"Then, please bring the ’Twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles’," Su Que said.
"Alright, please wait a mont, sir!" Li Xuanji replied and imdiately instructed a trusted aide to fetch the needles.
Su Que was going to deal with the Noble Families, so Li Xuanji was naturally keen.
Li Xuanji sent soone to fetch it, rather than personally showing Su Que the location, because he didn’t want Su Que to know the storage place of the exotic soldiers.
Just as he didn’t want Su Que to know the real storage location of the secret manuals.
After all, he was too weak in front of Su Que right now.
If he took Su Que to these places, and Su Que would forcibly take the items inside, he would be powerless to stop him.
Su Que, from the previous conversation with Su Jing, knew that what she practiced was the "Jade Maiden Heart Scripture," so he already knew Li Xuanji should have a place to store powerful secret manuals.
Now, seeing Li Xuanji having another storage place for exotic soldiers, he felt slightly surprised.
"Li Xuanji’s ancestors were truly affluent," he couldn’t help thinking.
At the sa ti, his curiosity increased, wondering how to enter these two places to see what treasures Li Xuanji’s ancestors had left him.
After more than an hour, Li Xuanji’s trusted aide arrived back with a hand-long iron box clamped against his side.
Li Xuanji took the iron box from his aide’s hands and respectfully handed it to Su Que.
Su Que opened it to find twelve bronze-colored shuttles of varying lengths lying inside.
Waves, like ripples, radiated from these shuttles.
"It seems these twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles are indeed exotic soldiers," Su Que thought.
He examined further and saw that each shuttle had a dragon head at the end.
Each dragon head was intricately carved in different shapes, with sharp fangs showing in their open mouths, the dragon whiskers curling.
The tip of each shuttle was extrely sharp, faintly emitting a sharp gleam.
Li Xuanji, seeing Su Que looking at the twelve shuttles, said, "Actually, corresponding to these ’Twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles’ is a technique called ’Dragon Slaying Needle Technique.’
"It is said that using the ’Twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles’ with the ’Dragon Slaying Needle Technique’ can truly slay dragons!"
"However, my ancestors only preserved the ’Twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles,’ and the ’Dragon Slaying Needle Technique’ was lost."
Saying this, Li Xuanji’s eyes revealed a bit of sentint.
Compared to his ancestors, who were rulers of a nation, he now had to retreat into the Southern Domain, an imnse disparity.
But he soon regained composure, continued on the topic of gifting the items, and said to Su Que:
"Sir, I feel that in a while, I’ll be attacking the Central Plains, and at that ti, I would request your assistance!"
His eyes were eager, looking at Su Que.
Su Que nodded, agreeing.
If Li Xuanji attacked the Central Plains, many martial arts masters would surely co to resist.
Anyway, Su Que needed battles to cultivate the Demon Saber.
As those martial artists arrived, he could practice his blade technique with them!
Subsequently, Su Que bid farewell to Li Xuanji, taking the iron box containing the "Twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles," then headed towards Purple Sun Temple.
Elder Qingxuan, noticing Su Que holding the iron box, knew Su Que had borrowed the exotic soldiers to learn the "Gathering Yuan Needle Technique."
Thus, Elder Qingxuan fetched a set of golden needles and then invited Su Que into the Training Room at Purple Sun Temple.
Inside the Training Room, Elder Qingxuan opened the needle bag.
Twelve gold needles of varying lengths and thicknesses were clamped into the seams of the needle bag’s cloth.
Afterward, Elder Qingxuan demonstrated the needle technique to Su Que.
He pulled out each golden needle from the needle bag one by one.
Then, using the fingers and muscles of his hands along with externally released True Qi, he controlled these twelve golden needles.
His hands reached forward to tap and wave, making the twelve golden needles stab forward swiftly with his movents.
"Sir, this is the thod of performing the Twelve Needle Technique. Do you understand, sir?" Elder Qingxuan said while demonstrating the needle technique.
Su Que nodded.
This needle technique might have been quite difficult for Elder Qingxuan to practice.
But given his talent, it was very simple for him.
Just in this short ti, Su Que morized the technique and understood the key to performing the needle technique.
"Sir, humans have ridians, and exotic beasts also have ridians, although their ridian paths differ from humans."
