Chapter 645 - 349: Spring Eye Fiend Qi, Grandmaster-level Secret Technique!

Although Su Mu had long since heard the name of the Martial Emperor from the Pharmacist and the Sun Family Ancestor one after another, as his Cultivation grew higher and his life experience became richer after stepping out of the Land of Cyan Clouds, now, when he learned more detailed deeds of the Martial Emperor from another’s mouth, he felt all the more shocked.

A Martial Artist born by nature, born already comprehending Martial Momentum, his strength penetrating a hundred meridians!

And before reaching the age of thirty he advanced into the First-Grade Celestial Human Realm, and might even have stepped into an unknown Realm above the Heavenly Human Realm, actually relying on his own strength alone, in those years when the Martial Dao had collapsed, to forcibly create the Three Flowers Sealing Method that would be passed down through the ages for ten thousand years thereafter.

Yet the Martial Emperor still suffered Heavenly Punishment and died in ominous fashion, his ending of dying in the prime of life causing all who heard of him in later generations to sigh and lament, beating their chests.

However it was precisely this sudden fallen fate that added a touch of mythic legend and mysterious color to his brief yet brilliant life, so that even though the river of years has flowed for tens of thousands of years, he still forever lives on in the hearts of later Martial Artists.

His merit in continuing the Martial Dao is enough to make Martial Artists and even Three Religions Cultivators of later generations remember him forever.

"Great Elder, does the Cyan Fish Gang have any place where Yin Sha or Yang Sha is abundant?

Su Mu drew a light breath, calmed his emotions, and then immediately brought forth what he truly had in mind."

Hearing this, Qiu Mountain’s eyes flickered and he did not think much of it. The young man before him was so mysterious he could not see through him clearly, and he thought that Su Mu was perhaps planning to use a Yin Sha or Yang Sha place to Cultivate some kind of Martial Arts?

In Qiu Mountain’s eyes as a dignified Martial Arts Grandmaster, such Martial Arts were not rare. Within the Cyan Fish Gang there were quite a few Martial Arts that used Yin Sha and Yang Sha to assist Cultivation; moreover, once Flood Dragon Shocking Skill was Cultivated to a profound Realm, one could also borrow Yin Evil Power and Yang Evil Power to temper the physique so as to unleash the power of Jiao Transformation.

"Naturally we do. Qingzhou lies to the north of Great Yan, an icy cold land by nature. Donglai County has many rivers, and quite a few Yin Sha places. Little friend need not personally go there; I will immediately order people to bring back several portions of the purest Yin Evil Power within the gang and arrange a secluded Cultivation place for little friend. I absolutely will not let anyone disturb you."

Qiu Mountain agreed on the spot without much hesitation, and intended to arrange a secluded Cultivation place for Su Mu.

This was for the sake of the current overall situation. In Cultivation years pass without notice—if Su Mu left the Cyan Fish Gang to go to a Yin Sha place to Cultivate, should the overall situation change, in most cases he would not make it back in time and accidents would easily happen. For safety’s sake, directly providing Yin Evil Power to Su Mu was more suitable.

Su Mu naturally could think of these things as well, so he quickly nodded.

"Many thanks, Great Elder... and I must trouble Great Elder to draw out some Elixirs that assist the fusion of Yin Yang Evil Power for this junior."

"This matter is only natural."

Qiu Mountain refused nothing; in his view these were all small matters, just some external things. Besides, it was something Qiu Mountain was happy to see if Su Mu’s strength advanced.

In the period of time before the storm completely arrived, the stronger Su Mu’s strength became, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for their side.

The night was quietly still. Taking the opportunity, Su Mu asked several more questions about Cultivation, both to divert Qiu Mountain’s attention and to resolve his own doubts.

Before long, someone from the Baili Clan hurriedly arrived and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

The newcomer was incomparably respectful, dropping to one knee and calling out "Great Elder." Qiu Mountain, with his back to him, waved his hand. "Leave the things and withdraw on your own."

"Yes!"

Qiu Mountain’s attitude entirely changed from his earlier amiability, yet the newcomer showed no hint of displeasure, instead feeling honored; the man before him was the Cyan Fish Gang’s town-securing Great Cultivator, someone he almost never had the chance to see.

At once this Baili Family disciple respectfully presented ten small iron boxes of dark material. Upon the iron boxes were carved streak after streak of Inscription. Among them Su Mu recognized some Inscription with Reinforcement effects, and also some that seemed to serve as seals.

At the very instant the ten iron boxes were taken out, Su Mu keenly sensed a clear drop in the temperature within the side hall. The air within half a zhang around the iron boxes condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye into a layer of icy mist.

Even before the iron boxes were opened there was already such cold aura. The Yin Evil Power within them was clearly extremely pure!

In addition, there were also three exquisite Cyan Jade small bottles taken out alongside them; it was clear that what was contained within was Elixirs used to assist the fusion of Yin Evil Power.

"Five-Tailed Cyan Jade Bottles—these are Fifth Grade Elixirs."

Having once been a member of the Cyan Fish Gang’s Alchemy Hall, he knew that the Cyan Fish Gang used different styles and materials of small bottles for Elixirs of different grades. The Cyan Jade bottles carved with five fish tails before his eyes were precisely the standard for Fifth Grade Elixirs.

After handing over the iron boxes and Elixirs, this Baili Family youngster, before respectfully taking his leave, glanced with slight curiosity at the young man standing beside the Great Elder. He actually had no impression of this person whatsoever.

"The Great Elder personally ordered me to deliver ten portions of Yin Sha from the deepest part of the Three-Cold Spring’s spring eye, and three bottles of the best quality Yin Evil Pill. Could this person be the Great Elder’s descendant by blood?"

After Baili Xin withdrew from Tang Garden, envy appeared on his face as he silently thought thus in his heart. He, as a Baili Family youngster, had only managed, by luck, to obtain a single portion of the most ordinary Three-Cold Spring Yin Sha when assaulting Fifth Grade.

It was only because the Three-Cold Spring was the highest-quality Yin Sha place under the Cyan Fish Gang’s name—a strange land born of three cold veins naturally nurtured and intersecting for over five hundred years. Every strand of Yin Sha Qi produced within was extremely precious.

Each strand, if taken to the Black Market to be sold, could easily fetch a price equivalent to a Fifth-Grade Treasure Artifact, often reaching ten thousand taels of silver, and moreover being something that was in demand yet not readily available—something not easily bought even with money.

Only elite disciples within the gang and some Elders had the chance to obtain Yin Sha Qi from the Three-Cold Spring’s spring eye for Cultivation.

As for that spring-eye Yin Sha, only core Elders and each Hall Master and other figures holding real power were qualified to receive it; while that from the very deepest point of the spring eye was something only the Gang Leader, the Great Elder, and the Gang Leader’s successor were qualified to enjoy.
