Long Yu looked at the jade slip in his hand.
"Fallen Dark Star, Transcendent Ancient Martial Skill. Its main function is defense."
Long Yu read out the contents of the jade slip and felt a little strange, "It's only Transcendent Ancient Martial Skill? I thought it would be at least Top Ancient Martial Skill."
"Hehe, you're still not satisfied?"
The Death Envoy laughed cruelly and said, "Of course I have many Immemorial Martial Skills on me, but they are not suitable for you, because you mainly comprehend the Nine Nether Divine Characters, and these Immemorial Martial Skills of mine all need the Death Divine Characters to complement them. Therefore, this Transcendent Ancient Martial Skill is the best I can offer. "
"However, don't underestimate this Fallen Dark Star. Although it's not the most powerful martial skill for me, it's definitely the most powerful defensive martial skill! Of course, in order to display the strongest defensive power of this martial skill, it must be combined with the secret method of Balanced Control. "
The Death Envoy's voice entered Long Yu's ears, and Long Yu nodded slowly.
Long Yu knew that what the Death Envoy said was the truth. This Fallen Dark Star was indeed a good defensive martial skill. In fact, with a balanced control, the defensive effect would definitely surpass that of an ordinary primordial martial skill!
Fallen Dark Star, Transcendent Ancient Martial Skill, could condense a small shadow light shield for defense with the power of the Divine Script of Shadow. These shadow light shields were called "Fallen Dark Stars".
Different from ordinary defensive martial skills, the Fallen Dark Star's defensive range was very small. Each Fallen Dark Star was less than the size of a fist, but its defensive power was extremely terrifying. It could easily resist the attack of an opponent whose cultivation was at least two levels higher than the user.
In other words, if an ordinary early-stage King Stage Martial Cultivator could condense enough Fallen Dark Stars in a short period of time, then he could resist the attack of a late-stage King Stage powerhouse!
Such a terrifying defensive martial skill was worthy of being an Transcendent Ancient Martial Skill. However, if it was used as an ordinary defensive martial skill, it would consume a lot of energy.
For example, if an Early-stage King Realm master wanted to rely on a Fallen Dark Star to defend against the omnidirectional bombardment of a Late-stage King Realm master, then he would need to condense enough Fallen Dark Stars to surround himself, and the energy consumed would be enough to drain him dry.
"This martial technique must be matched with balanced control!"
Long Yu's eyes lit up.
Balanced Control was a secret technique that the Death Envoy had imparted to Long Yu previously. It used the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth to stimulate certain meridians within the body. After success, it would open up some special meridians.
Most secret martial arts were cultivated on this principle. Opening up different special meridians would bestow different special abilities to the cultivator.
Balanced Control would bestow a cultivator with extremely precise perception and detailed control over various powers. As long as one successfully cultivated Balanced Control, even if it was only the first level, they would be able to keenly sense the changes in the flow of power around them.
"Therefore, if I cultivate Balanced Control, I will be able to perceive which part of the opponent's attack is weaker and which part is stronger … Combined with Balanced Control, I can carry out targeted defense by relying on the Fallen Dark Star!"
"In this way, when facing a large-scale attack of the same strength, I will only need to consume one-tenth or even one-hundredth of my original strength to resist it!"
Powerful, the Fallen Dark Star was absolutely powerful!
As long as he really cultivated Balanced Control and Fallen Dark Star, Long Yu could easily defend against the attacks of experts who were much stronger than him. For example, he could defend against the attacks of a late-stage King Stage powerhouse when he was at the Early-stage of the King Stage.
"Most importantly, because this Fallen Dark Star consumes very little energy, there is almost no pressure on the meridians when I use it. In other words … I can use it continuously!"
Long Yu became even more excited. This point was meaningless for a Martial Cultivator who had stepped into the Mid-stage King Stage, because Mid-stage King Stage Martial Cultivators mainly tempered their meridians. They had reached the point where their meridians wouldn't be exhausted no matter what method they used.
But for the current Long Yu, this point was extremely important. Simply put, he had an additional defensive skill that he could use continuously, and this would become his greatest asset when fighting against Mid-stage King Stage Martial Cultivators!
Originally, although Long Yu had improved a lot, he wasn't sure if he could defeat a Mid-stage King Stage Martial Cultivator. But as long as he cultivated the Fallen Dark Star, this wouldn't be a problem.
…
Long Yu cultivated in the Asura Ancient Palace for a night and left early the next morning.
One night's time wasn't enough for him to successfully learn the Fallen Dark Star martial skill, but it allowed him to understand some of the principles behind it. He wasn't far from officially learning it.
"Today is the day of the Su Clan's Medicine Hall's auction. It's time to go in …"
Long Yu returned to the Holy City of the Five Emperors and paid a hundred shenbi with his original appearance. After entering the Holy City of the Five Emperors, he directly walked towards the Su Clan's Medicine Hall. When he approached the Su Clan's Medicine Hall's auction house, he directly transformed into Qin Yashuang.
