I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

"what?"

"A fishy smell?"

The sword spirit said, "This thing was born in an alternate dimension deep underground, so it's normal for it to have a bit of an earthy smell... Master, the Earth Core Milk can transform a martial artist and is indeed very beneficial to their cultivation, but I'm afraid you can only refine a few drops or a dozen drops of this stuff before it reaches its limit. Drinking it like this is a complete waste."

The term "rebirth" refers to the power of "earth's milk" to transform the rotten into the miraculous, making someone with mediocre martial arts talent become even more gifted.

It can transform a martial artist with poor aptitude into someone more suited for cultivation!

The Great Xia Dynasty had also acquired some of these treasures, and they all shared one characteristic—

Overuse will render it ineffective.

Many treasures only have noticeable effects the first time they are used. For example, the "Black Fire Spirit Root" that Jiang He once refined could only increase "ten thousand jin of strength" the first time it was taken and refined.

of course.

This applies to ordinary martial artists.

As for Jianghe hemp...

He scooped up another bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Wasteful? I don't think it's wasteful."

"Ding!"

"Refine the spiritual object, Strength +100 Dragon".

Seeing the pained expression on Dao Ling's face, he said, "I can understand how you feel... but you have to know that nothing is absolute. People's constitutions are different. For others, refining three or five drops might be the limit, but I am different."

He drank eight bowls of "milk from the center of the earth" in a row.

His physical strength increased by 800 dragons.

In addition, today's killing of the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint and the devouring and refining of the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint's Saint Source each yielded "1000 Dragon Power"...

Jiang He glanced at the system attribute panel.

Name: Jiang He

[Age: 20 years old]

Occupation: Mentally ill patient

[Strength: 39060 Dragon Power]

"Ah."

"Good progress. Once my physical strength reaches 4 dragons, I'll find the Great Sage's Treasure Vault and discover the complete Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique... Then, if I encounter someone like the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint, I can kill him with a single punch!"

Jiang He sensed the changes in his physical body.

The increase in strength is secondary.

After drinking a large amount of "Earth's Core Milk", Jiang He felt that his physical body was also undergoing some kind of change.

After refining a large amount of "Dragon Bone Metal", his physical body had become incredibly strong. Even if the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint burned his Saint Source and Saint Power to raise his power to the level of a mid-level Half-Saint in a short time, it would be difficult to cause him fatal damage.

If I had to use one word to describe Jiang He's physical body at that time, I would call it "hard"!
Under extreme conditions, only a demigod can break through its defenses.

Fish and Dragon Realm?
Even if Jiang He stood there and let people chop him down, I doubt many could actually move him!
And now.

Jiang He's physical body, however, has a feeling of "returning to simplicity".

It looks and feels smooth and tender, as if you could squeeze water out of it if you pinched it, but when he wants to get "hard", it will definitely be harder than before!
"My face, my skin...it's so soft and smooth."

"I never imagined that this milk from the earth's core would have beauty and skin-nourishing effects."

Jiang He glanced at the "Earth's Core Milk" in the Black Bear Half-Saint's hand and asked, "Where did you get this?"

The black bear demigod truthfully replied, "Master... I found it."

"Back then, this mountain range wasn't called Bear King Ridge... and I was just a little bear in this mountain range who had just gained intelligence. One day, when I was stealing honey, I was chased all the way by a swarm of giant wasps and eventually fell into a crevice deep in the mountains."

Then, just like the protagonists in novels...

This giant bear unexpectedly stumbled into a cave ruin, where it not only received profound knowledge but also obtained most of a vat of "earth core milk".

This guy's life is practically like he's cheating.

In reality, it is impossible for ordinary demons like the Black Bear Half-Saint to achieve enlightenment or sainthood without a great opportunity.

"With the help of that inheritance and the milk from the earth's core, my cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and I soon became the king of this mountain range... So I named this mountain range Bear King Ridge, and gradually more and more bear-like demon beasts came to join me."

“Bear King Ridge gradually became a well-known demon clan force in the Eastern Region… I was worried that too many bears would gossip, so I never told the other bears about the Earth Core Milk, not even my descendants know about it.”

“I usually take two drops of the Earth’s core milk and put it into a mountain spring behind our Bear King Ridge to improve the health of my descendants.”

aside.

The Flying Eagle Half-Saint couldn't help but say, "Black Bear, you thick-browed, big-eyed dog, you're so cunning... I've always considered you a brother, and you even kept this kind of thing from me!"

The Flying Eagle Half-Saint possesses the bloodline of a divine beast, making his physical form extraordinary.

The Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint is a descendant of a divine beast.

Of these three, only the Black Bear Half-Saint is ordinary; his true form is just an ordinary black bear... Even the bear-like demonic beasts in Bear King Ridge have ordinary bloodlines, which the Flying Eagle Half-Saint once wondered about...

Why are these ordinary bears stronger than some demons of the same realm with special bloodlines?
Now the case is solved!
"The development of Xiongwangling is inseparable from the Earth's core milk, but we don't need that much."

