Chapter 100: Chapter 100 Flying Leaf Sharp Knife_1

When Chu Liang returned to Silver Sword Peak, he found another paper crane resting on the table outside his house. Opening it, he saw that it was sent by Jiang Yuebai.

When he had returned to Shu Mountain previously, he had sent Jiang Yuebai a paper crane. However, he figured she hadn’t returned yet, hence no reply.

The message was simple, stating that she had arrived safely and all was well.

Thinking of learning divine skills, a faint smile crossed Chu Liang’s face.

Just as he was about to go inside, he noticed a figure leisurely flying towards him, landing on the small slope in front of his house.

It was Wen Yulong.

He arrived quickly.

It hadn’t even been two days since their last visit to the Chuan Jian Hall and he had already completed his task? Chu Liang couldn’t help but marvel at Wen Yulong’s efficiency.

It seems that he would lose sleep and forget meals in pursuit of his artifact refining craft.

"Senior Brother Chu..." Wen Yulong had a radiant smile on his face, his joy obvious, "Since your last request, I’ve been working day and night. I’ve finally finished repairing the magic artifact!"

As he spoke, he took out a small Solid Green Leaf, which was about the size of his palm. It looked almost identical to the previous design, except there was now a black pattern running through the middle of the leaf veins.

"Oh?" Chu Liang took the green leaf, its weight a few fractions heavier compared to before, and wondered what had changed.

"In addition to repairing the previous array rune, I’ve also added an attack array rune into it using the black meteorite iron I had. Now, this Solid Green Leaf has three forms." Wen Yulong explained.

Considering Chu Liang was already familiar with the defense and flight forms, he immediately activated the green leaf, poured in some true Qi, and tried out the attack form.

With the flow of his true Qi, the green leaf instantly expanded into a half-moon shape, and the black blade was neatly placed on the curved edge of the half-moon, exuding a hidden glimmer and a dangerous air.

Chu Liang examined it carefully, poured in some more Qi, and channeled the array rune towards an empty spot. Remembering his previous experience with Wen Yulong, he only injected a tiny amount of Qi, perhaps only one-eighth of his strength.

Whoosh--

A blur swept past his eyes, and the green leaf disappeared from his palm at a speed that could barely be captured by the naked eye.

"How’s that? Isn’t it both quick and ruthless?" Wen Yulong asked.

"Let’s not talk about that for a moment... could you tell me..." Chu Liang looked in confusion at the big tree he had targeted, which was still intact, "Where did it go?"

Wen Yulong pointed behind him, "Isn’t it on that tree over there?"

Chu Liang turned around and indeed, the green leaf blade was embedded in a distant tree behind him. Its piercing power was so great that it had penetrated several trees before finally stopping.

And this was achieved by only a tiny fraction of his true Qi.

"I cleverly fused the attack array rune with the flight array rune to ensure an extreme speed upon launch. I also built the blade in a curved shape to increase its impact through rotating forces! And since it was not previously named, I want to call it the Flying Leaf Sharp Knife!" Wen Yulong excitedly explained.

"But..." Chu Liang plucked it down and examined it, "This is way off from my intended target. What use is a powerful attack if it can’t hit its target?"

"Well..." Wen Yulong scratched his head, smiling, "the small downside is that because of this, it’s not very easy to target... But its rotating pattern actually follows a certain rule. With more practice, you should be able to improve its accuracy."

"..." Chu Liang laughed awkwardly.

Fine then.

Looks like every additional power this magic artifact acquired, he would need to learn an additional skill.

"Plus, there’s an ingenious aspect to this." Wen Yulong continued, "When masters battle, they predict movements and focus based on the flow of Qi. If you aim directly at an enemy, he may predict your movements and dodge."

"But with this Flying Leaf Sharp Knife, you can entirely mislead your enemy with unpredictable trajectories - attack from anywhere and hit anywhere!" he added, "Your enemy would absolutely be defenseless!"

"Indeed." Chu Liang nodded, acknowledging the truth in that statement.

At least he was unclear about the trajectory of this item at the moment.

If he himself couldn’t predict where it would land, there was no way an enemy could.

This kind of attack would need to be considered carefully in future. Without practicing and becoming truly proficient, he’d better not use it. Otherwise, this weapon could end up hitting an ally instead of an enemy.

That scenario could have the unintended effect of making their enemies die from laughter.

After inspecting the magic artifact, Chu Liang decided to keep it for now and practice with it when he had more time. He had been saved by this artifact in the past, and now that it had been successfully repaired and returned to him, he was already very satisfied.

Once Wen Yulong had passed the magic artifact to Chu Liang, he took out the tiny Elixir he had tested earlier.

"The result of your Elixir test is ready," he said, "Its name is Concealing Origin Pill. It’s very rare now due to its hard-to-find components."

"Concealing Origin Pill?" Chu Liang repeated.

"Yes, its function is to completely conceal one’s Qi aura. Even if you take action after consuming it, your Qi fluctuations will not be exposed. The effect lasts about a quarter of an hour," Wen Yulong explained, "I believe it’s also part of the Assassin Set."

Complete concealment?

That could be a powerful tool indeed.

The robe described earlier could only cloak one’s Qi under normal circumstances. But if one were to exert force, true Qi fluctuations would emerge, making them impossible to hide.

However, if one consumed this Concealing Origin Pill, one could completely conceal their Qi, and teamed with the Seven Kills Supernatural Power, it could facilitate an undetectable assassination, allowing the assassin to leave silently immediately after.

Not only that, for demonic creatures hiding within Human City Pool, they would not be easily detected. Only when they used demonic arts and exposed their Demonic Aura did the human cultivators notice their presence. If they possessed such a pill, even when these creatures used their demonic arts, they would not reveal their identity.

He carefully tucked this tiny elixir into his gourd, storing it away.

"If you were to sell this elixir, you could probably fetch up to several hundred Sword Coins for each one," Wen Yulong suggested.

Chu Liang shook his head: "I’ll think about it."

Upon hearing its effects, he knew instantly that the elixir was valuable. After all, a single pill used effectively could lead to a perfect assassination, or could save someone from a certain death situation.

Unless he was in desperate need of money, he preferred to keep these rare items for himself.

"As for the material of the Concealment Gauze, I’ve already asked Taotie City for a price. The potential buyer is offering a very high amount, which could be exchanged for about eight hundred Sword Coins. I think it’s too much and can be left aside for now, as the price should go down in the future," Wen Yulong added.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Wen," Chu Liang sincerely thanked him.

He was indeed not well-versed in the business of magic artifacts and their materials. Having someone who could help him out with this was indeed a boon.

"It’s no problem, as long as Senior Brother Chu can provide me with interesting magic artifacts or materials to refine in the future," Wen Yulong said.

He too had come to notice that Chu Liang was somewhat peculiar.

Despite being only a typical disciple at the Divine Consciousness Realm, he was always able to procure valuable items. As long as he maintained good relations with Chu Liang, his opportunities for refining magic artifacts should be endless.

Chu Liang gave him a wry smile and gently said, "We’ll need to work out the costs."
