Beauty Is Justice (Reset)

Although his Soul Power had not improved much, the Ghost Valley Breathing Technique had brought a leap in his cultivation speed—an increase of at least fifty percent.

Moreover, he could vaguely sense that the meridians within his body had become much more open.

Once he opened all Eight Extraordinary Meridians, his cultivation speed would only grow faster and faster.

Even his Soul Power would undergo a qualitative transformation. Qin Xuan believed that in less than two months, he would reach level fifty-five.

The higher one's Soul Power became, the harder it was to improve. At the Soul King stage, an ordinary Soul Master who could raise two levels in a year was already considered a genius. Three levels were even rarer.

Qin Xuan had broken through to level fifty-four a month ago.

In other words, he could raise at least four Soul Power Levels over the next year.

Combined with Vertical and Horizontal Swordsmanship, Qin Xuan could handle even a Soul Douluo with ease in the sealed world of Slaughter City, where Soul Skills could not be used.

After all, the power of Hundred-Pace Flying Sword and Eight Directions Throughstrike was no joke.

The former was known as "One Blade Cuts the Throat, Hundred-Pace Flying Sword," while the latter possessed power no weaker than the former.

They were killing swords within the Ghost Valley Vertical-Horizontal Sword Arts.

In terms of sheer spectacle, they might not compare to the powerful ten-thousand-year or even hundred-thousand-year Soul Skills of Douluo Continent.

But one had to remember that Soul Skills on Douluo Continent were all based on using Martial Souls.

The metal weapons used by Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, even if they were famed swords and rare weapons of the current age in Qin's Moon World, were still far inferior to the powerful weapon Martial Souls enhanced by Soul Rings on Douluo Continent.

If he could use the Everbright Sword to perform the combined attack of Hundred-Pace Flying Sword and Eight Directions Throughstrike—Vertical and Horizontal Alliance Strike—

Then, setting aside any huge gap in Soul Power, its might would likely be no weaker than the eighth or even ninth Soul Skills of those Titled Douluo.

Having obtained the Vertical and Horizontal Sword Technique and the Ghost Valley Breathing Technique, Qin Xuan was in high spirits as he opened the third blind box.

"What is this..." Qin Xuan's breathing suddenly quickened.

If the second blind box had given Qin Xuan enough confidence to achieve a hundred consecutive victories in Slaughter City, then the third one meant success was now guaranteed.

It was an enormous chrysanthemum. The flower was purple, its petals fluffy and without any fragrance. The pistil at its center rose half a foot above the petals. It looked perfectly whole, as though formed by nature itself.

Qin Xuan recognized its origins at a glance—it was the neutral immortal-grade medicinal herb, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Consuming it nourished the limbs, allowed the blood to flow through the eight meridians, strengthened the physique, and increased Soul Power.

It also consolidated one's foundation and nourished one's essence, with no side effects.

Perhaps it was not the Immortal Herb best suited for Qin Xuan, but it was what he needed most right now.

Slaughter City was simply too dangerous. Besides obtaining a hundred consecutive victories, he would also need to traverse Hell Road.

Not only would he have to contend with Soul Douluo-level experts during that time.

On Hell Road, he would also need to ensure that he killed the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent.

That Inner Core was simply too important to him.

To some extent, it even concerned his upper limit. They could discuss that later.

In short, every additional bit of strength would give him another measure of assurance of success.

Suppressing his impatience to consume and absorb it, Qin Xuan looked around, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, found an exquisite jade case for the Immortal Herb, and placed it into the Storage Soul Tool at his waist. Only then did he open the doors and windows and leave the room.

Although absorbing the Immortal Herb was urgent, doing so carried the risk of exposure.

If he encountered a Titled Douluo, his Soul Power Level would inevitably be exposed. He had no way to explain where the Immortal Herb had come from.

Before that, he should buy the two life-saving items, [Phoenix Fire] and [Thousand Faces]. Then he could draw the lottery.

While he was at it, he could mooch off his two bargain-bin teachers.

