Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 203, Transforming Cultivation Technique

"Is this young master here to buy the ’Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique’?"

A pleasant voice came from the staircase in the main hall, like an oriole in the summer. Following it, a graceful figure slowly descended the stairs. The woman had a breathtaking appearance, with features as delicate as beads and a naturally charming demeanor. She was as serene as a flower reflected in the water, and her movements were as elegant as a willow swaying in the breeze.

"Yes, I’m here to buy it."

Chu Ming withdrew his gaze and replied calmly. Among all the women he had seen, only Bai Hanyan could compare to this newcomer in terms of temperament and beauty. In some ways, she even surpassed Bai Hanyan by a bit.

"I am the steward of the first floor of the Spirit Gathering Pavilion, Beiming Lan."

Beiming Lan looked at Chu Ming with a touch of curiosity in her eyes. This was the first time she had seen a man who could face her beauty so calmly. In Chu Ming’s eyes, she saw only admiration, without any lewd intentions.

"Hmm."

Chu Ming nodded slightly.

"Fetch the ’Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique’!"

Beiming Lan ordered the attendant behind her.

"Yes!"

The attendant, who had just left, responded respectfully and turned to leave.

Before long, the attendant returned, carrying a red tray with a red cloth covering it.

"A total of 3.1 million Lower Grade Spirit Stones."

Beiming Lan said.

Chu Ming glanced at the cultivation technique and nodded slightly. With a gentle wave of his hand, several boxes of Lower Grade Spirit Stones appeared before everyone.

This transaction nearly exhausted all of his Lower Grade Spirit Stones, leaving only over 9,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones in his Storage Ring.

After the transaction was completed, the two did not leave immediately but wandered around the hall, looking here and there.

It had to be said that the trading items in the Black Rock Empire were incomparable to the auction houses in the Great Yan Kingdom. In the main hall, a random item would be fought over with bloody competition if brought to the Great Yan Kingdom. Chu Ming even found several Earth Level Martial Techniques among them. Generally speaking, Earth Level Martial Techniques were meant for Guiyuan Realm powerhouses, and True Dao Martial Artists would likely be drained of all their Spiritual Power before they could even fully execute them.

Earth Level Martial Techniques, Earth Level Magical Treasures...

Although Chu Ming was deeply tempted, the prices were enough to deter him.

In fact, the value of the ’Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique’ far exceeded that of ordinary Low Tier Earth Level Martial Techniques and Magical Treasures. Among these items, cultivation techniques were the most precious, often comparable to Martial Techniques two sub-tiers higher.

After wandering for a while, the two found it uninteresting and prepared to leave. At that moment, a dozen or so youths approached from the opposite direction. These youths had fair complexions and carried a subtle arrogance in their expressions. Their luxurious robes exuded an extraordinary aura. frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Oh, isn’t this Yue’Er?"

The leader of the youths, a youth in a green robe, had a pale face with a smirk at the corner of his mouth and a frivolous gaze. His eyes swept over Lin Yue’Er standing next to Chu Ming, with a hint of lewdness that, though subtle, did not escape Chu Ming’s notice.

"Hu Ziang, who do you think is your sister? Watch your words!"

Lin Yue’Er’s expression changed, and she said coldly, her eyes filled with disgust.

"Hehehe, don’t worry, when the Hu Family wipes out your Lin Family, you’ll be crying and begging me to be your brother!"

Hu Ziang was not angry; his eyes showed even more lewdness as he spoke. The youths behind him began jeering, their words vile and unpleasant to hear.

"If you want to wipe out our Lin Family, you’ll have to wait for your next life!"

Lin Yue’Er said, about to pull Chu Ming’s sleeve to leave. At this moment, Hu Ziang also noticed Chu Ming standing to the side and furrowed his brow. He rummaged through his memory and finally confirmed that Chu Ming was not from Black Dragon City, and he instantly felt relieved.

"Hehehe, that’s not for you to worry about. But I believe that day won’t be far off."

Hu Ziang did not stop Lin Yue’Er from leaving. His father had warned him multiple times never to cause trouble in the Spirit Gathering Pavilion, and he always remembered this warning.

The two walked together toward the Lin Family mansion. On the way, Lin Yue’Er explained Hu Ziang’s identity to Chu Ming. He was the second young master of the Hu Family.

The Hu Family was also one of the many clans in North City, with power comparable to the Lin Family. The two families had always been mortal enemies, like fire and water.

"By the way, where is your sister now?"

Chu Ming turned to Lin Yue’Er and asked. During his stay at the Lin Family, he had learned that Lin Yue’Er had a sister, but he had never seen her. Thus, he was curious.

"My sister is an Inner Sect Disciple of the Celestial Travel Sect. She spends most of her time there and rarely comes home."

Lin Yue’Er said proudly. Although there were many geniuses in Black Dragon City, being able to join the Celestial Travel Sect was still a significant honor. For a small family like theirs, having a disciple in the Celestial Travel Sect was like having a protective talisman.

"Does the Hu Family also have someone they rely on?"

Chu Ming furrowed his brow, thinking of Hu Ziang’s arrogant behavior and feeling a hunch.

"That’s right. Hu Ziang’s elder brother is the Vice Guard General of Black Dragon City, wielding some power. Otherwise, the Hu Family would have been destroyed by our Lin Family long ago."

Lin Yue’Er replied.

Chu Ming nodded slightly, understanding that compared to Lin Yue’Er’s sister, Hu Ziang’s elder brother was much less capable. However, Lin Yue’Er’s sister was usually at the Celestial Travel Sect, too far to be of immediate help, whereas Hu Ziang’s elder brother was always in Black Dragon City and served in the military, providing considerable support to the Hu Family. This created the current stalemate between the Lin and Hu families.

Before long, the two arrived at the Lin Family mansion and parted in the garden. Chu Ming returned to his small courtyard, entered his room, and tightly closed the door.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Chu Ming took out the ’Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique’ from his Storage Ring and began cultivating.

The ’Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique’ had seven layers in total. Reciting the mantra of the First Layer, Chu Ming circulated the Spiritual Power in his dantian, following the movement diagram in the technique.

As the Spiritual Power flowed, the Fire Element Spiritual Power within Chu Ming was gradually being purified, transforming into pure Spiritual Power. It seemed to be nurturing infinite sharpness. Gradually, countless small, sharp Sword Auras erupted around Chu Ming’s body. These were all virtual Sword Essence, not yet possessing real attack power.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

When a tenth of the Spiritual Power in Chu Ming’s dantian had been transformed, his dantian trembled slightly, and more gentle Spiritual Power flowed out.

The ’Pure Essence Sword Qi Technique’ had entered the Second Layer!

Entering the Second Layer, the speed of transformation undoubtedly increased significantly.