The river took half of the earth's core milk.

There were probably fifty or sixty bowls.

The Flying Eagle Half-Saint had already attained enlightenment, so this thing was useless to him. Therefore, he only bestowed ten drops each on the little golden dragon and the little fox. The little golden dragon was still young and was extremely grateful for Jiang He's kindness. He said, "Sixth Brother, you did not take my treasure trove, but instead gave me benefits... You humans have an old saying, 'Those who know the times are heroes.' I am a dragon who knows the times!"

"Take whatever you like from the treasure trove left by my father."

Jiang He said, "I don't need it for now. I'll ask when I need it... Black Bear, prepare a quiet place for me. I'm going to go into seclusion to cultivate."

The Black Bear Half-Saint said, “Deep in our Bear King Ridge, there is a small valley. The environment there is quite nice and very secluded. It is where I usually cultivate, and no one dares to disturb me.”

The Black Bear Half-Saint brought the river to that valley.

The little golden dragon and the little fox also went along.

Jiang He looked around and found that the place was indeed very secluded and the environment was good. Flowers were blooming and vegetation was lush all around the valley. He nodded and said, "Not bad... You can go down first. Little Demon will stay."

The little fox blushed, knowing full well what Jiang He was thinking.

The following days.

Jianghe began a tedious and tasteless period of cultivation.

Knife skills, sword skills, and the Great Sage Fist, plus the daily must-do [Basic Attributes].

He could originally gain 230kg of base attributes per day.

After unlocking a new "Reasonable Exercise" with the little fox, the daily must-do [Basic Attribute] increased from 230kg to 240kg... Actually, Jiang He wanted to use "Reasonable Exercise" to raise the daily must-do [Basic Attribute] to 300kg.

But he gave up later.

With his current physical strength, coupled with the long-term nourishment from "Twenty-Four Flavor Rehmannia Pill", it is not difficult for him to have "reasonable exercise" seven times a night.

But the key is that I am too capable.

It takes a long time each time.

This means that after 7 times... it takes all night.

If this happens every day, how can one cultivate oneself?

The key point is that this kind of thing only grants "experience attribute" once... Jiang He concluded that doing this once a day is about right, any more than that would be "unreasonable," and the idea of ​​doing it seven times a night is a complete lie. The third day of his secluded cultivation in the valley.

Zheng!
A powerful sword intent surged from Jiang He's body.

Overwhelmed with emotion, the sword spirit cried out, "It's done... Master, you've finally mastered the sword intent..."

"I knew it!"

"With my cultivation level and understanding of the sword, I could even make a pig master unparalleled sword techniques, let alone my master!"

"Ok?"

Jiang He's eyes widened!
The sword spirit immediately realized its mistake and hurriedly said, "Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! From now on, you can cultivate unparalleled sword techniques and become an unparalleled swordsman!"

“Master, once you have mastered the sword intent, you can begin to cultivate the Great Sage Sword Dao left behind by my former master… However, you can only cultivate the first three forms of the sword technique. The fourth, fifth, and sixth forms require you to transform the sword intent into the sword dao before you can cultivate them.”

"The seventh, eighth, and ninth forms require the transformation of the sword path into the sacred laws before they can be cultivated."

Upon hearing this, Jiang He immediately cursed, "If sword intent is this hard to master, what about sword dao? I'm not practicing it anymore... Is this mere Great Sage sword dao stronger than the Emperor-level sword technique left behind by my master, the Eastern Great Emperor?"

That being said.

But I still have to practice swordsmanship and knife skills every day.

The main reason is that I have nothing to do if I don't practice, and I'm just bored out of my mind.

When Jianghe was hungry, he would eat the "water demon" delicacies cooked by the little fox in the Fish and Dragon Realm. When he was thirsty, he would drink the Heavenly Wind Water Pearl. For breakfast, he would have a bowl of Earth Core Milk. The only pity was that he found that the "Heavenly Shade Grass" no longer had any effect on him.

"Hey."

"I still have at least 4000 jin of Heavenly Yin Grass on me... I can't waste it."

He gave the little fox ten catties of Heavenly Shade Grass, and planned to give the rest of the river back to Tianmen to someone else.

Under such a dull yet fulfilling life, Jianghe's physical strength continued to grow, and finally broke through the 40,000 dragon power barrier on February 14th.

Jiang He tidied up.

We walked out of the valley.

"Master, are you out of seclusion?"

The Black Bear Half-Saint and the Flying Eagle Half-Saint had been waiting outside the valley for some time.

Jiang He nodded and said, "Get ready, come with me to the Eastern Holy City."

The task assigned by Qin Jiuzhou must, of course, be completed.

The Flying Eagle Half-Saint was incredibly fast. He traversed most of the Eastern Region and arrived at the "Eastern Region Holy King City," the most central and prosperous city in the Eastern Region of Kunlun Realm, on the afternoon of February 14th.