A beautiful woman in white!
Long Yu didn't feel awkward at all. After all, this was just his current appearance. His real body was inside the Book of Shadows.
After transforming into Qin Yashuang, Long Yu looked exactly the same as her. He wore white clothes, had a tall stature, was an early-stage King Stage Martial Cultivator, and his appearance was picturesque, attracting the attention of many people.
After successfully entering the Su Clan's Medicine Hall, Long Yu directly called for a manager, paid 10,000 shenbi, and directly asked for a VIP room.
He didn't want to be stared at like a beauty in the auction hall …
The person presiding over this auction was Witch Su, Su Ningan herself. After Long Yu stepped into the VIP room, Su Ningan appeared in the auction hall. Standing on the stage, she smiled and announced the start of the month's end of auction. She looked beautiful under the light, attracting the attention of countless martial cultivators in the hall.
Long Yu didn't care what Su Ningan was saying to stir up the atmosphere of the auction hall. He only cared about the things he was about to bid on — the Shadow Imperial Pill, the Yang Sealing Pill, and the Void Ghost Pill!
These three were all great desolate grade pills. Among them, the Shadow Imperial Pill could increase Long Yu's compatibility with shadow attribute divine characters. The Yang Sealing Pill was a life-saving pill. After taking it, even if the body was completely destroyed, it could be regrown. As for the Void Ghost Pill, it was an explosive pill for shadow attribute divine characters.
As long as one took the Void Ghost Pill, the power of any martial arts technique or magic with shadow attribute divine characters would increase by three times. It was equivalent to raising the cultivator's martial arts realm by one level.
"I must get three Shadow Imperial Pills. It would be best if I could get three Void Ghost Pills. As for the Yang Sealing Pill, I must get at least one …"
Long Yu thought to himself. At this time, the auctions in the auction hall had already begun.
At the beginning, there were some inferior desolate grade pills. They were all sold as a package. There was even a set of 100 inferior desolate grade pills. The auction price was equivalent to one superior desolate grade pill.
In comparison, the amount of Spiritual Qi contained in the two sets was about the same. The only difference was that the 100 inferior desolate grade pills were more suitable for the younger generation with lower cultivation. That way, they wouldn't absorb too much Spiritual Qi at the same time and explode.
A set of 100 kinds of low-grade Desolation Level elixirs was indeed good for the younger generation of some forces. Long Yu was tempted when he saw it. If he had some spare money, he could buy some for the people in the Heavenly Mandate Manor. But now, Long Yu didn't know if he had enough divine coins to bid for the elixirs he needed.
Anyway, such an auction would be held every month. Long Yu would satisfy his needs first. He would consider buying the others when he returned to the Heavenly Mandate Manor.
Desolate grade pills …
Recipe for desolate grade pills …
Desolate grade weapon molds …
All kinds of cultivation resources appeared at the auction. There were even things like the Divine Heir Essence that Long Yu had absorbed before, the Shadow Heaven Stone, which could greatly improve the strength of a martial arts cultivator.
"The next item for auction is a fruit, the Fruit of Life. This is a precious fruit picked from a barren country in the south. After consuming it, it can enhance the cultivator's affinity with the Divine Text of Life. As for how much, it depends on your luck."
Su Ningan, a witch in a bright red dress, revealed a charming smile and took out a small transparent bottle. Everyone saw that in the bottle, there was a fruit with white juice flowing on its surface.
The Fruit of Life!
Long Yu was tempted. In addition to his affinity with the Divine Text of Shadow, he was also compatible with the Divine Text of Life. If he could improve his affinity with the Divine Text of Life, it would enhance the power of the Divine Text of Siphon, and the power of the Soul Seal Siphon.
For Long Yu, this was quite a good thing!
"The starting price of the Fruit of Life is 100,000 Shenbi. Each increment must be no less than 10,000 Shenbi. Start now!"
As soon as Su Ning 'an finished speaking, the crowd became lively once more. There were many martial cultivators present who were compatible with the Divine Rune of Life. Which cultivator who could participate in such an auction didn't have 100,000 Shenbi to spare?
Soon, the price of the Fruit of Life was raised to 230,000 Shenbi.
"300,000 Shenbi."
Long Yu directly called out a price, pushing the price up by a large margin. Through his observation, he knew that the items that appeared at this time were worth around 300,000 Shenbi. In any case, if he could get the Fruit of Life with 300,000 Shenbi, it wouldn't be considered a loss for him.
After 300,000 Shenbi, no one followed. Even some martial arts cultivators who were compatible with the Divine Text of Life didn't want to spend 300,000 Shenbi to buy the Fruit of Life. The most important reason was that no one knew the quality of this Fruit of Life!
Although it was the same Fruit of Life, the effects of a high and low quality Fruit of Life were completely different. In a person's life, only the first time they took the Fruit of Life would have full effects. On the second and third times, the effects would be reduced by half.
"I hope my luck is good."
