Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 489 - 478: Blade Skill Shatters the Void

[Butcher lv.17 (0/50000): The livestock you slaughter become more delicious, the essence is enhanced, the slaughter speed is increased, the slaughter precision is improved, and the slaughter structure is enhanced]

[Talent: Unity Realm blade cultivation technique perfection, Unity Realm weapon cultivation technique insight perfection, Unity Realm blade cultivation technique damage perfection, Unity Realm blade cultivation technique armor penetration perfection, Unity Realm blade cultivation technique attribute enhancement perfection]

Looking at the words formed by smoke in front of him, Qin An showed a hint of excitement.

This time, he had been almost continuously practicing the Butcher profession proficiency day and night, with hardly any pause except for daily sleep, rest, and three meals a day.

And this period of intense cultivation had brought great benefits.

During the process of making pills, he finally cultivated the Butcher profession to the seventeenth level.

After reaching level seventeen, all the Butcher talents were enhanced to the Unity Realm perfection, and now it was time for him to advance his blade skill.

Qin An took out a cloth bag from his bosom and placed it on the table.

The cloth bag spread open, containing twenty monster souls quietly inside.

This was the reward he received after helping the Dragon Palace with pill making recently.

Exchanging five hundred pills for one monster soul, he crafted a total of ten thousand pills.

And these ten thousand pills only took about ten days of his time.

Moreover, each day took at most about one hour.

In addition, Qin An also had five monster souls within his body.

Apart from what he got from the last mission, he also exchanged some with the Evil Extermination Bureau, making it a total of twenty-five monster souls, which provided Qin An with a substantial foundation.

It would also enable him to smoothly deduce his blade skill to the Void Shattering Realm.

Thinking of this, Qin An took out a cultivation technique from his bosom and placed it on the table.

"I don’t have any merits left, but luckily the remaining merit was just enough to exchange for a blade skill."

The blade skill was named Blade Qi Cross Technique, a unique Unity Realm blade skill.

This blade skill was not available in the Evil Extermination Bureau of Xunyang Prefecture, and could only be found in this Tianyun Dao.

This blade skill emphasized the use of blade qi.

The so-called Blade Qi Cross is to condense blade qi from the Void Essence inside the body, and at the moment of swinging the blade, release the blade qi outward.

The blade qi can be used for long-range attacks or cover the blade for close combat.

For Qin An, he indeed lacked a means of long-range attack.

Although the Nine Revolutions Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber can shoot through the blade, its range is not far.

And this Blade Qi Cross Technique aptly fills that gap.

Qin An paused slightly and then diligently went through the Blade Qi Cross Technique.

With the talent of the Butcher profession and the Scholar profession, he fully grasped the Blade Qi Cross Technique in less than half an hour.

Qin An closed the book, drew the Cold Star from his waist, and with a flash of cold light, the Void Essence surged within his body, operating continuously as per the Blade Qi Cross Technique, immediately covering the blade with a layer of Nine-Colored Void Essence.

This time, the Nine-Colored Void Essence was unlike before.

Qin An could feel that as long as he swung the blade casually when performing the blade skill, he could shoot the Nine-Colored Void Essence out, forming a blade qi to attack enemies from a distance.

Moreover, due to the supreme foundation within him, he could continuously release blade qi.

The blade qi could even weave into a web according to his will, causing horrific damage to enemies.

In front of him, smoke appeared, then condensed into new words, floating in mid-air.

[You practiced the Blade Qi Cross Technique, triggering the Butcher profession talent]

[Blade Qi Cross Technique (Perfection)]

The next moment, a large amount of information accompanied the fading words and entered Qin An’s mind.

Qin An immediately comprehended the essence of the Blade Qi Cross Technique.

However, this was not Qin An’s limit.

With a slight ponder, Qin An operated the Void Essence inside him and performed the Nine Revolutions Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber.

When Qin An performed the Nine Revolutions Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber, the smoke in front of him suddenly dissipated, then gradually condensed into new words, floating in mid-air.

