God-Like Extraction Chapter 154 - True Essence Card!

Chapter 154: True Essence Card!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

This He Family definitely has secrets.

Su Jingxing knew about the Scholar Restaurant. It was a century-old restaurant located on an old street between the Western District and Southern District.

It had a very good reputation, but business operations were average.

There were rumors about Scholar Restaurant circulating online.

It was said that someone had once recommended himself to help the boss promote the business and expand the influence of the restaurant. The person suggested opening a branch in the prefecture city.

In the end, he was rejected by the boss of Scholar Restaurant. The excuse was that they were very satisfied with the current situation and did not want any major changes.

Since the boss was not interested in expansion, the others were naturally discouraged.

Su Jingxing had casually read the information then and didn’t take it to heart.

From the looks of it now, the He Family had been intentionally maintaining the status quo of Scholar Restaurant!

A martial arts family with 400 years of history, on the surface, ran a restaurant. The boss even came from a family of chefs. Who would have thought that they were martial arts experts?

“Third-grade…”

Tsk!

While he was left speechless, Su Jingxing sighed from the bottom of his heart.

The number one expert in Qinghe City was Li Linzhou, but there should be a few people with similar strength to him in secret.

For example, the Li and Zhou families’ old patriarchs.

These martial families with legacies for hundreds of years had deep foundations and many of their members were powerful.

Just like s.h.i.+ Zhinie.

If not for the fact that he had suffered Qi Deviation while cultivating the Blood Drop Heretic Art, he would not be weaker than Li Linzhou.

Similarly, no one knew that the He Family was 400 years old, not even Li Linzhou.

After all, Li Linzhou had only been the Commander of City Governance of the Martial Suppression Office in Qinghe City for less than ten years.

However, the Li, Zhou, Qi families were all local martial arts factions with legacies of over a hundred years. There was a 99% chance they knew about the He Family.

Including the s.h.i.+ Family.

In order to advance to the third-grade, s.h.i.+ Zhinie had gone on a killing spree, cultivating a heretic art. Perhaps he had been provoked by the He Family.

Who knew if a martial arts family suspected to have a third-grade martial artist would suddenly go crazy?

Even though they had kept a low profile for 400 years, the more low-profile they were, the more fearful they were.

The s.h.i.+, Li, Zhou and Qi families…

All the factions that were aware of the He Family’s existence were wary of them!

Even Su Jingxing felt a little apprehensive.

Before seeing this section of the memories, Su Jingxing dared to go to any place in Qinghe City.

With his true energy cultivation of 351 years, he was not afraid of anyone.

But now, knowing that there might be a hidden third-grade big shot in Qinghe City, Su Jingxing thought that it would be better to keep a low profile.

Mm, even a third-grade big shot was keeping a low profile, so he, a person in the fifth-grade, had no reason not to.

“Looks like 351 years of cultivation is not enough!”

Su Jingxing narrowed his eyes.

If my cultivation is insufficient, I shall continue to increase it.

With this in mind, Su Jingxing unlocked all the True Energy Cards he had extracted. He then absorbed and converted the true energy into Heaven Trampling True Energy.

Then, he took out three True Energy Cards from his reserves. He unlocked and absorbed the true energy to acc.u.mulate 400 years of true energy cultivation!

“400 years of true essence cultivation, how long can I last against true essence?”

Su Jingxing’s eyes flashed.

…

The next day.

Su Jingxing went to work at the crematorium early in the morning.

The moment he walked in, he extracted a bunch of cards.

After that, he did not rush to read the information. He first patrolled the area and greeted people he knew before returning to his office. He took out the cards and checked what function cards they were.

Internal Force Card, Strength Enhancement Card, Essence Energy Card, Strength Enhancement Card, Skill Card, Internal Force Card…

They were all ordinary cards. Even though there were Skill Cards, they did not contain martial arts or secret ability. Instead, they were culinary skills.

Such life skills could be repeatedly extracted. Su Jingxing basically placed them all in a corner of his palm s.p.a.ce.

The other Internal Force Cards were acc.u.mulated. The Strength Enhancement Cards and Essence Energy Cards were unlocked. The Strength Pills and Essence Energy Pills obtained were stored separately.

After that, he continued tempering his true energy and honing his secret abilities.

Two hours later, he went out to patrol the area again.

When he returned to his office, another bunch of cards appeared in his palm s.p.a.ce.

As usual, Su Jingxing took them out one by one, held them in his palm, and read their descriptions.

Strength Enhancement Card, Strength Enhancement Card, Essence Energy Card, Essence Energy Card, Internal Force Card, Strength Enhancement Card, True Essence Card, Essence Energy Card…

Still the same, they were all ordinary cards. The only card that stood out was the True Energy…

Hold on!

Suddenly, Su Jingxing’s body shook, his eyes filled with shock.

He quickly drew out one of the cards and read the information again.

He had seen right. It was indeed a True Essence Card!

It was a True Essence Card with three years of cultivation.

“True Essence Card, True Essence Card…”

Su Jingxing murmured, unable to hide the shock on his face.

The True Essence Card, as the name suggested, unlocked to give a ball of attributeless true essence.

But, is true essence something that an ordinary martial artist could possess?

Top ranks!

Only martial artists in the top ranks will have true essence.

The card cannot fool.

This meant that among the corpses I’ve extracted from earlier, there is a corpse of a third-grade powerhouse!

A third-grade expert in Qinghe City has died?

Nope.

If there is, the entire city would be in an uproar.

Is there a third-grade expert in Qinghe City?

Su Jingxing didn’t think so before midnight.

But after watching Ge Yuzi’s memories, Su Jingxing knew that there might be one in Qinghe City.

The previous patriarch of the He Family, who had been keeping a low profile for 400 years!

Lu Chen from Ci En Bank was not sure if the elderly patriarch was still alive.

Now, Su Jingxing was 99% sure.

He was dead!

The True Essence Card he extracted most likely came from this previous patriarch of the He Family.

This news was too shocking and hard to believe, but it could be verified.

The verification method was very simple. Su Jingxing put away all the cards and walked out of the office. He went to the information room and pulled out all the information about the people who had died.

He checked every file one by one and found a suspicious entry.

He Guren!

This was an old man called He Guren. He was 98 years old.

Cause of death, complete aging of major organs.

Which meant that it was a natural death due to old age.

In the eyes of others, this piece of information wasn’t anything special. At most, they would sigh at He Gu’s peaceful pa.s.sing, truly a natural death.

But in Su Jingxing’s eyes, it was full of questionable points.

He Guren, He, He¹!

A 98-year-old dying of old age?

It would probably take another 20 years.

When Lu Chen met the previous patriarch of the He Family when he was young, this third-grade expert was already in his nineties.

If the other party had lived until now, there was no doubt that he had reached the end of his lifespan.

118 years old!

As for why the He Family falsified the information, even giving the relatives who sent He Guren off the surname He,

it was clear that they did not want any accidents, just like their style of keeping a low profile for 400 years.

After all, if news of a third-grade expert’s death were to spread, the commotion it would cause would be unimaginable.

The He Family was probably already familiar with how to carry out their funeral arrangements quietly.

If Su Jingxing had not used his cheat ability and extracted the True Essence Card, he would not have known.

Of course, whether He Guren was the previous patriarch of the He Family or not, he still needed to verify.

Find out this old patriarch’s real name!

“If I can be a hundred percent sure that He Guren is the previous patriarch of the He Family, I’m sure the Li Family will be very happy!”
