Chapter 79: (1): The Weird Little Medicine Boy

After taking a sip of tea, Long Xuan began transcribing a technique called the "Nine Deaths Divine Art." This is a powerful body-refining technique sufficient to complete the body refinement up-to the Soul Projection Stage.

The supernatural ability of this technique lies in breaking through after reaching the brink of death. Each time the practitioner is close to death, their physical body undergoes a qualitative leap. Hence, it is called the Nine Deaths Divine Art.

In ancient times, the number nine symbolized a virtual number, indicating multiple instances rather than the literal number nine. The more times one faces death, the better.

This technique is extremely dangerous. Practitioners must constantly seek death, repeatedly experiencing life-and-death situations, breaking through after survival, challenging their limits, and continuously surpassing themselves.

However, while nearing death can continuously strengthen the supernatural ability, one mistake can lead to true death. Who dares to approach death even once? Nonetheless, the more dangerous the technique, the more powerful it becomes, with the price paid often correlating with the reward.

It is precisely because this technique is exceedingly dangerous that it is also immensely powerful. Once mastered, it grants extraordinary combat power.

The "Nine Deaths Divine Art" is evidently not an ordinary technique, suggesting an extraordinary origin. It might have been a renowned technique from a certain period, possibly one of the top body-refining techniques in the entire Gu world and should not be underestimated.

Since Long Xuan already had the "Ten Absolutes Scripture" for his cultivation technique, he did not compete with others but chose this unremarked body-refining technique.

Long Xuan cherished his life and was extremely timid. Given his fear of death, he naturally had no interest in such a life-threatening Divine ability.

The only reason he immediately transcribed this technique was that he had long planned to create his body-refining technique after refining the Water Bear Gu.

Creating a body-refining technique requires referencing many powerful techniques. With all the formation books taken by Di Xin, he could only transcribe the "Nine Lives Divine Skill" first.

Time passed by quietly, with the cave falling into silence, save for the scratching sound of pen on paper.

Everyone transcribed books with full concentration, forgetting the passage of time, forgetting to eat or drink, only wanting to transcribe the Gu King's cultivation techniques as quickly as possible, as if fearing any delay.

Unbeknownst to them, three days had passed, with the rogue cultivators transcribing for three whole days in the cave.

In these three days, they used countless sheets of paper and broke many pens. Nonetheless, the results were gratifying, with each person binding a good number of new books, reaping substantial gains.

Each person's face was beaming with smiles, cherishing the techniques in their hands.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps echoed in the passage again. Even light footsteps sounded heavy in the quiet cave.

The sudden footsteps broke the silence of the secret room again.

Just as the previous group left, another unexpected visitor arrived.

Since the previous group walked together, it was unlikely that one would return suddenly. Who could this person be?

Unsurprisingly, this person was Long Xuan. The fake Long Xuan had left with the group, and the real Long Xuan finally arrived.

The real Long Xuan had been lingering nearby for a long time, collecting heat-resistant water bear insects and observing the situation in the cave.

Using the Eye of Heavenly secret to see that everyone had left, he immediately entered.

He had no time to obtain the memory of the Fire Clone, so he didn't know what had happened in the cave or what was inside.

He sneaked in this time to see if there was a chance to pick up any valuable leftovers. What if everyone missed some important treasure? Or what if everyone overlooked a valuable treasure?

In theory, such assumptions are entirely possible.

Thinking of this, Long Xuan decided to come in and take a look.

The luminous pearls embedded in the cave walls had been taken by the others, leaving the cave in darkness.

Long Xuan used a tiny amount of spiritual power to activate the Blazing flame Palm, condensing a large fireball in his palm, illuminating the cave brightly.
