N-A-A Chapter 30 Advancing to Divine Might
Chapter 30 Advancing to Divine Might
"Having not flown on a sword for so long, I've probably caught a chill from the wind!"
Su Ru sat on a blue stone with her legs together, casually making up an excuse, and glanced at Xu Yan as she spoke.
Xu Yan, on the other hand, seemed unaware of what had happened, and asked with a concerned expression:
"Madam, your constitution is rather weak. It seems you'll need to diligently practice the boxing techniques I taught you!"
Tian Ling'er also agreed, echoing:
"Yes, I also think the boxing techniques Brother Xu taught us are excellent. Mother, you must practice your boxing diligently!"
Su Ru's expression was inscrutable. She glanced at Xu Yan and gazed into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.
After a while, she seemed to have rested enough, and suddenly said:
"You said you wanted to gain experience, but flying with you doesn't seem to be working. How about this, we'll all walk from now on!"
"Ah, Qingyun Mountain is three thousand li away from Kongsang Mountain. We've only traveled a short distance, haven't we? How long will it take to get there on foot?"
Tian Ling'er's face fell, and she ran to Su Ru, looking pitiful, and said:
"Mother, please take me and Brother Xu with you! The sooner we go and come back, the sooner you can join Father and the others!"
Previously, she mainly wanted to be with Xu Yan and didn't think much about it.
But once they set off, they discovered that wandering the world was a tough job.
Although her mother escorted her all the way, saving her from a long journey, the cold wind blowing on her face was still unpleasant.
Without a flying sword to ride on, wouldn't walking be exhausting?
"There's no rush to go to the southwestern swamp. With the precious sword and jade talisman given to us by Xu Yan, they won't miss me."
Su Ru shook her head and addressed Xu Yan by his full name, no longer calling him "Fellow Daoist Xu" as before.
"Madam Su is quite right. In my hometown, there's a saying: 'Travel ten thousand miles and practice a million techniques.' Since it's a training exercise, we can't be too relaxed. Otherwise, how can we bravely and diligently advance, overcome obstacles, and pursue the great path?"
Xu Yan spoke with conviction, seemingly agreeing with Su Ru's point of view. However, he then changed his tone and said:
"I have no problem practicing my boxing while walking, but Madam is unwell, and Ling'er is still young. How can I let you both walk with me?"
"My lady, you don't need to worry about me. You take Ling'er and fly on your sword; I'll just run on the ground!"
To be honest, he didn't want to support Su Ru's waist anymore.
Such a beautiful woman was swaying in front of him, and her palm had that warm, smooth touch that made him think all sorts of things. He was a young man who practiced boxing every day and had vigorous blood and energy. He was really afraid that he would lose control and do something embarrassing for the two of them!
Su Ru saw that Xu Yan's eyes were clear and his words were sincere, without the slightest hint of disrespect, and sighed inwardly.
It seems she was overthinking it; it must have all been an accident!
The thought flashed through her mind, and she felt inexplicably uneasy again.
Could it be that she's really too old and has lost all her appeal?
Without realizing it, she touched the corner of her eye.
Back then, on Mount Qingyun, countless talented young men admired her, and would blush whenever they saw her.
Alas, all romance fades with time, youth is fleeting, and beauty grows old.
For a moment, she was depressed and absent-minded, and she didn't even hear what Tian Ling'er was saying.
"Mother, what are you thinking about? Didn't you hear me?"
Shaking her arm brought Su Ru back to her senses. After listening to Tian Ling'er finish speaking, she said:
"It's up to Xu Yan himself!"
Tian Ling'er naturally wanted the three of them to continue riding the flying sword together, but Xu Yan refused.
He was genuinely practicing boxing, and he was also genuinely trying to suppress his lustful thoughts.
Hearing Xu Yan refuse again, Su Ru looked at him with even higher regard.
Perhaps only those with such unwavering resolve can truly pursue the supreme Dao!
Next, Su Ru and Tian Ling'er rode their flying swords at low altitude.
Xu Yan used his movement technique, rushing forward while continuously unleashing punches.
Seeing Xu Yan practice his boxing for two hours without losing speed and with great energy, Su Ru was truly astonished.
This time, she was truly amazed by Xu Yan's perseverance and the astonishing power contained within him!
For the rest of the time, Su Ru and Tian Ling'er also disembarked from their flying swords and stayed with Xu Yan.
The three of them stopped practicing their boxing, chatted, and played around. Before they knew it, night had fallen.
In a small town, the three checked into the largest inn in the area.
Because Xu Yan had given the two women a fasting pill during their daytime boxing practice, the three of them were not hungry.
The two women were physically exhausted and mentally tired, so they went to bed early after washing up.
Xu Yan continued practicing his boxing until late at night.
Lying on the bed, Xu Yan's mind sank into the strange space-time deep within his sea of consciousness.
