Chapter 149: Chapter 107: The True Inheritance of Luo Fu – The Guidance Technique Finally Breaks Through to lv9_2

“`

Hearing his words, a host of sword sect elders in the great hall stroked their beards and laughed heartily.

“Rest assured, we wouldn’t withhold benefits from you, young man, nor would our sect do such a thing as to cast aside the millstone after the grain has been ground!”

As if in response to the words of the elders, the Sword Sect Master at the head of the hall also nodded and said:

“Heavy Sword Peak disciple, Zhou Ping.”

“Disciple present!”

“Based on the merit you’ve achieved this time, you are now promoted to a direct disciple of Heavy Sword Peak and will enjoy the treatment of a true transmission disciple of our sect. In addition, the sect will support you fully in your foundation establishment, in the hope that you will diligently cultivate in the future.”

“Yes!”

Zhou Ping’s voice trembled slightly. To become a direct disciple of Heavy Sword Peak and receive the treatment of a true transmission disciple meant that he might have the chance to strive for the Golden Core in the future—and as long as he managed the relationship between Zhu Tian Ruins Market and the sect well, even reaching the Nascent Soul stage wasn’t impossible.

Above in the great hall, the Sword Sect Master’s gaze shifted, sweeping around the interior of the hall before speaking in a deep voice:

“This matter is to be classified as top secret by the sect. After leaving this great hall, you mustn’t mention any word related to Zhu Tian Ruins Market, otherwise, you will face the sect’s disciplinary actions!”

“Additionally, send someone covertly to the Black Sky Realm to collect Titanium Crystals. Make sure the task is carried out without attracting any attention, it must be done without anyone detecting.”

…

For a time, the Luofu Sword Sect issued countless orders that seemed unrelated but were all closely connected to Zhu Tian Ruins Market. The grand machinery of the Luofu Sword Sect began to operate silently.

Song Chi, of course, was completely unaware of this. After enhancing the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon, he withdrew the Cang Qiong from the ruins market space—it was time to return the shift to Song You at the base.

The Illusion Space, a secret base crafted by the Song Family.

Upon exiting the room, Song Chi did not go straight to the monitoring room but ran to his father’s room, only to find it empty.

Next to the base, Song Chi found his father in the warship docking area—more precisely, he found the Qingkong.

The base was too small to support the summoning of an escort ship, so Song Chao could only cultivate in this warship docking area.

Descending from the Qingkong, Song Chao looked at his son with a puzzled expression. Ordinarily, Song Chi wouldn’t come looking for him unless there was a matter of importance, and it wouldn’t be a minor one.

“What’s the matter? Has the Blood Blade Star Thieves made a big move?”

Seeing Song Chao about to rush towards the base anxiously, Song Chi quickly grabbed hold of him.

“No, it’s not that, Dad. I have something to tell you.”

As he spoke, he took out the porcelain vial and wooden box he had prepared.

“What is it?”

Song Chao took them with a look of confusion and then ran back to the Qingkong. When he emerged again, his face, originally filled with doubt, was now extremely grave.

He quickly scanned the surroundings several times, making sure there was no one else present, then rapidly pulled Song Chi into the Qingkong.

This time Song Chao did not use the Torch Warship Boarding Certificate but allowed for the deduction of 10 strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin.

“Where did you get this?”

Hearing this, Song Chi frowned, wanting to speak, yet not sure how to explain it.

Seeing his son’s troubled expression, Song Chao did not press further but instead changed his questioning approach.

“Or perhaps, is there any issue with the source of this item? Is it something developed by certain organizations within the Chenxing Principality, or did it come from somewhere else? And what is the cost?”

This time, Song Chi no longer hesitated and shook his head straightforwardly.

“I have a way to obtain it from outside. It’s not just the Chenxing Principality; I can assure you, the entire territory of Torch Human Civilization probably doesn’t have this. As for the cost, each bottle I acquire only requires three strands of Zero Rank Floating Land Origin.”

After Song Chi finished speaking, Song Chao’s expression began to undergo drastic changes.

At times grave, at times contemplative, at times joyful.

In the end, joy predominated.

Seeing this, Song Chi felt he had a rough understanding, and ventured tentatively:

“Dad, have you tried it? Is this stuff really effective for us Torch Captains?”

