Counting the ti, Wang Xiaoqiang had stayed in the Mystic Yin Mountains for nearly a month.
In this month, he made plentiful gains.
First, he had obtained a wondrous Cultivation Technique for Body Refinent, the "Divine Demon Body Refinent". Through Divine Demon Body Refinent, in just a month's ti, he had reached the Mid-Stage Muscle Refining.
Additionally, he had cultivated the Divine Art "Thunderclap Annihilation Palm" to the First Layer Realm.
Compared to Body Cultivation, his progress in Qi Cultivation was not as remarkable, still being at the First Transformation of the Immortal stage. However, with his current physical strength and power, he was fully capable of confronting experts at the Fifth Transformation of the Immortal level.
This is the advantage of Body Cultivation.
Another was the revival of the Patterned Beast.
Although Wang Xiaoqiang had never summoned it, he could genuinely feel that the Patterned Beast on his back had revived and that he had established a connection with it through willpower.
With just a thought, this Patterned Beast, whose strength was equivalent to an Eighth-Level Demon Barbarian, would move according to his will.
Whether for protection or slaughter, it was at his command, and the Patterned Beast was inscribed in his body as a tattoo, depending on his flesh for life. Both Wang Xiaoqiang and the Patterned Beast would share each other's fortunes and misfortunes.
Thus, the loyalty of the Patterned Beast was absolutely high.
However, due to rushing back and forth in the mountains over the month, his robes, already shattered by Li Bali, were now even more tattered, so he decided to secretly return to Green Rock Peak to change his outfit.
Now, he was also a Body Training Expert. Though his physical realm was not as formidable as Li Bali's, with the Penglai Immortal Sword and the Patterned Beast to aid him, he need not fear Li Bali should they et again.
Thus, that night, Wang Xiaoqiang took Yang Ling back to Green Rock Peak.
Yang Ling didn't want to stay in the Suru Ring, so Wang Xiaoqiang let her out to fly back with him. Mid-flight, Yang Ling said, "Little Qiang, if you want to quickly break through the Mid-Stage Muscle Refining, you need to take so pills. When we get to Green Rock Peak, you can exchange so Demon Crystals for pills to consu…"
"Mm!" Wang Xiaoqiang nodded. These days, he had killed many Demon Barbarians in the mountains, and he had stored all the Demon Crystals he collected in the Suru Ring, not having used them yet. Now, they could be put to good use.
By the ti they returned to Green Rock Peak, the night was deep. The Outer Sect Disciples had all gone to bed, but a row of shops near the cafeteria still had their lights on.
Wang Xiaoqiang instructed Yang Ling to return to his stone house while he, taking advantage of the night, took the 65 Demon Crystals he had obtained directly to Boss Feng's shop. When Wang Xiaoqiang willed it, a large pile of Demon Crystals appeared, and Boss Feng was utterly petrified.
Last ti, Wang Xiaoqiang had brought out 15 Demon Crystals at once, which had already startled him. Now, he had suddenly produced 65.
The significance of 65 Demon Crystals: an Entry-Level Disciple might not be able to gather 65 Demon Crystals in five years, since the Trial Arena was too perilous, and one could easily lose their life inattentively.
Boss Feng lifted his head and stared at Wang Xiaoqiang as if he had seen a ghost, his fingers trembling as he pointed at the pile of Demon Crystals, and asked incredulously, "These, these are Demon Crystals, did you obtain all of these?"
"Boss, you're not suspecting that I stole them again, are you…"
"Mm, I do trust your character, but, but…" Boss Feng leaned down to pick up a Demon Crystal, weighed it in his hand, and with much experience said, "They're not freshly acquired, this one is at least half a month old."
"That's right, these Demon Crystals have new and old ones, but, who could gather so many in a day?" Wang Xiaoqiang, seeing that Boss Feng kept questioning him, showed signs of impatience and said, "Hey, do you want them or not? If not, I'll take them to another shop."
With so many Demon Crystals, it was definitely a big deal, so how could Boss Feng not want them? He imdiately slapped his thigh and said, "Of course, I want them! How many are there in total? What do you want to exchange them for?"
"Body Refinent Pills," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he pushed the Demon Crystals towards Boss Feng. "There are 65 in total, please check them."
"Done." Boss Feng brought out a folding chair for Wang Xiaoqiang, personally opened it for him, and casually pulled out a price list for pills, handing it to him with both hands: "Pick your pills!"
Then, as Boss Feng began counting the Demon Crystals, Wang Xiaoqiang started selecting pills.
Wang Xiaoqiang held the pill price list, examining it closely.
