Chapter 104 – Breakthrough Pill

“Hmph. The secret chamber will directly self-destruct unless you use the correct method to open it,” Zhu Chuanfeng said without even opening his eyes. “If you want to kill us, then kill us. With these things buried with us brothers, it will be worth it even if we die!”

Zhou Shu hesitated. Killing the Zhu brothers was easy, but what if what Zhu Chuanfeng said was the truth? Then, wouldn’t it be a waste of effort?

Suddenly, Zhou Shu saw Zhu Chuanfeng’s lips curl into a proud smile.

He really thought that he had grasped his weakness.

In other words, if he really couldn’t bear to part with those weapons and the massive amount of wealth, he might really be led by the nose by Zhu Chuanfeng.

However…

It was true that Zhou Shu came for the seven heaven-grade weapons, but it didn’t mean that he couldn’t lack these seven heaven-grade weapons!

He, Zhou Shu, was a forger who was a future Grand Craftsman. No matter how good a heaven-grade weapon was, he would be able to forge it himself in the future.

It was naturally good to obtain these seven heaven-grade weapons. But if he couldn’t obtain them, he would at most lose a windfall. What effect would it have on him?

If Zhu Chuanfeng thought that he could threaten him with this, then he had truly underestimated Zhou Shu!

With a flick of his wrist, a streak of saber light appeared like a celestial being riding the wind.

Zhu Chuanfeng suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His throat made choking sounds, but he couldn’t form a complete sentence.

Then a red line appeared on his and Zhu Chuanzhi’s necks at the same time. Both of them clutched their necks and slowly fell to the ground.

Both of them didn’t die in peace.

It was only a matter of time before one who killed got killed. Zhu Chuanfeng had schemed against him time and time again, so Zhou Shu didn’t feel bad killing them at all.

Furthermore, the two of them had seen his face. If he didn’t kill them, when they fell into the Divine Constable Bureau’s hands and got tortured into confessions, his strength would be exposed.

I wonder if what he said about his treasures being hidden in the post house is true. Even if it’s true, I can’t go there now, Zhou Shu thought.

He was almost certain that Zhu Chuanfeng’s reinforcements were at the post house and that these reinforcements could even deal with third-rank Divine Constable Bureau experts.

Zhou Shu didn’t want to get into trouble.

As for whether he should go to the post house to investigate in the future, there was no need to be anxious. He could wait.

Zhou Shu glanced at their bodies. He couldn’t be bothered to take care of their bodies, so he walked away.

He had just taken a step when his movements suddenly froze.

Only he could see the two barrages of messages floating past his eyes.

[You receive a Breakthrough Pill because the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber you forged effectively completed a kill!]

[You receive a Breakthrough Pill because the Autumn Anatidae Plume Saber you forged effectively completed a kill!]

Zhou Shu was slightly taken aback. This wasn’t the first time he had received feedback from the Legendary Armament Canon. But the benefits he had received previously were all cultivation techniques. This time, it was actually an item?

Breakthrough Pill?

With a thought from Zhou Shu, two thumb-sized red pills appeared in his palm.

A piece of information regarding the Breakthrough Pill automatically appeared in Zhou Shu’s mind.

[Those below the first rank are able to directly break through a level after taking the Breakthrough Pill, defying all conditions. Taking more than one pill will not serve any effect.]

Defying all conditions and directly breaking through one level?

Zhou Shu was a bit surprised, but the last condition disappointed him.

He could only take one pill. It was useless to take more. In other words, he could only increase his cultivation by one level at most?

This was too useless.

Speaking of which, his cultivation system seemed to be different from the Martial Dao system in this world. The Breakthrough Pill was able to break through a level below the first rank. If he consumed one, how would he break through?

Zhou Shu didn’t even know what rank he was at. He didn’t have any spiritual essence in his body. The Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique cultivated the physical body, the Golden Bell Shield Technique cultivated the physical body and true qi, the spiritual strength cultivated by the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form Technique was also known as divine sense, and the Heavenly Saber Art was purely a saber technique.

This was completely different from the spiritual essence cultivated in this world.

If he consumed a Breakthrough Pill, would it be the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique breaking through or the Golden Bell Shield Technique breaking through? Or would it be the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form breaking through?

Without any hesitation, Zhou Shu picked up a Breakthrough Pill and popped it into his mouth.

The Legendary Armament Canon only said that it was useless to consume too many pills. It didn’t say that it was harmful to consume too many pills. Even if it was ineffective to him, it shouldn’t be harmful.

Zhou Shu trusted the Legendary Armament Canon very much.

The pill melted in his mouth, and a warm stream flowed down his throat and into his stomach.

Crack!

Zhou Shu seemed to hear the sound of an eggshell shattering. True qi surged out from his dantian and instantly flowed through his entire body. His body seemed to have expanded, then contracted back.

A layer of faint golden light flashed on the surface of his body.

He had broken through to the eighth level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique!

At the eighth level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique, one’s cultivation had already reached a level where one’s entire body wouldn’t be injured by any sharp weapon. The only weaknesses were three inches from one’s vital points. No matter how strong or weak the opponent’s attack was, it would emit an incomparably fierce rebound force, and those who were hit would either die or be injured.

This Breakthrough Pill was really useful. It allowed him to directly breakthrough one level in his Golden Bell Shield Technique.

Under normal circumstances, if he wanted to break through to the eighth level of the Golden Bell Shield Technique, he would still need the Horse Slaying Sabers to complete dozens or even hundreds of kills.

Good stuff!

Zhou Shu was overjoyed. Without any hesitation, he threw the other Breakthrough Pill into his mouth.

It was soft to the mouth and melted into his throat.

Then… there was no ‘then’.

It was exactly the same as eating candy.

Indeed, it was useless to consume more than one pill.

Zhou Shu felt a bit regretful. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have eaten it right now. He would have eaten it when the Golden Bell Shield Technique was about to break through to the twelfth level or when the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique was about to break through to the thirteenth level. That would have been the most effective method.

However, he didn’t know if he would still be considered below the first rank then.

Zhou Shu’s regret disappeared in a flash. It didn’t matter. Even if he didn’t have the Breakthrough Pill, he would still be able to succeed in cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and the Golden Bell Shield Technique. Wouldn’t he just have to let the Huben Sabers and the Horse Slaying Sabers complete more kills?

Great Xia didn’t lack battles, and the Huben Sabers and Horse Slaying Sabers Sabers also didn’t lack opportunities to kill enemies.

Previously, I thought that the Legendary Armament Canon’s benefits were all about cultivation techniques. But now, it seems like that’s not necessarily the case. With the Breakthrough Pill, I believe that there will be other physical items as well. I wonder if there will be a day when it can directly give me a smartphone? Zhou Shu thought.

The Legendary Armament Canon was mysterious and unpredictable. Who knew what it would give?

This gave Zhou Shu the feeling that he was opening a blind box. He didn’t know what the next weapon would be, nor did he know what benefits he would receive from the next weapon.

Even though he felt a little helpless, he was also full of anticipation.

Someone’s coming! While Zhou Shu was thinking, his ears suddenly twitched. Without thinking, he ran in the opposite direction.

Although the name the Golden Bell Shield Technique was a little tacky, it was an authentic peerless martial art. After mastering it, not only was one invulnerable to swords and spears, one would also be impervious to fire and water. Furthermore, Zhou Shu’s moves were as strong as wind and thunder and as light as a feather. He was able to run on the waves without falling.

Even though Zhou Shu’s Golden Bell Shield Technique was only at the eighth level and was still far from achieving greater mastery, the might of the Golden Bell Shield Technique was already beginning to show. As he leaped forward, it was as if he had teleported, and he quickly disappeared into the forest.

A few seconds after he left, a figure descended from the sky.

At the same time, a few figures rushed over frantically on the ground. They were only slightly slower than the figures descending from the sky.

Yin Wuyou’s figure appeared and arrived in front of the two corpses. “Zhu Chuanfeng!”

Yin Wuyou’s face was ashen, and a trace of worry flashed through her eyes. She quickly looked around, but she didn’t find a third corpse. She let out a sigh of relief, but her heart was still in her throat.

“Your Highness, someone just left in this direction!” a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes said in a deep voice. His eyes flickered with a strange light, as if he could see things that others couldn’t.

When martial artists cultivated to a certain realm, some people would have some magical powers. The Fiend Eradication Army lieutenant in front of her clearly had magical powers.

It was also his tracking ability that allowed them to catch up so quickly.

“Chase!” Yin Wuyou shouted and was about to leap up.

“Your Highness, wait!” Another loud shout stopped Yin Wuyou.

Another lieutenant stood up from the corpses of Zhu Chuanfeng and Zhu Chuanzhi.

After arriving at the scene, the lieutenant immediately checked the bodies of the Zhu brothers.

“Your Highness, they died under the Saber Cave’s saber intent,” the Fiend Eradication Army lieutenant said in a deep voice. “The person who attacked was that mysterious expert!”

Only ranked martial artists could join the Fiend Eradication Army. Fiend Eradication Army lieutenants had to be at least a seventh-rank martial artist.

They were not the kind of rookie soldiers from the Country Protector Army. It could be said that any soldier in the Fiend Eradication Army was a high and mighty existence.

A Fiend Eradication Army lieutenant sounded as though he was on the same level as the Huben Troops lieutenant Cheng Yong, but they were on two completely different levels. Their positions were completely different.

Fiend Eradication Army lieutenants were qualified to access some secrets, such as the Saber Cave in the capital or the existence of mysterious experts.

“I don’t care who attacked them. We have to find Zhou Shu!” Yin Wuyou said. “If he’s alive, I want to see him. If he’s dead, I want to see his corpse!”

She stomped her feet and leaped into the air. Clouds seemed to be rising beneath her feet as she quickly chased after the Fiend Eradication Army lieutenant.

The few officers looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes.

The bodies of the Zhu brothers were here. Their mission had been completed. As for the life and death of the workshop superintendent, was it important?

Not at all.

He was just a Forging Apprentice. It wasn’t worth it for them to mobilize the Fiend Eradication Army.

But the princess had already gone ahead to go after the mysterious expert. How could they turn a blind eye to her?

Impossible!

If anything happened to the princess, they wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences!

Leaving behind two officers to deal with Zhu Chuanfeng’s and Zhu Chuanzhi’s corpses, the rest of the officers followed in the direction that Yin Wuyou had gone. They executed their movement techniques and chased after her.

They didn’t have the ability to fly, but when they used their movement techniques, they were like raging bulls charging through the mountains. Their speed was not much slower than Yin Wuyou’s..
