Chapter 159: Chu Liuxiang's Supernatural Power - Treasure Hunting
Li Ping was naturally grateful for Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng's help in investigating clues about the Beiming Divine Skill, so he arranged to have drinks together that night and even asked them to invite their friends!
Chu Liuxiang invited Li Xunhuan and A Fei, Lu Xiaofeng invited Hua Manlou and Ximen Chuixue, and Li Ping also invited Qiao Feng, Duan Yu and Yang Guo.
Aside from Guo Jing and Xiao Yu'er, Li Ping invited the protagonists from every known world. Li Ping didn't dislike these two at all, but well... haha.
It's mainly for the sake of a sense of ritual. How often can we get these people together for a meal?
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Ping said, "Fortunately, Brother Chu and Brother Lu have keen insight; otherwise, if these people who have practiced the Northern Darkness Divine Art were to spread throughout the martial world, it would be a huge problem."
"However, I invited everyone here today because I'd like to ask you all for a favor."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang's faces fell. This guy was treating them like laborers.
However, their curiosity was really strong, so Lu Xiaofeng asked, "What is it?"
Li Ping said, "I just wanted to live a quiet life, focus on practicing martial arts, and spend my days carefree with the person I love, but someone just had to come looking for trouble..."
Li Xunhuan laughed: "Brother Li, you are now the number one person in the world, who would dare to cause you trouble?"
Li Ping slammed his hand on the table: "What do you mean, 'no'? Didn't that Great Wheel King of the Tatar tribute mission issue a challenge to me? Was it directed at me alone?"
"What do you mean by inviting all the heroes of the world to a meeting? Isn't that just issuing a challenge to the entire martial arts world?"
"They assassinated the emperor and still dare to be so arrogant. It's obvious they're trying to provoke us. I really don't want to wait until they arrive in the capital to deal with them. It's very troublesome."
"Why not just kill them on the way?"
"However, I've heard that the Tatar delegation has some skilled fighters. I'm afraid I'm not up to the task on my own. Since we're all together today, why don't we just go and chop the Tatar delegation up?"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
Duan Yu and Yang Guo looked at each other in bewilderment. Why did you ask us to come along if you're going to do something so important?
Do we have that capability?
After a while, Li Xunhuan took a sip of wine, shook his head and said, "Brother Li, the Tatars are arrogant, and we are also very angry."
"But they were, after all, a tributary mission."
"If they really don't follow the rules, we could chop them up halfway through the journey, which might trigger a war between the two countries."
"When war breaks out, the people suffer terribly..."
Li Ping opened his mouth, wondering if he should tell them that the world had changed drastically and the Tatars had no place to live, so they would inevitably start a war!
But can we say that?
Firstly, he had no evidence of his own, and he genuinely didn't know what the situation was like in the north.
Secondly, what if it gets leaked?
The world is far from ready; once the news leaks, chaos will surely ensue!
Forget it, forget it!
This is one of the few peaceful times in the world right now; let's enjoy a few more days of peace as long as possible.
He had considered going alone.
If he could find a way, food, and water, Li Ping would indeed dare to assassinate Yanda Khan alone, but that's not the same as annihilating the entire Tatar tribute mission.
Assassination only requires stealth, finding the target, striking once and killing them, and traveling thousands of miles away.
However, the intelligence he obtained indicated that the tribute mission was full of experts, including some unknown masters besides Kumārajīva.
Kumārajīva also awakened supernatural powers, and even the Golden Wheel Monk, who possessed the Dragon Elephant supernatural powers, was no match for him.
Knowing nothing about his background, if he rushes in and faces numerous experts, how many can he kill at most?
It's pointless.
Forget it, I'll just have to endure it for a few more days.
Seeing Li Ping's dejected expression, and not knowing what was wrong with him, the others continued drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere became lively again.
They soon started talking about supernatural powers, and they were all hoping that Li Ping could explain how supernatural powers are awakened.
Li Ping said, "It's not that I don't want to teach everyone, it's just that my supernatural abilities awakened in a rather haphazard way..."
At this moment, Chu Liuxiang said, "Master Zhang preached at Wudang Mountain before, and he talked about how to awaken supernatural powers. His method is certainly correct. But..."
But everyone's eyes lit up. "You have another idea?"
Li Ping was also very curious, because from himself to Huang Rong, Su Ying, and then to Yao Yue, the awakening of their supernatural powers was completely unpredictable.
Chu Liuxiang took a sip of wine, thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "Supernatural powers should be related to our future..."
Everyone was stunned. What did they mean by "related to the future"?
But Li Ping felt that this statement was likely true, because the chances of the people around him awakening supernatural powers were too high.
His ability is to manipulate time, and doesn't time include the future?
Furthermore, killing someone with supernatural powers will also yield Time Crystal Sand.
Chu Liuxiang said, "I don't know how to describe that feeling, let me give you an example."
"The blessings bestowed upon us by the immortals are like a seed, which will sprout in the future and eventually grow into supernatural powers."
"I learned a lot about my future from Brother Lu before, but those things are destined not to happen..."
"I'm a very curious person, so I kept imagining what I was doing and thinking back then."
"I'm a very curious person, so I kept imagining what I was doing and thinking back then."
"Later, I met Yuan Suiyun and fought him. Although it might have been a fake, it was still a fight with him from afar!"
"Later, I encountered the Jellyfish Yin Princess and fought her again, but of course, I was no match for her..."
"But when I fought her, it was as if I saw the real scene that should have happened."
"That time no longer exists. It flows through my mind, becomes nourishment, is blessed and absorbed, and thus supernatural powers sprout from the ground."
His words were still abstract, but they sounded actionable.
It's about understanding your original future and then fighting your original enemy...
This method is much simpler than the meditation described by Zhang Sanfeng.
At present, there are still too few people who have awakened supernatural powers, so it would be better to have more methods to try.
Li Ping asked curiously, "So Brother Chu has awakened a supernatural power? What exactly is your supernatural power... Never mind, I shouldn't ask."
Chu Liuxiang said, "Actually, there's nothing I can't say, since my supernatural powers can't be used for fighting."
Li Ping said, "That's not necessarily true. If you develop it further, it might work..."
Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose and said with a wry smile, "But my special ability is 'treasure hunting'..."
Everyone was taken aback, but then they remembered Chu Liuxiang's reputation as the "Master Thief," so it was only natural that he could awaken such a supernatural power.
Li Ping said, "Why can't we use it to increase our strength? What if you find some rare and precious treasure, and eating it directly increases your cultivation by several hundred years..."
Chu Liuxiang said, "Where in the world is there such a good thing?"
Everyone couldn't contain their curiosity, and even Qiao Feng couldn't help but stir things up, since Qiao Feng used to love drinking and bragging with lower-ranking disciples!
They were extremely curious about what such supernatural powers could lead to.
Chu Liuxiang rubbed his nose again: "How should I put it? In the entire capital, the palace has the most treasures."
Everyone laughed, saying it was only natural.
Chu Liuxiang continued, "Outside the city, I also sensed treasures..."
Li Ping said, "As the leader of thieves, you weren't curious at all? Didn't you go and take a look?"
Chu Liuxiang said, "When I first came to this world, I stole from so many people, but I didn't steal much. My main purpose was to make a name for myself and have my friends come looking for me!"
"Before, when I stole treasure, it wasn't for the sake of stealing treasure. Now it's different; I don't know what I'm stealing treasure for."
"Besides, the treasure outside the city only appeared not long ago..."
Li Ping urged, "Let's go, let's go see what treasures are hidden there..."
