Chapter 299: Fellow Daoist, What Are You Watching From the Side?
“You’re right, Chen Miaomiao found an extra section in the All Beings Technique incantation.”
A few days later, the System replied to Song Jiulai with this message.
Song Jiulai was stunned: “Really?”
The All Beings Technique cultivation method was quite heaven-defying, and its primary focus wasn’t offense.
It was more like healing.
Spirit herbs that couldn’t be kept alive before could quickly recover when using the All Beings Technique.
Since it was an ancient cultivation technique, its effects surely couldn’t be that simple.
Even the Tai Xue Sect’s cultivation technique was researched from fragments of the All Beings Technique, so the All Beings Technique must have even more remarkable effects.
Chen Miaomiao’s experiments with spirit herbs were currently quite limited.
More of its uses were still under research.
“Yes, she might not have noticed it herself. I pointed it out, and after a few days of confirmation, she found that the All Beings Technique indeed has an extra section of incantation.”
That’s incredible.
The Moonlight Sword Art has an extra section of incantation, and the All Beings Technique does too.
Then what exactly is this extra part?
Recalling the few patterns that dispersed when she used it, Song Jiulai suddenly had a guess: “If several cultivation techniques have this, could the incantations of these five cultivation techniques combined form a new cultivation technique?”
She pinched her chin and quickly refuted herself: “No, it’s also possible… it’s a formation.”
After all, only formations are more likely to manifest patterns.
System: “This isn’t in my database.”
Song Jiulai: “Nonsense, I didn’t expect anything from you. If you knew, wouldn’t you have said so earlier? But an incantation that can combine five ancient cultivation techniques, what kind of powerful thing would that be?”
System: “Then isn’t this simple? Have the players cultivating them speed up their progress, and once they combine them, they can compare the incantations to find out what it is.”
These scattered cultivation techniques would surely react if combined.
It’s just that the players at this stage are all just starting, and their proficiency isn’t very high.
Even Chen Miaomiao spent several days to confirm the dissipation of an extra section of spiritual energy.
Other players haven’t even shown this trace, indicating they haven’t practiced to that extent yet.
Song Jiulai nodded: “That’s true.”
System: “Is the person who was tracking you still there?”
Song Jiulai glanced around: “I haven’t really felt it these past two days.”
But she couldn’t let her guard down.
What if the other party discovered that she had already found them?
With no activity for a while, Song Jiulai felt that this place wasn’t very safe.
However, the spirit materials required by the Guanhai Sect this month hadn’t been collected yet.
As she was thinking this, she passed by a canyon.
And clear spiritual energy fluctuations were emanating from within this canyon.
It was evident that someone was engaged in a battle.
Releasing her spiritual sense slightly, she discovered that within the canyon were several cultivators.
They were unleashing various cultivation techniques against each other, and the battle was fierce.
And at the center of their battle was a rift within the canyon.
A Tier 3 Sky Sound Grass was emitting a lustrous glow.
Song Jiulai’s eyes widened.
A Tier 3 Sky Sound Grass!
This was the main spirit material for refining the Sky Sound Pill.
And the Sky Sound Pill was an excellent pill that could help cultivators at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage break through to the Golden Core Stage.
Some people would still fail even when attempting to form a Golden Core, but the Sky Sound Pill guaranteed the success rate.
Therefore, this pill was very expensive and had no market.
Although the success rate for refining with a Tier 3 Sky Sound Grass, compared to the required Tier 4 Sky Sound Grass, had dropped, there was still a chance.
And—
Song Jiulai looked closely and saw that the Tier 3 Sky Sound Grass actually had Dragon Breath Spirit!
Holy crap.
That was truly a top-grade item.
No wonder the cultivators in front were about to have their brains bashed out.
The cultivators fighting were all at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and one of them was even at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
But because he was entangled by the other three at the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage, even though he was at the later stage, he couldn’t gain much advantage.
Everyone wanted to snatch that Sky Sound Grass.
“You are truly shameless! This Sky Sound Grass was discovered by us first!”
A cultivator was the first to shout angrily, and the Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator sneered: “I’ve been in the Yunzhou Continent for so long, and I’ve never heard of any rule that wild spirit herbs belong to whoever discovers them first!”
That was true.
Because there was indeed no such rule in the Yunzhou Continent.
As long as it wasn’t private property, the concept of first come, first served didn’t exist; whoever snatched it, owned it.
After all, these were all things that improved one’s cultivation, so who would be polite to you?
Some private property could even be snatched, let alone public resources!
If you can’t snatch it, it just means you’re not capable.
Song Jiulai observed from the shadows.
After all, this Tier 3 Sky Sound Grass, such a good item, if she couldn’t get her hands on it, she would feel extremely restless.
Even if she didn’t need the Sky Sound Pill herself, this spirit material was so expensive, and it even contained Dragon Breath Spirit.
Most importantly, Chen Miaomiao could research these now.
And among these people, there was a female cultivator wearing a felt hat standing to the side.
Unlike these people, she was only at the Late Qi Condensation Stage.
If she joined the battle, she would only be cannon fodder.
The cultivators fighting didn’t bother her.
Song Jiulai carefully concealed her aura, glanced at her first, then observed the battle, and moved closer.
The entire battle consisted of three Mid Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators fighting a Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator. Even though the latter was one minor stage higher, he was slightly struggling against the combined attack of the three.
They had all taken out their magic treasures. Song Jiulai estimated that with her current strength, dealing with these people wouldn’t be a problem.
That was, assuming their displayed combat power was indeed as it appeared.
“Seeking death!”
The Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was quickly angered by the encirclement from the three in front. The three Mid Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators cooperated very tacitly, and he was temporarily unable to resist, on the verge of disaster.
After a loud roar, countless secret patterns suddenly appeared on his face, and then, something extremely terrifying emerged.
The back of his head split open, and three skull heads, dripping with blood, emerged from within.
His body also enlarged several times proportionally, and an incredibly fearsome Yin Sha Qi erupted from his body.
Not only were the three Mid Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators facing him stunned, but Song Jiulai also exclaimed: “What the hell is this thing?”
She was considered well-traveled now, but she had never seen this cultivation technique before!
It didn’t seem like a cultivation technique, but rather something evil.
“You…”
One of the Mid Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators showed a terrified expression: “Evil Spirit Technique, you actually—”
The Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, whose appearance had completely changed, grinned and said: “Since you’ve discovered it, none of you will leave today! I will become a Golden Core, and then devour the three of you, and it will be within reach!”
The next second, the blood-dripping skull heads, carrying immense Yin Sha Qi, charged directly at the foreheads of the three Mid Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
They were instantly enveloped.
Song Jiulai instinctively felt that the situation was not good and planned to slip away and return later.
However, before she could escape, one of the bloody skull heads suddenly turned and headed directly towards Song Jiulai.
And its speed was beyond imagination.
A sinister, ghostly voice rang out.
“Fellow Daoist, what are you watching from the side?”
I wrote several thousand words yesterday, but then I found a bug in the plot and settings I had planned, so I had to rewrite it. The plot I had thought of had to be reconnected, which caused me to get stuck. Today’s update will catch up, and the updates for the previous two days, 11 and 12, will be made up as soon as possible in later chapters. The standard now is three updates per day.
