Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 262 - 166: Demon Saber Sword Gang! Sunflower Manual Advanced Again! (Part 2)

Chapter 262: Chapter 166: Demon Saber Sword Gang! Sunflower Manual Advanced Again! (Part 2)

If someone were watching from afar, they would see the canopy of green trees in this forest slowly diminishing.

Grayish dust, like a heavy veil, draped over the forest.

When Su Que wielded the Demon Saber, his consciousness became increasingly clear, and his spirit grew ever stronger.

This was due to the reversal of the side effects of demonic nature eroding one’s mind and leading one astray.

The more Su Que wielded the Demon Saber, the more exhilarated he felt, and the smoother his techniques became.

Before long, more than half of the trees in the forest had fallen.

Sword Gangs intertwined in the air, as if forming a large web.

Swish, swish, swish...!

Su Que swung blade after blade, the demonic qi within him growing stronger, and the Sword Gang becoming more powerful.

"Ha!"

Su Que felt immensely exhilarated and couldn’t help but let out a shout.

He exerted his foot and leapt into the air, then slashed fiercely at the void below!

Boom!

The blade fell, and the Sword Gang exploded in the air, making a loud sound.

At the same time, the Flying Snow Bright Silver Saber in his hand suddenly shattered!

The blade fragments, still carrying True Qi, glowed with a silver light and scattered like falling snow in all directions, piercing into the fallen wood and soil, stirring up splinters and dust.

Su Que descended from the air, holding the remnant saber.

He looked down.

Only the handle of the Flying Snow Bright Silver Saber and a small piece of the blade remained.

’The Demon Saber is too powerful; this saber cannot withstand the power of the Demon Saber.’

Su Que pondered.

Then he thought to himself.

This wasn’t surprising; the Flying Snow Bright Silver Saber wasn’t exactly a famous blade.

It was merely crafted by a blacksmith shop in a slightly larger city.

He couldn’t help but recall the Central Plains noble family scion he had killed before.

The sword in that noble’s hand must have been forged with rare metals; if used to forge a saber, the quality would surely be better.

However, having killed that noble family scion, if he didn’t return for a long time, the family would surely search for him.

If they couldn’t find him after a while, the family would assume that he was dead.

Using the sword’s metal to forge weapons might soon lead the family to discover him.

Thus deeming him the culprit in the slaying of their member.

The family is one of the most powerful forces in the Central Plains and is closely linked to the Court.

Su Que reckoned he still lacked the strength to confront such a family alone.

’But with plans to enter the Central Plains soon, I should be able to find a suitable weapon there.’

Before finding a suitable saber, he could only temporarily use his palm as a saber.

’Then practice the Palm Saber.’

Su Que tossed aside the remnant saber and immediately formed his palm into a saber, continuing to wield the Demon Saber.

While Su Que was pondering, the dust in the forest gradually settled.

With the Demon Saber rising once more, Sword Gangs formed again in the forest, stirring up the dust on the forest floor once more.

Su Que wielded the Demon Saber with all his might, demonic qi surging around him.

He moved with strange steps, like a spindle, maneuvering swiftly within the forest.

His right hand, wielded as a saber, sent Sword Gangs breaking through the air!

The fallen trunks were sliced into multiple segments by the Sword Gangs.

After severing the trunks, the Sword Gangs left a deep and large saber mark on the ground.

Demon Saber (5th Realm Refining Skill 25%)

After training for over an hour, Su Que’s progress in cultivating the Demon Saber increased by 9%.

If he continued to practice daily, he could quickly advance further with the Demon Saber.

Of course, if there were opportunities to boost demonic qi, the Demon Saber’s cultivation progress would surely be faster.

’Continue to cultivate!’

Su Que maneuvered again, attempting to use both hands as blades, practicing the Demon Blade Technique.

Until he reached 5th Realm Refining Skill 27% with the Demon Saber, Su Que finally withdrew the technique.

He glanced around.

He saw the forest had almost turned into an open field, with most trees having been cut down and segmented.

’If the woodcutter comes to chop wood tomorrow, they will save some effort.’

Su Que thought to himself, and then exerted his foot, his form swift as lightning, leaving the area.

...

In the following ten days, Su Que and their convoy continued to travel toward the Central Plains.

They traveled during the day and rested at night.

Su Que practiced Inner Strength in the daytime and trained in fist, foot, saber, and other martial arts at night.

It could be said that as long as he was awake, he was training, making his days quite fulfilling.

