Chapter 111: Chapter 93: Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique (Seeking Subscriptions, Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2
Translator: 549690339
If the opponent is one rank higher than oneself, such as Qi Cultivation compared to Foundation Establishment, the loss of lifespan for the opponent would reduce by at least half. The specific loss of lifespan would depend on the cultivation level of the opponent, with the maximum reduction being half of one’s offered lifespan.
As for a bigger gap, such as Qi Cultivation cursing a Golden Core, the loss of lifespan ratio might be even further reduced. Nonetheless, this is still a chilling Forbidden Technique.
After all, one level of Qi Cultivation could exchange for the lifespan of nine levels of Qi Cultivation, which was an incredibly profitable effect!
Liang Sheng was overjoyed at this and was glad that he had decisively killed the opponent. Otherwise, if he had lost some lifespan, it would have been a huge loss for him.
On the other hand, this was simply the most suitable curse technique for him. After all, lifespan was just a number for Liang Sheng. As long as he had time, this number would keep growing.
Moreover, under the Talent of Innocent Foolishness, there were no bottlenecks for any techniques. If he could break through the limit of the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique, would the effect become stronger?
After a long time, Liang Sheng’s excitement finally calmed down. Fortunately, the opponent was just an incidental cultivator from the secular world with no background. His plan to hide in the secular world did not need to change.
Today’s unexpected harvest brought great joy; however, he also learned a lesson: never write a diary in life.
A few days later, Liang Sheng left the capital and returned to Zhou Village on the outskirts of the capital, resuming his previously peaceful life.
At this time, Prince Wei and the King of Anyang had already returned to their territories. Before leaving, Prince Wei shared a piece of good news to Liang Sheng: they had found the Elixir Refinement Spiritual Grass he needed in the East Sun Country.
It was truly a double delight.
After that, Liang Sheng’s life returned to its regular routine: cultivation, talisman drawing, pill refining, and practicing curse-imprinting technique. He even spent nine years of his lifespan to practice the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique, which was extremely extravagant.
There was no other cultivator like Liang Sheng that could afford to use their lifespan to practice this technique. This method of cultivation was simply enviable.
However, in theseveral years, his lifespan allowed him to fully master the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique, which he could now instantly release.
Under such circumstances, the 31st year of Emperor Wu’s reign had unknowingly arrived, and Zhou Nan had once again returned to the mortal world.
Liang Sheng’s cultivation level steadily improved and became what it is now:
Name: Liang Sheng
Age: 242
Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top-Grade)
Techniques: Upper Pure Immortal Scripture (Third Level), Twenty Life-Nurturing Techniques (Sixteenth Level), Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique (Curse)
Realm: Qi Cultivation Third Level (86%)
Lifespan: 9201
The Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique had no levels, and it was directly marked as a curse technique. It made him wonder if there would be any change in the annotations when he continued practicing and breaking through the limits?
However, that was something to consider later. This peaceful time continued until the 40th year of Emperor Wu’s reign when Liang Sheng personally guarded outside the Xigu Pass, preparing to welcome Zhou Nan’s return.
At this time, Liang Sheng’s Attribute Panel had a new change, and his cultivation level had progressed further:
Name: Liang Sheng
Age: 251
Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top-Grade)
Techniques: Upper Pure Immortal Scripture (Fourth Level), Twenty Life-Nurturing Techniques (Sixteenth Level), Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique (Curse)
Realm: Qi Cultivation Fourth Level (20%)
Lifespan: 9182
During these nine years, Liang Sheng spent another nine years of his lifespan practicing the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique. Since he couldn’t see any change, he slowed down the practice frequency of the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Technique.
The reason Liang Sheng personally arrived at Xigu Pass was that Zhou Chi had already passed away a few months ago. Liang Sheng was somewhat helpless about this, but for safety reasons, he could only use these old people.
After all, allowing young members of the Zhou family to enter the cultivation market meant dealing with the unknown changes that might come with it. What if their cultivation progressed? How would they handle it?
Therefore, Liang Sheng didn’t allow matters to get out of his control. Even if it was troublesome, he wouldn’t lose sight of the big picture while focusing on minor things. In any case, it was just about frequently changing personnel.
Subsequently, the white-haired Zhou Nan appeared in the mortal world without anyone following him. As before, Liang Sheng waited for some time before joining up with Zhou Nan.
When Zhou Nan heard that Zhou Chi had died, he was gratified because, after today, he would also enjoy his final days in the mortal world.
Also, this time Zhou Nan brought more things than ever before. In addition to more Qi Refining Pills, there were also many more refining materials and spiritual grass for the Qi Refining Pills.
However, Zhou Nan also brought some bad news: the three Sects and six Orders’ hundred-year rotation had arrived. This time, Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Upper Green Sect were taking over their duties.
So the manager of Hua Tian Sect communicated in a subtle manner to be careful not to frequent the market and return to the secular world too often in the next hundred years, lest they encounter unnecessary trouble.
Zhou Nan didn’t understand the reason, but Liang Sheng immediately realized what was going on: they were worried that Foundation Establishment experts from the Upper Green Sect would trouble the Zhou family.
After all, the market was far from the emperor’s reach, and the Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed by the three Sects and six Orders were the masters of the market. The manager of Hua Tian Sect was already being merciful by warning him.
In the winter of the 41st year of Emperor Wu’s reign, Zhou Nan parted with the world. By this time, there were hardly any traces of wild spiritual grass left in the East Sun Country.
Luckily, over the years, Liang Sheng had planted some spiritual grass in the Great Zhou region, which yielded some harvest for him to put a temporary halt to his plans for secular conquests of other countries.
It wasn’t that Liang Sheng didn’t want to continue conquering other countries and acquire resources, but the 50th year of Emperor Wu’s reign was approaching. According to the ancestral teachings of Emperor Xuan of Great Zhou, Emperor Wu would have to abdicate by then.
Launching a campaign at this time might lead to some trouble. He could only wait for the new emperor to ascend to the throne before re-evaluating his plans. After all, as time went on and the situation changed, so too would his plans..
