My Cultivation Techniques Upgrade Automatically

Chapter 181: Chapter 180: Inconvenient to Describe

’If this young man before me is the person from the Jia Sanhao room, he must have a terrifying background!’

’If I can build a connection with him, and if Grandfather succeeds in his breakthrough this time, not only will the manor’s strength reach a new level, but restoring our former glory will surely be a simple matter!’

At this thought, Xu Le’s eyes lit up, and she gracefully stepped forward.

"Young Master, do you require assistance in standing guard?"

"My realm isn’t high, but I know some Martial Arts. If you don’t mind, Young Master..."

"Not needed."

Before she could finish, Wu Chen glanced at her and flatly refused.

’An Organ Refining Realm practitioner standing guard? Isn’t that just purely making a mess of things?!’

Xu Le’s mouth twitched. She hadn’t expected him to refuse so decisively.

But regardless of whether he had a powerful background, the fact that he went outside the manor alone to kill someone and survived an encounter with a Blood Slaughter Sect Elder was a clear display of his strength.

Seeing his decisive refusal, she didn’t dare say more, lest she annoy him. She could only clasp her fist politely and say:

"The safety of this section of the wall is in your hands, Young Master!"

"After this is over, you will be handsomely rewarded."

After speaking, she led her guards away to another section of the wall, a sullen look on her face.

Undisturbed, Wu Chen toyed with the longbow in his hands, a look of growing satisfaction in his eyes. He estimated this bow was likely a Tier Two weapon.

But the surrounding crowd was no longer calm.

The Young Manor Lord of Qingfeng Manor couldn’t have been more obvious. Her words just now were not just about standing guard; she was clearly trying to build a closer relationship.

As for how close, it was better not to say.

However, the crowd’s attention wasn’t on this, but on another matter.

"Young friend, when you entered the mountains just now, were there people from the Blood Slaughter Sect in the woods outside the manor?"

Someone asked with a terrified expression, "Do you know how many people from the Blood Slaughter Sect have come?"

If it were just a gathering of common ruffians, they would ultimately be nothing more than a disorderly mob and would be manageable.

But if people from the Blood Slaughter Sect were also participating in this siege of Qingfeng Manor, then all bets were off.

They feared that even if Qingfeng Manor’s Old Master broke through to the Leakless Realm, he might not face certain death, but he probably wouldn’t come out ahead against the Blood Evil demons.

And how could they, the group of people invited to guard the manor, escape unscathed?

"I ran into one."

Wu Chen knew the commotion he had caused in the mountains earlier had frightened everyone. He said nonchalantly, "But you can all rest assured."

"I’ve already killed that demon. There shouldn’t be any other Blood Evil demons in the mountains."

"Young friend, what amazing skill! Truly impressive!"

Hearing him say this, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly praised him.

But looking at Wu Chen’s indifferent tone and his expression that suggested it was nothing to be concerned about, it felt as though killing a Blood Coagulation Realm Blood Evil Elder was no different to him than crushing an ant.

However, he had returned safely without a single injury, and the Blood Evil demon from the forest hadn’t pursued him. All of this proved that the young man was telling the truth.

In other words, the Blood Evil demon who had used that shockingly powerful saber technique was killed in a single exchange!

Everyone’s heart pounded. It was clear that Qingfeng Manor had struck gold.

In any case, with such a powerful person on their side, they were sure that even if there were other Blood Evil demons in the forest, they would never be able to get past this section of the wall with this young man’s abilities.

Their anxious hearts settled considerably.

Seeing the young man’s "don’t come near me" expression, the people stationed on the wall didn’t try to talk to him further, their gazes turning toward the forest outside the walls.

’Aren’t these people going to make a move yet?’

Wu Chen’s gaze also turned to the forest outside the manor, watching for any movement in the surrounding woods.

He had learned previously that breaking through from the Perfection stage of the Blood Coagulation Realm to the Leakless Realm took about ten days.

If one’s talent was exceptional, allowing their body’s Qi and Blood to merge with their source, the time required would be even shorter.

Moreover, Qingfeng Manor’s Old Master had probably entered seclusion several days ago, meaning the time they needed to stand guard would be even shorter.

Of course, the villains outside the manor didn’t know any of this.

’They’re probably waiting for the most critical moment, right?’