“`

Song Chao came back to his senses, nodded lightly, and then added solemnly, “It’s not only effective, the effect of the liquid in this porcelain bottle is comparable to an intermediate body tempering potion.”

“Do you know what that means? It means that once this thing appears on the market in large quantities, it will inevitably lead to a frenzy, and the interests behind it will drive many big consortia and large families crazy.”

After hearing this, Song Chi’s smile was extraordinarily brilliant. Of course, what he cared about was not the huge benefits behind the body tempering liquid; he had thought about this many times before and had already prepared for it in his mind. But the prerequisite for all of this was to be certain that the body tempering liquid was indeed effective for Torch warship captains.

And the positive feedback about the body tempering liquid from his father just now had completely confirmed this point, which was why the smile on Song Chi’s face was so brilliant.

However, at this moment, Song Chao’s tone shifted abruptly, becoming grave as he said:

“Son, get as much of this stuff as you can in the future. The family will pay a premium for you, but, before we successfully return to the main house, this thing must not be leaked. Remember, you must not sell it, not even in the black market.”

After that, Song Chao felt like his previous statement wasn’t enough and added another sentence immediately.

“For your grandfather, a Third Rank Torch Captain, this is far from enough—remember that!”

Hearing this, Song Chi nodded solemnly, appreciating the value of the body tempering liquid even more.

After the father and son had finished speaking, Song Chi prepared to leave the Qingkong. He had already delayed for a few minutes, and staying any longer would lead to a deduction of several strands of Second-Rank Floating Land Origin.

Before leaving, Song Chi asked two more questions.

The first was about the box of body tempering paste.

“Dad, what about that box of body tempering paste? Is it of any use to you?”

Song Chao paused for a moment, then shook his head saying, “I don’t know about that yet, we’ll have to wait for your grandfather to confirm it later. However, you can use that body tempering liquid; it will not harm a Torch warship captain’s body in any way.”

The second question was about titanium crystals.

“Dad, do you have any extra titanium crystals on you?”

This time, Song Chao did not show any strange expression, as Song Chi had already surprised him enough in recent times. Hmm… he had developed an immunity.

However, his answer was somewhat disappointing to Song Chi.

“No, I’ve used them all. I’ve consumed quite a bit here on the Qingkong to help your mother advance, and they’re all gone.”

But before Song Chi left, his father gave him a tip.

“If you urgently need it, you can ask your grandfather for some when we go back. He has quite a stock.”

Song Chi nodded and exited the Qingkong.

Twenty days later, at the Zhu Tian Ruins Market.

In the All-Attributes Cultivation Room, Song Chi applied a bottle of body tempering liquid on his skin and then quickly took up the posture for cultivating the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique, once again beginning his cultivation of the Guidance Technique.

In the past twenty days, with the aid of the body tempering liquid, there was a noticeable advancement in his level 8 Guidance Technique.

Compared to the intermediate body tempering potion, the effect of this body tempering liquid seemed to be much better.

Of course, this was just his illusion, or maybe not quite an illusion; on Song Chi’s body, the effect of the body tempering liquid indeed far surpassed the intermediate body tempering potion.

But the fact was that the effects of the two were indeed very close to each other.

The reason for this phenomenon was simple.

Over the past twenty-plus years, Song Chi had taken intermediate body tempering potions multiple times. Gradually, his body had naturally developed a resistance to them, while the body tempering liquid, as something completely new, had no such resistance—at least not yet.

It was precisely because of this that Song Chi’s cultivation of the Guidance Technique had accelerated significantly.

Suddenly, a strong wave of Spectral Energy fluctuated in the All-Attributes Cultivation Room. Song Chi, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them as a clearly visible pale red vapor emerged from his body and then spread outwards rapidly. It was an obvious fluctuation of vital energy.

Whew!

Song Chi ceased his cultivation movements and let out a long breath.

His eyes were filled with unrestrained joy.

“Finally, the Guidance Technique has broken through to level 9, it was not easy.”

Indeed, the intense vital energy fluctuation was due to his Guidance Technique successfully breaking through from level 8 to level 9, just one step away from the First Rank.
