Chapter 140: Incense Burner, Expedition to Ming State
Refining Internal...
How could Refining Internal kill someone in the Meridian Passage stage!
Yin Hanwen's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
It was unbelievable.
All along, Chen Sansi hadn't moved at all — he simply, just gently tapped with his finger!
And then, Elder Wei was dead!
How did he do it?
Immortal Law!
Immortal Law!!!
Yin Hanwen suddenly realized.
People always rumored that Sun Xiangzong possessed an Immortal Law.
It seems it was true!
And he had already passed it to Chen Sansi!
How could this be!
He had only started learning a few days ago?!
Yin Hanwen, having not even a hint of resistance left, wanted to flee in utter panic.
Chen Sansi drew the Zhenyue Sword and chased after him, running him through with the sword and ending the battle, or rather, massacre!
The spell his master passed down to him was indeed terrifying.
It shocked even him. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire
No wonder Miss Ning Xiang, who couldn't surpass the Refining Internal Realm, said she could easily kill someone in the Meridian Passage stage — it must have been by such means!
Cultivating immortality and practicing Martial Arts.
They simply couldn't compete!
And this was the lowest level of spell, which anyone with Spirit Energy and a Spirit Root could cultivate, even if they hadn't formally embarked on the path of immortality yet.
It's just not known if the Protective Gang Qi after entering the Profound Image Realm could withstand this attack.
"First, clean up the scene."
Chen Sansi pulled the arrows out of each corpse, then picked up the Vajra Pestle from the ground, covering the arrow wounds in their hearts.
The trauma caused by the Vajra Pestle was extensive; once struck, one could not tell what the original wound had been like.
He originally needed to dispose of the bodies one by one, but the Vajra Pestle made it much easier.
Only the storyteller coachman, who had too many arrow wounds, still had to be disposed of.
Wei Gong's wound in the middle of his forehead was also hacked to a mess.
After all was done, Chen Sansi picked up the long spear and quickly returned to the depths of the Luotian Mountain Range.
Soon enough, some passersby would discover the bodies, then leave them to the local Liangzhou military to handle.
Chen Sansi wasn't worried about it being connected back to him.
After all, many people did not know he had broken through to Refining Internal, and even if they did, killing someone at the Meridian Passage stage was like a fairy tale, nobody would guess it was him.
As for the spell...
Even fewer people would connect it to that.
Because it seemed that even his master didn't know this art, it had always been hidden and never revealed by Brother Fang.
"Squeezed dry!"
Chen Sansi felt the pristine cleanliness of his meridians within his body, as if he had spent all his long-accumulated money in one go, leaving an emptiness, with the remaining spirit sand being just enough for one more such expenditure.
Without the supply of Spiritual Energy from the world, truly, a "hero" finds no place to exercise his power.
The incense might somewhat substitute for Spiritual Energy, but it's not obtainable; to get the incense from those worshipping in the temples, he'd need that incense burner.
Returning to the cave...
Chen Sansi began to seclude himself for cultivation.
If what Mr. Hou said was true, they might be called to arms soon, so raising his cultivation by even a little was crucial, and he also needed to take enough Spiritual Rice Medicine Ointment and treasure medicine, in case there were none to use along the way – the distance between Liangzhou and Ming State was significant.
Military Art Heavenly Book...
It sounded far-fetched.
But Chen Sansi himself had just used a spell, making it seem not so unbelievable.
Unnoticed, another day passed.
When dawn broke, he did not continue practicing, but instead, he chopped plenty of firewood to produce more Spiritual Rice Medicine Ointment.
Beneath the fiery red flames, the Mystic Iron Furnace deformed.
Soon, a blackish unfamiliar substance appeared at the bottom of the pot.
Carefully, Chen Sansi collected it, also testing if he could roll it into spheres for easy consumption, but the consistency wasn't thick enough, so he reluctantly gave up and faithfully poured it into porcelain bottles.
After hastily packing up, he grabbed his bow and arrows and left the cave, stepping into the boundless woods.
Tonight, he was supposed to return home, but he needed to carry back two game animals.
An Exotic Beast would be ideal.
The Iron Core Bow that Ji had given him was still missing a string; he wanted to see if he could find a suitable Exotic Beast as material and also had been looking into imbuing arrows with power.
Although Chen Sansi's senses were still exceptional, with his Qi Observation Skill, finding prey no longer required the trouble it used to, as nearly no living creature within range could escape his eyes.
He had taken only a few steps when he encountered a Poisonous Beast emitting a black aura.
Evil Qi!
Miss Ning Xiang had mentioned that this dark black energy was termed Evil Qi.
These birds and beasts had become Poisonous Beasts under the influence of Evil Qi.
The Divine Sect, Evil Qi...
It was hard not to connect them together.
At the deepest part of the Luotian Mountain Range, there definitely had to be an Immortal Trace!
"With my current strength, how far can I go?"
An idea suddenly sparked in Chen Sansi's mind; hunting Poisonous Beasts was itself a form of cultivation that could improve his spear technique proficiency, perfectly manageable as a trial as long as he ensured his own safety.
Not to mention that he had the Qi Observation Skill; if he encountered any dangerous Poisonous Beasts, he could retreat immediately.
The people from the Seeking Immortal Tower said that High Realm Martial Artists had the chance to reach the deepest part.
Why wouldn't he want to see for himself what was inside?
Since he was going hunting anyway, he might as well continue forward, thinking thus, Chen Sansi ignored the prey in front of him and kept moving deeper.
If one were to segment the Luotian Mountain Range into layers, visually it would be about fourteen layers; his current location was approximately the fourth layer, while the initial outbreak of the Evil Qi occurred in the very last layer.
Mobilizing his Qi-Blood, his figure flitted ghost-like through the woods.
The deeper he went, the more Poisonous Beasts he encountered.
Wolves, tigers, leopards, rare animals, grotesque and varied.
