Situ Qinglong was sweating profusely, and the veins on his neck bulged like writhing dragons, spreading across his face and forehead, making him look terrifying, a result of excruciating pain.
Consecrator Li smiled; he most wanted to see Situ Qingyun meet his demise.
"Your Excellency, even if Situ Qingyun is practicing an entry-level Breathing Technique, it's hard to guarantee that what he says about the Breathing Technique is complete. As far as I know, some essential points of Breathing Technique can be completely different depending on the word, which can easily lead to mistakes in cultivation, causing one to suffer from qi deviation. At best, one's cultivation will regress, and one will be completely crippled and reduced to an ordinary person who will need someone to take care of them in daily life. At worst, one will die on the spot."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian couldn't help but look at Chu Feng and say, "What this old man said makes sense."
"That makes a lot of sense." Chu Feng continued, crushing another of Situ Qingyun's fingers.
Situ Qingyun's face changed rapidly, his expression shifting like a rainbow, as he roared, "Your Excellencies, I, Situ Qingyun, Heart Demon Great Oath: if I do not fully reveal the Ranked Breathing Technique, may I, Situ Qingyun, die a violent death!"
The next moment, blood spilled from Situ Qingyun's mouth, a red light flashed, and a drop of blood miraculously flew out and disappeared into the void.
Then strange and mysterious symbols appeared, forming a bizarre and mysterious magic circle that enveloped Situ Qingyun.
Consecrator Li's expression changed drastically.
"The legendary Heart Demon Great Oath! It's actually true!"
Xiao Tian, dumbfounded, echoed Chu Feng's crude words.
" Brother Tian, this seems to be somewhat reliable."
"It seems there's some truth to it." Xiao Tian couldn't help but look at Consecrator Li and say, "Old man, now our scales are tipping in favor of Eldest Young Master Situ again."
Consecrator Li was trembling with anger and was about to unleash his trump card!
"My lords, I consider myself poor and lack any advanced Breathing Technique. I also have few high-quality Gene Enhancement Liquid that would meet your standards. However, Miss Ying values talent and is secretly recruiting widely. As far as I know, Evolver like me is only a low-ranking individual under Miss Ying's command. If you two were to join us, Miss Ying would certainly not treat you unfairly; you might even receive higher and better Breathing Technique, because..."
"Our Miss Ying is the inheritor of the Spirit Secret Treasury!"
"What!" Situ Qingyun's eyes narrowed, his expression one of horror.
"Oh wow, Fengzi! This Spirit Secret Treasury sounds quite impressive. We've stumbled upon a big secret." Xiao Tian's eyes gleamed, but inwardly he was disdainful.
" Eldest Young Master Situ, what's the secret Spirit Secret Treasury? If you don't want your finger to suffer another comminuted fracture, you'd better talk it over," Chu Feng said with a smile to Eldest Young Master Situ.
Situ Qingyun was trembling with fear, his eyes fixed on Consecrator Li.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
" Spirit Secret Treasury that has stirred up the Evolver World for five hundred years! A peerless skill that has gathered the expertise of numerous renowned sect leaders and masters—how could it possibly fall into the hands of that foolish woman confined to a wheelchair!"
"Impossible!"
Consecrator Li couldn't help but sneer, " Situ Qingyun, our Miss Ying is exceptionally talented. She can stand upright and walk freely long ago. Miss Ying has endured until now for a grand plan! If it weren't for her Spirit Secret Treasury, do you think we would be so subservient to her and work for her?"
"That's not right. Didn't you guys ever think of killing Miss Ying to obtain the Spirit Secret Treasury?" Xiao Tian expressed his doubt.
"Indeed, if that stupid girl were to obtain this Spirit Secret Treasury, she would tell this old man!" Situ Qingyun couldn't help but sneer.
Consecrator Li's expression was gloomy as he sneered, "That's because I secretly witnessed some of what happened once, and after some deduction, I realized that Miss Ying obtained the inheritance of the Spirit Secret Treasury. This is because Miss Ying cultivates the Soul, Return Technique, which was lost for a thousand years and was practiced by the Heavenly Maiden Ba! It is also because of this that Miss Ying's leg nerves were able to recover, allowing her to walk."
