Chapter 109: Chapter 107: Lively Cold Extremity Peak
After cleaning up, Su Qing finally began to study his Five Elements Tribulation Body.
"Five Elements Tribulation Qi."
As Su Qing let his Magical Power flow into his hands, he could feel a completely different aura and strength.
His Magical Power had grown stronger, and it now carried the power of the Thunder Tribulation.
’No wonder it’s called Five Elements Tribulation Qi.’
’Excellent. If I synthesize it one more time, the amplification will be the same as the Five Qi God Demon Body.’
’But this Five Elements Tribulation Body Cultivation Technique is really terrible. Getting struck by lightning...’
Su Qing shook his head in complete refusal at the thought. Some people might enjoy being tortured, but Su Qing was definitely not one of them.
"Five Elements Thunder Tribulation Seal, a Soul Attack Technique!"
Su Qing nodded in satisfaction.
"Sigh... I really should have refined more Life-Saving Elixirs," Su Qing sighed aloud.
[Alchemy: Tier One (3154/10000)]
’The experience requirement for Alchemy is way too high.’
A successful refinement only added one point.
’I have a Visualization Technique now. I should be able to buy a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique.’
Su Qing nodded.
After resting for a day, Su Qing decided to go out.
He was going to the Marketplace to do some treasure hunting.
[Centennial Nine-lingzhi: An herb nurtured in a Land of Spiritual Energy. Possesses a powerful life-restoring effect, primarily Yang-attribute.]
Ten thousand Spirit Stones.
Su Qing shook his head just looking at the price.
He didn’t want to buy it.
It was too expensive.
And Su Qing didn’t even know what he would use it for.
So, he wouldn’t buy it.
He was just hoping to find a bargain.
...
After making a full circuit, he hadn’t found anything good.
Su Qing left in disappointment.
He went to the Sect’s Elixir Shop.
He bought some Land Expansion Pills.
The recipe for this Elixir wasn’t for sale, so Su Qing had no choice but to buy them.
He purchased 729 pills.
It cost a total of 70,000 Spirit Stones; his status as a True Disciple got him a discount of over two thousand Spirit Stones.
The Elixirs could undergo Evolution three times.
To buy nine times that amount for the next step, Su Qing simply didn’t have enough Spirit Stones.
’Poor! Still so poor.’
However, it seemed Su Qing had nearly wiped out the Elixir Shop’s entire stock.
’The bigger the Dantian, the better.’ A Land Expansion Pill could only be consumed once per person.
Su Qing wished he could take more.
[Land Expansion Pill: Expands the Dantian by ten percent.]
’Three Evolutions... I’m not sure what will happen. I’ll see when the time comes.’
Su Qing didn’t really understand it either.
"True Disciple Su! True Disciple Su!"
Someone called out to Su Qing.
Su Qing looked ahead. The voice came from a man in front of him.
He wore the Token of an Inner Sect Disciple. His aura was steady, and he appeared to be at the Qi Cultivation High Tier.
"What is it?" Su Qing said coolly.
"It seems True Disciple Su is a straightforward person, hahaha!"
"I do have something to discuss. I was just wondering if True Disciple Su has a moment?"
"Oh, right, my name is Fang Zhangyuan. I forgot to introduce myself." The speaker was a strapping man with an infectious, somewhat simple-looking smile. He had long hair tied back, and his clothes looked rather expensive.
Su Qing had the time, but why should he give any of it to this guy?
"If you have something to say, say it. Otherwise, don’t bother me." Su Qing had no desire to get involved in such matters. In the past, when he had no background or power, he had to rely on Baili Sudan. Now, Su Qing had no intention of joining any faction Within the Sect.
Otherwise, he would be easily drawn into a web of conflicting interests, and it would be hard to protect himself then.
"I was just hoping to cooperate with True Disciple Su on a matter. What do you think?"
"Not interested. Go find someone else."
The man had made his intentions clear. Su Qing shook his head, turned to the side, and began to walk away, giving the man no time to explain further.
"Then I have disturbed you, True Disciple Su. My apologies."
After that encounter,
Su Qing was no longer in the mood to continue browsing.
Su Qing bought some Demon Beast meat and a variety of spices, then quickly left.
Back on Cold Extremity Peak,
Su Qing immediately went to find Liu Linlin, who was practicing her Swordsmanship.
"Junior Brother!" Liu Linlin looked at Su Qing with a curious expression that confused him.
Nevertheless, Su Qing asked, "Senior Sister, come over to my place tonight. I bought some Demon Beast meat and I’m going to cook something. Are you coming?"
