Chapter 121: Another Heavenly Mandate Promotion
Chapter 121: Another Heavenly Mandate Promotion
Autumn Frost revealed the location of her hidden treasure, her mind already made up.
But as she spoke, Su Chen had already taken action, untying her clothes.
Her jade-like skin was indeed captivating.
Su Chen thought he had decent morals, but he couldn't help but sneak a few glances.
As the late afternoon approached, the sky darkened, and they had to hurry.
[Skillful Hands] Heavenly Mandate activated.
[Demon Hunter Extraordinaire] Heavenly Mandate activated, enhancing his eyesight and providing some assistance.
While Autumn Frost continued talking about giving up, Su Chen had already started working.
The two extremely sharp wooden sticks began to extract the venom needles.
Without the [Skillful Hands] Heavenly Mandate, facing these venom needles would likely leave him helpless.
The needles were too smooth, and his skills were inadequate, making it truly challenging to remove them.
Starting with the less deeply embedded needles, he gradually moved on to the more difficult ones.
After extracting ten needles, Su Chen's forehead was covered in sweat.
This was not an easy task.
During this process of removing the needles, a line of small words appeared before his eyes.
[Exquisite and Proficient, Delicate and Agile, A Pair of Skillful Hands Forge the World, Heavenly Mandate Promotion: Master Craftsmen]
[Master Craftsmen: Enhances hand agility, improves skill mastery efficiency, and allows for the simple identification of some errors]
The [Skillful Hands] Heavenly Mandate was promoted at this moment.
Activating the [Master Craftsmen] Heavenly Mandate, Su Chen once again attempted to remove the venom needles.
The previously challenging task seemed to become easier and simpler.
The incredibly smooth venom needles no longer felt as slippery.
The entire process became much simpler.
For the deeper needles, Su Chen pressed down with one hand.
As soon as the needles poked out, he could directly extract them.
It was much easier, but Su Chen still spent a considerable amount of time.
By late afternoon, he finally removed all the needles.
At this moment, Autumn Frost was already a bit dazed, the poison had left her extremely weak, and she had fainted.
After cleaning the needles, Su Chen redressed her.
It was impossible not to have some emotional turmoil.
Autumn Frost was still quite beautiful.
But at times like this, one must uphold their morals.
As Autumn Frost rested, Su Chen left the cliff and surveyed the surroundings.
It was late afternoon, the sun had set, and darkness was approaching.
The cliff seemed relatively safe for now.
Su Chen did not set up any other traps.
These traps might be useful against lesser and greater demons, but they were less effective against golden demons and above.
More importantly, these traps might even provide clues to the heavenly demons.
The heavenly demons, with their awakened intelligence, could discover the traps and guess their purpose.
On the west side, the earth demons that had been lying in ambush were still persistent.
The heavenly demon was truly determined not to let Autumn Frost go.
This situation made it difficult even for Su Chen to escape.
Not to mention, he had a weak and injured companion.
Before nightfall, Su Chen returned to the cliff.
Without lighting a fire, he merged into the darkness.
Su Chen was filled with curiosity about the senior cultivator beside him.
When she saved him, she displayed power equivalent to the Fourth Rank Transformation, a strength capable of challenging heavenly demons.
Yet, this time, she was injured by an earth demon.
In Yunyang Sect and Tiangang City, such power was only possessed by elders and grandmasters.
How did such a powerful cultivator end up in this situation?
Su Chen shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it further.
The secrets surrounding these powerful cultivators were numerous.
If one were to ask further, the questions would never end.
In a moment of hesitation, Su Chen also closed his eyes to rest.
With the blessing of an indomitable destiny, his physical recovery was much faster than others.
The night passed peacefully, and they were not discovered by the heavenly demons.
Su Chen's stomach also began to rumble, and he took out his dry bread and ate it with water.
Beside him, Qiu Ruosuang, whose face had been deathly pale, was clearly recovering.
Her lips seemed to regain some color, no longer as deathly pale as before.
At mid-morning, Qiu Ruosuang woke up slowly.
Looking at Su Chen beside her, she felt a little dazed.
Her mind replayed the events before she fainted.
At that time, Qiu Ruosuang felt that her life was about to end.
But she never expected to wake up again.
"Senior, you're injured, you should eat something.
I only have this dry bread."
Looking at what Su Chen handed her, Qiu Ruosuang, for some reason, found the dry bread to be incredibly fragrant.
She was so hungry that even this food seemed delicious.
Taking the dry bread, Qiu Ruosuang took a bite.
She gently moved her body, and the stinging pain seemed to have disappeared.
"The venomous needle in my body..."
"It was removed yesterday, and all the venomous needles are over there, piled up on that rock."
Su Chen pointed to the corner, where tiny venomous needles were stacked on a stone.
Looking at the dense pile of venomous needles, Qiu Ruosuang couldn't believe it was real.
But her body was indeed recovering rapidly.
This couldn't be faked.
She tried to stand up, but the cave was too small, forcing her to bend over.
However, as she stood, Qiu Ruosuang was more certain that the venomous needle had been removed from her body.
After the venomous needle was removed, Qiu Ruosuang wasn't as worried about the remaining toxins in her body.
The toxins of the spiky boar demon required continuous exposure to take effect.
With the needle removed, the remaining toxins would dissipate with rest.
Of course, the main reason was that Qiu Ruosuang's strength was exceptional, and her physical resilience far surpassed that of ordinary people.
She didn't fear the toxins of the earthly demons as much.
Having survived a disaster, Qiu Ruosuang felt relieved.
She had originally thought that fate brought her to Su Chen so that she could bestow a treasure upon him before her death, making her his opportunity.
But now it seemed that Su Chen was her opportunity instead.
If she hadn't met Su Chen, she would have fallen into the hands of the heavenly demon long ago, enduring untold torment.
"Thank you."
Coming back to her senses, Qiu Ruosuang sincerely expressed her gratitude.
Su Chen smiled, "You saved me before, and today, I'm repaying the favor."
The person he had saved on a whim had now returned to save him.
Qiu Ruosuang, thinking of this, found it all quite miraculous.
"The heavenly demon is chasing me relentlessly, and you can probably guess that the treasure I'm hiding is of great value.
In fact, you can go and take that treasure."
Last night, after Qiu Ruosuang revealed the location of her hidden treasure, she never expected to survive.
If she died, Su Chen could rightfully claim the treasure.
He wouldn't even have to feel burdened, as it was a gift from Qiu Ruosuang herself.
But in the end, she survived.
"Now that you've recovered, you can go and retrieve that treasure."
Hearing Su Chen's straightforward response, Qiu Ruosuang fell silent for a long time.
"Thank you. My name is Qiu Ruosuang."
"My name is Su Chen, and I thank Senior Qiu again for saving my life that day."
After learning each other's names, the two became slightly more familiar.
Qiu Ruosuang was from the Great Jin Dynasty and had come here to seek the treasure of the heavenly demon.
