Supreme Warrior in the City

The three Crystal Skulls were still lying in the villa where Su Yang lived. Now these three guys could actually go out and meet people.

These three guys, when they came out from the Feather Spirit Palace, already looked like these skeletons.

Su Yang explained to the outside world that these three had their physical bodies nearly destroyed by the powers within the Feather Spirit Palace, leaving only these bones.

So, when people saw these three, they were not afraid, but rather full of sympathy.

And indeed, after a round of lamentation, these three managed to garner a lot of sympathy, resulting in many people sending them plenty of Elixir Pills. Recently, these three lay in Su Yang’s villa, eating those Elixir Pills like they were peanuts, crunching away, that anyone who didn’t know better might think they were actually munching on peanuts.

Su Yang kicked the door open, and these three simply turned their lazy eyes towards Su Yang, still staring intently at the TV.

”Aren’t you three going to come out and do some cultivation?” Su Yang couldn’t help but express: ”The plan for the day lies in the morning, and the way of martial arts lies in diligence. You have so many enemies, aren’t you afraid one day they’ll find and tie you up on a tree and beat you if you don’t cultivate properly?”

The Second City Lord hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, ”Big brother, as we are now, no matter how much we cultivate, we can’t defeat our enemies. At least being tied to a tree didn’t cost us our lives, so why put in the hard work on cultivation?”

Look, look, hopeless... just like that!

”The vines were merciful, so they spared you. If it were me, I would’ve ground your bones to dust and thrown you into the Atlantic Ocean!” Su Yang scolded angrily.

”Big brother, are you... you here for something...” The Third City Lord said softly: ”We spend our days like this, right? If you have something to say, just say it straight, no need for lead-up...”

Su Yang immediately approached them: ”It’s nothing much, just wanted to ask, can the gourds on your heads produce some Spirit Liquid Essence?”

”Spirit Liquid Essence?” The three Crystal Skulls exchanged glances, evidently not understanding what Su Yang meant.

”What’s that?” The Second City Lord asked curiously.

”It’s the liquid produced inside this gourd, extremely rich in Spiritual Energy, thousands of times more concentrated than Spiritual Liquid!” Su Yang said puzzled: ”Isn’t it called Spirit Liquid Essence?”

The three Crystal Skulls exchanged glances again. The Second City Lord took the gourd down from his head, looked it over, and said in surprise: ”Can such a miraculous thing be produced in this gourd?”

Su Yang was bewildered: ”Wait, you mean... you didn’t know?”

”No idea!” The three Crystal Skulls shook their heads in unison, answering in complete synchronization.

Su Yang widened his eyes, observing for a moment, realizing these three weren’t pretending. This puzzled Su Yang even more—how could these three not know that the gourd could produce such Spirit Liquid Essence, what’s going on?

Could it be that these gourds have never produced such Spirit Liquid Essence?

But that doesn’t make sense. Su Yang had seen those gourds produce such Spirit Liquid Essence in the Feather Spirit Palace, these three have had these gourds for years, and they haven’t produced even a drop of Spirit Liquid Essence?

Unless the gourds can’t produce such Spirit Liquid Essence once removed from the vine.

At this thought, Su Yang suddenly realized.

Of course, when the gourd is on the vine, the vine roots underground and absorbs nutrients. In such a situation, the gourd can produce such Spirit Liquid Essence.

Once these three took the gourd off, it became rootless, incapable of producing such Spirit Liquid Essence—that’s expected!

Su Yang looked regretfully at the three gourds, thinking that if they were still on the vine, they could produce much of that Spirit Liquid Essence. In that case, the value of these gourds would far exceed simply having them sitting atop the heads of these three.

The three Crystal Skulls still didn’t understand what was happening, and the Great City Lord couldn’t help saying: ”Big brother, you mentioned the gourd producing Spirit Liquid Essence, what’s that about?”

”It’s nothing!” Su Yang waved it off, not wanting to waste words on them, and turned to leave.

”No, seriously, what’s this all about?” The Second City Lord hurriedly asked: ”Why have we never seen anything like this over the years?”

”It’s nothing major, the gourd can absorb Spiritual Energy, refine it, and condense it into Spirit Liquid Essence,” Su Yang explained offhandedly, unsure if he was correct, but it was more or less like that.

”It can do that?!” The three were stunned, completely shocked by Su Yang’s words.

Su Yang didn’t pay them any heed and turned to leave.

The three Crystal Skulls sat inside, each taking down the gourd from their heads, staring intently at the gourd in their hands.

”Absorb Spiritual Energy and refine it...” The Second City Lord was shocked and excited: ”Boss, does this gourd really have such effects?”

”You ask me, who do I ask!” The Great City Lord wore the same expression.

The Third City Lord had a look of eagerness: ”Why don’t we give it a try?”

”Let’s try!” The Second City Lord immediately said, then looked at the Great City Lord: ”Boss, we’ll need to find some abundant Spiritual Energy first. According to big brother’s description, this thing needs to absorb a lot of Spiritual Energy to refine such Spirit Liquid Essence!”

The Great City Lord thought for a moment, then nodded: ”Alright, let’s try it.”

The Second and Third City Lords jumped up excitedly, following the Great City Lord out of the villa.

The three walked out of the villa, without heading upfront to find Su Yang, and left the area directly. Then, they sped towards the depths of the World Melting Furnace.

They traveled like this for several days, eventually reaching deep within the World Melting Furnace. During their journey, they encountered several formidable Fierce Beasts.

But to these three, those beasts were nothing.

Eventually, they arrived at the edge of a sheer cliff, with an endless cloudy ocean in front. Hidden within the clouds were looming buildings, majestic and formidable, resembling an Immortal Palace shrouded in mist.

”This is the place!” The Second City Lord said excitedly, gazing at the buildings: ”Big brother, let’s combine our forces to break the Array around here first!”

The Great City Lord took a deep breath and said solemnly: ”Be extremely cautious, the Array here has a strong backlash. Any carelessness could trap us here indefinitely!”
