Martial Saint through Reading

Ji Wujiang felt that Chu Ming was too young. If he were to acquire a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Cultivation Technique, he might directly cultivate it rather than use it for so-called reference and deduction.

At this moment, Chu Ming lifted his head and cupped his hands towards Ji Wujiang, ”Thank you for your guidance, Master Ancestor.”

Although he couldn’t make Ji Wujiang believe that he was using it for deduction rather than direct cultivation, he had at least clarified one thing. Spending time seeking multiple Cultivation Techniques, merging and deducing these techniques, was not wrong.

”Put away the Red Blood Earth Dragon Gloves and the Red Heart Exquisite Pendant.”

”Okay.”

Ji Wujiang nodded slightly and with a wave of his hand, a pile of Cultivation Technique books appeared before him.

”Master?” Xiang Yue looked at the books in surprise.

”Hehe, I cannot give you a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Cultivation Technique, but you can refer to techniques below the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.”

Ji Wujiang looked at those books and said, ”There are three here that can be cultivated to the Lower Realm Perfection of the Meridian Unlocking Realm, and the rest can reach Upper Realm Perfection. Take them.”

”Ah?” Xiang Yue was stunned, ”Master, why didn’t you give me a few for reference before?”

The Cultivation Techniques he used to deduce the ”Tiger and Python Body Refining Technique” were all acquired by himself. Ji Wujiang had never given him even half a book.

”Do you have Chu Ming’s comprehension?” Ji Wujiang turned to look at Xiang Yue, then back at Chu Ming.

”The so-called Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, in essence, is about refining the physical body, which includes skin, flesh, blood, bones, the five internal organs, and meridians closures.”

”Bone Marrow Cleansing is about giving the physical body rebirth.”

”If you can comprehend it, then you can surely deduce a Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm Cultivation Technique.”

Ji Wujiang revealed the key point of Bone Marrow Cleansing. Whether Chu Ming could comprehend it was up to him.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ming’s eyes gleamed brightly, as if having an epiphany, and he respectfully cupped his hands, ”Thank you, Master Ancestor.”

”Hmm,” Ji Wujiang nodded, ”You all see the current situation of the dynasty, it is not optimistic.”

”But in reality, the dynastic situation is merely a calm before the impending catastrophe.”

”Catastrophe?” Xiang Yue and Chu Ming’s expressions changed simultaneously.

”Yes, there are some things that are not recorded in books.” Ji Wujiang’s expression was solemn, ”The dynasty before the Qin Dynasty was the Yan Dynasty, you’re aware, right?”

Both nodded.

”Before Yan was Sheng, before Sheng was Jing...”

”Regardless of the Jing Dynasty, Sheng Dynasty, or Yan Dynasty, they each ruled for a thousand years.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Ming’s brows furrowed tightly.

The ruling time of the Great Qin Dynasty had also reached a thousand years.

”Are you referring to the King of North Snow?” Xiang Yue asked with a serious expression.

Ji Wujiang shook his head.

”It’s neither North Snow nor this Qin Dynasty.”

”Across the thirty-three kingdoms of the Cangxuan Western Continent, the ruling period of each nation experiences turmoil every thousand years, whether it results in destruction or survival. Even if it survives, there will be earth-shaking changes.”

”Every thousand years, the entire Cangxuan Western Continent undergoes a major shift, which is the catastrophe I speak of!”

”And this time, the catastrophe is near.”

Outside, heavy snow flew, the wind howled fiercely, and the cold enveloped the world, as if freezing everything in existence.

Xiang Yue and Chu Ming sat side by side, silent.

Ji Wujiang stared at the teapot, without a word.

Even Little Yu, who was warming by the fire, with her cheeks flushed from the heat, remained still at this moment.

As if the heavy snow outside had already frozen the inside.

After a brief silence, Ji Wujiang spoke again.

”Catastrophes and opportunities coexist, where there is catastrophe, there is sure to be opportunity.”

”I and Chang Qin Jiumin have studied the catastrophes throughout the dynasties and gleaned a hint of secrets.”

Chang Qin Jiumin is the other National Guardian Realm of the Qin Dynasty, who was named on the Golden List three hundred years ago, saving the Qin Dynasty from collapse, the prince in question.

”Every catastrophe seems to exist to redistribute resources in the Cangxuan Western Continent.”

”These resources include territory and also... the distribution of treasures.”

”Treasures?”

Xiang Yue asked in astonishment, Chu Ming was equally curious.

What kind of treasure would cause such turbulence throughout the Cangxuan Western Continent?

”Hmm, treasures,” Ji Wujiang looked outside, ”The Star Golden List is one such treasure I speak of.”

Star Golden List?!

Golden Hundred Knowledge Grand Competition!

Chu Ming was shocked in his heart.

”The mysteriousness of the Star Golden List exceeds the comprehension of common people. Even I do not know where the Golden List comes from, but it does exist.”

”Chang Qin Jiumin and I once obtained an ancient text that described the Star Golden List as a second-class spiritual treasure.”

A second-class spiritual treasure? Could there be a first-class spiritual treasure?

Chu Ming and Xiang Yue were shocked to their core.

”In fact, I would rather call it a National Treasure, because...”

”A nation has its National Treasure, a clan has its Clan Treasure, and a sect has its Sect Treasure.”

”For instance, the Red Flame Race’s Clan Treasure is the Red Flame Roasting Flame, and the Luoyu Race’s Clan Treasure is the Luoyu Sacrificial Statue.”

The Red Flame Race and Luoyu Race are both tribes subordinate to the Qin Dynasty, possessing immense power.

”According to that ancient text, the Red Flame Roasting Flame and the Luoyu Sacrificial Statue are both first-class Xuan Treasures, their origins unknown, as if they have always existed in the world.”

”As for Sect Treasures, some can be considered third-class, second-class Xuan Treasures; some are merely fourth or fifth-class.”

”Spirit Treasures... Xuan Treasures...”

”Xuan Treasures below third-class can be refined, but above third-class, no traces can be found.”

”Like the Red Heart Exquisite Pendant I gave you, it’s third-class, fourth-class.”

The Red Heart Exquisite Pendant is only a third-class, fourth-class Xuan treasure?

Chu Ming was secretly shocked while thinking of the treasures he carried.

Gold Plate... Wind Spirit Clan Tree Spirit... Wolf Pattern Crown, the treasure of the Wolf Race... Bronze Fragments of the Nine Hordes Kingdom...

It seems that none are complete.

What exactly is the Gold Plate, and how many Golden Fragments are outside, is unknown.

The Wind Spirit Clan Tree Spirit, most of the time, rests inside the body. Whether it can rival the Red Flame Race’s Roasting Flame when fully restored is unknown.
