Chapter 461: Ability Retrospection

~7 min read 1,386 words

Because the Heaven's Eye Qi Technique can not only see through an enemy's weak points, for him, who excels at Arrow Technique, this is simply great news; even if he uses blades or fists and kicks in close combat, this martial art can still exert a huge effect.

Additionally, this martial art can also predict good or bad fortune, which is somewhat similar to the abilities of Ji Wanqing and her sister.

Of course, perhaps this martial art still has some conditions for use, but regardless, mastering it is definitely better than not mastering it; after all, having more skills is never a burden.

His gaze swept over the numerous top-tier mental cultivation methods one by one, and he discovered that some of them actually met the conditions for completion.

Without exception, the time required to complete these mental cultivation methods was very long, basically all over ten days.

He could completely finish cultivating dozens of Advanced mental cultivation methods to the Consummation realm first, and then come back to complete these top-tier mental cultivation methods; by then, the time required should be much less.

"Then let's start cultivating from the Advanced mental cultivation methods."

Lu Yu's gaze locked onto the Cold Ice Formula.

This is an Advanced mental cultivation method; last time he only raised it to the Entry level, thinking it would unlock the trait of an additional 20% True Qi boost, but it was only 10%.

Even so, cultivating it to the Consummation realm could still provide a 50% additional boost, which is quite considerable.

After consuming over ten thousand Experience Value, the Cold Ice Formula was finally successfully raised to the Consummation realm. The additional bonus to True Essence also increased from 740% to 780%.

Lu Yu carefully examined the various unlocked traits and shook his head slightly.

It did not unlock the trait of converting the opponent's True Essence into True Essence within his own body.

However, fortunately, there were still dozens of Advanced mental cultivation methods waiting for him to cultivate; he believed that one of them would definitely unlock a similar powerful trait.

……

At the same moment.

In Wuji City, inside a secret room arranged in an extremely Stealthy manner, the atmosphere was so oppressive it made people unable to breathe.

A middle-aged man was looking at two identical corpses on the ground with a face full of grief.

He slowly approached step by step, as if every step used up all the strength in his body.

Subsequently, he squatted down, gently picked up the corpse with the blackened face, and tears uncontrollably gushed from his eyes.

The people behind him saw this scene, and their eye sockets could not help but moisten as well.

"It's my fault, it's all my fault."

Luo Jin stared intently at Wei Xiong's face, which was twisted by pain, and those eyes that were wide open like a dead fish, his tone filled with self-reproach.

"At noon, Wei Xiong called me several times, but at that time, I was in seclusion cultivating an important Cultivation Method, my whole heart and soul immersed in the cultivation, and I didn't answer the phone the first time. I didn't expect that this one miss would actually be a separation of life and death, becoming a final farewell."

"Brother Luo, how can this matter be blamed on you?"

"You wouldn't have foreseen beforehand that Brother Wei Xiong would encounter such a thing later. Even if time could flow backward, if you, Brother Luo, could have known in advance, you would definitely have answered the phone the first time without hesitation."

"That's right, Brother Luo, the way you treat Brother Wei, in the entire Wuji City, who doesn't know, who isn't aware? Brother Wei's death is truly too sudden; no matter what, we couldn't have imagined that he would actually die in this heavily guarded secret room."

"That's right, this secret room, the surrounding guards are so tight; logically speaking, let alone a living person, even if a mosquito wanted to fly in, it would be almost impossible.

But, how could Wei Xiong be poisoned?

Who exactly could sneak in here without anyone knowing, and poison the tea, harming Brother Wei to death?"

The people in the room looked at each other, suddenly falling into silence, the atmosphere becoming increasingly heavy.

"No matter who it is."

Luo Jin suddenly raised his head slowly, his gaze looking forward firmly, flames of anger burning in his eyes, and he said through gritted teeth:

"No matter who exactly harmed Brother Wei to death, I, Luo Jin, swear to heaven here that I will definitely make him pay a painful price for his actions and make him regret coming into this world!"

As soon as Luo Jin's voice fell, the room instantly fell into a brief calm.

Soon, a wave of echoing agreement broke this tranquility.

"Brother Luo is absolutely right! That guy dared to make a move on Brother Wei; this is clearly not taking our Wuji City seriously at all! Moreover, if it weren't for Brother Wei's previous sacrifices disregarding his own safety, how could we have our peaceful days today!"

"That's right! We must find out who killed Brother Wei; we must skin and bone that murderer, and chop him into eight pieces, so that Brother Wei's spirit in heaven can rest in peace!"

"That's the logic, but the problem is, how exactly did that murderer manage to poison the tea without anyone knowing?"

For a time, the originally noisy scene instantly became silent.

Yes, this is precisely the doubt that has been lingering in everyone's hearts all along.

Besides doubt, a trace of fear faintly welled up in the depths of everyone's hearts.

After all, could the person who was able to poison Wei Xiong silently also make a move on any one of them?

Without finding this guy hiding in the dark, they truly could not feel at ease.

"Everyone, don't worry."

Luo Jin's pupils shrank slightly, and a trace of Ruthless flashed in his eyes, "I have already sent someone to notify Chen Baishan; it won't be long before we can figure out what is going on."

Hearing the name "Chen Baishan," most people looked blank, clearly not familiar with this name.

A small number of people, however, suddenly realized, with thoughtful expressions appearing on their faces.

Chen Baishan's strength cannot even compare to a C-Class Awakened; in Wuji City, he seems quite unremarkable.

But his ability is extremely special; he can trace things that happened at any location within a past period of time, and he can convert these past events into images and play them clearly.

As far as the current situation is concerned, with his strength, he can at most trace things that happened within the past 12 hours.

And Wei Xiong's time of death is far less than 12 hours, which also gave everyone a bit more expectation for finding out the truth.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps approached from far to near.

A man in his thirties with a short stature walked quickly through the crowd and entered the secret room in a hurried manner.

As soon as his gaze landed on the corpse that Luo Jin was holding, his originally calm complexion instantly turned as pale as paper.

"Ci, City Lord..."

His voice trembled slightly, carrying a bit of trepidation, and his gaze looked toward Luo Jin.

"You should be very clear about what I called you here to do."

Luo Jin's gaze was as sharp as a falcon, looking straight at him.

"Yes, please rest assured, City Lord, I will definitely do my best to figure out what is going on."

As the Mental Power in his mind spun rapidly, a strange scene occurred; a faint projection gradually emerged upon the walls of the secret chamber.

The gazes of Luo Jin and the others were immediately drawn over, and they all looked toward the wall one after another.

Inside the secret chamber, there was only one figure, and it was precisely Wei Xiong.

"Brother Wei's incident must have happened seven or eight hours ago; before that, he had indeed been in the secret chamber in secluded cultivation."

Someone in the crowd spoke in a low voice, and the group nodded subconsciously one after another, indicating their agreement.
