34: Methods of building physical constitution

"Ding, an excellent-grade prodigy has been discovered; the System has recorded the information."

Grade: Excellent

Age: 16

Bone Structure: 21

Cultivation: Third Level of the Qi Refining Realm

Physique: None

...A System prompt sounded in Qin Dong's ear. This female Disciple had actually triggered the effect of Cleansing the Marrow and Expelling Impurities while cultivating the Yuntian Canon just now.

It had forcibly increased her bone structure by a few points, barely making her an excellent-grade prodigy.

"It doesn't matter who I am. Now, I ask and you answer. Do you understand?"

Wang Wantang frowned slightly, instinctively feeling a hint of resistance, but she still nodded her head gently.

"What is your name?"

"Wang Wantang."

"Who told you to come here?"

"Senior Brother Yan."

"How long have you lived here?"

"A little over five days."

"Have you offended anyone?"

Hearing this, a figure flashed through Wang Wantang's mind. In that split second, she didn't admit it, instead shaking her head while feigning composure.

Her momentary hesitation didn't escape Qin Dong's perception, but he didn't dwell on it.

If she didn't want to say, so be it. After all, it wasn't he, Qin Dong, who had offended anyone.

Five days was enough time for the people of Black Blood Mountain City to investigate their family's background thoroughly if the matter had leaked.

Even if they moved away now, Black Blood Mountain City would rather kill the innocent than let the target go.

A single word decided their fate; death was imminent.

Qin Dong slowly approached the small courtyard. His already handsome face appeared exceptionally profound under the moonlight.

His gaze was like the brightest stars in the night sky, both calm and resolute.

He looked like a transcendent Immortal descending to the world.

Watching Qin Dong's extraordinarily elegant figure approach, Wang Wantang couldn't help but feel a surge of inexplicable emotion.

Her heart couldn't help but thud-thud in acceleration.

Qin Dong also got a clear look at this female Disciple's attire and appearance. She was wearing the white Daoist robe of an Outer Sect Disciple.

Her hair was tied with a jade crown, and she had a bit of baby fat on her face, but it wasn't hard to see she was a beauty in the making.

Especially her bright, spirited eyes; one look at them would naturally evoke a sense of goodwill.

She was as pure and lovely as the girl next door.

Wang Wantang considered herself to have a cold personality; even among those Core Disciples, few could make her heart flutter.

But... at this moment, she was slightly losing her composure.

Wow, this Senior Brother is so good-looking. I've never seen anyone like him in my life.

He's exactly my type!

"Senior Brother..."

Wang Wantang spoke softly with some fluster, her voice carrying an imperceptible tremor.

This strange Senior Brother was handsome, but why was he looking at her with such a strange expression?

Could he be thinking of suddenly lunging forward and then roughly grabbing her by the neck?

And then treat her with madness and cruelty, doing whatever he pleased?

But we just met... but he's so handsome.

What if he really does that?

Ugh... that's not okay either.

But then... I wouldn't be able to resist. I could only suffer through the torment, begging for mercy in vain.

As Wang Wantang imagined the scene, her face turned red to the tips of her ears, and her body went limp before she could help it.

"Senior Brother, when you choke me, please do it a little harder... Wantang begs you."

A trace of drool escaped the corner of Wang Wantang's mouth.

Seeing this scene, Qin Dong's face was covered in black lines.

Oh no, have I encountered some kind of pervert?

How terrifying. I need to run away quickly.

Qin Dong casually threw out a dozen or so Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and in the next moment, he activated Swimming Dragon Steps to flee.

As for why he left some Spirit Stones, it was because she was at least an excellent-grade prodigy, so he gave her a few cultivation resources.

Try your best to stay alive.

"These are Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Seeing him leave, Wang Wantang was originally a bit disappointed.

But after she picked up the Spirit Stones before her, she was instantly shocked by his generosity.

