125 – assassins

ON JUNE 6, 2022 BY MOONCHILDKHZ

TN: I’ve kind of lost motivation for this project… Anyways, good news is that I have up to 205 translated. We’ll see from there if I pick this back up.

Ye Xingchen planned to conceal his spirit root upgrade, since the Grand Mysterious True Sutra was one of his two greatest secrets. 

The other was his rebirth. 

But he could not speak falsely here? What if that guy only handed out one bottle and gave him a low-grade? Then he would have missed the chance to quickly upgrade once more.

As his comprehension of the Grand Mysterious True Sutra increased, he could forcefully change his spirit root. But that required time. Ye Xingchen carried enmity within his body and naturally wanted a faster upgrade. 

What Jun Changxiao thought of was: Since you have an ordinary-grade root, I saved 50 points and don’t have to buy another low-grade. 

“Here, take it for use.”

He tossed over an ordinary-grade level Aptitude Transformation Fluid. 

Ye Xingchen caught it and carefully asked, “Sect Head, taking this medicine won’t cause any side effects?”

This question, indeed very professional!

On the Falling Star Continent, there were some pills that could forcefully promote cultivation. But after taking it, although one could break through, the martial artist would be doomed to eat medicinal pills for all future breakthroughs. 

They would eat pills until there were no more pills to eat, their cultivation forever stuck there. 

Jun Changxiao said, “If you are worried, you can just not take it.”

Ye Xingchen did not say any more and walked out of the study room, returning to his room. With the door closed, he looked at the bottle in his hand. 

He was considering whether to take it or not. 

Ye Xingchen, oh Ye Xingchen. 

That year, for the Grand Mysterious True Sutra, you were willing to go through near death. Will there be another chance at obtaining medicine that upgrades aptitude?

Pah. 

He uncorked the bottle and raised his head to drink it. 

Glug, glug!

After the solution entered his body, his meridians, blood, and muscle — even every inch of his flesh — experienced great transformation. His spirit root entered from ordinary to mid-grade in one fell swoop. 

Because he was Meridian Opening Stage Twelve and had not yet condensed his cyclone, the upgrade did not increase his realm but merely increased the amount of amassed energy. 

Ye Xingchen was floored. 

“Unbelievable!”

The Grand Mysterious True Sutra could upgrade aptitude because it was a core technique that exceeded the divine-grade. But that a bottle of medicine could easily achieve the same thing completely surpassed his understanding of medicine!

Is it immortal medicine from the Upper Realm? Ye Xingchen guessed. 

The Upper Realm existed on a plane higher than the Falling Star Continent. Only those who became Martial Emperors and then shattered the void had the qualifications to go. 

That was a much broader world. Even if those like him, who had once dominated this continent went, they would just be tiny ants beneath the true powerhouses. 

But that did not stop Ye Xingchen from greatly desiring to visit, because legend had it that there you would find the secret to immortality!

The life span on Gaowu World was very long, but you would still eventually bite the dust. Therefore immortality was what the experts pursued. 

Ye Xingchen was solemn as he concluded, If this is immortal medicine from the Upper Realm and this Jun Changxiao can give it to disciples at will, he’s definitely not simple!

All this time, he had disregarded this sect leader, but his mentality changed after taking the Aptitude Transformation Fluid. 

…

Coincidentally, Jun Changxiao was also thinking about Ye Xingchen in another room. 

Concealed his ordinary-grade spirit root? Does he really take me as a fool?

“Yuan Fang, what do you think?”

The system was silent for a moment, before answering, [For the low-grade spirit root to become ordinary-grade in such a short time, this matter is a bit fishy.]

“Aren’t those just useless words?” Jun Changxiao huffed. 

The system continued, [According to my information on Falling Star Continent, this world does not have a method that can forcefully upgrade spirit roots. Unless…]

“Unless what?”

[A core technique above divine-grade!]

“Isn’t divine-grade the highest?” Jun Changxiao’s face was full of surprise. 

The system explained, [Falling Star Continent’s martial skills have many categories. After endless years, the martial artists have used grades and levels to divide them up. But there are still some that are more auspicious and rarely appear, thus not categorized by the common divisions.]

“For example?” Jun Changxiao asked. 

The system said, [Tens of thousands of years ago, a supreme powerhouse once appeared on Falling Star Continent. He was known as the Grand Mysterious Old Man. The two core techniques that he creates are considered unrivaled treasures. One is the Grand Mysterious Ice Heart Secret Art and the other is the Grand Mysterious True Sutra.]

“Even the names are very cool,” Jun Changxiao commented. 

