Transforming a Fortune Artifact

"The Suihou Pearl has been cleaved in two!"

Zhang Xuezhou was pressed firmly against the tomb door.

He could see the immense power released by the Suihou Pearl. This power had a chilling stimulation, enough to stiffen a person's body, but also a gentle soothing effect, constantly restoring their body to normal.

The sword that flew out of nowhere not only severed Rong Tianding's supernatural Divine Ability to control his Rong Tianding and cut off half of his right hand, but also split the Suihou Pearl, which was placed on the ground, in two.

The immense aura not only ravaged Zhang Xuezhou and his companions, but also severely damaged the flying zombies.

Unlike them, Zhang Xuezhou and the others' gentle aura was destroying the flying zombies, while their cold aura was restoring their mobility.

"What a loss! What a loss!"

Looking at the flying zombie clutching the limp Red Empyrean Sword, Zhang Xuezhou murmured repeatedly.

In his mind, Yangling, which he called a cesspool, was extremely suitable for hiding things. Those who should have been beaten and made trouble were either dead or old, and the place had become a stinking and deadly dark place. The Red Empyrean Sword, an unpopular treasure, was extremely suitable to be stuffed here.

But Zhang Xuezhou didn't expect that the living people didn't bring trouble, but the dead did.

It would be quite difficult for him to reclaim the Red Empyrean Sword; perhaps only the Following Like a Shadow Technique could allow him to successfully steal it.

While there's still a chance to wrest the Red Empyrean Sword back from the flying zombie, the Suihou Pearl, cut in two, is unlikely to be retrieved.

"Cousin, how are you feeling? Can you still take control?" Zhang Xuezhou shouted.

"My body is in terrible pain, I can only hang here to stay alive for now," Rong Tianding said, pursing his lips. "I've really lost out this time!"

"As long as this guy is hiding in Yangling, we'll catch him sooner or later!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed to the retreating flying zombies.

The stone door behind them blocked their bodies, causing them to be pressed against the door and unable to move due to the impact. The flying zombie, on the other hand, had nothing to lean against and was constantly pushed back by the aura of the Suihou Pearl.

A defiant roar echoed from the darkness, and the flying zombie's figure grew increasingly dim, eventually making it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to discern its location.

"Without the Suihou Pearl, it would be quite difficult for us to get in and out of here," Rong Tianding said regretfully.

"It's just being cut into two pieces. There should still be some power left, enough for us to use," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"My cousin is so magnanimous!"

Over the past few years, Rong Tianding had done so much with the help of the Suihou Pearl. Seeing the Suihou Pearl cut open, he felt as if his heart had been pierced.

But Zhang Xuezhou's words of comfort put Rong Tianding at ease.

"Don't be discouraged, we'll get our hands back together later!"

"Luckily, I swallowed that old lotus root. Otherwise, if we had been held down like this by their auras, I would have bled to death!"

"The Nine Revolutions Qi Integration Technique has also come into play!"

The cut surface of Rong Tianding's severed arm was very intact, just like the wooden bed that Huo Qubing cleaved in two with his sword; the cut surface could be considered smooth.

Whether it was the severed hand or the incision on Rong Tianding's body, the incision was covered by a dense layer of blood vessels, without any sign of bone marrow leakage or gushing blood.

To be fair, they were a bit disheveled during the fight, but their ability to survive was never lacking.

An ordinary person would only be able to flee in a sorry state after being beaten to this extent. It would take until their injuries healed and they could call on three or five skilled friends to make a comeback. Zhang Xuezhou and his group, on the other hand, only needed to wait for the impact to end, pick up their arms, and reattach them to their bodies.

The combination of the Supreme Purity True Technique and the Nine Revolutions Harmony Technique, along with the added effects of the Spirit Silk Jade Lotus Root, is sufficient for them to cope with most injuries.

If the Nine Revolutions Qi Integration Technique could be extended to vital parts such as the head and heart, even if they were killed, they could recover as soon as they could put their heads back on their bodies.

