Chapter 127 Suppressing Prison Qi
Chu Xuan and Wen Wan had already attracted a lot of attention when they returned to the sect. Now that they were at the auction, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root was theirs.
"Alright, you can rest here for now. Just let the servants know if you need anything. I need to keep an eye on the auction—"
Liu Chengzhi gave a few instructions and then took his leave.
Soon, only Chu Xuan remained in the VIP room.
Chu Xuan then opened the Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Technique and carefully examined it.
After scanning it briefly, he understood the difference between the "Prison Suppressing Qi" that Liu Chengzhi mentioned and ordinary Qi!
When ordinary martial artists with internal strength face an enemy, they release their internal strength to form a protective aura, combining offense and defense.
The Suppressing Prison Qi is based on the protective Qi, but with the intention of suppression added. The Qi is no longer just a simple force, but a flowing, willful "invisible prison".
The core of the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Force is to use oneself as a "prison," forging one's physical body into a "living prison," using the vastness of the eight desolations as the physique, and the majesty of suppressing the prison as the fist intent.
Wherever the protective energy reaches, it becomes a forbidden zone!
Once the enemy enters the area, they are suppressed!
As Liu Chengzhi said, this technique is very slow to cultivate. It requires compressing, compressing, and compressing the internal energy again, making it more than ten times more refined than ordinary internal energy. Naturally, the burden on the physical body is also beyond imagination. If the physical foundation is insufficient, the internal energy will go berserk at best, and the meridians will be broken at worst!
Of course, its power far surpasses other techniques of the same level!
Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, more than an hour had gone by.
After he reviewed it several times, information finally appeared on the panel.
【Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Force (0/100000)】
"It requires 100,000 experience points?"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but gasp.
He was lucky to have the essence points to exchange for proficiency, otherwise he would have been worn down to death by this technique!
"Junior Brother Chu, haha, congratulations!"
At this moment, Liu Chengzhi walked in with a smile and reported the good news to Chu Xuan, "Your Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root was finally sold for 5900 contribution points!"
""
"So tall?"
Chu Xuan was also somewhat surprised.
Although the Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root can change one's physical constitution, it is not without limitations. This particular Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root of his is not very old and can only work on martial artists with a constitution below the sixth level.
According to his estimate, he would be lucky to sell 5000 contribution points!
"I was lucky this time, I found someone who needed it. Normally, I could only sell it for around 5000 contribution points."
Liu Chengzhi chuckled and said, "As for the person who bought the Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root, he's also an outer disciple of our Xuan Yang Sect, ranked seventy-ninth on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, Jin Shitai!"
Chu Xuan nodded.
He remembered this person.
"Junior Brother Chu, Wanbaolou will take a 5% cut from this auction. Do you want to exchange the remaining 5605 contribution points for resources, or do you want the contribution points directly?" Liu Chengzhi asked.
Chu Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "Does Senior Brother Liu have any suggestions?"
Liu Chengzhi smiled and said, "I suggest that Junior Brother Chu exchange some Nine-Turn True Essence Pills! This is a third-grade pill, which is generally used by martial artists of the Gang Jin realm for cultivation. Its effect is about five times that of the Spirit Gathering and Yuan Strengthening Pill, but its medicinal effect is very mild, so even martial artists of the Hua Jin realm can take it."
However, its price is too high; ordinary martial artists at the Transformation Realm simply cannot afford it! Even martial artists at the罡劲 Realm are reluctant to use it.
"How much?" Chu Xuan asked.
"One contribution point for every five hundred points!" Liu Chengzhi said.
"Exchange ten for me, and exchange the rest for Spirit Gathering and Qi Strengthening Pills," Chu Xuan said.
"Can!"
Although Liu Chengzhi was somewhat puzzled as to why Chu Xuan had exchanged so many pills, he didn't ask any further questions.
Half an hour later, Chu Xuan politely declined Liu Chengzhi's invitation to a banquet and headed straight for the outskirts of Lingxiao City.
Not long after leaving the city gate, he disappeared into a dense forest.
[Energy Value: 5000/5000]
【Two Elements Stance - Perfected (50000/50000)】
【Bajiquan - Perfection (50000/50000)】
"It's finally all done!"
-
In a dense forest ten miles outside Lingxiao City, Chu Xuan sat cross-legged on a boulder. With a thought, his blood and qi surged to their limit.
A deep, muffled sound exploded from within him.
His strength suddenly reversed, like ten thousand rivers flowing into the sea, all surging towards his dantian.
The energy that was originally scattered throughout the body was compressed and condensed wildly under the guidance of an invisible will, causing the muscles and bones beneath the skin to resonate and crackle continuously.
The air suddenly froze.
The next instant, a circle of pale golden energy emanated from him and spread out with a roar, causing the rubble to float in the air and the strong wind to scatter the earth from the rock walls.
A thin but solid layer of qi slowly emerged around Chu Xuan, like a bubble, yet carrying a pressure as heavy as a mountain abyss. With each breath, he drew the essence of heaven and earth into his body.
