Cultivating in Different Professions

Chapter 169: Chapter 124: Shennong Hundred Herbs Sect

The word "Taiping" on the stone monument lit up completely, dazzling and brilliant.

"You’ve grasped a Realm?"

The old man didn’t even look at the stone monument. His eyes were locked on Su Mu, filled with delighted surprise.

"A prodigy! A true prodigy!"

He mumbled to himself, "To grasp a Realm in the Body Tempering Realm, and even reach the Body Tempering Extreme Realm..."

The old man looked thrilled.

"Master Wan, how are my test results?"

Su Mu asked.

He hadn’t expected that merely demonstrating the Kan Water Realm would make the old man so excited.

Plenty of people knew he had grasped a Realm before, but none of them had seemed this excited.

’Then again, that’s not quite right,’ he thought. ’They were actually quite worked up, too. Hu Gongxiu, for example, even sent a Blood Transformation Realm expert to kill me.’

"Results?"

The old man, Wan, glanced at the stone monument. "If this girl could exchange thirty percent of her blood, her strength would be about the same as yours right now."

Luo Anning’s expression stiffened. ’Why did he have to bring me into it?’

’Comparisons like this are really hurtful, you know.’

’Don’t I have any pride?’

Luo Anning shot Su Mu a resentful look, though she was secretly shocked.

She knew Su Mu was stronger than her now, but she hadn’t realized the gap was already this wide.

She had only managed to exchange ten percent of her blood so far.

’But...’

Luo Anning recalled Su Mu’s last strike—the Kan Water Realm—and it seemed like she was starting to understand something.

Luo Anning fell into deep thought. A watery light shimmered in her eyes, and her clothes began to flutter despite the lack of wind.

The old man, Wan, turned his head in surprise and couldn’t help but curse under his breath.

At his age, not many things could stir his heart anymore.

He never thought that two separate incidents in a single day would get to him like this.

A kid in the Body Tempering Realm who had comprehended a Realm and even reached the Body Tempering Extreme Realm was one thing.

But for a girl so pretty it was absurd to also have such heaven-defying comprehension!

’These geniuses are the most annoying! You never know when they’ll just have an epiphany!’

The old man, Wan, cursed, unaware that he himself was once a genius in the eyes of countless others.

Genius was merely the prerequisite for joining the Taiping Bureau.

But the gap between one genius and another was greater than the gap between a genius and a dog.

"The little girl is quite lucky. After seeing you use the Kan Water Realm, she’s actually had an epiphany. It looks like she’s about to comprehend the Kan Water Realm herself."

The old man, Wan, tried his best to maintain the dignified air of a senior, speaking in a composed tone.

But the twitching of his cheek revealed that his heart was anything but calm.

Among the Taiping Captains, it’s very common to have mastered a ’Force.’ Basically, every one of them has mastered two or more.

But those who can comprehend a Realm can be counted on one hand.

Even among the Taiping Captains, there are many who have yet to comprehend a Realm.

Comprehension is a mysterious thing. Just because your aptitude is good doesn’t mean your comprehension will be.

’For this little girl to comprehend a Realm right after starting her blood transformation... her future is limitless.’

Master Wan couldn’t help but sigh internally. ’I’m old. I really am old.’

He had striven his entire life, and his strength was considered top-tier within the Wuling City Taiping Bureau. But he was the type with superb aptitude and only average comprehension. To this day, he still hadn’t managed to comprehend a Realm, even though he had mastered several ’Forces’!

’Is this the difference?’

’That little girl has an epiphany just from watching someone else use it once. I watched too, but I didn’t feel a thing!’

’Damn this comprehension bullshit!’

Master Wan cursed in his heart.

"Don’t worry about her. It’ll be a while before she wakes up from this epiphany."

Master Wan beckoned Su Mu over and said, "Su the kid, do you have any thoughts on a Blood Exchange Technique?

"With your foundation at the Body Tempering Limit, even an ordinary Blood Exchange Technique would give you a six-fold effect.

"But that would be a waste of your incredible foundation.

"Among the Blood Exchange Techniques available to our Wuling City Taiping Bureau, the best one has an eight-fold effect. While that’s already a top-tier technique, I don’t think it’s worthy of you."

Su Mu blinked. The best Blood Exchange Technique in the Wuling City Taiping Bureau only had an eight-fold effect?

"At the Da Xuan Taiping Bureau Headquarters, there is a supreme Blood Exchange Technique with a nine-fold effect!"

Master Wan said, "Only a Blood Exchange Technique like that is worthy of your physique at the Body Tempering Limit."

"Master Wan, are there many Blood Exchange Techniques that can achieve a nine-fold effect?"

Su Mu blurted out.

"Of course not. There are only a handful of such techniques in the entire world."

Master Wan shook his head and said, "There’s our Taiping Bureau’s Nine-Turn Blood Transformation Technique, the Da Xuan Royal Family’s Qianyuan Blood Exchange Method, the Divine Weapon Pavilion’s Iron Blood Red Heart Blood Exchange Method, and the Shennong Hundred Herbs Sect’s Hundred Herbs Blood Exchange Method, among others. All told, you couldn’t count them on two hands.

"But if we’re talking about the strongest Blood Exchange Technique, it would have to be the legendary Xuanhuang Blood Exchange Technique.

"The Xuanhuang Blood Exchange Technique was once obtained by the Sect Leader of the Fragrance Sect, who used it to cultivate a body of Profound Yellow Blood, making him nearly invincible among those at the same realm. Unfortunately, after the Sect Leader of the Fragrance Sect died, the technique’s whereabouts became unknown."

Master Wan had a regretful look on his face.

Su Mu’s heart pounded in his chest, and his mouth felt dry.

’The Xuanhuang Blood Exchange Technique has such a grand origin?’

’The strongest Blood Exchange Technique?’

’By the way, what’s the story behind the person who gave me this cultivation technique? Were they from the Fragrance Sect?’

’But I don’t have any connection to the Fragrance Sect, do I?’

"The Xuanhuang Blood Exchange Technique is the best, especially that Profound Yellow Blood it creates. Its mysteries are no less profound than those of Physical Divine Techniques. But it’s nearly impossible to find now."

Master Wan didn’t notice Su Mu’s reaction and continued, "Only those with the Da Xuan Royal Family’s bloodline can cultivate the Qianyuan Blood Exchange Method; it’s useless for anyone else who obtains it. As for the techniques from the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the Shennong Hundred Herbs Sect, they are only passed down to their own True Disciples.