The list detailed various pills, ranging from the Tough Skin Realm to the Peak of Organ Refining, covering all stages of Body Refinent systematically arranged.
Wang Xiaoqiang's eyes skipped over the earlier Tough Skin and Tempered Flesh Realms, looking directly at the "Pills used in the Muscle Refining Realm"――
Basic Muscle Refining Pill 1 Demon Crystal/30
Advanced Muscle Refining Pill 1 Demon Crystal/10
Blood Ferret Muscle Refining Pill 1 Demon Crystal/5
Heavenly Cat Muscle Refining Pill 1 Demon Crystal/3
Divine Leopard Muscle Refining Pill 1 Demon Crystal | 1
Ancestral Python Muscle Refining Pill 3 Demon Crystals/1
...
Before, Wang Xiaoqiang always felt that the price of pills was outrageously expensive, but now, he no longer felt that way.
Indeed, the experience of entering a shop as a poor person versus as a wealthy individual is incomparably different.
Wang Xiaoqiang understood the principle of 'you get what you pay for.' If one compared the "Divine Leopard Muscle Refining Pill" and the "Ancestral Python Muscle Refining Pill," the pills refined by a Six-Level Demon Ancestral Python naturally had double the effect of those made by a Fourth-Level Divine Demon Leopard. Although expensive, they were reasonably so.
Pills, naturally, had to be the best.
Thus, he selected 5 Ancestral Python Muscle Refining Pills and then looked down towards the "Pills for the Organ Refining Realm"―
Basic Organ Refining Pill 1 Demon Crystal/20
Advanced Organ Refining Pill 1 Demon Crystal/5
Snow Wolf Organ Refining Pill 1 Demon Crystal/1
Cloud Tiger Organ Refining Pill 3 Demon Crystals/1
Demon Bear Organ Refining Pill 5 Demon Crystals/1
...
Wang Xiaoqiang used the remaining 40 Demon Crystals to select 8 Demon Bear Organ Refining Pills.
After Wang Xiaoqiang had selected his pills, Boss Feng finished counting the Demon Crystals and looked up with a smile, "Exactly 65, not one more or less. Have you chosen the pills, Wang Xiaoqiang?"
Wang Xiaoqiang stood up, saying, "I have chosen, I want 5 Ancestral Python Muscle Refining Pills and 8 Demon Bear Organ Refining Pills..."
Hearing this, Boss Feng did a quick ntal calculation, smiled, and said, "That's perfect. Ha ha... Wang Xiaoqiang... it looks like you've started body cultivation now, aiming for a fast progression. But, Wang Xiaoqiang, you are currently in the mid-stage of Muscle Refining. With these 5 Ancestral Python Muscle Refining Pills, you can reach the peak of Muscle Refining in one week. Those 8 Demon Bear Organ Refining Pills can help you achieve a small success in Organ Refining within three months... Ha ha... Wang Xiaoqiang... you're going to thrive..."
As he spoke, Boss Feng imdiately began to take out the selected pills for Wang Xiaoqiang and also gifted him an additional Advanced Muscle Refining Pill, cunningly smiling, "Co back to with Demon Crystals next ti, I'll give you a discount."
"As long as you don't spread tonight's event, you'll have plenty of business from in the future..." Wang Xiaoqiang flashed a smile at Boss Feng that was neither warm nor cold but possessed an imperceptible nace, causing a chill to run down Boss Feng's spine.
After placing the pill bottles into his bosom, Wang Xiaoqiang turned and stepped out of the shop.
Boss Feng watched Wang Xiaoqiang's retreating figure with a puzzled expression, his eyes rolling as he nodded to himself, murmuring, "Hmm! This young fellow must have encountered so incredible fortune! He has progressed from Divinity Transformation to First Transformation of the Immortal in just one month and also broke through the mid-stage of Muscle Refining. If he continues like this, it won't even take a year for him to beco a terror. Let alone Li Bali, even True Qi Realm Practitioners wouldn't be able to kill him!"
Wang Xiaoqiang returned to his stone house, took a bath, and then napped a while before he sat crossed-legged on the bed, tossing all 5 Ancestral Python Muscle Refining Pills into his mouth and swallowing them down.
The potency of the dicine spread throughout his body, perating his flesh and binding to his bones. Faint essences of the pills nourished each strand of his muscles and bones.
It would take about six to seven days to fully refine these 5 Ancestral Python Muscle Refining Pills.
Boss Feng was right, with these 5 Ancestral Python Muscle Refining Pills, he could break through within a week and reach the peak of the Muscle Refining Realm.
