Free Web NovelChapter 9: Ruthless Woman, Small Teaser
Four Days Later;
The group finally reached their destination. After many battles, they were tired, hungry, thirsty, and even helpless.
But the hope in their heart was burning brighter than before.
Because they had successfully reached the place where they could find the treasures of a Golden Core cultivator.
"This is it. We can finally get the rewards of our hard work."
Billy excitedly shouted while running towards a large cave.
Sure enough! It was a cave.
Marx, following behind, was speechless. If there is a treasure in the cultivation world, there must be a cave.
It was like a universal rule.
He didn’t understand the cultivators’ obsession with leaving their inheritance inside a cave.
Nonetheless, he decided to follow them, but something strange happened.
Yuna caught those people using her Qi and pulled them inside the cave.
Because Marx was hiding from them, he couldn’t rush in front of them.
The moment they entered the cave, there was no door that closed, much to his relief.
But the ground shook.
Soon, Marx understood why that woman took those people and ran inside the cave. There was an Adult Beast waiting just outside the cave.
The beast was nearly ten meters tall, like a giant with four arms and two legs. He held a large club and smashed it against the cave.
Bang!
A slightly golden barrier appeared before the cave, which blocked the attack from the club.
’Now, I am getting more curious about her. She didn’t use them to distract this beast; instead took them inside.’
’So, she definitely knows about this place, but if it is a Golden Core inheritance site, how could she know about it?’
’Maybe I am wrong.’
Marx paused and shook his head.
’No, that guy Max didn’t have any powerful treasures that helped him cross the boundaries between the mortal realm and the immortal realm.’
’That means other immortals can also cross that boundary and take possession of the cultivators from the mortal realm.’
’But if that’s the case, how did she know about the interior of this inheritance? Could it be she investigated it before?’
’That could be the reason, right?’
Unfortunately, Marx didn’t realize just how close he was to the truth.
He immediately changed his attention to the beast in front of him. He was excited but also terrified of facing this beast.
After all, he was still at the sixth stage of the Qi Sea Realm. At the same time, his Pseudo Lightning Body was also at an early stage.
More importantly, due to the restrictions of the spell, he couldn’t utilize the powerful spells in his memories.
In other words, he had to rely on something he already had.
’System, buy me three Bronze Gacha Tickets and then use them to buy two Fire Burst Talismans and one Lightning Serpent Spell!’
As he made a mental decision, in less than three seconds, two yellow talismans with black lines forming a complicated pattern appeared.
Holding these two talismans, he crafted a plan in his mind.
He placed both talismans in his left hand, raised his right hand, and started channeling his Qi into his palm.
Applying his lightning element to the Qi, he transformed it into lightning Qi.
’So powerful! It is truly deserving of its combat-oriented element. Even though wind has more severing power, the potential of lightning destructiveness is higher.’
Feeling the sheer power of the lightning Qi in his palm, he closed his eyes.
At this moment, he knew the giant beast had already sensed his Qi. The moment it sensed that, it began running towards him.
But the lightning Qi in his hand began to transform into a long rope.
With several incantations coming out of his mouth, the rope suddenly transformed into the head of a snake and rushed forward.
[Lightning Serpent Spell]
It was a high-grade spell that he bought from the store.
It was truly frustrating that despite having so many arts and spells in his mind, he couldn’t use a single one of them.
Even the lowest-level spell was a Great Fire Dragon Spell, a Spirit Rank Top-Grade Spell.
If he wanted to use it, he had to reach the Nascent Soul Realm.
At this moment, the serpent made out of lightning bit into the chest of the giant beast before paralyzing it with the lightning effect.
The entire lightning serpent left his hand and tightly bound the giant to the ground.
Thud!
The sound of its fall was quite loud, but this wasn’t enough to bind it for long.
Marx knew that. His spell was only a high-grade spell. Despite being high-grade, the only reason why it was able to bind his opponent was thanks to his lightning mastery.
In the first stage of Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Technique, he had mastered the lightning element.
Of course, the lightning element could be much more powerful.
He had only mastered the first level of the lightning element, but with his cultivation, that was already amazing.
Because of this, he was able to bind the giant for a moment.
And using that time, he immediately infused his Qi into the talismans and threw them towards the giant’s body.
Those two talismans slapped into the left and right sides of the giant’s body before they began to glow brightly.
The symbol on those talismans magnified, leaving the surface of the talismans before the talismans turned into a bomb and exploded.
Boom! Boom!
The power of two talismans wasn’t enough to kill it, but it was enough to injure it. While it was injured, Marx rushed towards the cave at full speed.
As soon as he touched the shadow of the cave, he stopped and released a deep breath.
"Hoo!"
’That worked! Although that cost me three Gacha Points, it was well worth it.’
’But this also means Bronze talismans can only help me against Qi Sea Realm cultivators.’
’So, if I am in a pinch against a Foundation Established cultivator, I have to buy Silver talismans.’
’Damn it! If I didn’t know I would be using those arts and spells in the future, I truly want to curse that guy’s knowledge.’
’It’s just a large treasure trove, but I can’t use a single treasure.’
Although Marx said that, he knew it was only angry talk. In truth, he was using the Great Evolution Technique and Qi Concealment Technique.
One was a cultivation technique, and the other was a Secret Technique.
Both could be used regardless of his cultivation. Of course, there were other secret techniques, but they had few restrictions.
In fact, the only reason why he was able to use the Qi Concealment Technique was purely due to his Innate Dao Body.
It gave him an insane comprehension, allowing him to understand this secret technique in just a few minutes.
Within four days, he had already mastered it to Minor Accomplishment.
Although it was just a Minor Accomplishment, he had been practicing the Wind Steps Spell for six years, and he had only reached Major Accomplishment.
That was six years time limit with the lowest difficulty level.
Qi Concealment Technique was an Earth Rank Secret Technique.
That meant its difficulty level was at least fifty times greater than Wind Controlling Technique.
Even so, within just four days, he went from Entry-level to Basic Mastery to Minor Accomplishment.
He was pretty sure that if he practiced this technique for a few more days, he would reach Major Accomplishment.
Then, within a few more days, he could reach the Completion stage.
As for the Perfection after that, it would require an opportunity or challenge rather than simple practice. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
The six stages of understanding were Entry-level, Basic Mastery, Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, Completion, and Perfection.
This understanding was not based on the actual stages of the technique or spells.
For example, each stage of the Heavenly Lightning Body Tempering Technique didn’t require understanding.
Like Pseudo Lightning Body and True Lightning Body, it only required him to temper his body with lightning.
Comprehending lightning required understanding. But that wasn’t divided into six stages.
Lightning Element was divided into nine levels.
It was Lightning Body Armor that was divided into six stages.
According to his training and control over the Lightning Element, Marx had reached Basic Mastery in this.
This was another reason why he wanted to get this inheritance. He had a lot of information, but they were too high-level.
For a low-level cultivator like him, those could lead to troublesome situations or unbreakable doors.
Without a teacher or a guide, he could only rely on the inheritance.
’No matter what, I must get this inheritance, but I also have to figure out what that woman is planning here.’

In the center of the cave;
There were only three people, but two of them had large holes through their chests.
Only Yuan was standing, spotless and cold, waiting for those bodies to fall.
Thud!
With despair, hatred, and anger, both of them died with their eyes open.
