67: Difficulties of Body Refining

In a remote wilderness.

Many Black-Robed Men were, as usual, gathered together to report on their recent activities.

Ever since the Night Watch discovered the corpses implanted with Evil Restraining Nails.

The Night Watch began to extensively search for these corpses during their operations, causing many corpses to be destroyed before they could even transform into evil spirits.

This severely impacted their plans.

Although they were also constantly hunting the Night Watch.

However, the Night Watch had a large number of members and gradually began to group together in large numbers, making it difficult for them to strike.

At the same time, they were clearly understaffed.

In addition, there were some unexpected powerhouses among the Night Watch, which led to their own losses.

Especially after hearing that their Vice Leader had died in the area of the Team Ding Night Watch, everyone was shocked!

They all knew very well.

This Vice Leader had reached the Qi and Blood Manifestation realm!

Logically speaking... he was an invincible existence among the Entering Martial Realm.

Yet now he was dead!

And he died in the hands of the weakest Team Ding Night Watch.

"Could it be that a Qi Martial Realm powerhouse made a move!?"

They subconsciously believed that a Qi Martial Realm powerhouse must have intervened, leading to the Vice Leader's death in battle.

The Black-Robed Leader shook his head.

If a Qi Martial Realm powerhouse had been involved.

He would not have failed to receive any news.

But the Vice Leader's death now was indeed very unusual.

"I will personally investigate this matter."

The Black-Robed Leader said in a deep voice.

No matter the reason.

He had to find out who killed the Vice Leader.

And he didn't have to worry about not finding this person.

On the opponent's body, there would be a trace of the Vice Leader's aura remaining after his death.

With this aura.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to find this person... On the Night Watch Division's side.

The operation to eradicate evil spirits was still ongoing.

Although the operations during this period caused some casualties to the Night Watch, the number of evil spirits was also effectively controlled.

Most importantly... a large number of corpses that formed evil spirits were destroyed.

They were controlled from the source; as long as there were no more of these corpses, evil spirits would not continuously be born.

Although Xiao Shi's team was one person short.

Their daily operations continued.

By now.

Each of them had already accumulated a lot of contribution points.

The contribution points earned just these past few days were almost comparable to the contribution points they would earn from a year's worth of missions.

And after successfully putting on the martial emperor mask, Xiao Shi no longer needed to remain in the Entering Martial Realm.

He felt that he could begin planning to assault the Qi Martial Realm.

Xiao Shi always had a sense of urgency in his heart.

Although he had not encountered any semi-adult or adult evil spirits to date.

He did not relax his vigilance because of this.

He was always worried about this potential threat.

He wanted to become stronger at all times.

However.

The transition from the Entering Martial Realm to the Qi Martial Realm was a leap across a major realm.

It required a corresponding breakthrough method.

And the breakthrough methods for the Qi Martial Realm were considered secret in various sects.

Only by reaching the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level and being promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple could one obtain the Qi Martial Realm breakthrough method from the sect.

Although Xiao Shi couldn't get the Qi Martial Realm breakthrough method right now.

He could first make breakthroughs in his physical body.

Immediately, he took out a jade slip.

It was the jade slip that recorded the body-refining cultivation technique, the "Nine Refinements Vajra Body."

Previously, since Xiao Shi had not yet completed nine body refinements, the information he saw in the jade slip was limited.

Now, after dripping fresh blood onto the jade slip.

And letting the jade slip absorb it.

Xiao Shi finally saw the complete content of the "Nine Refinements Vajra Body" body-refining cultivation technique.

The core of this body-refining cultivation technique was to refine a Vajra Body.

According to the description in the cultivation technique.

Once the Vajra Body was cultivated, not only would one be invincible in the Qi Martial Realm, but the physical body would also reach a strength comparable to the Blood Martial Realm!

The cultivation of the Vajra Body was mainly divided into three steps.

These were Vajra Skin, Vajra Tendons, and Vajra Bones!

The first to be cultivated was the Vajra Skin.

The cultivation method was to use the special method of the Nine Refinements Vajra Body, combined with natural treasures, for cultivation.

However, in terms of natural treasures, Entering Martial Rank natural treasures were no longer very effective; Qi Warrior Grade natural treasures were needed to achieve good results.

This gave Xiao Shi a headache.

Now it was easy for him to obtain Entering Martial Rank items.

But Qi Warrior Grade items... that was very difficult.

To date.

He only had one Qi Warrior Grade item.

Which was the cultivation technique jade slip in his hand that recorded the "Nine Refinements Vajra Body."

This was dropped when he first killed a Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm Warrior.

If one were to look at the pattern of common-grade creatures dropping Entering Martial Rank items.

To drop Qi Warrior Grade items by killing Martial Warrior of the Entrance to Martial Realm (evil spirits).

The number of kills would have to reach at least several thousand for a second drop to be possible.

But the most frustrating thing was... even if a Qi Warrior Grade item dropped, it might not necessarily be a natural treasure.

If Qi Warrior Grade natural treasures were also considered high-quality items, then only by killing powerful Qi Martial Realm warriors would there be a higher chance of them dropping.

Although weaker Qi Martial Realm warriors might also drop natural treasures, the probability would not be too high.

And the possibility of Qi Warrior Grade natural treasures dropping from killing Martial Warrior of the Entrance to Martial Realm (evil spirits) was even more minuscule.

This made Xiao Shi realize that obtaining Qi Warrior Grade natural treasures.

Was extremely difficult!

Moreover, the natural treasures required for cultivating the "Nine Refinements Vajra Body" were even more numerous than those needed in the Entering Martial Realm.

In the Entering Martial Realm, one natural treasure could raise one's level.

But for the cultivation of the "Nine Refinements Vajra Body," the natural treasures required just for cultivating the Vajra Skin were far more than one.

"Body refining is indeed not an easy task!"

Xiao Shi felt very emotional about this.

Body refining in the Entering Martial Realm was already very difficult for ordinary people.

After all, it would undoubtedly be a pipe dream for an ordinary person to obtain nine natural treasures.

However, upon reaching the Qi Martial Realm... the difficulty of body refining not only did not decrease but instead increased even further.

Xiao Shi even wondered if anyone in this world could cultivate the Vajra Body?

"Currently, Entering Martial Rank items are no longer very meaningful to me; I need Qi Warrior Grade items more..."

Xiao Shi understood his biggest current problem.

It was that Qi Warrior Grade items were too difficult to obtain.

Other than dropping them by killing a large number of Martial Warrior of the Entrance to Martial Realm (evil spirits), there seemed to be no other better method.

"I just don't know if I... can kill a Qi Martial Realm warrior right now?"

Xiao Shi pondered this thoughtfully.

The gap between the Entering Martial Realm and the Qi Martial Realm was immense.

Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for an Entering Martial Realm warrior to kill a Qi Martial Realm warrior across ranks.

Even an Entering Martial Realm warrior who had undergone nine body refinements could not do it.

But Xiao Shi had now surpassed an Entering Martial Realm warrior who had undergone nine body refinements... What they couldn't do... didn't mean he couldn't do it either!
