudo-celestial beings.

For Chen Ping'an, obtaining such powerful and miraculous abilities is actually good news.

It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the Bloodthirsty Demon Jar, after so many days of refinement, the top-tier divine weapon obtained from Old Man Withered Vine, the Withered Wood Staff, has also been completely refined by Chen Ping'an.

The withered wooden staff is both offensive and defensive, and its power is considerable.

It can generate vines to form a protective barrier, and the vines can also use their binding force to imprison and kill enemies. In addition, the withered wood staff itself can transform into a giant tree seven or eight feet tall, which can be used to defend or attack.

Overall, the Deadwood Staff is weaker in terms of offensive capabilities compared to its defensive capabilities.

However, whether it is weak or not is relative. For ordinary pseudo-celestial beings, the killing power of the withered wooden staff, activated by Chen Ping'an, already poses a considerable threat.

From then on, Chen Ping'an digested all the external things he had previously gained, completely transforming them into his own inner strength.

The next things Chen Ping'an needs to solve are the Golden Illusionary Robe he won at the auction, and the in-depth research and study of the Myriad Demon Blood Restriction and the Soul Guiding Technique.

It is worth mentioning that after successfully refining the Bloodthirsty Demon Jar, Chen Ping'an also readjusted his allocation of time and energy.

Of the energy he previously used to refine pseudo-heavy treasures and top-tier divine weapons, he only devoted a small portion to refining the Golden Illusion Treasure Robe; the rest of his time was mostly devoted to the Myriad Demon Blood Restriction.

The study and practice of the Soul Guiding Technique remain unchanged.

As for the rest of the time, Chen Ping'an focused on refining the Dream Pearl.

However, each time the Dream Pearl is refined, it requires the infusion of spiritual energy and the storage of a certain amount before it can be refined. Therefore, the slight time investment does not have a substantial impact on improving efficiency.

However, it allows Chen Ping'an to do more analysis and speculation about the functions of the Dream Pearl while refining it.

"The invisible barrier surrounding this precious pearl is so troublesome that only those who have truly entered the Celestial Realm can directly begin to refine it!"

After comprehensive analysis, Chen Ping'an came to this conclusion.

His ability to refine the Dream Pearl is largely due to some clever tricks. He infuses it with spiritual energy through these methods, and then refines it after accumulating a certain amount.

Such a ritual is not only inefficient, but also wastes a great deal of time.

This is also one of the important reasons why his progress in refining the Dream Pearl is so slow.

However, if he could directly pass through the invisible barrier to refine the pearl, the efficiency of the refinement would increase by an unknown amount.

Furthermore, after achieving the status of a martial arts master, his spiritual energy will also transform into divine soul power.

Treasures naturally require the power of the soul to activate, so this change should improve efficiency considerably.

No matter how powerful his spiritual energy is, it can never compare to the true power of the soul.

Especially that level of pure divine soul power.

With a thought, Chen Ping'an's eyes narrowed, and a screen of light appeared in front of him.

Name: Chen Ping'an
Realm: Late stage of Jade Balance - Breakthrough through three stages (Ultimate Perfection)
武学：青阳血炼法入门（5215/5760）颠鸾倒凤·阴阳枢入门（225/8640）、广寒剑法（残篇）小成（0/7680）太虚御风步大成（0/14400）七杀天罡拳大成（4715/9600）、霸刀圆满、七绝神功圆满、万魔铸身诀圆满
Secret Techniques: Soul-Guiding Spell, Blood Restriction of Ten Thousand Demons "5215 points!"

Chen Ping'an's expression hardened, and a flash of light appeared in his eyes.

From Canglong Prefecture City to Weishui County City, and from Weishui County City back to Canglong Prefecture City, after repeated arduous training, the stock of Xuan Turtle True Blood has been depleted, and the progress of the second refinement of the Qingyang Blood Refining Method has also come to an end.

Under these circumstances, he will soon be able to perfect the second stage of the Azure Sun Blood Refining Technique.

At that time, you will also be able to appreciate the extraordinary power of the second divine refinement, which is refined from a top-grade mutated bloodline.

Besides the Azure Sun Blood Refining Technique, the progress of his Seven Killings Heavenly Gang Fist cultivation is also steadily improving. He is now close to halfway through his entire cultivation journey.

If things continue like this, the path to becoming a celestial being will be just around the corner.

"A celestial being!" Chen Ping'an sighed softly.

Since returning to Canglong Prefecture, he only went back to the Prefecture Garrison to receive the approved resource support, which he used to exchange for a sword-wielding inheritance. Otherwise, he didn't go anywhere else.

He devoted almost all his energy to spiritual practice.

With the day of breaking through the realm approaching, he naturally wanted to press on with all his might and cultivate it to the point of perfection.

While the Seven Killings Heavenly Gang Fist may still be some time away from perfection, the Azure Sun Blood Refining Technique is clearly very close.

During this period, Chen Ping'an planned to cultivate at home in seclusion, waiting for the blood refinement to be perfected.

Although the Zhenfu Division has duties, he has not been officially appointed yet, so he often turns a blind eye to matters concerning his duties.

Now that he has received resource support, he can practice his spirituality at home every day without anyone saying anything.