Gather strength to form a powerful force, condense energy to form a wall.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and piercing.
With a slight release of his inner energy, he silently snapped the withered branch several feet away.
[Energy Value: 0/10000]
【Eight Desolate Prison Suppression Force (1/100000)】
The罡劲 (罡劲 is a type of internal energy) has finally been broken through!
On the only way back to Xuanyang Sect.
At this moment, Zhao Mingxu and Jin Shitai were waiting in the woods.
"Why aren't they here yet?"
Zhao Mingxu paced back and forth anxiously. "Brother Jin, what if this kid doesn't take this route, but instead takes a back path or leaves through the wilderness?"
Jin Shitai sat cross-legged on a large rock, ignoring him, and instead held a book in his hands, flipping through it by himself.
"Brother Jin!"
Zhao Mingxu couldn't help but ask again, "This kid has gotten so much money, won't he spend a few days living it up in Lingxiao Prefecture? If he doesn't return to the sect for a few days, are we just going to wait here for him?"
Jin Shitai glanced at him and said calmly, "Brother Zhao, calm down! If Chu Xuan takes the back roads or the wilderness back to the sect, the journey will be at least three times longer! Moreover, the wilderness is teeming with thugs and is even more dangerous. He's not that stupid!"
-
As for your claim that he spent a few days living a carefree life in Lingxiao Mansion, that's not impossible!
When we go out on a mission, it's always for ten days, half a month, or even longer. We're always exposed to the elements. If we don't even have the patience for those few days, what can we possibly accomplish?
Of course you're not in a hurry!
Zhao Mingxu's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly.
Jinshitai has already obtained the Marrow Cleansing Lotus, achieving his goal, so there's no need to rush. But it's different for him; not only did he not gain a single contribution point, he also lost three thousand contribution points.
If he can't wait for Chu Xuan, his three thousand contribution points will be like throwing good money after bad!
He didn't believe Jinshitai would return it to him.
Unless his father can come back safe and sound beforehand, he'll just have to accept his fate!
"Silence!"
Just as Zhao Mingxu was about to speak, Jin Shitai raised his hand to stop him, looking ahead.
Zhao Mingxu also subconsciously looked over.
A hundred meters away, a figure was walking slowly and unhurriedly.
If it wasn't Chu Xuan, who else could it be?
"Here we are, aren't we?" Jin Shitai said with a smile.
Zhao Mingxu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the next moment, a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
Whoosh!
Just as the two were about to set off, they saw Chu Xuan suddenly turn around and dart into the dense forest when he was a few dozen meters away from them.
"Damn it, this kid's spotted us! After him!"
The two shouted loudly, no longer hiding their strength, and immediately unleashed their power, chasing after Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan ran wildly through the dense forest, sensing two figures rapidly approaching from behind, and sneered inwardly.
The two were very confident and made no attempt to conceal their identities.
He recognized one of them as Zhao Mingxu!
As for the other person, his strength was clearly a notch above Zhao Mingxu's, and Chu Xuan guessed that the other person should be a disciple on the Wind and Cloud Ranking!
"Could this person be Jinshitai?"
About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a whooshing sound came from behind Chu Xuan. Then, the golden stone platform suddenly exploded, and with a leap, his body shot out like a cannonball, passing over Chu Xuan's head and landing steadily in front of him.
Zhao Mingxu followed closely behind, blocking Chu Xuan's path.
"Junior Brother Chu, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Zhao Mingxu grinned maliciously, "We're fellow disciples, inseparable friends and family! If you leave as soon as you see us, it will hurt me deeply!"
Chu Xuan merely glanced at him before his gaze fell upon Jin Shitai, and he calmly said, "Senior brother, we seem to have no grudge against each other, right? What is the meaning of your attempt to ambush me?"
"Indeed, we have no grudge against each other!"
Jin Shitai nodded and said, "But a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime! You should understand this principle, so there's no need for any nonsense about begging for mercy!"
Chu Xuan nodded and said, "That's true! In that case, I won't have any psychological burden when I kill you."
"Kill me?"
Jin Shitai chuckled, "Junior Brother Chu, you probably don't know who I am, do you?"
"I know! Jinshitai, ranked seventy-ninth on the Fengyun Ranking!" Chu Xuan said indifferently.
Jin Shitai's smile suddenly froze.
Since you know yourself, how dare you make such boastful remarks?
"Brother Jin, why waste your breath on him?! Shall we do it ourselves?" Zhao Mingxu said impatiently.
"I'll do it!"
Jin Shitai said calmly, "I'd like to see where Junior Brother Chu gets his confidence from—"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his foot hard on the ground, causing the ground to tremble like water. His body shot towards Chu Xuan like an arrow, and he threw a punch directly at Chu Xuan's face.
