Enlightenment: Beginning as a Disposable Warrior-Chapter 138 - 116: Mind Like a Demon, Jade Bone Pill!

Red Fire Technique?

"Red Fire Technique..." The name doesn't seem like a lightweight skill, nor is it a stealth technique. Su Mu was slightly dazed, then his eyes flickered. "Could this Red Fire Technique be the cross-training martial art that Zhou Tiande displayed that day?"

At the moment, Su Mu quickly flipped through the secret manual in his hand, page after page, his eyes becoming increasingly bright and fiery. After reading through it once, his heart was burning with excitement.

"It's indeed Zhou Tiande's Red Fire Technique!"

Su Mu couldn't help but show a look of joy. A long time ago, Su Mu was very curious about this cross-training martial art. Unfortunately, Zhou Tiande hadn't carried the manual with him, but now, a year later, he unexpectedly obtained it.

"But how did this Red Fire Technique end up with Bai Yi?"

Su Mu was puzzled again, speculating that perhaps the Black Mountain Rebel Army wanted to use the martial arts manual to win over Bai Yi. In any case, the manual was now in Su Mu's hands.

He didn't want to think too much about how Bai Yi got ahold of it; from now on, this manual belonged to Su Mu.

After obtaining the Red Fire Technique, Su Mu suddenly had greater motivation to cultivate the two cross-training martial arts of the Qingfeng Gang. Long ago, he had an idea of wanting to integrate the Vajra Body and the Red Fire Technique. Cultivating more different cross-training martial arts would better facilitate the integration of martial arts.

"Although I didn't get a lightweight skill or stealth technique... the value of this Red Fire Technique is not inferior to those skills."

At the moment, Su Mu took out that roll of parchment. As he unfolded it, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Jade Bone Pill, an improvement based on Bone-Forger Ointment, with effects increased threefold. It requires triple bone forging before one can withstand its potency, capable of transforming into jade marrow..."

Jade Bone Pill, effects increased threefold, capable of transforming into jade marrow!

"I see, after triple bone forging, stronger medicinal pills are needed for support... and the pills before me are the Jade Bone Pills used above triple bone forging!"

In the Bone Forging Realm, it means forging bones into marrow. Only after triple bone forging can one barely touch upon refining bone marrow. Only beyond triple bone forging can it be considered true bone forging into marrow.

"The value of this formula is absolutely not inferior to the Muscle Strengthening Formula... With this Jade Bone Pill formula, the journey to Canghe County was not in vain!"

At this moment, Su Mu was overjoyed, never expecting that Bai Yi would possess such a priceless formula. Even if he gained nothing from the Cang River bounty next, Su Mu felt the trip was not in vain.

Carefully tucking the formula into his clothing, Su Mu identified the stars and moon, and continued northward.

"Ghost Eye Daoist Zheng Xuan, Seventh Grade Muscle Strengthening Realm, lures and kills children under the guise of fortune-telling and exorcism... hiding in Eagle's Roar Ridge."

The unique terrain of Eagle's Roar Ridge echoes with the wind, and as mountain winds pass the ridge, the torrents sound like an eagle's cry, thus the name.

Under the night sky, Zheng Xuan, with his bloodshot solitary eye and covered in blood, fled in a panic along the jagged mountain path, his tattered Taoist robe torn to shreds by thorns, revealing the birthdates of children tattooed with cinnabar on his back.

Suddenly, a cicada's chirp resounded behind him, each sound more agitated than the last, starting like fine rain and quickly transforming into a thunderstorm. Upon hearing the cicada's call, Zheng Xuan was terrified, his body trembling violently.

Turning back, his pale face was illuminated by a flash of purple lightning.

In his terrified pupils was the reflection of a figure wearing a conical hat and rain cape. In a scream, the flesh from the Taoist's chest burst forth, and in a sizzling sound, turned charred black.

"You... who are you?"

The Rice Hat Wanderer remained silent, his golden-hued hands landing on the Taoist's neck.

"Snap!"

The Taoist's terrified voice cut off abruptly, and his severed head was tied to the waist of the Rice Hat Wanderer. After looting, the remaining body fell into the deep valley, the sudden gust of mountain wind letting out a low eagle's call.

To the north of the ridge, there was an inn, into which the Rice Hat Wanderer walked. "Three pounds of braised meat, a plate of spiced beans, and five bowls of spring noodles with plenty of scallions." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The inn was filled with Jianghu folk, who glanced at the Rice Hat Wanderer, before continuing to drink, eat, and chat.

"Have you all heard?" A scar-faced man in dart master's attire downed his bowl of wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, and slammed it down, "That Flower-Picking Thief Bai Yi got his head chopped off by someone."

"Nonsense, with Bai Yi's lightweight skill, who could easily kill him?"

Someone voiced doubts, "Bai Yi's lightweight skill is extraordinary. Our county magistrate in Canghe County had once sent three Seventh Grade Muscle Strengthening experts to capture Bai Yi, and they couldn't even scratch him. One of our experts was even injured by his poisonous hidden weapon."

Before the words were finished, someone among the drinkers interrupted.

"It's true, two days ago news came from the south of Guzhou Town. It's said that Bai Yi hit a tough spot this time, or perhaps underestimated his opponent, and was beheaded by the Silver Order Blade Catcher hired by the Li Family."

"It's completely true, and I've also heard that the Landlord Li in that town plans to erect a shrine for the Blade Catcher."

Cough, cough.

The Rice Hat Wanderer drinking medicinal wine suddenly coughed a few times, as if choking on the drink, and several people at the neighboring table looked over with a sneer. At this moment, someone urgently asked.

"To kill Bai Yi, who on earth is that divine being?"

"I've heard it's not someone from our Canghe County, but from Qingyun County, seemingly called... Li Feiyu!"
