Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 274 Refining the Fruit of Cultivation, the Two Dragons Grieve

Inside the dragon tent, Xu Qing held a small, pale blue, translucent fruit.

You can clearly see the flow of energy inside, as well as all sorts of magical patterns.

This is a significant achievement.

Xu Qing used his abilities to strip Fu Junzhuo of all her cultivation and martial arts skills, turning them into this fruit of merit.

This was the first time he used it on someone other than himself, and the effect was still the same.

Logically speaking, Fu Junzhuo's cultivation level was very low compared to his, so it shouldn't have required him to use the divine power of the [All Heavens Gate].

Even if Xu Qing refines this level of cultivation, it won't increase much.

However, Xu Qing did not value Fu Junzhuo's cultivation level.

Rather, it was her martial arts skills inherited from Fu Cailin, one of the three great masters in the world.

Any martial artist who can become a grandmaster through their own efforts must possess extraordinary martial arts skills.

This is exactly what Xu Qing needs.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to observe the lineage of the Grandmasters in this world."

Xu Qing whispered, and after speaking, she consumed the pale blue fruit.

Soon, he felt a surge of pure true energy spreading out.

However, this energy was like a stream flowing into Xu Qing's dantian true essence sea, and was assimilated in an instant.

Then the true fire ignited, refining this energy and condensing it into tiny bits of true essence.

It was expected that it would be difficult to cause any fluctuations in Xu Qing's True Essence Sea.

The key lies in the "Nine Profound Great Law" and the "Yi Sword Technique" that Fu Junzhuo has mastered.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing mastered the martial arts and realm that Fu Junzhuo possessed.

Under his deduction, these two martial arts techniques also rapidly improved, heading towards a level that Fu Junzhuo had never reached.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Xu Qing had grasped all the secrets of the Nine Profound Great Law.

It must be said that this internal skill is indeed remarkable, containing profound truths and requiring exceptional comprehension to grasp its essence.

The true energy he cultivated was also very refined and powerful. Xu Qing commented that this mental cultivation method was no weaker than the "Heavenly Demon Great Art".

But that's all; it's not worth Xu Qing's excessive attention.

He focused his attention on the "Yi Jian Shu" (弈剑术), a martial art that represented the culmination of Fu Cailin's martial arts skills.

It is also his signature skill that made him a legend in the martial arts world.

With his comprehension awakened, Xu Qing quickly grasped the essence of this unique skill and imprinted it in his mind.

The soul is practicing swordsmanship, mastering the principles of Yi swordsmanship at a high speed, gradually evolving, and reaching mastery!
Xu Qing possesses extraordinary comprehension and is aided by a supreme treasure. He is also a master swordsman.

He practiced countless martial arts, including numerous sword techniques.

Although he does not use a sword, he has already reached a level of swordsmanship that does not rely on any external object.

Furthermore, he learned a peerless sword technique while he was roaming the world of Laughing at the world.

The Nine Swords of Dugu, a sword technique said to be able to defeat all martial arts in the world.

Although this world is not as advanced as the current one, the profound principles of this sword technique are no less than the ultimate sword arts of this world.

It also shares similarities with "Yi Jian Shu" (弈剑术), both of which involve anticipating the enemy's moves and deciphering them to counter them.

The difference lies in the principles of swordsmanship; the Dugu Nine Swords are about breaking through defenses.

The art of Yi swordsmanship lies in calculation. This swordsmanship incorporates the principles of chess, treating the exchange of moves as a battle in a game of chess, calculating the opponent's moves, and thus defeating the opponent.

This requires extremely high computing power and a strong understanding of chess principles.

Such swordsmanship is highly calculating, which reminded Xu Qing of another swordsmanship.

It also comes from the world of laughter and pride, the highest secret technique of the Taishan School, named "How to Reach Mount Tai".

"How to Determine Mount Tai" is a sword technique that requires the left hand to calculate the enemy's location, martial arts skills, movement techniques, weapon moves, and even the influence of environmental conditions, in order to find the opponent's weaknesses and defeat them.

This is also a sword technique that emphasizes calculation, but because the calculations are too complex, it is difficult for people to master.

This greatly makes it very difficult for this sword technique to succeed.

The core of calculation in "Yi Jian Shu" lies in the game of chess, which is obviously more sophisticated than "Dai Zong Ru He" and easier for people to learn.

These thoughts flashed through Xu Qing's mind, and he had already thoroughly mastered the essence of the "Yi Sword Technique".

