Su Quan was speechless.

“Brother Chang, thank you so much for this time. If you need any help in the future, you must come to look me,” said Su Yao softly.

“Sigh, you’re welcome. It was the Martial Sage who saved you, not me.”

Lu Wuchang retracted his gaze and waved his hand with a smile. “But there’s indeed something I need your help with. I just don’t know if you’re willing.”

With that, Lu Wuchang smiled in embarrassment.

“What is it?” Su Yao became strangely nervous.

“Marry me.”

Lu Wuchang stared into Su Yao’s eyes seriously and said sincerely, “Marry me, Yaoyao, I’m willing…”

“Hey, don’t leave. Yes or no? Say something!”

…

In a the tree crown.

Su Jingxing opened his palm space and took out the cards he had extracted.

There were hundreds of members in Gourmand.

Among them, almost a hundred were in the top ranks. Most of the cards extracted from these people were True Essence Cards.

With cultivation ranging from one year to ten years.

Su Jingxing unlocked and absorbed everything, converting them into Heaven Trampling True Essence.

In addition, the True Energy Cards from the others were also unlocked. They were first converted into Heaven Trampling True Energy, and finally Heaven Trampling True Essence.

The True Energy Cards and True Essence Cards he had previously stored away were also unlocked and absorbed to convert into his true essence cultivation.

In the end, his true essence cultivation increased by another hundred years, reaching 300 years!

In addition, there were two Deduction Cards, one Memory Card, and 11 Skill Cards. They were quite important.

The 11 Skill Cards contained either high-level martial arts or secret abilities. After Su Jingxing read the information, he put them all away as backup.

Out of the two Deduction Cards, one contained four deduction chances, with a 60% success rate each time.

The other contained five deduction chances, each with an 80% success rate.

These two people were undoubtedly geniuses. It was easy for them to create their own martial arts, but they took the wrong path.

After unlocking the last Memory Card, Su Jingxing read the information. While he was excited, he also sighed with emotion.

Xia Shigai!

This Memory Card came from the silver-masked man, who was the first person Su Jingxing killed.

Judging by his identity, Xia Shigai had a very high status in Gourmand.

However, after watching more than 40 years of his memories, he realized that this fellow was not only of high status. His identity was even more extraordinary.

Xia Shigai, surname Xia.

That’s right, he was a member of the capital’s Xia Family, a descendant of Xia Cangxuan.

In the Xia Family, Xia Shigai was also a core member. He was part of the older generation. Outsiders addressed him Second Master Xia.

In the first-grade, he had already condensed the Divine Embryo. He was only one step away from hatching an Essence Soul.

But this last step was the hardest to clear.

As the Second Master of the Xia Family, Xia Shigai knew all the secrets of the Xia Family.

Capturing barbarians was naturally one of them.

However, it was a little different from what Su Jingxing had imagined. The Xia Family was indeed the mastermind behind the manipulation of the barbarians in the dark, but the Xia Family was not the only mastermind. The Xiang Family of the New Chu Nation was also involved.

Yes, the Xia Family was colluding with New Chu’s Xiang Family!

The barbarians were captured by the Old Xiang Family and brought into the Yu Nation through a secret channel.

The Xia Family had equipped the barbarians with mechanical battle armor and spread them out in the 18 prefectures. Their goal was not only to cause destruction, but also to get the rights to control the prefectures.

Simply put, the Xia Family wanted to seize power from the cabinet and restore the dignity of the imperial family!

For example, in the New Chu Nation, the Xiang Family held great power, and the other factions could only contend against them by joining forces.

The Xia Family also wanted to be like the Xiang Family.

For this, they colluded with the Xiang Family behind the cabinet’s back.

This was the real reason for Xia Cangxuan’s sorrow.

There was no one else whose descendants would collude with an enemy nation for the sake of power.

Over the decades, the Xia Family had brought in more than 3,000 barbarians from the Xiang Family.

These barbarians were scattered in the 18 prefectures of the Yu Nation. Xia Shigai was aware of every stronghold.

Su Jingxing had wanted to wait before dealing with the Xia Family.

It was because he could not settle them in one go. Even if he joined forces with the cabinet, they wouldn’t be able to finish in one go.

The reason was that no one except the upper echelons of the Xia Family knew about the Xia Family’s scattered strongholds.

