Detective Conan: Birth of the Demon Child

┐??┌

Who can blame them for being so perfectly suited to the Transparent World and the Nine Swords of Dugu?

The two complement each other, just like an 8x scope and a sniper rifle; once combined, they unleash terrifying power!

Noticing Wei Zhuang's slightly trembling hands, Suzuki Seimei couldn't help but step forward, pat his arm, and ask, "Big brother, are you alright?"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in as Wei Zhuang. You are rewarded with a complete set of the Great Mastery Guigu Breathing Technique. You can claim it at any time."

Upon hearing the system notification in his ear, a glint flashed in Suzuki Seimei's eyes.

The Guigu Breathing Technique is one of the core internal energy techniques of the Guigu School. Although the name sounds simple, it is one of the most advanced internal energy cultivation methods in the world.

Guigu breathing techniques are somewhat similar to Taoist internal energy cultivation, emphasizing balance and tranquility.

The innate true qi cultivated using this technique is not only purer than that refined by ordinary innate techniques, but its recovery speed is also very fast, allowing it to sustain combat for a long time.

In addition, Guigu breathing techniques also have the remarkable effects of promoting injury recovery and resisting various poisons.

Just then, Suzuki Seimei also felt that the Zixia Divine Skill and the Star Absorbing Technique were no longer keeping up with the pace of his own strength improvement, so he could directly switch to the Ghost Valley Breathing Technique, a top-level internal energy cultivation method.

"I'm fine."

Distracted by Suzuki Seimei, Wei Zhuang gradually snapped out of his existential daze, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

To be honest, Wei Zhuang is not the kind of person who can't stand losing. Back when he was in the Ghost Valley School, he would spar with Gai Nie almost every day, and losing to Gai Nie in sword fights was a common occurrence.

However, being instantly killed by the child Suzuki Seimei with a single sword strike still had a huge impact on Wei Zhuang.

If Wei Zhuang hadn't been used to being beaten down by Gai Nie, which had already forged his indomitable sword heart, he probably would have been driven to despair and never recovered.

Recalling the sword strike Suzuki Seimei had just unleashed, Wei Zhuang couldn't help but exclaim, "Sword Demon! What a demon among swords!"

Even Suzuki Seimei, a mere child, almost shattered his own sword heart with a single strike after mastering the Dugu Nine Swords. One can only imagine how terrifying Dugu Qiubai, the creator of the Dugu Nine Swords, must have been.

It is indeed a fortunate thing to be born in the same era as a peerless swordsman like Dugu Qiubai.

However, for the sword prodigies of the same era, wasn't that also a kind of tragedy?

Just from the title "Sword Demon," Wei Zhuang could imagine how the sword prodigies of his time were beaten to the point of doubt and collapse of their sword hearts by Dugu Qiubai alone with his sword.

Seeing Wei Zhuang regain his spirits, Suzuki Seimei breathed a sigh of relief and then took Zi Nu's hand, saying, "Sister Zi Nu, what auction are you going to attend tonight? Can I come along? I want to go too!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take you with me."

Recovering from her shock, Murasaki looked at Suzuki Seimei with a somewhat complicated expression, then smiled and patted his head.

When Zi Nu first met Suzuki Seimei, she thought he was some landlord's foolish son.

However, as she got to know Suzuki Seimei better, Murasaki changed her mind and guessed that he might be a young master from a reclusive family.

Now that Zi Nu has witnessed Suzuki Seimei display such amazing swordsmanship, she feels that he is shrouded in a mysterious aura, and has an urge to further explore his secrets.

As the saying goes, when a woman becomes curious about a man, it often means the beginning of her descent into infatuation.

Although Suzuki Seimei looks like a child, he can transform into a tall and mighty man, so it was only a matter of time before he conquered Murasaki.

Because Zilanxuan is only open at night, it is very quiet during the day.

After leaving Wei Zhuang's room, Suzuki Seimei found an empty guest room and began to fully circulate the Ghost Valley Breathing Technique to refine the pure internal energy within his body.

As expected of the Guigu School's core internal skill, the Guigu Breathing Technique allowed Suzuki Seimei to refine all the pure internal energy in his body into innate true qi in just half a day.

Through the refinement of Guigu breathing techniques, Suzuki Seimei's more than two hundred years of pure internal energy was finally transformed into twenty years of innate true energy.

Although twenty years of innate true qi may not sound like much, the power unleashed when using innate true qi to perform martial arts techniques far exceeds that of pure internal energy.

For example, the Seven-String Invisible Sword, a special sonic martial art, can only resonate with the target's internal energy if activated by internal force, thus causing a backlash from the target's internal energy. However, it is completely harmless to ordinary people.

If one uses innate true energy to activate the Seven-String Invisible Sword, it can not only cause a violent backlash of the innate true energy within the target's body, but also directly condense invisible sound waves to attack the target.

The reason for this is that the innate true energy within a martial artist's body can resonate with the power of heaven and earth within a certain range, thereby enhancing the power of martial arts techniques.

"Da da da"

As night slowly fell, several luxurious carriages from various countries stopped one after another in front of the Qianlong Hall.

Qianlong Hall is a branch of the Farmer Clan, mainly responsible for the Farmer Clan's transactions within Korea, as well as collecting important intelligence within Korea.

In order to expand his network of contacts, Situ Wanli, the current head of Qianlong Hall, tries to organize a high-quality trade fair every now and then to attract high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

The trade fair that Qianlong Hall is holding tonight is a small-scale barter trade fair.

Although there were only six guests invited to the trade fair, each of them was someone of considerable importance.

Besides Zi Nu, the remaining five guests were: Han Fei, Prince Dan of Yan, Lord Yan Chun, Jing Ke, and Touman Chanyu.

