I Can Strengthen Everything

"They weren't moved. They were killed by people from a Martial Dao Upper Sect…"

Listening to the beggars' chatter, Fang Xing instantly understood what had happened.

'Supreme Profound Upper Sect!'

Listening closely, Fang Xing caught two words from their conversation.

Supreme Profound!

'In all likelihood, the people from the Supreme Profound Upper Sect were the ones who did this.'

'It's this Sect again…'

Fang Xing's expression darkened.

The people he fought last time were also from the Supreme Profound Upper Sect.

And this time, people from the Supreme Profound Upper Sect had stolen the kill.

'I'll have to deal with them sooner or later,' Fang Xing thought. 'This Sect is getting way too arrogant.'

It was the same last time in Jiang Province, with people from the Supreme Profound Upper Sect.

'Forget it. I should just head back for now.'

Since people from the Supreme Profound Upper Sect had stolen the kill, he had no choice but to leave.

It was a shame, but the haul from this trip had already been quite good.

Missing the last one was the only blemish.

「The next day.」

Fang Xing returned to Cang Province.

The Observatory, Marshal's Mansion.

Hong Miaojin looked at the sack of heads, then back at Fang Xing.

'Why is it all heads?'

'Not a single complete corpse…'

'Does this guy have some sort of special hobby?'

Watching Fang Xing, she quickly snapped out of it. "Have all those Black Death Sect strongholds been cleared out?"

Fang Xing nodded. "Yes, they've been cleared. Including the one in Black Mountain County, I cleared out five. However, the last stronghold was dealt with by people from the Supreme Profound Upper Sect. It's a bit of a shame."

Hong Miaojin was speechless.

'He cleared out five and still thinks it's a shame.'

Looking at Fang Xing, Hong Miaojin felt her heart skip a beat. Composing herself, she asked, "Did you run into any danger?"

Fang Xing shook his head. "No danger. It was all pretty easy."

'Pretty easy…'

'Maybe I need to increase the difficulty next time…'

As the thought crossed her mind, Hong Miaojin looked at him and said, "You did an excellent job on this mission, far exceeding expectations. Take these heads to the Celestial Hall for registration. I've already sent word, so you'll receive an additional Merit reward."

"Thank you, Marshal." Fang Xing bowed and put away the Storage Pouch containing the heads. Then, he took out another Storage Pouch and handed it to Hong Miaojin. "Marshal, here is three hundred thousand gold. It's the money I borrowed from you, and the rest is a small token of my appreciation."

Looking at the Storage Pouch, Hong Miaojin smiled. "I'd forgotten all about it. Well, I'll accept it."

"You've worked hard. Go and get some rest."

"I'll take my leave, then."

Fang Xing nodded, gave a final bow, and turned to leave.

Watching Fang Xing's departing figure, the corners of Hong Miaojin's lips curled into a smile.

'This guy is just so effective,' she thought. 'Next time… hmm, I should have Zhang Xuan take him under his wing. It's time to test him a little…'

The thought was fleeting. With a wave of her hand, she put away the Storage Pouch full of gold.

...

At the Celestial Hall, after completing the registration and handover, Fang Xing looked at the Merit points on his waist token.

He had broken the 400,000 mark!

With the main reward and the bonus, this single mission had earned him more Merit than ten regular Commander missions combined.

Leaving the Observatory, Fang Xing returned to Qingfeng Villa.

The haul from this trip was astonishing.

Even though he hadn't managed to clear out the final stronghold, it was still a huge windfall.

In the Training Room, Fang Xing took out the refined Essences.

Eleven True Qi Perfection Essences.

There were plenty of other Essences as well.

From those at the Late Stage of True Qi and the Peak of True Qi Realm, there were about ten in total.

Looking at these Qi Blood Essences, Fang Xing enhanced all of them in one go.

A crimson light enveloped them.

One by one, the Qi Blood Essences transformed into Divine True Origin!

Although it cost slightly less than enhancing Demon and Monster Cores of the same level, Fang Xing still used up over six hundred thousand Enhancement Points.

His stockpile of over 1.7 million Enhancement Points quickly dwindled to around 1.05 million.

Looking at the pile of Divine True Origin, he felt a surge of excitement.

'I wonder if this True Origin will improve my Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Force…'

The thought flashed through Fang Xing's mind.

The primary function of Divine True Origin was to enhance True Qi.

Absorbing True Origin previously had no effect on his Dragon's Roar Iron Cloth Shirt.

'I'll give it a try.'

Picking up a Divine True Origin from a Late Stage of True Qi cultivator, Fang Xing popped it in his mouth, swallowed, and immediately began circulating his technique to absorb it.

More than half a day later, he opened his eyes.

'The effect is minimal… It seems only Divine Beast Essences enhanced from Demon and Monster Cores will do the trick.'

After this test, Fang Xing reached a conclusion.

It provided a slight boost, but the effect was negligible.

A single Divine True Origin from the Late Stage of True Qi Realm could barely make a dent in improving this Heaven-grade Body Refinement Divine Skill.

'In that case, I'll focus everything on raising my Cultivation.'

Fang Xing calmed himself, placed a Divine True Origin from a Late Stage of True Qi cultivator in his mouth, and began to absorb it by circulating his Longevity Technique.

The boost that Divine True Origin provided to his True Qi was significant.

After refining a single one, he could clearly feel his Cultivation grow and his Power deepen.

With his full focus, Fang Xing devoted himself completely to the process.

With the help of these Divine True Origins, he could achieve a massive boost in power.

...

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Training Room at Qingfeng Villa, Fang Xing slowly opened his eyes.

In that half-month, he had absorbed all the Divine True Origins except for the eleven from the True Qi Perfect Realm.

He had successfully tempered his Third Divine Organ. Of the Five Major Divine Organs, three were now refined.

With the refinement of his Lung Divine Organ, his Life Vitality had also increased.

His Cultivation had also successfully advanced to the True Qi Realm Eighth Layer.

'It looks like breaking through to the Peak of True Qi Realm with the remaining Divine True Origins shouldn't be a problem.'
