Chapter 69 Companion Divine Weapon

These military ration pills, primarily made from flesh and blood, not only satisfy hunger but also provide cultivators with a large amount of vital energy to sustain their cultivation. They represent a unique cultivation resource, containing mainly the flesh and blood of various ferocious beasts and birds, along with some special medicinal herbs. Consuming one pill can sustain one to three days without hunger, even without cultivation, making it somewhat better than a simple fasting pill.

Bigu pills can keep you from being hungry for five or ten days, but they cannot provide the large amount of vital energy needed for cultivation.

Which one is better or worse depends on individual needs.

Hu Youni was quite interested in the military ration pills. She bought ten pills with one Guixu Coin and kept them in her possession. She didn't need them now, but she could use them later. Moreover, these were resources for cultivation, so she wouldn't lose out if she used them while cultivating.

After strolling around for a while, we went to the stalls set up at the campsite.

Most of the items were brought out by individuals.

Many of the items were miscellaneous, such as clothes and shoes. Along the way, quite a few people had died or been injured. Some people died, but their original supplies were left behind. These supplies were picked up without a second thought. Even if they didn't need them, they could still be used as resources for exchange.

These are valuable items for the villagers.

Although villages are settlements, many essential supplies are scarce. After all, you can't expect a village to be perfectly self-sufficient. These clothes are necessities in the eyes of the villagers.

The transactions were quite pleasant.

During this process, Ji Tianhao found several more good things.

For example, basic cultivation techniques include the Blood River Flowing Palm in the Blood Exchange Realm and the Hunyuan Ruyi Jin in the Tendon Changing Realm. These are two Xuan-level techniques. There are also combat skills such as the Snake Spirit Illusion Sword, the Seven-Coiled Snake Spear, the Eight Methods of Blood Battle, and the Whirlwind Flying Sand Blade.

These items, all made of materials clearly of extraordinary quality, are almost identical in material to the cultivation manuals and scriptures previously unearthed from the Creation Orb. It's safe to assume they were all created within the Creation Orb. The reason for bringing them out now is twofold: firstly, these cultivation manuals can be copied and memorized; they won't become unusable after being sold. It's important to understand that these cultivation manuals possess a unique power.

Once opened, the contents will be naturally imprinted in one's mind the first time it is read, and will never be forgotten. This is the greatest benefit of the first person to read it. Although it is only memorizing the contents and not understanding the essence, it is still a rare benefit. At least the knowledge is one's own and will not be forgotten in the mind. In the future, if there is an opportunity, it can be imprinted again.

Originally, they could still be sold.

It does not affect itself.

This is why many people choose to trade the martial arts techniques they have acquired.

Some people want to exchange for cultivation techniques that suit them. For example, they might find that the Blood River Flowing Palm technique in the Blood Exchange Realm is not suitable for them and is difficult to master. They hope to exchange it for cultivation techniques of other sequences and try other methods. In this way, they can not only obtain new techniques but also complete new attempts.

This approach achieves multiple benefits; no one is stupid, and the deal will naturally be completed.

Ji Tianhao always believed that the more ancient texts and combat techniques he had, the better. Collecting some of them was not a bad thing, as he had no intention of taking a shortcut to the top.

"Possessing the talent of a black hole, cultivation resources that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain are not unattainable for me. I can cultivate my skin, my flesh, my bones, and all nine realms, leaving myself with no weaknesses. The Black Hole Breathing Technique and the Chaos Jade Cauldron Visualization Technique have paved the way for me to reach the top of each realm. Nothing is impossible. If I can become the strongest, why can't I take a chance?"

Ji Tianhao also harbors his own pride deep down.

Awakening the ultimate black hole talent has already given him the strongest foundation. With such talent, wouldn't it be a waste not to strive for the top? Cultivation, becoming stronger, and experiencing the evolution of the essence of life—this is the true meaning of cultivation.

The reason why humans are divided into skin, flesh, tendons, and bone marrow is because these are all parts that make up the human body.

You must cultivate all nine realms; you can't miss any of them!

Collecting cultivation manuals from other sequences is just a side thing to do. Besides, I still have the Creation Orb, which might open. Getting it now is just a precaution, a safety net so that if I can't get it in the future, I'll have a backup plan.

After strolling around for a while, Ji Tianhao and the other person left the market together.

As I left, I could clearly see that the sky had already darkened.

From the hearth on the hill, a faint orange-red light flickered. That glow gently enveloped the entire village, preventing it from appearing too dark in the night. This was the fire in the hearth, also known as the primordial fire. This fire could only sustain the life of the entire hearth, resist assimilation from the void, and support a small oasis of life. It had little effect on warding off evil spirits or deterring external enemies.

