The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 752 - 436: The Most Hidden Secret

...

On the day his body was pushed to its limits, it absorbed an astonishing amount of Yang Energy through the essence of sky and earth. This energy directly entered the Upper Dantian, and although he absorbed Yin Energy at night, it was far from enough to balance the energy within him.

Considering his options, Yan Xiaobao continued to work hard, and in three months, significant changes occurred.

Although he only perfected the Earthquake, shaking the earth, he was fully aware of how surprising this attack was. He hoped that in the remaining three months, he could also perfect the earth. If he could accomplish this, then he would perfect half of the skills, giving him a very powerful attack that could be used in the unknown tomb. He was prepared to secretly bring some treasures into his storage stone, hoping to also get rid of the Third Prince. Although he gave the prince a high-level skill, he had already ensured it was a skill that wasn’t very useful to Yan Xiaobao. With his wings, it was impossible to pin him to the ground.

While Yan Xiaobao focused on training, the Third Prince visited him once. This visit was a few weeks after he visited the castle, and their meeting was brief. It was obvious that Shiu Ye was uncomfortable with the fact that Hui Yue had no demands after giving him such an amazing skill, and when they met, Hui Yue had already made it clear it was a gift in exchange for telling him about the tomb. Now he was invited to join them.

The prince had asked why he was rewarded, as his father had both told him about the tomb and invited him, but Yan Xiaobao snorted and asked the prince how much support the prince had in the court. Everyone knew the prince was the master controller. Thus, the gift was meant for the prince, and if he had to choose between princes, he only had a relationship with the Third Prince.

This brought a smile to the Third Prince’s face. He was happy to stay and chat. However, when he heard that Yan Xiaobao was training to improve his combat skills for the tomb raid, he quickly had the young man promise to join Shao Ye’s personal squad and excused himself.

Not only was Shao Ye satisfied with this, but Yan Xiaobao was also excited. He quickly agreed to approach the Third Prince. Even if he did not obtain any treasure, at least he should be able to find an opportunity to lure him away from his guards and avenge his two friends at that moment.

The only person who visited regularly was Cou Ling. She often came to hear about Yan Xiaobao’s performance. When she came, she usually brought gossip and often provided information about how she persuaded some of her friends to visit the Ma family and join Yan Xiaobao’s faction. Every time she spoke, she was very excited, and her pretty face blushed. When Cou Ling appeared, Hui Yue always had time to talk with her because he enjoyed their conversations so much. It was a brief, relaxing break from training. While Yan Xiaobao was busy with his training, Muchuan City was getting busier. Mercenaries from all over the country came to the city and stayed in the area. This ensured they knew when the raid on the tomb began. Experts from families in the Sun Kingdom and Moon Province came here. Not only those who were invited, but also many who were not. Information about the appearance of the unknown tomb turned into the most secretive secret. Even some magical beasts had heard about it and were tempted by these treasures, causing them to appear in the city in human form. Even if they were seen as hybrids, it was worth the chance to grab at least a little treasure.

Most people were unaware that some beasts could shape human bodies. The most trusted sources of information said that beasts needed to become Saint experts to transform; however, Yan Xiaobao knew from his time in the Divine Domain that this wasn’t true. Indeed, controlling and changing a person’s appearance required becoming a Saint, but every beast had the ability to transform into a human. This would change their features in various ways. They would acquire different colored hair, different eyes, and even various colors of skin. Generally, they would stand out in the crowd.

The general population considered many citizens of mixed blood to be fully mature beasts, although no one had anything to say about it. This was the beasts’ secret to bringing themselves to the tomb.

It had only been three months since Yan Xiaobao left the castle, but by this time, every house in Muchuan City was filled with excited cultivators ready to share their fortune. Any house or mansion put up for sale had been sold, and all rooms had been rented. The inns had no free rooms at all. Soon, even the cities surrounding Muchuan were as full as the capital itself.

Another two months passed, and suddenly there was a burst of joyful eruption. Yan Xiaobao stood on the same land he used to perfect the Divine Sun Flames, and this time, there was no crater. Now, there were thousands of sharp spikes protruding from the ground. Some were no more than 1 meter tall, and some reached up to 3 meters. Regardless of which sharp spike one saw, all they saw was a tip so sharp it could easily pierce anyone. If one did not have proper defenses, they would surely meet a terrible end. Even Saints wouldn’t feel safe unless Wu Wei protected them. He took a long time to find the process for using the Earth Hand in his mind, and when he closed his eyes, he watched the complex patterns he needed to push his spiritual energy through. The use of this skill was twice as difficult as his previous successes, but he was not one to give up easily. Before he actually began to put the theory into practice, he continued to memorize the path in his heart, with a sinister smile on his face. He long understood the importance of taking time when learning the paths his spiritual energy had to flow. If he made a mistake, it was obvious he would suffer. This was something he could not afford now, as he was so close to the raid on the tomb. Every time he thought about it, an uncontrollable excitement arose within him.
