CHAPTER 1259: CHAPTER 1259: TECHNIQUE RANKS

Hearing Zhou Yu’s stop, Li Qinglong and Wing King paused in their steps and turned back.

"Zhou Yu, what’s the matter?"

Li Qinglong asked.

Zhou Yu frowned tightly and said:

"The blood-colored token in Ao Qingzhou’s hand is probably not just for teleportation."

"Therefore, don’t chase a desperate enemy!"

"Besides, the effects of the True Martial Explosion Pill on you two are about to wear off."

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, he saw both Li Qinglong and Wing King’s faces turn pale; the terrifying Gang Jin brought by the pill medicine dissipated instantly within them.

Li Qinglong and Wing King staggered, almost falling.

However, they managed to steady themselves.

Li Qinglong smiled bitterly.

"Damn, I almost forgot about that."

"I almost thought I had really advanced to the Fifth Grade King Realm."

Wing King also wiped his cold sweat and said:

"Thankfully, Mr. Zhou reminded us in time."

"Otherwise, even if we caught up with him, we’d be heading to our deaths."

Zhou Yu said in a deep voice:

"Now, I’m still injured, and you’re both in a weakened state, so the urgent task is to recover our injuries as soon as possible."

"I had also refined some pills for recovering injuries when I was making the True Martial Explosion Pill. Let’s find a safe place to take those pills and recover quickly."

"Alright."

Both Li Qinglong and Wing King hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The three quickly found a safe place and began to take their pills.

As the pills entered their bodies, the medicinal effects gradually manifested, and their injuries began to heal at a visible speed.

Wing King remarked with emotion:

"These pills, refined from ancient spirit medicine, are unknown how many times better than current spiritual medicine."

"Truly envious of the ancient cultivators."

Hearing this, Li Qinglong also agreed:

"Indeed."

"The methods of the ancient cultivators are truly fascinating; it’s a pity we can’t experience them."

Wing King shook his head and said:

"Li Elder, you’re mistaken there."

"The technique Mr. Zhou just used, if I saw correctly, is precisely an ancient cultivator’s method."

"Mr. Zhou, am I right?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qinglong was also taken aback; he suddenly remembered.

When Zhou Yu killed Kan Jiulian, the Thunder Light surrounding him was incredibly shocking; anyone who didn’t know would think the Thunder God had descended.

Li Qinglong immediately looked at Zhou Yu excitedly.

"Zhou Yu, what technique did you just use?"

"Was it truly an ancient cultivator’s technique?"

Given the situation, Zhou Yu didn’t conceal it; he smiled faintly.

"Correct."

"I received the inheritance of an ancient cultivator in Thundercloud Gorge."

"However, with my current strength, I can only barely use the lowest-level methods of it."

Hearing this, a bright light flashed in Wing King’s eyes.

"That move just now is merely a low-level method?"

"So, Mr. Zhou, the inheritance you obtained is at least a Mystic Rank technique."

"Mystic Rank Technique?"

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

This was the first time he heard such a saying.

"What does that mean?"

Zhou Yu immediately asked.

Wing King took a deep breath, showing a reminiscing expression.

"This is the classification of ancient cultivator techniques, and this story is related to the ancient transformation."

"Transformation?"

Zhou Yu became interested.

"Wing King, can you tell us all you know?"

Wing King nodded and said: "Of course, no problem."

"Actually, I heard these from an ancestor, so I’m not sure if it’s true."

"It is said that ancient cultivators had a very different cultivation method from us, they cultivated immortality, but later, for unknown reasons, there was a massive change in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, and ancient cultivators gradually disappeared..."

"Then, through thousands of years of evolution, cultivation methods gradually degenerated to the current state."

"In today’s Martial Arts World, the path closest to the ancient cultivator’s methods is the Qi Refining Path, but due to the limitations of Spiritual Energy, Qi Refining is difficult to progress, so most people choose Body Refinement."

"And according to my ancestor, the ancient cultivators’ techniques are divided into Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow ranks, with Heaven Rank being the strongest and Yellow Rank the weakest."

"Some martial artists on the Qi Refining path can also cultivate certain ancient cultivator techniques. It is said that any Qi Refining martial artist who can cultivate an ancient cultivator’s technique is the creme de la creme."

"However, most of these people can only cultivate some Yellow Rank techniques."

"But even a Yellow Rank technique can allow a Qi Refining Master to contend with martial artists a whole realm higher."

"And the technique Mr. Zhou just used, even the lowest-level method, could kill a Fifth Grade King Realm, so I speculate that Mr. Zhou has obtained a Mystic Rank technique."

"That’s about all I know."

After hearing Wing King’s words, both Zhou Yu and Li Qinglong showed expressions of shock.

Li Qinglong sighed:

"I really learned a lot today."

"I never knew there were so many nuances to the Qi Refining path."

Wing King chuckled.

"Some aspects, the Martial Pavilion certainly knows better than I do, maybe Elder Li just never paid attention to them."

Li Qinglong smiled sheepishly:

"I really never focused on them."

He then looked at Zhou Yu and smiled.

"Kid, you’re becoming more and more incredible. You’ve obtained Mystic Rank techniques, and now, below the Sixth Grade King Realm, no one can trouble you."

"When the Pavilion Master sent me to protect you, I was prepared for a long stay in Hu City, but it’s only been a little over a month, and it seems you don’t need my protection."

Zhou Yu smiled wryly.

"Elder Li, you’re overestimating me."

"Even though I now have high-level techniques, I lack the capacity to use them properly. Just one lowest-level move almost exhausted me, so I’ll still need Elder Li’s help in the future."

Kidding, it wasn’t easy for the Hu City Martial Pavilion to get an expert like Li Qinglong; Zhou Yu wouldn’t let him leave so easily.

Li Qinglong chuckled.

"That is true."
