Chapter 226: Clear Thoughts! Saber Technique Advances Again!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Han Zhao calmed down and took out a reddish-gold pill furnace from the
Sumeru Pouch.
There was a firebird pattern on the surface of the pill furnace. As the true qi in his body was injected, the firebird began to spread its wings and fly on the surface of the pill furnace like a living creature.
This was the second pill furnace that Shui Jingfeng had bought for him. It had arrived a long time later than expected, but it should be of medium-high-grade quality. It had a certain auxiliary effect on fire control and pill condensation.
He took out a set of medicinal herbs for the Blood Qi Pill and used all his strength to refine three low-grade pills, four middle-grade pills, and a high-grade pill.
“It’s too difficult to refine low-grade pills.” Han Zhao wiped the sweat on his forehead and sighed sincerely.
He took out a porcelain bottle and divided the pills in the furnace into two portions.
Three low-grade pills and one middle-grade pill were placed in porcelain bottles. They were to be handed to Yan Jing later.
Although the difficulty of refining the Blood Qi Pill was relatively simple among middle-grade pills, to be able to refine a middle-grade pill required a rather skilled alchemy technique and a certain amount of luck.
At this level, he could try to refine a difficult middle-grade medicinal pill.
After doing this, Han Zhao skillfully washed the pill furnace and began to refine the Five Elements Pill.
After more than a hundred successful experiences, he was incomparably skilled. Almost with his eyes closed, he knew when to put in the herbs and what heat to use.
Soon, a fragrance spread out from the pill furnace, and the pill was completed.
Two top-grade, five high-grade, and three middle-grade.
“It’s still difficult to produce top-grade pills. Even if it’s a high-grade alchemy technique, there are only two.” Han Zhao frowned slightly. There was still a lot of room for improvement in alchemy. He had to work harder and start refining the Dragon Blood Pill as soon as possible. Si Zhu’s familiar footsteps came from the courtyard.
“Young Master.”
“What’s the matter?” Han Zhao asked. He put away the medicinal pill and pill furnace and waved his right hand gently. His true qi stirred up a strong wind, and the rich medicinal fragrance in the room was brought out by the wind from the window.
“The three envoys from before have arrived. The Water Envoy invites you over.” Si Zhu’s voice was filled with unease.
Han Zhao opened the door and said calmly, “If you’re afraid, just stay here.”
When Si Zhu heard this, she raised her head and her expression became firm.
“With Young Master around, I’m not afraid.”
“Very good. Remember what I said.”
Han Zhao smiled. His trusted aides didn’t need to be very strong, but they definitely couldn’t show fear when something happened.
As he spoke, he walked out of the courtyard.
Si Zhu followed.
Angry Flood Dragon Palace.
When Han Zhao arrived, everyone was already there.
However, one-third of the higher-ups present were gone.
Although the Furious Flood Dragon Gang could be said to have won a complete victory with his help, many people died. They were all men who were not afraid of death.
What a pity.
Of course, after digesting the benefits of this great victory, the Furious Flood Dragon Gang would quickly recover its strength. It was not difficult for it to advance to the next level.
“I’m sorry to have kept everyone waiting.”
Han Zhao walked to the golden chair in the middle that symbolized the leader’s ident.i.ty and sat down. He naturally cupped his fists at Xue Han, He Xuan, and Gao Baijie, who were sitting on the chairs on both sides.
Seeing Han Zhao’s att.i.tude, the three of them couldn’t help but exchange glances.
“Young Sect Master, you’re too polite. We just arrived.” He Xuan cupped his fists and returned the greeting. Although he still maintained a smile like the previous few times, his att.i.tude this time was still fundamentally different. He no longer had the condescending att.i.tude from before.
To be honest, Han Zhao was a little disappointed.
He still liked these people’s unruly appearances like before.
“You’re much more confident than before, little handsome.” Xue Han chuckled. She was still teasing him, but her intention to test him was very obvious.
“Maybe,” Han Zhao said calmly.
“I heard that Young Sect Master was attacked by a mysterious person when you were heading to Flying Fish Island. You were separated from your deputy sect master and the others.” Gao Baijie narrowed his eyes.
