Chapter 9: A youthful face, covered in frost.
Excited.
A glint appeared in Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
At the same time, with a single thought, Li Xiuyuan's powerful internal energy began to circulate according to the "Absorption Technique".
Inexplicably, many insights about cultivating the "Absorption Technique" appeared in his sea of consciousness.
Slowly close your eyes and carefully perceive this technique that has been almost engraved in your mind for more than ten years.
Li Xiuyuan naturally knew that from the moment he entered the "Absorption Technique" and was recorded by the max-level system, he had already mastered some of the techniques of this skill.
For example, this "Absorption Technique" is a powerful technique that absorbs the opponent's power and makes it one's own.
After entering the realm, one can absorb the opponent's power to a certain extent. For example, Li Xiuyuan is currently an eighth-rank martial artist, so he can absorb some of the internal energy of martial artists below the eighth rank.
However, Li Xiuyuan has not yet put it into practice, so he cannot make an accurate judgment.
With a wave of his hand, the panel in front of him flipped to show the requirements for reaching the maximum level of "Thunder Strike Sword Technique." Li Xiuyuan let out a long breath after just one glance.
This is a max-level system.
Once you obtain the cultivation manual and begin practicing the basics, you can be entered into the system, which will then provide the corresponding requirements for reaching the maximum level.
Moreover, the ability to input more than one technique at the same time gave Li Xiuyuan a lot of room for maneuver.
I left the room.
Under the cold moonlight, the blood in the courtyard had dried and congealed, and the corpse was naturally left unattended. The smell of blood had faded considerably under the night breeze.
However, Li Xiuyuan didn't take it seriously and walked straight to the stone table.
Li Xiuyuan had already used up a lot of the pills and herbs on the stone table. After tidying up the rest, he took out all the silver notes from the wooden box, put them in his bundle, and then looked at the few thread-bound books.
There are three books in total.
Under the cool moonlight, Li Xiuyuan was able to see clearly.
These are the lightness skill "Golden Goose Skill", the "Raging Wind Swift Sword" and a fist technique called "Wild Bull Fist", all of which are ninth-grade skills.
Li Xiuyuan was naturally very satisfied, since what he lacked most right now was a cultivation technique.
Moreover, he was already quite surprised to obtain three ninth-grade cultivation techniques in Jinshan City; he had never even considered the eighth-grade ones.
Li Xiuyuan immediately grabbed the three martial arts manuals and quickly headed towards the room next door where an oil lamp was lit.
Li Xiuyuan decided to go through all three cultivation techniques tonight and leave at dawn.
After reaching the eighth rank of cultivation, Li Xiuyuan prepared to return to Yuanguang City. After all, no matter what, his father Li Canghai's body was still in the Li family, and he had to collect his father's body. This could not wait!
Along the way, he would surely reach the maximum level of "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada". If he could also cultivate a lightness skill to the maximum level, his chances of calmly leaving the Li family with his father's body would be even greater.
Therefore, almost as soon as he sat down inside, Li Xiuyuan opened "The Golden Goose Technique" without hesitation...
As dawn breaks, the morning wind rustles through the twilight-white mountains and forests.
In the mountains outside Jinshan City.
With a series of "whoosh" sounds, several figures leaped out, the leader being a young man dressed in a black robe.
Beside him stood a tall woman, her face frosty, who said in a cold voice:
"I wonder if that bastard is still in Jinshan City?"
The man in black shook his head.
"I don't know, but according to Liu Fu, after Li Xiuyuan killed someone last night, he used the body-tempering medicinal bath to cultivate."
We've rushed here in just a few hours; it's very likely Li Xiuyuan hasn't left yet!
"Let's go, no matter what... let's go to Xuanzhen Pavilion first."
The woman nodded, and the two of them immediately led the group of people quickly toward Jinshan City.
The lights were dim, and the flickering flames seemed about to go out.
Holding a long sword, Li Xiuyuan practiced sword moves rapidly in the room, his eyes flashing with a cold light.
With a single swing, the longsword, imbued with qi and blood, struck the table, instantly splitting the already cleaved solid wood table once more before it collapsed to the ground with a crash.
[The "Swift Sword" skill has been successfully entered. Max level requirements:]
1. To swing a sword ten thousand times in the wind. (Incomplete)
2. Used the Gale Sword technique to kill more than ten ninth-rank martial artists. (Incomplete)
Ok?
Upon seeing the panel displayed before him, Li Xiuyuan's face lit up with joy. He then swiped the panel page and immediately saw that the second condition for reaching the maximum level of "Thunder Swift Sword Technique"—killing a martial artist of the same rank—had also been changed to rank nine.
It seems that because both sword techniques are ninth-grade techniques, the requirement to kill at least ten people is also limited to those of the ninth grade.
Sheathing his sword, Li Xiuyuan looked out the window at the already pale sky, where a cold, waning moon appeared exceptionally blurry.
It's almost dawn.
He carefully studied and memorized all three manuals in one night.
The system successfully recorded the beginner's skills for the Gale Swift Sword Technique, and Li Xiuyuan also tried the Golden Goose Technique. However, due to environmental limitations, he decided to start practicing the beginner's skills on the way back to Yuanguang City.
For Li Xiuyuan, who is now an eighth-rank martial artist, and with his experience in cultivating the "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada" technique, this is a significant advantage.
Once you get started with the Golden Goose Kung Fu, it becomes very easy.
As for the "Bull Fist," I've only memorized the whole thing for now, and I plan to find time to learn the basics later.
Just as Li Xiuyuan grabbed his package and prepared to leave, a series of sharp killing intents suddenly rushed towards him.
At this moment, inside the Li family's Xuanzhen Pavilion.
More than twenty figures quickly approached and stood in the courtyard in the blink of an eye.
While searching for Li Xiuyuan, they encountered Liu Fu, the manager of Li's Xuanzhen Pavilion in Jinshan City, who had fled back to Yuanguang City in a panic to report the news. After learning about the situation, they quickly rode to Jinshan City with Li Ming and Li Ting's group.
Liu Fu was the middle-aged man whose tongue was cut off by Li Xiuyuan with a single sword stroke.
Almost as soon as I stopped, I could smell the stench of blood in the courtyard. The corpses on the ground, with their scattered internal organs and severed limbs, were particularly striking.
Similarly, Li Ming and his group quickly located the room where Li Xiuyuan was.
Even through the dim light of the twilight, Li Xiuyuan's slender figure could still be vaguely seen.
"go!"
With a murderous look on his face, Li Ming pointed at the figure.
Even as they stepped out, two figures transformed into afterimages and rushed towards the room where Li Xiuyuan was.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open, but almost as soon as the two of them broke through the door, they saw a flash of sword light in front of them.
Then everything spun around, and suddenly everything went dark.
The group of people standing in the courtyard were equally astonished as they watched the two heads fly up in an instant.
It crashed to the ground with a "thud" and rolled two and a half times before stopping.
Immediately following was a "plop" as two streams of blood splattered out, and a thick, pungent smell of blood instantly spread.
As the two figures that had charged forward fell to the ground, everyone saw the figure that had been blurry just moments before appear before them in a flash.
But on that incredibly clear young face, frost covered everything!
