...
Several martial arts that he valued were individually enhanced, and the skills elevated in level were all exhibiting their effects.
Among them, the percentage-based attack damage reduction was what concerned Qin Yuesheng the most.
The Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror, although he didn’t know its origin, its appearance in the Celestial Demon Heart Realm was enough to prove its value was no less than the Celestial Demon Evil Saber. Its nature of integrating internal and external powers allowed Qin Yuesheng to save time seeking Internal Cultivation Methods later.
But he never expected, the second passive of the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror was percentage-based attack damage reduction. This meant that if Qin Yuesheng could eventually accumulate 100% attack damage reduction, he would be invincible in the world, and no one could harm him.
Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror provides 5%, Vajra Iron Form provides 1%, and now Qin Yuesheng possesses 6% attack damage reduction, which is extraordinarily rare.
"301 points of All-Purpose Essence left," Qin Yuesheng couldn’t help but sigh.
Spending on All-Purpose Essence surpassed his spending on money, especially this time, when he managed to obtain over two thousand points of All-Purpose Essence, with the help of two major families; otherwise, buying so many pills at once would not have been an easy feat.
Using 301 points of All-Purpose Essence to enhance martial arts skills meant little, as the five martial arts Qin Yuesheng valued currently all required over 300 points, making it impossible to elevate a level at once.
Therefore, Qin Yuesheng had no choice but to spend the remaining All-Purpose Essence on enhancing attributes.
The top priority was enhancing physique.
Qin Yuesheng planned to add 100 points of All-Purpose Essence to physique at once.
But unexpectedly, when his physique reached 15.0, the add sign instantly turned gray, becoming unusable.
"Hmm?" Qin Yuesheng frowned, "Why is there a bottleneck again?"
This wasn’t the first time he encountered this situation. Previously, when his physique reached 1.0, it couldn’t be increased further. Only when the other four attributes were increased to the same level would the next phase of enhancement be unlocked.
With no other option, Qin Yuesheng spent the All-Purpose Essence on the other four attributes.
-60 points of All-Purpose Essence, Strength 15.0
-60 points of All-Purpose Essence, Agility 15.0
-100 points of All-Purpose Essence, Spirit 15.0
-49 points of All-Purpose Essence, Charisma 8.9
An indescribable sensation enveloped Qin Yuesheng’s body. At this moment, he felt a significant change in his strength, body, mind, everywhere.
It was as if he had been reborn, feeling indescribably at ease and free.
Before he could rejoice, Qin Yuesheng’s expression suddenly changed, losing control and collapsing onto the ground.
His entire body turned dark, with many black spots and bruises appearing under the skin, unevenly distributed, here and there, resembling lichen patches.
Feeling this first-hand, Qin Yuesheng was overwhelmed with itchiness and soreness, as if numerous insects were crawling and biting under his skin, causing unbearable torment.
Simultaneously, cramps emerged from his abdomen, akin to iron wires strangling his stomach and intestines.
Sensing something amiss, Qin Yuesheng hastily performed self-rescue by sitting cross-legged and operating the Nourishing Primordial Skill to regulate his body.
Previously, while using the Nourishing Primordial Skill, it mainly relied on spitting to expel impurities and dirt.
However, after reaching a high level, acquiring True Qi changed the situation.
As Qin Yuesheng controlled the True Qi in his dantian to flow through his meridians, the Qi swiftly carried the hidden black spots under the skin, ejecting them through his pores.
For a brief moment, black Qi surged from Qin Yuesheng’s entire body, soaring like steam, reaching the beams, doors, and floors.
Shortly after, Qin Yuesheng was drenched, but his aura and complexion had noticeably improved severalfold compared to before.
Slowly opening his eyes, Qin Yuesheng was astonished to see his surroundings. His room had completely transformed and was as filthy as a pigsty.
"Damn, no one can live here again anytime soon," Qin Yuesheng remarked, getting up.
After detoxifying through the Nourishing Primordial Skill, his body returned to normal, brimming with vigor akin to a tiger.
If Qin Yuesheng guessed correctly, what he just experienced should be the legendary muscle purification.
For ordinary martial artists to enjoy the benefits of muscle purification, they must either obtain rare elixirs with such functions or learn divine skills with similar effects.
For instance, among the four divine skills of the Dharma Temple are the Bone Marrow Cleansing Scripture and the Muscle Strengthening Scripture.
By using the super auxiliary tool, Qin Yuesheng explosively boosted his physical attributes in one go, directly forcing the impurities hidden in his body out. Only by expelling the impurities accumulated since childhood can a martial artist’s physical quality improve, making martial arts practice several times more efficient than others.