However, on Huotang Mountain, a gaze seemed to be watching the entire village.

“The nights in Shihu Village are not necessarily peaceful. When we were wandering outside, we were already attacked by monsters and beasts. This is a village with a larger population, which may attract even more monsters and beasts.”

Hu Youni glanced outside the village and said meaningfully, "That's not necessarily true. If the village is really that big, and there are constant attacks from calamity soldiers and beasts, it will definitely cause great harm. I suspect that the Fire of the Gods is trying to shield the calamity moon from attention to avoid attracting a large number of calamity soldiers and beasts. Whether this guess is correct or not, we'll have to see what happens tonight."

Ji Tianhao said calmly.

In any case, regardless of the speculation, it should be much safer inside the village than in the wilderness.

Everything else is secondary.

Soon, they returned to the camp.

Everything was normal in the camp. Baxia Dragon Lord remained quietly in place. When it was still, it was no different from a real statue. It could remain still and continue to do so indefinitely.

Back in the tent, he took out the animal skin scrolls and the booklet that the man had given him.

"Let me see what's so mysterious about these natal magical artifacts. Such a large sword can actually be stored inside the body."

Hu Youni was very curious and found something that could enhance her combat power extremely attractive.

Moreover, nurturing one's natal magic weapon sounds like a good idea.

Beast King Drum

A war drum can be crafted from the hides of a hundred beasts, imbued with their ferocious spirits. The more beast spirits infused into it, the greater its power. When struck, it produces the roar of a beast king, shaking heaven and earth. It can command a hundred beasts, sweeping across the enemy ranks, and impacting their souls, causing immense damage. When refined into a natal magic weapon, it gains the ability to control beast spirits and command a hundred beasts. This requires mastering the hide refining process and condensing magical runes before it can be refined into a natal magic weapon.

"It looks pretty good. If this Beast King Drum is successfully crafted, skin-refining cultivators will not only possess powerful defenses, but will also have more direct combat capabilities. That would be incredibly powerful, as they can gather and control beast souls, and even unleash the Beast King's battle cry."

After reading it, Hu Youni's eyes shone even brighter.

He then picked up another animal hide.

Soul-calling banner

Made from special materials, this long banner can absorb and refine the souls of all spirits, merging them into the banner to become spirits controlled by it. It can release a summoning light to attract souls and activate the Yin energy condensed within the banner to attack enemies. When refined into a natal magic weapon, it grants the user the ability to summon and control ghosts.

"Why are all the natal magic weapons in the Skin Refining sequence so eerie? They're all about refining souls and such. Something seems off about this approach."

Hu Youni's excitement subsided slightly, and she said with some doubt.

It sounds good, but those in the Skin Refining sequence are all playing with souls, raising ghosts? It doesn't seem very proper.

"Is that right? You'll see when you look at this booklet. A true natal magic weapon cannot be nurtured casually. If you try to nurture a weapon now, it's equivalent to cutting off almost half of your path."

After reading the booklet in his hand, Ji Tianhao was filled with emotion.

The natal ritual implement is indeed not the problem, but the problem is that it belongs to unorthodox methods, or in normal terms, unorthodox practices.

Under normal circumstances, within the Black Iron rank, one cultivates through nine realms. In each realm, the most important aspect is not mastering any special power, but rather cultivating the physical body, tempering one's physique, condensing and enhancing magical runes, until one can complete the leap in life and advance to the Bronze rank. During the advancement process, most of the time, what is strengthened is blood and qi, and power. Skin refining mainly involves tempering one's own skin membrane, making it incomparably defensive and able to withstand all kinds of powerful attacks.

Only when the dragon pattern is condensed, and one has cultivated to the extreme within this realm, will the dragon pattern naturally begin to nurture physical supernatural abilities of the corresponding sequence. At this time, one can take the opportunity to melt down some of the most top-tier spiritual objects of heaven and earth, turning them into nourishment for oneself and becoming the carrier for nurturing supernatural abilities, evolving along with the supernatural abilities. The moment the supernatural abilities complete their transformation is also the moment one's own natal magic weapon is born.

Magical implements and supernatural powers are closely linked and inseparable; magical implements are supernatural powers, and supernatural powers are magical implements.

Furthermore, since it is essentially a manifestation of one's own physical supernatural abilities, it means that as the supernatural abilities grow, the magical artifact will also grow; the two are inextricably linked, sharing both prosperity and decline. Therefore, cultivators call it a companion magical artifact, also known as a natal divine weapon!

Once created, it directly transcends the level of magical artifacts and can be compared to the level of magical treasures.

In the Void, all kinds of magical artifacts and treasures are divided into four categories: magical artifacts, magical treasures, spiritual treasures, and supreme treasures.
