Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Fish and Dragon Dance_1

Standing at the back, Chu Liang listened, couldn’t help but laugh and shook his head.

If one had to assign merit in such a way, it would probably be the Master first, followed by Lin Bei second, and himself third.

Of course, he only grumbled secretly to himself. Since the Master enjoyed it, he decided to go along with his antics.

He had other things to do.

Managing the aftermath was not something disciples of the Shu Mountain sect could handle. Lin Bei enthusiastically volunteered to liaise with the city’s main officials and other relevant authorities, so they could appease and return these women and investigate the particulars.

In the past few days, he had become quite familiar with the figures in the town. When he asked Empress Feng for permission, he confidently exclaimed, "We’re all bros!"

He truly had mastered the "Social Relationship".

The Marquis Ding Shan Residence had been conducting this kind of business for a while and remained unscathed, probably due to some protection from the officials. However, such a big issue would quickly become known to everyone, and the Imperial Court was bound to intervene. The main instigator had been executed, and the Young Marquis had been captured — the rest had no room for any deviousness.

Chu Liang’s injuries had stabilized, and he could now move freely. When Empress Feng and Lin Bei had handled the matter and were ready to continue watching Xue Lingxue’s performance, he decided to step away for a while.

He returned to the riverbank, where he had come face-to-face with the Young Marquis during the day.

Here, with the power of the Beheading Red Famous Sword, he killed Master Lu. That was a cultivator of the Sixth Realm, even though he was an unconventional cultivator. He must have accumulated some treasures after all these years, right?

In his rush to kill the Young Marquis, he had forgotten to loot the corpse.

Now that things are settled, Chu Liang wanted to hurry over and make sure that the gear he had worked so hard to gain from killing his enemy was not taken by someone else.

It’s a good thing that the Young Marquis had chosen a location where few people passed through, an uninhabited river beach. When Chu Liang arrived again, the place remained unchanged.

He went into the big pit blasted by the Wind Fire Double Rune Sword to check whether Master Lu had left anything.

First of all, he ruled out the corpse.

A cultivator of the Sixth Realm should already have a Dharma body superior to an ordinary one. But Lu’s Dharma body seemed to focus more on concealment, its strength was not great, or else he would not have been instantly killed.

Under the super-powered Wind Fire Double Rune Sword, his body was completely annihilated. There might be some residue, if looked closely.

Similarly, his possessions were mostly destroyed. Anything that remained was undoubtedly valuable.

What Chu Liang saw first was a Jade Slip, half covered by a burnt black cloak.

He picked it up to take a look. It appeared to be a jade slip storing information, and aside from being of high quality, there seemed to be nothing special about it.

He probed slightly with his Divine Sense to check what was stored inside.

Within the jade slip, white lights were radiating, both words and pictures, recording a considerable amount of information. It was a complete inheritance!

"Seven Kills Dao method..." Chu Liang opened his eyes and muttered.

He only glanced briefly at it. This was a complete cultivation method of the Heavenly Star Oddity Technique, and possibly the only one in the world. Its value was beyond doubt, but it was of little use to him.

Because he wasn’t lacking in inheritance, being a mainstream cultivator, he could naturally learn the cultivation techniques of the next realm at each realm, which was a kind of happiness.

There were many unconventional cultivators in the world who, upon reaching the peak of each realm, had to start searching for the cultivation techniques of the next realm. Some couldn’t even cultivate the same sect’s techniques continuously and had to muddle through what they could find.

If such cultivators received such a complete and powerful inheritance, they would undoubtedly be overjoyed.

In addition to the cultivation techniques, there were also Divine Skills, but Chu Liang couldn’t use them. That’s because Shu Mountain’s cultivation still belonged to the orthodox Daoist method, which differed greatly from the Heavenly Star Oddity Technique and wasn’t interchangeable.

The cultivation of the Heavenly Star Oddity Technique was generally faster than that of the three religions before the Seventh Realm, but it was also more one-dimensional.

Given equal talents, practitioners of the Heavenly Star Oddity Technique would advance faster. But at the same realm, practitioners of the three religions would generally be stronger than those practicing the Heavenly Star Oddity Technique.

