Dragon Lord of Myriad Calamity/
Chapter 455 A Scam
"Come here, your sister!" Such a small trick, trying to confuse his mind, was simply insulting. Chu Xuan raised his hand and slapped it away, and the scene before him instantly shattered.
Suddenly, he felt himself stepping into empty air and falling onto a hospital bed. His mind was dizzy, and his original memories were fading away like reflections, quickly leaving his eyes filled with confusion.
"Husband, it's time to take your medicine..." At this moment, a pair of long legs walked in. Chu Xuan felt they looked familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen them or who this person was. His eyes grew even more bewildered. "Who am I? Where am I?"
"Husband, have you fallen and hit your head? Do you remember a few days ago when you went out and accidentally got hit on the head by a bamboo pole, fell into a coma, and I had to ask the young master next door to help carry you back?"
The woman was both charming and lovely, beautiful and moving.
Is this my wife? Am I married? Did I really get hit by a bamboo pole and lose my memory? Chu Xuan instinctively touched his head and felt a large bump with dried blood. He thought about it and felt that he might indeed be injured, and the woman before him was likely his wife.
Not only was she beautiful, but she was also gentle and virtuous, with long legs.
Seeing Chu Xuan staring at her legs, the woman became even more shy. "Husband, you're really something. You just woke up and you're already being improper. The doctor said you need to rest for the next few months and mustn't get agitated. Come, drink this medicine while it's hot."
"Wife, where did this medicine come from? Do we have money for medicine?" Chu Xuan looked around at the thatched cottage they lived in. It was not only dilapidated but also lacked even basic bedding, with only a straw mat woven from weeds.
Truly, they had nothing.
How could such a family afford medicine, especially such a precious elixir that smelled so potent?
Wait... elixir... Chu Xuan's head was splitting with pain, feeling as though he was about to remember something, but it always slipped away. Seeing this, the woman grew even more anxious. "Husband, how are you? If something happens to you, how will I live?"
"As for the medicine money, don't worry. I recently found a job at Mrs. Wang's tea shop and can earn some money to help out. The medicine money was kindly advanced by Mrs. Wang. Husband, don't think too much. Come, drink this bowl of medicine while it's hot..." The woman considerately brought the medicine to his lips.
Looking at such a virtuous wife, Chu Xuan felt guilty and opened his mouth to drink the medicine. But as soon as he did, an inexplicable sense of humiliation and rage surged within him.
The feeling was so intense, as if he had eaten something he shouldn't have! Despite his memory loss, Chu Xuan instinctively spat out the medicine he had just drunk. Pfft! The thick medicinal liquid sprayed all over the woman's face.
The woman screamed, and her pretty face was covered in blisters, as if corroded by the medicine.
Ahhh... The woman was furious. "How did you find out? Why don't you just die, you useless thing..." She grabbed the remaining medicine and tried to force it into Chu Xuan's mouth. At that moment, a dragon's roar erupted from within Chu Xuan, thoroughly enraged.
A surge of electricity flowed through his body, forming a terrifying thunderous sword light that rushed to his brain.
"I remember now!" No wonder this scene felt so familiar. It was just like when Lin Wan'er tricked him into eating a poison pill, poisoning Tower Master. Even with his memory gone, his body instinctively sensed the danger. Chu Xuan almost didn't think and immediately drew his sword to strike.
The woman before him screamed and turned into a wisp of smoke.
The scene changed again, and the thatched cottage was gone, replaced by a stone forest.
"That was close. The trial of the Confusion Forest almost got me... Hmm, no, my sword heart..." Having escaped the illusion of the Confusion Forest, Chu Xuan was surprised to find that his sword heart had slightly improved.
From the original five layers of sword heart, it had risen to six layers.
This one-layer improvement should not be underestimated. Many sword cultivators might train for years without being able to improve their sword heart by even one layer, yet he had improved after just one trip to the Confusion Forest.
"This Sage Ceremony is truly mysterious..." Chu Xuan composed himself and continued deeper into the stone forest. This time, there were no obstacles, and he passed through smoothly.
Behind the stone forest stood a huge stone tablet.
On the tablet was inscribed an unnamed technique.
Although the technique was unnamed, just a few glances made Chu Xuan exclaim in surprise, "This technique, how is it so similar to the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, full of infinite mysteries..." Such mysteries could not be felt by those below the sixth level of talent, but those above the sixth level could feel it clearly, especially Chu Xuan, who was at the seventh level of talent. His perception was even stronger.
Almost immediately, he had a judgment in his heart, "This might be an Emperor-level technique not inferior to the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique! It is also the real test of this second stage."
He immediately concentrated and began to comprehend the technique. The more he comprehended, the more profound it became. It took him a full month to barely comprehend the entire technique.
Now, all that was left was to practice it.
Boom! He sat down cross-legged.
He began to try to operate this technique, and in an instant, the entire stone forest shook. Countless spiritual energies surged from all directions. Without needing to be deliberately driven, the comprehended technique automatically began to operate.
What's going on? Is there really a technique in this world that can practice automatically? Chu Xuan was very surprised. At the same time, in other spaces, all the prodigies who had comprehended this technique were also shocked, and a deep-rooted thought immediately formed in their hearts.
This is a top-level divine technique that is encountered by chance, not sought after. Once missed, it will surely be regretted for a lifetime!
"Start practicing now!" "Must practice as fast as possible..." Almost at the same time, all the prodigies who had comprehended it began to frantically operate this unnamed technique. Chu Xuan was also excited but managed to restrain himself.
Firstly, his dragon soul was strong.
Secondly, he already had the Emperor-level Nine Revolutions Profound Technique.
Even so, there was always a voice in his heart urging him to practice frantically. Finally, just as Chu Xuan was about to succumb to the temptation in his heart, Tower Master suddenly spoke, his tone full of panic, "This feeling, this aura, how is it possible, how can it still exist? Chu boy, you must not practice this technique. This technique is a trap, and this Sage Ceremony is also a scam!" Tower Master's tone was urgent and successfully pulled Chu Xuan back from the brink of mental collapse.
At this moment, Chu Xuan was covered in cold sweat. Just a moment ago, he was about to practice this unnamed technique frantically without regard for anything else.
"Tower Master, what exactly is going on? Why do you say this technique is a trap? Does this technique have some hidden danger?" He hurriedly asked.
Tower Master's tone was unusually grim, "Heh, it's not just a hidden danger. This technique is not meant for humans to practice..."