Maybe he could score a Soul Bone?

Even if its age was lower, it did not matter. As long as it increased his strength, that was enough. Besides, the roulette wheel could draw Soul Bone Replacement Cards. He refused to believe he would never draw one in his lifetime.

If he was lucky, perhaps he could mooch off Xiaogang as well.

Or pull a tiger's tooth from Qian Xunji's mouth.

He opened the shop and filtered for items below fifty thousand Emotion Points.

He selected [Phoenix Fire], which contained Soul Power and could ward off blades, spears, and miasma, for fifty thousand Emotion Points.

Then [Thousand Faces], which could alter one's appearance and aura, for ten thousand Emotion Points.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, he clicked purchase.

Red light and white light flashed in succession within the room. A bright red long robe and a white mask appeared one after the other out of thin air.

The air in Slaughter City was filled with trace toxins volatilized from Bloody Mary, while Hell Road was an even greater gathering place for poison.

This was also why Hu Liena had still been affected by Hell Road after Tang San removed the Bloody Mary toxins from her body in the original story. Her killing intent went out of control, and she nearly became a Fallen One.

Poisonous gas was also a type of miasma.

With [Phoenix Fire] to guard against miasma, his safety in Slaughter City would undoubtedly be greatly assured.

As for [Thousand Faces], it would help him hide his identity better and prevent Qian Xunji from making a move against him.

But what he truly needed to rely on was still his own strength.

"The style isn't bad." Qin Xuan put away Phoenix Fire and Thousand Faces, then opened the roulette wheel.

It showed that he had one draw available, with each draw costing one thousand Emotion Points.

The roulette wheel contained all kinds of bizarre items, from everyday necessities to Immortal Herbs, Soul Bones, Soul Ring Age Supplement Cards, and Soul Bone Replacement Cards. There were even some things that Qin Xuan, despite all he had read, could not make heads or tails of.

Qin Xuan directly tapped draw. A streak of white light flashed abruptly, appearing out of nowhere and landing before him. He reached out with his right hand, and a milky-white pill the size of a longan appeared in his palm.

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining [Youth-Preserving Pill]]

"This thing can be drawn too?"

Qin Xuan was somewhat surprised.

But he was even happier.

As its name suggested, the Youth-Preserving Pill allowed one to remain eternally youthful and never age in appearance.

With this thing, once he absorbed the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core in the future, he would not have to worry about turning into a red-haired delinquent.

Besides, becoming strong was only a matter of time, but being handsome was a matter for life. Beauty was justice, Qin Xuan comforted himself inwardly.

Qin Xuan walked to the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

As for his looks, there was truly nothing to criticize.

He stood nearly one meter ninety in bare feet, and just about one meter ninety after putting on shoes.

His long hair cascaded like a waterfall, his brows and eyes were dark, his nose straight, his lips thin, his features refined, and his skin fair. He had been born with a handsome face.

Combined with his tall build and long legs, he might not have been an unrivaled beauty, but he was undeniably good-looking and the more one looked, the better he seemed. The outline of his side profile seemed polished by mountain springs in a stream. So long as he did not wear a stern expression, he appeared gentle and clear.

Although Soul Masters did not age easily, who would not want to preserve their appearance at their most handsome?

His Martial Soul also contained the Vermilion Bird. Who knew whether consuming the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core would turn him into a delinquent like Ma Hongjun?

Even someone as powerful as Bibi Dong had her appearance frozen at around thirty in the original story. Though she was still beautiful, Qin Xuan had no desire to become a middle-aged man.

Without much hesitation, Qin Xuan flicked his finger, sending the Youth-Preserving Pill into his mouth. It melted as soon as it entered.

He did not feel anything unusual. He only felt a warm current flow through his body and spread into his limbs and meridians. His entire body shuddered, then quickly returned to normal.

"Am I eternally youthful already?" Qin Xuan narcissistically stroked his own cheek, smiled, left the room, and headed for Elder Hall.
