Chapter 1222 - 1216: The Haunted Incident
The Armor-breaking Pill is said to be a kind of pill, but in reality, it’s more apt to say it’s a type of hidden weapon.
A hidden weapon around the Jade rank, its value isn’t high but it is still considered a precious item.
To most people, it is roughly similar in value to an Intermediate Qi Stone.
It’s bullet-sized, wrapped in a thin layer of clay; once shattered, the special medicinal powder inside will scatter into the wind.
Once contaminated with the powder, a Martial Artist’s True Qi becomes obstructed, thus reducing both their attack and defense significantly.
For Martial Artists, using the Armor-breaking Pill seems somewhat dishonorable.
However, it’s different for Spirit Masters.
It’s well known that Spirit Masters aren’t adept at close combat; once attacked at close range by Martial Artists, they rarely escape.
Therefore, some Spirit Masters, even some at the Great Spirit Master level, carry hidden weapons like the Armor-breaking Pill for convenient escape.
Xin Lin had never seen pill-type hidden weapons before, so she held one in her hand, pondering over it.
After Lu Yuan sent the Armor-breaking Pill, he then remembered that Xin Lin wasn’t an ordinary Martial Artist; she was on par with Mo Wu.
This meant Xin Lin’s strength was greater than his.
Under such circumstances, he still gave her the Armor-breaking Pill?
Lu Yuan felt a bit frustrated, but thinking about the Erosion Qi Skill in his possession, his mood improved significantly, and he returned merrily to ponder the Erosion Qi Skill.
As night fell, Xin Lin returned to the wooden cabin.
She had already figured out the components of the Armor-breaking Pill; it’s a consumable item, and she planned to refine a few herself, as they might come in handy later.
After tossing all the Armor-breaking Pills into the Tuling hairpin, Xin Lin took out the Erosion Qi Skill cultivation technique.
This cultivation technique was nearing the Earth Rank.
Its main function is to weaken the opponent’s True Qi.
"Using one’s own True Qi as a guide, significantly weaken the opponent’s True Qi; novice practitioners can weaken about twenty percent of the opponent’s True Qi, and skilled practitioners can weaken approximately fifty percent. It is effective against Martial Artists below the Blood Realm. Above the Blood Realm, the effectiveness greatly diminishes."
Xin Lin looked at the Erosion Qi Skill and nodded.
No wonder Nolan Zhuyun would bring it out; while this cultivation technique is good, it’s not truly superior in application, and it can be used adequately until she breaks through the Blood Realm.
Only useful below the Blood Realm, meaning encountering someone like Mo Wu would still be tricky.
Either way, let’s see how much Heaven-defying Value is needed to enhance this cultivation technique.
Xin Lin glanced at the Heaven-defying Book, opening the Opportunity Pawnshop.
She tossed the Erosion Qi Skill into the second column.
A line of text immediately appeared below the Erosion Qi Skill.
"Novice level requires 500 Heaven-defying Value."
Xin Lin was taken aback; her Enchanting Spell hadn’t reached its highest level yet, it seems achieving novice level in Erosion Qi Skill will require more time.
She thought about it and decided to cultivate on her own for a while.
Xin Lin sat cross-legged and began her meditation.
At midnight, in the Longteng Palace, inside Fuluan Palace, the Empress Feng exclaimed in shock, her face pale with sweat.
"Empress, what happened?"
The palace maids outside were shocked, rushing inside.
Upon seeing the Empress Feng’s condition, the palace maids’ expressions changed.
"There’s a ghost, a ghost at the window."
The Empress Feng pointed with her face ghastly toward the window not far away.
The palace maids followed the Empress Feng’s gesture and looked over, seeing the finely carved floral pattern on the window ledge, the window wide open, a chilling wind blowing in, making their spines shiver.
