Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 393 The Blood Bodhi, a Supreme Treasure of the Martial World; the Snow Drinking Saber; and the "Six Secrets of Frostbite"

“Master, the passages here are complicated and getting hotter and hotter. It feels like we are surrounded by flames, and we feel very uncomfortable.”

Nie Feng's clothes were soaked through, and his face was covered in sweat. The temperature inside Lingyun Cave was just too high.

"I actually think this place is an excellent spot for cultivating the [Blazing Sun Technique] and the [Eclipse Sword Technique]!"

Duan Lang's martial arts skills are all extremely powerful and yang, and he is already used to high temperatures. The temperature here is like being back home to him.

As the cultivation technique is practiced, the speed at which one's skill increases is much faster than usual.

If he were to seclude himself here and train intensively for several months, he would achieve results comparable to those of years of rigorous training in the outside world.

"After all, it is the place where the Fire Qilin lives. The heat it emits every day is enough to raise the temperature of the entire Lingyun Cave to the level of the hottest place in the world."

Xu Qing spoke calmly, saying, "If it is really unbearable, you can use the Spirit Refining Method that I taught you, combined with your own power, to suppress and isolate this fire."

"Yes, Master!" Nie Feng quickly replied.

Soon, the burning sensation in his heart dissipated considerably.

"These marks are enormous; they must have been made by that fire qilin!"

Duan Lang discovered numerous enormous claw marks on the walls of the passage, clearly not the work of humans.

As the three ventured deeper, the traces they saw became increasingly dense.

Moreover, the temperature in the air felt even hotter.

Xu Qing frowned. If it weren't for the strong suppression of divine sense here, he could have directly swept through the entire Lingyun Cave with his divine sense power, instead of wandering around in this maze.

Fortunately, after taking a detour, the three of them spotted a small, secret cave that was faintly emitting a red glow.

"What is that?!" Duan Lang exclaimed in surprise.

"Could it be the Fire Qilin inside?!" Nie Feng guessed, silently channeling his inner energy.

Xu Qing shook his head slightly: "It's not a fire qilin. There's no sign of danger ahead."

He stepped into the secret cave, where he saw a patch of lush green plants laden with bright red fruit.

And it was these fiery red fruits that were shining.

"Could this be the legendary Blood Bodhi of the martial arts world?!" Duan Lang was shocked again.

Blood Bodhi is a rare treasure, said to grow only in extremely hot places, and is very difficult to cultivate with a very low yield.

But before me lay a vast expanse of blood bodhi seeds, shimmering with light and exuding a faint fruity fragrance.

“That’s right, this is the Blood Bodhi.” Xu Qing stepped forward, took one, and swallowed it in one gulp.

A warm energy immediately spread through his body and was then refined by him.

This energy possesses various effects such as detoxification, healing, and enhancing one's power.

This is why the Blood Bodhi is considered a supreme treasure of the martial arts world.

In the original story, Nie Feng was seriously injured, but he recovered quickly and greatly improved his skills after encountering the Blood Bodhi.

Unfortunately, this item had virtually no effect on enhancing Xu Qing's power.

His skill level is truly profound.

Xu Qing grabbed another handful of Blood Bodhi beads, dozens in total, and stuffed them all into his mouth. A burst of energy erupted, and Xu Qing refined them, finally increasing his power slightly.

The effects of Blood Bodhi can be stacked by taking multiple Bodhi seeds, but Xu Qing discovered that the effect could not be stacked any further after taking twenty seeds.

Such a treasure is of little help to even highly skilled, god-level martial artists.

It can at most be considered a food to replenish energy, and the taste is not bad.

"Master, how is it?!"

Neither of them took it without permission, but waited for Xu Qing's reaction.

"You should all pick some and try them. This is a rare treasure for you, but it won't be of much help to your teacher."

Xu Qing said.

Upon hearing this, Duan Lang no longer stood on ceremony. He reached out and grabbed dozens of fruits, popping four or five into his mouth at once. A surge of energy immediately exploded from the fruits. He quickly sat cross-legged, circulated his cultivation technique, and tried his best to refine the energy of the Blood Bodhi.

Unlike Duan Lang, Nie Feng was not in a hurry. He only took two pills at a time and calmly began to refine them.

Blood Bodhi was of little help to Xu Qing, so he began to observe the secret cave and then found a skeleton lying in a corner.

Xu Qing approached the skeleton and made a new discovery on the wall it was leaning against.

"This is... the Six Techniques of Aohan..."

Xu Qing's eyes flashed. A sword technique had been carved on the wall, which was none other than Nie Feng's family martial art, "The Six Secrets of Aohan".

It goes without saying that the owner of this skeleton must be Nie Ying, the ancestor of the Nie family.

Of course, there was also a divine weapon lying quietly beside the skeleton, which was none other than the Nie family's divine sword, the Snow Drinking Blade.

Xu Qing raised his hand and grasped the divine weapon. He ran a single finger across the blade, and an icy chill immediately emanated from it.

"It is indeed a fine knife!"

Xu Qing nodded. This knife is three feet and seven inches long and is the coldest thing in the world.

Legend has it that it was made from the rare stone called "White Dew," which was used by Nuwa to mend the sky.

It is absolutely a rare and divine sword.

However, Xu Qing only examined it for a moment before putting down the Snow Drinking Knife.

Even the most powerful weapon is not as important as improving one's own strength.

Then, Xu Qing memorized all the moves of the "Six Secrets of Frost" at a glance and mastered them completely.

With his current level of swordsmanship, he could master a sword technique of the "Six Secrets of Frost" at a glance and even perfect it.

Unless it's a god-level martial art, Xu Qing can easily learn and master any martial art below the god level, as long as it doesn't have special training requirements.

At this moment, a surge of true energy erupted from Duan Lang's body, the true energy seemingly as vast as an ocean surging and moving.

Duan Lang suddenly opened his eyes, a look of joy appearing on his face, and excitedly stood up:
"My skill has increased several times, reaching the level of having a vast amount of true energy!"

At this moment, Nie Feng also unleashed a powerful surge of true energy, clearly indicating that his skill had also greatly improved, reaching the level of "true energy as vast as the sea."

"Truly worthy of being called a treasure of the martial arts world! In just a short while, it has saved us nearly ten years of arduous training!"

Nie Feng's face was also flushed, and his martial arts skills had greatly improved, so he couldn't help but sigh.

"Wind, there is still an opportunity for you here," Xu Qing called softly.

Nie Feng immediately looked over and was immediately drawn to the Snow Drinking Blade that Xu Qing had stuck in the ground.

"That's it!?" Duan Lang also saw the knife, its cold light dazzling!
"This is the Nie family's Snow Drinking Saber!"

Nie Feng strode closer, grabbed the Snow Drinking Blade, and recognized it.

He had touched it years ago, and he couldn't be wrong about the feeling.

Then he noticed the skeleton leaning against the corner of the wall. Nie Feng's expression immediately changed, his heart skipped a beat, and his lips moved:

"Could these be the remains of my father, Nie Renwang?!"

"The remains of King Nie?!"

"What about my father's?!"

Upon seeing Nie Feng's father's remains and the Snow Drinking Blade, Duan Lang began searching for his father's remains and the family's divine weapon, the Fire Kirin Sword.

But after looking around, he found nothing but the Blood Bodhi.

There were no bones, and no Fire Kirin Sword!
"Could it be that my father and Nie Renwang didn't die together?!"

Duan Lang was slightly taken aback. The two of them were captured by the Fire Qilin at the same time back then, so it would have been normal for them to die together.

How could it not be there?!
So where did his dad go?!
