The Daoyin technique was very magical.
Perhaps it was because this was Su Xuan's newbie gift bag, but he cultivated according to the cultivation method that appeared in his mind after obtaining the Dao Yin Technique. Not long after, a stream of Qi appeared in Su Xuan's body.
Su Xuan wasn't sure if this Qi was the inner force or True Qi of the pugilistic world, but as it appeared, he could feel his body changing and becoming stronger.
Originally, his body was thin and weak. Although it was not to the extent that he was powerless, it was not much better.
After he sensed the changes brought about by this Qi, he naturally cultivated even harder. After all, the Seventy-two Techniques of Earth Fiend that appeared in his mind was the foundation of his existence in this unfamiliar world. Naturally, he had to firmly grasp it.
At the same time, Su Xuan was curious.
If one were to say that after the seventy-two small stars were lit up, one would obtain the Earth Fiend Seventy-two Techniques.
If the 36 stars were lit up, would they obtain the Heavenly Constellation 36 Techniques?
Mediating destiny, reversing Yin and Yang, shifting stars, turning the sky back to the sun…Just thinking about these methods that only existed in myths made his heart flutter.
There was no calendar in the mountains, and the cold did not know how long it had been!
As he cultivated in the mountains, Su Xuan's strength became increasingly profound. He then obtained a few more techniques of the Earth Fiend 72 Techniques. Some of them were used to attack and fight enemies, while others were used to assist.
What had truly caused Su Xuan's strength to soar once again was the Earth Fiend Art known as 'Consume.'
Wind, cloud, thunder, fire, vegetation, gold, stone, all things in the world, there is nothing that cannot be swallowed. Eating it will melt it, and melting it will strengthen the body. This is called eating!
This was also a support-type spell.
If the Daoyin technique was to draw the Qi of Heaven and Earth into the body to nourish one's own Qi, then the ingesting technique was to devour the essence of external objects to nourish oneself.
After obtaining this spell technique, the animals in the deep mountains where Su Xuan lived in seclusion began to suffer.
They had all become Su Xuan's nourishment.
Apart from that, Su Xuan would occasionally take beast skins to the market to exchange for some money to buy nourishing medicine.
With the help of the eating technique, his strength had once advanced by leaps and bounds.
However, there was a limit to this kind of improvement.
The main reason was that Su Xuan was too poor.
To cultivators, a cultivation partner, wealth, and land were all things that they could not lack.
As for Su Xuan, other than 'technique', he basically had none of the latter three.
At this time, there was a drought in Han.
The King of Han had offered a reward of 10,000 taels of gold to seek out a capable person to pray for rain, giving Su Xuan an opportunity.
……
The next day.
Ji Wuye's men had woken Su Xuan up long ago.
Su Xuan waited for a long time before he saw Ji Wuye again.
"Let's go!"
Ji Wuye's attitude was arrogant. If the King had not believed in the path of alchemists and believed that there must be capable people hiding among the people who could summon the wind and rain, he would not have bothered to pay attention to this guy behind him, let alone bring him to meet the King.
He followed Ji Wuye into the palace of Han Country.
When Ji Wuye brought Su Xuan to King Han, he was in the back garden, enjoying the beauty's clothing. However, there was a bitter look on his face.
The drought had no rain. If it continued, there would be no harvest during the autumn harvest.
His current pursuit of happiness was merely seeking joy in the midst of hardship.
"I, Ji Wuye, greet Your Majesty!”
Ji Wuye bowed respectfully to King Han.
"Great General, please excuse me!"
King Han waved his hand, indicating that Ji Wuye did not need to be so polite. Then, he looked at the man who had come with Ji Wuye.
"Why didn't you greet me?”
He was a little angry. If he didn't know that this person had accepted his bounty, he would have found an excuse to use this person to vent his anger.
"This drought has not rained for a long time. King has a request for me, so I naturally have to wait for the right price to sell it!”Su Xuan's tone was calm.
When King Han heard this, his face instantly darkened." Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?”
" If I can't pray for rain for Your Majesty," Su Xuan said," only death awaits me. To me, death isn't something to be afraid of.”
"You have some guts!"
King Han's expression could not help but ease up a little, and his gaze also carefully sized up the newcomer.
He was dressed in a clean green robe, and there was a wooden hairpin in his hair. Two strands of long hair hung down from his temples, making him look elegant.
In addition to his handsome appearance, at least, he looked pretty good. He just didn't know if he could pray for rain.
"The specific situation has already been explained in the bounty edict, so I won't say anything more.”
"Before praying for rain, tell me what else you need.”
"I need a high platform!" Su Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and directly stated his request.
King Han was not surprised.
Since it was to pray for rain, it naturally needed matching facilities.
Earlier, among the swindlers who were executed, there was no lack of people asking for rain on the platform, and some even asked for more.
In comparison, Su Xuan's request of a platform to pray for rain was too little.
"As for the high platform, I will immediately get someone to prepare it. If you can't get me rain tomorrow, that high platform will be your burial place!”
"Tomorrow? Not tomorrow!" Su Xuan spoke again.
Before King Han could say anything, Ji Wuye was already furious." The King wants you to pray for rain tomorrow. Do you still want to refuse?"”
"Or are you a liar too?”
Su Xuan replied calmly," There are good and bad luck in the heavens. If you want to pray for rain, you have to choose a good day. In my opinion, tomorrow is not a suitable day to pray for rain.”
"Then in your opinion, when is a good day? Next year, or the year after?" Ji Wuye's words were filled with sarcasm.
Su Xuan gave a time." Nine days later!”
"Alright, nine days later then!" Before Ji Wuye could say anything, King Han spoke up.
He had endured months of drought.
It was just a mere nine days. He could still afford to wait.
Ji Wuye still wanted to say something, but in the end, after thinking about it, he did not say anything.
At the end of the day, it was just to let this person live for nine more days.
Neither King Han nor Ji Wuye noticed the faint, strange smile on Su Xuan's lips.
……
Nine days later.
In the square of the Han Kingdom's palace.
All of the Han King's officials and ministers stood there, enduring the scorching sun as they looked at a high platform on the square.
On the high platform, Su Xuan was dressed in a green robe and holding a wooden sword as he chanted.
