Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 267 - 169: Life and Death Talisman! Six Forms of Celestial Deformed Foot!
After Su Que gave his orders, the martial artists left one by one. He then went to bed and sat cross-legged, starting to cultivate the Marriage Robe Divine Skill.
Soon, wisps of white steam rose from his Baihui Acupoint and spine, drifting up towards the top of the tent.
The thunderous and fiery True Qi of the Marriage Robe Divine Skill crackled as it coursed through his meridians.
Marriage Robe Divine Skill (Peak of the 8th Realm 46%)
Inner strength generated True Qi, and the True Qi condensed into Gang Qi.
The higher the attainment in inner strength, the faster the progress in the Realm of Gang Condensation.
Moreover, because he reached sixty percent in the Marriage Robe Divine Skill without dispersing skill and starting over,
Unlike other martial artists, as the realm of the Marriage Robe Divine Skill increased, the damage it did to the body became more severe.
But he could reverse the side effects of the cultivation technique, and the True Qi of the Marriage Robe Divine Skill not only did not harm his body, but it also nourished his meridians and flesh.
Every time he circulated the True Qi of the Marriage Robe Divine Skill, it felt as if a hot spring flowed through his meridians and flesh, providing extreme comfort.
Introspecting himself, he could see his meridians and flesh becoming increasingly resilient.
"Knock knock, sir."
After Su Que had cultivated for about an hour, he heard a gentle knock on the door and a voice speaking.
He recognized the voice as belonging to one of the Heaven-Breaking Army martial artists.
Su Que then got off the bed, waved his hand, and a stream of True Qi flew out, unlatching the door.
"Come in," Su Que said indifferently.
The martial artist pushed the door open and entered.
After respectfully saluting Su Que, he closed the door again.
"Sir, I’ve found some information," the martial artist said.
Su Que did not expect these martial artists to find information so quickly, and he was slightly pleased in his heart.
"Let’s hear it," Su Que said, still in an emotionless tone.
The martial artist said, "I found out that the army guarding our current location, Chuyun Prefecture, is called the ’Chuyun Army.’"
"The commander of the Chuyun Army, Wu Xingkong, knows a martial arts technique called the ’Life and Death Talisman.’"
"It’s said that those marked with the ’Life and Death Talisman’ will suffer in a certain period, unable to seek life or death."
"You must find Wu Xingkong to resolve it and alleviate the pain."
"Wu Xingkong uses this ’Life and Death Talisman’ to control the various sects and gangs in the prefecture."
Upon hearing this, the gaze under Su Que’s mask brightened slightly.
He hadn’t expected that the "Life and Death Talisman" from his previous life would also be created by martial artists in this world.
"What is Wu Xingkong’s strength?" Su Que asked.
The martial artist said, "According to martial artists, Wu Xingkong is a Gang Condensation Realm martial artist and can condense over five zhang of Gang Qi."
Upon hearing this, Su Que thought that with over five zhang of Gang Qi, he was confident he could defeat him.
Moreover, as this person’s martial arts realm is higher than his, likely it won’t be resolved in one or two moves.
He could use this person to cultivate the Demon Saber and generate Demonic Qi.
"Where is Wu Xingkong?" Su Que thought of this and asked.
"He should be in the military camp outside the Chuyun Prefecture City," the martial artist replied.
"The Prefecture City is northeast of here, and our convoy will take a day to reach it."
"We’ll set out tomorrow," Su Que said.
After the martial artist left, Su Que drank a cup of tea and also left the room.
Then he swiftly flew to a woods outside the city to practice the Demon Saber.
...
The next day, the morning sun rose in the east.
The sunlight shone on the corpses in Chaofeng Manor.
Two people wearing the same style of blue clothing walked into Chaofeng Manor.
These two were members of the Ou Family’s branch, and they came here to deliver news about purchasing medicine to Gu Jingyan, the Manor Master of Chaofeng Manor.
As soon as they entered the manor, what met their eyes were corpses lying disorderly.
Both had shocked expressions on their faces.
Before they arrived at the mountain, they saw that the sentries had been killed, and they wondered if something had happened to the manor.
Seeing these corpses now, they realized something truly had happened.
The two walked quickly into the manor, stepping over dried blood pools, and finally found Gu Jingyan’s corpse.
Even though Gu Jingyan’s flesh had dried up after death,
based on his facial features and the clothes on the corpse, they could determine that this was indeed Gu Jingyan.
"Who did this?" one of the Ou Family branch members asked.
The other immediately replied, "We saw Gu Jingyan just yesterday afternoon; he should have died last night."
"For someone to kill Gu Jingyan, their martial arts realm must be high. Quickly send a message to the prefecture."
"The second young master in the prefecture is a skilled tracker; they can’t have gotten far with all those medicinal materials."
The other nodded in agreement.
Then, the two employed their lightweight skills and swiftly left the manor.
...
Su Que’s convoy was heading south, returning to Jiannan Prefecture.
At this moment, they were heading northeast.
Su Que could have gone by himself,
but he thought if he strayed too far from the convoy, and it was attacked after he left, it would be difficult to catch the attackers if he returned late.
So he decided to bring the convoy along.
The convoy moved along the road, and Su Que, in the carriage, attempted to condense a greater range of Gang Qi.
By evening, they stopped at a city adjacent to Chuyun Prefecture City.
Under the arrangement of Xiao Chen, a Heaven-breaking Army martial artist, the inn’s staff brought large portions of food to Su Que’s room in batches.
Once the fragrant dishes filled the wooden table, the staff left the room and closed the door.
Su Que took a sip of tea, rinsed his mouth, then picked up his chopsticks to eat the delicious dishes.
Practicing martial arts daily made him have a great appetite.
He continued to eat, and the dishes that were once piled high on the plates gradually reduced.
After eating about half, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.
