Chapter 131 Old Deng, let's get some gold coins!
"Who?"
Su Yan immediately raised her alert level to the highest level and looked in the direction of the sound.
A strange entity was able to approach me without my noticing.
How could he not be surprised?
Standing before Su Yan was a man with long, deep red hair, wearing a red haori, and with a deep red, flame-like pattern on his forehead.
The man's eyes, as he looked at Su Yan, revealed a mixture of indifference and regret.
Just standing there quietly, he gave off an aura of invincibility that seemed to be written all over his face.
Su Yan subconsciously thought of this name from the other person: "Yoichi Tsugikuni?"
"Can you see me?"
Upon hearing this, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's calm demeanor vanished, and his gaze towards Su Yan gradually became serious.
"Really?"
Su Yan froze for a moment.
I couldn't help but recall the conversation I had with Poison Island Yako after returning to Greed Island last night.
Discussing the secrets of breathing techniques.
At that time, Su Yan was still thinking to himself, "Besides the Transparent World, the Mark, and the Crimson Blade, does the Breath of the Sun also allow people to see Yoriichi Tsugikuni?"
What's the result now?
No, it's actually possible to see Yoriichi Tsugikuni?
Su Yan stared at the deep red figure before him.
With his abilities, he could naturally tell that the other party's existence was not much different from that of Makomo and Kanae Kocho before.
They are all similar to the soul state of someone who has died and is in a state of mental instability.
However, the power emanating from the other party seemed significantly more exaggerated than that of Makomo and the others.
"Junior, can we talk?"
However, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's surprise at this moment was no less than Su Yan's.
Since his death, Su Yan is the first person he has ever encountered who can see his own existence.
"Of course, no problem."
Su Yan readily agreed.
After all, Su Yan was also very curious about this senior in front of him.
In terms of combat alone, the opponent is undoubtedly the ceiling of power in the Demon Slayer world, certified by Muzan.
Aside from being born with markings and a transparent world.
He also pioneered a breathing technique system that allows ordinary people to possess the ability to fight against evil spirits.
Not to mention that Su Yan had always thought that the other party was actually a natural Nen user.
Such a being is practically a treasure trove waiting for him to discover!
The equivalent exchange ability within Su Yan's body was beginning to stir.
He was counting on this Nen user, the first one he'd ever met who wasn't one of his own, to give him a big reward.
Yoriichi first asked Su Yan a common question that transmigrators often encounter: "Junior, what year is it today?"
"It has been more than three hundred years since you died."

Su Yan suppressed his excitement for a moment and replied.
Although the era in which Jiguo Yuanyi lived was about four hundred years ago, during the Warring States period.
But don't forget, unlike other swordsmen who have activated their markings, he lived to be over eighty years old before passing away peacefully in his old age.
"More than three hundred years? Time really flies."
Upon hearing this, Yoriichi Tsugikuni gazed into the void and murmured, "So many years have passed, brother, are you alright?"
Then Yoriichi Tsugikuni looked at Su Yan again, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, and said, "I can sense the aura of the Sun Breathing Technique that I created on you. Are you a descendant of Tanjiro?"
"I am not, but I do know the descendant of Tanjiro you mentioned, and I learned the Breathing of the Sun from him," Su Yan replied, shaking his head.
"Is that so?"
Seeing that the relationship had failed, Ji Guoyuan couldn't help but feel a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
However, he then asked Su Yan the question that was on his mind most: "What about the Twelve Demon Moons under Muzan's command—"
Before he could finish speaking, Su Yan bluntly asked, "Actually, what you want to ask about is your brother, Jiguo Yansheng, right?"
"You know?"
Ji Guoyuan glanced at Su Yan with a surprised look, but did not refute her. He said seriously, "Please be sure to tell me about my brother."
"For the centuries since your death, your brother has always been the Upper Moon One, second only to Muzan among the Twelve Demon Moons."
Su Yan explained calmly, "Besides constantly pursuing the so-called highest realm of martial arts and wanting to surpass you, my former younger brother—"
"Sigh~"
Upon hearing this, Yoriichi Tsugikuni let out a long sigh.
Su Yan interrupted Yoriichi's melancholy and asked, "I've told you everything you wanted to know. Now, can you answer my question?"
"Go ahead," Yoriichi Tsugikuni said without refusing.
Su Yan asked decisively and directly, "Are you a Nen user?"
"A person with telekinesis ability?"
Ji Guoyuan repeated Su Yan's words aloud, then asked in confusion, "What is that?"
Su Yan was not surprised by this.
He briefly explained the information about telekinesis to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
"I see, no wonder—"
Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan's face immediately showed an expression of sudden realization.
Only then did I understand why something as simple as controlling the internal energy was something that others could never learn, no matter how hard they tried.
He could only see the changes in his body when he manipulated life energy by using the Transparent World, and summarized a breathing method that allowed people to easily manipulate Qi.
If I were to say that I am a natural Nen user as the other person described, then it would make sense.
but----
Is it my own Nen ability?
Yoriichi Tsugikuni thought for a moment, then pointed to the deep red pattern on his forehead and answered hesitantly, "It should be a scar, right?"
"Stripes?"
Su Yan glanced at Yoriichi Tsugikuni with surprise.
Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem wrong, since the markings and the Transparent World are abilities that the other party possessed from birth.
However, the ability to see through the world is less of a power and more of a technique for using ki, similar to the four basic elements of telekinesis.
If the Transparent World isn't the other person's Nen ability, then all that's left is the Nen mark.
Because of the universality of the markings, Su Yan had never thought about it in this way before.
However, upon closer examination, it becomes clear that before Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the Demon Slayer world had never seen anything like the Demon Slayer Mark.
The swordsmen who were able to unlock their markings later on all did so because they had practiced the breathing technique system created by the other party.
Since this innate mark allowed Yoriichi Tsugikuni to become the undisputed pinnacle of the Demon Slayer world, and to live to be over eighty years old and die peacefully in his old age.
Therefore, this ability cannot be as simple as other people's markings, which simply enhance combat power.
Most importantly, Yoriichi Tsugikuni's lingering obsession in the human world is nothing more than Muzan and Upper Moon One, Kokushibo.
For Su Yan, it was just a matter of course, and he didn't mind using it as a condition to exchange for the other party's Nen ability.
"Your obsession is probably with Muzan and your brother, Kokushibo, isn't it? How about we make a deal?"
Su Yan said, "My Nen ability is called Equivalent Exchange. I'll help you fulfill your obsession; how about you give me your Nen ability in return?"
Ji Guoyuan glanced at Su Yan, then shook his head and gave Su Yan this evaluation: "You are too weak!"