[You possess the Nine Revolutions Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber and the Blade Qi Cross Technique, planning to merge the two into one, but unfortunately lack the talent, leading to fusion failure]

Qin An slightly narrowed his eyes, raised his left hand, picked up the monster souls next to him, and absorbed five of them.

In an instant, he had the quantity of ten monster souls inside him.

Qin An did not hesitate and continued to perform the Nine Revolutions Ruthless Blood Transformation Saber.

The smoke in front of him collapsed again, and after re-condensing, turned into new words.

[You are unwilling, being new to Tianyun Dao, unfamiliar with this place and surrounded by dangers; you intend to forcibly burn the blood within you to merge the two]

The blood in the body rapidly burned a part, the smoke in front quickly disrupted, and formed new words.

[You burned a large amount of blood, and a glimmer of inspiration emerged in your mind, giving you deeper insight into both blade skills, but it is still not enough to fuse the two into one]

Qin An burned the blood in his body again, leaving the ten monster souls empty.

The smoke in front twisted, forming new words.

[After sitting for years, burning a large amount of blood again, this time the inspiration began to magnify gradually, as if it connected the two blade skills together, you finally comprehended]

[You name the new blade skill Nine Revolutions Ruthless Cross Saber]

[Nine Revolutions Ruthless Cross Saber (Initial Understanding)]

"Boom!"

A roaring sound suddenly came, turning into a large amount of information and pouring into Qin An’s mind.

In Qin An’s mind, it was as if there was a phantom, wielding a straight blade, and performing a set of domineering and fierce blade skills.

In an instant, Qin An, like a master of blade use, completely understood the essence of the Nine Revolutions Ruthless Cross Saber.