With the detoxification feature of the Health Cultivation Technique, Qin Yuesheng forcefully purified his muscles and bones, where the super auxiliary tool and Health Cultivation Technique are indispensable.
"The materials from West Qi Mountain Temple are indeed exceptional, even a single incomplete Health Cultivation Technique has benefited me greatly. If I can enter the West Qi Mountain Temple and learn more things, wouldn’t my future be even more promising."
Qin Yuesheng shook his head and then called Cao Zhengchun, who was still waiting outside the door, to come in.
When Cao Zhengchun walked into the room, he was utterly bewildered because the house had completely changed its appearance.
It was smelly and dirty, with a lot of black sticky liquid on the floor and facade, making one feel as though they had entered a demon’s lair.
"Young Master, you..." Cao Zhengchun wanted to ask but did not dare.
"You go and do something for me, and remember to have the servants come and clean this place up," Qin Yuesheng took out a box from underneath the bed.
He opened it and took out several things from inside.
Cao Zhengchun took a closer look, and they were eight chainmail-style lock gloves.
These eight lock gloves were taken by Qin Yuesheng after he slew Huang Feng’s four wolves that night.
The materials of these items can withstand the Evil-Subduing Saber, hence they are treasures that Qin Yuesheng could not leave unreclaimed.
Initially, he planned to have the blacksmith melt these eight gloves to craft a sheath for his Evil-Subduing Saber.
But later, Qin Yuesheng had a better idea.
He learned the Blade Skill to unleash the power of the Celestial Demon blade, but his current expertise lies in the Tiger Crane Double Form Fist.
Although most martial artists fight bare-handed when using fist techniques, Qin Yuesheng still somewhat wanted to add something to his hands.
Like Finger Tiger, fist blades, steel claws... such things, wouldn’t it be fierce when fighting others?
This way, when enemies take a punch from you, they endure not only the force of the fist but also the poison from the sinister part.
Of course, Qin Yuesheng wasn’t that malicious; he envisioned the fist equipment as arm armor.
"Take these things to the blacksmith shop and have them melted to create one piece of arm armor. One piece is enough," Qin Yuesheng handed the gloves to Cao Zhengchun. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
"Yes." Looking at all the bottles and jars on the floor, Cao Zhengchun guessed that Qin Yuesheng had eaten them all, his expression slightly surprised.
Is this a human?
The elixir stock of two great families was consumed entirely in less than half an incense stick’s burning duration.
Watching Cao Zhengchun leave the room, Qin Yuesheng took out his Evil-Subduing Saber, Rakshasa mask, and the tightly wrapped Celestial Demon blade, and also left the room.
After his purge, the room is probably no longer suitable for living in the short term, and he must find a new place to stay.
"The west wing is quiet with few people. If I move there, it will be convenient for frequent actions outdoors, so I’ll choose there."
...
Outside Cyan Yang City, a dilapidated temple.
From the outside, it is a very ordinary dilapidated temple.
A child wielding a yellow cloth wipes fresh blood off the sword blade.
Near the stone platform where the Earth Divinity is worshiped, there were all corpses killed by swords, men and women alike, totaling sixteen.
"Yunzhou Celestial Sword City, a branch of the Gu family, carrying third-rate Sword Technique ’Cloud Trace Sword Step’ and External Forging Hammer Tendon Method ’Cloud Body Skill,’ planning to set up a branch in Yao Hua Town."
The child bent down and rummaged through the arms of the man’s corpse by his feet, finally taking out a cloth bundle.
He unties it, and it is two secret manuals.
"Matched exactly." The child nodded: "Just right for me to use, but it’s still a pity. If Shen Lang’s Celestial Demon mental realm opportunity hadn’t encountered an accident last time, I wouldn’t need to bother cultivating these garbage techniques."
Stuffing the two secret manuals into his arms, the child starts to murmur to himself again.
"Where is the next opportunity supposed to be? The treasure bottle in West Qi Mountain Temple that can cultivate medicinal herbs? No, no, going there with my current power is courting death.
The opportunity in Cold Mountain Temple is too dangerous, I also have no absolute confidence to overcome it... Hmm!"
The child’s eyes suddenly lit up: "How could I have forgotten about that? Counting the days, recently is when the Fierce Tiger Gang and Flood Dragon Gang are joining forces to compete with the three renowned sects for dominance over various industries, at that time the Fierce Tiger Gang Leader who is weaker in Cyan Yang City will ask for that thing from his backer,
If I seize the opportunity and manage to obtain that thing, the regret of losing the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror will be completely made up."
With excitement, the child quickly left the place.