"What a huge city."

Standing outside the city, Jiang He couldn't help but exclaim, "This Eastern Region Holy King City, in terms of scale alone, is almost half the size of Tianmen Pass!"

The Eastern Region Holy King City is very large.

It stretches for thousands of miles in length and width.

More than 30 million people live in the city... and those who can live in this city naturally have some strength. Even the street vendors have cultivation. Martial arts masters and grandmasters can be seen everywhere, and the patrolling soldiers on the street are at least grandmasters.

It's truly a case of humans being inferior to dogs, with celestial phenomena appearing everywhere.

of course.

Fish-Dragon Realm is relatively rare.

Fish Dragon Realm would be a mainstay in any faction.

Jiang He was dressed in brocade robes and carried the World-Slaying Blade. To his left was a carefully dressed little fox, and to his right was a little golden dragon looking around like a curious child. Behind him were the Flying Eagle Half-Saint and the Black Bear Half-Saint.

To keep a low profile.

Jiang He deliberately made them conceal their auras and completely transform into human form.

The Flying Eagle Half-Saint transformed into a gaunt old man with extremely sharp eyes.

After the Black Bear Half-Saint transformed into human form, he was a burly man, standing at least three meters tall, with dark, muscular skin.

Even Jiang He simply "put on some makeup," using his muscle control to slightly alter his appearance and even adding a mustache... There was no way around it; after the Battle of Wanqu River, Jiang He had become famous throughout the Eastern Region.

If people recognize me and come up to me for autographs, what will I do?
The group looked like a young master from a wealthy family traveling with his servants.

"Young master, where shall we go first?"

The little fox asked, "The Holy Son's 800th birthday is approaching, and there's also a Sword Dao Tournament being held. There are so many people coming to this holy city these days, I'm afraid the hotels might be fully booked..."

Jiang He laughed and said, "It's alright, let's go straight to the Holy King's Mansion."

The river hadn't flowed more than a few steps.

Suddenly, she paused, stopped, and looked at the stall next to her.

Xu Rulai, dressed in a bright yellow monk's robe, was seen arguing with a young man in white at a stall over an item. The young man, who was wealthy and arrogant, said, "You bald man, you have no eyes! You even dare to snatch what I've got my eye on... Boss, I'll offer 1 spirit crystals for this. Wrap it up for me!"

"what?"

"1 spirit crystals?"

The stall owner was a grandmaster; he had never seen so much money before.

He hadn't expected that the broken incense burner he'd stumbled upon could fetch such a price thanks to the hype from these two people. He quickly stood up, bowing and scraping, and said, "Please wait a moment, sir, I'll wrap it up for you right away."

"Wait a minute!"

Xu Rulai stopped the stall owner, looked at the young man, put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer, saying, "Amitabha, young master, there is always a first-come, first-served order in everything. I saw this incense burner first... Moreover, this incense burner originally belongs to our Buddhist sect. I hope you can do me a favor and give this incense burner to me, which can be considered as forming a good karmic connection."

"To form a good relationship with you?"

There were quite a few martial artists following the young master, including those at the Fish-Dragon Realm and the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. One of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm warriors pointed at Xu Rulai and laughed, "You bald man, do you even know who this is?"

"He is the heir apparent of Dongshan Commandery, Dongfang Li!"

"Prince Li is a genius ranked among the top 100 on the Eastern Region's Quasi-Saint List. He started learning the sword at the age of six, comprehended the sword intent at the age of twelve, and entered the Celestial Realm at the age of nineteen. After that, he made rapid progress all the way. Eleven years ago, when he was a hundred years old, he had already comprehended the sword path and entered the Fish-Dragon Realm!"

"Looking at the younger generation in the Eastern Region, in terms of swordsmanship alone, there are no more than a handful who can rival Prince Li!"

"The Crown Prince Li has come to offer his congratulations on behalf of the Dongshan Kingdom, in preparation for participating in the [Sword Dao Tournament] hosted by the Holy Son... With the Crown Prince Li's strength, he will surely be able to break into the top ten of the [Sword Dao Tournament] and obtain the opportunity to go to the [Heavenly Sword Sect] in the Central Region!"

Xu Rulai: "..."

His bald head was covered with question marks.

Eleven years ago...

He's already a hundred years old?

To reach the Fish-Dragon Realm at the age of one hundred, is that... a genius from the Eastern Region?
He even made it onto the "Quasi-Saint Ranking"?

Are the geniuses of the Eastern Region really this pathetic?

At that moment, Jiang He had the same thought. Without thinking much, he stepped forward, grabbed the incense burner from the stall, glanced at it casually, and said, "This broken incense burner... and you still want 1 spirit crystals?"

talking.

He turned to Xu Rulai and said with a smile, "Monk, how about I offer you 10 spirit crystals to buy it?"

Xu Rulai's eyes flickered slightly, then he shook his head and said, "No need. Since this young master likes it, then it's yours." (End of Chapter)