In conclusion, this sword technique truly deserves to be called the number one sword technique of the time.

But it didn't suit Xu Qing's taste.

He disliked being calculating and always preferred to overwhelm his enemies with force.

The pursuit is the power of martial arts, and it is clear that the power of this sword technique does not match Xu Qing's style.

It was not even as to his liking as the Dugu Nine Swords.

Xu Qing shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat disappointed with Fu Cailin's martial arts skills.

It was enough to give him a feeling of being amazed, but it only reached the level of a Grandmaster.

Perhaps it was because he had seen the "Longevity Manual," a top-level martial art that could see through the mysteries of the universe, that Xu Qing's horizons were broadened.

Fu Cailin's ultimate goal was only to become a Grandmaster; he couldn't break through the void. This naturally didn't surprise Xu Qing.

"Well, he's just a figure from a small country after all. It's already quite remarkable that he's achieved this much."

Xu Qing gently shook his head, casting aside these distracting thoughts, and resumed his cultivation.

Soon, it was dawn.

The army set off again, heading north.

However, because of the assassination attempt last night, the army was very focused and vigilant, scanning all directions to ensure that no one would disturb the emperor's majesty again.

After the army had gone far away, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling finally arrived at the place where the army had been stationed the night before, around noon.

The two set off last night, leaving Yangzhou City, and then scouted the direction of the army's return to the capital, chasing after them all the way without resting all night.

"We chased her all night, but we couldn't find any trace of our godmother!"

Kou Zhong leaned against a large tree and rested for a while.

My lips are dry and cracked, and I'm expending a lot of energy.

"Young Master Zhong, look over there!"

At this moment, Xu Ziling, with his sharp eyes, spotted the sword blades shimmering in the sunlight on the ground in the distance.

Kou Zhong looked over and could vaguely make out that it was a sword.

In that instant, a bad premonition welled up in my heart.

Xu Ziling did the same; disregarding the need to rest, the two of them used their lightness skills to quickly head towards the sword blade.

Kou Zhong picked up the broken sword, his expression changing drastically: "This is my godmother's sword!"

Xu Ziling's face was also very pale. The sword was something his godmother never parted with, and now it was broken and lying here.

It is highly likely that the sword's owner has met with misfortune.

"My godmother is in trouble!" Kou Zhong gritted his teeth, his hand gripping the broken sword trembling.

"No, it's just a sword. Maybe my godmother was just captured by Yang Guang."

Xu Ziling said this in an attempt to comfort himself and Kou Zhong.

However, the next moment, he noticed the bloodstains on the ground.

Shocked, he approached the bloodstains with weak steps.

Kou Zhong was the same; his eyes were almost red.

"This must be my godmother's blood!"

Kou Zhong insisted that the bloodstains were not limited to that spot, but were heading in one direction.

The two followed the trail of blood and found a hillside.

Torn clothes lay scattered there, and there were also some scattered bones around, stained with blood.

boom!
A thunderclap exploded in Kou Zhong and his companion's minds. Their faces were filled with sorrow, their hearts ached, and they walked forward shakily.

It was finally confirmed that it was indeed Fu Junzhuo's bone.

As for the flesh and blood, they had already been eaten by the wolves.

"Godmother!"

The two knelt on the ground, crying and shouting.

There was no hope left; their godmother was truly dead.

The two were deeply pained and saddened. Although they had not spent a very long time with Fu Junzhuo, they had already formed a deep bond.

Now, seeing Fu Junzhuo dead and without a complete body, the two were overcome with grief.

"Ah! I! I will kill that damned emperor to avenge my godmother!"

Kou Zhong roared to the sky, his eyes bloodshot, showing such murderous intent towards someone for the first time.

"Young Master Zhong! Don't be impulsive! What difference is there between you going now and sending yourself to your death!?"

Xu Ziling grabbed Kou Zhong; he also wanted revenge, but he didn't lose his composure.

"How can I stay calm after that dog emperor killed my godmother!" Kou Zhong roared.

"Yang Guang has many experts around him, and even his godmother failed. With your martial arts skills, you can only deal with some low-level thieves. How can you be a match for those experts?"

If you really go like this, then forget about avenging your godmother; you'll be going to be buried with her!

Xu Ziling also roared, trying to make Kou Zhong face reality.

Kou Zhong regained some of his composure and then asked, "Then what should we do?!"

"Let's bury our godmother's remains first, so she can rest in peace. We can discuss revenge later!"

Xu Ziling said calmly, his eyes also quite red.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
