Cultivation through Skin Making novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32: 32. Great chaos!

In the blink of an eye, winter had arrived again.

During this time, Song Yan attempted more than once to gain more information from Senior Brother Zhang about the North and the "Great Wei Remnants," yet Senior Brother Zhang paid it no mind, merely saying things like, "If the sky collapses, the Five Great Peaks’ Masters will hold it up, what do the Great Wei Remnants count for?"

That day, Wang Susu also keenly sensed Song Yan’s worries and comforted him, "Junior Brother, you’ve always been obsessed with Skin Making and haven’t interacted much with our fellow disciples, so you might not be aware of how vast our Puppet Palace is. Even if the Multi-tailed Fox Race truly arrives, what’s the problem?"

Song Yan nodded in agreement.

Perhaps he really was overthinking things.

He needed to keep a calm mindset.

However, information did remain his weak point.

All he could do was keep his ears open, while Wang Susu, being an "all-around social butterfly type of demoness," naturally grasped more.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Sister Wang, how is Qi Yao doing?"

Upon mentioning Qi Yao, Wang Susu’s charming eyes turned, and she spoke with a hint of jealousy, "She has already broken through to the first layer of Refining Profound, and because of her potential, she was accepted as an Inner Sect Disciple and went to attend lectures from our Shadow Puppet Peak’s Peak Master. She’s doing quite well."

Song Yan nodded without saying more, looking up at the sky.

Outside the window, the snow flew again, resembling last year’s.

The mountains have always been this way, and Cultivating Profound is even more monotonous.

"Sister, we should return to the Cave Mansion."

"Hmm, stop overthinking it," Wang Susu said, "You’ve been back from Linglong Valley for almost a year, and your Skin Making skills haven’t changed much since a year ago. You are always thinking too much, about everything.

How long has it been since that event? Can’t you let it go?"

Song Yan was taken aback.

This year, he controlled his Skin Making Skill, making little progress.

Firstly, it was to avoid those "two factions competing for the legacy."

He was interested in the legacy, after all, Master Shi, the first Skin Master of Shadow Puppet Peak, had dedicated his life to creating flawless Secret Techniques.

But that legacy obviously wasn’t his.

Secondly, it was to avoid Cheng Danqing’s recruiting.

For some reason, he always felt that Cheng Danqing had significant problems.

Indeed, this lack of progress also made Peak Master Cheng, who initially was enthusiastic and said, "You will be my person in the future, and you won’t regret it," lose interest in him.

Wang Susu saw him in a daze and thought her words might have touched a sensitive spot, so she said, "I know, a reprimand from an elder can harm you significantly, but it’s time to move on."

Song Yan regained his composure and said, "Thank you, Sister."

...

...

A moment later...

Inside the Cave Mansion.

Song Yan had not gathered energy today.

He generally did it periodically.

After sending away Lady Qiu and the Princess Consort, he sat alone on the stone bed in the master bedroom, cross-legged, regulating his breath.

He spent 440 years of lifespan easily cultivating 23 Jianghu Ultimate Techniques to Perfection.

Afterward, still unsatisfied, he purchased 9 more Jianghu Ultimate Techniques, but this time, it took him only 80 years to cultivate them all to Perfection.

Even if he were thrown into a place without Profound Qi, he could rely on his skills and terrifying Refining Profound Second Layer physique to become a formidable Jianghu elder.

In Jianghu, there exists "True Qi."

But this "True Qi" mainly relies on taking one deep breath, then using that breath to unleash power, compared to "Profound Qi," it falls far short.

Of course, his greatest acquisition was the "Turtle Breath Technique."

If the "Condensing Evil and Controlling Profound Technique" he perfected from twice-mutating "Qi Concealment Technique" can make him appear as an ordinary person by concealing all his Profound Qi...

Then, the "Turtle Breath Technique" can make others think he isn’t just ordinary, but a breathless ordinary person.

A breathless ordinary person is a dead person.

No one cares about the dead.

Numerous thoughts flashed by, Song Yan suddenly opened his eyes, aligning two fingers together and swiftly pointing outward.

The speed of this pointing was unimaginable, dreamlike, it was the "Sword Drawing Skill" from a swordsmanship master known as the "Purple Thunder Saber" in Jianghu, Song Yan practiced it to Perfection, naturally making his pointing as swift as drawing a saber;

Immediately, the near-dreamlike fingers reached further, with an extremely peculiar angle, and speed fluctuating, creating a most eerie feeling, this move is a Jianghu Ultimate Technique from the evil sect Blood Hand Sect ———— Slaughter Finger;

Upon reaching the farthest point, the hand suddenly flipped, transforming the finger into a palm, powerfully descending, it seemed to shift from being a venomous snake to a furious bear rising upright, this palm technique is the exclusive ultimate technique of the Nanshan Elder ———— Great Hand Seal.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

In the Cave Mansion, Song Yan’s hands, like magic, changed unpredictably, various Killing Techniques displayed themselves one by one on his body, more fluid and harmonious than ever.

Having completed the series of moves, Song Yan let out a long breath, lay quietly, looking at the falling snow outside the skylight, and slowly closed his eyes.

...

...

Several days later, at night, somehow, the great snow continued falling for several consecutive days, never stopping.

Song Yan held Lady Qiu with his left arm, the Princess Consort was on his right arm, sharing a single quilt, their six legs intertwined, they slept soundly.

Suddenly, the entire Cave Mansion shook abruptly.

Song Yan felt even his back was jolted, and the two women, frightened, immediately opened their eyes.

But it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

Boom!

Another shake.

The Cave Mansion shivered, if it weren’t situated above the remnants of a Profound Vein, the rocks might have tumbled long ago.

"Song Lang, what happened?"
