Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 258 - 164: Lifespan Greatly Increased! Refined Skill in Demon Saber!
If it were an outsider, he wouldn’t pass down such a powerful Saber Technique to them.
Therefore, he decided to destroy this cave.
However, he was quite interested in the water of the Muddy World Demon Pool.
He didn’t know what exactly the pool water contained that could enhance a cultivator’s Demon Nature and also promote the operation of the Blood Movement Technique.
He thought, in the Central Plains, there are many talented and extraordinary people.
He could collect some pool water and then consult with an alchemy master.
To see if the alchemy master could make a potion from this pool water to enhance his power.
Because the person who looked like a monster was actually Li Xuanji’s master and was acquainted with Elder Qingxuan.
He also didn’t know if Elder Qingxuan, upon seeing the water from the Muddy World Demon Pool, would associate it with anything else.
Currently, Elder Qingxuan was still diligently making potions for him, so he naturally didn’t want to have a falling out with Elder Qingxuan.
So, he decided not to show Elder Qingxuan the water from the Muddy World Demon Pool.
By now, the pool water had returned to calm, no longer powered by his circulation of energy.
Su Que stood up from his cross-legged position, pushed hard with both feet, and shot up like an arrow from the depths of the Muddy World Demon Pool.
Splash! Amid the spraying water, he burst out of the water!
His whole being, like a swallow, lightly landed on the edge of the pool.
The soaked martial attire clung to his skin, revealing his sturdy physique and muscular lines full of strength.
He immediately ran the Red Fiend Technique, letting the Red Fiend True Qi flow throughout his body.
Wisps of steam began to rise around him.
The moisture in his hair and on his clothes evaporated rapidly.
Before long, his once soaking long hair separated into strands and became airy again.
The clothes that clung to his body were now completely dry, slightly away from the skin, making him feel dry and comfortable.
He glanced at the pool water.
He intended to collect the pool water, but he had no bottle on him.
’Got it.’
An idea popped into his mind, and he immediately squatted down, using his hand to grab the ground.
Having received Li Xuanji’s master’s blood, his physical body had become more resilient, and his strength had increased.
Without using True Qi, merely relying on his physical strength, he was able to embed his fingers into the hard ground.
With another exertion, he lifted a piece of stone.
This piece of stone was roughly the size of a bottle.
Then, holding the stone in his right hand, he used the index finger of his left hand to dig into the stone.
After a few digs, he carved out a hollow space in the stone like a bottle.
Although this hollow was uneven, it was not as aesthetic as a bottle.
Then, he pinched a small stone with his left hand.
This small stone was slightly larger than the hollow, and he planned to make it into a stopper.
He rotated the small stone with his left hand, rubbing it with his fingertips, causing stone powder to fall.
Soon, the small stone became wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
He then inserted the stopper-like small stone into the hollow at the top of the stone, fitting it tightly.
He pulled out the stopper and proceeded to collect the water from the Muddy World Demon Pool with his makeshift bottle.
After collecting the pool water, he held the crude stone bottle with his left hand, while his right hand formed a saber with his fingers, slashing at the "Demon" character on the ground one cut after another.
The Sword Gang shot towards the ground, causing mud and stones to splatter.
After several sword gangs struck, the ground with the "Demon" character was covered with deep saber marks.
The "Demon" character was no longer visible.
Then, Su Que jumped down from the stone platform that held the Muddy World Demon Pool.
Standing firm, his right hand sabered continuously, sending Sword Gangs towards the stone platform.
Immediately, the stone platform shattered, the water from the Muddy World Demon Pool flooded through the gaps, pouring throughout the cave.
Su Que continued to emit Sword Gangs until the entire stone platform was completely shattered.
The crimson water from the Muddy World Demon Pool spread across the cave, eventually forming a thin water film on the cave floor.
Su Que slashed with his right hand at both sides of the cave.
Sword Gangs shot from his hand, slicing towards the stone walls on either side.
With two loud booms, mud and stones scattered, and Sword Gangs on both sides of the stone walls cut out a big hole.
