Chapter 280 - 175: My Battle Style is Quite Brutal 2
“Furthermore, according to the Tower Spirit, Lu Yun’s Slaughter Conception is merely at the third rank and 30% effective, which is actually the most terrifying aspect.”
“Oh?” Lei Canghe’s hand trembled as he placed his chess piece: “How is that possible?”
“For an ordinary person, it would indeed be impossible, but if it happened to him, there wouldn’t be anything too shocking about it.” Ye Xingchen said, “For instance, who would’ve thought that a Level 5 Innate Talent like him could cultivate to the peak of the Transforming Origin Realm in just three short years and possess such frightening combat power?”
Lei Canghe pondered for a moment and said, “Master, some time ago, didn’t the Yuan Emperor issue an order for each Martial Academy to form a team to support the Demon Suppression Army in suppressing the external sects? How about letting Lu Yun go out and gain some experience?”
“Haha, our master-disciple pair really has a psychic connection.” Ye Xingchen said, “The matter of battling the external sects is of great importance. I wouldn’t be at ease with just Lu Yun alone. A powerful elder needs to take the lead.”
“Master must already have an idea in mind!”
Ye Xingchen nodded, “I’d like you to go on this journey. You’ve always been staying at the Martial Academy, so you haven’t had the opportunity to break through.”
“Alright.” Lei Canghe nodded lightly, as he actually had this idea in mind when he brought it up.
“Additionally, the war at the Narrow Line Sky battlefield will soon come to an end. Disciples like Fang Han, Su Mo, and your junior brother will be returning. At that time, you should guide them.”
“Junior Brother…” Lei Canghe hesitated for a while before nodding and saying, “Junior Brother’s talent is unmatched, but if his sights remain solely on the Spirit Martial Prefecture, it would be no help to his growth. He should also go out and witness the Heavenly Prides from other places.”
After leaving the Myriad Phenomena Tower, Lu Yun arrived at the Book Collection Pavilion.
“The Book Collection Pavilion, it’s been quite a while since I’ve been here.”
After allocating 10,000 Contribution Points to the elder in the Book Collection Pavilion, Lu Yun headed straight to the third floor.
Having previous experience in selecting cultivation techniques, Lu Yun directly sought out the jade walls with powerful inheritances to comprehend them.
Five hours later.
In Lu Yun’s mind, four more cultivation techniques appeared: the Red Sun Fist, Sea Breaking, Four Images Finger, and Shocking Thunder Emperor Finger.
He would use his fists for close combat and finger techniques for long-range attacks.
Moreover, Lu Yun comprehended two types of combat techniques from each category in order to integrate them into a higher level technique.
Satisfied, Lu Yun left the Book Collection Pavilion and went to the Pill Medicine Building.
After passing the Myriad Phenomena Tower’s 21st and 22nd floors, he gained an additional 29,000 Contribution Points. Deducting the 10,000 points spent in the Book Collection Pavilion, he still had 49,330 Contribution Points left.
This time, he planned to exchange all of them for pills.
“Greetings, Senior Brother Lu!
II
“Greetings, Senior Brother Lu!”
Seeing Lu Yun enter, the many disciples originally in the Pill Medicine Building greeted him one after another.
Lu Yun nodded with a smile, then went straight to the counter to exchange pills.
Today, the Pill Medicine Building seemed to be doing good business as the disciples were too busy to attend to everyone.
“Lu… Senior Brother Lu, what kind of pills do you want to exchange?” Seeing Lu Yun, a disciple from the Pill Medicine Building said excitedly.
“I’d like to exchange for some Fifth Grade pills. I don’t know if the Pill Medicine Building has any.”
“Ah… Fifth Grade pills!” The disciple was slightly surprised before saying with a bitter smile, “Pills of Fifth Grade and above are handled personally by Elder Huang, and we can’t process them.”
“Elder Huang?” Lu Yun frowned. “Then, Elder Huang is not in the Pill Medicine Building.”
“He is, he is. I’ll take Senior Brother Lu to see Elder Huang right now.”
Under the guidance of this Pill Medicine Building disciple, Lu Yun followed him to the third floor.
Elder Huang had a tuft of beard on his chin and looked to be about forty years old. Seeing Lu Yun, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“Lu Yun? What is it that you need to find me for?”
“Greetings, Elder Huang. This disciple is planning to go out for training and needs to exchange for some healing and True Origin restoration pills.” Lu Yun saluted with cupped fists.
Elder Huang took a sip of tea and said, “Oh, tell me what pills you need and how much you want to exchange.”
“Three bottles of Spiritual Jade Pills, one bottle each of Resurrection Pills and Origin Extreme Pills.”
“Pfft!”
Upon hearing this, Elder Huang directly spat out the tea in his mouth that he hadn’t swallowed yet, his eyes wide in surprise, “What did you say? Say it again. I didn’t hear clearly just now.”
“Three bottles of Spiritual Jade Pills, one bottle each of Resurrection Pills and Origin Extreme Pills.” Lu Yun said seriously.
