Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 347 - 208: Twenty-four Gods of the Divine Realm! The First in Martial Arts! (2)
He originally intended to kill Liu Zhanhuo.
He only extended this person’s life for a few hours to interrogate him.
Now that this person is of no value to him, naturally, he will kill him with a punch.
Su Que activated the inner power heart method of the Nine Yin Corpse Claw, absorbing Liu Zhanhuo’s Death Qi.
Once Liu Zhanhuo’s Death Qi was completely absorbed and he had become a dry corpse, Su Que secured Liu Zhanhuo’s saber and the visualization diagram beside him.
Then, he unleashed Myriad Poison True Qi, enveloping Liu Zhanhuo.
In just a moment, Liu Zhanhuo’s corpse was corroded completely by the Myriad Poison True Qi.
Afterwards, Su Que discarded Liu Zhanhuo’s saber to the other side of the cave.
To prevent waking up the Daoist from True Profound Sect, who upon seeing Liu Zhanhuo’s saber would realize he killed Liu Zhanhuo and out of fear, refuse to answer properly.
Su Que stacked and tucked the twenty-four visualization diagrams into his garment.
Then, he injected a stream of True Qi into the Daoist from True Profound Sect, who was still leaning against the mountain wall, unconscious, to awaken him.
"Ah!"
The Daoist from True Profound Sect, skilled in alchemy, upon awakening saw Su Que’s Rakshasa Mask, and his whole body immediately jolted.
The three strands of beard on his face shook with his trembling body.
"Don’t move. If you don’t want to die, answer my question." Su Que said coldly.
That Daoist immediately nodded.
"Write down all the Elixir Recipes you know." Su Que said, pointing to the paper and pen on the ground.
"Our True Profound Sect has strict rules; Elixir Recipes cannot be passed on outside the sect..."
The Daoist’s eyes were filled with terror as he looked at Su Que, speaking in a voice as faint as a mosquito.
"If you don’t write, you’ll die. If you do, I promise not to spread your Elixir Recipes." Su Que said.
"You must keep your word..." The Daoist, under the threat of life and death, had no choice but to bow his head and pick up the pen, writing down all the Elixir Recipes he knew.
Su Que was surprised by the number of Elixir Recipes the Daoist knew.
In just the time of burning one incense stick, the Daoist had written down over twenty Elixir Recipes.
After a while, when Su Que saw the Daoist had written the thirty-sixth Elixir Recipe, the Daoist stopped writing.
"Layman... this is all..." the Daoist said.
Su Que looked at the Elixir Recipes and asked, "Is the Elixir Recipe used by Emperor Jing of Liang in here?"
The Daoist replied, "I don’t know what Elixir Recipe Emperor Jing of Liang used forty years ago, but in these past forty years, he has only used these five Elixir Recipes."
Saying this, he pointed to the five Elixir Recipes. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Su Que picked up the five Elixir Recipes and took a look, seeing that the ingredients for the Elixirs included not only the flesh of the four Great Auspicious Beasts—Dragon, Phoenix, Qilin, and Black Tortoise—from the Imperial Palace but also some exotic metals he had never heard of.
’Alchemy, alchemy, maybe ordinary Martial Artists would blend in some pure gold, mercury and similar metals.’
’But Emperor Jing of Liang’s Elixir already included exotic metals.’
Su Que thought to himself.
Thinking this, he took all the Elixir Recipes, stacked them up, and tucked them into his garment.
Then he waved to the Daoist, saying, "You can go now."
Upon hearing this, the Daoist immediately dropped the brush and, with a burst of Lightweight Skill, dashed away.
Since the Daoist from True Profound Sect had not hindered him before, he felt no need to kill him and let him leave directly.
After all, he was wearing a mask, so the Daoist couldn’t recognize his face.
Moreover, other fleeing Daoists from True Profound Sect had also seen him with the mask, so one more wouldn’t make a difference.
Su Que went to the other side of the cave, picked up Liu Zhanhuo’s Fire Pattern Saber, and performed his Lightweight Skill to leave the cave.
He then headed south all the way.
He had previously agreed with Li Xuanji to bring him the Li Family’s Divine Realm cultivation method and to wait for him.
After hearing Liu Zhanhuo speak of the Divine Realm cultivation technique, Su Que eagerly anticipated the Li Family’s cultivation method, so he dashed back with all his might using his Lightweight Skill.
...
Su Que flew swiftly and returned to Jiannan Prefecture City in just over two hours.
Upon returning, he didn’t head to the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion but went to the Purple Sun Temple first, intending to show Elder Qingxuan the Elixir Recipes from True Profound Sect.