" Eldest Young Master Situ, what do you say?" Chu Feng threatened, pointing Situ Qingyun's finger at him.
Situ Qingyun's face was extremely grim as he said, "Legend has it that a thousand years ago, there was a mysterious and influential figure, like Banished Immortal immortal descending to earth, who swept across the Evolver World. Her name was Heavenly Maiden Ba, and the Breathing Technique she cultivated was called 'Soul, Return!' This Breathing Technique is not well recorded, with only one sentence: 'Soul, Return! Spirit and flesh unite, thought and incantation arise, a single thought is immortal, soul and flesh endure forever, that is, eternal life.'"
"Wow, that's amazing! So how did the Heavenly Maiden Ba finally die?"
"Legend has it that the Heavenly Maiden Ba shattered the void and ascended to the mysterious Immortal Realm, leaving behind a forbidden zone containing a lineage of Dao. It was once obtained by Tianxuzi, a former disciple of Mount Longhu, who risked his life to break through it. Originally, his Heart Source was injured, his ultimate skills were destroyed, and his lifespan was not much longer, but he actually lived for fifty years longer, sweeping across the world. Later, he was besieged and destroyed by many powerful beings in Kunlun, the land of ten thousand gods," Situ Qingyun said.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but chuckle. So Weaken?
"Really?" Chu Feng was skeptical. Before the cataclysmic changes in the world, he wouldn't have believed it at all and would have just listened to a story. But now...
Situ Qingyun shook his head and said, "After all, it's just a legend. I've never seen it. So many things are passed down orally and recorded, becoming more and more mythical."
"That makes sense." Xiao Tian stared at Consecrator Li.
Consecrator Li's face was grim; he was prepared for a fierce battle.
"Old sir, I think you're right. What kind of entry-level Breathing Technique is this? Does this Xiao Bai's Breathing Technique even deserve to be compared to mine and Fengzi's? It will only limit our potential! Since Breathing Technique determine our potential, how did Breathing Technique even come about? Didn't someone create them? In that case, Fengzi and I will create our own Breathing Technique!"
" Fengzi, do you even have confidence?!" Xiao Heavenly Eye intently at Chu Feng.
He hopes the Fengzi won't be so focused on short-term gains that he loses sight of his potential.
Chu Feng met Xiao Tian's bright, starry eyes and saw the direction ahead.
" Brother Tian! It's just Breathing Technique! The only thing that suits you is to create your own!"
Situ Qingyun's face darkened, and he scoffed inwardly, "What a pair of fools with wild ideas! Back then, wasn't I also full of youthful vigor, wanting to create my own Breathing Technique, the one most suitable for me? But is creating Breathing Technique so easy? Even the most ordinary Breathing Technique requires observing all things and determining its suitability based on the human body's organs, tissues, and the eight extraordinary meridians."
Consecrator Li smiled and said to Xiao Tian, "Your talent is extraordinary; you are destined for great things."
"Hehehe! Old man, you're very kind. When your partner arrives, bring the Gene Enhancement Liquid. I want to see how effective this thing for enhancing Evolver is."
"Rest assured, I will absolutely satisfy you!"
Twenty minutes later, one of the Consecrator Gong who had fought returned with the box.
" Old He disposed of it?"
The Consecrator Gong nodded and smiled, "It took a lot of effort. Fortunately, Xiao Han and the others were sensible and believed me, so they didn't make a move. Otherwise, with all those armed guys aiming their firearms at the same time, I definitely wouldn't have fared well either."
"Damn it! Consecrator He!" Situ Qingyun in grief and indignation; that was a direct descendant of the emperor.
" Situ Qingyun, you're finished." Consecrator Gong sneered, put down the box, and violently opened it.
"Sir, there are a total of 300 bottles of Gene Enhancement Liquid here! Among them, 100 are of high quality!"
