A hundred lifetimes of cultivation, merely seeking immortality in the cultivation world.

Chapter 104 Supernatural Powers

"The Art of Puppetry" is worth 1,200 spirit stones.

The "Cheng Yi Dan Jue" is worth 1,500 spirit stones.

Both of these are top-grade heirlooms. Just by looking at the cover, one can tell how exquisite they are. They are specially wrapped in high-quality cloud ink talisman paper and contain a jade slip as a supplementary record.

Lu Qingyun read through it and couldn't help but feel regret.

"No wonder Pei Zhao didn't take any pills or activate the puppets before. It turns out that both of these Hundred Arts inheritances are fire-attribute techniques. Puppetry is easy to learn but difficult to master, and pill-making is even more impossible to use without a fire-attribute spiritual root."

"My spiritual root is primarily wood with secondary metal and mixed with a certain amount of earth, making it a low-grade spiritual root. It is impossible for me to learn these two skills, which is truly a pity."

"It seems I'll have to find an opportunity to sell these two techniques and see if I can get the resources I need in return."

Putting down the two volumes of "Hundred Arts," Lu Qingyun continued to ponder.

"The killing of the North Gate official and Pei Zhao will inevitably cause great chaos in Yunxia City. Although their cultivation levels are only at the late stage of Qi Refining, their positions are very important."

"The North Gate official is in charge of the city gate troops and is responsible for the entry and exit of the city. Pei Zhao is even the Vice Minister of Works. Although I have cleaned up the traces and am not afraid of Da Yun's investigation, there will definitely be repercussions after this matter."

"If Da Yun really wants to investigate in detail, then I, who have grudges against both of them, will inevitably come into their sights. My advancement to the half-step Foundation Establishment stage, although not fatal, is still a troublesome matter."

Thinking about it, Lu Qingyun shook his head and smiled.

It's troublesome, really, but it's just about dealing with the demon-slaying guards who are investigating.

Given the character of Da Yun, he will likely be extorted by those demon-slaying guards.

On the contrary, if he were a spy for the Demonic Sect, those Demon Exorcists would be running away as fast as they could.

Sitting cross-legged and holding his breath, Lu Qingyun regulated his breathing, preparing to consolidate his understanding of supernatural powers gained during this battle.

After killing the Pei family and cutting down the big elm tree, Lu Qingyun felt that his understanding of [Ten Thousand Trees] had deepened.

"The so-called 'growth of all trees' refers to the fact that all trees draw upon the spirit of heaven and earth to grow. Heaven and earth contain spirit, and all living beings contain spirit. What in this world does not contain spirit?"

A single thought sparked it.

Lu Qingyun lightly pointed a finger in the void, and the surrounding space immediately swayed. Tiny tree buds began to sprout from the air and quickly formed a tree branch.

Seeing this, Lu Qingyun laughed:

"Just as I expected, my previous activation of [All Trees Grow] was too restrictive, only able to use the land or a human body as the medium for activating the supernatural power. But now, even in a void or with a magic sword, I can activate the supernatural power to draw life force from it and generate all trees."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Qingyun pointed out another finger.

Instantly, the wooden branch in the void began to thicken, growing to several meters in diameter, its branches and leaves becoming lush and dense.

Then, the wisps of leaves began to change again.

One leaf transformed into an elm tree, another into a willow tree, and so on, more than a dozen kinds of trees began to sprout from a single branch.

Lu Qingyun seemed lost in thought, a mixture of joy and worry.

"Although this supernatural power doesn't seem to have any effect at the moment, its potential is undeniable. I am only half a step into the Foundation Establishment stage now, and I can use this supernatural power to transform a piece of tree into more than a dozen kinds of trees."

"If my cultivation improves further in the future, wouldn't that mean I could not only create ordinary wood, but even spiritual wood?"

"In this way, even if it is not used for anything else, just selling spiritual materials can make a lot of money."

"It's just a pity..."

Lu Qingyun took a deep breath and sighed.

"The stronger this [Myriad Trees Grow] technique is, the stronger the person behind it who is plotting against me is. In this world, I'm afraid I won't see the day when I can bring forth myriad trees with a single finger."

Several days passed, and Lu Qingyun continued to consolidate his cultivation and attempted to cultivate the next supernatural power.

However, before Lu Qingyun could close his eyes and circulate his energy, a voice came from outside the cave.

"The Cloud Talisman Master is available. The Demon Exorcist Guard is investigating. Please cooperate immediately!"
