Chapter 671: Grandmaster Will Clash, Second-stage Dragon Elephant 40,000 Jin!

Chapter 671: Chapter 362: Grandmaster Will Clash, Second-stage Dragon Elephant 40,000 Jin!

After all, no one dares to completely tear their mask apart easily. Once a Great Cultivator loses their restraint and goes on a killing spree, though they cannot kill the ancestors of each major power who are also Great Cultivators, they can make the heads of these major power leaders and genius bloodlines roll.

This situation is something other major powers cannot bear, and this is precisely the balance and tacit understanding maintained by the major powers of Donglai for hundreds of years or even longer.

Only the young man’s eyes in Tang Courtyard sparkled with brilliance.

“Under Third Grade, all are ants. Is this the might of a Martial Arts Grandmaster? Just the clash of wills makes me feel suffocated and insurmountable…” The young man murmured to himself, yet his tone was not downcast; instead, there was an eager anticipation and a strong expectation.

After the upcoming New Year, by next autumn, Su Mu is just barely twenty, compared to these old fellows who have been cultivating for a hundred years or even several hundred years.

Currently, Su Mu is at most a toddler, barely learning to speak at three years old. His cultivation path, everything belonging to him, is merely just beginning.

Snowflakes danced and fluttered down from the sky; the young man quickly settled back into cultivation. Pieces of Glazed Bone and Dragon Tendons flowed with an indescribable power, eleven Immortal Golden Spots lurking with mysterious profundity of ancient martial artists from the era of the Qin Empire.

Every moment, his strong five viscera and six bowels pulse to create fresh blood, nurturing his flesh, and after every wash, the golden hue in Su Mu’s blood becomes more potent and clearer.

The young man’s physique grows as well in the cultivation of Flood Dragon Shocking Skill, Profound Demon Five Transformations, Immortal Body, and Three-Turn Dragon Elephant Skill, silently accumulating energy, awaiting the next transformation.

…

“Sun the Alchemist, I would like to ask you to help me refine a furnace of Calm Spirit Pill and a furnace of Three-Turn Qi and Blood Pill. I have prepared all the materials, and I am willing to take two out of ten as compensation.”

In the Alchemy Hall of the Cyan Fish Gang, a disciple wearing a Martial Robe of Cyan Flood Dragon Hall spoke respectfully.

Su Mu, dressed in a white alchemy robe, glanced over the herbs and nodded slightly.

“I do not take responsibility for any refining failure. You can collect the pills tomorrow evening.”

“Alright, I trust Sun the Alchemist!”

With Su Mu’s approval, the disciple of Cyan Flood Dragon Hall nodded repeatedly before leaving. Nowadays, throughout the Cyan Fish Gang, especially the Alchemy Hall and Ink Scale Hall, have been thoroughly purged by Baili Hongtang through appeasement methods.

Zhao Youde, the former Alchemy Hall Master, has become a thing of the past. Master Zhou Cang has stepped out to take charge of the Alchemy Hall again, and the wrongly accused Sun Li, Sun the Alchemist, has naturally cleared his name. Thus, Su Mu restored the identity of Sun the Alchemist and returned to the Alchemy Hall.

No other purpose, as there are some days left until the Sea Pirates Trading Conference, and a few days ago, the second sister delivered a new batch of herbs for refining the Profound Pattern Pill, so Su Mu seized the opportunity to practice during this period.

Incidentally, this could also be a chance to extract some refined pills; although mosquitoes may be small, they are meat. After leaving Donglai County in the future, he would need to use his own herbs to refine pills.

Moreover, due to recent purgings, the Alchemy Hall has encountered a shortage of alchemists. Initially, a disciple sought out Su Mu to give it a try.

Now that Su Mu has assisted Master Zhou Cang in refining the Little Yellow Court Ancient Pill, during this period, although his focus was on cultivation, his alchemy skills have been gradually improving due to his terrifying comprehension.

Currently, Su Mu could be considered an Alchemy Master, second only to an Alchemy Grandmaster, with the difference perhaps being just the experience in alchemy.

In short, when the disciple with intent to try received the refined pills after just one day, he was stunned. Of the two furnaces of Qi and Blood Pills provided, after extracting two-tenths, he still obtained twelve pills in total.

Moreover, each pill was crystal-clear with distinct pill patterns and faintly emitted a treasure aura. This was not merely supreme grade elixirs but was within the realm of top grade elixirs!

In fact, those two furnaces of Qi and Blood Pills were refined that very morning. For Su Mu now, this quality was merely a warm-up, and he extracted not two-tenths but exceeded three-tenths.

Since that time, word spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, and the name of Sun Li spread throughout the Cyan Fish Gang.

Privately, people began to refer to Su Mu as Master Sun; they simply refrained from calling him openly out of fear of offending Master Zhou Cang.

Yet everyone was aware that Master Zhou Cang was old, and Master Sun was simply too young. The future of the Alchemy Hall would surely belong to Master Sun, and everyone, from disciples to the Vice Hall Master, treated Su Mu with utmost politeness when seeking his refinement services.

