Chapter 228: Chapter 228: An Ran, 8-striped Ganoderma

The Seven Kills Sword Technique, as the name suggests, is divided into seven forms!

Each form looks very simple, requiring just the cultivation of a single Sword Qi. However, this Sword Qi must embody the pinnacle of one’s lifelong cultivation.

This also means that to fully execute the Seven Kills Sword Technique, one must consecutively unleash seven perfect Sword Qis, each infused with a fierce aura of slaughter, carrying an unstoppable, wild killing intent to maximize the technique’s might.

If one has a pure heart that shuns killing, cultivating this sword technique will certainly not achieve great success!

The reason Su Luo chose to cultivate this Seven Kills Sword Technique was precisely because he held the Great Luo Immortal Gold Sword Embryo in his hand. With the blessing of such a supreme divine weapon, the power he could unleash would only be stronger.

Moreover, by this day, he was no longer the timid college student who dared not even kill a chicken. Against his enemies, he could be ruthless and unflinching, slaying adversaries without a change in expression.

"The first form!"

"The second form!"

"The third form!"

Within the Chaos Bead, Su Luo, with his Divine Sense, deduced the Seven Kills Sword Technique, grasping the first three forms in a short time.

This also meant that he could now simultaneously release three Sword Qis, which could either attack individually or combine for a compound assault.

"Although I haven’t truly deployed it, I can already feel that powerful force of slaughter!"

Su Luo was secretly overjoyed in his heart.

This also made him start looking forward to mastering the Seven Kills Sword Technique in its entirety. Then, he could form a "kill" character sword formation, also a kind of sword array. By that time, defeating enemies beyond his realm might become as easy as a routine affair.

But at this moment.

Su Luo felt an extremely powerful and pure energy enter his body, being absorbed by the Chaos Bead.

"What’s going on?"

Su Luo was immediately startled and stopped his cultivation.

Not only Su Luo, but the mysterious woman also appeared, her expression slightly surprised: "I didn’t expect to see the Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng in this place, somewhat unexpected."

"May I ask, senior, what is the Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng?" Su Luo looked toward the mysterious woman, curiously asking.

"The Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng is a ginseng purely transformed by nature’s spiritual energy. It undergoes nine transformations before it fully matures. After each transformation, another pattern is added to the ginseng. Naturally, this Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng has undergone eight transformations, which means it possesses at least eight hundred years of medicinal efficacy. It’s just a pity that if it went through the ninth transformation to become the Nine-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng, it would truly be considered mature."

"The difference between the Eight-Patterned and the Nine-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng may seem to be just one transformation, but the difference in medicinal efficacy is more than tenfold."

"If it were a true Nine-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng, even among cultivators, it would be extremely rare and highly coveted."

The mysterious woman patiently explained it to Su Luo.

However, this explanation made Su Luo’s face drastically change, and he was anguished.

"You don’t need to be so distressed; this Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng has already lost its vitality. Even if you had the Great Dao Treasure Vase, you wouldn’t be able to cultivate it into a Nine-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng," the mysterious woman said.

This made Su Luo feel a bit better.

"But why is there an Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng?" Su Luo quickly thought of the crux and hurried to check the situation outside.

However, the mysterious woman said, "Alright, your recovery is nearly complete, and you can wake up now. But considering my current weakness, I will absorb the medicinal effects of this Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng to restore myself. In return, when you need it, I will make a move on your behalf."

Having said that, the mysterious woman disappeared.

Su Luo was dumbfounded: "Was this a discussion with me? This was clearly just an announcement!"

Immediately after, Su Luo hurriedly called out, "Senior, at least tell me your realm, and against what kind of enemy can you prevail?"

"I am invincible in this world!" The voice of the mysterious woman came ethereally.

The next instant, Su Luo’s consciousness left the Chaos Bead and returned to his body.

At the first opportunity, he sensed the state of his own body, and just as the mysterious woman had said, he hadn’t tasted the effects of the Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng at all.

Instead, it felt like a martial arts master had transferred a lot of Inner Strength into him, but it was all absorbed by the Chaos Bead.

Fortunately, the Inner Strength absorbed by the Chaos Bead had transformed into energy, which was used to heal his wounds. In this respect, he hadn’t come out at a loss.

Suddenly, Su Luo opened his eyes, awakening.

"Brother Su Luo, you’ve finally woken up, I was almost scared to death!"

The first person Su Luo saw when he opened his eyes wasn’t Shen Qingzhi, Lin Ruoxi, Xia Yi, or anyone else from the Lin Family, but someone he had never expected.

An Ran!

"An Ran, how could it be you?" Su Luo was slightly surprised.

An Ran pouted, her eyes instantly misting up as if she was about to cry. She said with a sense of grievance, "Why can’t it be me? Do you only get happy if it’s someone else? You heartless man, after all, I was the one who stole... I took the divine medicine from home to save your life, and you look disappointed. I... I..."

So, the Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng that was eight hundred years old, was it brought by An Ran?

No, stolen?

Just to save himself?

Su Luo was deeply touched, and he quickly sat up, saying, "An Ran, don’t cry, I’m so happy to see you that I couldn’t possibly be disappointed."

"You’re not even smiling, yet you say you’re happy." An Ran, on the verge of tears, gave Su Luo a disdainful look.

Su Luo rubbed his cheeks and then revealed a smile, "I’m smiling now."

An Ran’s teary appearance vanished instantly, replaced by a sweet smile. She threw herself into Su Luo’s arms and held onto him, contentedly saying, "I knew it, Brother Su Luo would definitely be happy to see me."

Su Luo: "..."

He didn’t reach out to embrace An Ran. Instead, he looked around and noticed that there were other people in the room aside from An Ran.

Elder Lin Songbai was there, Zhou Ye was there, Xia Yi and Nian Nian were also present, and even Ruoxi’s father, Lin Yuexian, and a few core members of the Lin Family were there.

However, he didn’t see Aunt Shen, whom he wanted to see in his heart, nor did he see Lin Ruoxi.

Where had they gone?

Su Luo was about to speak, but the words stopped at his lips.

Now, with An Ran still holding onto him in his arms, asking about other women might hurt her feelings, mightn’t it?

After all, this girl had stolen Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng from home to save him, and Su Luo was mindful of this kindness.

Even if the Eight-Patterned Spiritual Ginseng had not been used by Su Luo himself, as it was intercepted by the mysterious woman, it still led to a rare opportunity for the mysterious woman to act, which also provided Su Luo with a certain degree of leverage against powerful adversaries.

This was even more important than Su Luo improving his own realm.

"An Ran, so many people are watching," Su Luo transmitted his voice to An Ran to remind her.

An Ran seemed to suddenly snap out of it. She immediately let go of Su Luo and moved away from his embrace. Her delicate face was flushed red like the glow of the dawn sky, utterly embarrassed.

"This is so embarrassing!" An Ran bit her lip, stamped her foot, and dared not look at the others.

This left Su Luo stunned. An Ran, this girl, sometimes spoke bolder than he did, and yet now she was shy to this extent, which was rare.

But it’s understandable, after all, private interactions and those in front of others are ultimately different.

However, it must be said, interacting with An Ran was quite interesting.

Su Luo gathered his thoughts and then asked again, "Where is Aunt Shen? And what about Ruoxi?"