"I used to fish in the Eternal World, and what I caught was mostly from that world. Now that I'm fishing in the Jade Dynasty world, will I be catching items from this world instead?"
He had been thinking about fishing during the day, and now, on the eve of his fishing trip, the idea flashed through his mind again.
"In that case, let's try it out!"
There don't seem to be many treasures in this world, and Xu Yan wasn't sure what he would catch.
However, since we have a surplus of fate's power for now, there's no harm in giving it a try.
After fishing for the top-grade spiritual artifact, the Shadow Needle, he had 72 strands of destiny power remaining.
After killing the eight humans and eight cranes, he obtained 485 strands of destiny power.
There are now a total of 557 strands of destiny's power.
After a moment's thought, Xu Yan prepared to use 200 strands of destiny power to condense a crimson bait and give it a try.
Xu Yan, distracted, sat high on the throne of destiny, holding the fishing rod of destiny, and began to fish.
The next moment, he caught a ball of light in his hand.
One Dragon Pill
[The Dragon Pill, an ancient elixir. In this world, the ancient powerful Heavenly Emperor slew a dragon and refined it into an elixir from the dragon's flesh and blood. After consumption, it can strengthen the body's foundation, cleanse the marrow and meridians, transform the bones and muscles, and grant the user the power of a dragon.]
"Dragon Pill? Heavenly Emperor? This pill seems to be much stronger than the inner core of the One-Horned Viper?"
Xu Yan examined the walnut-sized, dark red pill in his hand. For some reason, he felt that the pill contained a faint aura of malevolence.
The fact that he caught this elixir from this world while fishing confirmed Xu Yan's previous guess.
"So, the Heavenly Emperor really did exist. Then the five volumes of Heavenly Books must undoubtedly be what he left behind."
"Furthermore, the only thing in this world that is clearly related to the Heavenly Emperor is the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure Vault in the southwestern swamp."
"The elixir of immortality within the treasure vault is a divine medicine that even savage beasts like the Blackwater Serpent and the Yellow Bird, which have lived for countless thousands or tens of thousands of years, would fight over."
"In that case, the most valuable item in this world is probably the elixir of immortality that can prolong life, found in the Heavenly Emperor's treasury!"
Xu Yan's eyes suddenly became intense.
Items that extend lifespan are also incredibly valuable in the world of immortality.
After all, even a regular Heavenly Elixir only extends lifespan by a few hundred years.
The value of spiritual objects that can extend lifespan by thousands or even tens of thousands of years is self-evident.
"The location of that Heavenly Treasure Vault is easy to find, but it's not open yet, so even the Yellow Bird and the Black Water Serpent can't open it. Before I advance my supernatural powers, there's no need to waste my time going there."
With that thought in mind, Xu Yan returned to his senses, flipped his hand, and took out the Flood Dragon Pill.
He is currently at the seventh level of the Inner Strength Realm. If he wants to advance to the next level using the White Yang Pill, it will probably take at least one or two months.
With this elixir, his advancement time may be greatly accelerated.
He was also curious about just how much power a dragon in this world possessed!
Fearing that something unusual might happen while taking the pill and attract the attention of ordinary people, Xu Yan simply left the inn and went outside the city.
In a remote place, he had just taken the Dragon Pill when a wave of heat surged through his abdomen.
At that instant, his eyes also suddenly flashed red.
The next moment, Xu Yan seemed unable to contain himself and suddenly let out a long roar.
Strangely, the long roar, like the cry of a dragon, suddenly emanated from his chest, its sound reverberating for miles around.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yan activated the Crane Longevity Fist, forcefully punching and refining the Flood Dragon Pill.
Two full hours later, Xu Yan, covered in sweat, stopped boxing.
"I didn't expect this Flood Dragon Pill to be so violent. It will probably take several more days to truly refine it."
He clenched his fist gently, and a greater power than before was contained between his five fingers. Xu Yan looked excited.
Having only refined a portion of the medicinal power of the Flood Dragon Pill, he actually gained approximately 20,000 jin of strength.
"Good, very good, excellent!"
"With the help of this pill, I will be able to advance to the Divine Warrior level within a few days!"
……
The next day.
Inside the inn, countless people were discussing the dragon's roar from the previous night.
Xu Yan and his two companions continued their journey and practiced their boxing without making a sound.
Four days later.
On a cliff, Xu Yan leaped and bounded, displaying agility as he practiced his boxing techniques repeatedly.
The force of the punch tore through the air, frequently producing muffled thunderous sounds.
The next moment, he slammed his fist into the ground.
With a loud boom and a series of fine cracking sounds, the rocks split open like a spider web.
At the same time, a strange layer of dry skin appeared on Xu Yan's body, as if a dragon or snake were shedding its skin.
The new skin looks more delicate, yet also more refined and firm.
Beneath the skin, invisible to the naked eye, a thick, dense membrane forms imperceptibly.
This moment.
The eighth level of the Divine Warrior Realm of Physical Body has been achieved!