Moreover, it was unclear if anyone in the cabinet had colluded with the Xia Family.

Now all was good.

Through Xia Shigai’s memories, Su Jingxing learned the distribution of these strongholds.

Knowing the locations, Su Jingxing could now handle the matter alone.

Given the Essence Soul’s ability to cross spaces, it could be resolved overnight.

However, before that, Su Jingxing also saw another piece of exciting information in Xia Shigai’s memories.

Physical sanctification!

Gourmand’s goal in capturing Lu Wuchang and the others was to sanctify their physical bodies.

Other than Lu Wuchang, everyone else had special physiques.

They were either transcendent body martial artists or bloodline martial artists.

These people came from the 13 countries of the Eastern Continent, and there were dozens of them. In the end, they were held at Green Cloud Mountain because Green Cloud Mountain’s fate was the most special.

As for why it was special, Xia Shigai didn’t know either. Like Su Jingxing, they had also deduced it through heavenly secret arts.

Of course, of the hundreds of people in Gourmand, only three were qualified to sanctify their bodies.

Silver Mask, Golden Mask, Copper mask.

Xia Shigai was Silver Mask. The three of them had all condensed Divine Embryos and were only one step away.

This final step was achieved with the cooking of dozens of martial artists with special constitutions.

Su Jingxing browsed through Xia Shigai’s memories. They were mainly about a set of theories passed down from ancient times in Gourmand about the sanctification of the physical body.

This theory was the key.

If the theory left behind by the nameless senior in the underground space inside the big white goose’s valley discussed the external to the internal,

then Gourmand… no, Glutton!

Ouyang Chan wasn’t lying. The identities of Xia Shigai and company had indeed formed their own faction. They had long since become independent and were called Glutton.

However, they deliberately used the name of Gourmand to make the faction on Ouyang Huai’s side feel disgusted, but helpless.

The physical body sanctification theory left behind by Glutton went from the internal to the external.

One from the external to the internal, and the other from the internal to the external.

As Su Jingxing read, he realized that these two theories could be combined.

That would be more complete, more thorough, and safer than using either one alone!

Why couldn’t Senior Nameless’s theory be realized?

Simply because the requirements are too harsh.

Being exposed to the sun for a few months, enduring lightning strikes for a few months, and lying in the snow for a few months…

F*ck, is this something a human can do?

Much less needed to be said about the set theories by Glutton. It was completely inhumane.

But the combination of the two was different.

Especially when Su Jingxing thought of the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book. This ultimate technique was a dual cultivation of the internal and the external.

Although it targeted the mind and soul, wouldn’t it be better to use this as the foundation and fuse two sets of theories?

Thump! Thump!

Su Jingxing’s heart raced.

He was inexplicably agitated and excited.

Let’s give it a try!

Try to fuse the two sets of theories!

As long as the theories could be fused, coupled with the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book, he could achieve the great goal of attaining sanctifying the physical body using the Deduction Card.

Compared to sanctifying the physical body, forging the Kingdom Defending Jade Seal and destroying the Xia Family were no longer important.

At this thought, Su Jingxing stopped moving.

On the tree crown, he swallowed a few Essence Energy Pills and racked his brains. He studied the two sets of theories and tried to fuse them together.

To fuse perfectly, the body was the key.

One day, two days, three days.

…

A week later, the excited Su Jingxing suddenly opened his eyes, unable to conceal the joy on his face.

Success!

He had successfully fused the two sets of theories on physical body sanctification.

Using the Emperor Chu’s Jade Book as the foundation, he achieved a sublimation of his physical body.

Of course, theories were just theories. Whether they could become real or not still depended on the Deduction Card.

Hence, Su Jingxing took out the two Deduction Cards he had just obtained and the one he kept as backup previously.

He unlocked the three Deduction Cards one by one and deduced the theories of physical sanctification.

In the end, there was still one last deduction chance left. Su Jingxing deduced the Divine Spirit Control Technique to fill in the gaps.

And he had finally obtained the method to sanctify the physical body!

There was no need to be exposed to the sun, struck by lightning, or be a beast.

He only needed to borrow the power of the Yu Nation’s fate to complete the transformation of his physical body.

The theories of the nameless senior, the theories of Glutton, and Emperor Chu’s Jade Book.

When the three were combined, physical sanctification was achieved!
