One-vein qualified, two-vein excellent, three-vein phenomenal, and four-vein perfect.
Normally, unless one was a master alchemist, it was impossible to refine a perfect four-vein pill.
Hence, three-vein pills were considered the best.
One-vein Flood Pill could raise one's cultivation level in a short time, two-vein Flood Pill raised it to two, and three-vein Flood Pill raised it to three.
"Only Martian realm warriors can use the Flood Martial Pill. It seems that the malicious ghost has just broken through to the Mercury Realm and hasn't had the time to use it yet. Now, it's mine."
Zhou Yang was secretly delighted. As an alchemist, he knew the value of combat pills.
This type of pill was used to protect one's life. Hence, its price was much higher than recovery and healing pills.
A one-vein Flood Martial Pill cost about one million. Three-vein pills could cost more than three million. It was even possible for it to cost four million.
Many Martian realm warriors couldn't afford it. Only rising stars with high social status or young masters from powerful families could afford it.
After putting the Flood Martial Pill away, he took out the last item in his storage ring.
"Commentary on the Fatal Flying Dagger!"
Zhou Yang smiled again. He quickly flipped it open and saw that the handwriting was not new. It was obvious that the malicious ghost hadn't written it himself. It must have been written by someone else.
"It's powerful indeed. With this, I'll be able to avoid many detours."
The book explained each level of the Fatal Flying Dagger in detail. There were also notes on the breakthrough of each level.
"The Fatal Flying Dagger tests a warrior's control of Vital Qi and Mental Energy. When both can be freely controlled and used, it will involve artistic conception. The artistic conception of the Fatal Flying Dagger is to kill. When the dagger is used, it will kill!"
When the dagger is used, it will kill!
Zhou Yang was excited. He was full of admiration for the person who had written this commentary. Of course, he was even more impressed by the Supreme Assassin who had created this technique.
The first level of the Fatal Flying Dagger was already so terrifying. Wouldn't the second and third levels be earth-shattering?
It was no wonder that it could kill a monarch-level powerhouse.
"The first three levels don't involve artistic conception. They focus on the control of Mental Energy and Vital Qi …"
Zhou Yang closed the annotation and silently recited the Fatal Flying Dagger incantation.
"The saber is one with the body, and the body is one with the intent. When the intent moves, the heart moves, and the body moves. When the body moves, the saber moves. Using the spirit to control the qi, using the qi to control the saber …"
The small flying knife spun in Zhou Yang's hand, surrounded by flaming True Qi.
Whoosh!
After spinning a few times, the flying knife pierced through the air and embedded itself into the wooden door.
Although he had never practiced the flying dagger technique, he knew that the most important thing when using a flying dagger was to hit the target. The further the distance, the more difficult it would be. Therefore, he had to start practicing from a close distance.
The best shooting range of the One-Line Flying Dagger was within one mile. Within one mile, any Martian Realm martial artist would be able to unleash its power. As long as he could train his flying dagger to the point where he could hit his target with his greatest strength, he would be considered to have completed the first level of cultivation.
With his talent, it was not difficult for him to cultivate the first stage.
For the next three days, he had the opportunity to practice throwing knives in the woods outside the city. On the first day, he could only hit the target that could not move. On the second day, he could hit the falling leaves. On the third day, he let Chi Yan practice with him.
After three days, he could basically hit any slow moving target within one mile.
"With my current accuracy, I have almost reached the standard of a One-Line Flying Dagger. Now it's time to see the actual combat."
He picked up the flying dagger on the ground and returned to the city. As soon as he arrived at the inn, Xiao He brought an invitation to him.
"He Yunfeng's birthday banquet?"
Zhou Yang frowned as he looked at the invitation in his hand.
"Yes, Young Master. This was sent by someone from the City Lord Residence." Xiao He nodded.
"Why did he invite me …"
He and He Yunfeng could be said to be incompatible like fire and water. This invitation was obviously a little strange.
He had originally planned to go to the front battlefield after today. On one hand, he could complete the assessment with military merits. On the other hand, he could train his One-Line Flying Dagger in actual combat. However, this invitation made him hesitate.
"I'll see what you're up to."
Whether it was a blessing or a curse, he could not avoid it. He knew that He Yunfeng was up to no good. Today, he chose not to attend and avoid He Yunfeng. However, He Yunfeng would still find trouble with him.
Night fell quietly.
On the dark street, Zhou Yang put on his cloak and wolf mask and arrived at the Star Brilliance House branch.
In order to not cause any unnecessary trouble, he purposely held back for three days before submitting his mission. However, he did not expect that the tavern would still be full. Everyone stood up the moment he arrived. The place was extremely silent.
Zhou Yang took a deep breath. Ignoring everyone's gaze, he walked straight to the place to submit his mission.
"Mr … Mr Liu Xing."
"This is Zhao Si's severed head."
Zhou Yang opened the package. Instantly, a pungent smell filled the air. The servant girl was also very well-mannered. She did not mind at all. After flipping it over with a metal rod, she smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr Liu Xing. This is your reward."
"Thank you." Zhou Yang accepted the gold note. Then, he looked at the bounty list above. His gaze stopped on Zhao Si's name that had already been crossed off.
"Mr Liu Xing, are you going to accept the Blood Disciple's bounty?" the servant girl asked.
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "That's right."
As soon as he said this, the tavern instantly became lively. Everyone seemed to be waiting for Zhou Yang to say this.
"As I expected, he accepted the Blood Disciple's bounty."
"Looks like the Blood Disciple won't be able to escape this time."
"This Liu Xing is known as the Bloodthirst Group's reaper."
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Zhou Yang had already accepted the mission and was preparing to leave.
"Brother Liu Xing."
At this moment, the assassin that he drank with previously called out to him.
"Friend, what's the matter?" Zhou Yang asked curiously.
"You don't know that the malicious spirit is dead?" the person said in a low voice.
"Dead?" Zhou Yang pretended to be surprised.
"Yes, the malicious spirit was found dead yesterday. His corpse had already turned into ashes. Looks like the Fatal Flying Dagger has changed owners."
"I wonder who could actually kill a malicious spirit with a Demonic Star Soul …"
As the few of them chatted, they began to make wild guesses. Zhou Yang took the opportunity to leave the tavern.
After returning to the tavern, he brought Xiao He to the mayor's residence. Tonight was He Yunfeng's birthday banquet.
Under the night sky, the mayor's residence was brightly lit. The front and back courtyards, as well as the meeting hall, were filled with people. Most of them were young men and women dressed in luxurious clothes or gorgeous long skirts.
Zhou Yang took a look at the city lord's residence. Almost all the rising stars were present. Even Tang Yuewu was among them. As the main character of the night, He Yunfeng was naturally the moon surrounded by the stars. Beside him stood a large group of young talents.
"In Border City, if you want to talk about talent, talent, and background, then there's only Young Master He."
"That's right. Young Master He is born in a prestigious family and has peerless talent. In the future, he will definitely be the brightest star of our Draconic Country."
A few of the rising stars of Border City toasted while praising him.
"The brightest should be Liu Xing."
