Chapter 449: Chapter 462: Soul Absorption Technique"This knife isn’t bad, and this claw, you can use it too," Mu Can took a liking to two treasures at that moment. A long knife, a pair of claws. The long knife was crystal clear as if made of jade, its hardness only perceptible when held in hand, and its edge was so sharp that Mu Can even felt like it could slice through space. "Can I use it?" Upon hearing there was a treasure he could use, Wang Cai dropped the treasure he was holding and examined the pair of claws in Mu Can’s hands. "Indeed, such a miraculous treasure." Holding the claws, Mu Can noticed something extraordinary about them — they could change shape according to the size of the palm, and more importantly, the front part of the claws could retract and extend freely like a kitten’s paws. "You don’t have a weapon that suits you, so let’s go with these two, they should have the highest cost-performance ratio," Mu Can stated. Wang Cai, of course, had no objections, feeling quite fond of the claws, fiddling with them nonstop in his hands. After paying with Divine Crystals, Mu Can picked up the long knife and swung it lightly a couple of times. The knife could actually tear through space. "This knife is at least a Void Level treasure, and it’s very likely that its creator was at the Void Level too, even nourishing the knife with his Lifebound Spiritual Power," Dongfeng Shuo had a discerning eye. Upon seeing Mu Can swing the knife, leaving behind faint black traces in the air – small rifts caused by tearing through the space – he immediately recognized the preciousness of the long knife. "Oh." Mu Can was surprisingly calm, feeling that the knife should be good, but whether it was at the Void Level didn’t really matter to him. The enemies he would face in the future would include mere soldiers at the Void Level, so this knife wouldn’t change much. "Aren’t you at all excited?" asked Dongfeng Shuo curiously. Although he knew a part of Mu Can’s background, he couldn’t understand why Mu Can was so composed after obtaining such a precious blade. "Hmph." Donghuang snorted coldly, thinking that Mu Can was just bluffing, not knowing whether he was actually smiling on the inside or not. "No, I was just thinking about something. Let’s move on," said Mu Can. Wang Cai played with his new weapon on the side, also looking very happy. "The person who designed this weapon is absolutely a genius," Wang Cai exclaimed in praise. It’s likely that the designer of these claws never imagined that one day his creation would be used by a dog. ... Fighting together was at least three times faster than fighting alone. It didn’t take long for the four people and one dog to reach the 70th floor of the Reincarnation Pearl. The pressure started to slowly build up. The Gatekeeper they just passed in the 70th floor was like a destroyer of worlds, the old man with a beard carrying nine longswords on his back had sentient swords, one thought to control the Nine Swords, facing the four of them without the slightest fear, even putting several of them at a disadvantage. If it weren’t for the Sword Cultivator Wang Cheng who, at the last moment, comprehended the Sword Dao and restricted one of the enemy’s swords dead in its tracks, creating a flaw in the sword formation, Mu Can and the others would have probably needed to struggle even more to win. "Thirty more floors, the difficulty will increase," said Mu Can, looking at the fragments on the ground with helpless resignation. This master of the Three Realms is simply a big pervert, every time designing such difficult challenges. Mu Can knew that if it were not for the four of them teaming up to get here, relying on individual strength alone, there would be no hope of reaching this level, not to mention the dozens of levels to come. "This is for you." Wang Cai picked up a Divine Crystal left on the ground after the old swordsman vanished and handed it to Donghuang. "Thank you," Donghuang said softly. "What did you say? I didn’t hear you, did you say thank you?" Wang Cai laughed loudly. "This guy actually knows how to say thank you?" Wang Cai looked towards Mu Can, laughing merrily. "Get lost..." Donghuang, blushing with anger, blurted out a "get lost". "You don’t have to thank me, you should thank heaven, thank earth, thank every one of them," said Wang Cai seriously. "Come back, Wang Cai." Seeing Wang Cai’s impish behavior, Mu Can couldn’t stand it any longer and quickly called him back. Wang Cai scurried back, his thick lips couldn’t be pressed together, showing a mouth full of white teeth. "Let’s see if there’s anything to exchange?" After the intense battle, Mu Can was also quite tired. He took the opportunity to go and see if there was anything new at Gabriel’s place. "What’s this? A Secret Manual." Mu Can picked up a book with a yellowed exterior. "’Soul Absorption Technique’, what’s this? How much is it, wow, actually 20 Divine Crystals." Mu Can was startled but still held the book in his hand. "Let me see, what is this thing, why is it so expensive?" Wang Cai came over and asked. "How many Divine Crystals do we still have?" The task of fighting was left to the four of them, and Wang Cai was responsible for managing the Spirit Crystals; even Mu Can’s Spirit Crystals were kept with Wang Cai. "There are still 15 Divine Crystals left, you can’t possibly be thinking of exchanging them for this Secret Manual, right? 