On the road, they encountered three groups of bandits. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

However, they were mere thieves, and before Su Que could act, more than twenty martial artists from the Heaven-Breaking Army had already wiped them out.

Five days ago, they had already entered the Central Plains.

Then they headed directly to the place where they planned to procure medicinal materials.

They needed to buy medicine in three places, these three places spanned across two prefectures, and if connected, they formed an arc.

After buying the medicinal materials, they would turn south, heading towards the Southern Domain.

Su Que sat inside the carriage, listening to the martial artists outside chatting, knowing that in a day, they would reach the first place to procure medicinal materials.

At this moment, Su Que was sitting cross-legged in the carriage, cultivating the Sunflower Manual.

The Sunflower Manual, this martial art, could increase his speed in striking and maneuvering, as well as the explosiveness of his techniques.

Apart from this, because he had long not castrated himself, the heat rising in his dantian during the practice of the Sunflower Manual was becoming increasingly intense.

If it were another martial artist of the same realm, and this heat arose in their dantian, it would definitely lead to Qigong Deviation, severely damaging their body.

But Su Que could reverse the side effects of the cultivation technique, this kind of heat could strengthen his physique, thereby increasing his lifespan.

Su Que sat cross-legged in the carriage, posing in a strange and slightly enchanting posture, in accordance with the method recorded in the Sunflower Manual, practicing breathing and Qi circulation.

The heat rising in his dantian was nourishing his body.

Sunflower Manual (7th Realm of Divine Transformation 98%)

Because he obtained the blood from Master Li Xuanji, his Talent Value increased, and the cultivation speed of the Sunflower Manual also sped up.

In the past ten days, he often took time to cultivate the Sunflower Manual, almost reaching the next realm with it.

Unfortunately, the elixirs refined by Elder Qingxuan for him had been entirely consumed three days ago.

As a result, his cultivation speed had declined compared to before taking the medicine.

Otherwise, he estimated he could have broken through to the next realm with the Sunflower Manual two days ago.

Unnoticed, a day passed, the convoy had breakfast in the morning, left a city, embarked on a small path, heading toward a manor.

About two hours later, outside the carriage, Xiao Chen said to Su Que, "Sir, we have arrived at the first location to purchase medicine. Do you have any instructions?"

Subsequently, a faint voice from Su Que came from within the carriage, "Just proceed to the three places to buy medicine, and then return as usual. No need to ask me again."

"Yes." Xiao Chen responded, and with several martial artists, entered the manor.

After being slightly distracted, Su Que collected his Heart Spirit and continued cultivating the Sunflower Manual.

The heat generated from not being castrated circulated within his body.

The True Qi produced from operating the Sunflower Manual traveled back and forth between his kidneys and heart.

’Almost breaking through!’

A sudden feeling arose in Su Que’s heart, that the power within his body was about to explode.

Today, when they departed from the inn, his Sunflower Manual had already reached 99% of the 7th Realm of Divine Transformation.

Training for such a long time, it was about time to break through.

A few breaths later, two streams of True Qi burst out from Su Que’s heart, resembling flood dragons entering the sea, traveling toward his kidneys.

In an instant, he felt his body become lighter.

Sunflower Manual (8th Realm Peak of Perfection 1%)

He glanced at his attributes, confirming that the Sunflower Manual had indeed broken through to the next realm.

Moreover, he felt the heat within his body becoming even more intense.

This was one of the reasons he kept cultivating the Sunflower Manual.

Now, his physique was robust, and even without a Golden Finger, there were few side effects from any cultivation technique that could harm him.

But because he had not been castrated, with each realm advancement of the Sunflower Manual, the heat during cultivation became more intense.

As a result, every time he cultivated the Sunflower Manual, he could strengthen his physique and extend his lifespan.

After the breakthrough, Su Que drank some water and rested for a moment.

In the carriage, he heard carts come and go at the entrance of the manor.

And every time a cart passed his carriage, he could smell a faint scent of medicine.

He presumed that the medicinal materials were probably wrapped in multiple layers of paper and sealed in wooden boxes.

But because of his keen sense of smell, he could still detect the scent of medicine.

’It seems that many people buy medicine at this manor. Could it be that no one else has been robbed?’

Pondering this, Su Que slightly opened the carriage curtain and looked outside.

He saw that the coachmen sitting on the carts going in and out of the manor, as well as those escorting the carts, all wore clothes of the same style.

They were likely either from the same sect or the same noble family.

’Could it be that the forces robbing medicinal materials spare those from sects and noble families, specifically targeting wanderers like us?’ Su Que contemplated.