Elder Qingxuan, seeing Su Que grasping the technique so quickly, first marveled and then continued:
"But martial artists can sense the gathering points of Qi Blood of exotic beasts through Inner Strength."
"The ’Gathering Yuan Needle Technique’ is about sensing the Qi Blood gathering points of exotic beasts, finding twelve of them, and using tools to pierce these twelve Qi Blood gathering points in a very short ti."
Afterward, Elder Qingxuan explained to Su Que how to locate those twelve Qi Blood gathering points.
Su Que listened and ntally noted them.
His martial arts cultivation far surpassed Elder Qingxuan.
His understanding of the body, True Qi, ridians, and Qi Blood was superior to Elder Qingxuan’s.
Therefore, as soon as Elder Qingxuan explained, he quickly comprehended and rembered.
In just half an hour, Su Que had morized the "Gathering Yuan Needle Technique" completely.
Afterward, he bid farewell to Elder Qingxuan.
Carrying the iron box containing the "Twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles," he left Purple Sun Temple and flew towards the outskirts of Jiannan Prefecture City.
He arrived at an uninhabited forest, opened the iron box, and revealed the twelve intricately crafted, bronze-colored, wave-emitting "Dragon-slaying Shuttles."
He recalled the movents of Elder Qingxuan taking and using the needles and quickly took out the twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles.
Elder Qingxuan used his fingers and palm muscles along with True Qi to perform the needle technique.
But now Su Que could condense Gang Qi and skillfully manipulate Gang Qi, even altering its external shape.
Once he took out all the needles, he commanded the Gang Qi, enveloping the twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles to execute the ’Gathering Yuan Needle Technique.’
He moved his hands through the air, Gang Qi flowing from his palms, like a river, driving the Dragon-slaying Shuttles to rotate in the air.
At this mont, the twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles floated like buoys in a river, carried by his Gang Qi, wandering within three steps in front of him.
Su Que swung his arms, maneuvering the Gang Qi to thrust and retract each Dragon-slaying Shuttle.
Su Que’s attribute panel also displayed the needle technique "Gathering Yuan Needle Technique."
However, as this needle technique was overly simple.
He needed only the ti it takes an incense stick to burn to cultivate it to the 5th realm, Refined Skill.
The 5th realm, Refined Skill, is the pinnacle of this needle technique.
Of course, if he wished, he could further develop this needle technique.
However, this needle technique is not as useful for defeating enemies as compared to martial arts like the Seven Injuries Fist.
If it’s rely used to extract Exotic Beast Essence, the accomplishnts at the 5th realm, Refined Skill are sufficient.
After mastering the needle technique, Su Que activated his Gang Qi and pushed both hands towards the iron box on the ground.
Gang Qi, like a river, enveloped the twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles and rged them into the iron box.
With a few swishing sounds, the twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles slid onto the iron box and returned to their place.
Su Que had already inford Su Jing this morning and didn’t need to return ho.
First, he reached inside his clothes, feeling the hard and slightly cool Token of the Hunting Dragon Alliance, confirming the Token was on him.
Then he closed the iron box and, carrying it, sped towards the cave where he stored items.
Upon reaching the cave, he promptly organized his rucksack, took so clothes for changing, and wrapped the iron box with a piece of cloth, tying it to himself.
After packing, he left the cave and sped toward the location of the Wu Family.
The Wu Family is deep in the Central Plains, quite far from Jiannan Prefecture.
However, Su Que’s Lightweight Skill was excellent, and this distance only took him half a day.
According to Li Xuanji, the Hunting Dragon Alliance was in a small town, seven hundred miles away from the Wu Family.
Su Que could use the Token to et the martial artists from the Hunting Dragon Alliance in the town.
Nearing dusk, he arrived in the small town where the Hunting Dragon Alliance was located.
The entire town was shrouded in the afterglow of the sunset.
The reddish afterglow cast elongated shadows on the town’s low houses.
Su Que walked into the town, stepping into the sunset afterglow, strolled for a while, and found the most luxuriously decorated inn in the town.
He rented an upper room at the inn and stored his luggage.
After having a hearty al in the town, he took the Twelve Dragon-slaying Shuttles and the Token and headed to the eting place of the Hunting Dragon Alliance.
