Chapter 398: Scheming (II)
Lin Zheyu looked at the corpse on the ground and speculated inwardly, Trash at this level of strength dares to assassinate me? Aside from the forces of that unknown demon god, I should not have offended anyone else. Could this fellow be an enemy of the Wuji Sect or my master?He crouched down and searched the body for a while, but found no identifying items. From the man, he only obtained two bottles of spirit liquid, some silver, and several bottles of medicinal pills.
"Two bottles of spirit liquid, eh? Not bad. These Force Transformation realm martial artists are quite wealthy, carrying precious items like spirit liquid on them at all times," Lin Zheyu said with a smile.
Lin Zheyu felt neither fear nor aversion toward these Force Transformation realm assassins. On the contrary, he welcomed more of them. Anyone stronger would be somewhat impolite. Sending a Grandmaster realm expert to deal with a Marrow Refining realm junior like him would be excessive.
After seeing Jiang Jun's dharma artifacts, Lin Zheyu had no desire to encounter Grandmaster realm experts. According to his senior brother, once one advanced to the Grandmaster realm, one had to register at the Directorate of Celestial Observation and become a member, and would receive their own dharma artifacts. Against a Grandmaster without dharma artifacts, Lin Zheyu still had hope of victory, or at worst, escape. But if the opponent possessed dharma artifacts, he would stand no chance at all.
After tossing the corpse into the river, Lin Zheyu turned and walked toward Wuling City. Four days had passed since his last limit breakthrough. It was time to harvest another wave of Origin Force.
With my current recovery ability, after breaking my limit and eating freely, I can return to peak condition in less than three days. Unfortunately, my spirit does not recover so easily. Otherwise, I could shorten the interval between limit breakthroughs.
His physique had been reforged by golden blood qi, tempered by the Furnace Tempering Body Technique, and further refined under the Primordial Wuji True Technique. Both the strength of his physique and his recovery ability had reached astonishing levels. Unfortunately, although his spirit and spiritual soul had grown much stronger, their recovery remained as slow as before.
Lin Zheyu even felt that four days merely allowed his spirit and spiritual soul to barely return to peak condition. That was only because the Sacred Evolution Spirit Nurturing Art, the Tortoise Breath True Technique, and other life-preserving techniques were working together. Otherwise, such a powerful spirit and spiritual soul would require even more time to recover.
Lin Zheyu did not hurry back to the sect. Instead, he went to the courtyard he had rented and began cultivating the Furnace Tempering Body Technique. Although this technique had exhausted its latent potential and offered minimal improvement to his physique, its consumption of blood qi far surpassed other techniques. While cultivating it, he could also deplete his physical strength and spirit and spiritual soul at the same time, achieving two goals at once.
Vast blood qi energy began circulating, and Lin Zheyu could hear rumbling sounds within his body. A faint golden blood qi spread from him, condensing into a golden blood qi dragon around his form.
Time passed slowly. After more than two hours, Lin Zheyu stopped cultivating. Under the frenzied circulation of the Furnace Tempering Body Technique, blood qi energy five times that of an ordinary person had been completely exhausted, and both his physical strength and spirit had been significantly drained.
