Ancient Strengthening Techniques
Chapter 69 - The Magical Xiantian Golden Pellet
Wenren Wu-Shuang could feel that/it was the intensity of Qing Shui's attacks getting faster and faster, while the strength behind them was getting stronger and stronger!
Seeing how easily Wenren Wu-Shuang dodged his attack, he couldn't help but feel gloomy after spending so much time refining his sword technique. After all, what was the point if he could not even perform a single attack.
What Qing Shui didn't know was that, Wenren Wu-Shuang was actually the one who felt the pressure. The shock in his heart was indescribable. He could already tell the difference between them when Qing Shui started his attack. Only by using his Xiantian level technique, the Moondance Steps, did he manage to dodge his attacks. If not for that, Wenren Wu-Shuang could have said that/that he would not even be able to last three steps against Qing Shui.
” So this is the gap between Ancestor and Truth. ” Wenren Wu-Shuang's sword technique, although he has not broken through to the realm of Truth, is already at the Great Perfection Stage of the Ancestral Realm. Nature can be further divided into four stages: Early Stage, Middle Stage, Peak Stage and Great Stage of Completion!
Although the distance between the Great Perfection Stage of the Ancestral Realm, and the Realm of Truth was only the width of a hair, its width could also be comparable to the distance between Heaven and Earth. It was the same thing when a peak Houtian expert, no matter how powerful he was, was in front of someone who had just stepped into the Xiantian realm. A peak Houtian expert was equivalent to trash, and would not be able to survive a single attack.
Wenren Wu-Shuang's Peaceful Steps had reached the Great Perfection Stage of the Ancestral Realm! Despite this, he could only dodge the sword attacks of the [[Basic Sword Technique]] of the Truth Realm. This clearly shows the difference in power levels between the two realms.
Qing Shui had no idea that/it Wenren Wu-Shuang would come out when fighting against him. He even used one of the more valuable types of Xiantian techniques – Body Movement Techniques.
’’ Stop! ’’ Looking at Qing Shui's sword attack, it seems that it is similar to the ocean waves. Each attack was stronger than the last, and without any signs of a broken rhythm, the attacks were linked together as one. In addition, she learned that/it Qing Shui was able to unleash his attacks from all angles, and was mysterious and cunning when he chose his attack path. Were it not for the Moondance Steps technique that helped him in evasion, he would have long since disappeared.
It was a pity that he could not use Xiantian Qi. If he was at the Xiantian level, his attack speed and strength, beside Xiantian Qi, would really be able to unleash the true power of the Truth Realm.
Qing Shui stopped his attack, as he looked towards the slightly out of breath, Wenren Wu-Shuang. Sweat lines could be seen on his forehead, as his cheeks were reddened with redness. Qing Shui felt that/it was Wenren Wu-Shuang at the moment, more like a mortal woman, instead of an unreachable celestial being before.
Wenren Wu-Shuang speechlessly looked towards Qing Shui, as depression enveloped his heart. Although her face was slightly red, she did not breathe at all! An hour of heavy exertion was actually nothing to Qing Shui? What he did not know was that/it was the Ancient Strengthening Technique that Qing Shui cultivates within, putting great emphasis on tempering the body. If he knew, he wouldn't find it strange. In a state of not using Xiantian Qi, Wenren Wu-Shuang could actually endure for a long time, and this was not so simple at all. However, if he used Xiantian Qi to aid in his attack, then without a doubt, whether it was in speed or strength, he would overpower Qing Shui arrogantly.
Even though she was depressed, a shine could still be seen shining in her eyes as she looked at Qing Shui. He had decided to make Qing Shui his match partner in the future. As long as he suppressed his level of strength to match Qing Shui, it would definitely help him greatly in his understanding of sword techniques. To penetrate the realm of Truth, this must depend on the level of insight and karmic luck.
’Can I ask you one question?’ ‘Qing Shui looked towards Wenren Wu-Shuang, after he walked out of the training room.
” Of course you can, stop being so official, we are already friends now. ” Wenren Wu-Shuang smiles happily, a smile as warm as the spring breeze.
