Chapitre 6: 006
The Gift Box opened.
Golden light slowly drifted upwards and entered Su Shi's eyebrows.
It was as if a warm stream had been injected into his body, constantly flushing his meridians and removing impurities, transforming his bone roots into perfect harmony without the slightest flaw.
Spiritual energy flowed into his body, replenishing the nearly dried up Dantian.
Even the chest wound healed quickly, the weak qi and blood became full and surging, and the body was filled with inexhaustible power.
"Amazing!"
Su Shi let out a long breath.
He stretched and moved his muscles, making a "crackling" sound like fried beans.
Open the system panel!
[Status: Full of Qi and Blood, refreshed]
[Talent: Holy Grade Perfect]
[Cultivation Base: Realm of Golden Elixir (Early Stage)]
[Cultivation Method: The Breathing Technique of Netherworld (Great Success), Netherworld Divine Cultivation (Small Success)]
[Plot Value: 10 points]
"Wait, Early Stage of Golden Elixir Realm?"
Noticing the change, Su Shi hurriedly looked into his dantian.
He saw a golden core hanging in the center of his dantian, as if it was a blazing sun emitting a dazzling light.
Spiritual qi was continuously compressed by the golden core, and its quality was an unknown number of times stronger than before.
'A real breakthrough?'
He couldn't come back to his senses for a moment.
This was the Realm of Golden Elixir!
As the saying goes, "Foundation Establishment exists to enlighten the soul, while Golden Elixir exists to transform the bones".
If Foundation Establishment is the beginning of cultivation, then the Realm of Golden Elixir is the true transformation of bones.
But how difficult is it to train Qi to become Dan?
Throughout history, very few people entered the Golden Elixir at the age of twenty.
Su Shi was at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment and seemed to be one step away from reaching the Realm of Golden Elixir, but he knew in his heart that without a great opportunity, it would take at least ten years to get past the shackles.
But now, he managed to refine the Golden Elixir[1] as if it was as easy as brewing a cup of tea.
The effect of the Holy Talent, coupled with the cleansing of the essence and marrow, was terrifying.
"Amazing!"
There were exactly 10 plot points left, so Su Shi opened another blind box while the iron was still hot.
[Mystical Ability: Eight Desolate Six Harmonious Palms]
Su Shi's eyebrows shot up, "Mystical Ability?"
Mystical Abilities were divided into four levels, "Heaven, Earth, Mystery, and Gold".
Most of the Mystical Abilities circulating in the world were Gold grade, while those of Earth grade were already considered rare, and if one mastered Mystery grade Mystical Abilities, one could become a first-class sect leader.
As for the most powerful Heaven-grade Mystical Abilities, most of them were firmly held by the top sects and imperial dynasties.
Only core members were qualified to learn them.
Su Shi, as the Demon General of Netherworld, was in charge of some of the Southwest Region's affairs, but he only learned "quasi-mystery-level" Mystical Ability.
That's what the sect bestowed upon him.
Su Shi couldn't wait to swallow the golden light, and his spiritual platform was instantly filled with enlightenment, and he mastered this divine ability perfectly within moments.
Spiritual energy flowed within his body and converged on his right hand, and a green lotus bloomed in his palm, surrounding him with an aura of desolation and destruction.
Before he even made an attacking move, he could feel its terrifying destructive power.
And it would become stronger and stronger as his cultivation level increased!
"Eight Desolate Six Harmonious Palms is mine."
A smile lifted the corners of Su Shi's mouth.
Although he did not draw any special gifts, the quality of this gift was quite good.
"Talent plus Mystical Ability, now the situation has completely turned around!"
"But ..."
"What about Zhan Qingchen's side?"
"If she knows I lied to her, she will definitely beat me to death ..."
Su Shi's smile narrowed and he rubbed his eyebrows in distress.
….
Next room.
Zhan Qingchen sat frozen on the bed, her eyes blank and unfocused.
"It's over."
Faced with Su Shi's "confession of love", she had agreed to accept his feeling in a moment of enthusiasm.
Only now that she had calmed down did she realize how outrageous this decision was.
She was the Chief disciple of the Righteous Sect and the other party was a member of the Demonic Sect, so if this matter came to light, it would cause a huge uproar.
Not to mention the fact that Tianji Pavilion would definitely not be able to tolerate it.
"I'm so impulsive, how can I accept Su Shi's confession?"
"Although his feelings are so sincere ... but he is a member of the Demonic Sect after all."
"But looking at his appearance today, if I rashly propose to refuse, he will definitely choose to commit suicide, right?"
Zhan Qingchen knew nothing about the affairs of men and women.
The fact that the other party had confessed so plainly, even to the point of laying down his life for her, was a great shock to her heart.
"Is this love?"
Recalling Su Shi's gentle but firm eyes, her heart trembled, and her head seemed to be buried in the pillow like an ostrich, without the slightest trace of the Chief Disciple's appearance.
Knock, knock, knock!
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.
Zhan Qingchen hurriedly sat upright, her expression returning to a cold expression.
"Come in."
Xiaoqing pushed the door in, holding a stack of documents in her hand, "Chief, the information you requested has been collected."
Zhan Qingchen nodded, "Hmm, put that down."
Xiaoqing put the information on the table, then bowed and retreated.
Just as she reached the door, she heard Zhan Qingchen say, "By the way, don't let anyone know about Su Shi being here for now."
"What about the sect?"
"Don't tell anyone, including the sect."
"Alright ..."
Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment and cautiously said, "Chief, you seem quite interested in Su Shi?"
Zhan Qingchen had always been cynical about evil and would never show mercy when dealing with those in the demonic dao.
Now not only did he help Su Shi heal his injuries, she even let him stay in the Medicinal House, which was something unprecedented.
"I have my own plan for this matter, just do as you are told, no need to ask more."
Zhan Qingchen's tone was bland, but the tips of her ears were faintly red.
"Alright."
Xiaoqing didn't dare to ask any more questions.
When she left, Zhan Qingchen sat in silence for a while before walking to the table and picking up the documents.
Turning to the first page, the dense text came into view.
[Su Shi, twenty years old, the first son of the Su family in Nanli City ...]

[1]. 丹 (Dan), litteraly means energy, pill, and elixir (immortality potion). Dantian is loosely translated as "elixir field", "sea of qi", or simply "energy center". Dantian are the "qi focus flow centers", important focal points for meditative and exercise techniques such as qigong, martial arts such as t'ai chi ch'uan, and in traditional Chinese medicine. There is a history to why Dan is associated with the elixir of immortality. Qinshihuang, the first king of the Qin dynasty, wanted an immortal body so he ordered the royal alchemists to find a potion for immortality, which gave birth to Waidan (外丹) which means medicinal discipline. I translated Jidan (金丹) as Golden Elixir because Zhan Qingchen was a cultivator who specialized in medicine, but it seems that the translation is not quite right. I found the same cultivation level from the novel Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and they translated this as Golden Core
