'Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill: Level Four. Special Effect (s): Accelerated Qi Return, Accelerated Healing, Balanced Yin and Yang. '
'I've pursued power too much …' Lu Sheng was silent for a moment. He clenched his fists. 'If I'd upgraded Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill at the same time as I did at the beginning, my healing and poison resistance wouldn't have been as meager as it is now. And I wouldn't have fallen to this state of being heavily injured, poisoned, and damaged meridians.'
"Proceed with martial arts extrapolation?" The Modifier's dialog box asked.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath and composed himself.
"Yes," he answered affirmatively.
…
The pale yellow lantern swayed in the wind.
Xiao Hongye stood in the courtyard, looking up at the full moon in the night sky.
"Still not back?" he asked in a low voice.
"Elder Black has already set off to look for him. I believe he'll have news soon," Taoist Bai Feng said with a frown. "He's been gone for so long and there's still no news of the four Emissaries. Even the Lord Officiator has gone after him. Since when did the Northern Lands become so dangerous? "
Bai Feng shook his head. "What if there's no news of Elder Black as well?" He looked at Xiao Hongye.
"I'll report it as it is," Xiao Hongye sighed.
"A Officiator, a top-notch expert, and four Emissaries are missing. This must be a huge blow to Ashoka Manor," Bai Feng said in a low voice.
Xiao Hongye did not speak. Actually, given their informants and intelligence, they had quickly discovered the loud noises and signs of battle in Windless Valley. Apart from the likes of the Officiator and the four Emissaries, no one else could have caused such a terrible battle.
They had set off to annihilate Martial League, but unexpectedly, all of them had gone missing. Martial League was also Ashoka Manor's sworn enemy. One could not help but speculate.
"Perhaps Martial League's League Master personally took action. But it's still too early to say," Xiao Hongye shook his head slightly.
"If something really happens this time, the location of the Ritual Offering will have to be changed. The Northern Lands are too unstable," Bai Feng said in a low voice.
"Yeah …" Xiao Hongye said no more.
"Scarlet Dragon Tribulation. Zhen Family has left and Scarlet District has gone into seclusion. Apart from Martial League, there's really no other force that can delay the Officiator," Bai Feng continued.
Bang!!
As the two of them spoke, the courtyard door was suddenly smashed open. That hunchbacked, one-eyed old man dressed in black stared coldly at Xiao Hongye in the courtyard.
He threw a sackcloth bag on his shoulder to the ground. Blood seeped out of the bag. "Inform the Manor that the four Emissaries of the Four Regions have perished, and the Lord Officiator has gone missing. It's extremely likely that he died in battle. Requesting backup!! "
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Xiao Hongye and Bai Feng were both stunned. Seeing Elder Hei walk out, Xiao Hongye hurriedly asked. "Elder Black, where are you going!?"
"Find the real culprit and avenge Master!" Elder Black paused in his steps and suddenly turned around to stare at Xiao Hongye.
"Are you very happy? Without a master to usurp your authority, the Northern Lands will once again be your territory! "
Xiao Hongye's expression changed slightly.
"Elder Black, what are you talking about? If I really cared about these things, I could have completely disobeyed Lord Officiator's arrangements! If I hadn't relinquished my authority, even Lord Officiator wouldn't have been able to say anything! "
"You sound nice, but who knows what you're thinking in your heart?" Elder Black laughed coldly. "Perhaps you were the one who secretly informed Martial League that Master was ambushed this time!!"
"Elder Black!" Xiao Hongye's expression changed completely. He shouted sternly, "Some things can't be said carelessly!!"
"You know what the truth is. Don't let me find out that you were the one who did it in secret. Otherwise … "A red glint flashed in Elder Black's eyes. He turned and dashed forward, disappearing out of the door in the blink of an eye.
Taoist Bai Feng stepped forward and used the long sword he carried to gently cut open the sackcloth bag. Immediately, some bird limbs and other flesh and bones rolled out.
