Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 337 - 203: Fifth Heaven Achieved! Great Celestial Fire Mountain!

Chapter 337: Chapter 203: Fifth Heaven Achieved! Great Celestial Fire Mountain!

Immediately, he infused True Qi into each longsword.

The next moment, the originally unconscious Cold Pool Snow Flood Dragon suddenly opened its blood-red mouth, crying out in pain.

A wisp of white smoke rose from the Cold Pool Snow Flood Dragon’s mouth, growing taller and larger.

Gradually, it condensed into a white crystal-like object in the air.

As this white crystal grew, the Snow Flood Dragon’s cries diminished.

After a cup of tea’s time, Su Que saw the Snow Flood Dragon’s Essence Crystal ceased to grow and wrapped it with the Lin family’s Soft Inner Armor.

Even through multiple layers of inner armor, he could still feel the chill of the Essence.

After wrapping the Essence, Su Que performed the Inner Power Heart Method of the Nine Yin Corpse Claw to absorb the Death Qi of the Snow Flood Dragon.

However, with its Essence completely expelled, the Snow Flood Dragon had little vitality left, allowing Su Que to absorb only a little Death Qi.

Su Que intended to dive deeper into the Cold Pool to cultivate the Fifth Heaven of the Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens.

He was uncertain if the Essence Crystal would dissipate faster upon re-entering the Cold Pool.

So, he placed the Soft Inner Armor wrapped Essence back into the Cold Pool.

The pool water soaked through the inner armor, making contact with the Essence.

Su Que discovered that within the pool, the Essence dissipated more slowly.

With relief, he dove into the water, swimming toward the pool’s bottom.

Sitting cross-legged at the bottom, he placed the inner armor-wrapped Essence and Ice Soul Glowing Grass beside him.

The cold power from the "Cold Profound Iron" and the pool spreading into the valley pierced his skin like knives.

He immediately applied the Inner Power Heart Method of the Ice and Fire Seven Realms.

Instantly, the pain from the cold power vanished. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

It was replaced by a warm and comfortable sensation.

Due to the reversal of the cultivation technique’s side effects, the damaging cold power nourished his body instead.

He glanced at his Attributes and noticed the cultivation progress of the Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens steadily increasing.

The Ice and Fire Force within him gradually surfaced in his flesh and blood.

After about two hours, Su Que felt a power surging in his blood and flesh, seemingly about to erupt.

His heart stirred, and he summoned his Attributes.

Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens (4th Realm Elite 99%)

As expected, this martial art was about to break through.

He immediately continued cultivating, intending to achieve the breakthrough.

Moments later, Su Que felt that latent power in his blood and flesh explode and merge with the already present Ice and Fire Force.

He looked again at his Attributes.

Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens (5th Realm Refining Skill 1%)

’Finally mastered the Fifth Heaven,’ Su Que thought.

He checked his Attributes for his lifespan and Talent Value.

Lifespan: 736

Talent Value: 146

By practicing the Fifth Heaven, the reversal of cold power damage strengthened his physique, extending his lifespan by thirteen years.

His Talent Value also increased accordingly.

Then, Su Que pondered on how to train the Sixth Heaven of the Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens.

The cultivation method for the Sixth Heaven was similar to the Fifth, requiring an extremely hot environment.

’An extremely cold environment has the Cold Pool, but for an extremely hot environment... a volcano?’

This was what Su Que thought of.

However, he spent most of his time training in Jiannan Prefecture of the Southern Domain, unfamiliar with the Liang Kingdom’s territory.

’I should ask the Heaven-Breaking Army people, and give the Snow Flood Dragon Essence and Ice Soul Glowing Grass to Elder Qingxuan to refine a new elixir for me.’

’Although the Seven-Turned Qilin Pill was effective for me, its potency will eventually fade, just as well to replace it with a new elixir.’

Su Que thought, planning to return to Jiannan Prefecture City.

He first went to a nearby hidden cave to retrieve his map and elixirs.

Then he used Lightweight Skill, swiftly heading back to Jiannan Prefecture.

