Chapter 912 - 733: Renown Spreads, Massive Gains

"What? Impossible!" Upon hearing this request, the Vein Master of the Golden Cicada Seal was shocked and instinctively wanted to refuse outright.

The Martial Soul Book is one of the most crucial foundations of a sect.

It often contains the Martial Arts True Intent passed down by the founder, combined with the sect’s mental method, it has the potential to assist disciples in achieving enlightenment, doing twice the work with half the effort, accelerating their cultivation process.

It is by no means an exaggeration to call it a family heirloom passed down through generations.

How could he bear to lend such a precious artifact to others for reading?

Even if just a little of its Spiritual Energy was lost, he would be heartbroken for a long time.

"I’ll just observe for a moment beside you, and I’ll return it immediately after." Lou Yi wasn’t surprised by the response and continued to persuade.

"Enough, enough, this old man will still..." The old Vein Master of the Golden Cicada Seal shook his head, just about to refuse again, his eyes suddenly widened.

In front of him, suddenly appeared in Lou Yi’s palm a pill as green as jade.

It’s approximately the size of a bean, its fragrance is enticing, a single whiff makes one feel lightened, all fatigue vanishes without a trace.

Above the pill is a small dragon-shaped phantom moving back and forth, and even the sound of dragon roars echo.

With just a glance, the old Vein Master of the Golden Cicada Seal judged this to be a supreme Divine Pill he had never seen before!

He was old and experienced, having once seen the Top-Grade Golden Healing Medicine from the Bright King Seal Lineage, which is considered one of the best healing pills in this world.

But compared to the pill before him, it seems far inferior.

"What kind of pill is this?" The old Vein Master took a deep breath and asked.

"True Dragon Immortal Pill."

"I’ve lived for over two hundred years, how come I’ve never heard of this pill?" The old Vein Master said with some incredulity.

"The world is vast and full of wonders, how can human effort exhaust them?" Lou Yi smiled.

’Of course you haven’t heard, this pill comes from the Vast Sea Realm,’ Lou Yi thought to himself.

From the trip to the True Monarch Blessed Land in the First Layer of the Celestial Abyss, Lou Yi obtained an entire treasure trove from Xuan Ji True Monarch, acquired many pills, becoming the biggest winner.

As for the pills that were favored and kept by the True Monarch, their effectiveness is self-evident.

The True Dragon Immortal Pill is a rare Treasure Pill that can heal Golden Core Masters, using it on a Martial Artist in the True Martial Realm would be quite extravagant.

Seeing the old man still hesitating, Lou Yi spoke again: "Your disciple just risked his life to defeat a formidable enemy, now many have been intimidated, knowing you are not to be trifled with.

This is a rare opportunity.

If you miss this, it’s not just waiting another ten years, your Golden Cicada Seal might never gain prestige, always remaining mediocre!"

With the last two sentences, Lou Yi’s voice became increasingly profound, using his talent for mockery, an invisible wave enveloped the Vein Master of the Golden Cicada Seal.

The next moment, his expression changed, involuntarily thinking of his disciple’s relentless cultivation, rain or shine, and recalling his master’s teachings on his deathbed...

"Alright, then let’s take a gamble!

Anyway, our Golden Cicada Seal Lineage is small, not afraid of being targeted by your Treasure Vase Seal Lineage!" The Vein Master of the Golden Cicada Seal said resolutely.

"You won’t regret it."

Lou Yi handed the pill to him, and the other party simultaneously handed over a peculiar item.

This item was a gray, semi-transparent insect shell, resembling a cicada shell, its surface engraved with numerous complex patterns, emitting extremely obscure waves.

The Martial Soul Book of the Golden Cicada Seal Lineage bears a great resemblance to cicadae.

After Lou Yi took it, he focused his mind on the cicada shell, carefully capturing that faint spiritual light.

The strength of his Divine Sense now is actually no less than his physical body, completely surpassing the tier two level.

Even the floating of dust in the air, the distant faint sounds, and the changes in someone else’s blood vessels within their body can be sensed clearly.

"Cicada... cicada..."

In his mind, a crisp cicada chirping sounded.

Lou Yi seemed to see a young golden cicada emerging from its shell in the Wilderness, feeding on dew, battling eagles and snakes, growing and strengthening step by step amidst the encirclement of many enemies.

After enduring various hardships, it faced head-on and prevailed, fighting against heaven and earth, fighting against beasts, fighting against the exotic race, with each bloody battle it was reborn, growing more courageous and strong...

On the Attribute Panel, a new entry appeared in the Cultivation Technique section: Golden Cicada Seal (Not Started 0/80)

It costs eighty points of Energy to start the Golden Cicada Seal.

In Lou Yi’s mind, suddenly appeared a black cicada the size of a fingernail, quietly floating in the void, motionless.

Beside it was a much larger gray vicious dog, a blue mantis chopping continuously, and a rapidly galloping red horse...

These all come from various Martial Seals Lou Yi has recently acquired, such as the Wild Dog Seal, Mantis Seal, etc.

Of course, the two largest ones are still the Perfect Seven-Colored Treasure Bottle and the indifferent-eyed falcon.

However, among them, the black cicada still stood out quite prominently.

It exhibited an ancient yet vibrant aura, emanating a faint ripple, easily sweeping the vicious dog, mantis, horse, etc., aside, with it as the dominant presence.