After breaking through the Earth Barrier, this situation would change. In Heaven Boundary Three Realms, cultivators mainly compared the strength of their "Dao" rather than the height of their "Techniques".

After safely storing the inheritance, Chu Liang continued to rummage through the burnt soil and found a piece of a knife blade.

This seemed to be the knife that Master Lu had stabbed him with. The hilt had been destroyed, but the black blade remained intact. Looking at it, Chu Liang still felt a chill run down his spine. If Xue Lingxue hadn’t been there, he might have bled to death from this knife wound.

He carefully wrapped it in a piece of cloth and stowed it away.

Looking around, he found a small purple gold gourd. Although charred black, it was undamaged.

"Huh?" Chu Liang’s eyes lit up.

Given the toughness of this gourd, what’s inside must be valuable. It might turn out to be the biggest gain of the day.

He opened the gourd’s lid and found only five or six tiny black pills inside. He couldn’t smell anything so he decided to store them for now and have them appraised at the Pill Furnace Pavilion later.

After searching for a while longer, he found nothing else.

It seems that although Master Lu was a high-level cultivator, he didn’t have many treasures. In fact, this is typical of non-mainstream cultivators.

Not everyone could have the backing of an Immortal Sect and obtain any resources they wanted at any time.

Nor could everyone possess a Mysterious Treasure Pagoda and reward themselves indiscriminately.

Chu Liang stood up, scanned carefully with his divine sense to make sure there was nothing left, and then picked up the half of the robe he had earlier overlooked.

Almost missed this one.

How could a piece of fabric that survived a Wind Fire Double Rune Sword be ordinary?

He would keep it. Even if he used it back as a cleaning cloth, it would be more durable.

Finally, he inventoried his gains: the inheritance jade slip, a piece of blade, a gourd of elixir, half a black robe...

Moreover, the death of Master Lu didn’t leave him any imprint. This solved his previous confusion. Seems like the White Pagoda only rewards for killing evil spirits. There’s no reward for killing humans, demons and monsters...

After a lot of work and time spent, Chu Liang reluctantly got up and flew back towards the performance area.

From afar, he heard a deafening noise!

...

"Xue Lingxue!" "Xue Lingxue!" "Xue Lingxue..."

A full concert would last for several hours, with Xue Lingxue naturally not performing the entire time alone. Usually, the performer would open the concert solo, then be supported by other musicians. Then she would ensemble with other musical instruments, accompanied by dancers and singers, creating a wonderful and varied performance.

The performance had reached its later stages, and the atmosphere was heatedly thrilling. Everything that happened prior had long been forgotten by the audience.

Xue Lingxue stood on stage, her hands moving quickly on the high standing koto. The sound intertwined with the electric dragon’s movements, the body of the koto sparkling with a golden light. She had obviously combined divine skills with the koto, making the sound more touching.

With the vibration of the koto strings, gentle radiance spilled in the air, the starlight all over the sky trembling, countless birds flying from the mountains to receive the starlight.

The supporting musicians behind her were also immersed in radiant five-colored aurora, conjuring a golden dragon on the left and a rainbow on the right.

All the audience rose, waving their arms to the beat, shouting her name aloud. The electrifying atmosphere resonated far and wide.

Creating extraordinary phenomena in the sky, the hearts of people harmonizing with the Dao.

This is the charm of Nanyin Square!

On the hillside, Empress Feng and Lin Bei were also swaying to the music, with the master occasionally blowing a whistle, fully demonstrating the style of a rogue master.

Chu Liang landed, looking at the boiling sea of people, feeling quite shocked.

"You’re back!" Lin Bei shouted when he saw him coming over: "Quickly come! It’s the most exciting part!"

"What song is this?" asked Chu Liang.

"Fish and Dragon Dance!" answered Lin Bei. "It’s a composition created by Miss Xue herself. Quite explosive!"

"Fish and Dragon Dance..." Chu Liang repeated with a smile, then his face suddenly changed, "Wait... I seem to have forgotten something."
