83: Passing by

Xiao Shi picked up the first item.

Name: Absolute Severing Blade Technique (Profound Rank)

Type: Blade Technique Manual

Grade: Qi Warrior Grade

Description: Created by a rogue blade master of the Qi Martial Realm, it possesses considerable power.

Note: The shortcomings of this blade technique are also very obvious; it will cause extreme depletion of Qi Strength.

...

Blade technique manual? Not a special item?

Xiao Shi pondered.

He continued to look at the second item.

Name: Soul Extraction Gloves (Seven Stars Holy Land Exclusive Item)

Type: Gloves

Grade: Qi Warrior Grade

Description: When worn, it can extract the corpse soul from a corpse.

Note 1: This item is an exclusive item within the Seven Stars Holy Land and can only be used within the Seven Stars Holy Land. Upon leaving the Seven Stars Holy Land, the item will automatically disappear.

Note 2: The time of death of the corpse must not exceed three minutes. A corpse soul within three minutes of death is a living corpse soul. A corpse soul after three minutes is a dead corpse soul. A dead corpse soul will dissipate immediately upon extraction.

Note 3: After extracting a living corpse soul, you can ask the corpse soul questions within three minutes of its extraction, and the living corpse soul will answer truthfully.

Note 4: Can only be used once.

...

Xiao Shi’s eyes flickered.

Through this kill, he could deduce that kills made within the Seven Stars Holy Land might drop ordinary items, and also had a chance to drop exclusive items.

This was undoubtedly the best situation for him.

If only exclusive items dropped, then he would have no way to acquire the various resources he wanted through kills here.

After all, the resources he needed...

might not be available in this Seven Stars Holy Land.

And exclusive items couldn't be taken out.

Now that both types of items dropped, it allowed him to obtain the cultivation resources he needed through kills here, and at the same time, through exclusive items, gain sufficient advantages within this Seven Stars Holy Land.

The ideal situation...

was to both acquire the cultivation resources he needed and obtain the fortuitous encounters within the Seven Stars Holy Land.

Xiao Shi was very satisfied with this.

He began to focus on the dropped blade technique.

Although the blade technique dropped this time was only a Profound Rank blade technique, it was very suitable for his current stage.

After all, this was a... Qi Warrior Grade blade technique!

Although he had mastered many Entering Martial Rank blade techniques, these Entering Martial Rank blade techniques could not combine with Qi Strength.

This meant that Xiao Shi, in combat, could often only monotonously release sword Qi attacks.

He had no other better combat methods.

For opponents with a significant gap in strength compared to him, such attacks were sufficient.

But once he encountered an enemy of similar strength, his current situation would put him at a great disadvantage.

This Qi Warrior Grade blade technique could perfectly resolve this weakness of his.

Xiao Shi immediately began to practice this blade technique eagerly.

He already had a good foundation in blade techniques, so mastering this blade technique in a short time was not difficult.

It only took him half an hour.

He successfully mastered this blade technique.

He then continued to move through the jungle, searching for prey.

His goal at this stage was very clear.

First, through kills, acquire various items, whether ordinary or exclusive, and try to collect as many as possible.

When the time was right... he would then explore the fortuitous encounters within this Seven Stars Holy Land.

Although there were many fortuitous encounters in the Seven Stars Holy Land, they also varied in size.

What he had encountered so far, whether it was the stream that accelerated lock-picking speed or the fruit that two people from the same faction had previously contended over, which also accelerated lock-picking speed, were merely minor fortuitous encounters.

Such minor fortuitous encounters were of no use to him...

At the same time.

As Xiao Shi continued to search for prey in this jungle.

Whoosh!

A black figure, like a streak of light, entered the jungle from outside.

This was a thin young man dressed in black, with black bandages wrapped around his body, from which wisps of black Qi continuously emanated.

His expression was indifferent, and the aura fluctuations of his Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection allowed him to fly recklessly through here, not worrying about encountering any danger.

This formed a stark contrast with the cautiousness of others here.

This person... was He Pengfei, one of the core direct disciples of Flying Origin Palace.

At this moment, he held a compass-like artifact in his hand.

However, its interior was not a pointer.

Instead, it was a black insect.

This black insect seemed capable of some kind of guidance, causing He Pengfei to continuously follow its guidance and rush forward.

Since he entered the Seven Stars Holy Land, he had not stopped.

He rushed from noon until night.

Even if he encountered some fortuitous encounters along the way, he directly ignored them.

His mind was solely focused on traveling.

It should be almost there...

He Pengfei’s eyes gleamed with strong anticipation.

His speed increased by a few points.

As he continued to advance, he got closer and closer to Xiao Shi’s location.

Not long after.

Xiao Shi, who was searching for prey in the jungle, felt a powerful aura coming from a distance!

This aura was extremely vast. In Xiao Shi’s impression, he had only felt such astonishing aura fluctuations from those in the Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

His expression immediately became solemn.

His figure moved.

He quickly hid in the shadows, looking with full vigilance at the terrifying figure approaching from afar.

Boom!

Amidst a series of air current explosions.

He Pengfei’s figure appeared in Xiao Shi’s line of sight, but due to his extreme speed, Xiao Shi couldn't clearly see the person’s form or appearance, only a blurry afterimage, quickly whistling past him.

Under that terrifying speed, not only did a series of air current explosions erupt behind him.

At the same time, many trees along the way collapsed and broke under the fluctuations of his aura.

This also made Xiao Shi deeply realize the terror of Qi Warrior Realm Great Perfection.

At this level... even a trace of escaping aura already possessed incredibly astonishing destructive power!

Although they were both in the Qi Martial Realm... the difference between Xiao Shi, who had just entered and only activated one Qi Vortex, and someone in the Great Perfection who had activated a hundred Qi Vortexes, was like the difference between an ant and a giant dragon.

Hmm?

The moment He Pengfei swept past Xiao Shi.

He noticed Xiao Shi.

Although Xiao Shi had hidden himself in the darkness at the first instant, with He Pengfei’s powerful perception, he still clearly detected his presence.

Originally, He Pengfei didn't pay much attention to the people he encountered along the way.

But now, he was very close to his destination.

He felt it was necessary to clear out these “bugs” in the vicinity.

Lest these “bugs” discover something...

After all, this concerned a major secret of their Flying Origin Palace.

It was also an important reliance for them to maintain the greatest gains in this Seven Stars Holy Land.

They had to ensure foolproof security.

No leakage could be allowed.

Thinking of this.

He Pengfei, who had already passed Xiao Shi, suddenly turned around.
