The Great Wild God - Chapter 121
Chapter 121 Exchange Secrets
Lou Shiyi will not give up this time; However, if he had the chance, Chen Xun would definitely take a look at Jade Pillar Peak. Otherwise, he would not be willing to accept it.
Before that, Chen Xun hoped that Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya, and the others would stand still and unite as many loose cultivators as possible to preserve their strength and not really become pawns for the two sects to detect lightning.
Chen Xun hesitated for a while, but he still said to Tie Xintong, “I have one thing that I don’t know if I should mention in front of Brother Tie.”
“Is there anything you can’t tell me?” Tie Xintong asked, “Although we’ve only met for a dozen days, we’ve been friends for a long time.”
“Although I cultivated with Senior Cyanwood and the others and cultivated my entire body’s blood energy to perfection, my methods of fighting against the enemy are actually limited. It’s quite regrettable that I wasn’t able to enter the Azure Water College three years ago.”
Chen Xun pondered for a while before speaking out his thoughts.
‘”That day outside Azure Water City, I saw Eldest Sister Tie reveal her ability to defend against the enemy with her Shadow Separation. I want to use seventy-two loose hands that cultivate qi and blood to exchange for cultivation techniques with Brother Tie. I wonder if it would be too rude? If this Shadow Separation technique is a secret that the Tie Clan does not pass down, Brother Tie will pretend that I did not mention it.”
Rogue cultivators were difficult, but the most difficult was to cultivate profound arts.
The Azure Water College had more than three thousand volumes of secret treasures. Anyone at any cultivation stage would be able to find a suitable cultivation technique for themselves.
As for rogue cultivators, they could spend their entire lives cultivating one or two profound arts. Not to mention the limited means of fighting against the enemy, once they encountered a bottleneck in their cultivation, it would be extremely difficult to break through.
However, rogue cultivators valued profound arts more than their lives. Apart from the cruel competition between rogue cultivators, once cultivation techniques were leaked out, they would actually expose their weaknesses to others.
The first thing a sect disciple would do when they entered the sect was to swear an oath in their hearts that they would never reveal their sect’s unique techniques to outsiders.
However, many profound arts obtained by chance were not within this limit, but no one would easily impart them to others.
Chen Xunshi was an odd number.
Chen Xun thought to himself that he might not have the chance to enter the Azure Water College again in his lifetime. If he wanted to break through, he would sooner or later need to take the initiative to change those old customs.
Tie Xintong was also stunned by Chen Xun’s words. A silent movie rang out and he said, “It’s not like the Shadow Separation Art isn’t a secret that hasn’t been passed down. I’m afraid that I’m too crude to compare to your Qi and Blood Cultivation Technique.”
Chen Xun said, “Cultivation methods are not based on strength, but on practicality. To tell the truth, Brother Tie is about to reach the perfection of the True Yang Realm. Cultivating seventy-two Sanshou is unlikely to be of much use. Brother Tie is willing to exchange for them. Chen Xun is truly taking advantage of you, and he will definitely repay you in the future.”
Tie Xintong laughed loudly and said, “What are you talking about? I also feel that wandering cultivators have a hard time living. There shouldn’t be anything between us. We are the only siblings of the Tie Clan who are struggling to survive. There is no secret of the sect. As long as the Shadow Separation Art doesn’t fall into Xiao Xiao’s hands, it will be fine.”
Chen Xun killed Lou Jiao with his bare hands. Seventy-two Sanshou and Su Lingyin were sure that he had earned quite a bit of fame in Northern Mountain City.
Chen Xun told Tie Xintong the wonders of the Great Roc Secret Fist and Seventy-two Sanshou. Tie Xintong did not need to temper her internal organs, but cultivating her qi and blood to perfection was fine, or she could be a step closer to the Reincarnation Realm. Tie Xinmei would also advance to the ninth level of the True Yang Realm and miss the best opportunity to cultivate seventy-two Sanshou.
Tie Xintong agreed to exchange the secret arts, and they were at a disadvantage, but Tie Xintong did not mind.
Chen Xun spent the past few days copying two seventy-two free-hand boxing manuals and handing them to Tie Xintong. He then asked Zhou Zhi, “Brother Zhou, do you want to learn this Qi and Blood Cultivation Method?”
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Zhi said, “I don’t have any secrets worth exchanging with you right now. I’ll come back and learn your Qi and Blood Cultivation Technique in the future. I hope you won’t refuse me at that time …”
Zhou Zhi was unwilling to exchange, and no one else said anything about him.
