92: Tianzun
Li Canglan stood up and bowed to Yang Diao and the others.
"Don't mention it."
Wang Guangke patted Li Canglan on the shoulder and chuckled, "I see you are a straightforward person. If we were in danger, I believe you wouldn't just stand by and watch us die."
Yang Diao and Wang Chuchu exchanged glances and nodded with a smile. They clearly agreed with Wang Guangke's statement.
Li Canglan did not stand on ceremony. After searching Feng Shanshan and taking all her belongings, he lit a fire and cremated Feng Shanshan on the spot. This was to avoid anyone coming later discovering that Feng Shanshan had died here.
Wang Chuchu was a woman after all, and seeing this scene, she felt a bit of hesitation in her heart. Wang Guangke and Yang Diao, however, had calm expressions. If it were them, they would have done the same thing as Li Canglan.
However, how to distribute the items found on Feng Shanshan became a problem. If the distribution was uneven, it would easily lead to conflict again. On her person were several expensive Heaven And Earth Treasure, a jade pendant, a ring, a set of armor, and a battle sword.
"You guys choose first, just give me the rest." Seeing that the three were hesitating, Li Canglan spoke first. After all, they had saved his life. Even though it was hard to say who would have won between him and Feng Shanshan, he still had to remember this favor.
The group did not waste time. Feng Shanshan's armor was clearly more suitable for a woman, so Wang Chuchu chose the entire set. The top and leggings were both there, and although they were a bit worn, they were still better than what Wang Chuchu had herself.
Because Wang Chuchu chose a larger quantity, her boyfriend, Yang Diao, only took a few Heaven And Earth Treasure. Wang Guangke took a few Heaven And Earth Treasure and the jade pendant. He had not forgotten the powerful effect of this jade pendant. However, how to specifically use it would probably require some research. This was not a game; some treasures had special activation techniques. You could not just use them immediately upon getting them. Therefore, Li Canglan and the others could rest assured and let Wang Guangke take the jade pendant.
What was left for Li Canglan were the ring and the battle sword. For Li Canglan, there was actually not much difference between using a blade or a sword. It was just that the design of this sword was clearly different from ordinary battle swords. If he wanted to use it, he would probably have to find someone to melt and reforge it. Moreover, that person would have to be trustworthy to avoid leaking the news.
What surprised Li Canglan was that this ring was a good thing. A Storage Ring! Although the area of this Storage Ring was not large, only twelve square meters, it was already enough for Li Canglan to use. He threw the battle sword and backpack directly into the Storage Ring. His whole body felt much lighter.
Following that, the group looked at the book in front of the huge corpse in the center of the palace.
"The purpose of Feng Shanshan's trip was this book." Wang Guangke said, and everyone instantly focused their attention.
"Everyone has a mobile phone anyway, if all else fails, we can just make a copy." Li Canglan said with a smile.
This was not an era where it was inconvenient to record things. If one person hogged the Martial Skill, they would have to worry about others coveting it. One copy for each person was the best solution. Wang Guangke and the others nodded and smiled.
"No, this Martial Skill cannot be taken out of here."
The sudden heavy voice made everyone present freeze.
"Who is speaking?" Wang Guangke looked around, looking dazed. But this was not something said by any of the four of them.
Li Canglan raised his eyebrows and quickly turned to look at the huge corpse on the throne. Sure enough, that corpse had opened its eyes at some point and was examining them. Li Canglan only felt his scalp go numb. Yang Diao and the others instantly assumed a combat stance, staring vigilantly at the huge corpse.
"Heh heh, you don't need to worry. What I have left until now is just a final remnant of my Divine Sense." The huge figure scanned the few people. "I wonder, what year is it now?"
Li Canglan and the others looked at each other. "New Martial Era 2077."
Hearing this, the huge figure could not help but fall silent. A moment later, it gave a bitter smile. "I see. In that battle, countless Heaven Venerables fell. The Human Race has probably retreated to a corner, so it is only natural that the calendar has changed."
Hearing the words "Heaven Venerable," Li Canglan felt doubts in his heart. Above a Martial Artist were the Marquis and Battle King Realms. This "Heaven Venerable" seemed more like a Realm that existed in novels.
"This book is actually a simplified version of a Body Refining Cultivation Technique created by the Giant Spirit Venerable." The huge figure could see the desire Li Canglan and the others had for the book in front of it. It had not spoken before because it was secretly observing Li Canglan and the others. If they were people with evil Heart-Nature, then even if it only had a trace of Divine Sense left, it would rather destroy this Cultivation Technique than leave it to them. However, they did not kill each other for profit. This point received its affirmation. At least it showed that Li Canglan and the others were not wicked villains.
Hearing the words "Body Refining," Wang Guangke became excited. He had always focused the most on Body Refining. Plus, the name "Giant Spirit Venerable" sounded like an extremely powerful existence. How weak could a Cultivation Technique created by such an existence be? He looked excited, but he had not forgotten his manners and asked respectfully, "Senior, can we learn this Cultivation Technique?"
The huge figure nodded. "Naturally, you can. However, it has been too long. According to my estimation, once this book is opened, it probably won't exist for long before it dissipates with the wind. Whether you can comprehend it depends on your own Comprehension Ability."
Hearing this, Wang Guangke chuckled. "Senior, you don't need to worry about that." He took out his mobile phone and shook it. "We have mobile phones now, we can record what we see. As long as we can take pictures of it, even if the book is destroyed, we can continue to learn."
"Oh?" It was the huge figure's turn to be surprised. "Nowadays, there is actually such a rare item?"
In their era, if they wanted to learn Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill, they had to rely on their own Comprehension Ability. Apart from the powerful ones, few people possessed means like image recording.
Wang Guangke felt a sense of superiority. They could do things that even such a strong person could not do! He could not wait to step forward and show the huge figure a trick.
He opened the book. Wang Guangke felt a thick, mysterious aura rushing toward him. He hurriedly used his mobile phone to take pictures of it page by page. However, although the images were recorded, the divine charm on them did not remain at all.
"In this case, it will be very difficult to learn." Just by a rough look, Wang Guangke could see that the actual grade of this Cultivation Technique was no less than A-grade! Although the highest Martial Skill was SSS, S-grade and above Martial Skills were extremely rare. The strongest Martial Skill he had mastered was only C-grade. Relying only on photos without divine charm, wanting to learn an A-grade Martial Skill would probably be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
