Chapter 12: A Trip to the Slaughter City
Although his Soul power had not improved much, the Guigu Breathing Technique had made his training speed improve dramatically, at least an increase of about 50%. And he could vaguely feel that the meridians in his body were much more transparent and wider. Once all the 8 extraordinary meridians were opened, the speed of cultivation would only become faster and faster in the future. Even the Soul power would undergo a qualitative change. He believed he would be able to reach level 55 within 2 months.
It became more and more difficult to improve Soul power as time went by. At the Soul King stage, if an ordinary Soul Master could upgrade two levels a year, he was already a genius, and level three was even rarer. And Qin Xuan broke through level 54 a month ago. That is to say, he would be able to increase his Soul power level by at least four levels in the next year.
Coupled with the vertical and horizontal swordsmanship, Qin Xuan was confident that in the closed world of the Slaughter City, where Soul skills could not be used, he could handle even a Contra with ease. After all, the power of a Hundred-step Flying Sword and its ability to travel in all directions was not just fake talk. It was a sure-kill sword in Guigu's vertical and horizontal swordsmanship.
In terms of expressive power, it may not be as good as those powerful 10,000-year or even 100,000-year Soul skills in the Douluo Continent. But don't forget, the Soul skills performed in the Douluo Continent are all based on the use of Martial Souls. And the metal weapons used by Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, even if they are famous swords, can be called rare sharp weapons in the Qin's Moon world, but they are still far behind those powerful weapons with Soul Rings attached to them in the Douluo Continent.
If you could use the Everbright Sword to perform the Hundred-step Flying Sword and a combined attack across all directions, combining vertical and horizontal swordsmanship, the power would be no less than the eighth or even ninth Soul skills of those Titled Douluo, excluding the huge difference in Soul power.
Having obtained the vertical and horizontal swordsmanship and the Guigu Breathing Technique, Qin Xuan was in a good mood and opened the third blind box.
"This is…" Qin Xuan's breathing suddenly accelerated. If the second blind box gave him enough confidence to win a hundred consecutive victories in the Slaughter City, then the third blind box gave him blind confidence.
It was a huge chrysanthemum. The chrysanthemum was purple, with fluffy petals and no fragrance. The stamen in the center was half a foot higher than the petals. It looked seamless and natural.
Qin Xuan recognized the origin of this chrysanthemum at a glance—a neutral fairy herb, a strange and Velvet-toothed Chrysanthemum. The energy from the food could move the limbs, the blood could open the 8 meridians, strengthen the body, and enhance the Soul. It also strengthened the foundation and nourished vitality without any side effects.
Perhaps this was not the most suitable fairy herb for Qin Xuan, but it was what he needed most at the moment. It was truly too dangerous in the Slaughter City. In addition to getting a hundred consecutive wins, he also needed to go through the Path of Hell.
During this period, he would need to fight against strong men of Contra level. On the Path of Hell, he needed to make sure to kill the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Snake. That inner elixir was really too important to him. To some extent, it was about his upper limit.
In short, the more strength he had, the more likely he would be able to succeed. Resisting the urge to swallow and absorb, Qin Xuan looked around, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, found an exquisite jade box to hold the fairy herb, put it into his waist storage Soul Tool, then opened the door and window, and walked out of the room.
Although absorbing the herb was a top priority, there was a risk of exposure. Once he met a Titled Douluo, his Soul power level would inevitably be revealed, and he would not be able to explain the origin of the fairy herb at all.
Before that, it was better to buy the two life-saving items, [Phoenix Fire] and [Thousand People and Thousand Faces]. Then, he would draw a prize. By the way, he should also go to his two 'cheap' teachers to have some fun. Maybe he could get a piece of a Soul Bone? It didn't matter even if the age was lower; the only thing was to improve his strength. Anyway, the big carousel could draw the Soul Bone replacement scroll, and he wasn't afraid that he couldn't draw one or two in his life.
So he opened the mall and selected products with emotional values below 50,000. He selected [Phoenix Fire], which had Soul power and could protect against swords, guns, and miasma, and had an emotional value of 50,000. And the [Thousand People and Thousand Faces], which could change the appearance and breath, had an emotional value of 10,000. Then, he clicked 'buy' without any hesitation.
Red and white light flashed one after another in the room, and a bright red dress and a white mask appeared out of nowhere. The air in the Slaughter City was filled with trace amounts of toxins emitted by Bloody Mary, and the Path of Hell was a gathering place for toxins. This was also the reason why Hu Liena in the original work was still affected by the Path of Hell after Tang San removed the Bloody Mary poison for her, and her murderous intent was out of control, and she almost became a degenerate. Poisonous gas was also a type of miasma. With this [Phoenix Fire] that could prevent miasma, his safety in the Slaughter City would undoubtedly be greatly guaranteed. And [Thousand People and Thousand Faces] could better help him hide his identity, to prevent Qian Xunji from playing dirty tricks. But what he really needed to rely on was his own strength.
"The style is not bad." Qin Xuan put away the Phoenix Fire and Thousand People and Thousand Faces and turned on the big turntable. The above showed that there was one chance to draw, and each time it consumed one thousand emotional points. On the big carousel, there were all kinds of strange items, ranging from daily necessities to large fairy herbs, Soul Bones, Soul Ring age supplement cards, Soul Bone replacement cards, etc. Even Qin Xuan, who had read countless articles, couldn't see anything interesting. Qin Xuan clicked 'extract.' A flash of white light suddenly flashed, appearing out of nothing, and landed in front of him. He reached out with his right hand and found a milky-white elixir the size of a dragon's eye in his palm.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining [Immortality Pill]]
"Can I get this thing too?" Qin Xuan was a little surprised. At the same time, he was ecstatic. The Immortality Pill, as the name suggests, could keep him young forever and keep his appearance ageless.
With this thing, when he absorbed the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Snake's inner elixir in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about his appearance changing and becoming worse. Furthermore, his becoming strong was only a matter of time, and whether he was handsome or not was a matter of a lifetime. Qin Xuan comforted himself with this thought.
Qin Xuan walked to the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. In terms of appearance, he had nothing to complain about. His height was close to 1.9 meters. With long hair like a waterfall, dark eyebrows, thin lips, regular facial features, and fair skin, he had a good face. In addition, his body was slim, and his legs were long. Maybe he wasn't a first-class handsome man, but he was good-looking and durable.
The outline of half of his face seemed to have been polished by a mountain spring. Although Soul Masters don't age easily, who doesn't want to keep their appearance at its most handsome? His Martial Soul also contained Suzaku, who knows if he would become a 'lady-killer' like Ma Hongjun after taking the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Snake's inner elixir!
Without much hesitation, Qin Xuan flicked his finger and put the Immortality Pill into his mouth, and it melted instantly. He didn't feel anything abnormal; he just felt a warm current flowing through his body, flowing to his limbs and veins, and his whole body shivered. But it soon returned to normal.
"Am I already eternally young?" Qin Xuan stroked his face narcissistically, smiled, walked out of the room, and rushed to the Elder Hall.
