50: Chapter 50 True Essence Sword Finger 50: Chapter 50 True Essence Sword Finger Gold, a box full of glittering gold.
Inside Guo Shanfeng’s storage bracelet, the most eye-catching was a box of glittering gold.
Each ingot of gold was a full ten taels of golden yuanbao.
After a rough estimate, there were about fifty ingots per layer, probably six layers, amounting to roughly three thousand taels of gold.
Three thousand taels of gold, that was equivalent to a huge sum of thirty thousand taels of silver, almost catching up to all the wealth Ye Zhen had on him at the mont.
However, the most eye-catching box of gold was not the most valuable item in Guo Shanfeng’s storage bracelet; the most valuable were those bottles of pills.
Ye Zhen roughly counted and found that just the True Essence Pills, worth ten thousand taels of silver per bottle, numbered five.
Just these five bottles of pills were worth fifty thousand taels of silver.
There was only more than one bottle of the Blood Essence Pills worth two thousand taels of silver per bottle, presumably because Guo Shanfeng did not need them much, hence the small quantity.
What surprised Ye Zhen was that the storage bracelet contained the most stock of a type of pill called the Primal Essence Tempering Pill.
The Primal Essence Tempering Pill was an auxiliary type of pill.
Taking it would not directly increase one’s cultivation level, but it could help martial artists temper their True Essence, making it purer.
In Guo Shanfeng’s storage bracelet, there were as many as ten bottles of these Primal Essence Tempering Pills, even more than the cultivation-increasing True Essence Pills, which puzzled Ye Zhen.
However, when Ye Zhen’s gaze fell on the two secret manuals tucked away in the corner of the storage bracelet, he imdiately understood.
There were two cultivation technique manuals; one was called the True Essence Secret Skill True Essence Sword Finger!
The other was the Soft Water Palm, ntioned by Captain Guan Ping.
After a brief perusal, Ye Zhen understood that the Primal Essence Tempering Pills in Guo Shanfeng’s storage bracelet were all prepared for the True Essence Secret Skill True Essence Sword Finger.
After looking through the True Essence Secret Skill True Essence Sword Finger, Ye Zhen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
It was fortunate that Guo Shanfeng hadn’t mastered this True Essence Secret Skill True Essence Sword Finger; otherwise, Ye Zhen might have already beco a cold corpse.
The True Essence Secret Skill True Essence Sword Finger was a special Daoist technique that utilized True Essence.
It was said that the Qiyun Sect also had similar techniques, but such True Essence Secret Skills were extrely powerful and precious.
Ye Zhen, as an Outer Disciple, and even the Inner Sect Disciples, rarely had the chance to be taught such techniques.
Once the True Essence Sword Finger was mastered, it was very simple to use.
It involved channeling the True Essence in a specific manner to condense a True Essence Sword Finger at the fingertips.
Depending on one’s cultivation level, the condensed True Essence Sword Finger could vary in length at will, and its power could rival divine weapons.
Most importantly, once mastered, it could be combined with any martial skill for deploynt.
Take Ye Zhen’s Spirit Snake Vein Severing Hand as an example; originally, when he pointed a finger at an opponent, everything revolved around defending against that one point from Ye Zhen.
But if he mastered this Finger Sword Skill, when he was two feet away from an opponent’s throat, and in the mont an opponent launched a killing move, the True Essence Sword Finger would burst forth instantly, and the outco would be only one!
Pierced through the throat!
If mastered, this True Essence Sword Finger would be unpredictable and impossible to defend against.
However, to master this True Essence Sword Finger, apart from needing vast reserves of True Essence, the purity requirent for the True Essence was extrely high.
The True Essence needed to be as pure as quicksilver.
Guo Shanfeng had stored a large number of Primal Essence Tempering Pills in his storage bracelet to temper his True Essence with the intention of mastering this killing move, True Essence Sword Finger.
“Requires extrely pure True Essence, I wonder if mine is pure enough?”
After reviewing the secret manual for the True Essence Sword Finger, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but feel eager to try it out.
Imdiately, Ye Zhen began to follow the thod recorded in the secret manual for cultivating the True Essence Sword Finger, trying to cultivate it step by step.
The steps for the True Essence Sword Finger might look simple, but the thod to activate the True Essence was extrely subtle, involving several ridians even Ye Zhen didn’t know about in the sequence of True Essence circulation.
After more than an hour, Ye Zhen suddenly felt a tightness at the tip of his index finger, and with a hiss!
A strand of visibly pure azure True Essence Sword Qi emitted a faint sound of cutting through air, erging abruptly at the tip of Ye Zhen’s finger, its length uncertain as it pulsed with the strength of his True Essence circulation.
Whoosh!
With a slight movent, a refined steel spear standing inside the military tent was cut into two by Ye Zhen’s True Essence Sword Finger, with the cut surface as smooth as jade, as reflective as a mirror.
Hiss!
Ye Zhen took a sharp intake of breath in surprise.
It was no surprise to Ye Zhen that he was able to master the True Essence Sword Finger in a short period; his previously practiced Essence Blood Primordial Body Technique and the currently practiced One Qi Mixed Yuan Skill both placed significant emphasis on tempering Heavy Yuan.
Moreover, within his body was the Mirage Dragon Pearl, a miraculous treasure capable of continuously refining his True Essence, making it exceptionally pure.
Therefore, mastering the True Essence Sword Finger now was a logical and natural developnt.
