20: Cultivating both inner and outer strength, one can enter the Vajra Realm.
After making preparations, Shen Tianxing took out the blood ginseng pill he had recently bought, consumed six of them directly, and began to charge into the Vajra Realm!
At the same time, he added experience points to the "Hundred Battles Heart Method."
Boom—
True Qi surged, and hot waves rolled.
After adding 154 experience points, the "Hundred Battles Heart Method" easily reached the fourth level.
Then came 3200 points!
6400 points!
12800 points!
He directly ascended four levels!
Boom—
Shen Tianxing's entire body seemed to be bathed in hot waves, a scorching sensation filled the entire room, and True Qi surged endlessly within him.
The medicinal power of those six blood ginseng pills was also rapidly refined within this scorching True Qi tide, transforming into pure True Qi that circulated within his body... Half an hour later!
Shen Tianxing's surrounding True Qi recovered and slowly gathered into his Dantian.
"The Vajra Realm, it's finally achieved!"
Opening his eyes, he felt the abundant True Qi surging like a lake in his Dantian, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
This feeling is so powerful!!!
He had reached the Vajra Realm in such a short time!
Now, his True Qi Cultivation was already considerable.
Coupled with absorbing the essence of the Great Compassion Monk's Qi and blood, his "Indestructible Great Buddha Body" had advanced to the third layer, and in terms of Physical Body strength alone, he had also reached the first level of the Vajra Realm.
Cultivating both internally and externally, he had simultaneously stepped into the first level of the Vajra Realm!
No one below the third level of the Vajra Realm was his opponent!
Even among the experts below the third level of the Vajra Realm in the Martial Suppression Division, Demon and Monster Division, and Qimen Division, the same held true.
Crackling...
Shen Tianxing's shoulders shook, and countless dried blood clots and black Impurities were shattered from his body, falling to the ground.
His entire physique became even more translucent, with a faint golden treasure light flowing, and his whole body was completely different from before.
Previously, although his body wasn't considered robust, it appeared more sturdy; now, however, he looked somewhat slender, and even his appearance had become more handsome.
"I didn't expect that the improvement in Physical Body strength would have this effect..."
Shen Tianxing shook his head.
"Phew... I still have ten thousand experience points left, it seems it's still far from enough!"
The improvement of his Cultivation Realm and Cultivation Technique consumed over 40,000 experience points.
Not much was left, not enough for him to upgrade everything, so he could only choose what he relied on more now.
Shen Tianxing's gaze fell upon the sixth-grade superior martial art, "Impermanence Saber Technique."
Impermanence claims lives, no life remains under the saber!
The grade of this saber technique was not high; among the martial arts he had mastered, it could only be considered mid-to-low.
However, the upper limit of the "Impermanence Saber Technique" was still far from reached.
Especially the characteristics of this martial art were highly malleable for Shen Tianxing!
It naturally restrains demons, monsters, and ghost cultivators, possessing infinite power!
When Cultivated to the end, this saber technique could even directly slay Divine Souls!
If it truly reached that stage, Shen Tianxing would undoubtedly wield a terrifying saber martial art!
"It's you! Improve the 'Impermanence Saber Technique'!"
Shen Tianxing didn't hesitate much and chose this martial art.
4000 experience points!
5000 experience points!
The sixth-grade superior martial art "Impermanence Saber Technique" directly advanced from 'thorough mastery' to 'superb skill,' reaching the level of 'peak perfection'!
It consumed 9000 experience points in one go!
Shen Tianxing looked at the remaining 1546 experience points and shook his head.
"I need to enter the Purgatory Division as soon as possible, and I wonder how Wang Hu and the others are doing."
... The next day, early morning.
Shen Tianxing dressed, slung his ghost head saber at his waist, and walked out of the courtyard, ready to go to the yamen.
As he stepped outside the door, he once again met Su Zhong and Su Mingyue.
"Big Brother Shen!"
Su Mingyue wore a floral dress, looking a bit thinner.
Evidently, she had endured many hardships during the past few days of collecting herbs.
Especially for a young girl like Su Mingyue, to be able to camp out in the open, shows her strong will.
"Uncle Su, Mingyue, you're back."
Shen Tianxing greeted them with a smile, clearly more affectionate than with other neighbors.
Su Zhong, as always, said nothing, the honest herb gatherer just smiled and nodded.
Su Mingyue's face was radiant, but it couldn't hide her exhaustion.
"Big Brother Shen, are you used to it there?"
Su Mingyue was a little worried.
The profession of an Executioner was known and feared by all.
What they feared was not the profession itself, but the tragic fate that befell them when they were entangled with bad luck and Evil Qi.
At best, they would die prematurely; at worst, their entire family would suffer.
Even if they safely passed their prime, in old age, with declining Qi and blood, misfortune would be unavoidable.
Su Mingyue had witnessed Shen Nian's plight, which made her even more worried about Shen Tianxing, and thus she spent her efforts searching for Qi and blood Spirit Medicine for him.
Shen Tianxing felt her concern, and the tenderness in his eyes deepened as he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Instead, you should go to the mountains less often, it's too dangerous."
Although they lived by selling herbs, Shen Tianxing had another plan in mind.
He wanted to help her escape this predicament.
"Big Brother Shen doesn't need to worry, I'll be fine with Dad. It's a pity I didn't find any Spirit Medicine to boost Qi and blood this time."
Her mood was a bit low, clearly annoyed that she hadn't found any Spirit Medicine to strengthen Qi and blood in the past two days.
Su Mingyue was determined to help Shen Tianxing because she knew that an Executioner needed strong Qi and blood to shake off the entanglement of Evil Qi.
Shen Tianxing smiled gently; he clearly understood the little girl's thoughts.
"You don't need to worry about me; I don't lack Qi and blood herbs now."
"By the way, are you going to sell herbs?"
Shen Tianxing changed the subject to prevent Su Mingyue from overthinking, and at the same time, he decided that he would think of a way to help them find another livelihood later.
"Tianxing, we just sold our herbs. We haven't been back to our hometown for a while, so we plan to visit relatives in Tianyuan City."
Su Zhong said with a chuckle.
Compared to last time, the fear in Su Zhong's eyes was noticeably less.
"Big Brother Shen, I'll come to see you when I get back."
Su Mingyue's beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons.
They had just returned from collecting herbs these past few days and were in a hurry to travel again, so they really didn't have much time to chat with Shen Tianxing.
Su Mingyue actually wanted to spend time alone with Big Brother Shen.
"Alright, when you two return, Big Brother Shen will treat you to a meal."
The Great Qi Imperial Dynasty had a vast territory, and the distance between each major city was also very great, so far that even between the closest major cities, there were hundreds of thousands of miles.
However, this did not affect people's travel!
Not to mention the powerful imperial court, even those merchant associations, as long as the price was right, could allow guests to reach any place safely and quickly.
Even crossing the Great Qi Imperial Dynasty to another Imperial Dynasty in a single day was an easy matter.
These merchant associations all had flying boat stations outside the imperial city, with fair prices and convenient travel.
Although the imperial city was far from Tianyuan City, taking a flying boat only took a little over two hours, and the price was not expensive, affordable even for commoners.
Some things could wait until they returned.
"Okay, it's a deal! Big Brother Shen, goodbye!"
After saying their goodbyes, Su Mingyue and Su Zhong left once again.
