Chapter 46: Spirit Fire Blades
Before Senior Ye could say something more, the leaves started rustling in the trees.
Yun Shu realized that it was already close to midnight, and a new round of killing wind was about to start.
“Go back, boy,” Ye said.
Yun Shu hurriedly shook his head. “Senior, I still have so much to learn from you!”
However, Senior Ye said to Yun Shu, “You have mastered the essence of the Nine Yin-Yang Refining Scripture. You’ve already reached the sixth level, and it is only a matter of time for you to fully grasp it! I have nothing more to teach you in this respect!”
He paused a second and then continued, “As for the pills that you mentioned earlier for growing your father’s broken arm, honestly speaking, I don’t know of any that can do it. But don’t give up. There are myriad of pills in the world, and I can’t know them all. Perhaps you’ll be able to find what you seek somewhere else.”
When Yun Shu heard the answer, he was quite disappointed.
Senior Ye was a master alchemist, and even if he was not aware of the existence of such a formula, the hope would be rather slim.
But like Senior Ye just said, Yun Shu must keep striving to find a cure. After all, life was full of miracles, and there were all kinds of pills in the world!
Thinking in this way, Yun Shu slightly comforted himself.
Senior Ye looked at Yun Shu and sighed.
If he had met him a few decades earlier, he would have trained the boy himself with all his heart and soul. With the boy’s talent and his power, he would have pushed Yun Shu to an unprecedented height. Then…
Feeling helpless, Senior Ye sighed again.
“It’s time for you to leave now. If you stay here too long, people will know. And neither of us wants the trouble,” Ye said.
Yun Shu had no other choice but to stand up and bow to Senior Ye solemnly. “Thank you very much, Senior Ye. I will keep the things you told me in my mind. If possible, in the future, I will try to get you out of this place!”
Senior Ye just listened and smiled at him. Closing his eyes, he didn’t say anything.
Yun Shu turned around and walked away, heading for the south of the valley.
After a while, Ye opened his eyes. He looked in the direction of the Forest of Deadly Wind, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
On the other side, a while after Yun Shu left the Nine-dragon Pillar, he went back to the Stone Gate World.
After spending so much energy and his Spirit Qi on making the pills, Yun Shu was too tired to face the wind. Besides, he had something more important to do.
Sitting on the stairway, he immediately took out one of the Supreme pills he had just refined. The alchemical halo was absolutely gorgeous, mesmerizing the onlookers.
Wanting to see the difference between a Fine-grade pill and a Supreme one, he put the pill into his mouth. Instantly, a pure and powerful flow of Spirit Qi rushed into his body.
“Wow!” Yun Shu gasped in wonder. Yet, an even bigger surprise was waiting for him.
After that pure Spirit Qi took a tour in Yun Shu’s body, he suddenly had that familiar feeling coming back. However, he didn’t instantly realize what it was. But at this moment, a beam of light burst out abruptly.
He had just made another breakthrough!
Now he had reached the second level of Aqua Sky Realm!
He had been stuck in the first level of Aqua Sky Realm for a while, and thus, the breakthrough came as a surprise to him. Yun Shu’s eyes glowed in excitement and glee. He would definitely make more Supreme-grade pills!
At this time, he was not only thinking about himself but also Su Lingwen, who was sitting in front of the steles, and his men in the caves.
Yun Shu tried to picture the image in his mind that one day, even his men would become respected cultivators. And he would be their leader. How awe-inspiring would that be!
But it was just too early to think about that.
After feeding the little chick, Yun Shu took out the Book of Three Thousand Fiends from his cosmic bag.
His realm had been greatly improved, and his sword intent had also grown a lot. On top of that, he was merely inches away from having excellent mastery of Fiend Eagle Claw and Thunder Move.
It was time to learn something new!
Bang! Bang!
Yun Shu punched the book, and instantly, two new pages were shown to him.
As it was for every cultivator, Yun Shu was exhilarated upon seeing his new martial art skills. One was called Spirit Fire Blades and the other Fire Scale Shield. Both of them were rank eight Ordinary Level skills.
These two skills were exactly what Yun Shu wanted!
Spirit Fire Blades was a fire-type martial art skill. It enabled the user to turn their Spirit Qi into a few fire blades. They could either be held in the user’s hands or be thrown at enemies in the distance.
Fire Scale Shield was a shield also made of Spirit Qi, mainly used for defense.
If Yun Shu could master the two martial skills properly, no one within the same realm would be able to defeat him!
In addition, Yun Shu specialized in practicing fire-type cultivation techniques, and he had awakened his Life Flame to boot. It would definitely bring the power of the two martial art skills to an even higher level!
With a big smile plastered on his face, Yun Shu decided to practice Spirit Fire Blades first. As a rank eight martial art skill, he believed that learning it could be a bit challenging. However, despite all odds, the process turned out to be very smooth.
In less than half an hour, his first fire blade had come into shape.
This made Yun Shu feel more confident about practicing fire-type cultivation techniques.
Holding the blade of fire, Yun Shu could feel its power from his hands.
The fire blade was even sharper and more powerful than the killing wind!
However, at this time, the little chick on the ground suddenly jumped up and leaped at the blade.
“Don’t!” Yun Shu exclaimed at its abrupt action.
The fire blade was beyond sharp. Yun Shu thought that the little chick was going to get hurt without doubt, but it was too late for him to stop the little thing.
But the next moment, Yun Shu was totally stunned.
Crack!
Like chewing a cucumber, the little chick snapped the blade with its beak and devoured the pieces into its stomach. Then it turned to look at Yun Shu.
Obviously, it was begging for more.
Yun Shu was struck dumb for a while before he could finally come back to his senses.
It seemed that the little chick was immune to all fire-type attacks! Yun Shu was deeply impressed.