...

Su Que returned to Jiannan Prefecture just as dawn was breaking.

He first went to the Purple Sun Temple.

Thinking Elder Qingxuan would still be asleep, he was surprised to find Qingxuan already practicing inner strength in a quiet room of the temple.

After Qingxuan completed his True Qi circulation and exhaled a white breath, Su Que interrupted him, handing over the Snow Flood Dragon Essence and Ice Soul Glowing Grass.

Upon hearing Su Que’s explanation of their origins, Qingxuan’s eyes lit up, and his face seemed to grow younger.

"The Cold Pool Snow Flood Dragon and the accompanying Ice Soul Glowing Grass, I’ve only read about in ancient books, thought extinct, yet they still exist!"

Qingxuan’s voice carried excitement, his greying beard quivering.

"I wonder if the elder can refine these into an elixir?" Su Que asked.

Qingxuan stroked his chin: "I haven’t seen an elixir recipe using these as ingredients, nor do I know if the master’s family’s recipes use them."

"I’ll ask the master."

At this point, Qingxuan paused, stroking his chin thoughtfully:

"However, if there isn’t one, I can refer to existing recipes to refine a new elixir from these ingredients."

When Li Xuanji’s master, Fan Gushan, taught Qingxuan alchemy, he saw Qingxuan’s exceptional talent in the field.

Having practiced alchemy for decades, and recently refining with other alchemists, Qingxuan realized his unique gift for alchemy.

Thus, he confidently spoke in front of a mysterious expert like Su Que.

"I shall trouble the Taoist elder then." Su Que replied.

Then he added: "There’s one more thing to ask the elder."

"What is it?" Qingxuan waited for Su Que’s question.

"Do you know of any active volcanoes within the Liang Kingdom?" Su Que asked.

Qingxuan thought for a moment, then laughed wryly:

"Sir, I’ve spent years here refining pills and am almost unfamiliar with the Liang Kingdom’s territory."

"You should ask some knowledgeable members of the Heaven-Breaking Army."

Su Que immediately bade farewell to Qingxuan and headed to the Heaven-Breaking Army’s residence.

Upon arriving there, he met Qiu Yu, who was in charge.

Qiu Yu was called "Aunt Qiu" by 32-year-old Li Xuanji.

Su Que didn’t know her age, only that her appearance was youthful, seeming about thirty.

After a few words with Qiu Yu, Su Que learned that Li Xuanji wasn’t present.

Su Que then asked Qiu Yu about active volcanoes within the Liang Kingdom.

Qiu Yu also didn’t know, but she called over a man appearing to be in his forties.

Qiu Yu explained that this man was a scout for the Heaven-Breaking Army, having traveled extensively in his youth and possessing considerable knowledge of the Liang Kingdom.

Upon asking the same question, the man replied: "The area with the most volcanoes in Liang Kingdom is the north of the Central Plains."

He asked a servant to bring a map of the Liang Kingdom.

The servant brought the map, and the man took it, spreading it out and circling an area for Su Que.

"This is where the most volcanoes are."

Su Que saw that this area with the most volcanoes was indeed north of the Central Plains, not far from the Liang Kingdom’s capital.

The man then pointed to a specific spot within the circle:

"Here lies the largest volcano, which frequently erupts, known as Great Celestial Fire Mountain."

Su Que immediately memorized this location.

Having learned where the volcano was, Su Que bid farewell to Qiu Yu and the man, leaving the residence.

As he hurried towards his storage cave, he pondered.

The Great Celestial Fire Mountain is not far from the Liang Kingdom’s capital, Shangjing.

The capital is a gathering place for the Liang Country Martial Arts elite.

The closer to Liang’s capital, the more Martial Arts experts are encountered.

After consecutively mastering five heavens of the Evil Fist Ice and Fire Seven Heavens, his lifespan and Talent Value have significantly increased.

He could use this to further upgrade his martial arts and Martial Arts Realm.

If he encountered even mightier martial artists in the capital’s region, he could handle them.