Tie Xintong took out a tattered beast hide book from her bosom and handed it to Chen Xun.
Chen Xun flipped through the map and saw that apart from the ten-digit map, the secret arts in the book were actually ancient characters of the bird seal. He thought to himself, it seemed that before the appearance of the barbarian characters, the ancient characters of the bird seal had existed extensively in this land.
Tie Xintong said, “I also accidentally obtained the Shadow Separation Technique. The ancient characters on it took a lot of effort before I found someone to translate them into the Cloud Continent language. I’ll hide the copy of the Silk Manual that was translated into the Cloud Continent language elsewhere. You first keep the comprehension map, and I’ll tell you the secret …”
Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya, Zhou Zhi, Tie Xinmei, and Gu Feng were guarding the entrance of the cave. Chen Xun followed Tie Xintong to the inside and listened to him teach him the secret of the Shadow Separation Art and the main points of cultivation …
Tie Xintong said that the Shadow Separation Technique was a crude technique, but it was actually a modest one. It was actually a miraculous technique.
Chen Xun had only practiced a few thousand words of the secret art, and he had memorized it once he heard it. The difficulty was still in comprehending the map, so there was no need to be anxious for a moment.
There was still time left for Chen Xun to exchange his comprehension of cultivating Qi and blood, tempering muscles, bones, skin, and flesh with Tie Xintong. He also told Tie Xintong about the method of cultivating spiritual energy.
However, Chen Xun did not say that this technique was something he had comprehended while refining the Void Origin Pearl. Instead, he placed it on Daoist Greenwood’s head.
Daoist Greenwood had indeed seen such a cultivation method in other ancient books. However, the conditions for cultivating this method were too harsh, and no one dared to try it easily.
The Qi and Blood Cultivation Technique was dispensable to Tie Xintong and the other siblings. However, Tie Xintong had never imagined that there were other secret techniques that could allow him to cultivate spiritual energy at the peak of the True Yang Realm.
However, using this method to cultivate spiritual energy would take several years without interruption. There were countless pills that consumed Qi and Blood, and they were definitely not wandering around. Tie Xintong and his sister, who did not even have a stable place, were capable of trying.
After this trip, Brother Tie can go to the Black Python to be a guest for two to three years Chen Xun said. He also took out the Shadow Separation Art so readily in Tie Xintong that he was convinced that the two of them were trustworthy.
Since Grandpa wanted to cultivate spiritual energy for Senior Cyanwood, no matter how many people Tie Xintong was, it wouldn’t cause any trouble.
Moreover, Tie Xintong’s cultivation was the strongest amongst them, and he was only one step away from reaching the Reincarnation Realm. Chen Xun hoped that he would try his best to protect Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, and Gu Feng during this trip.
*******************
Lou Yao and the others were guarding the valley, unable to drive them away like flies.
Lou Yao and the others were disciples of the Academy, so Chen Xun had no way to take the initiative to attack them. He didn’t have much chance of winning.
The next day, Chen Xun had no choice but to separate from Zong Ya and the others to avoid entering the agreed area. Lou Shiyi had already known of his whereabouts.
Before leaving, Chen Xun called Gu Jianfeng to the side and whispered to him, “Zhou Zhi is not a proper person. After you meet up with other rogue cultivators, be careful.”
Gu Jianfeng said, “Last night, he was afraid that you would deceive him with a fake boxing manual. He knew that this person shouldn’t have that kind of heroism …”
Chen Xun saw that Gu Jianfeng was able to see through everything, so he could rest assured that they could handle everything well.
He still had a seventy-two Sanshou boxing manual in his hand. In the future, he would take it out and exchange it with the other Sanshou. He would call Zong Ya over and let him have time to teach Gu Jianfeng and Gu Feng the Great Roc Secret Fist, the seventy-two Sanshou and the Subduing Yuan Technique.
Otherwise, with the Black Mountain Tribe’s Wolf Martial Technique, it would be easy to cultivate to the ninth level of the True Yang Realm, but if one wanted to make another breakthrough, it would be extremely rare.
Chen Xun was not afraid that Lou Yao and the others would be able to track him down. He walked to a remote place, took out pill ink, and painted Ah Qing’s shiny green silk fur pitch black, like a robust black leopard that had just grown up.
