Shen Mo asked a few more questions related to the Hundred Sects Ceremony.
After getting his answers, he left the mountaintop courtyard.
Returning to his residence, he thought, "Eight Directions Thunderous Movent is a top-level Profound Grade martial skill. I should start learning it."
Shen Mo took out the reward he had won today.
It was a thin book with the four characters "Eight Directions Thunderous Movent" written boldly on the cover.
Shen Mo carefully read through it. Upon finishing, he imdiately realized that it was a movent technique.
Cultivation thods are used to increase one's stage, whereas martial skills are used for combat.
Therefore, martial skills are classified into various categories, far more than cultivation thods.
Martial skills can be at least divided into offensive skills, defensive skills, and movent skills.
Additionally, there are special skills that cannot be used directly for combat but can provide other significant benefits.
"Although Thunder Shadow Sword Technique is a mid-grade Xuan-level skill, its power is strong enough to rival top-grade Xuan-level skills."
"I already have an offensive skill, but I'm lacking in defensive and movent skills."
"This Eight Directions Thunderous Movent can be my movent skill."
Shen Mo imdiately began to diligently comprehend and practice it.
Eight Directions Thunderous Movent had eight levels.
Each level could enhance speed.
Shen Mo planned to master the second level before heading to Cold Water Ravine near Qingshan City to find the Alchemy King's Inheritance Site.
This would ensure greater safety.
Half a month later, in Shen Mo's courtyard.
A figure moved like a swift gust of wind. The wind howled within the courtyard.
Leaves were caught in it and instantly shredded into countless pieces.
"Hoo..."
The figure suddenly disappeared. Shen Mo stopped and took a deep breath.
Although he was covered in sweat, his face was full of joy.
The speed of Eight Directions Thunderous Movent was faster than he had imagined.
Having just mastered the second level, his speed already far exceeded typical Profound Grade movent skills.
Among the eight Profound Grade martial skills of Qingxuan Sect, four were offensive, two were defensive, and two were movent skills.
The two movent skills were mid-grade and top-grade Xuan-level, called Spirit Snake Steps and Ripple Shadow.
Zhao Rou practiced Spirit Snake Steps, and Zhao Ting practiced Ripple Shadow.
Shen Mo had seen them perform these movent skills, but their speed was nowhere near Eight Directions Thunderous Movent.
"Good, it's ti to head to the Alchemy King's Inheritance Site."
Shen Mo prepared himself thoroughly. Before leaving, he glanced at his life panel.
[Recent Opportunity: Today, you will go to Cold Water Ravine near Qingshan City, discover the Alchemy King's Inheritance Site, and use the Insight Elixir in your possession as a key to open the door, gaining entry and claiming all the treasures inside.]
Shen Mo was delighted.
The life panel's indication ant that even if there were any formations or traps within the Alchemy King's Inheritance Site, he would be able to overco them with his current strength.
"The Alchemy King's Inheritance Site is mine!"
"I hope to find enough top-level Profound Grade treasures to aid my Core Formation. I would be satisfied with just over twenty."
Shen Mo smiled.
He didn't leave through the main gate but quietly exited Qingxuan Sect without anyone noticing.
Then, he headed directly to Cold Water Ravine outside Qingshan City without stopping.
The ravine was an ordinary mountain stream. However, its water was exceptionally cold and clear.
It seed normal, but ordinary people would experience severe stomach pains after drinking it.
Shen Mo observed that the water contained a high concentration of ice spiritual energy.
Ordinary people couldn't absorb such an amount of ice spiritual energy, naturally leading to unbearable abdominal pain.
At least a cultivator in the Qi Condensation Realm was needed to drink this water.
Without hesitation, Shen Mo popped a Breath Holding Pill into his mouth and jumped into the ravine.
He swam straight towards the depths of Cold Water Ravine. The depth exceeded his expectations.
However, he had prepared dozens of Breath Holding Pills.
As long as the ravine wasn't over a thousand ters deep, he was confident he could reach the bottom.
After descending about three hundred ters, Shen Mo finally touched the bottom.
He took out a fist-sized pearl from his storage ring. The pearl emitted a bright light in the water, allowing him to see clearly.
This item was called a Water Bright Pearl, which only glowed when it encountered water.
It wasn't valuable, rely a yellow-grade treasure that could be bought for a few dozen low-grade spirit stones.
Shen Mo ticulously explored the rock walls, and after about half an hour, he found a peculiar spot.
The rock wall here was extrely smooth.
However, in the center of the smooth rock wall, there was a circular indentation.
Shen Mo's heart stirred, and he took out the Insight Elixir, placing it into the indentation.
Creak, creak.
A subtle sound ca from within the rock wall. Then, a powerful suction suddenly appeared.
Shen Mo couldn't control his body, and everything spun around him.
He felt as if he were being sucked into sowhere. His head felt dizzy, and darkness surrounded him.
When light gradually returned to his vision, he found himself in a stone chamber.
There was no water, and it was quite dry.
Shen Mo looked at himself and found no traces of water on his body.
It seed that upon entering, the moisture on his body had been repelled.
"As expected of the Alchemy King, what a skillful thod."
Shen Mo looked around, carefully examining his surroundings.
The stone chamber was exquisitely carved, with no signs of roughness.
Inside the chamber were a stone table, stone chairs, and a stone bed, indicating that soone had lived here.
Shen Mo approached the stone table and found a jade slip and a storage ring.
He picked them up instinctively. As the jade slip touched his fingers, a voice entered his mind.
"There are no killing formations or poisons in this inheritance site; you can rest assured."
Shen Mo's heart stirred. This must be a ssage left by the Alchemy King.
"What kind of storage ring is this?"
Shen Mo cautiously touched it and sent his consciousness inside. He was surprised by what he found.
Inside the storage ring were two bottles of elixirs, labeled as Pure Essence Stabilizing Pills!
But that wasn't the most surprising thing.
The most surprising thing was that the storage ring's capacity was much larger than he had imagined!
It asured ten feet in length, width, and height!
"This is a top-grade storage ring! Its capacity is a thousand tis that of a low-grade storage ring!"
Shen Mo was thrilled.
The storage ring he had from Murong Yue was a low-grade one, with dinsions of just one cubic ter.
A mid-grade storage ring had dinsions of three feet and was usually owned by Core Formation experts like Murong Yue and Liu Yuanfeng.
As for a top-grade storage ring, Shen Mo hadn't seen anyone in Qingxuan Sect possess one.
"Receiving such a grand gift right away, with this top-grade storage ring, my trip is already worthwhile."
Shen Mo was satisfied. He approached the stone door and gently pushed it.
The door opened with ease.
In the next mont, a radiant treasure light filled his vision, and a rich spiritual energy filled his nostrils.
Three light clusters floated on three basalt stone platforms. They looked like ownerless treasures awaiting a new master.
Each light cluster contained an item. On the left was a dark purple elixir.
In the middle was a crimson demon soul. On the right was another elixir, but this one was erald green.
Shen Mo reached out, and the three treasures obediently fell into his palm.
Each of the three stone platforms had inscriptions. Shen Mo examined them one by one.
The dark purple elixir was nad the Taiyi Soul Nourishing Pill, a low-grade Earth-level elixir, used to enhance one's physique.
The crimson demon soul belonged to a peak fourth-tier demonic beast, the Scarlet Fla Python, and could be used as a spirit for a spiritual weapon.
The erald green elixir was nad the Great Insight Elixir, also a low-grade Earth-level elixir, which provided even greater insight.
"These are Earth-level elixirs!"
"As expected of the Alchemy King! These must be his masterpieces."
Shen Mo was full of admiration.
Earth-level elixirs were extrely difficult to refine, requiring nurous Earth-level dicinal materials, and had a very low success rate.
Just gathering the materials could take decades.
The Alchemy King not only succeeded but also managed to produce more than one.
This alone was worthy of great respect from future generations.