The emerald-green furnace roared with fire, and blue smoke pervaded the room.

Soon, outside the Commandery City, a slender, pale hand lifted the furnace lid, and immediately the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged in. Lifelike spiritual birds circled in the air, and the fragrance of pills wafted through.

“Another furnace of Profound Pattern Pill has been refined; this time it’s five pills, maintaining a fifty percent success rate.”

Su Mu showed a look of satisfaction, recalling the time before going to sea when managing to refine only one or two pills was still vivid in his memory.

If Su Mu’s fifty-percent success rate in stabilizing the refinement of the Profound Pattern Pill, an Ancient Pill, were to be spread, it would surely cause Master Zhou Cang, the famed seasoned Alchemy Master of Donglai County, to have his jaw drop.

“The new batch of herbs sent by the second sister has been fully refined, totaling forty-three pills… Calculating by two Profound Pattern Pills needed to cultivate one Immortal Golden Spot, I have enough elixirs to cultivate twenty-one more golden spots. It’s more than sufficient to open the Little Vajra Secret Realm!”

Su Mu secretly nodded, casually storing the newly refined Profound Pattern Pills in a small porcelain bottle before quickly leaving the scene.

By the time he returned to the Commandery City, it was already nightfall, and the festive atmosphere was thick on the streets, brightly lit, with children wearing festive red jackets chasing and playing in the snow.

“Dong, dong, dong—!”

Su Mu wandered aimlessly through the streets and alleys, soon drawn by the dense sound of iron forging, and following the sound, his eyes subtly flickered.

He saw, at a not small storefront from where the blacksmithing sounds came, a twelve to thirteen-year-old girl wearing a tiger-headed hat was pasting Spring Festival couplets with a rugged man with a full beard.

After watching for several breaths, Su Mu quietly turned and left.

Three days later.

Resounding clangs rang out like battlefield charge shouts, waves upon waves growing even more soul-stirring, and the faces of Baili Clan disciples stationed outside Tang Courtyard changed instantly, full of awe.

They had only recently advanced to Fourth Grade, yet under this killing intent, their hairs stood on end, and they felt a strong sense of crisis.

“What an astonishing killing aura, who exactly is this person, and how many people have they killed?!”

No one could answer the doubts in their hearts; regarding the person living in Tang Courtyard, the second miss had never mentioned them, too secretive for them to know, let alone qualify them to understand any of it.

Hundred Battle Fist (Perfection)

Comprehension: 234 (Heavenly Star Descends)

The young man in Tang Courtyard exhaled lightly, the frost in the sky congealing, and Su Mu looked at the two lines of text that appeared before him, focusing on the comprehension section.

“When I first achieved entry-level in the Hundred Battle Fist, it increased my comprehension by 3 points. Now at perfection, it merely boosts it by 4… It must be related to my constantly improving comprehension and recent advancement to Fifth Grade.”

Two days later.

Three-Turn Dragon Elephant Skill (Great Success 78%)

The roar of Dragon and Elephant echoed through Tang Courtyard, accompanied by the resonating sound of an Ancient Bell ringing in response.

Su Mu’s shoulder and back suddenly brightened with the first Dragon Elephant pattern, then the second Dragon Elephant pattern quickly emerged, simultaneously transforming from a darkened blood-red to a deep golden hue, completing the second turn of Dragon Elephant!

“Eh? When I achieved one turn, the strength of my flesh only increased by about twenty thousand catties…” Su Mu’s eyes glimmered, “After reaching the second turn, it directly doubled; my qi power increased by nearly forty thousand catties this time!”

Accordingly, should the three-turn double again, it would be eighty thousand catties. Thus, the total for three-turn perfection would be the power of one hundred forty thousand catties.

One Elephant’s power equates to ten thousand catties, one Flood Dragon’s power equates to ten Elephants, one hundred thousand catties, while the power of a Dragon equates to ten Flood Dragons, one million catties, perfectly completing Three-Turn Dragon Elephant Perfection.

“One million catties may be unrealistic, but one hundred forty thousand catties as the power of a Fifth Grade Horizontal Training Technique is quite decent.”

Su Mu was slightly surprised inside; now seeing this martial art far exceeded his initial expectations, even according to his current perspective, it was still a pleasant surprise.

Three-Turn Dragon Elephant Skill at Great Success indeed rivals the Fourth Grade techniques from Flying Fish Pavilion, worthy of being comparable to Fourth Grade martial arts, courtesy of the temple’s old bald master’s high-quality output.

The following day.

Fiery trees and silver flowers filled the sky with fireworks, and Donglai County stayed awake all night.

“Third brother, you must be cautious upon this journey; before leaving Donglai County, return to Cyan Fish Gang once more, and we’ll see you off.”

“Okay.”

Two days later, Baili Hongtang, the Vice Leader of Cyan Fish, whom was impossibly busy, personally escorted someone ten li out of the city, and Su Mu turned to wave before leaping onto his horse, galloping towards the harbor.
