Chapter 134: Shura Killing Codex

134. Chapter 134 Shura Killing Codex

Two hours later, Li Xuan slowly exited the cultivation state.

"If I get a chance, I still need to remodel the technique; the restriction of only being able to cultivate for two hours a day is too severe, it hinders my strength improvement," Li Xuan sighed, saying helplessly.

If I want to continue exploring the changes in the meridians, it would require too much time; although Li Xuan is young, he cannot waste too much energy on techniques.

Primarily, life safety cannot even be guaranteed in the City of Slaughter now, let alone researching techniques!

Suddenly Li Xuan thought of something and snapped his eyes open.

"There are still a huge batch of Illumination Soul Guide Devices on the second level that haven't been taken, and these aren't cheap; the future Chunqiu Jiuzhuang should be able to use them," Li Xuan muttered, rubbing his chin.

Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect issued a wanted order against Li Xuan, in a decade or so the Spirit Hall will be able to wipe out the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, and even a few years later, Li Xuan's own power alone will be enough to shake the Sect's position; then it won't be Ning Fengzhi intimidating him, but rather him bullying the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.

So Chunqiu Jiuzhuang will have to continue in the future, after all it counts as Li Xuan's first enterprise on Douluo Continent.

Suddenly, Li Xuan realized that all the books here had already been taken away, and the Illumination Soul Guide Devices on both sides of the corridor should be retrieved as well; leaving his belongings outside all the time isn't proper.

Although Li Xuan was a bit fatigued, he still persevered to the second level of the Killing Treasure Vault, began taking down the Illumination Soul Guide Devices hanging on the wall one by one, placing them into a box to use later.

When Li Xuan was halfway through collecting, a Illumination Soul Guide Device suddenly could not be removed from the wall; Li Xuan tried several times but couldn't detach it, as if it were fixed to the wall.

"Hey? Anything good?" Li Xuan's eyes lit up, then he carefully inspected that Illumination Soul Guide Device.

This Illumination Crystal differed from the others; it was mounted on a bracket, and faintly seemed capable of twisting.

After thinking, Li Xuan decided to try; indeed, he gently twisted it, and the Illumination Crystal rotated one hundred eighty degrees.

"Creak..."

As the Illumination Crystal slowly twisted, Li Xuan suddenly heard a clanking mechanism turning nearby.

Without any hesitation, Li Xuan instantly entered the space of the Palm Sky Bottle; this life‑saving method had already become a physiological reflex for him.

After a while, Li Xuan finally emerged from the space.

Seeing that there were no signs of hidden weapons being activated around him, Li Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, then, guided by the sound he had just heard, walked toward the room that had produced it.

Li Xuan's hearing is excellent; he can determine which room the mechanism opened based on the sound he heard.

Soon, Li Xuan arrived at the doorway of that room.

Li Xuan vaguely recalled that the room's number was 924.

At this moment, an hidden compartment on the wall of the empty room had already been opened.

Seeing the hidden compartment ahead, Li Xuan carefully stepped inside, ready to enter a space at any moment.

After entering the room, Li Xuan came to the hidden compartment; it was small, only half a meter long and half a meter wide, and inside the niche lay a metal box.

By the light of the Starfire Fruit, Li Xuan saw the text on the box.

"Shura Killing Codex?"

"What is this!" Li Xuan muttered in surprise, then put on gloves and took the iron box out of the hidden compartment.

The air here was extremely dry, which is unfavorable for storing books but suitable for metal; the surface of this iron box had not a single rust spot, whether due to the environment or the material was unknown. Li Xuan carefully opened the iron box; inside was a blood‑red Blood Amber of excellent quality, impeccably clean with not a trace of impurity.

"What is this? Could it also be a Soul Guide Device?" Li Xuan was stunned, habitually performed a Medicine Appraisal Technique; many items, though not plants, can be used as medicine and will be identified by the technique. Li Xuan usually uses the Medicine Appraisal Technique as an appraisal method, though its reliability varies.

【Gem: Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Amber】

【Quality: Heavenly Material Earth Treasure】

【Description: The resin of Dragon Blood Pine condenses under special conditions into a Heavenly Material Earth Treasure; it tastes sweet, is warm in nature, non‑toxic, can stabilize the soul, and can store information】

"Huh?" Li Xuan was stunned; this Blood Amber really is a medicinal material.

Moreover, this thing appears capable of transmitting information; could it perhaps store ancient texts inside?

Thinking this, Li Xuan fed some soul power into the Blood Amber.

After absorbing Li Xuan's soul power, the Blood Amber emitted a faint blood‑red glow, and the next second, a memory passed through the Blood Amber into his mind.

Subconsciously, Li Xuan entered the space of the Palm Sky Bottle, sat beside the Hot Spring, closed his eyes, and began digesting the memory.

……

Half an hour later, Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

"Well, well, worthy of a Shura God, still leaving behind a legacy technique, but this technique is not that great," Li Xuan raised an eyebrow, muttering.

The memory within the Blood Amber was a complete cultivation technique left by the Shura God, named "Shura Killing Codex".

Although this was Li Xuan's first proper acquisition of a cultivation technique, as someone who can already create his own techniques, he was not overly excited.

This technique includes basic Soul Power Refinement, cultivation of Killing Qi, and three methods of tempering Killing Qi.

However, the cultivation methods involve some killing.

Combined with slaughter, it condenses Killing Intent to accelerate one's cultivation speed.

"Not afraid of killing too many, turning oneself into a pervert…" Li Xuan muttered irritably.

Although the cultivation speed recorded in this book is faster than that of ordinary people, it still falls short compared to Li Xuan's "Douluo Number One", and its direction is somewhat extreme; Li Xuan does not wish to switch techniques.

Although the quality of this technique is average, it does contain some cultivable meridian aspects that are worthwhile; the technique is not entirely without merit.

Li Xuan pondered briefly, then took out a notebook and began recording the "Shura Killing Codex" from his mind.

As Li Xuan wrote down the technique, he increasingly felt that such a method should not have been created by a Shura God; it was too weak.

Nevertheless, the methods of condensing and tempering Killing Qi Li Xuan noted silently; in the future he intends to gather some Killing Qi—though its effect is limited, it still has some use.

After recording all the contents of the "Shura Killing Codex", Li Xuan returned to the second floor of the Killing Treasure Vault, checked the hidden compartment, and confirmed it was empty.

After thinking it over, he directly returned to the space of the Palm Sky Bottle, took a bath, then rested, planning to come back tomorrow to retrieve the remaining Illumination Soul Guide Devices. (End of chapter)
