Chapter 63: Chapter 61 Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill

"One should not let those who gather firewood for others freeze to death in the snow."

"I told this to Mr. Lu."

"But this doesn’t seem to be Mr. Lu’s handwriting, at least it does not look like his style of doing things."

Lin Yan knew that if Mr. Lu had prepared a Refining Essence Realm Cultivation Technique for him, he wouldn’t have done it in such a roundabout way.

Looking at the delicate handwriting in this book again, it must have been that woman’s doing.

He couldn’t help but think of the events of the afternoon.

He chuckled and whispered softly, "Is this what they call karma?"

He stripped off his clothes and began to soak in the medicinal bath.

And he carefully pondered over the Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill.

——

Dawn was breaking.

He had soaked all night, and unknowingly fell asleep in the second half of the night.

Even though his energy as someone in the Refining Essence Realm was more abundant than one could imagine.

But after so many days without rest, he was indeed a bit tired.

Name: Lin Yan.

Cultivation Technique: Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill (25/100)

Cultivation: Refining Essence Realm (654/3650)

Divine Power 1: Devouring Evil!

Divine Power 2: Demon Suppression!

Techniques as follows:

Thunder Blade First Layer (100/100)

Turning Paper into Horses (100/100)

Disguise Technique (67/100) +

Breath Concealment Technique (31/100) +

Evil Qi: 0

"Hmm?"

Lin Yan thought to himself, "I used 25 strands of Evil Qi to nearly reach minor accomplishment in the Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill... The cultivation from the first half of the night was equivalent to one medicinal bath."

One medicinal bath increases one point in cultivation, which is equivalent to one strand of Evil Qi.

One session of cultivation also increases one point in cultivation, which is equivalent to one strand of Evil Qi.

Based on this pace of progress, once he refined the Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill to the level of Perfection, each session of cultivation would be equivalent to the benefit of four strands of Evil Qi.

"With my talent, this speed is considered extremely fast."

"This means that this Cultivation Technique belongs to the upper echelons even within the Refining Essence Realm!"

"What’s more important is that this technique has its miraculous aspects!"

Lin Yan stood up and closed his eyes slightly.

His Qi-Blood circulated, and his muscles and bones crackled.

In an instant, his stature grew taller and he became burlier with bulging muscles.

Just approaching minor accomplishment gave him a sensation of a metamorphosis.

"When using the Divine Skill, strengthening my physical body, my strength seems to have increased by about 25 points!"

Lin Yan ceased using the Divine Skill, feeling the power within his body begin to retract.

His sturdy and formidable physique gradually returned to normal, again becoming tall and slender with fair features.

"If Evil Qi is used on a Cultivation Technique, deepening mastery of the technique, not only does it enhance the speed of cultivation, but it also allows the cultivation to become stronger in actual combat!"

"And it can be concealed normally, kept restrained within the body."

"That way, when benefiting from Evil Qi later on, instead of directly increasing my cultivation, I could first push the mastery of the Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill to Perfection."

Lin Yan had roughly made plans for the direction of his future cultivation, thinking to himself, "Normally, to fully comprehend and master a cultivation technique through intellect alone is not easy, fortunately, my Evil Qi can push forward my proficiency in cultivation techniques."

Just like now, as he comprehended the cultivation technique, approaching minor completion, he could increase his cultivation by one point each day.

Added to that, the medicinal baths could also increase his cultivation by one point.

With these thoughts, Lin Yan felt somewhat emotional and thought to himself, "My innate talent is excellent, and my understanding is decent. Even if it’s just the medicinal baths and practicing the cultivation technique, basically, I can gain two points of cultivation each day."

"If it weren’t for the Devouring Evil Divine Power, after reaching the Refining Essence Realm, it would take at least five years to achieve the peak of the Refining Essence Realm!"

"But the medicinal baths can’t be indulged in day and night; after all, they should be taken in moderation, so this speed will actually be much slower."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "No wonder Han Commander, at his advanced age, has still not been able to break through the peak of the Refining Essence Realm..."