His figure moved like lightning as he dashed into the Purple Sun Temple and headed straight for Elder Qingxuan’s Pill Palace.
With his Lightweight Skill now extremely formidable, even the Daoists at the Qi Blood Realm guarding the Pill Palace could no longer see his silhouette.
He leaped and entered the Pill Palace, then with a swift move, dashed into the palace and arrived at Elder Qingxuan’s small pavilion.
Elder Qingxuan only felt a gust of wind, his grey hair and beard fluttering, the light smoke of brewed tea suddenly dispersing.
Soon, he saw a figure suddenly congeal before his eyes, initially startled, his body trembled.
Upon realizing it was Su Que, he relaxed, patted his chest, then stood up and cupped his hands towards Su Que: "Sir, what brings you here?"
Su Que immediately took out the thirty-six Elixir Recipes written by the True Profound Sect Daoist from his garment and handed them to Elder Qingxuan:
"Daoist, these Elixir Recipes are for your reference, see if you can use them to refine Elixirs."
Elder Qingxuan took the Elixir Recipes, touched his finger to his tongue, and then looked through them one by one.
As he looked, his eyes gleamed: "The quality of these Elixir Recipes is incredibly high, but I wonder where you obtained them?"
"These are all Elixir Recipes from the True Profound Sect." Su Que said.
"What?" Elder Qingxuan’s eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, his face full of shock.
The True Profound Sect is now the top Daoist sect in the world, their alchemical skills naturally extraordinary.
After his surprise, Elder Qingxuan looked at the Elixir Recipes with the delight of finding a treasure.
He looked through a few more and said: "Some of these Elixir Recipes involve using metals for alchemy, reportedly done by Daoists a thousand years ago and passed down till today."
"However, using metals in alchemy is a risky move."
"Not every Martial Artist can withstand the Elixir with metal as the ingredient."
"Many Martial Artists who consume Elixirs with metal, either age rapidly, their flesh dissolves, or their bones soften... all dying horribly!"
After saying this, he looked at Su Que: "Sir, do you plan to add metals in your Elixirs?"
Su Que nodded: "Add them."
He thought that since his physique was extremely formidable, if there were people in this world who could consume Elixirs with metal and survive, then he should be able to as well.
Elder Qingxuan continued looking through the Elixir Recipes and suddenly said:
"These few Elixir Recipes either use Auspicious Beast flesh or extremely rare exotic metals as the main ingredients for refining Elixirs."
"Are there people who still consume these Elixirs today?"
Su Que replied: "Yes, Emperor Jing of Liang."
"What?" Elder Qingxuan heard this, his legs trembled slightly, almost falling to the ground.
A storm of shock surged within him, wondering what this mysterious expert had done that he even obtained Emperor Jing’s Elixir Recipes.
Su Que suddenly thought of Liu Zhanhuo’s saber at his waist and immediately untied it, handing it to Elder Qingxuan:
"This saber was forged using exotic soldiers, see if you can use it for alchemy."
Emperor Jing of Liang’s ingredients were the pure flesh of Auspicious Beasts and exceedingly rare exotic metals.
He currently had none of these.
But he hoped Elder Qingxuan could use these Elixir Recipes as a reference and combine Qilin Essence, Cold Pool Snow Flood Dragon Essence, and exotic metals to refine new Elixirs.
Although he had always wanted to find a saber suitable for wielding the Demon Saber, Liu Zhanhuo’s Fire Pattern Saber, although being an exotic soldier too, was clearly not strong enough and unsuitable for his use.
So he gave the saber to Elder Qingxuan.
Elder Qingxuan immediately accepted Liu Zhanhuo’s Fire Pattern Saber.
His eyes turned deep as he gazed into the void as if pondering how to use these acquired materials to refine Elixirs.
Seeing Elder Qingxuan lost in thought, Su Que refrained from disturbing him further, flashed out of the pavilion.
He performed his Lightweight Skill, leaped from the pavilion, then dashed across the roof edges.
Like a gust of wind, he swept past several roof ridges, exited the Purple Sun Temple, and headed towards the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion.
Before long, he arrived at the Heaven-Breaking Army Mansion, at the study that Li Xuanji frequently occupied.
Li Xuanji suddenly saw a silhouette and naturally felt startled.
As the leader of the Southern Domain’s righteous army, he was quite afraid of assassination.
Upon realizing it was Su Que, he relaxed, cupped his hands and said:
"Sir, you’ve arrived. The Divine Realm cultivation method from our Li family, I’ve brought it here, please follow me."
Saying this, he proceeded towards the depths of the study.
