Chapter 87: Isn’t This Inappropriate?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“It’s just a small matter, not worth mentioning?1
Su Chen waved his hand and said indifferently.
He would not hand over any inner sect disciple of the Great Mystery Sect today, let alone Mu Qingxue.
Surrendering would mean that he, Su Chen, conceded.
Not only would this style of doing things be looked down upon by others, but he would also be looked down upon by everyone when he returned to the Great Mystery Sect.
To Su Chen, this had a huge influence because his system needed genuine brags from others.
It wasn’t easy for him to build up trust with the disciples of the Great Mystery Sect, so he couldn’t afford to break that trust because of this incident.
Who would have full trust in a senior brother who handed over a fellow disciple with just a slight threat?
“It is indeed a small matter for Senior Brother, but it is extremely important to me!”
Mu Qingxue offered the black stone to Su Chen with a serious expression. Her cold face seemed to radiate with a hint of brilliance as she said, “Senior Brother, please accept this! I have no way to repay Senior Brother’s kindness to me. This is just a small token of my appreciation.”
“Hmm?”
When Su Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the black stone that Mu Qingxue was holding.
This stone was only the size of a fist. It was completely black and did not seem to have anything special about it.
At least, Su Chen did not see anything special about it.
“Is this the stone that you and the Everlasting Sect fought over?”
Su Chen sized up the black stone and took it.
“Yes.”
Mu Qingxue gently tapped her ivory-like neck and said, “1 bought this stone on a whim. My intuition tells me that there should be some kind of secret technique inside.1’
Mu Qingxue looked at Su Chen cautiously as if she was afraid that he would misunderstand. She quickly said, “I don’t know if there’s a secret technique inside. It’s just my intuition.”
“Oh, really?”
Su Chen looked at Mu Qingxue with a smile and said meaningfully.
To be able to determine what was in the stone just by intuition was a little too mysterious.
At this moment, Su Chen had formed a new impression of Mu Qingxue.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Chen squeezed out a drop of blood essence and dripped it on the black stone.
Buzz…
The moment the blood essence landed on it, a stream of information rushed into his mind like a flood.
This was a scripture called the Blood Ignition Technique!
The scripture was very short, only a few thousand words, but it was black-level upper-rank,
Su Chen browsed through the content and immediately understood.
The content was no different from what Mu Qingxue had said. There was indeed a secret technique.
Secret techniques were different from martial arts and cultivation methods.
Secret techniques did not have stages such as the introductory, small attainment, grand attainment, or perfection. Once learned, they could be used directly.
The Blood Ignition Technique was a secret technique that could increase one’s strength.
Once it was activated in the Qi Gathering Realm, it could instantly increase the user’s cultivation by a major realm. At the Qi Sea Realm, it could increase by two to three small realms with each use.
After reaching the God Altar Realm, it was not of much use. At most, it could only increase one’s strength by a bit and was unable to raise them even by a small realm.
The Blood Ignition Technique could only be used for two hours at a time.
Once the time was up, the secret technique would completely lose its effect, and the user would be weak for an entire day.
Of course, with the help of recovery pills, this time could be greatly shortened.
After reading the scripture, Su Chen shook his head gently.
He was already at the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm, so this kind of secret technique was no longer useful to him.
However, it would be different if Mu Qingxue had this secret technique.
She was only at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm, if she used the Blood Ignition Technique, her strength would instantly rise to the fourth or fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm.
With her aptitude, she could possibly defeat anyone below the middle stage of the God Altar Realm.
“Junior Sister.”
Su Chen looked at Mu Qingxue and chuckled. “There is indeed a secret technique in this stone, and I have already seen it.”
When Mu Qingxue heard this, there was a strange look in her pale purple eyes. “Senior Brother, are you satisfied?”
Su Chen had fought Situ Feng head-on in the Ninth Princess’s mansion today.
Mu Qingxue had always repaid others’ Idndness. She did not like to owe others anything.
She naturally wanted to repay Su Chen’s favor.
Unfortunately, she didn’t knowhow to repay him.
After all.
She couldn’t use the cultivation method of her master to repay him.
After thinking about it, Mu Qingxue felt that this black stone was something that she could take out now.
Su Chen shook his head slightly.
Mu Qingxue frowned when she saw this.
Was it because the secret technique was too weak and Su Chen did not like it?
“This stone does contain a secret technique, but it’s not very useful to me. I think it suits you better, at least before you reach the God Altar Realm.’’
Su Chen said with a smile.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Mu Qingxue’s beautiful purple eyes when she heard that.
“I know Junior Sister wants to repay today’s favor, but there is still a long time ahead. Perhaps one day, I will need your help. I hope that Junior Sister won’t refuse when the time comes.”
Su Chen noticed the disappointment in Mu Qingxue’s eyes. He patted her shoulder and comforted her.
Mu Qingxue froze at the touch. She raised her head and looked at Su Chen, who was exuding unparalleled charm, in shock.
He…
Did he just touch her?
At this moment, Su Chen also realized that his actions were a little ambiguous, so he quickly withdrew his hand, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip before looking elsewhere.
“I will return this stone to its original owner. Take it back and cultivate well. This might be helpful for your competition tomorrow.”
Su Chen waved his hand gently.
The black stone instantly flew back to Mu Qingxue, hovering in mid-air
The Blood Ignition Technique was indeed helpful to Mu Qingxue in the competition tomorrow.
The people who came to Imperial Supreme City this time wore all top disciples of various sects. Every one of them had the ability to fight people of higher levels.
Most of them were around the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm, and only a small number of them were at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm.
Mu Qingxue could easily defeat those at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm.
However, it would be challenging if she were to fight against those disciples at the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm. After all, they could also fight across realms.
Mu Qingxue’s advantage was very small. If she had the Blood Ignition Technique, she would be on the same starting line as those disciples at the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm.
The secret technique recorded in this stone was not a one-time use item.
As long as this stone existed, the secret technique inside would not dissipate,
“This… Senior Brother, isn’t this inappropriate?”
Mu Qingxue looked at the black stone in front of her, her face showing a hint of embarrassment.
She had just given this stone to Su Chen moments ago.
However, in the blink of an eye, Su Chen returned the stone to her.
On the surface, she wanted to repay Su Chen’s kindness, but in reality, it seemed like she hadn’t done much.
In the end, the stone had returned to her.
At the thought of this, Mu Qingxue raised her fair hand and put the black stone into her storage ring..