"It's always best to listen to your cousin when it comes to spiritual practice!"

Rong Tianding nodded.

Rogue Cultivator lack most is not resources or inheritance, but rather a margin for error.

Just one mistake, Rogue Cultivator fall to the ground and can never get back up, only getting worse and worse, even if they were once geniuses, they can only become ordinary people.

Zhang Xuezhou and others repeatedly made mistakes but always rose through the ranks. Even when they lost an arm or a leg, they would only smile slightly, like an unbreakable piece of chewing gum that could keep moving forward.

Rong Tianding could only be thankful that his guide's path of cultivation was very accurate and suited their circumstances and situation.

"Once you attain Divine Ability, you can further develop the Nine Revolutions Qi Harmony Technique. When we have a large number of Life Creation Pills in the future, we can cultivate to a higher level and reach the top. That will be the truly carefree life," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Just thinking about being hacked to death and then getting back up gets me really excited," Rong Tianding said. "I've already thought of a hundred ways to ambush someone from behind!"

"You're really good at using sneak attacks," Zhang Xuezhou said.

Rong Tianding's physical condition was different from Zhang Xuezhou's, and the two used it in different ways.

Zhang Xuezhou echoed his agreement repeatedly, while also discussing how to leverage his own strengths in spiritual practice.

It wasn't that he and Rong Tianding were so idle; rather, Sui Houzhu's continuous attacks had left them unable to move.

Zhang Xuezhou could struggle forward, but his struggle was meaningless; he might as well wait until the power of Suihou Zhu was completely dispelled.

But as they waited, Rong Tianding's face began to turn pale. Zhang Xuezhou felt that the influence of Sui Houzhu had not yet dissipated, and it was still emanating two completely different auras.

It's unclear what Sui Houzhu went through to cause this endless trouble.

"I remember that when the Suihou Pearl was cut into two pieces, it seemed to be able to be transformed into a magical artifact!"

Unless someone is mentally ill, a normal person wouldn't think of destroying a treasure in its entirety.

Moreover, the opportunities for the instrument to play a role were limited, and Zhang Xuezhou never destroyed the Suihou Pearl.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't completely cut the Suihou Pearl either. After all, Zhang Xuezhou was impersonating Ying Fusu at the time, but he didn't have Ying Fusu's Tai'a Sword, and he hadn't tested the effect of the Yuchang Sword with lightning, so he couldn't completely cut the Suihou Pearl.

Only then did he obtain two Suihou Pearls in an unexpected fight.

"By the mandate of Heaven, may your life be long and prosperous!"

Zhang Xuezhou and shouted.

As the shout subsided, Suihou Zhu, lying on the ground, remained motionless.

This forced him to shout again.

When the shout was given for the third time, Zhang Xuezhou finally saw the eight large characters on the Suihou Pearl appear, as if they had exchanged a secret code.

"Receive!"

Zhang Xuezhou shouted, and as he activated his Law Power, the Suihou Pearl, now split into two pieces, appeared out of thin air in his palm.

My palm was covered in cold frost for a brief moment, and then it warmed up again.

This constant back-and-forth change sent a shiver down Zhang Xuezhou's spine.

Even steel struggles to withstand repeated hot and cold stimuli; how could Zhang Xuezhou's body withstand such erosion and repeated recovery, especially given the intensity of this impact?

After repeatedly striking his palm dozens of times, cracks began to appear.

Dense, fine blood vessels appeared, as if his body had developed a protective layer, or perhaps it had become a unique kind of spiritual silk lotus root. Zhang Xuezhou felt that his body's resilience was terrifyingly strong.

The bad thing is that Suihou Zhu's power is stronger, but the good thing is that it's not easy for him to get his own blood, and Suihou Zhu helped him complete the blood-getting process.

Following Emperor Qin's instructions, Zhang Xuezhou gripped and squeezed the Suihou Pearl in his palm, quickly smearing the blood onto it.
