Chapter 53: Everything is Ready, Just Awaiting the Favorable Wind!

“Alright,” Li Hongzhuang agreed.

“However, both the Divine Power Realm martial arts and the Secret Marrow cultivation technique are in my mind.”

“Just wait a moment, 1 will write them down for you.”

Li Hongzhuang contemplated for a moment, and quickly agreed to Lu Changsheng’s request.

“No need to go through the trouble. You can dictate them,” Lu Changsheng said calmly.

Li Hongzhuang was skeptical, “You can remember all that?”

The content of the Secret Marrow cultivation technique and the Divine Power Realm martial arts was not insignificant. Especially the Divine Power Realm martial arts, with five layers, amounted to a considerable amount of text.

However, for Lu Changsheng, it wasn’t a difficult task. He had already memorized it by sight, and his comprehension level exceeded 500 points, making it almost effortless to understand the intricate Secret Marrow cultivation technique.

She began by dictating the Secret Marrow cultivation technique.

This Secret Marrow cultivation technique was called the “Bone Permeating Technique” and consisted of around two to three hundred words. While it was not lengthy, it was cryptic and hard to grasp, which made it challenging to commit to memory.

But for Lu Changsheng, it was not a problem. He had previously seen it, and with a comprehension level exceeding 500 points, the cryptic Bone Permeating Technique was nearly understood after a single hearing.

Next was the Divine Power Realm martial arts, known as the “Mountain Range Stacking Divine Power Art.” Its meaning was that it was as immense and powerful as a series of mountain peaks.

This Divine Power Realm martial art was divided into five layers. While Li Hongzhuang’s speech pace wasn’t fast, it was challenging for anyone to remember such an extensive text in such a short period.

Once Li Hongzhuang had finished, she observed that Lu Changsheng hadn’t shown any reaction and asked, “Thirteen Brother, do you need me to repeat it?”

Lu Changsheng lifted his head and looked at Li Hongzhuang, shaking his head, “There’s no need for repetition; I’ve already memorized it.”

“However, you didn’t seem to complete the descriptions of the Bone Permeating Technique and the Mountain Range Stacking Divine Power Art. Both the technique and martial art are incomplete.”

Lu Changsheng’s words surprised Li Hongzhuang, as she thought Lu Changsheng was merely pretending.

But he not only remembered them but also realized that both the technique and martial art were incomplete.

What kind of formidable memory and comprehension was this?

Li Hongzhuang nodded and responded, “You’re right. The technique and martial art are indeed incomplete. I haven’t revealed the subsequent content. If Thirteen Brother manages to visit the Cui family and obtain the Secret Marrow Elixir, I will naturally provide the remaining information about the technique and martial art.”

Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, fixing his gaze upon Li Hongzhuang.

Li Hongzhuang bore deep-seated vengeance, and as a lone traveler in the martial world, she had learned various means of self-preservation.

The reason she retained part of the technique and martial art was not just for the sake of acquiring the Secret Marrow Elixir.

As long as Lu Changsheng hadn’t acquired the complete Secret Marrow cultivation technique and Divine Power Realm martial arts, he had to ensure Li Hongzhuang’s safety. After all, if Li Hongzhuang died, even with the Secret Marrow Elixir, it would be of no use.

However, Lu Changsheng didn’t feel anger toward her. Li Hongzhuang’s actions were a matter of common sense, and in the martial world, caution was essential, and trust was hard to come by.

Moreover, he had carefully examined both the martial arts and the technique, and there was nothing suspicious about them. This indicated that they were indeed the authentic Secret Marrow cultivation technique and Divine Power Realm martial arts.

“What if there’s only one Secret Marrow Elixir?” Lu Changsheng inquired again.

Li Hongzhuang seemed to be avoiding this topic, as she hadn’t mentioned it proactively. But Lu Changsheng wouldn’t avoid it, and he wanted to establish this agreement in advance to prevent potential conflicts later.

Li Hongzhuang clenched her teeth and said, “If there’s only one Secret Marrow Elixir, it will belong to whoever obtains it.”

Lu Changsheng nodded.

In reality, the probability of there being only one Secret Marrow Elixir was quite low. The Secret Marrow Elixir was produced as a batch of thirteen, and since not much time had passed, the Cui family was unlikely to have used more than one or two elixirs. There was no reason for there to be just one left.

“Alright, I agree to this.”

“When do we set off?” Lu Changsheng asked.

