Blood Toad Wood Caused Bloodshed

To send a master of the Profound Qi Sixth Level flying with a single palm strike, this was no ordinary person.

"Profound Qi Seventh Level!"

Cui Buping was surprised by Ning Xiaochuan. To reach the Profound Qi Seventh Level at such a young age, this was definitely a genius disciple from a major family. This was remarkable, and perhaps today would lead to great trouble! Cui Buping couldn't afford to offend a genius from a major family, but he was now in a difficult position. Giving up the Blood Toad Wood that was within his grasp was even more impossible.

This had become a bit tricky. This young man had actually reached the Profound Qi Seventh Level, making him very difficult to deal with!

Cui Buping was at the Profound Qi Eighth Level, but he knew that disciples from major families would cultivate Sword Martial Skills from a young age. Even if they were only at the Profound Qi Seventh Level, their combat power was not to be underestimated. If the opponent wanted to escape, he wasn't confident he could kill them.

"Everyone, listen up! Surround this place and absolutely do not allow the two of them to escape. I will go kill this kid." Cui Buping drew the Black Magnetic Ancient Sword from his waist, waved his arm, and the Profound Qi enveloped the Ancient Sword, emitting an eight-foot-long Black Light, displaying a powerful Profound Qi fluctuation.

"Profound Qi Eighth Level cultivation."

Ning Xiaochuan had never fought a Martial Practitioner at the Profound Qi Eighth Level before, and immediately became cautious.

A difference of one Realm meant a significant difference in power.

If it weren't for the "Profound Qi Sword" as a trump card, Ning Xiaochuan really wasn't confident he could defeat a Martial Practitioner at the Profound Qi Eighth Level. Now, he had to fight with all his might.

"Boom!"

Cui Buping stomped hard on the ground, causing the stone ground to sink. He flicked his arm, and the Battle Sword swung out, cleaving out nine Sword shadows, each striking towards Ning Xiaochuan's nine vital points.

Ning Xiaochuan naturally didn't dare to clash head-on with Cui Buping. He knew that he could only use the Profound Qi Sword once. If he couldn't successfully kill the enemy, then he would definitely be killed by the enemy.

Caution, he must be cautious.

He needed to find the most suitable opportunity.

"Chii!"

A sharp Profound Qi brushed past Ning Xiaochuan's neck, cutting off a strand of his hair. It almost severed Ning Xiaochuan's head.

Cui Buping naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. The Profound Qi in his body circulated faster, aiming for a quick battle to take down Ning Xiaochuan in one go.

Just as Cui Buping's Profound Qi reached its peak, Ning Xiaochuan suddenly stopped, and a killing intent also appeared in his eyes.

It was now.

When his Profound Qi reached its peak, Cui Buping would definitely pause for a moment to catch his breath! A moment's delay would give Ning Xiaochuan time to condense the Profound Qi Sword.

This single moment was the Time that would decide who lived and who died.

"Profound Qi Sword!"

Ning Xiaochuan's hands were both condensing Profound Qi, forming a Crimson Profound Qi Sword. He swung it horizontally, pulling out a large wave of red Sword light.

Cui Buping's eyes were filled with terror. He had never dreamed that a Martial Practitioner at the Profound Qi Seventh Level could condense a Profound Qi Sword.

"Bang!"

The Black Magnetic Ancient Sword in Cui Buping's hand was cut into two by the Profound Qi Sword. This kind of Common Weapon and Common Soldier Weapon simply couldn't block the Profound Qi Sword.

"Puff!"

The Profound Qi Sword neatly severed Cui Buping's legs. His upper body fell into a Pool of Blood, and he kept letting out mournful wails, his eyes filled with intense despair.

Even his legs were severed, which meant his fate today was sealed.

"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled..." Cui Buping muttered incessantly.

While Ning Xiaochuan and Cui Buping were fighting, Murong Wushuang had already gone and killed the more than ten martial practitioners from Profound Leaf Abode, throwing their bodies off the cliff.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, whoever is soft-hearted is destined to be soft for a lifetime.

Both Ning Xiaochuan and Murong Wushuang knew that the people from Profound Leaf Abode had to be killed, and killed completely. If even one escaped, the news of the Blood Toad Wood would spread.

Once those Martial Dao Experts rushed to Nanyue Mountain, with their power, they definitely wouldn't be able to protect the Blood Toad Wood, and ultimately both of them would die because of the Blood Toad Wood.

Therefore, everyone who knew about the Blood Toad Wood had to die, there was no other possibility.

Cui Buping stared at Murong Wushuang, his face pale and miserable, saying, "So you are also a Martial Dao Expert, and you also possess the cultivation of Profound Qi Seventh Level! If I had known your cultivation was so high, I should have brought a few more experts."

Murong Wushuang lifted the wood-chopping saber and said, "It's a pity that regret medicine is hard to buy!"

"Wait! I'm not the only one who lied to you."

Cui Buping pointed at Ning Xiaochuan and sneered, "Isn't he still coveting the Blood Toad Wood? If you kill me, he will definitely kill you too. He has already cultivated a Profound Qi Sword, you won't be his opponent."

Murong Wushuang's hand paused, and he glanced at Ning Xiaochuan.

Ning Xiaochuan still appeared very calm, saying, "I am different from you. He asked me to buy it, that's why I bought that leaf."

Murong Wushuang thought for a moment, and immediately felt his face flush.

