Chapter 89: Will it expire?

  "Take a rest for a day, and when the time comes, investigate carefully first. No matter what, we must take down one of them and continue advancing." Wu Ya's eyes flashed as he spoke, but in reality, he had no confidence at all. He truly didn't know how many terrifying magical beasts were hidden within the Misty Mountains. If they encountered a mid-5th stage beast, it would be best to retreat first. As for 6th stage beasts, he could only pray that they wouldn't notice him. The only hope lay with the Swallowing Heaven Sword, which would automatically activate when close to a divine soldier or sword spirit. Getting closer might bring some hope.

  Found a secluded spot, Wu Ya wrapped his whole body in bear skin, covering up the human aura that was unique to him.

  The vital energy circulated and adjusted his body, after feeling good he fell asleep soundly. Of course, it was relatively sound, if there was danger, he would jump up at the first moment, this had been trained since the first time entering the Misty Mountains.

  It seemed that after a day, Wu Ya adjusted his state to the best and then proceeded to explore. He soon found the lord of the next land, a magical beast. Listening to Feng Ying's introduction, Wu Ya discovered that he was tragic, the next level lord of the giant bear was actually so terrifying.

  "Kill it, your sword needs its blood!"

  Just as Wu Ya was about to flash away, looking for another path from the giant bear's side or trying to sneak past it, a gloomy voice suddenly appeared in his mind, almost scaring him to death.

  "Senior You Yao, you're awake!"

  "Hmm, kill him. This sword of yours needs the blood of that hybrid Sword Dragon 'Meat Sword'." The Sword Spirit of the Desolate Wilderness said in a low voice.

  "This... Senior Youya, this demon beast may only be at the initial stage of the fifth rank, but it has dragon blood in its veins. Its strength is terrifying. With my current abilities, I'm afraid no matter how I set up a formation, it won't work?" Wu Ya said with a twitch of his mouth corner.

  "Indeed, you are too weak, but there is a way. Go kill three 4th-stage peak, eighteen 4th-stage initial, and eighty-one 3rd-stage magical beasts, take their magic crystals, and I will teach you to set up the Magic Sword Array!" The Sword Spirit of the Desolate Wilderness said coldly.

  "Seniors still practice magic?"

  "It won't work, only the original master can do it, I only know how to arrange it, but not the principle behind it, and I only know this one." The Sword Spirit of the Desolate Land dispelled the absurd idea of the dual cultivation of the Witch's Ridge Magic, and suddenly remembered that story. Could it be that the story of the Light Hand Ring was true? And then, the Sword Spirit of the Desolate Land suddenly said: "I have been waiting for you for a long time..."

  “……”

  Wu Ya was speechless, it seemed that the magic sword array hadn't been taught yet, how did he go crazy again? No time to bother with so much, started piecing together the magic crystal, fortunately, had killed a lot before, only needed to kill two more fourth-order peak and it would be enough. As for the 81 third-order ones, Wu Ya no longer took third-order magical beasts seriously, although he was only a general, his hidden killing technique was getting stronger!

  Spent another day, finally used the black gold king snake venom that I had been reluctant to use before to take down two 4th-tier peak demon beasts. Then spent half a day dealing with the 3rd-tier magic crystals from the ones I had previously killed or newly killed.

  "Alright, remember the current formation layout. Just lure that hybrid sword dragon into the formation and it'll be fine... Hmm, no, that's not enough. Your strength is only at Martial Master Second Stage, you need to increase by two stages to barely activate my 'Shadow Intercept Technique'. At the same time, when you wield that Seven-Star Divine Halberd, you won't exhaust your vital energy... Let me think..."

  Just as Wu Ya collected everything, You Huang Jian Ling woke up again. It seems he really values his sword highly.