For Outer Sect Disciples like them, their monthly cultivation resources were only five Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

These dozen or so Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to over a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

This strange Senior Brother was so generous, giving her so many cultivation resources the moment they met. What exactly were his intentions?

What did this mean?

Was it a token of affection like in the mortal world?

Could it be that this strange Senior Brother likes this kind of "playing hard to get" style?

...Qin Dong returned to the top of One Pillar Supporting Heaven Peak, standing before the massive Core Disciple palace feeling somewhat lost.

Taking a deep breath, he pushed the door open the next moment like a hero facing a dragon.

Immediately, sparks flew. The author knows you don't like this kind of vulgar plot, so with tears, it's skipped... After a few thousand words of description, dawn broke, and a faint light spilled down.

Qin Dong sat upright, looking as solemn as a Saint or a Buddha.

At this moment, his consciousness was inside the system space, checking his gains from last night.

First was the Earth-Tier Low Grade technique Five Immortals Lightning Curse. This was a Lightning-type techniques, through the Cultivator's True Essence conversion into lightning to strike enemies.

For Cultivators with a natural affinity for lightning, it could naturally exert greater power.

Unfortunately, Qin Dong possessed the Thick Earth Spirit Body, which was naturally incompatible with this lightning technique. The difficulty of cultivating it was quite high, so he could only put it away for other uses.

Qin Dong circulated a strange technique. Suddenly, a trace of Heart Demon Evil Qi manifested in his mind, but it was completely annihilated in the next moment.

Subsequently, a steady stream of Righteous Path Spiritual Qi emerged from his Meridians.

These were the Righteous Path Mind-Cultivation Techniques Qin Dong practiced, which took the initiative to protect their Host and attack upon sensing the Heart Demon Evil Qi.

What Qin Dong had just circulated was the Soul Slaughtering Demonic Art practiced by that Cultivator surnamed Han.

The difference was that through the System's analysis,

Qin Dong discovered that this Demonic Technique actually had two cultivation paths.

One was naturally the path of a demonic Cultivator, devouring the Bloodlines and souls of one's own kin to strengthen oneself.

Although this path could allow for rapid progress in the early stages by using Yao Beast blood,

if one did not devour the Bloodlines and souls of their own kin in the later stages, various demonic symptoms would gradually appear until their cultivation completely regressed to zero.

Faced with their cultivation gradually falling, most people would certainly be unwilling to lose their power and would thus violate the taboo.

The second path of the Soul Slaughtering Demonic Art ran contrary to the first. It also allowed the use of Yao Beast essence blood to improve in the early stages.

Once demonic symptoms occurred, one could use the lacquer bone jade flower along with a secret art of feigning death to reverse the turbid Qi of heaven and earth.

This would achieve the goal of deceiving heaven and earth and transferring the turbid Qi.

This path could forge an Acquired Physique!

This Physique was called the Soul Sealing Body. Once mastered, the body could serve as a vessel to Seal those souls that had left their bodies.

Qin Dong was somewhat tempted. These types of Physiques did not interfere with each other; he had even seen a terrifying Prodigy with three different Physiques wandering around.

Although the Soul Sealing Body was somewhat useless now and couldn't provide a bonus to cultivation speed,

once a Cultivator reached the Golden Core Realm, their soul strength would increase greatly. Instances of Golden Core remnant souls escaping through Possession were not unheard of in Donglin Prefecture.

Since he would face Black Blood Mountain City sooner or later, obtaining an extra Physique was another trump card.

Qin Dong nodded. He had already decided that while resolving the matter of the Ji Clan Elder, he would also collect Yao Beast blood to Cultivate the Soul Slaughtering Demonic Art.

Host: Qin Dong

Cultivation: Late Stage Foundation Establishment Realm (12%)

Techniques: Yellow Rank Cultivation Method x126, Mysterious Tier Cultivation Technique x24, Earth-Tier Techniques x4, Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique x1

Physique: Thick Earth Spirit Body

top-up points: 3950

From his trip to Cloud Sword City, Qin Dong gained one Cultivation Technique and 350 Spirit Stones from the Cultivator surnamed Han, and as many as 3,600 Spirit Stones from the Ji Family siblings.

