Chapter 67 - 67 Difficulty of Body Tempering
67 Difficulty of Body Tempering
In the remote wilderness, many people in black robes were gathered together to report on their recent actions as usual.
Ever since the corpse implanted with the Evil-making Nail was discovered by the night patroller, the night patrollers began to search these corpses wantonly, causing many corpses to be destroyed before they could transform into evil spirits.
This seriously affected their plans.
Although they were also constantly hunting night patrollers, there were many night patrollers, and they gradually began to form large groups, making it difficult for them to attack.
At the same time, they were clearly lacking in manpower. Coupled with the fact that there was an unexpected expert among the night patrollers, they began to suffer losses one after another. Especially when they heard that their deputy leader had actually died in the area of Team D’s night patrollers, everyone was shocked.
They all knew very well that this deputy leader had reached the Blood Qi Shadow Transformation realm.
Logically speaking, it was an invincible existence in the Martial Entry-Level. But now, he is dead! Moreover, he died at the hands of the weakest night patroller in Team D.
“Could it be that a Qi Martial Realm expert has taken action?!”
They subconsciously thought that it was a Qi Martial Realm expert who had killed the deputy leader.
The leader of the black-robed men shook his head. If a Qi Martial Realm expert participated, it was impossible for him not to receive the news. However, the death of the deputy leader was indeed very unusual.
“I will personally investigate this matter.” The leader of the black-robed men said in a deep voice.
Whatever the reason, he had to find out who killed the deputy leader. And he did not have to worry about not being able to find this person. On the other party’s body, there would be a wisp of aura left behind by the deputy leader after his death.
With this aura, it was not difficult for him to find this person.
… .
On the Night Patrol Division’s side.
The operation to eliminate the evil spirits continued.
Although this period of action had caused a certain number of casualties to the night patrollers, the number of evil spirits was also effectively controlled.
Most importantly, the corpses that formed evil spirits were destroyed in large quantities. It was controlled from the source. As long as these corpses were gone, evil spirits would not be born endlessly.
Although Xiao Shi’s team was one person short, their daily actions continued.
Now, each of them has already obtained many contribution points. Just the contribution points they had obtained these few days were almost comparable to the contribution points they had earned from doing missions for a year.
After Xiao Shi successfully put on the Martial Emperor Mask, he no longer had to stay in the Martial Entry-Level. He felt that he could start planning to break through to the Qi Martial Realm.
Xiao Shi had always felt a sense of urgency.
Although he had never encountered a half-formed evil spirit or an adult evil spirit so far, he did not let down his guard because of this. He was always worried about this potential threat.
He wanted to become stronger at all times.
However, reaching the Qi Martial Realm from the Martial Entry-Level was a huge leap.
He needed a corresponding method to break through.
As for the method to break through to the Qi Martial Realm, it was a secret in various sects. Only by reaching the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level and advancing to an inner sect disciple could he obtain the method to break through to the Qi Martial Realm from the sect.
Although Xiao Shi could not obtain a way to break through to the Qi Martial Realm, he could make a breakthrough in his physical body first.
He immediately took out a jade slip.
It was the jade slip that recorded the Body Tempering cultivation technique, the Nine Vajra Body. Back then, because Xiao Shi had yet to reach the ninth Body Tempering, the information he saw in the jade slip was limited.
He dropped a drop of blood onto the jade slip. After the jade slip absorbed it, Xiao Shi finally saw the complete content of the Body Tempering cultivation technique, the Nine Vajra Body.
The core of this Body Tempering cultivation technique was to refine the Vajra Body.
According to the description in the cultivation technique, once he cultivated the Vajra Body, not only would he be invincible in the Qi Martial Realm, but his body would also reach the strength of the Blood Martial Realm.
The cultivation of the Vajra Body was mainly divided into three steps.
They were the Vajra Skin, Vajra Tendon, and Vajra Bone.
The first thing he needed to cultivate was the Vajra Skin.
The cultivation method was to use the special method of the Nine Vajra Body to cultivate with natural treasures.
However, in terms of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Martial Entry-Level heavenly treasures were no longer very useful. He needed Qi Martial Level heavenly treasures to have a good effect.
This gave Xiao Shi a headache.
Now, it was very easy for him to obtain Martial Entry-Level items. However, a Qi Martial Level item was very difficult.
So far, he only had one Qi Martial Level item. It was the jade slip in his hand that recorded the Nine Vajra Body. It was dropped when he killed a ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level martial artist for the first time.
According to the pattern of killing mortal creatures and dropping Martial Entry-Level items, to kill a Martial Entry-Level martial artist (evil spirit) and drop a Qi Martial Level item, the number of kills had to reach at least a few thousand before it could drop a second time.
But the most vexing thing was, even if a Qi Martial-level item dropped, it might not be a heavenly treasure.
If a Qi Martial-level heavenly treasure was also a high-quality item, then only by killing powerful Qi Martial Realm martial artists would there be a higher chance of dropping it.
Although weaker Qi Martial Realm martial artists might also drop heavenly treasures, the chances were not too high. The possibility of dropping a Qi Martial-level treasure by killing a Martial Entry-Level martial artist (evil spirit) was even slimmer.
This could not help but make Xiao Shi realize that he had to obtain a Qi Martial-level heavenly treasure.
The difficulty was extremely high. Moreover, the heavenly treasures needed to cultivate the Nine Vajra Body were even more than when he entered the Martial Entry-Level.
At the Martial Entry-Level, a heavenly treasure could increase one’s level. However, the cultivation of the Nine Vajra Body required more than one heavenly treasure to cultivate the Vajra Skin.
“Body Tempering is indeed not easy!”
Xiao Shi was very emotional about this.
Body Tempering at the Martial Entry-Level was already very difficult for ordinary people. After all, it was undoubtedly a fool’s dream for ordinary people to obtain nine heavenly treasures.
However, at the Qi Martial Realm, not only did the difficulty of Body Tempering not decrease, but it also increased.
Xiao Shi even suspected that no one in this world could cultivate the Vajra Body.
“Currently, Martial Entry-Level items are no longer of much significance to me. I need Qi Martial Level items even more.”
Xiao Shi understood his biggest problem. It was just that Qi Martial-level items were too difficult to obtain. Apart from killing a large number of Martial Entry-Level martial artists (evil spirits) and dropping them, there seemed to be no better way.
“I wonder if I can kill a Qi Martial Realm martial artist now?”
Xiao Shi was deep in thought. The difference between the Martial Entry-Level and the Qi Martial Realm was extremely huge. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a Martial Entry-Level martial artist to kill a Qi Martial Realm martial artist.
Even a Martial Entry-Level martial artist who had undergone nine Body Temperings could not do it.
However, Xiao Shi had already surpassed the Martial Entry-Level martial artist after nine Body Temperings.
What they could not do did not mean that he could not do it either!