’But it’s a pity for you that you’ve run into me. The more you wait for that final, critical moment to strike, the harder it will be to succeed...’

Wu Chen glanced at his constantly flickering panel. He estimated that before nightfall, the two Blood Coagulation Realm Martial Arts on it would finish upgrading.

By then, he would become an Eighth Layer Blood Coagulation Realm existence.

He would only be two Blood Coagulation Realm Martial Arts away from the Leakless Realm.

Wu Chen mused to himself:

’My physique has "Body Like Adamant Rock," my stamina is "Endless Qi Power," my strength is "Rampaging Bull Shakes the Earth," and my aura is "Vast Qi Nurturing Art: Intent."’

’I can’t say every level of my skin, flesh, sinews, and bones has been polished to perfection, but I’m definitely beyond comparison to any ordinary martial artist.’

’So with my current strength, I should be able to go head-to-head with a Leakless Realm expert without much trouble, right?’

So Wu Chen thought, but then he shook his head.

The higher the realm, the stranger and more unpredictable the techniques became. Even at the same realm, the gap in power could be a thousand-fold.

This was especially true for those with deep foundations, like sects and clans.

The ’Blood-Absorbing Demon Skill,’ which he had tortured out of that black-robed Elder from the Blood Slaughter Sect, had left a particularly deep impression on Wu Chen.

For instance, he had never imagined before that one could steal another’s source to maintain inexhaustible energy and remain in a peak combat state.

Putting aside its drawbacks for a moment, its terrifying effectiveness in combat alone was enough to place it far ahead of most other Cultivation Techniques.

’Unfortunately, this Demon Skill has a flaw.’

Wu Chen hadn’t used this Blood-Absorbing Demon Skill yet, but he could clearly sense that this method of stealing one’s source couldn’t be done on a living person.

Just like those two black-robed Elders, it could only be used on people who had just died.

Presumably, extracting the source from a living person was no easy task.

’I just don’t know if this divine technique can be upgraded after I enter the Leakless Realm.’

Wu Chen mused, smacking his lips. After all, it was understandable that he couldn’t extract it from someone of equal strength, but it should be easier when a higher realm practitioner was crushing someone from a lower realm.

Although he thought this, he had no intention of using this Cultivation Technique at this juncture.

For one, there were too many prying eyes, and there were clearly many knowledgeable people around who could easily be thrown into a panic.

For another, during his trip to the forest just now, he had discovered that these villains weren’t very strong. They weren’t powerful enough to force him to use a Demon Skill to maintain his stamina.

Just like before, with one slash of the Blood Evil Saber Art, the enemy had all fallen before he had even used up a single drop of his source.

However, Wu Chen also knew that even though his panel upgrades weren’t complete, with his current strength, he could easily charge out of the forest. No one could stop him.

But since he had taken three Blood Coagulation Realm Martial Arts from the manor, he still planned to complete his mission to guard the post.

He figured that after repelling this gathering of villains, Qingfeng Manor’s subsequent reward would be quite generous.

’But this old codger won’t just turn on me and refuse to acknowledge our deal after he breaks through to the Leakless Realm, will he?’

Wu Chen didn’t expect some noble gesture like "the one who breaks through first helps others break through later." As long as the man peacefully handed over the subsequent reward, he would consider him to have integrity.

Of course, if the man tried to use his new realm to go back on his word, Wu Chen wouldn’t mind sending him to his death.

After all, he had a set of Blood Slaughter Sect Cultivation Techniques and a Disguise Skill.

Even if he slaughtered the Old Manor Lord of Qingfeng Manor, the outside world would just assume it was the work of a Blood Evil demon.

"..."

As he was lost in thought, the sky unknowingly darkened.

Within Qingfeng Manor, torches were lit only along a few main thoroughfares for illumination. The other areas remained pitch-black.

After all, in the dim twilight, lighting torches everywhere would be no different than turning the manor’s defenders into living targets.

In truth, it was still early in the evening.

But since the manor was nestled between mountains, the scenery grew dim as soon as the sun began to dip west.

Everything became hazy and oppressive. Aside from the sound of breathing, there was no other noise. The eyes of everyone stationed on the manor wall were fixed intently on the world outside.

They were on guard against the enemy’s attack.

WHOOOO WHOOOO—

However, this silence did not last long. A sharp whistling sound echoed from a mountain peak outside the manor.