Of course, those 3,600 Spirit Stones included a portion of the deposit.

At that time, Qin Dong had agreed to first represent himself and go to the Ji Family to investigate the situation. If he had the ability to treat it, then all the better; if it was beyond him, there would be nothing he could do.

Mainly, the Ji siblings still held some hope for Zhang Yizhi. After all, as a Saint-level figure, contacting a Nascent Soul True Lord would surely be much easier for him than for them.

Now that he had calmed down, Qin Dong began to think about the Ji Family's schemes.

Logically speaking, Zhang Yizhi and the others were on the opposite side of Black Blood Mountain City.

But this wasn't a dangerous situation.

Because as early as three years ago, a certain Nascent Soul True Lord from the Cloud Heaven Sect had already paid a visit to Black Blood Mountain City.

How could a mere power established for a few hundred years be qualified to directly face a behemoth like the Nine Sects?

The Nascent Soul True Lord of Black Blood Mountain City, who had been in seclusion for many years, appeared in person and bowed to give the Cloud Heaven Sect a guarantee that they would only send Cultivators of the same Realm to take action, which finally sent the man away.

Black Blood Mountain City was very smart; they could distinguish between being destroyed now and being destroyed in a century or two.

Besides, there has never been a shortage of brilliant and talented individuals since ancient times. If this stubborn Saint named Zhang died halfway, wouldn't Black Blood Mountain City be able to rest easy again?

With this mindset, although Black Blood Mountain City was extremely hostile to the three of them, they were not yet so radical as to directly send high-level Cultivators for an assassination.

However, there would still be some overt and covert attacks from peers in Black Blood Mountain City.

Given the nature of the evil Cultivators in Black Blood Mountain City, as long as Zhang Yizhi and he left the Cloud Heaven Sect's sphere of influence, they would likely immediately face the desperate situation of a Golden Core Ancestor blocking their path.

After all, they wouldn't care about martial ethics.

For Qin Dong to step outside the Cloud Heaven Sect, the first thing he needed to consider was self-preservation; he had to be fully prepared.

In terms of cultivation, he was already at the Late Stage Foundation Establishment, and he couldn't improve further in a short time. As for techniques, he was barely getting by.

Regarding his physical body, as his cultivation improved, the help from the Thick Earth Spirit Body would also increase, giving his body a defense comparable to a High Grade Yellow Rank Spiritual Artifact.

At present, Qin Dong's only weakness was auxiliary items.

It had to be said that Qin Dong was quite a failure as a transmigrator.

He didn't know how to refine Qi, refine pills, or make Talismans. Aside from being a weapons master, he didn't have any proper sub-professions.

He didn't need to be an expert in these, but he couldn't have none at all.

"I'll discuss this later. Buying Talismans and Medicinal Pills for survival is the priority."

"Eh? The System shop has actually updated. Let me see what good things have been added."

"What! A special-offer Earth-Tier Low Grade item!"

"Only 998 Spirit Stones!"

Qin Dong licked his lips and decisively placed an order—two orders in a row, in fact.

If you ask why, it's because there was a limit of two; otherwise, he would have definitely bought them all.

In Donglin Prefecture, even the poorest broken Earth-Tier Low Grade item is worth at least 50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Where else could you buy such a cheap Earth-Tier Low Grade item for only 998?

Isn't this a massive profit?

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for purchasing a special-offer Earth-Tier Low Grade item."

"Ding, the item has been delivered to the system space."

"Ding, items sold are non-refundable and non-exchangeable."

Starry River Bottle! Universe Re-creation Cauldron... None of those were there.

Qin Dong's eyebrows twitched as he looked at the two pairs of brand-new Earth-Tier Low-Grade straw sandals in the system space, falling into a long silence.