“Yes.” Han Zhao nodded slightly.
“However, according to our observations, there was a huge battle on Flying Fish Island. The scene was burned to ashes. The whereabouts of your vice sect master are unknown. It’s very likely that he encountered something unexpected. Furthermore… Envoy Zhu of Nine Nether Mansion might have already died. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have appeared when we were conducting the Divine Weapon Sacrificial Ritual,” Gao Baijie continued.
“What do you want to say?” Han Zhao looked at him calmly.
“The stronger ones have all disappeared. Only the Young Sect Master is unharmed. No! Another one is your maidservant. She’s not even a martial artist. Don’t you think this is very unreasonable?” Gao Baijie suddenly lowered his voice.
“Are you questioning me?” Han Zhao’s expression did not change much, but his eyes became sharp.
His left hand naturally moved to the front of the sheath of the Severing Karma Saber at his waist.
It seemed that the person who could let him test his saber was found.
“So what if I am!” Gao Baijie’s aura surged. “Do you think we’ll let it go easily after an envoy dies in the Nine Nether Mansion?
Although Shangguan Lie seemed to have refined the flood dragon blood and become much stronger, he still didn’t show up in public.
Gao Baijie had received the Sect Master’s order to investigate the situation as much as possible, so he thought that Han Zhao was a good breakthrough point.
After all, no matter how strong Shangguan Lie was, it was impossible for him to offend the Longevity Sect after losing an envoy in the Nine Nether Mansion. The Furious Flood Dragon Gang might become enemies with the Nine Nether Mansion.
Unless he had something else to rely on.
As soon as Gao Baijie finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly became tense.
“Young Sect Master, actually, Sect Master Gao is just…” Seeing this, He Xuan wanted to be the peacemaker because the He family behind him also wanted to figure out the situation of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang, so he was prepared to pressure Han Zhao.
Clang!
Han Zhao raised the thumb of his left hand slightly and raised his saber. The Severing Karma Saber left the scabbard by half an inch, and a clear saber cry instantly sounded.
Everyone in the field felt a buzzing sound in their ears.
Bam!!
Gao Baijie was the first to bear the brunt. It was as if an incomparably scarlet blood light had appeared in front of him. The armchair he was sitting on was shaken by the naturally stimulated true energy and exploded with a bang.
He stood up with a pale face and looked at Han Zhao in disbelief, as well as the long saber that was slightly unsheathed at his left waist.
At that moment, it was as if a peerless treasure saber had been unsheathed and slashed him into two.
Although he saw that nothing had happened, the feeling of fantasy was too real. He even felt a faint pain in his body.
Crack!
He Xuan’s pupils constricted. His right hand subconsciously exerted strength, and a corner of the chair armrest was broken by him.
“What a terrifying saber intent!”
From his perspective, Han Zhao seemed to have fused with the long saber at his waist.
To be able to make him, a Five Qi Grandmaster, feel threatened, he must have comprehended saber intent and learned an extraordinary saber technique. Only then could there be such a terrifying killing intent before the saber was unsheathed.
As for Mu Shuangling, Shui Jingfeng, and the others, they only felt a powerful saber qi and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
“Saber Qi?!”
“I didn’t expect him to be hiding something.”
They only sighed at Han Zhao’s deep attainments in saber techniques. They did not have any other reaction. After all, the saber intent Han Zhao released just now was not targeted at them.
As for the others standing on both sides, they only heard the sound of a saber.
Seeing Gao Baijie’s pale face and silent appearance, Han Zhao immediately felt a little bored. He pressed his thumb gently and sheathed the Severing Karma Saber.
Such a person was not worthy of him using the G.o.d Slaying Three Styles. “It’s normal for you to have doubts, but I don’t like your att.i.tude.”
Han Zhao glanced at Gao Baijie, then turned to He Xuan. ‘Elder He, what do you think?”
. Noticing Han Zhao’s gaze, although his tone was very kind, He Xuan felt a chill down his spine. He immediately chuckled and said, “Young Sect Master is right. Sect Master Gao was indeed impolite just now.”