Liu Linlin shook her head. "Junior Brother, I’d better not. You might be in for some trouble."
"Trouble? What kind of trouble?"
Su Qing was genuinely confused. What trouble could he have? ’Could it be that guy who wanted to cooperate with me just now?’
’No, that’s impossible.’
"Senior Sister, I don’t think there’ll be any trouble. If you want to come, you’re always welcome."
Su Qing left Liu Linlin’s residence.
Just as he returned to the outside of his own home,
he saw a famous face.
Bai Ranmo. His aura was chilling, and his gaze upon Su Qing was just as cold. He was tall, around 1.95 meters, with jet-black hair draped over his shoulders. His very Physique exuded a sense of pressure.
Yet, he only looked somewhat sturdily built.
’And he’s quite handsome.’
"Are you here for the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body?" The moment Su Qing recalled that this man cultivated the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body, he guessed his purpose for coming.
"That’s right," Bai Ranmo nodded.
"We’re meeting for the first time. I am Bai Ranmo, a True Disciple of Celestial Flame Master."
"And?" Su Qing asked.
"The method for Crossing the Tribulation with the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body... I heard from my master that you endured more than twenty bolts of the Thunder Tribulation. You must have a way of Crossing the Thunder Tribulation."
Bai Ranmo’s voice wasn’t as cold as his expression; it carried a hint of gentleness. If any women were present, they would have probably been captivated.
"I don’t have a method. The tribulation I crossed was different."
"I was born with a special constitution, which is why my Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body progressed so quickly."
"My method won’t work for you."
"I suggest you prepare more high-quality Elixirs. Tier Two Elixirs would be good."
Su Qing shook his head and gave his answer.
Bai Ranmo’s expression turned strange. He didn’t have a special constitution, but he did have a special Thunder Spirit Root.
"Thank you for telling me."
"If you have any more detailed information, I am willing to spend Spirit Stones to purchase what you know."
Su Qing shook his head with a smile. "There’s nothing more. I nearly died back then. What special circumstances could there be? At most, each layer of the Thunder Tribulation is stronger than the last."
"In that case, I will take my leave. Thank you for the information."
Did Bai Ranmo not know to prepare more Elixirs? His master was a Nascent Soul Master, after all.
But the Elixirs... he was afraid that by the time the Thunder Tribulation struck him, the lightning would have already destroyed more than half of their medicinal properties.
Bai Ranmo had heard that after Su Qing crossed the Thunder Tribulation, his body was charred black, and if not for a Tier Two Elixir, he would have died.
Of course, this was all just a rumor his master had told him.
’Looks like I’ll have to use Master’s method after all.’ Bai Ranmo was not one to give up easily.
Bai Ranmo could never have imagined that the Nourishing Yuan Pill Su Qing had taken was so fast-acting.
The reason Su Qing mentioned Tier Two Elixirs was because he genuinely felt they were very good.
If Su Qing synthesized his own a few more times, it would probably turn into a Resurrection Pill.
After all, the medicinal effects were so potent; if Su Qing used Evolution to synthesize it a few more times...
He estimated he could save someone as long as they still had a single breath left.
...
"Seriously. No wonder Senior Sister said I’d have trouble."
Su Qing began to butcher a Demon Beast in his yard. It was said to be a type of ox, and all of its meat was delicious.
"Brother Su Qing."
"Busy, are we? Congratulations, your Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body has reached the Entry Level," Song Zhining said as he walked over.
"Oh?" Su Qing glanced at Song Zhining, puzzled.
"Does news travel that fast? I only just crossed the Thunder Tribulation yesterday, and so many people are looking for me today," Su Qing said, continuing to work on the ox.
The knife in his hand was the exquisite Profound Iron Saber he had synthesized.
"I came to offer my congratulations. But of course, I was also wondering if you have any more of those Nourishing Yuan Pills for sale? I’d like to buy two more."
"They’re all gone. Do you think you can get that kind of Elixir just by asking?" Su Qing shook his head.
’It seems this guy really isn’t afraid of me poisoning him.’ A Top Grade Nourishing Yuan Pill could increase one’s Immortal Cultivation Talent by ten percent.
Anyone would know its effect was heaven-defying. There was no way Su Qing would sell it again.
Song Zhining was a little disappointed. "Alright then. Brother Su Qing, since you’re preparing such a large ox, how about you let me join in?"
"You... alright. Come help, and you can eat with us." Su Qing glanced quizzically at the smiling Song Zhining.
He didn’t refuse. Right at his own doorstep, there was no mischief this guy could pull off.
Might as well share this inexpensive Demon Beast with him.
