Gou Zai's journey to the heavens in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 4 Spirit Stone and Tempering Body

"Sure enough, these are all spirit stones."

After returning home, Chen Ming couldn't wait to take out his harvest.

He bought three kilograms of blood beast meat from Old Man Song, which cost him two hundred taels of silver.

But for Chen Ming, the biggest reward is these seemingly inconspicuous stones.

The stone looks gorgeous and looks ordinary, but that's just the appearance.

As Chen Ming poured a ray of mana into it, the stone suddenly became brighter and brighter.

"That's right. I didn't expect that I could still find something missing when I went out."

Chen Ming was very satisfied with his harvest.

After careful calculation, he found that in addition to three kilograms of blood beast meat, he also took eight spirit stones this time.

It can be said that blood is earned.

Because the spiritual stone has not been used for a long time, after the spiritual energy on its surface escapes, it becomes like ordinary jade. There is nothing special about it. Only the injection of mana by monks can reveal its true appearance.

If it were in the Southern Territory, this situation would never be discovered. With the monk's sensitivity to spiritual energy, the spiritual stone would still be discovered no matter how well disguised it was.

But in this world, there are no monks, and even spiritual stones are like stones on the roadside.

After all, for warriors, they have no magic power and cannot draw out the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone for their own use. Naturally, it is no more than a stone.

"But judging from the situation of this spiritual stone, although the spiritual energy in this world is thin, there may still be some sporadic small spiritual veins that can condense some spiritual stones."

Chen Ming looked at the few spiritual stones in his hand and felt joyful in his heart: "But this is an advantage for me. With these spiritual stones, I can recover a lot of my cultivation."

The spiritual energy in this world is thin, and Chen Ming had deliberately used the spiritual energy to temper his body, so that even though he had been here for several months, his cultivation was still at the same level, not much different from that of a mortal.

But with these spiritual stones, it will be much more convenient.

The spirit stone contains pure spiritual energy. After Chen Ming absorbs it, his recovery speed will be much faster.

"Besides, since I can pick it up once, I can pick it up a second time."

Chen Ming thought: "There are no monks in this world. As long as the spirit stone is found, it can be easily taken."

"As long as you have enough spiritual stones, let alone restoring your cultivation level, even taking it a step further doesn't seem to be a problem."

Well, although it is not the original body, the breakthrough as a reincarnated body still has meaning.

After at least one breakthrough of the reincarnated body, the difficulty for the main body to be promoted again should be greatly reduced.

It seems that some relatively dangerous attempts can be carried out using this reincarnated body first to avoid affecting the original body.

Chen Ming thought this, and then took out another box and opened it in front of him.

What is placed inside is the flesh of the bloody beast that has been divided.

In line with what Chen Ming had found out, this blood beast meat indeed had a strange power. It had already died early, but the meat still looked quite fresh.

According to Chen Ming's induction, this thing also contains huge spiritual energy.

However, compared to the purity of the spiritual stone, the spiritual energy within the flesh of the blood beast appears to be much more chaotic, and is also quite violent in nature.

For warriors in this world, this blood beast meat is definitely very dangerous. Once a large amount is taken, the violent spiritual energy in it will wash away the body, and if you are not careful, it will cause irreversible damage to the body.

Therefore, the mainstream method is to refine it into a secret medicine, use large medicines to eliminate its toxicity, and finally digest it slowly.

But for Chen Ming, there is no need to be so troublesome.

Carefully dropping a small piece of cooked blood beast meat into your mouth, the reaction occurred immediately.

The violent spiritual energy poured into his body and rushed through his body, as if it was going to kill him directly.

If you ignore it and allow this spiritual energy to spread within your body, it will inevitably cause huge damage.

Chen Ming's expression remained unchanged, he just sat down silently and started to use Qi Entrainment Technique. Under the guidance of the Qi-Entraining Technique, the huge violent spiritual energy was calmed down and began to flow according to the established path, no longer running rampant as before.

When the violent spiritual energy was completely subdued, he stood up suddenly.

Boom!

The fierce fist wind was swaying here, and in just a moment, a set of Five Tigers Long Fist was struck by Chen Ming.

Throughout the process, his body was continuously washed by the blood beast's aura, gradually becoming tougher and stronger.

In just a moment, the body quenching process has improved.

"It really works!"

Chen Ming smiled.

Because of the Qi-Yining Art that draws spiritual energy, he is far more efficient at digesting blood beast meat than others.

For ordinary warriors to digest a piece of blood beast meat, they not only need to refine it into a secret medicine, but also need a month to buffer it.

But Chen Ming didn't use these.

With the Qi-Entraining Technique to draw the spiritual energy, it only takes him a moment to digest a portion of blood beast meat without leaving any problems.

"According to this progress, it won't take long before my body tempering will be further advanced."

Time passed by, and it was March again before I knew it.

Within the relatively spacious courtyard, bursts of soft noises could be heard.

The figure of a young man emerged, wielding a long knife in it, and the power in it continued to explode. Every time the knife slashed, it was extremely powerful, as if it could cut people in half.

This is exactly the Five Tiger Sword Techniques of Huxiao Martial Arts School.

After a moment, Chen Ming stopped and took a deep breath.

"My five tiger sword skills are finally perfected today."

In March, with the help of blood beast meat, his body tempering progress continued to accelerate, and now it has reached the point where it is close to completion.

According to Chen Ming's inquiries, in the Huxiao Martial Arts Hall, even an outstanding disciple like Xia Houwu took a full four or five years to temper his body to perfection.

But Chen Ming only took three months.

Of course, in the past three months, the amount of blood beast meat Chen Ming consumed was also unmatched by others.

In terms of weight, others may not have consumed as much blood beast meat in ten years as Chen Ming did in these three months.

After all, the blood beast meat itself is too toxic. Even if it is refined into secret medicine, ordinary people would not dare to take it every day, at least one month apart.

Chen Ming didn't have this problem.

After the body tempering is completed, the next step is to seek perfection, and then seek and try to be promoted to a martial artist.

If he could get to this point, even if he were placed in the world of cultivation, he would at least be able to compete with monks at the second or third level of Qi Refining.

"We are running out of blood beast meat. We have to restock tomorrow."

Chen Ming had expectations in his heart: "I hope there will be some extra gains this time."

He went to the black market these past few times and found a few spiritual stones after some searching. However, the sum of his harvests was not as much as the first time.

I hope I can gain something this time.

With this thought in mind, Chen Ming got up the next day.

"Still the same old rules?"

In the old shop, Old Man Song looked at Chen Ming in front of him, with some inexplicable meaning in his eyes: "You want five kilograms of blood beast meat?"