This is a perfect opportunity for him to cultivate himself properly. He had previously returned to the Wei River, and his mental energy was already abundant. Although he had undergone arduous cultivation, it had not been greatly depleted.

Now is the perfect time to press on with our momentum.

Once I get the cultivation technique I've exchanged, I might not have that much energy left.

Chen Ping'an smiled and then closed his eyes to cultivate.

The resources provided by the Northern Garrison Command during this phase were substantial, and although they were distributed in the form of merit awards, they still amounted to a considerable sum. Adding this to Chen Ping'an's previous accumulations, he did a thorough calculation and then carefully selected items from the exchange vault.

Ultimately, after ruling out various martial arts techniques, a lineage of swordsmanship was established.

The ultimate divine skill, the Thunderous Blade Technique!
The Thunderous Blade Technique possesses the force of a raging wind and the fury of thunder. This kind of blade technique is expansive and powerful, swift and fierce, lacking neither speed nor imposing presence, perfectly suited to Chen Ping'an's taste.

Ah, no, I should say, it perfectly matches the character of the brute.

The Thunderous Blade Technique has a well-established lineage and a long history, making it a top-tier divine skill that touches upon the realm of true martial arts manuals.

According to the manual, the final secret technique of the Thunderous Blade Technique involves the true essence of blade fighting.

In terms of sheer power, it can rival the True Skill Scroll.

However, that secret technique seems to have some shortcomings. The price to pay when activating it is extremely high. Considering everything, it is not as good as a true martial arts manual.

However, the Thunderous Blade Technique is exceptionally rare, far surpassing the value of ordinary top-tier divine skills. Fortunately, this particular Thunderous Blade Technique has a flawed lineage of artistic conception, which slightly diminishes its value.

Thus, Chen Ping'an was able to exchange for the resources he received after being supported by the Northern Border Garrison.

However, while it lacks a certain artistic conception, overall, the deficiency isn't significant. It's far better than the "Tai Xu Yu Feng Bu" (a martial arts technique).

Such flawed cultivation techniques are not uncommon in the treasure vault and are subject to exchange.

After all, mastering supreme divine skills is difficult, and not everyone can fully grasp the essence of them after just one comprehension.

In the process, repeated insights are inevitable.

Aside from special circumstances, most of the inherited artistic conceptions are only prepared for one realization.

If you are experiencing the same thing repeatedly, you will need to add more, or you should prepare a backup in advance.

When repeatedly experiencing and contemplating something, the essence that has already been grasped naturally does not need to be experienced again. Therefore, the process of experiencing and contemplating often involves precise selection, which in turn results in the loss of some essence.

Even after the loss of artistic conception, the inheritance of this skill can still be sold to reduce the cost of cultivation.

Such situations are commonplace.

Similar techniques are often found at trade fairs, auctions, and other venues.

Chen Ping'an has already exchanged for the Thunderous Blade Technique, but this sword technique inheritance is not stored in the treasury of the Canglong Prefecture's Zhenfu Division.

Instead, it was in the Zhenfu Division of Beishan Prefecture.

Beishan Prefecture is a large prefecture. Because part of the Black Nether Mountain Range passes through the prefecture, the Beishan Prefecture Garrison Command is the strongest in the Bicang region, except for Bicang Prefecture.

The corresponding treasury of meritorious service is naturally extremely rich and abundant.

Beishan Prefecture is separated from Canglong Prefecture by two prefectures.

Chen Ping'an obviously wouldn't be able to wait for the cultivation method anytime soon.

For cross-state currency exchange like this, there are generally two options.

One option is to wait quietly, like Chen Ping'an did, and the Zhenfu Division will naturally provide a special escort. A detailed monitoring mechanism is in place to ensure the complete prevention of embezzlement.

Another option is to go to the treasure vault in person to claim it.

Canglong Prefecture is far from Beishan Prefecture. Chen Ping'an is focused on cultivation and would not waste his time on cultivation techniques.

After all, while the Thunderous Blade Technique is excellent, it is not a true martial arts manual.

Lao Bu made a special trip for him.

At this thought, Chen Ping'an remembered the young master Yun, whom he had met before.

To be precise, it should be Yunya.

Before parting, the other party made a remark, inviting him to visit his home if he had the time in the future. In addition, he mentioned that he had a treasured scroll on the art of swordsmanship, and that if Lord Chen came, he would certainly treat him to the scroll and invite him to take a look.

These words, spoken with a smile, seem genuine and not feigned.

Although the specific conditions and reasons are unknown, these words alone can be considered an opportunity.

perhaps
If I have the time in the future, I can certainly make a trip to Beihai.

In the blink of an eye, a scene appeared in Chen Ping'an's mind.

"Yunya is looking forward to your gift, sir."

A beautiful woman stood in the woods, with red lips and white teeth, a charming smile, and clear eyes like stars and the moon.

"It's really troublesome."

Chen Pingan smiled and shook his head.

It seems that obtaining this treasure scroll of swordsmanship won't be so easy.

Just as Chen Ping'an was making great strides and preparing to perfect the second stage of the Azure Sun Blood Refining Technique, a message from the Northern Territory Garrison interrupted his plans.

On the same day, Zhang Tianyuan, the powerful deputy head of the Canglong Prefecture Garrison, invited Chen Ping'an for a chat.

After several days, Chen Ping'an's appointment was finalized.