The system added, [Ten thousand years ago, a martial artist chanced upon a remnant volume of the Grand Mysterious Ice Heart Secret Art. Later, that martial artist became a Martial Emperor and single-handedly established the Grand Mysterious Holy Sect, which is now a first-grade sect.]

Jun Changxiao was filled with amazement. “Depending on a remnant of a core technique to create a first-grade sect, must it be so fucking awesome?”

The system said, [The Grand Mysterious Old Man was a legendary figure. The two core techniques he created were considered by this world’s people to exceed divine-grade. A remnant volume of the Ice Heart was found, but there were no signs of the Grand Mysterious True Sutra. Many Martial Saints and Martial Emperors exhausted their lives in search of it.]

Jun Changxiao rubbed his hands together. “The way you explained it even makes me want to look for it.”

The system poured cold water on these thoughts. [This type of mysterious core technique is only destined to be found by a novel’s protagonist. The host should not count on it and obediently grow stronger his own way with the system.]

“That’s true.”

Jun Changxiao tossed out the idea of seeking the unparalleled core technique and wondered, “Ye Xingchen’s spirit root upgrade, could it be because he cultivates an core technique that exceeds divine-grade?”

[70-80%.] 

The system did not dare give a 100% determination. 

Jun Changxiao tapped his chin. “If you make such an estimation, since he can obtain such an unrivaled core technique, isn’t he also living the proper protagonist’s life?”

A talent who became a waste, another who obtained an unusual technique. 

Aiya, my small Ironbone Sect has so many protagonist-level big shots… Training them, just thinking about it makes me a little shy!

The system said, [The host can ask Ye Xingchen a little. If he does have an exceeding divine-grade core technique, you could swindle it over.]

Jun Changxiao waved a hand. “Didn’t you just say that I should grow stronger in my own way and use the system? Why should I bother studying other martial skills then?”

[This…] the system had nothing to say in response. 

Jun Changxiao did not go and question Ye Xingchen, mainly because even if the boy really had it, he would definitely not say so. 

If the boy was accidentally made hyper-vigilant in fear that his martial technique would be seized, eventually fleeing the sect, then the gain would not equal the loss. 

Furthermore, the items that could be purchased through the system were also heaven-defying. Why should he bother going through the effort to cultivate that profound technique?

Since he didn’t wish to inquire about the core technique, what he could do was coordinate with Ye Xingchen and treat the boy like an ordinary person. 

If Jun Changxiao knew that not only had this disciple obtained the rare core technique that he and the system had discussed moments ago, but was actually a rebirthed Martial Emperor, perhaps he would be so startled he directly hit the roof. 

…

The night was endlessly long, but he had no interest in sleep. 

Jun Changxiao stopped cultivating, muttering, “Refresh the store, let me see if I can find something good.”

[Ding! Sect Contribution: 220/500.]

After the refresh, a brand new list of items appeared. 

Jun Changxiao looked at them one by one, but his eyes froze on something called the ‘Anti-Glare Sunglasses’. 

Even sunglasses were sold! Anti-glare ones too!

He clicked on the description.

[Item: Anti-Glare Sunglasses

Effect: After wearing, a spying function may be activated, which can rapidly analyze the target’s spirit root, cultivation, strength, weapon and equipment rank, and other data.

Effectiveness: When activated. 

Price: 50 contribution points.

Note: The Anti-Glare Sunglasses can only be used by the host and will be limited by cultivation base. If the target’s cultivation is too great or the grade of an item is too high, the sunglasses will be unable to determine the necessary data.]

Jun Changxiao was exuberant. “So fucking awesome!”

Although the system could approximate a target’s cultivation and strength, it could not look at spirit root, weapon, or equipment rank!

“Buy!”

He clicked without hesitation. 

[Ding! The host has spent 50 contribution points, obtaining Anti-Glare Sunglasses x1. The item has been transported into the storage ring.]

[Ding! Sect Contribution: 170/500.]

Jun Changxiao hadn’t even summoned the Anti-Glare Sunglasses before a new sound echoed. 

[Ding! Side mission triggered.]

Another mission?

Opening the panel, the content was: [Kill the assassins 0/5 {Incomplete}]

Tsk, tsk.

This Drizzle Pavilion is really never ending, they sent more assassins.

Bang—

At this time, the sound of gunfire echoed from outside. After Xiao Zuiji fired the first shot on the sentry post, he quickly moved the Type 88 and used the 8x Scope to lock on a distant rock.

[Ding! Kill the assassins 1/5]

With the notifications, Jun Changxiao stepped onto the sentry post. Standing on the stone platform, he asked, “The other four?”

“Behind the rock,” Xiao Zuiji informed him. 

Correct. 

The other four assassins were hiding behind the rock and did not dare appear, especially since they saw their companion’s head explode, sending chills down their spine and scalp tingling.
