4: Chapter 4: Skill Card "Ink Moon Celestial Witchcraft"

With Mo Juren's death, Wang Chan, who had been summoned by Zhao Changsheng, also vanished without leaving a single word behind.

After all, he had only come to complete the mission.

Looking at his Revered Master's corpse, Zhao Changsheng couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation, a feeling of the fox mourning the hare.

But this feeling didn't last long before it vanished.

Because what he needed to do now was bury Mo Juren's body.

To do this, he just needed to have Han Li and Zhang Tie leave for half a day.

For him, the Senior Brother, this was just a matter of a single word.

Turning to leave Mo Juren's room, he immediately ordered Han Li and Zhang Tie to leave Divine Hand Valley.

Neither of them dared to disobey Zhao Changsheng's command and left immediately.

Once the two had left, Zhao Changsheng personally set to work, burying Mo Juren's corpse. He didn't erect a tombstone, simply burying him and then erasing all traces. When Han Li and Zhang Tie returned, Zhao Changsheng said to them:

"Revered Master has gone down the mountain again. He needs to find more medicinal herbs to heal his injuries. This trip might take a bit longer, so you don't need to worry too much. From now on, I will be in charge of your Cultivation. However, I won't be in charge for long. Once you have learned enough, you will leave the mountain for experience."

Han Li felt a hint of suspicion regarding Zhao Changsheng's words, but he didn't let it show in the slightest. Zhang Tie, on the other hand, believed him implicitly, nodding heavily and saying, "Alright! I understand."

Hearing Zhang Tie's response, Han Li also nodded along, saying nothing.

"Alright, go about your business. I still need to tidy up Revered Master's room."

Zhao Changsheng didn't care much about their differing attitudes and simply ordered them to leave quickly.

They didn't dare disobey Zhao Changsheng's orders. Even though Han Li had his doubts and felt that Mo Juren hadn't actually gone down the mountain, he didn't show it at all, simply following instructions and going about his business.

Thus, Zhao Changsheng settled the two of them and took charge of tidying up everything in the room.

In the process, he found the relics Mo Juren had left behind, as well as his last will.

It seemed Mo Juren had long anticipated his death, as he had left a last will in a hidden compartment beforehand.

If he hadn't already become a Cultivator, Zhao Changsheng would have found it truly difficult to discover.

Seeing the last will within the hidden compartment, Zhao Changsheng was quite surprised.

The will requested that he look after the mother and daughters of the Mo Residence in Jiayuan City, Lanzhou. In return, he could freely use anything in the Mo Residence, and could even marry Mo Juren's three daughters.

This was exactly the same as his previous promise, which made Zhao Changsheng chuckle.

After putting away the last will and relics, Zhao Changsheng began to consider whether to draw a card.

This time, however, he didn't plan on drawing another character card. Instead, he prepared to draw a skill card or an item card.

A character card could only be used once, whereas skill cards and item cards could be used continuously—the former could be Cultivated, and the latter could be used repeatedly.

He wasn't sure what he might get from an item card, so he decided to draw a skill card to see what Divine Ability, Cultivation Technique, or secret technique he might obtain.

"Draw a skill card!"

After silently reciting these words in his mind, a red card appeared in Zhao Changsheng's hand.

As soon as the card appeared, a torrent of information surged into Zhao Changsheng's mind.

[skill card: "Ink Moon Heavenly Shaman Art", Origin: "Refinement of a Hundred Stages to Immortality" Spirit Realm Ink Moon Tribe Legacy Cultivation Technique. Rank: Red.]

Following that was the detailed information of the Cultivation Technique.

However, there were changes compared to the information in Zhao Changsheng's memory: the Cultivation Technique's Realm Rank was the same as in "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," rather than being divided according to the Ranks of the "Refinement of a Hundred Stages to Immortality" world.

But the Divine Ability Spells and various secret techniques within it hadn't changed at all.

For example, the Magic Treasure Nine Palaces Xuyu Swords and the Divine Ability Phantom Spirit Skyfire remained completely unchanged.

"To think it would be this set of Cultivation Techniques. It's truly unexpected, but for me right now, it's more than enough."

After spending half a day absorbing all the information, Zhao Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face. Not only had he resolved a major problem and completed his mission, but he had also obtained a quite formidable Cultivation Technique. It could be said he had reaped a full harvest.

He now only needed to begin converting his Cultivation Technique and didn't need to worry about anything else.

As for Han Li and Zhang Tie, he didn't care to bother with them. After all, he had essentially saved their lives, especially Zhang Tie's.

He could see Han Li's suspicion, but he didn't care. Since he would be leaving soon, it didn't really matter.

For him now, once he finished converting the Cultivation Technique and his cultivation progressed a bit further, he could depart.

This wasn't difficult for the current Zhao Changsheng; it just required a bit more time.

With that thought, Zhao Changsheng began to Cultivate and convert his Cultivation Technique.

Converting the technique wasn't something that could be done in a moment. Fortunately, Han Li and Zhang Tie outside tacitly avoided disturbing him, each going about their own business and practicing their own techniques, providing him with a quiet environment for Cultivation.

It took him about half a month to complete the conversion.

The reason it took so long was mainly because the Rank of this Cultivation Technique was quite high while his Realm was low. Furthermore, there wasn't enough Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi nearby to support him, so he could only absorb it bit by bit from the surroundings while also consuming the Medicinal Pills left by Mo Juren.

He no longer had to worry about there being anything else in these Medicinal Pills and could consume them with confidence.

Had it not been for this, the time needed to convert his Cultivation Technique would have been even longer.

After completing the conversion, his Realm improved again, reaching the seventh layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, one step closer to the tenth layer he hoped for.

Since the plot had only just begun, he had plenty of time to continue Cultivating.

Simultaneously, he received his next mission: it was very simple—obtain an immortal ascension token.

As long as he obtained the immortal ascension token, the mission would be considered complete.

For the current Zhao Changsheng, this was an entirely easy task, no longer anything difficult.