Elder Huang carefully looked at Lu Yun and pondered, “Do you know what an Origin Extreme Pill is?”
“Yes,” Lu Yun nodded. “The Origin Extreme Pill is a top-tier Level 5 pill, and just one can instantly restore a martial artist’s True Origin to its peak in the Origin Fluid Realm. At the same time, it also has a certain chance of causing backlash.”
“Since you know about it, why do you want to exchange it for the Origin Extreme Pill? Not to mention how expensive it is, the backlash alone is not something ordinary people can bear.”
“When compared to life, nothing else is important.”
Elder Huang nodded slightly, “Indeed, life is the most important thing when you’re out and about, especially for someone like you with heavenly talents. You should prepare more healing and recovery pills.
However, my suggestion is to only prepare one or two Origin Extreme Pills. The best choice in comparison is the Poria Blue Pill.”
Lu Yun shook his head, “For healing pills, Spiritual Jade Pills and Resurrection Pills are enough.”
The Poria Blue Pill is a healing pill, and regardless of the extent of the injuries sustained by martial artists at or below the Origin Fluid Realm, as long as they take it in time, their injuries can be instantly repaired.
However, compared to the Origin Extreme Pill, the Poria Blue Pill is more expensive, costing 32,000 Contribution Points for a bottle.
As for the Origin Extreme Pill, it only requires 31,000 Contribution Points.
Lu Yun had taken both Poria Blue Pills and the Origin Extreme Pill before, and they both provided the same amount of energy – 3,000 energy points each.
Seeing Lu Yun insisting him like this, Elder Huang didn’t try to persuade him any further.
People with exceptional talents like Lu Yun have their own opinions, and once they make a decision on something, they cannot be swayed by others.
Elder Huang was well aware of this point, so he immediately got up to fetch the pills.
“The Spiritual Jade Pill is a Level 4 pill, each bottle costing 2,100 Contribution Points; so three bottles amount to 6,300 Contribution Points. The Resurrection Pill is a common Level 5 pill, costing 10,000 Contribution Points; and the Origin Extreme Pill, a top-tier Level 5 pill, each bottle costs 31,000 Contribution Points; for a total of 47,300 Contribution Points.”
Elder Huang took out the pills and handed them to Lu Yun. Sighing, he said, “You’re probably the only one in the entire Martial Academy who uses so many Contribution Points to exchange for healing and True Origin recovery pills.”
“My fighting style is quite rough and consumes a lot of True Origin, so I have to prepare more recovery pills,” Lu Yun explained with a smile, handing his token to Elder Huang.
After deducting 47,300 Contribution Points, he was left with only 2,030 Contribution Points.
“I’ll take my leave now, Elder Huang!”
Lu Yun bowed and left.
Watching Lu Yun’s disappearing figure, Elder Huang couldn’t help but bitterly smile, “The difference between a once-in-a-lifetime talent and ordinary geniuses is not just in their talent but also in their unique style.”
As soon as Lu Yun left the Pill Medicine Building, he suddenly remembered something – that he hadn’t collected his cultivation resources for a long time.
He turned right out of the building and arrived at the resource distribution area of the Internal Affairs Hall.
Today wasn’t the day for resource distribution, so there were hardly any people here, only three Martial Academy disciples.
However, their strength was not bad, they had already reached the Transforming Origin Realm. Judging by their weary appearances, they seemed to have just returned from completing an outside mission.
“I’ve emphasized this more than once: unless it’s a specific resource distribution day, I won’t be responsible. Haven’t you all remembered?” said the black-robed steward impatiently.
“Haha, Supervisor Yang, we will pay attention next time,” the three disciples apologized with a smile.
“Humph, I’ve heard that from you guys at least ten times,” Supervisor Yang rolled his eyes but still distributed the cultivation resources to them.
Who could blame them? All three were talented disciples of the Star Palace. If it was an ordinary disciple, they probably wouldn’t even be able to see him.
“Eh, Lu Yun?” One of them put away his spirit crystal, turned around, saw Lu Yun, and exclaimed.
“Greetings, Senior Brother,” Lu Yun smiled and greeted with a bow.
He didn’t know the other party, but he couldn’t skimp on politeness.
“Lu Yun?” The other two Star Palace disciples looked over as well, surprise showing in their eyes.
During this period, Lu Yun’s reputation had become even more illustrious, not only as a representative of heavenly talents but also as a symbol of strength.
Outside the Great Wilderness Major City, he single-handedly slaughtered thousands of Demon Beasts, even killing a Level 5 peak Demon Beast.
With that strength, he firmly stood at the peak of Spirit Martial Prefecture’s younger generation.
The black-robed steward also noticed Lu Yun and quickly said with a smile, “Nephew Lu, it’s been a long time since you last collected your cultivation resources. Let me see how much you have accumulated.”
He then hurriedly checked the distribution records.
The three Star Palace disciples couldn’t help but smile bitterly at the sight..