"This is …!?" Bai Feng did not recognize it for a moment.
However, when Xiao Hongye saw some clothes and accessories mixed among the corpses, he finally took a deep breath with an ugly expression.
"These are the corpses of Emissaries Bai Jing and Quan Huan! I saw their commonly used jade pendants in there. "
The moment he said that, Bai Feng's expression changed as well.
Previously, both of them had only been guessing. But when they really saw such horrifying corpses, their hearts trembled.
'This can't be the handiwork of Martial League's League Master …' This thought flashed across Xiao Hongye's mind. Martial League's League Master was a merciful person. Even if he had really killed the four Emissaries, he would not have used such cruel methods.
Bai Feng exchanged a look with him. A trace of shock flashed across their hearts at the same time.
This Northern Lands was getting more and more chaotic and mysterious …
"Report!"
Outside the courtyard, a muscular man dressed in a purple military uniform rushed to the scene. Kneeling on one knee, he handed a letter sealed with wax to Bai Feng with both hands.
"Urgent letter from the Intelligence Department!"
Bai Feng received it and opened it. After a few glances, his expression turned solemn.
"Looks like Sect Master Lu was also injured in this operation. If we want to know the truth, we'll surely get something from him."
He closed the letter and looked at Xiao Hongye.
"This Sect Master Lu must be one of the insiders. I've received intelligence that he went out with his men at night to the Windless Valley at the foot of the Eastern Mountain. That's the place the Officiator mentioned to annihilate Martial League. "
"Looks like this Sect Master Lu isn't as simple as he seems," Xiao Hongye said calmly.
…
Inside the secret chamber.
Lu Sheng's eyes were tightly shut, his mind fixed on the modification pane for Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill.
'I have enough Yin Qi. I'll do my best to upgrade Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill before anything else. Any random pawn can finish me off now. It's too unsafe.'
His mind landed on the modification button for Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill and he quickly pressed it.
"Hoo …"
The words for Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill blurred rapidly. The entire pane blurred as well.
This miraculous skill, produced from the amalgamation of several life-force skills, trembled slightly within Lu Sheng's body and suddenly began to circulate at high speed.
This circulation instantly made Lu Sheng realize something strange. The inner Qi route of Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill vaguely resembled the Aquarius Qi he had just acquired.
'Could it be that I'm going to absorb the merits of Aquarius Qi to further perfect it?' Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat as he felt the Yin Qi draining continuously.
Very quickly, after a few breaths, Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill became clear once more.
'Unknown skill: Level Five. Special Effect: Poison Resistance, Accelerated Qi Return, Accelerated Healing, Yin and Yang Balance. Qi Transfer. '
'Hmm? What kind of special effect is Qi Transfer? ' Lu Sheng stared blankly for a moment. Then, he quickly recalled the records of Qi Transfer in the mobile game he had played previously.
'I remember in that mobile game, Qi Transfer refers to the ability to conduct inner Qi into other people's bodies. Then could it be that this combined life-force skill, Qi Transfer, refers to healing other people's wounds? '
Sitting cross-legged, he slightly circulated the Jade Crane Skill inner Qi within his body that had once again become massive and thick. This wave of cool and gentle inner Qi was much gentler than before. When it flowed to his wounds, he could clearly feel a numbing and itchy sensation.
But good things don't last. The newly upgraded and restored Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill inner Qi was quickly depleted by the wounds within his body. The remaining inner Qi was immediately sent to his wounds as soon as it was produced.
'Again!' Lu Sheng sensed that he had only expended five to six units of Yin Qi this time. He immediately looked at the modification button for Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill.
"Pa."
He pressed his mind on it once more.
Immediately, the respective spots for Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill blurred once more.
This time, about ten breaths passed. Only then did they regain their clarity.
'Unknown Skill: Level Six. Special Effect: Rapid Qi Replenishment, Enhanced Poison Resistance, High-Speed Self-Healing, Yin and Yang Suppression, Qi Transfer. '
This time, Lu Sheng immediately sensed a fundamental difference in the skill he had derived after upgrading it.