Before the person even arrived, a fierce gust of wind had already swept in, revealing the unmistakable strength of someone who had reached the pinnacle of internal energy.
"die!"
With a roar, his right arm, empowered by a powerful force, seemed to grow larger, pressing down on Chu Xuan with the force of Mount Tai!
Although Jin Shitai didn't seem to take Chu Xuan seriously on the surface, he didn't underestimate him at all.
They launched a full-scale attack right from the start, attempting to finish the job in one fell swoop.
This punch was so powerful that even Zhao Mingxu, who had reached the peak of his internal energy cultivation, couldn't withstand it, let alone Chu Xuan!
Chu Xuan stood still, letting the fierce wind whip his long hair and make his robes flutter, remaining unmoved!
Jin Shitai's powerful punch, containing all his strength, could not advance any further when it was still half a meter away from Chu Xuan. Instead, it slammed into a semi-transparent golden energy shield that looked like a bubble in front of Chu Xuan.
The protective barrier was very thin, as if it would break with a single puncture!
However, Jin Shitai's terrifying punch, capable of deforming even black iron, was intercepted when it struck the protective barrier.
Thump!
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted.
The next moment, a sharp pain that went deep into his bones spread from his palm throughout Jinshitai's entire body!
His fist, brimming with immense power, was like an egg smashing on a rock; it lasted only a moment before exploding with a deafening roar, turning into a bloody mist!
"Ah ...
Jin Shitai let out a shrill scream, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace.
He stared at Chu Xuan in utter shock, roaring, "罡劲 (Gāngjìn)? How is this possible?!"
Equally terrified was Zhao Mingxu, who was in charge of keeping watch on the sidelines!
Zhao Mingxu was also terrified, his face turned deathly pale, and his whole body was trembling!
Chu Xuan is actually a master of the Gang Jin realm?
All along, he had been plotting against a master of the Gang Jin realm, and today he even came with Jin Shitai to intercept and kill him?
Isn't this like an old man hanging himself, courting death?!
"Too weak!"
Chu Xuan shook his head, somewhat sighing.
He had originally intended to use Jin Shitai and the other two to test the power of Zhenyu Gang, but the result was a great disappointment to him.
These two are too weak; we can't even probe them!
"escape----"
Jin Shitai was so terrified that he didn't even have time to scream before turning around and running away!
Don't be fooled by the fact that he has already reached the peak of Transformation Realm and is only one step away from the peak of罡劲 (Gang Jin). That one step is often an insurmountable chasm! Even the weakest罡劲 is beyond the capabilities of two Transformation Realm experts!
This is suppression based on hierarchy!
However, the next moment, Jin Shitai's face turned even paler, and his forehead was covered with large beads of sweat!
He was shocked to discover that he could not move his body!
His body was as if bound by some kind of shackles, like a fly in amber. Except for his eyeballs, his entire body could not move at all!
Jin Shitai was utterly horrified.
He is a master of the Transformation Realm, and even if he is no match for a master of the Gang Realm, he would never be suppressed by the opponent's aura!
That's absolutely impossible!
Even a martial artist who has mastered the Gang Jin (罡劲) technique could never do that!
The next moment, as if he had just realized something, he looked at Chu Xuan in horror, his face drained of all color!
Suppressing Prison!
Chu Xuan is not only a master of Gang Jin, but he has also learned the Gang Jin technique known as the Eight Desolate Prison Suppressing Force!
"What kind of monster is this?"
Jin Shitai was filled with bitterness.
The Eight Desolations Prison Suppression Technique!
This is a cultivation technique that even Luo Yun, who is ranked number one on the Fengyun Ranking, has not been able to master, yet this inconspicuous junior manager of the Hundred Beasts Garden has managed to master it.
"Junior Brother Chu—spare my life! Please spare my life, I'm willing to atone for my sins!"
Jin Shitai hurriedly spoke up.
He was somewhat relieved that Chu Xuan hadn't silenced him, otherwise he wouldn't have even had the last chance to live.
"I was blind before! I'm willing to apologize to you! I have a Gangjin martial arts manual in my possession, which I obtained by chance from a senior's cave. It's definitely a top-tier Gangjin martial arts manual. In addition, I also have a section of the Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root! As long as you spare me, I'm willing to give you all of these," Jin Shitai said hurriedly.
"It's all on you?" Chu Xuan asked.
"Yes!" Jinshitai replied quickly.
"That's alright then!"
Chu Xuan didn't even lift a finger; he simply unleashed a gentle burst of his inner energy, instantly blasting Jin Shitai's head into a cloud of blood mist!
Zhao Mingxu was no longer behind him.
Chu Xuan didn't rush to chase after them. Instead, he went forward to search the corpse and quickly found the secret manual Jin Shitai had mentioned, as well as a money bag. The package on his back contained the Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root that he had previously auctioned off.
Chu Xuan was also somewhat moved.
This marrow-cleansing lotus root is truly destined for me; after going around in circles, it has returned to my hands.