What surprised Ye Zhen was the power of the True Essence Sword Finger.
This one sword, if drawn across a person, would leave no chance for survival, attacking with a sudden strike, who could withstand it?
Perhaps only existences at the Third Stage of the True Essence Realm, having condensed the Protective True Gang, could withstand it.
However, even for those at the Third Stage of the True Essence Realm, who had condensed the Protective True Gang, blocking this True Essence Sword Finger would only be possible if their True Essence was as pure as Ye Zhen’s.
“True Essence Secret Skills are indeed powerful!”
The power of this True Essence Secret Skill True Essence Sword Finger was trendous.
If used correctly, at critical monts, it would be the magic treasure that ensured victory.
The only downside was that it consud too much True Essence.
Ye Zhen rely maintained the True Essence Sword Finger for a hundred breaths and more than half of the True Essence within his Dantian was depleted.
However, in the face of its imnse power, the shortcomings of True Essence Sword Finger beco insignificant.
After putting the secret manual back into the storage bracelet, Ye Zhen was overjoyed.
Compared to that chest of gold yuanbao and the plethora of pills, the most valuable gain was this True Essence Sword Finger.
Such True Essence secret manuals are priceless and beyond asure, sothing that can be encountered but not sought after.
Having cald his emotions, Ye Zhen picked up the Soft Water Palm technique and began to read it again.
Soft Water Palm, a human-level lower martial skill, flows continuously like water.
Once executed, its force is relentless and formidable.
If cultivated to its profound depths, the moves are like vortices in water, nearly impossible to break free from, making it an exceptionally masterful martial technique for catch-off-guard attacks.
After skimming through it, even though he had not cultivated it, the intricacies of Soft Water Palm were already fully comprehended by Ye Zhen.
The power and finesse of many martial skills lie in their mystery to the opponent.
Without knowledge of the technique, like the unending montum of Soft Water Palm, it is extrely difficult to counter without the secret manual.
Now that Ye Zhen fully understood the intricacies of Soft Water Palm, even without having cultivated it, he found it easy to defeat.
Ye Zhen believed that if Guo Shanfeng were to stand before him again, with his pure True Essence, defeating him would be as easy as flipping his hand.
…..
The next day, Ye Zhen returned to Wusan County City along with the Prefectural Colonel Guan Ping.
“Senior Brother Ye, would you consider resting in the county city for a few days?” Just as Ye Zhen was taking his leave, Captain Guan Ping suddenly asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“Senior Brother Ye, it’s like this, killing Guo Shanfeng, in addition to the military achievent, there’s also a bounty from the county.
However, for the county’s bounty to be issued, it needs the County Governor’s approval and seal.
Unfortunately, the County Governor has gone to inspect other counties and you’ll have to wait a few days.”
“A bounty?
The brothers have suffered heavy casualties.
This bounty, I do not need.
Just distribute it among the brothers!” Ye Zhen, a youth of fervor, had grown friendly with the soldiers of the county prefecture in just half a day.
Colonel Guan Ping’s old face turned red, and he hurriedly shook his head, “For Senior Brother Ye to share the military achievents with the brothers is already extrely generous.
If we took the bounty, would we even be human?”
After a pause, Guan Ping continued, “Senior Brother Ye, how about staying for just two or three days?
The County Governor will be back by then.
Moreover, the brothers would like to have a proper drink with you….”
“Brother Guan, I really am eager to return….” Ye Zhen said with a face full of apology.
Guan Ping’s brow furrowed, “If that’s the case, we’ll keep the bounty for you.
With here, it absolutely will not get lost.
Let’s go, I’ll escort you out of the city.
Senior Brother Ye, if there’s anything you can’t handle in Wusan County, just use my na.
There’s no one here who dares not give so respect….”
Mid-speech, Guan Ping suddenly stopped, “Look at , with your cultivation, there’s nothing in Wusan County City you can’t handle.”
“Brother Guan, I really appreciate your kindness, but I do have a favor to ask of you!”
In the midst of speaking, Ye Zhen handed over several demon beast skins he was carrying on his back, along with various other parts from demon beasts, including the skin of the Illusion Serpent King, to Guan Ping.
“Brother Guan, I’m in a rush to return and cannot wait.
These demon beast skins, I’ll trouble you to handle them for .
And this skin from the Illusion Serpent King, please find a craftsman to make two sets of body armor for .”
“Brother, don’t worry.
With here, I will make sure to sell these for a good price.
Let’s go, I’ll accompany you out of the city!”
When they reached the city gate, Guan Ping suddenly pulled Ye Zhen aside and said, “Senior Brother Ye, I heard that on the day you attacked the bandit’s lair, Hee Bancheng offered half of his wealth as a bounty.
Now that his daughter has been rescued, he seems to have forgotten about it.
What do you say, shall I give Hee Bancheng a little reminder to cough up the bounty he promised?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen laughed heartily, “The day I attacked Guo Shanfeng’s lair, I did it for justice, because Guo Shanfeng and his n were too savage, not even sparing young children.
Even without Hee Bancheng’s bounty, I would have stord up there without hesitation.
To spill blood for three feet, is it for a bounty?
Brother Guan, I take my leave now!”
With a flick of the reins, Ye Zhen’s silver-horned horse charged out like the wind, leaving Prefectural Colonel Guan Ping standing there dumbfounded.
After a while, as Ye Zhen was reduced to a re dot in the distance, Guan Ping raised his thumb high!