“Elder He is indeed an honest person.” Han Zhao smiled. He felt an unprecedented joy in following his heart. “You!” Gao Baijie’s expression turned stern.
“Huh?” Han Zhao glanced at him.
Gao Baijie felt suffocated, but he endured it. He cupped his hands in a low voice. “I misspoke just now.”
It seemed that Han Zhao had more to rely on than he had imagined. The key was that Han Zhao himself was not a small threat to him.
He had a feeling that if he really went all out, the possibility of them perishing together was quite high.
Actually, when he thought of this, he felt that it was unbelievable.
A young man who had only reached the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering actually gave him such a feeling.
Something was wrong!
“That’s right.” Han Zhao chuckled and changed the topic. “Actually, the reason why Si Zhu and I are unscathed is because we were lucky. The other party might have seen that we were too weak, so they didn’t take us seriously.”
As he spoke, Han Zhao turned slightly and glanced at Si Zhu beside him. “Right? Si Zhu.”
“Young Master is right!” Si Zhu nodded heavily and looked at Han Zhao with admiration.
He Xuan’s face twitched, and his smile stiffened. Who could believe this?
However, he could not refute it.
Han Zhao had the advantage.
Xue Han didn’t say a word and sized up Han Zhao suspiciously.
For some reason, with the same appearance, his confident appearance made him look like he was glowing.
This little handsome was even more to her liking!
The members of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang were also a little dumbfounded. They did not understand why Han Zhao had changed so much in just a month or two.
However, at this moment, they only felt that it was f*cking satisfying!
These sons of b*tches had always been tyrannical in the Furious Flood Dragon Gang and treated them as nothing. Now, they knew fear!
Young Sect Master was bold. This was what they wanted!
‘Could it be that he knows some secrets that I don’t know?! Has the old Sect Master really mastered his divine technique?’ Shui Jingfeng was a little confused.
When he returned to the Furious Flood Dragon Island, he secretly went to look for Shangguan Yunfei. However, Shangguan Yunfei looked very secretive and told him not to be anxious for the time being. Everything would be revealed after he came out of seclusion.
From the looks of it, Han Zhao must have obtained the recognition of the two generations of leaders, so he knew more secrets.
“In that case, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll take my leave first.” He Xuan stood up and smiled.
“The Dharma Sacrifice has been completed. The Longevity Church will remember the favor of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang this time.” Gao Baijie pondered for a moment and cupped his fists politely.
Compared to personal glory and humiliation, the major matters of the sect were more important.
After completing the Dharma Sacrifice this time, regardless of whether the
Sun Chasing Bow divine weapon would eventually belong to the Longevity Sect, he contributed greatly. Coupled with his past achievements, he could almost soak in the Blood Spirit Pool once to strengthen his bloodline and further increase his strength.
There was still a long way to go in the future. Sooner or later, he would find an opportunity to end today’s grudge.
“Little handsome, you’re really different from before. I like you so much! I’m temporarily living in a pleasure boat on the east bank of the Long Forest River. If little handsome is free, you can come to me to appreciate the moon and play the flute.”
Xue Han stared at Han Zhao seductively.
“Take care, everyone. Forgive me for not sending you off.” Han Zhao sat on the chair and cupped his hands.
“Farewell.
He Xuan and Gao Baijie left first.
Seeing that Han Zhao ignored her invitation, Xue Han was not angry. After covering her mouth and giggling, she twisted her slender waist and walked out of the hall.
G.o.d Slaying Three Styles—Purgatory Style (Greater Mastery 85%)
After the three of them left, Han Zhao’s gaze focused. He discovered that on the martial arts column in the system interface, the progress of the Purgatory Style Saber Technique had increased greatly.
It actually increased by 35% out of thin air.
“Could it be because I did as I pleased just now and was no longer overcautious?
Han Zhao felt that he had found the trick to the Purgatory Style Saber Technique.
“However, how many people can really do whatever they want?”
Han Zhao sighed in his heart, but he quickly reacted.
“But with the saber and sword in my hand, I only hope that my thoughts can be realized!”
