Su Yu didn’t pay much attention to how the Lin Family was destroyed in the past, and he wasn’t even familiar with Lin Danlang. He had only met and heard of him once.
The time he met Lin Danlang was more than a decade ago, during the entrance examination for Yunjian Sect disciples.
On that occasion, Lin Danlang successfully entered the Yunjian Sect.
The next time he heard about Lin Danlang was when Lin Danlang wedded into the Bai Family of Maple City and married their second daughter who weighed more than 400 jin.
And now this event.
He was blasted into pieces by Su Yu’s Fire Cloud Arrow Talisman.
Shortly after.
The law enforcement officials from Yunshan Market came to confirm Lin Danlang’s identity. That was when Su Yu found out that Lin Danlang had been expelled from the Yunjian Sect six years ago because he tried to steal the core cultivation technique of the Sect.
This—
Su Yu was at a loss for words when he found out.
What in the world was a peripheral disciple thinking by trying to steal the core cultivation technique from the Yunjian Sect?
However, he considered that the destruction of the Lin Family happened around that time.
Stressed by this, it was quite normal for Lin Danlang to be distraught.
Having put away the Qiankun Bag and magic artifact that Lin Danlang left behind, Su Yu went to the Heavenly Archive Pavilion for a stroll and casually asked if they had any second-rank Talisman inheritances for sale.
Heavenly Archive Pavilion.
The elder still looked the same as he did more than a decade ago. He admired Su Yu with an odd look in his eyes and praised, “Good lad, your cultivation technique is indeed rejuvenating.”
Su Yu laughed, “I remember when I first came to the Heavenly Archive
Pavilion, you looked just like this.”
The elder laughed heartily, “Old, old, I don’t have many years left.”
Su Yu probed, “What about the second-rank Talisman inheritance?”
The elder gently shook his head and pointed to a pile of ancient jade boxes, “Maybe over there, do you want to try your luck?”
“Goodbye then.”
Seeing the elder wouldn’t budge, Su Yu turned and left.
The elder watched Su Yu’s departing figure and gently shook his head. It was a pity; he knew Su Yu’s Alchemy talents were extraordinarily monstrous.
But his cultivation talents—
They were embarrassingly awful.
More than thirty years old and still only at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement realm.
At this rate, Foundation Establishment would be difficult in this lifetime, not to mention Core Formation – it might remain an unattainable dream for his entire life.
Without even the chance of reaching Core Formation, how could he gain the inheritance of the Heavenly Archive Pavilion?
The Heavenly Archive Pavilion, only monsters need apply!
Cultivation talent is the most fundamental and important aspect, followed by proficiency in other cultivation arts.
Failure to meet the standard in any single area would deem one unworthy to be a disciple of the Heavenly Archive Pavilion.
Back at the Pill Hall.
Su Yu wasn’t disappointed at all. He had just gone check if there were chances to gain an inheritance. Since the Heavenly Archive Pavilion didn’t have it, he would just seek other avenues.
He took out the Qiankun bag that Lin Danlang left behind and emptied it.
A pile of miscellaneous items, various Spiritual Medicines, and poisons.
There were also three Demonic and Evil cultivation methods, two of which were fairly common but one could be practiced until the Foundation Establishment Realm.
If Lin Danlang could have held on for another two or three decades, he might have been able to reach Foundation Establishment using this demonic cultivation method. By then— Well.
By then, it would be even easier for Su Yu to crush him. Pitiful.
Glancing at the three Demonic cultivation methods, Su Yu destroyed them with a disgusted look, and then destroyed various other items like clothes and poisons.
In the end, he was left with over a hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones and five ancient jade boxes.
There were two magic artifacts, both were mid-grade.
One seemed to be a weapon resembling a sharp arrow.
There was also a set of eight Soul Capturing Needles, which were magic artifacts from the demonic path.
“This Soul Capturing Needle is indeed a good thing. As long as one gets hit by it, it can deter the opponent’s soul. It’s definitely a decisive weapon in a major battle.” Su Yu happily collected the items. Not bad.
This courier barely passed.
Those arrow-like weapons were a bit lackluster.
After recognizing the Soul Capturing Needle as his own and storing it in his Dantian to cultivate, Su Yu looked at the five ancient jade boxes.
There was a lot of dust on these ancient jade boxes. Judging by the traces, they seemed to be items Lin Danlang had scavenged from somewhere.
Su Yu glanced at them, then poured his mana into them, scattered the remaining prohibitive aura of the five ancient jade boxes, and opened them one by one.
The first one was empty.
The second one was also empty.
The third one, huh?
A golden paper thin as a cicada’s wing appeared before Su Yu. Despite the ravages of endless time, this paper remained intact.
Just because of this, the paper was extraordinary.
“What is this?” Su Yu was surprised and took it out.
When Su Yu’s Divine Sense landed on the paper, a loud noise rang out in his mind, and a torrent of knowledge about a heritage surged in.
At the top, there were three big characters.
[Golden Cicada Method]!
When Su Yu regained consciousness and took a moment, he could slowly recall the heritage that had now entered his mind. It took Su Yu three hours to sort out this heritage. The more he looked at it, the more he was shocked.
This was a soul-related cultivation technique.
Turning the soul into a golden cicada to strengthen the power of the soul, and ultimately influence mana and flesh with soul power.
This technique has an unimaginably strong effect for righteous path cultivation techniques.
It might be able to transform a mediocre genius into a freak.
And for the demonic path—
This Golden Cicada Method is simply a divine technique.
Demonic path cultivation techniques compare to righteous path cultivation techniques in terms of speed – they are ten times, even hundreds of times faster.
But there’s a consequence, or rather, the drawback to all demonic path cultivation techniques—unstable foundation, chaotic mana.
It may not be a problem in the early stage, but in the later stage, demonic path cultivation techniques could lead to demonic possession, with a risk of body explosion and death that is a hundred or even a thousand times higher than that of righteous path techniques.
The advantage in the speed of cultivation in the early stages would have to be repaid twice over in the later stages!
But the Golden Cicada Method can use the soul to influence mana and the flesh, gradually refining one’s own mana and flesh to make them as pure as the flesh of a golden cicada.
It can be said that once the Golden Cicada’s method is achieved, combined with the demonic path cultivation techniques—
A thought arose in Su Yu’s mind, and for a moment he was tempted, then immediately dashed it aside.
He would not practice demonic path!
“Hiss, this Golden Cicada Method must not be known to others.” Su Yu’s pupils shrank slightly.
Otherwise, those from the demonic path would definitely go crazy.
Although from his perspective, this Golden Cicada Method was not something ordinary people could practice, and the difficulty was not in the construction of the foundation materials, but in the technique itself.
But despite the difficulties, this technique was indeed somewhat beyond imagination and out of the ordinary.
Su Yu even felt that after practicing this Golden Cicada Method, his journey from Core Formation to the Nascent Soul Realm would be smooth.
“Let’s start by entering the initial stage to see how much help it can bring to my cultivation. ”
Su Yu’s heart was full of anticipation.
The last two ancient jade boxes were empty, with only a few dust particles left inside.
Time flew, and almost half a year passed.
Today.
Hum!
Su Yu was practicing the Golden Cicada Method. Without making a sound, he truly entered the initial stage, and a golden glow flashed in his mind. Su Yu’s original illusory soul turned into a golden cicada at this moment.
The glow of the Golden Cicada Method was ethereal and could not be seen by mortal eyes. It pervaded throughout Su Yu’s body..
