Chapter 17: Cicada Transforms into Dragon
Xiang Wentian’s death was just the beginning.

Su Qingren and Zhong Heyi were rushing around in the inn.

Puff puff!
It was like the sound of a water bag being popped.

Just now, the thugs who attacked Su Qing together with Xiang Wentian were either directly blown to pieces or had their limbs missing and were torn to pieces.

Fierce!

So cruel!

The people who hang around in Longmen Inn are all veterans of the battlefield and have never seen such a brutal scene.

For a moment, they all felt as if they were facing a great enemy.

Staring intently at Su Qing, who was standing in the bloody hell like a devil, he broke out in a cold sweat and felt a chill in his heart.

Su Qing didn't care about these.

He glanced at Qu Yang, who was shocked but remained calm. "Why didn't you make a move?"

"I'm determined to retire from the underworld, and my relationship with Xiang Wentian is just a partnership.

Xiang Wentian sought the Beiming Divine Art to make up for his own method of absorbing energy into the ground.

The so-called small method of absorbing energy into the ground is the incomplete method of absorbing stars taught by Ren Woxing.

The Star Absorbing Technique is a fragment of the Divine Art of the North Sea.

Just like this, once Xiang Wentian obtains the Beiming Divine Art and the method of absorbing energy into the ground, he will undergo an ultimate transformation.

As for me, it is for Dasheng Yiyin, one of the ten great guqins.

Xiang Wentian told me that the Great Saint's voice is found in the ruins of Blackwater City."

The legacy of the Guqin Great Sage?

The elder of the Demon Cult traveled to the desert just for a zither?
It all seems a bit ridiculous.

If it were someone else, Su Qing might not believe it.

Qu Yang?
Very credible.

In The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng, who suffered heavy losses in Liu's residence, met Linghu Chong on their deathbed.

Qu Yang once said this to Linghu Chong:

Because he was dissatisfied, Ji Kang claimed that after his death, "Guangling San will never be performed again."

He even dug up twenty-nine ancient tombs before the Jin Dynasty to look for the score of Guangling San, and finally found it in Cai Yong's tomb.

Qu Yang did this for Guangling San, and he could also do this for a famous musical instrument.

The way he entered the ruins of the Western Xia Black Water City was the same method used by the tomb raider.

"It seems that Xixia Blackwater City and the tomb raider are truly destined to be together!"

Su Qing secretly complained.

“I promise you that as long as you open up a stable passage in and out of the ruins of Xixia Blackwater City.

The Great Sage's legacy is yours."

As he spoke, he looked around, focusing on the many Jianghu people: “You don’t have to be afraid!
I won't kill you all.

However, if he wanted to survive, he had to help Qu Yang excavate the remains of the Western Xia Black Water City.

If you find Yipintang, I can still teach you martial arts!"

Su Qing said it well.

But I know that everything is just like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

Hundreds of years have passed since the fall of Western Xia, even if we find the Western Xia Yipintang.

The paper that recorded the martial arts had long since decayed.

After arranging everything, Su Qing went upstairs.

Su Huirong followed closely behind.

Su Qing glanced at Su Huirong and said, "With the divine artifact catalogue and the wealth of Xixia Blackwater City, is the Jinyiwei Qianhu stable?"

"Stable!"

……

gone!

Everyone went upstairs, and there was no one supervising?
Are they so confident in us? Many people were surprised.

Some people sneered:

"The Dragon Gate Inn is located in the desert. If there were no sandstorms, one could see miles away. Yu Huatian only needs to peek out the window occasionally. If he escapes, he will become a sitting duck.

If there is a sandstorm, he may not be able to see us escape.

However, it is difficult to tell the direction in the desert. If you travel in the wind and sand, you may get lost in the desert.

Even an experienced guide cannot carve out a new path through the vast desert."

As such, even without anyone supervising, the tomb robbing project continued in full swing.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

Because Su Qing came from an official background, he could mobilize soldiers from the nearby Longmen Pass, and the excavation speed was beyond imagination.

A large number of remains of the Western Xia Heishui City have been unearthed.

There is so much wealth in the Western Xia Imperial City.

All the camels and horses in the Dragon Gate Inn were requisitioned.

Even the soldiers under Xu Shan, the commander of Longmen Pass, were conscripted.

As for martial arts?

"As I suspected, Xixia Yipintang was found, but the martial arts manuals were turned to ashes before they were even touched.

In the past month, I have gained more than 700 skill points.

There are still more than 500 skill points to break through.

If nothing unexpected happens, I can transform into a dragon before I return to the capital!"

In the eyes of true masters, the martial arts realm is to refine the skin like iron, tendons like copper and bones like steel, blood like mercury slurry, and clothes like golden thread and jade. It also has another name, the cicada transformation realm.

What is cicada transformation?

When a cicada transforms from a larva into an adult, it sheds its larval shell, completing a vibration of life, a leap from crawling to flying.

As the name suggests, once the cicada transformation is completed, it will be like the transformation from a cicada larva to a cicada soaring in the sky.

In this process, the warrior will undergo an extreme transformation from the inside out.

After the transformation of the cicada, there are three levels of mastery: transformation into a dragon, celestial being, and all things.

"Once I transform into a dragon and unleash the fourfold all-around power of the dragon-elephant, how incredible will my strength become?"

There was anticipation in Su Qing's eyes.

He glanced at the large bow hanging on the camel that he had received from Wan Yulou, and he became thoughtful: "As the supervisor of the East Factory, Wan Yulou's status is only below that of the eunuch Cao Zhengchun, the seal-holding eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the pen-holding eunuch, and Liu Xi, the governor of the East Factory.

His bow definitely represents the top casting skills of the Capital's Divine Craftsmen.

However, due to my continuous and violent pulling, such a strong bow has been somewhat deformed and obviously cannot withstand my violent force.

Once I turn into a dragon, this bow will be useless.

Perhaps, after successfully returning to the capital to plan for the title of Qian Hu, I will need to go south to the Sword Forging Villa!"

The Sword-Forging Villa is a martial arts force with a long history.

The Song Dynasty already existed.

It is said that before the fall of Xiangyang City, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were loyal to their country and left behind anti-Yuan relics for future generations.

The heavy black iron sword that Yang Guo gave to Guo Xiang was combined with Western fine gold to forge the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword, and a copy of "Wu Mu's Testament" and a copy of "Nine Yin Scriptures" were hidden in the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Sword respectively.

The Sword of the Heavenly Conqueror contains the complete version of the "Nine Yin Scriptures", a quick version of the essence of the "Nine Yin" written by Huang Rong, and the "Essence of the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing", while the Dragon Slaying Sabre contains the "Wu Mu's Testament".

I hope that someone with destiny will obtain it, overthrow the Mongolian regime and restore the Song Dynasty.

To forge a magic weapon, you need not just forge iron casually.

Especially since the swords may need to be hollow because they contain iron pieces engraved with the Nine Yin Scriptures and Wu Mu's Testament, which puts even greater pressure on forging technology.

If you say that Guo Jing's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is unparalleled, no one will doubt it.

It is absolutely impossible that the honest Guo Jing could forge the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Saber into magical weapons by himself when the iron pieces were hidden in the hollow parts.

The Sword of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Blade were the work of the Sword Casting Villa.

"Perhaps, only at the Sword Forging Villa can a divine bow that matches my strength be forged."