Even so, it was extremely irritating for a late True Yang Realm cultivator to bring a Profound Leopard to the Wilderness, so it was hard to hide it from the eyes and ears of the Gui Xi Tribe.
Thus, in the next few days, Chen Xun had chosen a remote and steep place to avoid contact with other rogue cultivators. He circled around the east and entered the area where the disciples of the two sects had agreed to compete.
Thousands of kilometers in length and breadth didn’t sound like much, but the area was more than 200,000 square kilometers, which was even more vast than the Korean Peninsula on Earth.
Five to six thousand True Yang Realm cultivators looked at the large number of people, but when they entered the wilderness from both sides, even if they were all gathered in the dense forest of mountains around Jade Pillar Peak, they were like thousands of grains of sand scattered into a deep lake. It was very likely that they would not see a single person in three to five days.
Apart from a small number of disciples of the Academy who viewed this trip as cultivation and traveling alone in the Wilderness, more disciples had to concentrate on their actions.
Almost three days after Chen Xun and the others entered the Wilderness, the convoy from the Azure Water College departed from Northern Mountain City and headed north. Only on the sixth day did they officially enter the 1000-mile radius of Jade Pillar Peak.
Chen Xun didn’t leave much of a distance as he lurked on the path that the disciples of the Academy had to take to advance into the Jade Pillar Peak.
Azure Water College sent 600 True Yang Realm disciples to participate in the competition. Apart from Su Lingyin and Su Fuchen, the other two late Reincarnation Realm elders, there were nearly 20 deacons and guest ministers sent by the various prefectures, including experts above the Reincarnation Realm.
Hundreds of scaled horses dragged twenty to thirty bronze carriages filled with profound weapons, precious armor, and medicinal pill talismans, so that rogue cultivators could enter Jade Pillar Peak to hunt down green wolves. They could exchange rewards with Azure Water College on the spot, and it was also convenient for them to repeatedly enter Jade Pillar Peak to hunt more green wolves.
In addition, there were more than a thousand rogue cultivators following the convoy.
As for the rogue cultivators who had set out first, they had almost reached a distance of five to six hundred kilometers from Jade Pillar Peak. They also stopped and waited for the follow-up teams to gather before advancing towards Jade Pillar Peak together.
Further ahead was the area where the wolves were concentrated.
Rogue cultivators in groups of ten or so looked quite strong, but if they encountered a slightly larger pack of wolves, it would not be enough.
Only the six hundred disciples of the Academy who had moved in a group were the main force that had truly charged into Jade Pillar Peak to hunt down the Blue Wolf.
Six hundred disciples of the Academy, even if their cultivation was only at the late True Yang Realm, were not able to speak the same language as six hundred rogue cultivators.
As long as the 600 late-True Yang Realm disciples didn’t fear death or injury and obeyed orders, they would even be able to flatten the mountains. As for the 600 True Yang Rogue Cultivators, in front of a truly peerless expert, they could only be slaughtered and killed to the point of falling into a rainbow pond.
Chen Xun stood at the top of the mountain far away, hiding in the snow-covered canopy, watching all of this.
Seeing that the core of the convoy, apart from the disciples, guests, and many deacons, there were more than a dozen people dressed in plain white robes, he thought to himself, These people probably came from Mystical Frost Sect, monitoring whether the Azure Water School would do anything to the disciples of the two sects during the competition.
Seeing the convoy approaching, Chen Xun was about to dive away with Ah Qing when a few sharp screams came from the sky. He raised his head and saw a black shadow rolling over from the clouds in the distance.
The sky was tens of thousands of kilometers clear, and everyone could see very far away. Chen Xun quickly saw that the rolling black figure was a two-headed strange bird!
The strange bird looked at its scales, mouth, claws, and body. It was no different from a scaled eagle, but it had two hideous and ugly long-necked heads. The disciples of the Academy and the rogue cultivators around the carriage were stunned. They did not want to see such an exotic beast the moment they entered the outer region of Jade Pillar Peak.
Two-Headed Scaled Vulture!
Many people excitedly took out their giant bows, drew arrows, and strung their strings. They watched as the two-headed scaled eagle flew towards the sky above the convoy.
When the Twin-Headed Scaled Vulture rolled close to twenty to thirty kilometers away from the convoy, everyone discovered that there was a person riding on the back of an iron-like bird, tightly hugging the neck of the Twin-Headed Vulture, as if it was about to be thrown down by the Twin-Headed Monster Vulture.