Instantly, the howling mountain wind rushed in from one side of the cave and blew out from the other side.
The thin water film formed by the Muddy World Demon Pool water on the ground was quickly dried by the mountain wind.
Su Que proceeded to erase traces he and Fan Gushan had left in the cave.
Finally, after checking and confirming there were no traces left, he left the cave.
...
When Su Que left the mountains, night had already fallen.
After returning to the inn, he took an empty bottle that originally held Elixir from his baggage.
And he poured the Muddy World Demon Pool water from the crude bottle into this empty bottle.
Then he went to Fan Gushan’s room and took Fan Gushan’s baggage.
Opening it, he only saw clothes, silver notes, and Golden Leaf, not the Secret Manual or other items he had imagined.
He picked up both of their baggages, requested the shopkeeper to refund their room payments.
Then he went to the inn’s stable and untied all six horses.
Riding one horse, holding the reins of the other five, he led the remaining horses out of the small town.
If it had been before when he was in Jade Water City, these six horses would have undoubtedly been roasted and eaten by him.
But now he had enough Silver Coins and no longer needed to cook for himself, so these six horses escaped a disaster.
He intended to release the six horses initially, but then thought of the saying, "Old horses know the way," fearing these six horses might find their way back to Jiannan Prefecture City.
Because upon his return to Jiannan Prefecture City, he would tell Li Xuanji and others that after separating from him, Li Xuanji’s master went elsewhere.
If one of the six horses returned to Jiannan Prefecture City without Li Xuanji’s master, it would surely arouse suspicion.
So, Su Que mounted one horse, leading the other five, and went to a larger city to sell them.
After which, he darted back to Jiannan Prefecture City.
...
Late that night, Su Que returned to Jiannan Prefecture City.
He first placed his baggage in the cave where he stored items and changed into a scholar’s robe.
Then he returned home and quietly went to Su Jing’s door, channeling Myriad Poison True Qi into Su Jing’s room, causing her to temporarily lose consciousness.
He entered, withdrew the Myriad Poison True Qi from Su Jing’s body, and checked her meridians and acupoints.
Finding nothing wrong with Su Jing’s body, he immediately closed the door and left.
...
The next day, after breakfast, Su Que headed to the cave where he stored items.
Before practicing, one must consume Elixirs to increase the speed of cultivation.
He tipped the bottle, the Elixirs like sugar beans falling into his mouth.
As the Elixirs melted in his mouth, transforming into medicinal liquid, flowing down his throat, entering his stomach, a surge of heat erupted.
’Hmm?’
Su Que sensed something unusual.
Having received Li Xuanji’s master’s blood, his body had transformed greatly.
At this moment, he realized that his body’s ability to absorb Elixirs had significantly improved.
While excited about this change, he also became more curious about what Li Xuanji’s master had experienced for his blood to transform like that.
After all, it might provide him with a new path to enhance his physical body and increase his lifespan.
Knowing that his ability to absorb Elixirs had improved, he immediately poured more Elixirs into his mouth.
After two more days, all the Elixirs were consumed.
He found his enhanced ability to absorb Elixirs could refine a large amount of them daily.
However, consuming too many of these Elixirs would gradually increase resistance, and their efficacy would weaken.
Hence, Elder Qingxuan should be tasked with producing a large amount of new Elixirs for him.
But to make new Elixirs, medicinal ingredients have to be transported from various parts of the Central Plains.
The Heaven-Breaking Army currently couldn’t deploy enough forces to confront the robbery of elixirs on the transportation route.
’Then I’ll make a trip, joining the team, and eliminate any forces robbing elixirs, thereby opening a dedicated route for transporting my elixirs!’
Now practicing the Demon Saber, he needed to find people to practice his Saber Technique.
Moreover, killing some notorious bandits would also stir the Demon Nature within him.
Thinking of this, he headed first to the Purple Sun Temple.
After obtaining a bag full of Elixirs from Elder Qingxuan, he dashed to the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion, intending to have them assign a team to go with him to the Central Plains to transport elixirs.
