Capítulo 145: Spirit Beast Azure Bull
Translator: Cinder Translations
---
It's a pity that Song Wen's identity as a talisman master is just a cover. If he truly relied on drawing talismans for a living, his cultivation would likely stagnate indefinitely.
As Song Wen was passing by the Du Dan Brothel building, he happened to run into Ai Kun coming out of the building.
Looking at Ai Kun, whose steps seemed somewhat unsteady, Song Wen remarked, "Senior Ai, you don't seem as impressive as you bragged. We've only been apart for a quarter of an hour, and the journey took two quarters. Those three spirit stones you spent don't seem worth it."
Ai Kun's face turned red, and he retorted, "What do you know? At my age, being able to gallivant through the flowers is already rare. Today's condition was not ideal, so I had to wrap things up quickly. On a usual day, I would have charged for at least half an hour and made them lose their armor and helmet."
In Ai Kun's boasting, the two headed towards their residences.
Ai Kun lived on the same street as Song Wen, making him a sort of neighbor.
Suddenly, a man and a woman appeared in the sky, attracting their attention.
The man had a refined appearance, a straight nose, and a body like a jade tree, looking extremely handsome with an air of elegance. Especially his bright eyes, which seemed to flash with lightning, were captivating.
The woman had bright eyes and white teeth, willow-like eyebrows, skin as smooth as cream, and a body as pure and beautiful as an immortal from the heavens. She was stunningly attractive, like a gentle cloud covering the moon or drifting snow in the breeze.
The man was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, riding a sword and looking extremely graceful.
The woman, at the ninth level of Qi Refining, was riding on a strange beast in the air.
The beast resembled a bull, was entirely snow-white, but lacked horns. Its four hooves seemed to be stepping on a cloud, which appeared to have electric sparks within it, looking extremely mystical.
The two flying in the air quickly drew the amazed gazes of most people in the market.
A peerless beauty!
Seeing that Song Wen's attention was captured by the two figures in the sky, Ai Kun, who liked to brag about his knowledge, boasted, "Do you know who these two are?"
Seeing Song Wen shake his head, he continued, "The man is Lei Tianyu, the current direct descendant of the Lei family. At less than fifteen years old, he has already reached Foundation Establishment, and his thunder-based techniques are exceptionally refined. He is the most gifted person among the younger generation of the Lei family."
"The woman is Kou Chang, a direct disciple of the Beastmaster Sect. At the tender age of twenty, she has already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Moreover, her contracted spirit beast, the Azure Bull, is said to have a trace of the ancient divine beast Kui Niu's bloodline. The Azure Bull advanced to a fifth-level spirit beast two years ago, comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator."
Song Wen didn't pay much attention to Ai Kun's words. What truly caught his eye was the faint trace of demonic energy on Lei Tianyu.
Lei Tianyu must have recently devoured a considerable amount of others' blood essence.
Maybe others couldn't detect it, but Song Wen, who frequently consumed others' blood essence, was especially sensitive to this aura and could identify it immediately. It's also possible that cultivators with profound cultivation levels noticed the demonic aura on Lei Tianyu but, finding it irrelevant to themselves, chose not to make a fuss about it.
Moreover, Lei Tianyu was from the Lei family, meaning he possessed the Lei family's thunder-based secret techniques. After witnessing the power of the Thunder Talisman, Song Wen had been obsessively thinking about thunder techniques.
Turning to Ai Kun, Song Wen asked, "Senior Ai, how much do you know about thunder techniques? Why is it that some people can cultivate them, while others find it almost impossible to even get started?"
Ai Kun looked at Song Wen with a teasing gaze and replied, "What? Are you interested in thunder techniques?"
"The power of thunder techniques is great, but they are difficult to cultivate. For instance, the most widely circulated technique, Palm Thunder, has been attempted by many cultivators, but few have truly mastered it."
"It is said that those who succeed in cultivating thunder techniques generally possess a fire-type spiritual root, but not every cultivator with a fire-type spiritual root can master thunder techniques."
"Some speculate that the key to cultivating thunder techniques is a mutation in the fire-type spiritual root, producing a thunder attribute spiritual root. However, this type of mutated spiritual root cannot be tested and can only be confirmed through attempts at cultivating thunder techniques."
Watching Lei Tianyu and Kou Chang land, their figures blocked by buildings, a thought flashed through Song Wen's mind.
'Perhaps trying to cultivate Palm Thunder will determine whether I can practice thunder techniques.'
After parting ways with Ai Kun, Song Wen returned home.
Sitting cross-legged, after calming his mind, he took a Blood Qi Pill.
The effect of the Blood Qi Pill was somewhat disappointing to Song Wen.
As expected, the purchased Blood Qi Pills consumed very little blood essence. If Song Wen hadn't been constantly monitoring his internal blood essence, he would hardly have noticed the slight depletion.
The minimal consumption of blood essence resulted in a correspondingly small increase in spiritual power.
Holding the remaining pill, Song Wen's eyes were filled with disdain.
"Do I need to refine the pills myself?"
After killing Ji Yin, Song Wen obtained Ji Yin's notes, which detailed the formula and method for refining Blood Qi Pills.
Deciding to act on his thoughts, Song Wen disguised himself as a young male cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining. After confirming that there was no one outside the courtyard, he slipped out.
He wandered around the market, spending fifty spirit stones at several stalls to gather the spiritual herbs needed for ten batches of Blood Qi Pills.
Then, he entered a magical artifact shop, spending eight hundred spirit stones to purchase a mid-grade pill furnace.
After leaving the magical artifact shop, Song Wen once again encountered Lei Tianyu and Kou Chang.
The two were in a spirit beast shop.
Lei Tianyu was handing a large bag of spirit stones to the shopkeeper, who then handed a jade bottle directly to Kou Chang.
Kou Chang, receiving what she wanted, showed Lei Tianyu a sweet smile.
With a charming smile and beautiful eyes!
Lei Tianyu seemed entranced by Kou Chang's crescent-like eyes, gazing dreamily at her stunning face.
Author's Note: Chapters 140-142 have been revised, mainly altering Chen Yi's ending. Interested readers can check it out, but it doesn't significantly affect the subsequent plot."
TL Note: The original death of Chen Yi was much more gruesome and horrible. At least according to comments and people were not happy. So, author modified it to be a bit less intense.
