28: Chapter 28 Martial God Technique

"But what use is that?"

"This is a world of Immortal cultivation, and you're giving This Great King a set of tacky, outdated Internal Skill and Mind-Cultivation Technique?"

Chun Xiaobai curled his lip in disdain and prepared to continue walking forward.

But after taking a few steps, he retreated back.

No, he had closed his eyes and opened them, then inexplicably arrived in this mysterious place. He couldn't just leave empty-handed, could he?

He looked down on those external, flashy fake techniques.

But these characters were clearly extremely ancient. If he memorized them, took them out, and found someone to translate them, what if they really turned out to be some damn peerless Immortal Cultivation Technique?

Even if he couldn't use it now, selling it outside would be a huge windfall!

Besides, his Cultivation consumed so much now; it was precisely the time when he was short on money.

Thinking this, Chun Xiaobai turned around and walked back again.

He stared intently at those strange symbols, preparing to firmly memorize their shapes and strokes, stroke by stroke, in his mind. After getting out, he would find pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to transcribe them, then find someone to translate them.

However, just as he memorized the first and largest symbol in the top row, his mind suddenly cleared. The symbol he had just memorized actually translated itself in his brain.

This symbol represented precisely — "Martial"!

Immediately after, he quickly memorized the second symbol. Similarly, the moment he memorized it, he inexplicably translated this symbol — "God"!

The third — "Art"!

"Martial God Art?"

"Holy crap! It really is a set of techniques!"

"Just can't tell if it's an Immortal Cultivation Technique or a Mind-Cultivation Technique for those fake flashy styles."

But judging by this mysterious, grand display, he felt this *Martial God Art* was probably not simple.

After all, the mysterious symbols he usually encountered wouldn't translate themselves in his mind after memorizing them.

He quickly seized the time, memorizing each of these symbols one by one in his mind.

This place was too bizarre. Who knew if it might suddenly kick him out, or trap him here forever?

Whether the former or the latter, he had to hurry.

It took roughly an hour.

Chun Xiaobai finally memorized all the symbols on this wall and successfully translated them all in his mind.

This was indeed a technique, different from both Immortal Cultivation Techniques and any martial arts Mind-Cultivation Technique he knew. It seemed like a brand new method existing independently between the two.

However, he had no intention of trying to Cultivate it for now. This damn place's aura was too creepy.

He decided to continue walking along the wall, find the exit, and get out first.

But the moment he took a step, his head grew heavy again, and an extreme sense of weakness washed over his body.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in the courtyard.

The world spun, his vision filled with double images.

"Damn! How am I back again?"

He barely managed to squeeze out these words before his body went limp, collapsing to the ground with a *thud*, soft as if he hadn't eaten for ten days and nights.

No time for further thought. He felt if he waited any longer, he would starve to death.

Chun Xiaobai immediately raised his hand and flipped it, pulling out two bottles of Medicinal Pills from his Storage Pouch. Without even checking their names, he poured them into his mouth, too lazy to chew, and forced them down his throat.

Two bottles of Medicinal Pills only restored a tiny sliver of his strength.

Immediately after, using this last shred of strength, he pulled out a few more bottles of Medicinal Pills and gulped them all down. Finally, the frantic hunger subsided, but his vision was still somewhat dark.

No choice!

He could only take out the last dozen or so Medicinal Pills and swallowed them all in one go. That bone-gnawing hunger was only half relieved.

"Damn it! Dragging This Great King into that crappy space actually requires such a huge price?"

He discovered that the power he had painstakingly absorbed from over a thousand Spirit Stones to reach Qi Refining Stage 1 had been completely exhausted after entering that mysterious space just now.

Fortunately, his Physique hadn't changed; it just needed to be "recharged" to recover.

Chun Xiaobai stood up with a dark expression, took out the last two hundred Spirit Stones, and crushed them one by one.

Forget about kidney stones. He transformed them into a bucket of water and gulped it down.

He absorbed it according to the method he had figured out before.

Only after a warm current flowed throughout his body did the fatigue wash away, and the strength he had consumed finally recovered.

"Whew!"

He exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, plopped down in the courtyard, and looked up at the sky.

Observing the positions of the stars in the sky, he realized that from the moment he sat cross-legged earlier until now, after finishing the pills, the entire process had only taken about two or three minutes.

"That's not right!"

"This Great King was inside for almost two hours just now! In theory, the sky should be light by now!"

"Could it be that the flow of time inside that space is different from the outside?"

He quickly felt around his body but found no mysterious spatial treasure like a jade pendant, bead, or such.

But his experience just now matched the descriptions of spatial treasures he had heard of perfectly.

Immediately after, he thought of something and took off the purple-gold token the Woman in Red had given him from his belt.

"Could it be this thing?"

"No, no."

"If this were a spatial treasure, how could that woman casually give it to This Great King?"

But if not, it seemed he had nothing else on him that looked like a treasure.

Chun Xiaobai sat in the courtyard, carefully recalling.

He mentally reviewed all the mysterious items and things that looked like treasures he had obtained over the years through robbery and theft. None seemed related to spatial treasures.

"Could it be... it really is this purple-gold token?"

"Forget it, whether it is or not, let's just assume it is!"

This purple-gold token happened to have a hole. He directly found a sturdy string, threaded it through, and hung it around his neck.

"This Great King is also someone with a spatial treasure now!"

He now roughly understood why he had been suddenly sucked into that mysterious space.

Most likely, he had just stepped into Qi Refining Stage 1 and, with itchy hands, activated "Berserk" mode.

His own body's intensity and power increased by one Rank, just meeting the minimum condition to enter that mysterious space, which was why he was sucked in.

But with his current strength, he could only last less than twenty breaths inside.

And in those less than twenty breaths, the flow of time inside was about two hours.

"So this young master also has his secrets!"

"No wonder that damned woman threw This Great King here. That woman likely also saw that this young master is a peerless Genius with a Heaven-Defying Physique!"

He now increasingly felt that the Woman in Red had significant ambitions.

No! No!

He must increase his power as soon as possible!

This woman was likely "fattening the pig"!

When the day came for her to "slaughter the pig," if his power was insufficient, he would definitely be at her mercy!

Thinking of this, a strong sense of crisis welled up from the depths of his heart.