After fusing the two blade skills, the Nine Revolutions Ruthless Cross Saber not only possessed the ability to harness nine types of Void Essence, but also bore the relentless and merciless blade style as well as the power of blood transformation.

```

It can even utilize Void Essence, transforming into blade energy for long-range attacks.

Qin An sheathed the saber, thinking to himself: "Another deficiency has been filled today, now I just need to enhance my hand-to-hand martial arts."

He’s planning to take things one step at a time, and next, he will enhance his proficiency in the blacksmith profession.

However, before that, Qin An felt that his achievements seemed somewhat lacking.

At present, there are still fifteen demon souls, Qin An first absorbed ten into his body, then put away the remaining five, silently contemplating.

"The matter of these demon souls isn’t urgent; with fifteen demon souls, it’s enough to enhance hand-to-hand skills, but where can I get a cultivation technique? It looks like I have to rely on the Evil Extermination Bureau’s missions and exchange for it with achievements."

Thinking of this, Qin An looked at the sky, where the night was already slightly dark, planning to rest for the night, and find a mission the next day to earn enough achievements.

As for the black market that Zhu Xueshuang mentioned before, there’s still no clue, so he’s not rushed for now.

And the pills for Dragon Palace have already been refined, so they won’t be bothering him for the time being.

With this in mind, Qin An extinguished the oil lamp and went to bed early.

...

The next day.

As dawn was barely breaking, Qin An got up early, first went outside to have breakfast, and then prepared to return to the Evil Extermination Bureau to accept a mission.

Unexpectedly, before he could head to the Internal Affairs Department, a Daoist Official suddenly came to him.

The Daoist Official was accompanied by a young man, whose expression seemed somewhat timid.

Moreover, his clothing was not that of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Seeing the Daoist Official seemed to be coming for him, Qin An stopped, resting his hand on Cold Star, waiting in place.

As expected, as the Daoist Official brought the young man closer, he immediately clasped his hands together respectfully.

"Subordinate pays respect to the sir."

"During the early morning, a disciple from the Chuyun Sect came, saying they wanted to discuss something with you in detail. However, when I asked, he wouldn’t say anything and insisted on meeting you."

Qin An raised an eyebrow, only to find that he seemed to recognize the person in front of him: "Aren’t you the one I met on the official road before?"

Previously, he and Chen Liuyun encountered two women and three disciples of the Chuyun Sect on the official road.

The two women were from the Spirit Sword Sect, trying to redirect trouble onto them, and were thus slain by Qin An with his saber.

And this young man was one of the three Chuyun Sect disciples from that encounter.

Wu Rang took a deep breath, smiling wryly: "I didn’t think you’d really be an official in the Evil Extermination Bureau! I am Wu Rang, greeting the sir!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Qin An nodded slightly and turned to the Daoist Official, saying, "You may leave now, I’ll handle this matter myself."

The Daoist Official dared not disobey orders in the presence of Tong Daoshuai and silently retreated.

After the Daoist Official left, Qin An turned to Wu Rang and asked.

"What urgent matter brings you to me?"

The Chuyun Sect is a mid-level power in the Tianyun Dao, much stronger than the Gu Sect Qin An had dealt with before.

But Qin An had never had any dealings with the Chuyun Sect, so he was unsure what they were here for.

Wu Rang displayed a complicated expression and suddenly clasped his hands, saying: "The Sect Leader heard that the Lingyun Sword from the Spirit Sword Sect was with you, so they sent me to borrow the Lingyun Sword from you."

Qin An slightly raised an eyebrow: "So you were pursuing those two for the Lingyun Sword?"

Wu Rang shook his head: "I didn’t know; the message I got at the time was just to hunt down those two women. When I returned, the Sect Leader questioned me about the whereabouts of the Lingyun Sword. Only then did I remember that the Lingyun Sword was with the sir."

"The Sect Leader sent me over just to borrow the Lingyun Sword. The specific reason wasn’t disclosed."

Qin An rubbed his chin and said: "The Lingyun Sword is indeed useless to me; lending it is no problem, but you should understand the rules regarding this."

The Lingyun Sword is certainly powerful, but it requires the cultivation technique of the Spirit Sword Sect to activate, which Qin An didn’t possess, nor did he know any swordsmanship.

Thus, it remained unused with him.

Now, Wu Rang said that the Chuyun Sect wished to borrow it, essentially meaning they wanted something that belonged to him.

Naturally, Qin An wanted to gain appropriate benefits from the transaction.

Whether he was being too exact or not, viewing things clearly was better for him.

Wu Rang quickly said: "Sir, the Chuyun Sect is willing to offer five demon souls in addition to a piece of information."

At this point, Wu Rang took out five demon souls from his bosom and presented them to Qin An.

Looking at the five demon souls, the corners of Qin An’s mouth slightly turned upward: "Five demon souls just to borrow the Lingyun Sword, these do suffice, but I’m more interested in knowing what this piece of information is about?"

To be honest, just for borrowing the Lingyun Sword, five demon souls were certainly enough for Qin An.

As for whether the Chuyun Sect would dare not return it, Qin An thought they wouldn’t dare.

After all, he had the Evil Extermination Bureau as a backing.

But Wu Rang mentioning a piece of information piqued Qin An’s curiosity.

For Wu Rang to disclose such information, it must certainly be related to him.

Since returning to Tianyun Dao, he hadn’t gone out, nor had he offended anyone, what could this involve?

Qin An’s curiosity was becoming more intense.

Wu Rang paused briefly, moved closer, and whispered: "Is the sir adept in a technique merging alchemy?"

Qin An narrowed his eyes: "Who told you that?"

Wu Rang felt the chilling Evil Qi from Qin An, trembling involuntarily as he lowered his head and said: "This information was leaked from the Dragon Palace, but who exactly leaked it is unknown to the Chuyun Sect, though it is speculated that someone with a dispute with Princess Long San may have disclosed it."

"And now the Alchemy Master Alliance is aware of this information and seems to be planning a response."

At this point, Wu Rang looked up and said.

"Sir, you must be careful."

Upon hearing this, Qin An tapped his fingers lightly against the saber hilt: "I see, you may leave now."

His words fell, and the murderous aura around him grew even more intense.
