Chapter 1022: Chapter 59: The Enchantress’s Surprise
Yan Yu yawned.
Having helped others so many tis, he had beco precise in controlling the amount of True Yang he extracted, avoiding severe damage to his vitality.
But this ti, the damage was more ntal because Tang Xiaolian’s voice was incredibly penetrating… even now, Yan Yu felt her cries echoing in his ears.
Am I really that violent?
In terms of combat power, Tang Xiaolian and Xie Ruoxi were of the sa level: the ultra-soft type that would collapse with a gentle push, distinctly different from others.
The difference was, faced with Yan Yu’s brute strength, Xie Ruoxi would quickly choose to give up, “Either kill or let go”; while Tang Xiaolian would go, “Although I can’t beat you, I’ll scream so the whole world knows you’re bullying .”
Moreover, in terms of attributes, Xie Ruoxi was like clay, appearing completely exhausted and unable to move, but would suddenly start wriggling in a strange way.
On the other hand, Tang Xiaolian was more like water… no need to explain further.
Of course, Yan Yu didn’t mind any of this. He simply enjoyed helping others and wanted to train more powerful Golden Core True n for Lu Country. So whether made of water, clay, or cent, he would selflessly, and gladly, take on the responsibility!
Yan Yu reached Mr. i’s laboratory door when he suddenly heard Zhao Yuanzhen’s impatient voice from inside:
“No, absolutely not! This is a secret technique of our sect, it cannot be taught outside, don’t even think about it!”
“You’ve already taught it to Yan Yu, why can’t I know?” i Yingxue replied patiently, “How about this? I’ll exchange a secret technique from Ei Sword Sect with you…”
“Forget it, forget it!” Zhao Yuanzhen shouted, “Your so-called secret techniques from Ei Sword Sect are written in the textbooks you compiled and distributed to every Military Manor Cultivator in Lu Country. How can that be compared to my Puppet Technique?”
The two were bickering when Yan Yu pushed the door open and ca in from outside. Zhao Yuanzhen imdiately walked up in three steps and hugged Yan Yu’s arm, indignantly shouting:
“Yan Yu, she wants to steal my Puppet Technique, you help beat her up.”
Yan Yu certainly wouldn’t beat up Mr. i, but with his arm tightly held by the enchantress, even the hardest heart would soften. So he asked i Yingxue:
“What’s going on?”
“I want to exchange for her Golden Cicada Shelling technique.” i Yingxue said seriously, “If promoted among the Military Manor Cultivators, it could greatly reduce their battle casualties.”
“Golden Cicada Shelling, that’s the escape technique she used when you first crossed to Earth, to evade your pursuit, right?” Yan Yu pondered and asked, “Doesn’t it require using a puppet as a sacrifice?”
“Exactly!” Zhao Yuanzhen imdiately agreed, “Puppet manipulation is very complicated, a Sword Immortal like you can’t use it. Just give up the idea.”
“It’s not for , it’s for the Military Manor Cultivators.” i Yingxue explained, “I don’t need the entire Puppet Technique, just the Golden Cicada Shelling’s secret thod. This way, the Military Manor Cultivators won’t need to master the puppet manipulation, they just need to use it to block fatal attacks at critical monts.”
“Then every Military Manor Cultivator needs a puppet.” Yan Yu said.
“The lowest level puppet should be no problem,” i Yingxue replied, “With the technological advancents from mass-producing the Xuan Guang Ruler, we now have the capability for industrial production of so low-level magic treasures.”
“My puppets are not low-level magic treasures!” Zhao Yuanzhen shouted angrily.
“Since they’re only used for dying in place, there’s no need to produce high-quality puppets.” i Yingxue insisted, “As long as they can be used for Golden Cicada Shelling.”
“You an like the Shinyori Simie paper-man death substitution?” Yan Yu asked, “Make the puppets as small and light as possible, carry them around, and only use them for Golden Cicada Shelling.”
“Exactly.” i Yingxue nodded, “It could lower the mortality rate of the Military Manor Cultivators.”
“But there’s a problem with that.” Yan Yu said.
“What problem?”
“Once the secret technique is spread, if it falls into the hands of rogue cultivators, it’ll be hard to kill them.” Yan Yu said.
i Yingxue was silent for a mont and then asked:
“What if it’s kept highly confidential?”
“Can sothing distributed to every Military Manor Cultivator be kept highly confidential?” Yan Yu asked with a sneer.
The answer was, of course, no. For example, Mr. i’s Sword Control Technique textbook theoretically should only be circulated within the four armies, but in reality, almost every rogue cultivator knew it… No matter how strict the confidentiality, if enough people knew about it, the secret would definitely get out.
“Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators below the Core Formation stage are typically strong in attack but weak in defense.” Yan Yu continued to analyze, “If you hit first, I die; if I hit you first, you die. Military Manor Cultivators are superior to rogue cultivators through systematic training, with stronger first-strike and concentrated fire capabilities.”
“If the life-preserving secret technique of Golden Cicada Shelling spreads uncontrollably, Military Manor Cultivators might often find themselves unable to kill rogue cultivators although they’ve won. The opponent throws out a puppet and escapes. How will you stop them from causing trouble then?”
i Yingxue struggled with her emotions for a mont and said unwillingly:
“What if we control the puppet production technology and strictly forbid its circulation?”
“It’s uncontrollable.” Yan Yu shook his head, “Elixir dicines are also strictly regulated and nationally controlled, yet black market elixir trades persist. There will always be lucky individuals who find elixir sources in special mysterious realms. How can you ensure no one can supply puppets? The scarcity is in the dharma thods, not the materials.”