The reason Suzuki Seimei accompanied Zi Nu to the trade fair tonight was because he knew that Jing Ke and Yan Dan would also be attending.

Yan Dan and Jing Ke are probably no weaker than Wei Zhuang, and we should be able to get some good rewards from them.

When Suzuki Seimei and Murasaki arrived at the Hidden Dragon Hall, the other five guests had already arrived. Led by a maid, the two entered the private room of the Ji Pavilion.

"Da da da"

Not long after Suzuki Seimei and his group entered the Ji Pavilion, Situ Wanli, dressed in fine silk robes and with black and white hair, walked to the center of the hall with a smile on his face.

"Welcome to Qianlong Hall, everyone. Today, we've all brought our rare and precious treasures. Let's barter, exchange items, help each other, and make friends!"

Situ Wanli cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, then walked to the six treasures covered in silk and slowly lifted the silk cloth covering the first treasure: "This Panlong Cauldron is a treasure brought by a guest from Jiazi Pavilion."

As Situ Wanli lifted the silk curtain, a square cauldron cast in brass and decorated with dragon patterns appeared before everyone.

The guest at Jiazi Pavilion was none other than Touman Chanyu, who had a fierce appearance and stood out from the crowd with his Mediterranean hairstyle.

Because the seven states were not yet unified, the Xiongnu people's only enemy was the Qin state. They were not hostile to the other six states, but rather had a relationship similar to that of allies, and the two sides had carried out a lot of trade.

As the saying goes: The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

The stronger the Xiongnu became, the more troubled the neighboring Qin state would be. Therefore, the six states were eager for them to become stronger so as to tie down more of Qin's military power.

"The guests from Yizi Pavilion have brought a pair of jade bracelets."

Situ Wanli cupped his hands in greeting to Yan Dan, then lifted the silk cloth covering the second treasure, revealing a pair of exquisite bracelets inlaid with rubies.

"The guests from Bingzi Pavilion have brought three Xuanjing arrowheads."

After glancing at the three arrows that reflected a cold glint, Suzuki Seimei turned his head toward the direction of Pavilion C, where the guest sitting inside was none other than the seemingly cynical Jing Ke.

"The guest from Dingzi Pavilion has brought a precious sword."

Situ Wanli casually introduced the gifts brought by Yan Chunjun, and then excitedly lifted the silk cloth covering the fifth treasure: "The treasures brought by the guests of Wuzi Pavilion are extraordinary. It is said that when the finest wine is poured into the vessel, the blue sea will be stirred up."

Both Jing Ke and Yan Chunjun showed great interest as they gazed at the wine vessel, carved from jade and inlaid with red coral.

"And what's inside this simple-looking box is the treasure brought by the last distinguished guest."

After Situ Wanli finished speaking, he lifted the silk cloth covering the last treasure, revealing an ancient wooden box.

"what?"

Upon seeing the strangely shaped wooden box, Yan Dan couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Because Yan Dan was skilled in mechanical arts, he immediately recognized the wooden box as a mechanical box upon seeing it.

"To exchange for my treasure, there is one condition: the box cannot be opened before the exchange."

Murasaki, who was feeding Suzuki Seimei some snacks, suddenly parted her jade lips and said, "My treasures are selective about their masters. For some people, they are priceless, while for others, they may be worthless."

"interesting"

Upon hearing this, Han Fei stared at the ancient-looking mechanical box, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Playing mysterious!"

Yan Chunjun said with a displeased look, "I don't think you have any treasure at all. You're just trying to fool people with a broken box."

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was drawn to the Purple Maiden, Suzuki Seimei secretly activated his Eye Concealment skill.

A leaf can obscure the view of Mount Tai!

Chapter 600 Non-Aggressive Mechanisms (First Update, Please Vote)

Due to the visual interference of the Eye Concealment skill, everyone could only see the illusion of Suzuki Seimei remaining next to Murasaki, but they did not realize that he had already walked to Situ Wanli's side.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Situ Wanli. You are rewarded with four years of innate true qi, which you can claim at any time."

Suzuki Seimei raised his small hand and waved it gently, the force so light it was like a breeze brushing against Situ Wanli's legs, without arousing any suspicion from him.

After successfully obtaining the sign-in reward from Situ Wanli, Suzuki Seimei followed suit, quietly approaching Yan Dan and the others and gently touching their bodies.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Yan Chunjun. You are rewarded with five years of lifespan, which you can claim at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Touman Chanyu. You are rewarded with 3 strength points, which you can claim at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Han Fei. You are rewarded with 10 points of mental energy, which you can claim at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in to Yan Dan. You are rewarded with a Master-level Non-Aggression Mechanism Technique, which you can claim at any time."

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully signing in as Jing Ke. You are rewarded with a Master-level Five-Step Killing Technique. You can claim it at any time."

Hearing the system notifications ringing in his ears, Suzuki Seimei returned to Murasaki's side with satisfaction.

The rewards such as innate true qi and attribute values ​​naturally need no further explanation.

What particularly interested Suzuki Seimei were the two skill books he obtained from Yan Dan and Jing Ke.

Among them, the Five-Step Killing Technique was Jing Ke's unique skill, known as "within five steps, a hundred men cannot withstand him".

The Five-Step Kill and Thunder Breathing are very similar, both pursuing ultimate speed as their killing moves.

However, since Suzuki Seimei had already mastered the perfected Thunder Breathing, there was no need for him to master the advanced Five Steps of the Ultimate Technique, so he temporarily put the skill book away.

Suzuki Seimei immediately chose to use the advanced-level non-offensive mechanical technique skill book he obtained from Yan Dan.

"Boom!"

A memory of non-offensive mechanical techniques suddenly appeared in Suzuki Seimei's mind and quickly merged into his memory.
