Chapter 81: Lamp of Passion

Surprisingly, Ding Bo had avoided the spider silk net, his shorter height leaving him free. The boy rolled underneath the outer edge of it and started running. The flames only catching his heels as he dashed away from the cliff and entered the woods.

At this point, Sage had just finished his slaughter and looked over to see a round object spin into the air, leaving a brilliant red swirl in the air. Ding Bos head tumbled to the ground, having caught the attention of the Chameleon Mantis. Its bladed forearms were the size of sabres and with its camouflage, the villain never saw it coming.

Sage realized the Mantis was the most cunning of his Spirit Insects when left to its own devices. He had combined two very efficient ambush predators and it seemed to work out just right. After traveling so far down the river he was pretty sure the Demonic Plant was left far behind now, so he took his time checking the possessions of the ten dead. He found storage bags with spirit stones and low level pills. He even shook his head when he saw Su Rus storage bag. There was easily a hundred different types of poisons. What a treacherous woman.

He even found a skill scroll in her bag and when he saw the name on it, he didnt dare to touch it. The Thousand Poison Pamphlet. Sage was glad it was already within the storage bag so he didnt have to touch it or even let it enter the air. As a clan who handled so many poisonous insects, Sage had learned many things to be wary of when he was back in the Lang Clan. With this in mind he didnt even give Su Ru or Ding Bo a thorough search, immediately burning their bodies from a distance after taking their storage bags. He checked the others carefully and found that Du Hou had an extra storage bag that was hidden under his shirt. He considered giving them a proper burial, but he didnt want to get caught in this battlefield, there was no telling what the Earthdawn Sect or Ding Family might do in retaliation if they learned of this event.

Sage hurriedly put the weird object away and shook his head. It seemed this world wasnt all that much different than his old one. There was people here that would pay thousands of spirit stones for sexual aids. Just like they spent millions upon millions to research drugs back on earth for the same thing. At least it seems to be worth a good bit of money.

The techniques were low level and as Sage read them he was disappointed to realize that they were about the same level of quality as the techniques hed already learned. It wasnt that he was sad to make gains, it just pointed out the sad state of his own abilities. While hed been fortunate enough to find a few very powerful and versatile techniques, he was severely lacking in the most basic techniques.

Qi Cultivation Techniques were the foundation for a Cultivator. Sage had started with the Mantis Heart Manual, which at the time he thought was amazing. Later he realized it was merely a low level technique created to rapidly train hordes of infantry with no glaring weaknesses. He had attempted to learn a half-dozen other different manuals before he found out about innate affinities and finally purchased Verdant Firebrand from his Sect. Even then, Verdant Firebrand wasnt that powerful of a technique, it was simply the most suited to his needs that he could find. He had an Innate Wood affinity to his Qi, but he required the use of Flame in order to practice many of his professions. At the time it had saved him thousands of spirit stones and contribution points by being able to use his own internal flame instead of renting access to fire sources or fire stones.

The same sorts of problems were present with his Qi Techniques and Martial Arts. The only techniques Sage knew that werent low ranked were Anima Print, Divine Breath, and the Immortal Insect Index. None of them were even directly combat techniques, but supporting techniques with combat uses. Anima Print was a foundation carving technique, Divine Breath gave him great versatility in combat, and it was needless to talk more about the Insect Immortal Index. While they were formidable, his own direct combat prowess was lacking. His body was strong after his combination with the Serpent, but he didnt have any suitable combat techniques, nor did he know where to get any that could be compatible with his unusual physique.

Always more problems to solve.The roots of this story extend from novell bìn origin.
