Transcending the Nine Heavens

“Ding!”

Li Tongtian's white jade teacup slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, shattering into three pieces.

At this moment, the supreme Li was staring with eyes as wide as copper bells, his breath quickening and his face flushed red!

Could it be easily explored for Amethyst mines?

Could they be easily mined?

This... isn't this the problem that has plagued our Li family for ten thousand years?

How... did this kid suddenly pop up and solve this age-old problem in one go?

Li Tongtian felt dizzy. The supreme beside him was no better off, staring with his mouth agape, big enough to fit two duck eggs.

A few soft sounds came from outside, revealing that the other four supremes, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't help but bump their heads against the tent.

“What happened?” Chu Yang asked in surprise.

“Uh, uh, nothing much.” Li Tongtian said somewhat awkwardly, then raised his head to look at Chu Yang, “This... Brother Zi! Just now, your statement... I’m a bit... not very clear about... cough, could you please explain?”

Chu Yang shook his head helplessly and said, “I know this is hard to believe.”

He forced a bitter smile, “But my family has refrained from appearing in the world because of this matter. We could only hide in the mountains; however, our bloodline is special, and to cultivate, we must rely on dragon vein energy.”

He extended his hand, “Look, Old Li.”

Li Tongtian hurriedly leaned in to take a closer look.

In Chu Yang's fair palm, as he circulated his energy, a clear purple line emerged!

This was pure purple! The purest purple in the world!

At this moment, Li Tongtian had already determined that in his entire life, he had never seen such pure and majestic purple!

Among all colors... this is the true king!

Moreover, Li Tongtian could tell that this purity was emanating from the bloodline! It was absolutely not some trickery or pigment deposition.

Li Tongtian tried to touch it and immediately felt an indescribable sensation, as if his entire mind was about to sink into it.

He jerked back his hand, his face filled with shock.

“This is my family's Amethyst divine skill.” Chu Yang sighed deeply, “Only those with an innate Amethyst bloodline can cultivate it, and they must connect to the Amethyst energy in infancy. Before the age of fifteen, the Amethyst divine skill must break through the first stage; only then, after reaching a certain level, can one sense the Amethyst aura, determine the vein, and thus mine the Amethyst!”

Chu Yang's voice was heavy, his expression sorrowful, even carrying a hint of despair, “Such harsh conditions... After mastering it, one can only be a miner... What a tragedy!”

Li Tongtian was also left speechless, trembling all over: for our Li family, this is truly a great boon!

He felt relieved in his heart: fortunately, I didn't forcefully approach; otherwise, if I angered this kid, he could cause a mutual destruction... and that would really be a lose-lose situation.

Taking a thousand steps back, even if the ‘Amethyst divine skill’ was forced out, but to hear him say every day how harsh the conditions are... one must possess the Amethyst bloodline and connect to the Amethyst energy in infancy; reach the first stage before fifteen...

Does anyone in the Li family have the Amethyst bloodline? Wouldn't that eliminate everyone right off the bat?

Thank goodness I was cautious.

Chu Yang continued to lament, “Especially to practice this divine skill, it requires countless Amethyst; other types of heaven and earth spiritual energy are completely useless. Since an accident happened to my family, I was left all alone; all treasures were swept away; my Amethyst divine skill could not continue, so I came out to wander the martial arts world…”

“This life is hard to bear…” Chu Yang lamented, tears streaming down his face.

“It’s indeed not easy…” Li Tongtian absentmindedly echoed, his mind racing with calculations.

“This can't be good; it's even more tragic.” Chu Yang said, his face filled with anger, “Every Amethyst mine is occupied by big families... Not to mention relying on Amethyst to cultivate... I've even fallen to the point of doing Blood Reward for Amethyst cultivation…”
