Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Inner Armor Affix Extraction
Hearing Liu Xilan’s words, the two junior brothers were stunned for a mont.
"Senior sister, you aren’t joking with us, are you..."
"What do you think? If this were truly a miraculous pill, why wouldn’t I give it to other junior brothers and sisters at Xiaoyao Peak?"
Hearing this, the two fell silent.
The Bone Tempering Pill was specially refined in the herb garden, its potency sothing an ordinary Martial Arts Cultivator couldn’t withstand.
Not to ntion Shen Han, who had never even touched the Martial Path.
Even for cultivators like them who have entered the Eighth Grade, they wouldn’t dare endure it without a word.
"Senior sister, are you suggesting...
that Shen Han has hidden his strength and is actually a genius?!"
The two junior brothers finally caught on.
Judging from Shen Han’s physique, he clearly hasn’t been exposed to the Martial Path, and even if he was, it hasn’t been long.
Yet he managed to endure the extrely potent effects of the Bone Tempering Pill.
This undoubtedly indicates extraordinary talent, a physique unlike any other!
Thinking this through, they suddenly saw him as a hot potato.
If Shen Han truly is a genius, once he overcos adversity and grows strong...
those who used to suppress him would be in trouble.
The two of them had received favors from Su Jinyu before coming, and now it felt like holding onto a thorn.
After a mont of contemplation, since the attempt to target Shen Han had failed, they decided to drop the matter.
It’s better for them to return to Xiaoyao Peak and cultivate in peace.
They then took out a Magical Artifact and sent so ssages out.
Capital City, Rain Listening Tower.
Su Jinyu sat in the pavilion, listening to the low hum of the long sword beside her.
Not yet twenty, Su Jinyu was nearly comprehending the Sword Heart, a truly outstanding talent.
Having been in the Capital City for so ti, Su Jinyu had exchanged Sword Techniques with her peers, and was already becoming invincible.
Many Sword Cultivators, upon eting Su Jinyu on the road, would even hide their swords.
Faced with Su Jinyu, that swordsman’s pride was gone.
The token at her waist flashed, and seeing the news sent by her senior brother from Xiaoyao Peak, her charming eyes lowered slightly.
Unexpectedly, it failed...
The ssage also ntioned that Shen Han was better than expected, with a steady temperant and handso appearance, considered outstanding.
Seeing this news, Su Jinyu didn’t take it seriously.
No matter how outstanding, could he be more outstanding than Brother Ye?
Although both are descendants of the Shen Family, the gap between them is like a chasm.
"Miss, Young Master Ye has arrived."
Su Jinyu stood up and put on a long robe, adding a hint of cuteness to her deanor.
"Brother Ye, weren’t you supposed to go to Xiang Mountain today for the discussion? How did you find the ti to visit
at the Rain Listening Pavilion?"
With a smile on her face, only in front of Shen Ye does Su Jinyu appear as a playful and cute girl.
"The teacher had so urgent matters today, so the discussion at Xiang Mountain was canceled midway, and I thought to visit as I passed by."
Accepting a cup of tea handed over by Su Jinyu, Shen Ye casually sat on a chair.
"By the way, did those two senior brothers already visit our Shen Family, did they resolve the matters?"
Su Jinyu shook her head, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
"This ti, with Senior Sister accompanying them, the senior sister has always been soft-hearted. Seeing Shen Han pitiful, she helped him...
Seeing Su Jinyu a bit disappointed, Shen Ye smiled and comforted her.
"Jinyu, you don’t need to worry. Dealing with such things at the Shen Family isn’t difficult. Leave it to
to arrange.
You focus on practicing your sword skills and work to surpass your senior sister, and step into the realm of Sword Immortal before her in the future."
Su Jinyu nodded obediently, such a manner is only shown to Shen Ye.
"But Sister Xilan indeed is a bit too soft-hearted. After all these years, Shen Han hasn’t achieved anything, hasn’t even entered the Martial Path.
He hasn’t been of any help to our Shen Family. This ti, letting him break so ridians and bones and calling off the marriage, is at least contributing to the family.
Moreover, after his disability, we’ll even arrange so maidservants to take care of him, as compensation."
At this point, the two didn’t dwell on this topic anymore.
They began discussing the cultivation of the Martial Path.
Both being young prodigies of the era, they had many topics in common.
As for Shen Han, he was just a small obstacle, an occasional topic of idle talk.
The engagent will end eventually; it’s just a matter of how the annulnt will be handled.
...
In the humble little room, Shen Han practiced "Mountain and River Body Refining Skill" every day.
Especially after Bone Tempering, his cultivation felt as natural as a fish in water.
The body technique manual "Lonely Wind Snow-Treading Step" was also not neglected.
With the attribute "simple and easy to learn," practicing and understanding it was not an issue, but Shen Han could only practice in his narrow room.
There were always people watching him outside, making cultivation inconvenient.
In his spare ti, Shen Han also looked at the "Hengyang Ironing Training Manual."
Gathering so worn materials, he spent half a day to forge an Inner Armor.
The Inner Armor was made of tal and leather, and without a close look, one wouldn’t even know it was an Inner Armor.
The mont his gaze fell on the Inner Armor he made, a line of small gray text appeared.
[Extrely Poor Quality Inner Armor]
That description was accurate indeed, extrely poor quality...
Shen Han’s face showed a wry smile; it seed he didn’t have much talent for blacksmithing.
However, with his mysterious ability, this Inner Armor could still be rejuvenated.
With a focused mind, extract!
The gray attribute [Extrely Poor Quality] imdiately fell off.
The Inner Armor that had previously looked like a piece of junk started to gleam slightly, looking sowhat new.
Pulling and tapping it with his hand, he could clearly feel its defensive toughness.
An Inner Armor of such quality might require a skilled blacksmith to create.
Shen Han wore it, at least adding another layer of protection.
Thinking for a mont, it seed he could apply another attribute to enhance the Inner Armor further.
He acted on the thought, heading toward other courtyards in the Shen Mansion.
Walking and observing the attributes of various items.
When he reached the front of the main courtyard, Shen Han stopped.
Four red lanterns hung at the entrance, surrounded by neatly trimd flowers and trees.
Beside each tree was a carved mischievous stone lion, crafted brilliantly, like a master’s work.
The cost of such a stone lion might exceed Shen Han’s expenses for several years.
Not wasting any ti, Shen Han turned his attention to these items.
[Exquisite Stone Carving]
[Brand New Lantern]
[Dense Fence]
[Finely Crafted Gate]
...
It seed only the attribute [Finely Crafted] was useful.
Positive attributes like these are much harder to extract than negative ones.
However, the attribute [Finely Crafted] was only blue, easier to extract than purple attributes.
After burning a stick of incense, he finally extracted the attribute.
The gate instantly looked much more worn.
With a focused mind, Shen Han applied the [Finely Crafted] attribute to his Inner Armor.
The Inner Armor, which already looked decent, suddenly gained a sense of quality.
Striking it with his hand, it could absorb most of the force, providing great protection to the wearer.
The effort wasn’t in vain, by wearing the Inner Armor, he should be able to withstand part of an ambush.
With so many tricks up his opponents’ sleeves, he could feel a bit more at ease.
He had both body technique and defense.
Now, unless faced with top-tier experts, he shouldn’t be easily defeated.
