I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 139: Revisiting Old Haunts

Under the clear sky, in the uninhabited wilderness.

Zhang Yuan swung his saber against the wind, again and again.

The Basic Sword Technique Profound Communication granted him not only the extraordinary ability to unleash formless blade qi,

but also a deeper insight and mastery over his saber technique.

With the aid of this ability, Zhang Yuan’s Wave-Slaying Saber easily stepped into the level of intentional momentum!

The sword aura shimmered, layered like waves, surging endlessly.

The saber technique was unstoppable!

During the final move of the practice, Zhang Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, hastily activating the Blood Burning Technique, and bit the tip of his tongue, spraying a mouthful of vital blood onto the Yanling Blade Body.

As he swung the saber again, the blade instantly ignited with scorching blood-red flames, surging and covering a ten-step radius!

The next moment, Zhang Yuan retracted his long blade.

He was drenched in sweat, and the light in his eyes dimmed slightly.

This sudden move he executed exhausted a large amount of his qi and blood.

Coupled with the previous loss, Zhang Yuan’s qi and blood value plummeted below the safety line!

He quickly took a piece of old ginseng and placed it under his tongue, sitting down to restore his qi and blood.

Despite the impulsiveness, Zhang Yuan gained significantly.

The simultaneous activation of the Blood Burning Technique and formless blade qi, combining the two to form saber flames, demonstrated the brilliance of profound communication while also providing Zhang Yuan with a deadly move to deal with the mysterious.

Although it hadn’t been tested in actual combat, Zhang Yuan believed that this move could cause considerable damage to the mysterious.

For lower-tier mysterious, it might even be exterminated with a single stroke!

Unfortunately, the Qi Blood Pill is too precious, otherwise...

Zhang Yuan shook his head, breaking this unrealistic fantasy.

Once his qi and blood value recovered above the safety line, he set off back to Whale Castle.

In the days that followed, Zhang Yuan was either at home or in the practice room, diligently practicing the "Iron Cloth Shirt."

As a rather advanced horizontal training cultivation technique, the "Iron Cloth Shirt" is not easy to train.

Firstly, this cultivation technique requires a certain level of talent from the martial artist.

Those with poor talent can still practice, but with great difficulty and not worth the time and effort.

Zhang Yuan’s talent for martial arts is certainly sufficient, but he still needs to accumulate bit by bit.

The "Iron Cloth Shirt" primarily tempers the skin, muscles, and bones. Achieving great success involves delving into the blood marrow and internal organs, similar to the "Rock Foundation Skill," which also requires medicinal baths to accelerate progress.

Zhang Yuan discovered that the herbal soup recipe from the "Rock Foundation Skill" was actually effective for the "Iron Cloth Shirt" as well!

Conversely, his daily hard practice of the "Iron Cloth Shirt" could also enhance the cultivation of the "Rock Foundation Skill."

The two could complement each other!

This greatly aroused Zhang Yuan’s interest, immersing himself in the practice room every day, almost to the point of neglecting sleep and food.

And his strength improvement was noticeable.

His skin, muscles, and bones became increasingly tough and solid, the foundation of Tier Two Dark Force grew steadier, and as his strength increased, so did his qi and blood, achieving an all-around enhancement.

Until a month later, Yue Wuji summoned Zhang Yuan to the Battle Hall.

He tossed Zhang Yuan a copy of a cultivation technique: "This is the revised Blood Evil Palm Technique. If you want to practice it, you can take it and practice with peace of mind, it’s fine now."

Zhang Yuan was overjoyed, "Thank you, Hall Master!"

Previously, he had handed over the "Blood Evil Palm" secret manual he accidentally obtained to Yue Wuji, fully prepared for it to be like drawing water with a bamboo basket.

After all, the hidden traps in cultivation secret manuals are not easily solved. A slight mistake could lead to big problems.

Unexpectedly, Yue Wuji had actually figured it out.

As expected, relying on a big tree is good for shade; if Zhang Yuan were to rely on himself, he could only store the manual away.

He could see it but wouldn’t dare to practice it!

Yue Wuji waved his hand, "I promised you a great merit, but because the content of this manual was troublesome, I had to use favors to take it to headquarters to solve it."

"So now I can only give you a copy, are you willing?"

Without hesitation, Zhang Yuan replied, "I am willing, I have no complaints!"

With Yue Wuji’s status, he wouldn’t be stingy with a great merit reward.

Zhang Yuan wasn’t someone who was never satisfied with what he received.

"Hmm."

Yue Wuji nodded in satisfaction and added, "I heard you’ve been practicing extremely hard lately, almost treating the practice room like your home. The path of martial arts cultivation is long and arduous, balance is key, beware of overdoing it."

The Hall Master of the Battle Hall truly admired Zhang Yuan and thus patiently gave him much guidance.

Zhang Yuan remembered it all in his heart.

Yue Wuji was usually very busy, and it wasn’t easy to meet him, so opportunities for face-to-face guidance were rare.

He naturally cherished it greatly.

Upon returning, he stored away the revised copy of the "Blood Evil Palm," not rushing to practice it immediately.

As the saying goes, greed does not chew well, the cultivation and martial arts Zhang Yuan currently mastered were already enough; he didn’t plan to invest time and energy in this palm technique until his "Iron Cloth Shirt" reached great success.

Even though the "Blood Evil Palm" was terribly powerful.

Time flew by, summer passed, autumn arrived, and in the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.

During this period, Zhang Yuan completed several tasks for the Battle Hall, accumulating for himself two great merits and three small merits.

The source material, which was almost depleted previously, also increased a bit.

He decided to allocate it all to the fourth host, the White Dragon Loach.

But it still wasn’t enough for an upgrade.

Zhang Yuan estimated that the source material needed to upgrade from level three to level four was several times more than what was required to upgrade from level one to level three combined.

In terms of martial arts cultivation, he had entirely consumed the medicinal materials previously purchased from Nanxun Prefecture.

The cultivation of "Rock Foundation Skill" and "Iron Cloth Shirt" also encountered a bottleneck.

In this situation, Zhang Yuan decided to give himself a break.

On this particular day, Zhang Yuan quietly left Whale Castle and ventured alone to Chen Family Village.

Returning to his old haunt, this abandoned village was now unrecognizable.

Due to lack of maintenance, most of the houses had collapsed, and the remaining few good houses were overtaken by vines and weeds, destined to sooner or later fall into ruin and become part of nature.

This time, Zhang Yuan came to Chen Family Village, not on a whim.

He wanted to investigate the current state of Qianfeng Mountain.

Qianfeng Mountain was undoubtedly a treasure trove.

Three of the four hosts he currently owned came from Qianfeng Mountain, and he even obtained a divine weapon there!

Additionally, the mountain was full of wild beasts and abundant in precious medicinal materials awaiting harvest.

For Zhang Yuan, these were all sources of material and resources!

The only thing that worried him was the mysterious.

Zhang Yuan wasn’t as bold as the Celestial Beings, capable of mobilizing thousands of martial artists to pave the way, not to mention inviting two divine statues to hold the fort.

To drive away the mysterious lurking in the mountains.

And what he could rely on now.

Aside from the Exorcism Talisman given by Liu Seventh Lady, was the self-created Blood Flame Saber!

Yet, even with some means to deal with the mysterious, Zhang Yuan didn’t plan to venture deep into Qianfeng Mountain recklessly.

He tread along the path he had traversed multiple times before.

Once again stepping into this great mountain!
