Engagement Canceled: I Can Extract Prefixes-Chapter 318 - 317: Half-Step Realm of the Fifth Grade, Stepping In
The Land of the Far South, indeed, has some mysteries...
Although I’m still far from that tree, my body already reacts.
The speed at which "Unceasing Skill" repairs the body is noticeably faster.
And while the body recovers to resist the toxicity, the intense pain persists around me.
The tree ahead is an orange trait, [plant with poison penetrating the marrow].
I haven’t even touched it yet, but just standing far away shows significant effects.
Concentration focused, time is pressing.
Staring intently at that orange trait for about half a moment.
The orange trait finally loosens.
Extract!
After extracting the [poison penetrating the marrow] trait, the surrounding space seems to become a bit fresher.
Looking at the orange trait falling into the consciousness sea.
If this is imbued onto a weapon, then the weapon might become a blade capable of slaying an Immortal Realm expert!
Coming out this time, I indeed gained something.
But right now, I need to find the Cloud Rong Grass more quickly.
Continue to delve deeper.
This was the only plant with an orange trait that I encountered.
Not until near nightfall did Shen Han find a place seemingly suitable for the growth of Cloud Rong Grass.
This place is a collapsed pit.
The bottom of the pit accumulates quite a bit of water, and the edges of this pit are an excellent area.
Very suitable for Cloud Rong Grass growth.
After some searching, indeed, several stalks of Cloud Rong Grass were found.
Placed them into the box obtained from Patriarch Yun.
Having harvested the Cloud Rong Grass, Shen Han no longer lingers.
His speed underfoot reached its peak, utilizing the Lonely Wind Snow-Treading Step, unleashing all body techniques.
At this moment, Shen Han could feel it.
His entire body was drenched in sweat.
"Unceasing Skill" has been pushed to its utmost to resist the invasion of poison.
It’s very likely that during the extraction of that orange trait, my body was already tainted by the toxin.
The stabbing pain in the body grows ever more intense, but the greater the pain, the more Shen Han feels slightly at ease.
This at least indicates that my body is still resisting the poison.
There’s no room for hesitation, I must escape from this Land of the Far South before night falls.
All the way back along the path that led me here, Shen Han chose not to travel any other paths to avoid encountering more troublesome matters.
On the return journey, seeing those plants from which he extracted the traits.
Without the protection of venom, they have completely lost their competitive edge.
Several plants show signs of decay, a scene of withered vitality.
Shen Han shook his head, forcing himself to stay alert, the sky is about to darken completely.
He absolutely must not fall asleep in this Land of the Far South.
Forcing himself against the dizziness and vertigo, with veins bulging out, he dashed out as fast as he could.
The Land of the Far South, no wonder it’s a forbidden area people strictly avoid.
This journey, not sure how long or how far he walked.
Seems like he has broken out of the Land of the Far South.
Consciousness blurred, the discomfort caused by the body recovery from the "Unceasing Skill" assaults his consciousness madly.
Ultimately, he couldn’t withstand it and collapsed in the wilderness.
When he woke up, his clothes, soaked with sweat, had already been dried by the sun.
The once soft clothing has surprisingly become somewhat stiff.
Looking at the sunlight in the sky, a feeling of relief washes over him.
The Land of the Far South is indeed a place not just anyone can visit.
If it weren’t for the mysterious ability to observe traits, I wouldn’t have managed to walk out of there.
That [poison penetrating the marrow] orange trait probably is the bane of even Immortal Realm experts.
After all, experts in cultivation increase their resistance to poison as their strength grows.
Moreover, many strong figures have some sort of protective method.
Even those toxins can’t break through the barrier of Immortal Realm experts.
But the poison indicated by this orange trait is something mere barriers probably cannot guard against.
Clearing his mind, Shen Han took out some food and a clean garment from his storage ring.
After a fresh change, he certainly felt much more refreshed.
After tidying up, Shen Han prepared to head toward Anyang City.
But upon stepping forward, he could feel the difference in his own strength.
It seems that every move is slightly more powerful.
Stopping his steps, Shen Han drew out his long sword.
Focusing his energy, he unleashed his strongest sword qi.
A long howl echoed, and all the masses of plants in front of him were cut down neatly together.
Stretching over a hundred feet and more...
Seeing this scene, Shen Han couldn’t help but show some joy.
Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm...
I’ve actually managed to step into this Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm in one go.
A trace of joy couldn’t help but appear on Shen Han’s face.
My speed of progression in the Fifth Grade Realm is much quicker compared to the Sixth Grade Realm.
Actually, this is foreseeable as well.
Stepping from the Sixth Grade into the Fifth Grade requires comprehending one’s intent and stepping onto one’s path of cultivation.
The methods involved in it, some may not see even a smidge of success in a lifetime.
And after stepping into the Fifth Grade, it’s preparation for body refining.
When the body refining strength is enough to step into the Immortal Realm, the promotion becomes natural and smoothly transitions into it.
Especially my foundation in body refining with "Mountain and River Body Refining Skill," providing deep benefits now.
The initial hardships will eventually yield rewards.
The Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm, after ascending this step, the gap between Shen Ye and me will further narrow. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Already I had the ability to ambush and take his life before.
Now, I should be able to face him in a complete battle.
With every step forward, Shen Han finds his mind steadier by a bit.
With the strength of the Fifth Grade Half-Step Realm, plus the inner armor Yuezhu gave me, and the personal array...
A series of defensive measures make my safety more assured.
Even against Luo Zuchen, I should be able to evade his assassination attempts.
Naturally, Shen Han won’t overestimate himself.
After all, the Immortal Realm is a giant leap.
Otherwise, why would it be termed after immortals?
Entering the Third Grade is a qualitative leap.
Even a dozen Fourth Grade peak cultivators are no match for an Immortal Realm expert.
Crossing into the Immortal Realm provides a vast upgrade unlike any other grade.
...
Capital City, Rain Listening Pavilion.
No year has passed as hard as this one...
The entire Su Family is incredibly desolate this year.
Not even a simple reunion dinner has been prepared.
Su Zhensheng did not return to Wuyang City, Su Hongyi and Su Hongrong stayed in the northern army.
The Su Family in Wuyang City is cold and quiet.
The elder general of the Su Family, who always loved lively gatherings, also stayed hidden in the mansion, without stepping out.
The reason for this situation is all due to Su Jinyu.
Previously, upon hearing she returned to the Capital City, Su Zhensheng even came to see his daughter.
He thought his daughter had become more obedient.
But upon hearing that Su Jinyu had been driven out of Moon Bamboo Peak,
he was utterly stunned.
Losing the name of a prodigy was not the issue, but being expelled by Shi Yuezhu...