From the black cicada, Lou Yi could feel its immense vitality, and its spirit of never giving up.

The Golden Cicada Seal enhances combat strength the more grievously injured it is, inherently suited for battle, with deep potential.

Without a doubt, Lou Yi is prepared to carefully cultivate this Martial Seal, dedicating resources to it that won’t be inferior to those spent on the Treasure Vase Seal.

Right now, with so many people around, Lou Yi naturally wouldn’t take any action.

He looked into the distance, where the Vein Master of the Golden Cicada Seal Lineage had already had his disciple consume the True Dragon Immortal Pill.

The elixir melted as soon as it entered the mouth, flowing into the abdomen.

The next moment, the yellow-faced boy’s body emitted a dazzling white light, with a dragon-shaped phantom swiftly moving around his body.

His body, which was on the brink of exhaustion and depletion, suddenly burst forth with new vitality, with surging life energy exploding within.

Causing every wound on his body to heal rapidly, the broken bones to reconnect, and his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to soar, his skin became rosy and fair, quickly returning to its peak state!

The yellow-faced boy opened his eyes, immediately greeted by the sight of his concerned fellow disciples.

"Holy crap, that Wang Chan who was about to kick the bucket, really woke up!"

"Not only woke up, but I feel his injuries are fully recovered, and his aura even seems slightly stronger than before!"

"What kind of miraculous elixir is this? It must be nothing less than a legendary Immortal Pill!"

Everyone around who witnessed this scene was astonished, all were shocked by the terrifying properties of Lou Yi’s elixir.

The Golden Cicada Seal prodigy Wang Chan, who had just been unconscious and nearly in shock, immediately woke, his condition even better than before the battle.

The yellow-faced boy Wang Chan from the Golden Cicada Seal Lineage, after understanding the situation, rose and bowed in gratitude to Lou Yi.

"No need to thank me, it’s just a fair trade."

Lou Yi returned the Cicada Shell to the Golden Cicada Seal Lineage, fulfilling his promise to only observe for a moment.

Then, he loudly announced to the surroundings: "Everyone saw it, I have an elixir that can revive people and fully heal injuries.

If interested, you can exchange it with your sect’s Martial Soul Book! The number of elixirs is limited, so act quickly if you want to trade!"

The onlookers were deeply moved by what they heard, and gossipers quickly spread the news of Lou Yi possessing an elixir that can raise the dead and heal bones.

The news of the Vice Vein Master of the Treasure Vase Seal Lineage holding such miraculous medicinal power spread rapidly.

This was also related to the fact that people at the Martial Arts Tournament were desperate enough.

The once-a-decade global event was something any ambitious Martial Artist wanted to use to promote their sect, to spread their martial arts.

Bringing honor and revitalizing their family name couldn’t afford these martial artists to hold back.

Every martial artist stepping onto the Martial Arts Arena fought for their sect, fought for reputation, and fought for the martial path in their hearts.

As a result, almost every round someone was injured, and every few rounds someone was seriously injured.

Even the winning sects often ended up exhausted and scarred, unable to continue fighting.

At the Defending the Platform Stage, it tested not only the sect’s peak combat power but also its heritage and sustainability, both were extremely important.

If one could possess a Spirit Pill like the True Dragon Immortal Pill, it could potentially change the fate of a sect, allowing the sect to go further.

Therefore, many sects intending to enter the second round and confident in their strength sent people to negotiate with Lou Yi.

"Brother Lou, do you still have any True Dragon Immortal Pills?"

"None left."

"Ah?!"

"But I have elixirs with similar effects."

"...That’s good! That’s good!"

"Don’t rush, first introduce your sect’s Martial Seal, what are its special features?"

"..."

Too many people were looking for Lou Yi, so he started to be selective, not all Martial Seals were desired.

After all, it was currently a buyer’s market, and the number of Spirit Pills he had was limited, so they must be used wisely.

After the Golden Cicada Seal, he managed to exchange for several other remarkable Martial Seals:

The Black Crow Seal, from a remote small sect, was neither outstanding in attack nor defense, but had a special effect of causing opponents to have bad luck in battle... this even involved a bit of causality, making this Martial Seal quite extraordinary.

The Ancient Hammer Seal, which significantly boosted strength, and had a clear restraining effect on ordinary weapons...

The Spiritual Kite Seal, which had a certain enhancement effect on the user’s speed...

As he acquired more Martial Seals, Lou Yi’s foundation thickened, and his soft power quickly increased.

Only when enough energy was accumulated, and his Thousand Hands Divine Skill advanced, would be the time for his great eruption.

For this reason, the Lion Seal Lineage, always at odds with the Treasure Vase Seal Lineage, couldn’t stand it and they were watching the situation from the shadows.

The leading young disciple of the Lion Seal Lineage, Han Ping, immediately sought out the prodigy Ding Songyan of the Ape King Seal Lineage.

"Where did this kid from the Treasure Vase Seal pop out from, seems a bit unusual?"

"Though I don’t know why he wants to observe so many Martial Soul Books, in my experience, the more he wants to do something, the more we can’t let him succeed!"

"This kid has so many elixirs and miraculous medicines, which family did he steal them from?"

"As the saying goes, heavenly materials and earthly treasures are possessed by those with virtue. This kid lacks virtue, I believe he can’t handle those Spirit Pills and treasures..."

The two exchanged a glance, seeing the greed and killing intent in each other’s eyes.