’’Do you know how many methods one must go through to Xiantian? Also, how did it feel when you first broke through? ” Qing Shui, finally met the Xiantian lifeform, so there was no way he would be embarrassed asking questions. After all, even if one were to look for a Xiantian cultivator, and even if one were to search until the ox came home, it was no guarantee that/that they would be able to find it. Now, not only was the Xiantian Cultivator in front of him, that/it Xiantian Cultivator was also a girl who was the same*si, how could he let go of this opportunity?
Wenren Wu-Shuang winked her beautiful eyes, as she meticulously examined Qing Shui.
’’Are you at the peak Martial Commander Realm?’ ’
Qing Shui smiled bitterly while shaking his head, ” I'm not sure, on the surface I'm only at the 3rd Class Martial Warrior Realm. However, even if I were to fight a peak Houtian expert, I don't think I would have any problems fighting them. ’
This was the first time Qing Shui saw such a laughing expression on Wu-Shuang's face. Words were not enough to describe him and thus, he could only stare at him, agape. Time, for a moment it seemed to stop as her laughing expression, similar to the color of a blooming rainbow, completely filled Qing Shui's mind.
” From what I know, there are only two surefire methods to break through to the Xiantian Realm. First method, one should be able to find ‘’moment it’ of destiny, break through enlightenment. The second method, is to consume ‘’Xiantian Golden Pellet’ made by Alchemists. As long as someone who was at the peak of the Houtian, swallowed a pellet, they would definitely be able to enter the Xiantian Realm.
” Xiantian Golden Pellet? ” Confusion shone in her eyes as Qing Shui looked at Wenren Wu-Shuang, he had never heard of such a miracle cure, yet, that could allow one to enter into the door of the Xiantian Realm which had restricted many others.
Seeing how shocked Qing Shui was, Wenren Wu-Shuang laughed lightly, he could easily guess what Qing Shui was thinking. ’Xiantian Golden Pellet is indeed a magic medicine. However, do you know the ingredients needed to concoct it? ’
Qing Shui had hope in his heart. After all, for such a magic pellet, the materials needed should not be too common, right?
” The first material, the most important, is the core of the demonic beast! ’’
F! Beast monsters, and only ferocious beasts that had lived for at least 500 years would have a core shape within their bodies. A Xiantian level beast would be much stronger than a Xiantian level human cultivator. A Xiantian Cultivator might not even be able to defeat a Xiantian Beast even if it was two to one. Of course there were exceptions, but most of the time, Xiantian level beasts would be much stronger than Xiantian Human Cultivators.
” In addition to the demon core, in order to concoct a golden pellet, alchemists will also need other extremely rare materials such as, immortal wolf flowers, deer antlers, ginseng, lingzhi …. And all of those ingredients should be at least above 1,000 years old. As for materials like deer antlers, animals should at least be at the level of demonic beasts. ’
Qing Shui fell silent, he was no longer excited after hearing the ingredients. The difficulty of gathering all the listed ingredients, was as difficult as obtaining a demon core.
’’ Xiantian Golden Pellet sounds good. ’’ Qing Shui declared with a mixture of helplessness and hatred after half a day.
Wenren Wu-Shuang could not help but laugh as she looked at the puzzled expression on Qing Shui's face.
” Oh, there's one more thing I forgot to mention. Those who relied on the Xiantian Golden Pellet to reach the Xiantian realm would be much weaker than those who broke through on their own. After all, they did not get the crucial moment of enlightenment when they broke through. ’
Wenren Wu-Shuang's words almost caused Qing Shui to cry.
’What happened, obtaining the Xiantian Golden Pellet was already extremely difficult, and in the end, you are still destined to be weaker than other Xiantian cultivators. This is so unfair! ” Qing Shui rampage.
” No blurring allowed. ” Wenren Wu-Shuang stretched out her hand and lightly tapped Qing Shui's head.
At that moment, Qing Shui was standing there blankly as the light rap by those jade white hands seemed to cause him to enter a mysterious state of mind, a state of mind that he did not feel for a long time.
