Chapter 657: Chapter 286: Potion of Separation_3
“Ever since the current Hall Master Wan Yutang ascended to power, he has been vigorously managing affairs, and eventually succeeded in making an inroad into that place’s core area.
“In the ruins of a collapsed building, we found records of the potion of separation, along with some other things…”
“Other things?”
Su Mo glanced at Ding Wugong, his brow subtly furrowing in thought.
The potion of separation possesses bizarre and extraordinary effects, not something common items could replicate.
But what he didn’t understand was why the Da Xuan Dynasty would devote so much effort to researching such a poison. What were they aiming for?
Ding Wugong’s face began to show a shade of pain, though he could still bear the pain for now, he dared not show any complaint to prevent displeasing Su Mo, so he gritted his teeth and endured:
“About the other things… it’s awkward, given my status, I don’t know much.
“But… Regarding the potion of separation, I actually know something…
“I once heard… Hall Master Ren said that in the past, the Da Xuan Dynasty did not refine the potion of separation as a poison.
“Instead… it was for the creation of the Elixir of Immortality.”
“…”
Su Mo was momentarily lost for words. This claim was hardly surprising or novel.
Elixir of Immortality… Isn’t that a rather clichéd item?
As an emperor, which one doesn’t desire immortality?
Whether successful or not, it was always worth a try.
“… From this, Hall Master Ren once speculated.
“In the past, the Da Xuan Dynasty made seven incursions into Jianghu to seek exotic treasures and incorporate various Absolute Skills into Da Xuan’s Armory.
“Since the notion of Qiyun became popular, there were rumors claiming that they did so in order to suppress the Qiyun of the Da Xuan Dynasty.
“They aimed to forge an eternal, undying dynasty.
“However, Hall Master Ren believed… the true purpose of these seven incursions into Jianghu was actually to gather various precious materials for the refinement of the Elixir of Immortality.
“Unfortunately, whether the Elixir of Immortality was ever achieved remains unknown.
“However, the potion of separation indeed came into being.
“After Wusheng Hall obtained this recipe, they studied it carefully…
“Though lacking many essential mystical ingredients, they… still barely managed to create this potion of separation.”
Su Mo’s eyebrows slightly raised, thoughtful.
However, the affairs of the ancient Da Xuan Dynasty are no longer verifiable, and despite some contemplation now, it is difficult to uncover the truth.
Therefore, Su Mo didn’t dwell much on this matter but instead asked with a smile:
“Where did the Great Transformation Rebirth Heart Lotus Scripture come from?”
“…”
Ding Wugong hesitated for a moment before finally saying:
“This…”
“You don’t have to say it.”
Su Mo, playing with the two porcelain bottles in his hand, said, “The potion of separation indeed is a valuable item.”
“…”
Ding Wugong sighed deeply:
“It was taught by Hall Master Ren.”
This answer was not surprising to Su Mo and Yang Xiaoyun.
But after sharing a look, Su Mo scoffed:
“Nonsense and rubbish!
“The Great Transformation Rebirth Heart Lotus Scripture has, throughout the generations, only been practiced by the Great Hall Master of Wusheng Hall.
“He, Ren Xiongfei, is merely the Vice Hall Master of the Tenth Hall. What qualification does he have to cultivate this skill?
“Not to mention possessing such a legacy?”
“This…”
Ding Wugong looked deeply anxious:
“Lord Su, the Chief of the Escort, I am truly not daring to deceive at this moment.
“The Great Transformation Rebirth Heart Lotus Scripture truly was transmitted by the Vice Hall Master.
“I had my doubts about this matter, but after asking, he just told me that it was the command of the Great Hall Master.
“He said since I have been drifting outside, doing many things for Wusheng Hall,
“I naturally should be taught the Divine Skill and Absolute Skill as a reward.”
Su Mo played with the two porcelain bottles in his hand, without sparing another glance at Ding Wugong, merely inquiring:
“When did Ren Xiongfei transmit this martial arts technique to you?”
“About… over half a year ago.”
He spoke up to here, as Yang Xiaoyun was just passing the hall, heading towards Su Mo.
On passing by Ding Wugong, who had always been behaving obediently until now, suddenly erupted violently.
Between his palms, he had converged all the power he had cultivated since practicing the Great Transformation Rebirth Heart Lotus Scripture, not to kill Yang Xiaoyun, but to capture her.
Yang Xiaoyun’s martial arts were inherited from Yang Yizhi.
The Da Shang Xuanting Scripture, even within Donghuang, is accounted as a Divine Skill and Absolute Skill.
Not to mention her family’s spear technique, the Canglong Bahuang Dianyun Spear.
To suddenly attack such a skilled master, Ding Wugong naturally did not hold back.
He also knew that doing so would undoubtably enrage Su Mo.
But by now, this was the only solution left tonight, he couldn’t afford not to act.
There was only one chance; if missed, they would truly be just meat on someone’s chopping board.
Thus, he had to go all in!
However, before his palms could reach Yang Xiaoyun, the sound of Dragon Roar was already resonating.
Looking up, he saw as if a Divine Dragon was coiled around Yang Xiaoyun.
The sweep of the wind forced Ding Wugong, living up to his name, to retreat empty-handed.
His palms throbbing with pain, he then realized that what he had seen was not a Divine Dragon.
It was clearly the Dragon Abyss Spear in Yang Xiaoyun’s hands!
As he looked up again, Yang Xiaoyun was already thrusting forward with her spear, its tip aiming straight for his chest.
Ding Wugong was not afraid but delighted, and laughed heartily:
“Do you think you can kill me?”
As his voice fell, he rushed forward, aiming for the spear tip.
But unexpectedly, just as he was about to touch the spear tip, he saw a flash of silver light and the next moment, the spear that should have penetrated Ding Wugong’s chest suddenly vanished.
From the side, he heard the whistling of the wind.
Turning around, he saw Yang Xiaoyun’s spear tracing a semi-circular arc, the spear shaft fully extended, brutally swung across.
With a crack!
Ding Wugong spun through the air, flying out.
After landing, clutching his face, looking around in confusion: “How am I not dead yet?”
“Want to die?”
Yang Xiaoyun gently shook her head, stepping over to Su Mo’s side:
“This man’s mind is witty and crafty. He wanted to use my hand to take his life, to avoid suffering from the potion of separation.”
