This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 145 - 116: Cultivation of Innate Qi, The Transformation of Ghost Slash_2
Chapter 145: Chapter 116: Cultivation of Innate Qi, The Transformation of Ghost Slash_2
Fortunately, Qingyuan Fist Village had purchasing channels, and Li Fei was not short on money for the time being, with several tens of thousands in savings, so he didn’t need to worry about resources for cultivation.
After taking an Elixir, Li Fei would use Geng Metal True Qi to repeatedly “wash” over various parts of his body.
This process not only strengthened his physique but also trained his control over Innate Qi because many parts of the body were fragile and could not withstand the violent “washing” of Innate Qi. A slight misstep could cause injury, so meticulous attention was required throughout the process.
After more than ten days of strengthening, Li Fei’s Blood Soul had increased by 8, bringing the total to 141!
Aside from taking Elixirs and using Innate Qi to strengthen himself, Li Fei’s daily training also included sparring with Shangguan Xiao, which trained his application of Geng Metal True Qi.
A martial master could leverage Innate Qi in combat to amplify their speed, strength, and defensive power, among other things. However, since Innate Qi was limited and had to be replenished by the Implant after depletion, how to use this finite Innate Qi to efficiently boost Combat Power was something that required a great deal of experience and skill.
...
During this time sparring with Shangguan Xiao, Li Fei learned many useful tricks. Although he couldn’t claim to be an expert among martial masters just yet, he was certainly no longer a novice.
He had broken through to the Qi Change Stage through “Breaking Heart Barrier,” his Mind Power far surpassing that of other martial masters in the same Realm. His powerful Mind Power helped him control Innate Qi better, so whether refining his body with Innate Qi or fighting with it, his progress was swift, earning constant praise from Shangguan Xiao.
“With your current level of control over Geng Metal True Qi, you can try to develop the second function of Ghost Slash,” Shangguan Xiao suddenly said to Li Fei.
“The second function?”
Li Fei looked at the Ghost Slash Blade in his hand, “What other function does it have?”
Shangguan Xiao smiled and said, “The main material of this blade is the skeleton of a Ghost Swallowing Beast, which possesses an Extraordinary Ability to transform. Its skeleton can change shape at will, allowing it to alter its own form and even change color. This blade, made from the bones of a Ghost Swallowing Beast, retains this Extraordinary Ability. You can try to fully activate it with Innate Qi and control the blade’s shape change through Innate Qi.”
“There’s such an amazing function?”
Li Fei exclaimed, pleasantly surprised.
The Ghost Slash Blade was so useful both as his own identity and as the Green-faced Ghost that it was necessary to use the blade, but this made it easier to expose himself.
With this ability to change shape, Li Fei wouldn’t have to worry about that issue anymore.
He could use the Ghost Slash Blade in its original form, and the Green-faced Ghost could simply change the shape of the blade.
“Try using Geng Metal True Qi to completely fill the blade,” Shangguan Xiao instructed.
So Li Fei began to continuously pour Geng Metal True Qi into the Ghost Slash Blade. After about forty percent of his Geng Metal True Qi was infused into the blade, he couldn’t continue, and the Geng Metal True Qi started to overflow. The Ghost Slash Blade emitted a slight vibration, and the Geng Metal True Qi inside it vibrated as well.
“Remember this vibration frequency. In the future, when you want the Ghost Slash Blade to change shape, you won’t need to inject so much Innate Qi every time. Just maintaining this frequency of vibration for a while with Innate Qi will do,” Shangguan Xiao explained. “Now, while maintaining the vibration of Innate Qi, control the flow within the blade according to the shape you want. It feels like sculpting clay.”
Li Fei did as Shangguan Xiao instructed, and the Ghost Slash Blade indeed began to slowly transform, the blade widening and lengthening.
It was indeed challenging to maintain a specific vibration frequency of Innate Qi while controlling its flow in the blade according to one’s intentions. If it wasn’t for Li Fei’s recent training, he wouldn’t have been able to do it.
It took him over half an hour to master the blade’s transformation, enabling him to freely control the shape and color of the Ghost Slash Blade.
However, the blade wasn’t made entirely from the bones of a Ghost Cloud Beast. It was merged with many other materials, so the general framework was already set. Even with the ability to change shape, it couldn’t be too outrageous; it couldn’t, for example, turn into a spear or an axe.
Li Fei could make certain adjustments to the blade’s width, length, the streamlined shape of the edge, and its color.
The part that was changeable was where the handle met the blade, the part with the Evil Ghost’s fanged jaw.
With a click, Li Fei directly removed the whole fanged jaw from the Ghost Slash Blade.
“This blade jaw is cast from a complete Ghost Swallowing Beast bone and is embedded in the blade, so it can be taken off.”
Shangguan Xiao explained to Li Fei:
“I guess the person who forged the blade must have thought the main framework of the blade was already set. In order to add more variation and fully leverage the characteristics of the Ghost Swallowing Beast, they specifically inlaid this piece of blade jaw onto it. You could transform this blade jaw into a handguard, a chain tied to the blade, or whatever else you like. It all depends on your imagination and what you actually need.”
Li Fei weighed the blade jaw in his hand and, looking at its ghastly fang-like shape, smiled and said,
“There actually is one thing I could use it for.”
As he spoke, he infused the Geng Metal True Qi into the piece of blade jaw in his hand, then began to control its transformation.
The blade jaw, originally the size of a fist, seemed like a piece of dough being continuously flattened and elongated…
Shangguan Xiao watched curiously as Li Fei manipulated the blade jaw in his hands, eager to see what he would transform it into.
A few minutes later, Li Fei had an aqua-colored Evil Ghost Mask in his hands.
Shangguan Xiao paused, then laughed and said,
“That’s a great idea, this thing is perfect as a mask.”
The mask that Green-faced Ghost previously wore was just an ordinary mask that could easily be knocked off or broken.
Even though Li Fei had added a head covering beneath the mask, it still wasn’t secure enough.
Now that he made a mask out of the bones of the Ghost Swallowing Beast, which was exceptionally hard, there was no longer any worry about the mask getting destroyed. Additionally, the mask could serve as protective gear for the head.

Li Fei also added a ring on the back of the mask for stabilization. He donned the aqua-colored Evil Ghost Mask on his face, with the ring fitting snugly above his ears and encircling his head.
As he manipulated the Geng Metal True Qi within, the ring began to contract, eventually locking the mask firmly onto his face.
Thus, there was no longer any worry about the mask being knocked off.
“Not bad, with this the equipment of Green-faced Ghost has been upgraded.”
Li Fei, wearing the brand-new mask and wielding the transformed Ghost Slash Blade, said contentedly.
…
While Li Fei was upgrading the equipment of Green-faced Ghost, Yu Hu was in his study, receiving a visitor.
This man had a large frame and bulging muscles, with somewhat dark skin, clothed in coarse hemp; he looked like a laborer accustomed to hard work.
“Is everything ready?”
Yu Hu inquired.
The muscular man nodded his head, speaking in a somewhat strange accent,
“It’s ready.”
“Then let’s begin,”
Yu Hu said, looking out the window with a wild, tiger-like glint in his eye.
“It’s time to change the power in Xing City!”
Under the cover of night, the lights of a thousand homes in Xing City glowed tranquil and serene.