  Dark Shadow Assassination Technique, Wu Ya's eyes suddenly lit up. It turned out that the You Huang Sword Spirit also had an ultimate technique. Feng Ying had Wind Step and other profound and mysterious martial arts techniques. The Seven-Star Divine Halberd was no exception. However, although the You Huang Sword Spirit's techniques were all assassination methods, their routes were unclear, as if they were all just variations of basic techniques evolved through improvisation. What Hidden Technique, Stealth Killing Technique, and so on, were all just improved versions of common goods, done at will!

  Wu Ya thought that being carefree was the ultimate state of martial arts, turning decay into magic, but it seemed that the Sword Spirit of You Huang had other extraordinary skills, and she must learn them.

  "Don't go crazy, don't go crazy......"

  "I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

  Wu Ya was speechless again, afraid of what might come next. If only he had let him merge the Shadow Slashing Technique with himself earlier... No choice now but to use stone fragments to set up a few Magical Sword Arrays first and thoroughly memorize them - after all, these were knowledge that might be useful in the future.

  "Think of it, you go back to the mountain where you first started, find the lotus-shaped bottle, inside there are three Xuanling Dan, after taking one, you can reach the fourth segment of the General's military strategy!" The Sword Spirit of Youhuang said mysteriously.

  "Senior, can you teach me the Shadow Assassination Technique first?" Wu Ya didn't wait for You Huang's sword spirit to become abnormal again and hastily called out, even forgetting that he could break through to the fourth segment of the General Soldier Realm.

  "Alright, follow me!"

  Wu Yue busily raised his sword, and the Yu Huang Sword Spirit in his mind stirred. He focused on merging with this killing technique, but when he had only merged halfway, cold sweat began to seep out of him uncontrollably. No wonder the Yu Huang Sword Spirit said that one needed to have cultivated the Four Segments of the Martial Way before they could use it - this set of killing techniques was truly too difficult. It wasn't just that it consumed a lot of Xuan Qi, but also that it consumed the even more precious General's Qi. Wu Yue's General's Qi was insufficient, and afterwards he felt like his entire person had been drained of its soul, feeling extremely uncomfortable until the Yu Huang Sword Spirit went silent for a long time before recovering.

  "Feng Ying, go and find Xuan Ling Dan!"

  He let out a long sigh and finally recovered, hurrying back to the first small mountain. He then began searching through the piles of human bones, animal bones, and broken, mysterious weapons. After half a day's search, he finally found the lotus flower bottle in the dry bone arms of a stone crevice. Luckily, Feng Ying had helped him; if he had relied on himself, who knows when he would have found it?

  Of course, there are also benefits to searching like this, and I found several swords with good quality. Unfortunately, I don't know if there's anything else as good as the Xuan Ling Dan in this pile of stuff. It's too messy, and I really don't know what's hidden where.

  "There's nothing good left, the Xuan Ling Dan was given to one of my previous master's subordinates to use in a desperate situation, and that subordinate died here. My master's things are deeper inside, but his storage ring was destroyed back then, so I'm guessing the items were taken by the magical beasts!" The Sword Spirit of the Desolate Wilderness sighed indifferently: "Don't worry, taking Xuan Ling Dan for the first time won't harm your foundation and can even increase your Xuan Qi. With your current cultivation method, it's fine. Later, I'll merge my Qi with yours, let's begin!"

  Wu Ya heard "desperate use" and couldn't help but mention it, but was seen through by You Huang Sword Spirit. Since You Huang Sword Spirit said so, Wu Ya didn't entangle anymore, and directly sat on the giant skeleton, swallowing the black and shiny Xuan Ling Dan.

  "Yu Huang, senior... how many years has your master been deceased? This thing won't expire, will it?" Just as he was about to say it, Wu Yue thought of this question again, unable to help himself due to the influence of his previous life's obsession with expiration dates.

  The third update, "Summoning the Divine Soldier" will be strongly promoted tomorrow afternoon, and there will be continuous explosions during the promotion period... Because of the strong promotion, I was so excited that I had this third update, which can also be considered as a pre-heating, everyone please support it and make this book popular!