Li Hongzhuang was slightly relieved and pondered for a moment before replying, “My injuries haven’t fully healed yet, so I will inform Thirteen Brother once they are. Furthermore, I need to keep a close watch on the Cui family since my last attempt alerted them. I want to ensure everything goes smoothly. Thirteen Brother, please be patient. One month from now, you can come to this courtyard, and we’ll decide whether to proceed to the Cui family.”

Lu Changsheng nodded, “I’ll come back in a month.”

With that, Lu Changsheng didn’t hesitate and immediately turned and left, disappearing into the night.

Lu Changsheng didn’t blindly trust Li Hongzhuang’s words. Instead, he began inquiring about the Cui family of Giant Stone City and the affairs of the Sword Suspension Villa.

Giant Stone City wasn’t too far from Nanyang City, and information from various merchants and travelers traveling to and from was available.

The Sword Suspension Villa was even more well-known, with a Divine Power Realm martial artist overseeing it. Its influence was significant, and even casual inquiries in the martial world would yield a wealth of information about the Sword Suspension Villa.

However, the information that Lu Changsheng heard was still relatively superficial. Sensitive information like the Cui family successfully producing a batch of Secret Marrow Elixirs was unlikely to be found in the martial world.

Next, Lu Changsheng inquired about the Li family of Giant Stone City and, indeed, he managed to get some information. The Li family had been annihilated in a single night ten years ago, a significant event in Giant Stone City.

After all, the Li family was not weak in Giant Stone City, and hearing the information, there seemed to be a match between what Li Hongzhuang had said and what he had learned.

All members of the Li family had perished, and only the youngest daughter had disappeared. Even though her name wasn’t Li Hongzhuang, that was reasonable. Li Hongzhuang was just an alias, and if the Cui family had known her real name, they would have hunted her down a long time ago.

“Publicly, the Cui family has thirteen Divine Blood Realm martial artists.”

“Among them, nine are their own Divine Blood Realm martial artists, and the remaining four are martial artists from the martial world that the Cui family has enlisted, serving as their protectors.”

“At the peak of the Divine Blood Realm, the Cui family has three martial artists, and the enforcers have two. They are all top-notch experts who have slain other top-level Divine Blood Realm martial artists.”

“No wonder Li Hongzhuang must become a Divine Power Realm martial artist to seek personal vengeance. With the power of the Cui family, even a top-level Divine Blood Realm martial artist would have a hard time seeking vengeance.”

Lu Changsheng had now roughly understood the strength of the Cui family, which was indeed formidable.

In the context of Nanyang Prefecture, apart from those with Divine Power Realm martial artists, the Cui family’s strength wasn’t inferior to any other force.

However, Lu Changsheng wasn’t too concerned. He didn’t fear anyone as long as they were Divine Blood Realm martial artists.

In the blink of an eye, one month had passed.

Lu Changsheng opened his attribute panel.

Host: Lu Changsheng

Comprehension: 558 (Hidden Dragon in the Abyss)

Silkthread Sword: Perfect

Spring Wind Rain Cultivation Technique: Third layer

Nine-Syllable Thunder Mantra: Perfect (Incomplete)

Lu Changsheng’s Silkthread Sword was already perfect, and surprisingly, it had reached the seventh-rank martial technique, which was somewhat beyond his expectations. Initially, he thought the Silkthread Sword would at most be a sixth-rank martial technique, but it had reached the seventh rank.

This made it two ranks higher than the Lightning Assassination Technique.

Lu Changsheng estimated that this was because the Silkthread Sword could release its vital energy and blood externally, forming a pervasive and overwhelming energy and blood sword. Who could withstand it?

In terms of power, it was indeed much stronger than the Lightning Assassination Technique.

With a perfected Silkthread Sword by his side, Lu Changsheng felt more confident about going to the Cui family.

As for the Spring Wind Rain Cultivation Technique, it was his third cultivation technique. This martial art consisted of six layers, and when perfected, it would likely lead to an extraordinarily robust internal organ system.

After all, he had been strengthening his internal organs for some time with the Nine-Syllable Thunder Mantra, which had significantly accelerated the process.

Everything was prepared, and now he just needed the “favorable wind” – the Secret Marrow Elixir from the Cui family.

“One month has passed. 1 wonder how well Li Hongzhuang has prepared?” Lu Changsheng calculated the time, and the agreed-upon date was today.

In the evening, Lu Changsheng donned black attire, and then he pushed open the door and disappeared into the night shortly after..
