Celestial Realm Alchemy Sovereign

Chapter 52 – You better not regret it



As he spoke, True Qi surged from Terra Su's Dantian. He didn't use the True Essence of the Condensing Origin Realm but suppressed his cultivation level to the tenth level of the Inducing Qi Realm, utilizing the True Qi of that realm.

He slightly raised his arm, brought his two fingers together, and casually pointed out, like an immortal descending from the heavens.

"Ming Wang Finger!"

A sharp wave of True Qi shot out from his finger, like a meteor arrow, striking the chest of one of the Five Treasures Hall guards!

The guard didn't even have time to resist before the power of the finger strike sent him staggering back, as if a heavy stone had hit his chest. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he crashed solidly against the wall.

Almost simultaneously, Terra Su pointed out a second finger. The second guard let out a miserable groan and was also sent crashing into another wall, creating a human-shaped dent.

This scene left Envoy Feng and Manager Min utterly shocked!

The martial technique Terra Su had just used seemed to be the one he had written, but when performed by him, it was smooth and flawless, without any awkwardness or illogical movements.

Moreover, its power was visibly impressive. Those two guards were both high-level guards at the tenth level of the Inducing Qi Realm, yet Terra Su had easily taken them down with a single finger each.

Terra Su retracted his hand and stood still, coldly glancing over. "So, do you still think this martial technique is fake?"

Manager Min's expression changed as he quickly picked up the crumpled paper from the ground, carefully smoothing it out. "Young Master Su, please allow me to try cultivating it!"

From Terra Su's demonstration, the martial technique was indeed not fake. However, to be sure, he needed to try cultivating it himself. If he could successfully cultivate it, it would prove that it was genuine.

Manager Min began to try cultivating, but he found his movements clumsy. The seemingly simple moves were difficult to connect, and he couldn't perform them as effortlessly as Terra Su.

"Young Master Su, this...?" Manager Min couldn't help but ask.

Terra Su's expression was indifferent. "This is a Normal Grade mid-tier martial skill, and it's one of the top ones at that. Naturally, it's not something you can learn easily."

Even Terra Su himself, without the powerful insight from his two lifetimes, wouldn't have been able to perform this martial skill successfully on his first try.

Terra Su stepped forward and pointed out a few key areas in the handwritten martial technique, giving Manager Min some brief guidance.

Manager Min, not being a fool, quickly grasped the concepts after Terra Su's pointers.

Manager Min then realized that the peculiarities Envoy Feng had noted were actually special key points. Once these were fully understood, the full power of the martial skill could be unleashed.

In less than the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, Manager Min had roughly grasped the first half of the "Ming Wang Finger" that Terra Su had written.

"Young Master Su, this is indeed a top-tier Normal Grade mid-tier martial skill. It's a pity it's only half, but even so, it's worth at least twenty thousand taels of silver." Manager Min's eyes gleamed. If he could buy this martial skill for the Five Treasures Hall in Clear River City, it would be a great achievement for him.

However, if Terra Su changed his mind and didn't want to sell, Manager Min couldn't force him. Moreover, the martial skill he had learned couldn't be leaked. This was professional ethics. If the Five Treasures Hall casually leaked martial skills brought in by customers, its reputation would be ruined, and no one would come to sell things in the future.

But it seemed that Terra Su intended to sell this half of the martial skill to the Five Treasures Hall and use the money to bid for the Snake Blood Ginseng.

"Young Master Su, let's settle it this way. Our Five Treasures Hall will..." Manager Min was about to say that the Five Treasures Hall would purchase this half of the martial skill when a stern shout interrupted him, "Hold on!"

Manager Min looked up in surprise to see Envoy Feng's icy expression, his purple robe fluttering without wind. "This half of the martial skill is fake!"

Manager Min was stunned. "Envoy Feng, it has already been proven that this half of the martial skill is genuine..."

Envoy Feng impatiently interrupted him, "I said it's fake, so it's fake. Understand?"

Manager Min wasn't a fool and immediately realized what was happening.

Envoy Feng insisted that the martial skill was fake so that Terra Su couldn't sell it at the Five Treasures Hall, thus preventing him from getting the silver he needed. Naturally, the Snake Blood Ginseng would then fall into Envoy Feng's hands.

But this was blatant dishonesty. Manager Min had worked at the Five Treasures Hall in Clear River City for most of his life and had never done something so against his conscience.

"Manager Min," Envoy Feng stared at him, enunciating each word, "I think you understand what is in your best interest."

Manager Min couldn't help but shiver. He knew that offending this inspector from the capital would bring him no benefits.

Under Envoy Feng's pressure, Manager Min had no choice but to lower his head slowly. "Young Master Su, I apologize."

Terra Su had been watching this scene indifferently from the side.

Upon hearing Manager Min's words, Terra Su didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled slightly and said unhurriedly, "Alright, I hope you won't regret this."

"Especially you," Terra Su added, glancing at Envoy Feng.

"Regret?" Envoy Feng almost laughed. "What do I have to regret?"

A Normal Grade mid-tier martial skill, and only half of it at that, might be a treasure in Clear River City, but in the capital, it was just an insignificant skill. He didn't care for it at all.

But just as he thought this, Terra Su's next words struck him like a bolt of lightning.

Terra Su slowly said, "Of course, you'll regret it. Your meridians are twisted, and your chest is blocked. If you don't get treatment soon, you'll die within six months. Yet, because of your selfishness, you've lost the chance to get the cure."

As soon as these words were spoken, Envoy Feng's body shook violently, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief as he looked at Terra Su. His voice trembled uncontrollably, "How... how... how did you..."

He stuttered for a long time but couldn't complete a sentence.

"Why panic? Isn't it just that you've cultivated the wrong technique, causing your chest meridians to block and leading to Qi deviation? It's obvious at a glance." Terra Su shook his head. "Sigh, but your panic is understandable. If this condition isn't treated within six months, you'll surely die. No wonder you're so desperate to get the Snake Blood Ginseng."

"But unfortunately, the Snake Blood Ginseng can only delay the symptoms slightly. The inevitable will still come." Terra Su looked at Envoy Feng with a sympathetic expression, as if he truly felt sorry for him.

Envoy Feng looked at Terra Su in disbelief. How could it be possible?

This young man had just revealed the hidden illness that had troubled him for so long with a single sentence!