Han Commander had reached the Refining Essence Realm at the age of forty-two and was now approaching the significant age of fifty.

He is currently at his prime, but if he cannot break through the peak in the next two years, he might face the embarrassing situation of his Qi-Blood declining and gradually weakening.

After that, it’s feared there’s no hope for a breakthrough!

As the General Flag Envoy of the Observatory, he is relatively wealthy, having regular access to medicinal baths and elixir pills to aid his cultivation.

An ordinary practitioner at the Refining Essence Realm might not have sufficient access to medicinal baths and elixir pills to assist in their cultivation.

Besides, the inventory lists for different medicinal baths, as well as the methods of preparation, along with the various elixirs’ refinement, all require experts who are deeply knowledgeable in these areas.

"If I didn’t have the Devouring Evil Divine Power, even if I had joined the Observatory, at best, I would only be at the blood-refining stage of martial arts, the second barrier."

"Even without undergoing marrow cleansing, not to mention reaching the Inner Strength Realm."

As Lin Yan considered this, he thought to himself, "In fact, my natural talent and physique aren’t poor; I’m almost as good as Han Commander, but I started my cultivation journey late... My early years of cultivation weren’t as good as Han Commander’s, who came from a prominent family in Qifeng Prefecture City."

"If not for the Divine Power within me, it would be difficult in this lifetime to touch upon the Refining Essence Realm; I would have no hope of catching up to Han Commander."

"But now... with the cultivation technique, medicinal bath benefits, and the support of Great Essence Boosting Pill, along with the Devouring Evil Divine Power, I should be able to catch up with Han Commander before winter!"

"It’s said that wealth aids in martial practice, and the path of cultivation consumes greatly. The noble clans and great families who possess more resources will naturally give rise to stronger individuals who stand above the rest."

While thinking thus, he took out a Great Essence Boosting Pill and swallowed it.

——

At the same time, at the city gates.

A middle-aged man stood with his hands clasped behind him, his attire luxurious.

Beside him were Deputy Commander Gu and Colonel Meng Lu at the city gates.

"Second Master Liu, are you inspecting the city gate defenses this early in the morning?" Deputy Commander Gu said helplessly, "Aren’t you in charge of affairs within the City Guard Mansion, not responsible for the city gate defense?"

"Just taking a look," Second Master Liu gazed down below and said calmly, "I came to see what I wanted to see; naturally, I’ll leave once I’ve seen it."

"..."

Deputy Commander Gu bowed slightly and said, "Please have a seat for a while; I need to check the city defenses from last night. I’ll be back in half an hour."

Second Master Liu waved his hand and said nothing more.

Deputy Commander Gu walked away and, looking towards Meng Lu, said, "Have someone bring tea and pastries; don’t mind other matters."

"What is he doing here today?"

Meng Lu couldn’t help but contemplate, "His arrival is strange."

Deputy Commander Gu said calmly, "Last night, Flag Commander Liang Hu of Qingshan Prefecture committed suicide."

Meng Lu was somewhat shocked, then said, "What does that have to do with him being here?"

"Externally, it’s said he died by suicide, but the actual truth is hard to say," Deputy Commander Gu said, "Not to mention that Liang Hu’s sister married into the Liu Family, what’s more important is that last night someone from the Liu Family, an elder who worked closely with Second Master Liu’s father and held a respectable position, made a suicide pact as well..."

"Last night, did Liang Hu have a confrontation with Master Wu Chang? And was someone from the Liu Family executed on the spot by Master Wu Chang?"

Meng Lu suddenly realized and said, "He suspects Master Wu Chang of committing murder?"

Deputy Commander Gu nodded and replied, "After all, Wu Chang has a notorious reputation for being ruthless."

Meng Lu frowned and said, "But Master left the city yesterday and has yet to return."

Deputy Commander Gu looked back, smiling, "But they think our city defense is so poor that we can’t see through the tricks."

Upon hearing this, Meng Lu’s expression grew even more sober.

"For example... they suspect that Wu Chang, the Flag Commander, entered the city hidden beneath a wagon?"