Ning Xiaochuan said, "Besides, I used fifty thousand small coins to buy a piece of information about the Blood Toad Wood. This is already a quite fair price."

Cui Buping knew that he had no way out today, but he wanted to drag someone down with him, so he deliberately provoked conflict between Ning Xiaochuan and Murong Wushuang, and sneered, "Fifty thousand small coins to buy a Blood Toad Wood Tree, is this considered a fair price? The price of a Blood Toad Wood Tree definitely exceeds one hundred million small coins."

Ning Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "I can only offer fifty thousand small coins, no more. For an ordinary person, giving him too much money is not necessarily a good thing for him, and it might even bring him a fatal disaster."

Cui Buping said sinisterly, "But he is not an ordinary person."

Ning Xiaochuan said frankly, "Before entering Nanyue Mountain, I didn't know he had cultivated Profound Qi."

Cui Buping was silent. Yes! Before entering Nanyue Mountain, even he, an old hand at Profound Qi Eighth Level, hadn't seen that Murong Wushuang had cultivated Profound Qi, which meant that Murong Wushuang definitely possessed some method or Profound Weapon that could hide his cultivation.

Ning Xiaochuan treated him as an ordinary person and gave him fifty thousand small coins to buy a piece of information about the Blood Toad Wood. This was indeed quite considerate of him.

This amount of money was not small, enough for an ordinary family to use for three years. Of course, it was not a lot either, and it wouldn't bring him a fatal disaster.

This was the most commendable aspect of Ning Xiaochuan, not wanting to take advantage of the other party, and at the same time considering the other party's safety.

Cui Buping's heart was unwilling, not believing that there were people in this world who were not greedy, saying, "Lies, all lies... uh..."

"Pfft!"

Murong Wushuang swung his arm, chopping off Cui Buping's head with a single strike, and then threw his body off the cliff. "This guy talks too much nonsense. Brother Chuan, you are a good person."

Ning Xiaochuan said, "How can you tell I'm a good person?"

Murong Wushuang said, "I, Murong Wushuang, am a small-time hoodlum born in the marketplace. I've done a lot of stealing, swindling, and kidnapping. Although I'm not as smart as you, Brother Chuan, I can still distinguish between good people and bad people. I've decided to make you my friend. Of course, if you look down on a child from a poor family like me, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Ning Xiaochuan patted Murong Wushuang's shoulder and smiled, "To be honest, compared to a Blood Toad Wood, fifty thousand small coins really aren't much. The Blood Toad Wood is of great use to me and can help me quickly improve my cultivation. I must obtain it, and I must reach the Divine Body Realm within three months. How about this! I have a piece of Gold Thread Purple Wood, which contains the Earth Martial Essence Qi stored by a Martial Venerable. Its value is not much lower than a Blood Toad Wood. How about I give it to you in exchange?"

Murong Wushuang shook his head and said, "I already said I want to make you my friend. Consider the Blood Toad Wood a meeting gift for you. As for the Gold Thread Purple Wood, you should keep it yourself! I am a child from a poor family. If people knew I possessed such a treasure, I would definitely be lying dead on the street the next day."

"Alright. Then I will teach you a cultivation secret technique!" Ning Xiaochuan said.

Murong Wushuang's eyes immediately lit up. He grabbed Ning Xiaochuan's shoulders tightly with both hands and shook him excitedly, "Brother Chuan, you can't be lying to me. Cultivation manuals from large families cannot be passed down to outsiders. This is the foundation of a family's existence. If the elders in your family find out that you've passed a cultivation manual to an outsider, they will definitely send people to kill both you and me."

Ning Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "My family is very large, not just ordinarily large. There are many cultivation manuals. Aside from the most top-tier divine skill manual, other cultivation manuals should be able to be passed on to you."

The Sword Pavilion Marquis's Mansion had a vast foundation. Over several hundred years, they had attacked many religious altars and sects, and even slaughtered an evil dragon. Naturally, they had collected quite a few cultivation manuals. Ning Xiaochuan had seen several decent manuals in the Scripture Pavilion.

His memory was excellent, and he could still recall eighty to ninety percent of the content on those manuals.

Since they had already arrived at the location of the Blood Toad Wood, Ning Xiaochuan was not in a hurry to retrieve the wood. Instead, he found a stone slab and quickly wrote on it, transcribing a manual from memory.

"Swish swish!"

He used his finger as a pen, moving his fingertip extremely fast, and crushed stone powder continuously fell to the ground.

In less than half an hour, he had carved a martial dao cultivation manual onto the stone slab.

"Turtle Breath Immovable Skill." Murong Wushuang stared at the content on the stone slab, rubbing his hands together, incredibly excited. He hadn't expected Ning Xiaochuan to actually give him a cultivation manual.

This was a cultivation manual!

Many large families only possessed one cultivation manual, which was the foundation and inherited treasure of the family. It was impossible for it to be circulated. Even if it were, all those who knew about it would be eliminated.

Just like the largest family in Nanshan Village, the "Ye Family," they only possessed one cultivation manual, the Azure Leaf Divine Skill.

Only direct descendants of the Ye Family, or those who had sold themselves to the Ye Family, could learn the Azure Leaf Divine Skill.

But Ning Xiaochuan transcribed a cultivation manual without even blinking. Looking at the cultivation methods recorded in this manual, this was not an ordinary cultivation manual. It was definitely more profound than the Azure Leaf Divine Skill.