He had just completed the derivation when a large amount of Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill inner Qi rapidly gathered in the middle of his chest and abdomen, forming a ball of Qi the size of a goose's egg, slowly rotating.
What made Lu Sheng most certain was that the burning sensation in his wounds was rapidly disappearing. That meant that the Red Phosphorous Fire Poison left behind by the Officiator was rapidly being expelled from his body.
In this derivation, Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill had obviously absorbed the advantages of Aquarius Qi. At the same time, it had strengthened its own effects.
He felt his entire body cool and the pain was largely gone. Lu Sheng looked at the column for Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill.
'It shouldn't just be called Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill now. After absorbing the advantages of Aquarius Qi, hmm … from now on, I'll call it …'
'Yin-Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi!'
Lu Sheng's heart settled. Immediately, the words' Yin-Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi 'appeared slowly in the column.
He felt the cooling, numbing, and itchy sensation on his body. He gently untied the bandage and looked at the wound on his thigh. The purplish-red poison on the surface of the wound had actually faded by more than half.
Just a moment ago, the wound had been contaminated by the Red Phosphorous Fire Poison. Now, there was only a little remnant poison left.
'Impressive!' Lu Sheng exclaimed in his heart.
Although this Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi was not a Yang-type inner force skill and had no effect on ghosts and Anomalies, whether it was the piercing Qi or the various special effects in treating and expelling poisons, this inner force skill was the most complete and powerful healing inner force skill.
'Perhaps this Qi Transfer is to heal others. I can find someone to try it out on.' Lu Sheng made a rough estimation. 'If I can keep recovering at this speed, the wound should be completely healed in about two months.'
A huge weight was finally lifted off his shoulders.
If he could not recover from this injury quickly, the threat and danger he would have to face in his position would have been unimaginable.
Fortunately, there was hope for a speedy recovery now.
'I wonder if it can be done faster!' Lu Sheng recalled the terrifying regenerative powers of the Bind realm. He continued looking at Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi expectantly.
He had a bountiful harvest this time. He had obtained more than fifty units of Yin Qi. He had upgraded it twice just now, but he had only used about ten units.
'Let's see if I can upgrade it by another level. Since I've absorbed the advantages of Aquarius Qi, perhaps I can achieve balancing Yang Extreme Mode as well!' Lu Sheng sat down cross-legged again. After eating something, he resumed his meditation.
While the Modifier interface was still open, he pressed the button behind Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi with his mind.
"Szzz …"
The entire Modifier shuddered violently. The frame blurred again.
Time passed slowly. Ten breaths passed. Twenty breaths passed. Thirty breaths … forty breaths! It was only after more than sixty breaths that the frame for Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi gradually became clear.
'Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi: Level Seven. Special Effect: Rapid Qi Replenishment, Enhanced Poison Resistance, High-Speed Self-Healing, Yin Yang Suppression, Qi Transfer, Assimilation. '
'Assimilation? What kind of damned special effect is this? ' Lu Sheng felt that this trip had been a waste. Apart from the nearly doubling of his total inner Qi, he did not feel anything else other than the addition of a new assimilation special effect.
But an inexplicable instinct told him that this assimilation special effect was not as simple as it seemed.
Fortunately, because his total inner Qi had doubled, the burning sensation in his body left behind by Yang Extreme Mode had dissipated rapidly. His entire body felt warm and peaceful without any discomfort.
'Forget it. I'll recuperate well from now on. I'll wait for my injuries to heal before using the remaining portion of Yin Qi to upgrade. Looks like the drawbacks of having too much Yang Qi have been alleviated by hard body skills. After that, I'll just keep upgrading Yin Yang Jade Crane Aquarius Qi. 'He decided not to think too much about it for now. Recovering from his injuries was more important. He did not believe that Ashoka Manor would remain silent after losing so many of their main forces.
Someone would surely discover his movements to the foot of Eastern Mountain at night and send someone to ask about it.