20 Divine Crystals, that’s enough for you to exchange for two Void Level weapons." Wang Cai looked incredulous. The reason they had 15 Divine Crystals was because sometimes the enemies they encountered in the subsequent battles left behind more than one Divine Crystal. Otherwise, even if each floor left behind a single Divine Crystal, it wouldn’t be enough for them to share. "I feel that it would be impossible to advance any further without this Secret Manual." Without hesitation, Mu Can contemplated how to obtain another 5 Divine Crystals. "Big Brother Mu Can, use mine." Wang Cheng walked over and handed all his Divine Crystals to Mu Can. He had previously exchanged Divine Crystals for a Void Scripture longsword, and now he had only six Divine Crystals left, all of which he handed over to Mu Can. "I’ll return them to you later," Mu Can said as he took the Divine Crystals and nodded. Wang Cheng was indeed a reliable person. The value of a Void Level weapon in the Three Realms was self-evident. If Xuanyuan Mingkong had such a weapon, he could have directly killed the Anxi Demon Venerable on the spot within the Demon Array. Almost everyone was willing to spend all their wealth to exchange for a Void Level weapon. Six Divine Crystals meant that if they climbed a few more floors, they could directly exchange for another Void Level weapon. "Don’t worry, I’ll give them back to you soon," said Mu Can as he handed the Divine Crystals to Gabriel. After handing over the Divine Crystals, Mu Can found that the prohibitions on the Secret Manual simply disappeared. As he flipped through the Secret Manual, even with Mu Can’s composure, he couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. "What is it? What’s written inside?" Wang Cai hurriedly leaned in next to Mu Can, eager to peek at the book. Hearing Mu Can’s exclamation, both Donghuang and Dongfeng Shuo craned their necks to see what was happening here. Given their understanding of Mu Can, under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t lose his cool even at the sight of a Void Level weapon. They wondered what exactly was recorded in the book that made him react so strongly. "As I thought." Mu Can finished reviewing the Secret Manual and burst out laughing. Now he finally understood the greatest purpose of this tower, and why back then his brother insisted that he could only make a breakthrough after reaching this spot. The "Soul Absorption Technique," despite its common-sounding name, contained exactly what Mu Can needed at the moment. "What exactly is it?" Wang Cai looked at Mu Can with a puzzled face. Maybe this kid really went crazy from anger after buying a useless thing with 20 Divine Crystals. "Watch this," Mu Can took out the last remaining Divine Crystal in his hand and laid it in his palm. Under the watchful eyes of the three people and one dog, the Divine Crystal quietly lay in the center of Mu Can’s palm. "What are we watching? Isn’t this just a Divine Crystal? Don’t tell me you can turn it into two?" said Wang Cai. Mu Can almost wanted to smash the Divine Crystal on Wang Cai’s head. This dog really had a unique way of thinking. "Look closely, this book is called ’Soul Absorption Technique,’ haven’t you thought of anything yet?" Mu Can scolded. "Holy crap, it’s shrinking, what did you do to the Divine Crystal?" Wang Cai widened his eyes in shock, staring at the Spirit Crystal in Mu Can’s palm. "It really shrank, ’Soul Absorption Technique,’ could it be a method for absorbing the Spiritual Power within Divine Crystals?" Despite Dongfeng Shuo being the oldest, his thoughts reacted the quickest among them. "Damn it." Donghuang cursed. They could all feel the massive amount of Spiritual Power contained within these Divine Crystals and had tried various methods, but none were able to absorb this Spiritual Power into their bodies. Thus, they only saw these Divine Crystals as tokens for exchanging rewards, never thinking of utilizing the energy within the Divine Crystals. "Quick, let me learn it," Dongfeng Shuo shouted, but then felt it was a bit abrupt when he looked at Mu Can. "I’ll pay, ten Divine Crystals, just to take a look," Dongfeng Shuo continued. This technique, once Mu Can had learned it, it would be useless for him, so it would be better to pay ten Divine Crystals to learn it himself. "I’ll pay too, I want to learn as well," Donghuang also raised his voice. With this Cultivation Technique, after absorbing enough Divine Crystals, they would definitely be able to reach the final floor of the Sky Tower. "Wang Cheng, you learn first, it’s simple," Mu Can thought for a while and handed the Secret Manual to Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng felt as if he wasn’t receiving a Secret Manual, but a world so heavy. "Hurry up and learn, don’t just stand there," Mu Can said, seeing Wang Cheng looking bashful. "You two can also learn, but you can’t skimp on the Divine Crystals," Mu Can looked at Dongfeng Shuo and Donghuang. "This guy can learn too? He has to pay 20 Divine Crystals," Wang Cai said, looking at Donghuang with displeasure. "Ten will do, then all of you follow me back to the first floor, let’s run through it all over again," Mu Can had already made up his mind.
