Chapter 1223 The Soul-Chasing Technique Across Ten Thousand Miles
Su Chen walked straight in, while the others stayed outside.
Behind the stone gate was a stone chamber that looked extremely simple.
There are quite a few things piled up inside.
However, these all appear to be miscellaneous items, without any special energy fluctuations.
It seems that Andrei moved all his possessions here.
I never expected him to be such a nostalgic person.
Su Chen shook his head, his gaze suddenly falling on the innermost box.
The box wasn't large, but unlike the other items, it was extremely clean.
It's probably because it's frequently opened by people.
Su Chen stepped forward and yanked open the box.
What comes into view are two radiant stones that gleam with starlight!
Although it was the first time he had seen it, a name immediately popped into Su Chen's mind.
Starstone!
Su Chen felt a surge of excitement!
He quickly used a scanning device!
"Ding."
"Starstone".
"Stones with wondrous effects can be used to exchange for martial arts manuals in the Scripture Pavilion."
"As for other functions, the host will need to develop them on their own!"
It really is a starstone!
Su Chen couldn't help but smile!
It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.
He was still worried about where to get starstones.
Unexpectedly, two were found in Andrei's lair!
With Starstones, I can freely exchange them for cultivation techniques and secret manuals in the Scripture Pavilion.
Su Chen was just curious about what other uses the Starshine Stone might have.
Forget it, I won't think about it too much. I'll just put it away for now.
Su Chen put the two starstones into his storage space and then checked them over.
After confirming that there was nothing else of value in the secret room, he turned and left.
"Boss Su, have you found something good?"
Seeing Su Chen's smile, Sergei asked cautiously.
"It's not bad."
After obtaining the two starstones, Su Chen's mood improved significantly.
"Go back and search the Eastern Palace again to see if there are any similar places."
"Yes, Boss Su!"
Sergei nodded in agreement.
At noon, Sergei had a lavish banquet arranged in the East Palace to entertain Su Chen and his entourage.
After a satisfying meal, Su Chen arrived at the room that had been arranged for him.
He leaned back on the sofa, took out the two starstones he had obtained, and began to play with them in his palm.
"Boss, what is this?"
Mengqi moved closer to Su Chen and asked curiously.
"This thing is called starstone..."
Su Chen briefly explained the origin of the Starshine Stone.
"So with this, I can exchange it for cultivation manuals in the Scripture Pavilion?"
That's right.
"Boss, what kind of cultivation technique manual would you like to exchange for?"
Su Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly said,
"I want to acquire a technique for finding the whereabouts of a target."
Although Sergei and the others were given a strict order to find Andrei's whereabouts within a week.
However, Su Chen couldn't rely too much on the Russians.
After all, Andrei's strength is undeniable.
Moreover, Sergei and the others' power came from Andrei.
It's not that there's no chance they'll find Andrei, it's just that it's incredibly difficult!
In order to prevent Andrei from escaping to the Sakura Kingdom and causing trouble for him in seizing the power of the Azure Dragon.
Su Chen decided to use a precious Starshine Stone to exchange for a cultivation technique that could track down Andrei's whereabouts!
Just do it.
Su Chen immediately got up and went to the parking lot behind the East Palace.
His Normadison is parked here.
Soon Su Chen entered the Nine Palaces Immortal Mansion and arrived in front of the Scripture Pavilion.
"System, help me find a technique that can locate the target!"
Suddenly, a dazzling white light shone from the door of the library.
A moment later, it transformed into lines of small characters.
"The Secret-Seeking Technique of Heavenly Secrets!"
Grade: Upper Earth Rank.
Based solely on an impression of the target, its current location can be deduced, and the blurry scene in which the target is located can be displayed.
Only those who are S-rank extraordinary beings or those with Golden Core cultivation can master it.
This can only be used once per day. Against those far stronger than oneself or possessing great fortune, the deduction may backfire!
As expected of Brother Tongzi.
The first cultivation technique I encountered was a high-grade Earth-level technique.
However, the requirements for this thing are too high; only S-rank players can master it.
Su Chen continued reading.
"Cause and effect tracing method".
Grade: Lower Heaven Rank.
It requires items with strong causal connections, such as natal magic treasures, heart's blood, or fragments of divine soul, to pinpoint the target's location through worldly causes and effects.
Moreover, it can even predict its movement trend over the next six hours.
Cost: Consumes fifty years of lifespan, and weakens one's luck for half a month!
"..."
As expected of a Heavenly Rank technique, it is indeed domineering.
The problem is, it's a bit too domineering, and it even comes at the cost of one's own lifespan!
Moreover, where can one find the necessary causal link?
Su Chen shook his head and continued reading.
The following techniques either have overly strict usage conditions or too high learning requirements.
Ultimately, Su Chen set his sights on the Ten Thousand Mile Soul-Chasing Technique.
"The Soul-Chasing Technique Across Ten Thousand Miles!"
"A high-grade Xuan-level cultivation technique."
"We need a trace of the target's remaining presence as a trigger."
"We can roughly determine the target's location, with an error of no more than a hundred miles in radius!"
"It can be used at most once a month, and the tracking effect lasts for a maximum of twelve hours."
"If the time limit is exceeded, or if the target uses a concealment technique or disappears from the current plane, the spell will end immediately!"
Su Chen's eyes lit up.
Although the effect of the Soul Chasing Technique is far inferior to the previous ones.
But for Su Chen, it is the most suitable option at the moment.
Without hesitation, he chose to exchange for the Thousand Mile Soul-Chasing Technique!
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have mastered the Thousand-Mile Soul-Chasing Technique!"
Su Chen immediately left the Nine Palaces Immortal Mansion and returned to the East Palace.
He hurried to Andrei's former bedroom.
Despite the ransacking of the place, Su Chen still managed to find Andrei's personal clothing.
According to the system's description, things like hair, blood, clothing, and signs of battle all carry the target's residual scent!
Thousand-Mile Soul-Chasing Technique, activated!
As the spell was activated, Su Chen's vision blurred.
A thread of light, shimmering with a soft glow, appeared in his field of vision.
This is the soul-guiding thread of the Ten Thousand Mile Soul-Chasing Technique; apart from Su Chen, no one else can see it.
By following its trail, we can find Andrei's whereabouts.
Looking in the direction of the light, Su Chen discovered that Andrei was in the northwest of the Russian country!
No wonder they can't find him.
Both Su Chen and Sergei believed that Andrei would prioritize fleeing to Japan!
The Soul-Chasing Technique can only last for twelve hours.
Once it ends, I'll just have to wait until next month.
Su Chen didn't dare waste any time and quickly called Meng Qi over.
Flying on a sword!
A silver light enveloped Su Chen and Meng Qi, and they flew straight into the sky!