Xiao Tian chuckled, "Let's put that aside for now. I heard you also have Gene Enhancement Liquid for Evolver. Let me see it."
The Consecrator Gong's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Old Li beside him.
Consecrator Li nodded to Old Gong, Old Gong looked pained and could only take out a round Tiezhu cylinder from his pocket.
Open the opening, and you'll find a small bottle of liquid inside.
The liquid shimmered with a golden luster, quite mystical, and undoubtedly far more sophisticated than the Gene Enhancement Liquid inside the box.
"It looks good, but I wonder how effective it is."
The Consecrator Gong said, "The effect is excellent; otherwise, I wouldn't have kept it, reluctant to drink it, intending to use it when my cultivation level is higher to break through the bottleneck."
" Old Gong, we need leverage right now. Only by eliminating Situ Qingyun can we help Miss Ying advance further."
Upon hearing Old Li's words, the Consecrator Gong's lips twitched, his heart aching with pain. This was not feigned; he genuinely felt sorry for him.
" Old Gong, what are you hesitating for!"
"Tsk tsk, looks like a good thing. We need to examine this quickly, otherwise our balance will tip in Situ Qingyun's favor, and then we'll have no choice but to become your enemies."
"I'll kill you all!" Xiao Tian's tone suddenly turned icy cold.
Consecrator Gong frowned. He had exhausted himself fighting Old He. Although he only had one Evolver in front of him now, the young man beside Xiao Tian, though not Evolver, was still not easy to deal with. Moreover, Xiao Tian was able to capture Situ Qingyun, so he must have some tricks up his sleeve and should not be underestimated.
"Fine."
The Consecrator Gong sighed, opened the bottle, and immediately a refreshing fragrance wafted out.
"Good heavens! This is definitely something good!" Xiao Tian looked at Chu Feng.
Chu Feng couldn't help but nod. The scent alone warmed his body, and a kind of energy circulated freely within him, making his strength seem to have increased slightly.
If you were to drink this, the effects would be indescribable!
" Old Gong, you go first..." Xiao Tian's face immediately darkened, and he cursed, "Old sir, you really know how to take advantage of people with your name. Luckily, I'm not a woman."
The Consecrator Gong's face darkened. This surname was given to him by his parents; who cared what it was?
"Old sir, please have a sip first. If there are no problems, I'll try it. If it's acceptable, then our deal is done. What Breathing Technique? Nothing beats Gene Enhancement Liquid."
"Sir, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Consecrator Gong took a sip, and immediately, a radiant glow appeared on his pores, a level completely different from the Gene Enhancement Liquid in the box.
That was amazing!
Xiao Tian couldn't help but marvel and clapped his hands. Of course, he was completely calm inside. After all, he had seen all sorts of things, from Chaos God Materials to Saint Pills made from the flesh of the living dead. He could even refine the original body. What were these child's play compared to that?
" Brother Tian, it looks real, amazing!" Chu Feng noticed that after Consecrator Gong took the Gene Enhancement Liquid, his face, which had been Weaken from the battle, became rosy and full of energy.
"It is indeed a good product, sir, but just to be on the safe side, let's wait another half a day, or a day, in case you experience adverse effects from the poison."
The two worshippers were speechless.
"We admire your caution. We'll wait another day then."
One day later! The Consecrator Gong was fine, full of energy, and in even better condition.
Xiao Tian and Chu Feng were both upset, because Fatty Zhou Quan had vanished!
Having obtained the specially made Gene Enhancement Liquid, Xiao Tian said to Chu Feng, "Bring me some mineral water."
"What are you doing? Don't dilute it, it'll be a waste." Chu Feng's expression changed.
"How can you drink it without diluting it? What if you choke to death?" Xiao Tian said irritably.
Upon hearing this, Chu Feng felt a warm feeling wash over him.
" Brother Tian, there's no need, you've had your drink."
"Damn it! Hurry up and go! I'm more afraid of getting into trouble myself than of both of us getting into trouble!"
Chu Feng remained silent.
