Chapter 130: Melting Gold and Breaking Jade Hands

Cheng Bai recalled the Broken Jade Sword Technique he had just obtained, and thought to himself: "Back then, I also practiced the Three Deadly Swords into a sword technique. This sword technique might be able to adapt to changing circumstances." He took out the jade slip and looked at it carefully in the moonlight.

Seeing this, Lu Miaoting, who was standing nearby, took out a moonstone and moved closer so that he could see it more clearly.

With Cheng Bai's excellent eyesight, it was actually unnecessary, but he still smiled and praised: "Thank you, you are so kind."

Lu Miaoting smiled shyly, secretly happy in her heart, and worked even harder.

Cheng Bai understood the small words on the jade slip. He didn't know what they meant until he read it. As soon as he read it, he was overjoyed and concentrated on studying it carefully.

The Broken Jade Sword Technique is also practiced based on the theory of the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements, and is somewhat similar to the secret of the Molten Gold Hand. It also has a low threshold and can be practiced as long as one reaches the Bao Yuan realm. It can be mastered quickly, but its power is not weak at all. It places particular emphasis on efficiently destroying the target with the least amount of force and being fatal in one blow, which complements the Molten Gold Hand in a way that makes the two have complementary strengths and weaknesses.

You should know that the Broken Jade Sword Technique was created and developed by successive masters of the Weapon Sect. The predecessors were ambitious and repeatedly pondered over it, trying to integrate all their experiences into one. Ultimately, due to the limitations of their cultivation, it failed to become a perfect martial art, but its theoretical mysteries have already developed to a very advanced level.

When it was passed to Fang Wanzhan, he was a genius of the time. He simplified the sword technique, discarded all the parts that he could not master, made actual combat the main purpose, and walked out of a completely new path. The Broken Jade Sword Technique thus became a unique skill that had been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations.

Li Tong's evaluation of it is: "Broken Jade Sword Technique, a supreme martial arts skill, not inferior to the Molten Gold Hand, Gawain Athens, a delicacy."

What surprised Cheng Bai about this sword technique was that, although it was based on the use of the sword, it discarded its sword-wielding skills and replaced some of the ideas of the Molten Gold Hand, which was simply seamless.

With his current outstanding vision and increasingly rich experience in creating original martial arts, he not only considered changing the Broken Jade Sword Technique into a boxing technique, but also considered completely integrating the Molten Gold Hand and the Broken Jade Sword Technique into one, taking their strengths and making up for their weaknesses, striving for excellence until it becomes perfect and becomes another more superb martial art.

Ideas for new martial arts came one after another, and Cheng Bai could not hide his excitement. He read widely, made choices, and pondered deeply, forgetting other tedious matters for a moment. He named this martial art "Melting Gold and Breaking Jade Hands", which is also a five-level killing skill that can control earth, fire, wood, water, and gold. It took him to a further level in realm and reached the peak of Wu Yuan level.

After the ideas become clear, things will gradually become satisfactory.

Cheng Bai practiced and comprehended the essence on the top of Guanqiong Peak, and tried to refine the first killer move, Burning Gold and Splitting Earth, so that he could perform it more easily. In the future, he would verify the results in practical use and it would surely become more perfect.

When it was bright, he was finally satisfied. He called it a day and took Lu Miaoting back to the starship to take a nap.

As the sun rose, He Lipang went up to Guanqiongding to practice boxing. He saw the closed door of the star ship from afar and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "Junior Brother Cheng is now enjoying the blessing of having many wives. Live comfortably and peacefully."

It was not until the afternoon that Cheng Baishen was fully refreshed. He changed into his usual gray moonlight deerskin clothes and walked out of the star ship, thinking, "I have obtained the source of divine fire and mastered the skill of melting gold and breaking jade. Everything is ready. When I return from the Seven-Colored Forest after finding an opportunity, I will gather spirits and refine treasures in the Four Symbols Cauldron. In the future, I will produce magic weapons and equipment that are much better than these leather clothes. Refining battle clothes and armor that surpass the Mysterious Nether Treasure Clothes will also improve my combat power."

With the smoker guarding the house, Cheng Bai felt relieved and teleported to the colorful forest alone.

The Flower Fairy Square was quiet and deserted. In the past, this was the most lively gathering place for the Flower Fairies. Not only did the tribe members trade goods with each other, but they also allowed outsiders to trade. Cheng Bai got the Spirit Nurturing Wood and Spirit Nurturing Fruit here, but now not even a little Flower Fairy can be seen.

Cheng Bai was suspicious and walked towards the place where the flower fairies' nests were densely packed in his memory.

"Hey! Who are you?" A little flower fairy with pink and orange wings flapping finally jumped out from the flowers, stood in front of Cheng Bai in a panic, and bravely made a mosquito-like sound.

Cheng Bai had already spotted her, so he walked over here and asked, "I am a merchant coming from afar to trade. Why is Huaxian Square not open for business? Where is Elder Yu now?" That was Elder Huaxian who led the way when she came here last time.

"Which Elder Yu? We have many Elder Yu." The little flower fairy asked back, blinking her beautiful eyes.

I don't know about that. Cheng Bai didn't expect that nearly half of the flower fairies had the last name Yu, so he had to change the topic and ask, "Is Queen Yu Feifei here?"

There are many elders, but there is only one queen.

The little flower fairy said, "Her Majesty the Queen is gathering people at the Purple Crystal Mountain Palace, and all flower fairies must go there, so the market will not be open today."

Cheng Baiqi asked: "Why didn't you go?"

The little flower fairy was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and said, "I overslept. I will be punished if I am late. I dare not go."

Well, I was lucky to meet a flower fairy who skipped work, which saved me a lot of time.

Cheng Bai coaxed her, "Take me there, and I'll give you a reward."

After saying that, he took out a Langman fruit from his treasure bag and stuffed it into the little flower fairy's arms.

The little flower fairy held the fruit with shining eyes, stopped crying, put her little nose close to the fruit and sniffed it again and again, then took a big bite and sucked it with relish.

Cheng Bai watched her eat all the fruit and urged, "Can you lead the way?"

I thought I had bribed the other party, but the little flower fairy held her bulging belly and said, "Give me some mountain copper, luxury silver, black iron, or star gold, and I'll take you there."

Cheng Bai took out his treasure bag and just happened to have exchanged his guild points for a small piece of star gold, about a quarter of an ounce. He took it out, pinched it between his two fingers, and shook it in front of her: "How about this?"

The little flower fairy was filled with joy, nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, stretched out her hand to take it, and said happily: "Yu Ran is waiting for the boss's instructions."

This little lazy guy only cares about money.

After chatting with Yu Ran all the way, we soon arrived at Amethyst Mountain.

The seven hills in the colorful forest are each occupied by a tribe. The Turquoise Hill is the lair of the Ironback Bear, and the Amethyst Hill is the capital of the Flower Fairy Tribe.

With the help of the unique cave formed by the Amethyst Mountain, the flower fairy built many palaces inside. In fact, they were small colorful houses scattered all over the cave, many of which were decorated with jewels. They were more exquisite and slightly larger than those in the forest outside.

The entrance to the cave is wide, large enough for iron-backed bears to enter and exit in pairs.

The Flower Fairy Elder guarding the gate saw someone approaching, so he flew and stopped in the air above the cave entrance, staring at the two people cautiously, and shouted, "Yu Ran, why are you here so late? Who is the person behind you?"

Yu Ran proudly presented the star gold in his hand and boasted, "I'm not late. I found a big piece of star gold. The one behind is a big customer, a big boss."

Elder Huaxian took it and looked at it carefully. Compared with her small body, this piece of material was already quite large. She couldn't help but praise Yu Ran and said, "You did a good job. It's so big and heavy, it should be credited as a great achievement. Hurry up and go in. The auction has already started."

Yu Ran took Cheng Bai and said, "Boss Cheng, come with me. They are discussing a big deal."

Most of the flower fairies are gathered here, surrounding the most spacious open space in the cave, craning their necks to focus on their survival.

There were several rows of tree stumps and stools neatly arranged in an orderly manner on the open space, with a few strange-looking figures sitting sparsely on them, some tall and strong, some pretty, some fierce, and some sinister.

Among them, a beautiful woman in white looked particularly familiar. She had a red-maned green dragon on her body and strange antlers.

Cheng Bai took a closer look and recognized it. It was the mirage banshee he had seen on the Giant Beast Island. It had shrunk in size and sat here.

Shenluo noticed the gazes of others, turned around and gave Cheng Bai a charming smile, the injury on his nose had already healed to normal.

There was an empty seat next to her, where sat a giant man with nine white heads, wearing dark blue feather armor and with a ferocious look on his face.

Further on was a large man in a white robe with a lion's head and a human body. He had white hair and a golden face. If it weren't for his physique being smaller than that of the man next to him, he would have looked truly majestic and powerful.

At the edge was a sinister looking armored swordsman, his armor glowing black and filthy, the black sword on his back was rusty, his slightly tilted dry face was clearly half a skeleton, and he was the farthest away from the others.

There was only a bald man sitting in the row behind it. He was wearing dark green soft armor, staring at Cheng Bai with amber eyes. He opened his terrifying mouth that was cracked to his ears and stuck out his forked tongue like a snake.

There was also only one long-necked man in the third row, dressed in rich, colorful clothes, with his head held high and motionless, as if he was high above everyone else and insolent.

Yu Ran whispered, "Customers who come to trade should sit here." He motioned Cheng Bai to take a seat and then flew away.
