Chapter 111 New Business
"Supernatural power? Innate or acquired?"
Jiang Xia, who was cleaning up the ashes on his hands, immediately became alert when he heard what the female wolf demon said.
He turned his head to look at the cowboy Huck, who was almost crazy with ecstasy, and looked at the scales , and asked.
Liu Hui shook her tail and said uncertainly:
“Of course it’s an acquired magical power. Innate magical powers can only be obtained when an alien species is born.
But I'm not sure. This thing looks very similar. I remember seeing a pangolin monster in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. When it was promoted to the monster soldier realm, it grew similar scales.
Not only is it invulnerable to swords and spears, it can also strengthen the demon body and is not afraid of spell bombardment, but the scales in my memory seem to be thicker and more flexible. "
"Yeah?"
Jiang Xia stroked his chin, and after a few seconds, he shouted to Huck:
"Stop howling. Come here, little witch hunter. This master wants to test your bloodline again."
Hack Cowboy, feeling deeply that fate was unpredictable and that happiness came so suddenly, immediately stopped smiling and walked over obediently when he heard the call from the witch hunter from the East.
He has not forgotten who gave him the power. After becoming a bloodline, his physical senses were enhanced, allowing Hake to feel more clearly how powerful the people around him are.
Even Niu Hanhan, who had a very low presence, was aware of the strength of his cultivator's body.
very dangerous!
Several people around him have the ability to kill him.
The magnified instinct of seeking profit and avoiding harm from those of the bloodline made Huck's attitude more humble.
He walked to Jiang Xia, lowered his head, and prepared to listen to the master's teachings.
According to Huck's idea, the master should stand up and tell him some ancient rules that only witch hunters follow by the campfire late at night.
This is what we call a sense of ritual.
But Jiang Xia didn't.
He winked at Liu Hui, and the female wolf demon immediately stretched out her claws and clasped Hake's scaly left hand, and the four furry fingers exerted force in an instant.
"Click"
There was a slight sound, causing Hak's eyes to widen.
The scales on his wrist were easily crushed by the Werewolf Master. Although there was no pain, it was a heavy blow to Hack Cowboy.
This scale is not invincible.
“Stand still!”
Liu Hui looked at the fragments of scales in her claws, frowned, and said something to Huck, asking him to stand still. Then she gently waved her left claw forward, and there was a sound of wind.
Three green wind blades flew out along the wolf demon's claw marks, spinning and hitting Hake, leaving three clear tear marks on the scales on his chest.
Fragments flew everywhere.
Huck was startled, but his eyes became hot the next moment.
This is the true strength of a high-level bloodline person, which has risen from physical combat to supernatural powers.
This is also his future.
Hake had heard that although each witch hunter gained different abilities from burning ashes, once the bloodline was activated, they could increase their strength through continuous hunting and fighting.
As long as he doesn't die, he will keep improving.
Sooner or later, I will become such a powerful person.
“Ahem, Master Liu’s behavior just now is to let you know that bloodline is not invincible. Having abilities is only the starting point of the witch hunting career.
If you let pride take over your mind, then perhaps the next hunt will be your end."
Jiang Xia pretended to be a master and spoke "teachings" to Huck in a drawn-out voice. The cowboy also lowered his head and bowed in cooperation.
Obviously.
This was how he imagined the witch hunters would communicate.
Mysterious, ancient, full of philosophy and wisdom.
It sounds like a simple principle, but with Master Liu's personal practice, he taught the new witch hunter Huck J. Johnson a good lesson tonight.
"Go, go see your brother."
Jiang Xia waved his hand and said to Huck:
“After he wakes up, I will also test him. If he also has the talent, he can become a witch hunter like you.
But remember, Huck.
Any kind gift requires a sincere return. "
After sending the agitated Hake away with some incomprehensible words, Jiang Xia lit a cigarette and looked at the dark forest outside. He said to Liu Hui:
"How about it?"
"It is a bit weaker than the power of a demon soldier. He must have just obtained it and has not had time to practice it yet. But it is indeed a magical power of the scale armor class."
The wolf demon played with the fragments of scales in his armor and whispered:
“These ashes are really interesting. I don’t understand their principles at all, but the natural treasures that can grant cultivators magical powers are extremely rare in the Bitter Wood Realm.
Here it is everywhere..."
“Only the ashes of third-class monsters can give people the magical powers of the monster soldier realm. The monster soldier is the lowest level of your monster cultivation system. So, calculate it this way.
Even if it is the best monster, the magical power it can give is probably not higher than the level of a demon general."
Jiang Xia looked at the four bags of ashes in his hand and said with some regret:
“It may be useful to low-level monks, but it is just useless to high-level monks and cannot be sold for a lot of money.”
"That's not how supernatural powers are calculated, Boss. You really should brush up on your common sense of cultivation."
Liu Hui threw the scale fragments in her hand away and clapped her paws.
I explained to my boss, who was a layman in spiritual practice:
“Since it’s called magical power, it’s different from martial arts. I told you before that magical power is something that only we demons and monsters have.
I heard that elder say this when I was in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
The demons and monsters do not have a rigorous practice system like humans. We are born and raised by nature, and can only fight with our demon bodies. However, the laws of nature are unpredictable, and every bite and drink has its own destiny.
The human race has its own advantages, and so does our demon race naturally. In addition to strong demon bodies, our magical powers make up for it.
Lucky monsters are born with innate magical powers, and as the monsters grow in strength, they will also develop various acquired magical powers.
For example, the scales of scaly animals, the thick skin and sharp claws of beasts, the rapid concealment of flying feathers, etc. Once these acquired supernatural powers are born, they will become stronger with practice.
For example, Lord Lin, one of the three saints of my demon beasts, is not an orthodox demon cultivator, but it is said that Lord Lin is born with nine innate magical powers and is extremely powerful.
Later, he developed ninety-nine kinds of acquired supernatural powers.
"He can pick up the stars and the moon, shatter mountains with a snap of his fingers, split the sea with a thought, and achieve immortality. With his magical powers alone, he can easily defeat cultivators of the same realm. It's no problem."
Liu Hui's tone was full of envy. She wagged her tail and said to Jiang Xia, who was listening intently:
“So, Boss, if these ashes can really grant monks acquired magical powers, then they will also have some appeal to high-level monks.
After all, you humans, except for those who are born different or high-level cultivators who have been reincarnated and cultivated again, do not have supernatural powers.
I don't know much.
However, the elders of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect who have cultivated to the Dao-seeking realm only possess three or four magical powers at most.
It’s not as common as you think.”
"Well, now that you put it that way, I think I understand."
Jiang Xia pursed his lips and said:
“Divine power is a talent skill that does not occupy a skill bar. You can get one by burning ashes. It is like a cultivator getting a patch. You can get an extra talent without spending time.
It is really useful.
I was wrong.
However, you also said before that these magical powers are divided into innate and acquired. What is the difference?"
Jiang Xia asked like a curious baby.
He himself knew that his common sense of cultivation was a shortcoming and was not as profound as those cultivators with a heritage, so he asked humbly.
This is all common sense, and the wolf demon did not hide it.
It put its hands on its hips and explained:
“The simplest difference is that one is innate and the other is acquired.
But generally speaking, innate magical powers are most in line with the talents of monsters.
For example, another one of the three saints of my demon clan, the Great Saint Han Di, who has cultivated the immortal body of a demon saint, is a species of bull demon, and has two innate magical powers.
One is the roar of the Kuiniu, which can break the enemy's courage. One roar is enough to cause the flesh and blood of low-level cultivators to collapse and their souls to shatter. Moreover, the roar goes straight into the soul and cannot be blocked.
The second is the Green Rhinoceros Horn, which is born from ancient blood. It is infinitely strong and sharp, and can break all kinds of magical powers and treasures in the world. It is said that it was refined into a magical weapon by the Great Sage Han Di.
Everyone knows about the Ku Mu Realm, which is its innate spiritual weapon.
These two innate magical powers are also top-level among monsters. All innate magical powers are relatively mysterious and do not require time to practice. They can become stronger as the monster becomes stronger.
As for acquired supernatural powers, they are weaker."
Liu Hui flicked her claws, and four sharp claw blades popped out, waving in the air with a rustling sound, just like a famous sword.
It said to Jiangxia:
"With my claws, cutting fine steel and breaking spiritual shields is a piece of cake. It is much more powerful than ordinary beast claws.
This was born when I was in the Demon Soldier Realm. I need to practice continuously to become stronger. I was under the guidance of that elder, sharpening my claws every day, and only then did I practice it to this level when I was in the Demon General Realm.
Acquired supernatural powers can also be cultivated using this method. For example, scale-armored monsters can constantly sharpen their scales and armor, and eventually develop supernatural powers.
That is to say, because acquired supernatural powers can be acquired through practice, human cultivators will imitate our demon race in practice in order to deduce the supernatural powers.
Like I told you before.
The Kunlun School, one of the thirty-three sects of the Immortal Alliance, has a method of sword cultivation that can cultivate acquired sword skills. This is what they learned from the cultivation of flying feather monsters.
The magical powers of us monsters have always made you human cultivators jealous."
Liu Hui was a little proud.
It swung its big tail, snorted, and said:
“Although all major sects have similar techniques, it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to even get started, let alone spend time practicing techniques to gain magical powers.
The life span of human cultivators is not long. They can only live for four to five hundred years in the Dao-seeking realm. In such a short time, they also have to practice themselves, so it is naturally very difficult to acquire supernatural powers.
Not to mention, with the way this person burned just now, ordinary people without spiritual roots can also use the ashes to transform their bodies, sense spiritual energy, and force themselves into practice.
Even though they are destined not to go far without spiritual roots, at least it gives ordinary people some hope, right?
So, boss, do you understand the value of these ashes now?"
The wolf demon looked at the ashes with shining eyes and said to Jiang Xia:
“Although these are weakened magical powers, there are many people who want them. You can only take them back to Ku Mu Realm and exchange them for as much immortal coins as you want.
Unfortunately, once the news of such a valuable item spreads, you, boss, won’t be able to keep this hot secret place with your current power.
Just like when the Sword Casting Manor discovered the secret realm of strange fire, it was almost attacked by a group of jealous monks.
Perhaps, handing it over to the Immortal Alliance is a good choice?"
"This... let's talk about it later."
Jiang Xia blinked and said to Liu Hui:
“There is still a lot we don’t know about Ashes, so don’t jump to conclusions. Let’s continue looking for the return star array for this world.
It must not be far from here.
As for you.
Just take some time to go around, hunt those powerful monsters, and collect ashes, the more the better."
He waved his hand at Liu Hui and said:
“You can’t even hide the light in your eyes, so I won’t let you work in vain. Once you have collected enough ashes, you can pick out the ones that suit you best and burn them.
However, I also heard from Hake that only those with the most powerful bloodlines can withstand the pressure of multiple ash burnings."
"That's just because they are physically weak."
The wolf demon curled his lips and said:
"It may also be that they don't have the skills to operate spiritual energy, so they can only rely on their bodies to withstand it. According to my guess, as long as my body can withstand it, maybe I can also get ninety-nine acquired magical powers like Lord Lin.
I would be invincible then.
At that time, I can go to the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and look for them... Never mind, that's for the future."
Liu Hui waved her paw to Jiang Xia in farewell, then turned around and rushed into the darkness impatiently to carry out her hunting. This simple monster did not hide his desire for power at all.
It doesn't know how to be reserved, and it won't deliberately disguise its thoughts. Being with a guy like Liu Hui, Lao Jiang is relaxed. At least he doesn't have to worry about the stupid monster setting a trap for him without making a sound.
Watching it leave, Jiang Xia looked at the ashes in his hand again, his eyes full of eagerness.
"How can I give away such a good business so easily? Even if I really want to give it to the Immortal Alliance, I have to make enough money first!"
He looked back and saw Tiehanhan who was just finishing his meal. His eyes rolled and he immediately came up with an idea. Holding the ashes, Lao Jiang shouted to Hanhan:
"Come on, Hanhan, move around after you've eaten."
"Burn some ashes for me, so I can see how many kinds of acquired magical powers your body can withstand. Su, don't go.
Do you want to try it too?"
