"Yellow Grannie Skill..."
Xue Jing's eyes widened with surprise.
He had not expected that the bonus reward given by Cease-Blades would be this cultivation technique.
His master, Li Qi, had once ntioned to him that in the aspect of "Organ Nourishing," the Taoist Sect's Yellow Grannie Skill could be considered the most professional and was the unique internal cultivation technique in the world.
The Hidden Dragon School walked the path of external techniques. Its thods for organ nourishing were quite ordinary, only able to indirectly strengthen the organs through the Armor Shaking Skill while training the skin, flesh, tendons, bones, and blood simultaneously.
Therefore, Li Qi had always regretted not obtaining the "Yellow Grannie Skill" in his youth.
Unexpectedly, this technique, which Li Qi had never forgotten, had now so easily co into his possession.
Xue Jing's gaze flickered as he flipped a few more pages of the thread-bound book, roughly reviewing the contents.
It was filled with various Power circulation routes written in traditional characters, accompanying anatomical illustrations, and so cryptic Taoist verses.
He did not look further but closed the book and placed it to the side of the table, planning to let his master Li Qi verify whether it was indeed the real Yellow Grannie Skill or not.
"Is this [GOD-1062・Ice Skates]?"
While asking, Xue Jing reached out to pick up the seemingly ordinary white ice skates from the box.
The mont his hands touched them, a prompt imdiately popped up on the panel.
[Detecting Divine Substance, absorbing Divinity...]
"Yes," Ning Yuantai nodded.
Seeing Xue Jing curiously studying them, Ning Yuantai thought for a mont and then spoke:
"Xue, it's better if you just look at these. Don't put them on."
"Divine Relics invariably have side effects, without exception... The side effect of GOD-1062 is quite severe. Once put on, they will integrate with the wearer, and the only way to remove them is through amputation."
"Moreover, for so reason, after amputation, no dical treatnt can heal it. Not even those top doctors who can perform 'Super Surgery.' It's as if... part of the soul has also been severed along with it."
"Every person who has ever worn GOD-1062 only has the choice of replacing their limbs with Alien Implants."
Xue Jing nodded, "I understand."
He had previously read the data on the ice skates and knew better than to do sothing foolish.
After pondering, Xue Jing spoke, "Yuantai, may I ask who that influential figure is who gave this 'Yellow Grannie Skill'?"
The reward for capturing The Skin-Peeler, because of his own request, was the Divine Relic, while the "Yellow Grannie Skill" was additional.
Why was it included? Because he had killed a Pureblood Dragon Species, and they saw him as a talent they wanted to attract?
Xue Jing had an intuition that there might be more than just that reason.
The appropriateness of the "Yellow Grannie Skill" as a reward seed not just an impromptu decision to attract talent, but rather like a well-deliberated choice made by an elder for their own descendant.
Considering the previous call from the head teacher asking him to serve as a martial arts examiner, Youqing had ntioned that there was soone higher up protecting him, which made Xue Jing feel that these two matters might be connected...
"I am not very clear about the details," Ning Yuantai said in a low voice.
"When my commanding officer inford , the explanation given was 'a certain important person'... I too was curious and inquired further, but even my commanding officer wasn't clear on the details. He got the term 'a certain important person' from soone higher up as well."
Xue Jing shook his head, "Who knows what they are up to, so secretive."
Since he couldn't figure it out right away, Xue Jing didn't dwell on it.
After all, he was reaping benefits, not detrints.
As for how much price was secretly marked on this gift of fate... he would find out later.
Xue Jing and Ning Yuantai talked for a long ti.
Ning Yuantai had an extensive background, originating from the Thirteen Great Families, and although not of the main lineage, he knew many things that ordinary people were unaware of.
Xue Jing gained a lot of insider knowledge from him about The Sixth Agency, including specific details on the Thirteen Great Families, increasing his knowledge significantly.
More than an hour later, Ning Yuantai tactfully said his goodbyes, ntioning that he would return in three days to collect [GOD-1062].
After he left, Xue Jing glanced at the panel.
[Divine Absorption complete]
[Possessed Divinity:1663]
Xue Jing set down the ice skates, nodding in satisfaction.
"Over five hundred points, not bad."
He looked at the panel, his gaze moving to the Divine Skill section where [Dragon Horn] lay.
[Dragon Horn Lv4 (Divinity needed for upgrade:1663/800)]
After pondering, he clicked upgrade.
[Dragon Horn Lv5 (Divinity needed for upgrade:863/1200)]
Following his acquisition of the Extraordinary Skill [True Martial], the structure of his body underwent a fundantal change, allowing him to withstand cultivation intensities far beyond his previous capabilities.
The maximum gravity that Lv4 of Dragon Horn could add was fifteen tis. His True Martial Body could completely withstand this, even having so strength to spare, without the feeling of near death due to extre training.
Any amount of Divinity spent on accelerating growth was worthwhile.
Xue Jing stood up, and with a crackling sound, the Lightning Dragon Horn appeared atop his head, silver-white Dragon Thunder feather belts wrapping around his body.
Compared to Lv4, the current Dragon Thunder Feather Belts were thicker and brighter.
With a thought, gravity enveloped him.
"Pili Pili—"
The silver-white Thunder Feather Belts grew thicker and more brilliant.
Fifteen tis, sixteen tis, seventeen tis...
Up to twenty tis, Xue Jing felt that this was the limit of [Dragon Horn Lv5].
And the maximum training gravity he could endure himself was about seventeen tis.
"Lv5 is enough for now," Xue Jing clenched his fist and dispersed the Dragon Horn above his head.
At that mont, the door to the room opened, and Miao Miao, still drowsy, walked out with her elegant cat steps.
She yawned, showing a few small Tiger Teeth, and jumped onto the dining table.
