Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Minor Mastery of Thunder Blade Triple Extremities Slash

After work, Lu Yuan and Liu Zhi arrived at the Yan Residence. Liu Lianyue was already there.

"Here are the Lifespan Extension Pill and Body Nourishing Pill you asked for," Liu Lianyue said, handing a green jade bottle and a red jade bottle to Lu Yuan. The green bottle contained the Lifespan Extension Pill, and the red one held the Body Nourishing Pill.

"How much are they?" Lu Yuan asked.

"The market price for the Lifespan Extension Pill is three thousand five hundred taels, and the Body Nourishing Pill is five hundred taels. I’ll give you a fifty percent discount, so two thousand taels in total," Liu Lianyue answered in detail, a smile gracing her lips.

"Alright, that’s equivalent to one Profound Weapon." Lu Yuan smiled and walked into the Weapon-Forging Room.

Half an hour later, he emerged holding a Profound Weapon long saber.

"The quality seems to have improved." Liu Lianyue smiled brightly, her eyes gentle like water. "After discussing it back home, we’d like to custom-order two spears, a battleaxe, a Battle Halberd, and for the remaining six, three sabers and three swords."

To hold an auction, they needed a variety of Profound Weapons. A Profound Weapon Battle Halberd and Profound Weapon spears were much more appealing to buyers than standard sabers and swords.

"No problem. However, forging a Battle Halberd requires the best materials." Lu Yuan nodded.

He could forge anything as long as he had the materials. The Battle Halberd combined the advantages of weapons like spears and sabers, earning it the alias of a War God Weapon. The Halberd Blade, in particular, had extremely high material requirements.

"As long as you have no problems on your end, little brother Lu Yuan, we won’t have any on ours," Liu Lianyue said with complete confidence.

The Liu Family had been operating in the Jade Capital for a thousand years, so they naturally had their channels. If a Battle Halberd was forged well, there would be people willing to buy it even for tens of thousands of taels of silver.

"You can even forge a Profound Weapon Battle Halberd? I heard that the only people who can forge them are master artisans with decades of experience or those over a hundred years old. How long have you even been learning?" Liu Zhi looked at Lu Yuan in astonishment. He felt things were getting more and more absurd.

"Well, I am a genius." Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. He needed to continuously build up this genius persona, or else he would face a lot of trouble in the future.

"Exactly. Little brother Lu Yuan is a genius. Unlike you, who knows nothing but practicing the sword," Liu Lianyue chimed in, taking the opportunity to mock her brother.

"I wanted to learn Alchemy before, but you were the one who forbade it and told me to focus entirely on my sword! And now you’re blaming me!" Liu Zhi immediately complained. His sister always used to say that martial prowess was the only thing that mattered, and everything else was just a trivial side path.

"That’s because you aren’t a genius. You don’t have the brains for it, so you have to pour all your energy into practicing the sword," Liu Lianyue explained. Only geniuses could afford to divide their attention. Ordinary people needed to dedicate their entire lives to studying one path just to have a chance at making a name for themselves.

"I..." Liu Zhi opened his mouth to retort, but ultimately shut it. He truly had no counterargument.

"Alright, we should head back." Liu Lianyue and Liu Zhi bid their farewells and left.

"Uncle Yuann, does the Celestial Weapon Sect have any Secret Techniques to improve one’s Root Bone?" Lu Yuan suddenly turned around and asked.

"I am not from the Celestial Weapon Sect," Uncle Yuann said, shaking his head. "However, there should be. After all, the sect has passed down its teachings for so many years; how could they not have one? But you’ll have to ask Yan Qing about that."

"Senior Brother Yan isn’t coming back tonight." Lu Yuan sighed. Yan Qing would often spend days away from home, completely engrossed in researching a single problem. Sure enough, even geniuses needed to work hard.

"I heard the Celestial Weapon Sect has a Secret Technique that can help improve a person’s Root Bone through hammering," Uncle Yuann suddenly said, stroking his chin.

"Hammering? Hammering others, or hammering oneself?" Lu Yuan was stunned. Hammering a person like an object being forged? It was theoretically feasible, but...

"How should I know? You’ll have to figure that out yourselves," Uncle Yuann rolled his eyes. He had only heard rumors of it and had never seen it in action.

"Oh, well, we’ll look into it when Senior Brother comes back." Lu Yuan grabbed his Pills and left.

As soon as he returned home, he immediately gave them to Wei Huiling to take.

"What kind of Pills are these?" Wei Huiling looked at the Pills on the table with some confusion. They didn’t look like Ninth-Grade Pills; they appeared more translucent and of a much higher tier.

"You’ll know once you eat them." Lu Yuan didn’t tell her the truth, afraid that Wei Huiling would be too reluctant to take them.

"You child..." Wei Huiling rolled her eyes. Could Pills just be eaten blindly? She didn’t even know their names or effects.

"Take the red one first. It’s for nourishing the body," Lu Yuan pointed. The Body Nourishing Pill was an Eighth-Grade Pill used to heal old ailments and hidden injuries.

"Nourishing the body..." Wei Huiling’s eyes flickered. She picked it up, sniffed it, and then swallowed it.

Soon, her body heated up, and her vitality surged wildly.

Half an hour later, the medicinal effects subsided. Wei Huiling felt completely refreshed and clear-headed. Her internal organs felt cleansed, and everything seemed different—as if she had grown ten years younger.

"Is this an Eighth-Grade Body Nourishing Pill?"

"Yeah." Lu Yuan nodded.

"You’re... really too generous." Wei Huiling only said this one sentence and didn’t elaborate further, but her heart was filled with warmth. She then looked at the green jade bottle on the table. "And what kind of Pill is in here?"

"This is an Immortal Pill. Taking it will turn you back into a young girl," Lu Yuan joked playfully.

"An Immortal Pill? Stop bragging," Wei Huiling rolled her eyes at him. Turn into a young girl? Where in the world would such a Pill exist?

"Just try it and see," Lu Yuan urged.

"Now?" Wei Huiling was puzzled. She had just taken one Pill, and he wanted her to take another immediately?

"Taking it now will give the best results," Lu Yuan advised. Having just consumed the Body Nourishing Pill, her physical condition was at its peak, making it the optimal time to absorb the Lifespan Extension Pill.

"Alright then." Wei Huiling trusted Lu Yuan. She picked up the Pill and swallowed it.

"I’m stepping out for a bit," Lu Yuan said as he walked out of the room.

"Okay." Wei Huiling nodded, carefully sensing the changes in her body.

"What Pill was that?" Lu Ming asked out in the courtyard.

"Like I said, the kind that will turn my mother back into a young girl," Lu Yuan shrugged.

"Be serious!" Lu Ming scolded.

"I’m not joking. You’ll understand once you go in and take a look in a little while," Lu Yuan said with a serious expression.

"Huh?" Lu Ming was bewildered. What kind of Pill could restore one’s youth? Why did he have absolutely no recollection of such a thing existing?

Thirty minutes later.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The reward of 2,000 EXP has been credited.]

"It’s here! I succeeded! I have 3,500 points!" Lu Yuan thought.

Without any hesitation, he allocated 2,987 of those points into the Thunder Blade Triple Extremities Slash. A surging wave of comprehension flooded his mind.

The Thunder Blade Triple Extremities Slash consisted of three moves: Thunderstorm, Thunder Flash, and Thunder Annihilation.

Thunderstorm unleashed the explosive power of mighty lightning. With a single strike, the surrounding dozens of feet would be reduced to scorched earth. Neither True Gang nor Primordial Gang could block it.

Thunder Flash was defined by a single word: fast. Utilizing the extreme speed of lightning, it allowed the user to instantly cross distances of dozens or even hundreds of feet to execute a fatal strike, boasting unparalleled penetrative power and speed.

Thunder Annihilation combined the sharpness of the Saber Technique with the destructive force of thunder. In an instant, it would obliterate and extinguish all vitality in its surroundings, making it incredibly terrifying.

All three moves would continuously grow stronger as his Cultivation realm increased. Once he reached the peak of the Sixth Grade...

SWISH.

Lu Yuan slashed out with the Wind Thunder Saber in his hand.

CRACKLE.

A burst of electric sparks exploded, twisting and winding like a silver dragon. It was much more structured and far more powerful than before.

Next...

SWISH. SWISH.

Lu Yuan’s Wind Thunder Saber continuously slashed through the air. Streaks of electric sparks and silver dragons appeared, crisscrossing and coiling around each other as their energy steadily condensed.

However, it could never quite reach the level required to execute Thunderstorm. Because Lu Yuan’s Cultivation was insufficient, the power of the lightning silver dragons he slashed out didn’t meet the standard. Only when he achieved great mastery in organ refinement and his Cultivation reached the peak of the Eighth Grade would it be possible.

With a single slash, dozens of feet of scorched earth...
