Su Chen stared at the secret manual in his hand, his face full of surprise.
After giving it a quick scan, he discovered that the half-volume secret manual taken from Tian Boguang was actually an Imperial Book.
Perhaps Imperial Book was not quite the right term for this manual. More precisely, it could be classified as a dual cultivation manual.
Su Chen continued reading and quickly finished the half-volume fragment.
"If cultivated according to the methods recorded in this manual, the true qi produced upon completion will carry an aphrodisiac effect. To a certain extent, it can even influence other people's minds."
"No wonder so many women harmed by Tian Boguang would let him take whatever he wanted after falling victim to it, without offering the slightest resistance."
Only then did Su Chen begin to understand.
Immediately afterward, he fell into a dilemma.
"So, should I try cultivating this manual now?"
"Although mastering it will not greatly improve my strength, the aphrodisiac effect carried by this true qi may produce unexpected results."
Su Chen muttered to himself, subconsciously imagining scenes of fighting others.
Before the battle began, he could first slip some aphrodisiac true qi into his opponent, making their body burn and their mind unstable. Before they even exchanged blows, the opponent would lose at least twenty percent of their combat strength.
Thinking of it that way, Su Chen suddenly felt that this half-volume fragment had great potential.
"System, how many Martial Arts Points are needed to cultivate this half-volume fragment?" Su Chen silently asked the system in his heart.
That was right. The Martial Arts Points in his pay-to-win system could not only be used to cultivate martial arts produced by the system, but could also assist in cultivating martial arts obtained from the outside world.
Ding, beginning detection Detection complete This martial art is a fragment. It can be cultivated at most to the mastery realm and requires one hundred Martial Arts Points
"One hundred Martial Arts Points. Cultivate it."
Upon hearing that only one hundred Martial Arts Points were needed to cultivate it to the mastery realm, Su Chen did not hesitate in the slightest and directly decided to cultivate this Imperial Book fragment.
Right now, he was a rich man with a thousand Martial Arts Points. A mere hundred points were not worth caring about.
"System, consume one hundred Martial Arts Points to cultivate this fragment."
Ding, the host has consumed one hundred Martial Arts Points. The unnamed fragment has been cultivated to the mastery realm
In just a few breaths, with the support of Martial Arts Points, Su Chen cultivated the half-volume Imperial Book to the mastery realm.
He focused his mind and examined himself. With a single look, he discovered an additional strand of unusual true qi in his dantian. It was the aphrodisiac true qi derived from the half-volume Imperial Book.
At that moment, the aphrodisiac true qi was being suppressed by the true qi of the Hundun Treasure Mirror, too frightened to move. It was like a little yellow rabbit that had just been born, only to open its eyes and encounter a fierce tiger roaring through the mountains before it had time to grow, trembling in terror.
Unless Su Chen deliberately summoned it, this aphrodisiac true qi could not circulate on its own.
That was the dominance of higher-ranked true qi.
As everyone knew, the quality of true qi produced by Internal Energy cultivation methods of different levels also varied.
For famous martial arts methods such as the Yi Jin Jing and the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the true qi cultivated through them was unquestionably far stronger than common goods.
Even at the same cultivation realm and with the same amount of true qi, higher-ranked true qi still possessed crushing superiority over lower-ranked true qi.
The quality of one's true qi greatly affected a martial artist's combat strength.
This was also the most important reason why most martial artists in the martial world pursued superior divine arts so fervently.
But unfortunately, most superior cultivation methods were controlled by prestigious sects and various experts.
By comparison, the Hundun Treasure Mirror that Su Chen was currently cultivating could absolutely be considered the strongest divine art in this world, perhaps without equal.
This divine art came from the world of Legend of the Son of Heaven. It had been created by the ancient goddess Nüwa and specialized in the use of all kinds of energy. It was unfathomably profound, an absolute god-and-demon-level martial art.
Over the past three years since crossing into this world, Su Chen had poured most of the Martial Arts Points he obtained into cultivating this divine art.
Now, although he had only cultivated it to the fourth level, the Bixue Ice realm, the quality of his true qi had already reached a terrifying level.
This was also one of the important reasons why he could defeat martial artists of higher realms while at a lower realm himself.
After examining himself for a moment, Su Chen withdrew his focus and stopped paying attention to it.
"I'll find someone later and test the effects of this aphrodisiac true qi directly."
After muttering to himself, Su Chen turned more of his attention toward cultivation.
"I just used one hundred Martial Arts Points. Nine hundred remain."
"As for Internal Energy, the fourth level of the Hundun Treasure Mirror is completely sufficient for now. There is no need to improve it yet."
"As for cultivation, I am now at the middle stage of the Minor Grandmaster realm. That is still enough to deal with those people from the Five Great Sword Sects."
"So, it is time to raise the realm of the Unique Saber Technique as well."
With that thought, Su Chen directly recited in his heart, "System, use all Martial Arts Points to improve the Unique Saber Technique."
Ding, the host has consumed 900 Martial Arts Points. The Unique Saber Technique has been raised to the mastery realm
As the 900 Martial Arts Points were invested, the Unique Saber Technique reached the mastery realm in an instant.
A powerful saber intent suddenly burst forth from Su Chen's body.
In an instant, a fierce storm formed from saber intent swept through the small room.
Crack
The room suddenly went dark. The candle used for illumination had been severed by the saber intent storm.
Then, in the darkness, the sounds of objects being cut apart and shredded rose one after another.
When Su Chen withdrew his focus, suppressed the saber intent, and relit the candle, the room was already a complete mess.
There was almost nothing left intact.
Even Tian Boguang's headless corpse had been cut into several pieces by the saber intent storm.
Seeing this, Su Chen could not help but feel startled.
"The mastery realm Unique Saber Technique is indeed formidable. The saber intent I released unintentionally already has such power. If I erupted with my full strength, even Grandmaster Realm experts would likely suffer severe injuries."
Su Chen was extremely satisfied with the power of the mastery realm Unique Saber Technique.
Yet he did not know that, at that very moment, the Imperial Guards at the hundred-household station had already erupted into chaos.
It was already deep into the night. Captain Xing and the other Imperial Guards had long since fallen asleep and were sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, a violent noise accompanied by terrifying saber intent came from nearby.
Captain Xing immediately woke from his sleep. He did not even have time to dress, rushing from his room in only his underclothes with his Chunxiu sabre in hand.
When he reached the courtyard, he discovered that the other Imperial Guards under his command were all in the same state.
"What happened?" Captain Xing asked aloud. "Could a powerful enemy be attacking?"
The Imperial Guardsmen looked at one another, all wearing utterly bewildered expressions.
Seeing this, Captain Xing could not help but frown. If a powerful enemy truly had attacked, that would be disastrous.
In their current groggy state, they might not even know how they died before they were dead.
Just as he was about to continue questioning them, Su Chen's voice suddenly came from nearby.
"There is no need to be nervous. No external enemy attacked. I was merely testing my saber just now."
