I Can Strengthen Everything

"Thank you, My Lady."

Fang Xing didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit.

This was an excellent item for breaking through to a new Cultivation realm.

After enhancing it in the future, he could use it to break through a major bottleneck.

After all, this thing was extremely rare.

It couldn’t be wasted.

"You’re on your own for the rest of the time. I have to go out. If anything special comes up, you can contact me."

Hong Miaojin said.

Fang Xing nodded.

He didn’t really care where Hong Miaojin was going.

They would just leave together when the time came anyway.

He felt more at ease by himself.

...

After watching Hong Miaojin leave, Fang Xing turned and entered his room.

He released his Primordial Spirit Power, invisibly erecting a Divine Soul Barrier to prevent anyone from spying on him.

Then, Fang Xing took out three treasures.

The Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit, the Phoenix Essence Golden Core, and the reward from Crown Prince Chu—the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror!

It could form a world of its own.

’This is definitely a treasure.’

Forcing out a drop of his essence blood, Fang Xing immediately began the Refinement process.

The Blood Sacrifice Technique was faster and more efficient.

After imprinting his mark on it and establishing a faint mental connection with the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror, Fang Xing absorbed it into his body to nurture it.

It was a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure; with his current Power, he couldn’t even unleash a tenth of its might.

The gap was too great. He would have to nurture it with his blood and slowly deepen the connection over time.

Once his Cultivation increased in the future, this supreme treasure would be able to display its powerful effects.

For now, he could only use the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror as a super-sized Storage Pouch.

As for the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror’s other abilities, he could explore them slowly.

After completing the simple Refinement, Fang Xing pondered for a moment before putting away the Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit.

He couldn’t enhance the Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit right now. The only thing he could enhance was this Phoenix Essence Golden Core.

’It contains the blood of an Ancient Phoenix. I wonder what changes this Golden Core will undergo after I enhance it...’

Gazing at the Phoenix Essence Golden Core, a curious glint appeared in Fang Xing’s eyes.

What kind of Golden Core it would become after enhancement was an unknown.

However, he had a feeling it wouldn’t be too bad.

’One hundred twenty thousand... After this enhancement, my Enhancement Points will be bottomed out.’

The thought flashed through his mind. Calming himself, Fang Xing immediately began the enhancement.

BUZZ—!

A crimson light enveloped the Golden Core, causing it to tremble.

A sound like a phoenix’s cry seemed to emerge from within the Golden Core.

[A Top Grade Phoenix Essence Golden Core has been successfully enhanced. You have obtained a Top Grade Nirvana Golden Core!]

’Nirvana Golden Core...’

Looking at the Golden Core in his hand, Fang Xing’s pupils contracted.

As he examined the information about the Nirvana Golden Core, a storm of shock raged in his heart.

’Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth from the ashes!’

’This is incredible!’

Fang Xing stared at the Nirvana Golden Core in his hand, his heart reeling from the shock.

The Nirvana Golden Core possessed an extremely terrifying effect.

Life and Death Nirvana!

After consuming the Nirvana Golden Core, its medicinal power would fuse with his body. Not only would it enhance his Power, but its most terrifying aspect lay in the word "Nirvana."

If he were to suffer a fatal injury, he could, like a phoenix, undergo Nirvana Rebirth.

However, this Nirvana was a passive ability.

It would only trigger the Nirvana Golden Core’s ability when he was fatally wounded, on the verge of death, or even about to die.

The conditions were very strict.

It would only trigger when he was down to his last breath, with just a sliver of consciousness remaining.

After Nirvana, he would be reborn from the ashes!

Not only would it heal all his injuries, but it would also allow his Cultivation to rise to the next level.

’It only triggers on my last breath... It seems it will only be truly useful if I encounter a grave danger.’

Fang Xing thought to himself.

Gazing at the Nirvana Golden Core, he came back to his senses, then immediately put the Golden Core in his mouth and swallowed it.

He had to refine it first and let it merge with his body.

The Nirvana Golden Core wasn’t something you waited to swallow until you were truly on your last breath.

Instead, it had to be consumed and refined beforehand, so it could be fully activated at the moment of life and death.

If he really waited until he was on his last breath, he wouldn’t even have the ability to refine it.

Although he couldn’t undergo Nirvana Rebirth right now,

he could still use the Nirvana Golden Core’s power to improve his own Cultivation.

Currently, his Cultivation had already been polished to the limit of the True Gang Fourth Layer.

With the help of the Nirvana Golden Core’s medicinal power, he felt that breaking through to the True Gang Fifth Layer wouldn’t be a major problem.

As he swallowed the Golden Core, the cry of a phoenix instantly resounded within his body.

Behind him, the faint illusory image of a phoenix appeared.

He circulated the Longevity Technique at full power, absorbing the Nirvana Golden Core’s energy.

A faint golden light began to radiate from him, enveloping his entire body.

He focused his mind on absorption, forgetting everything else.

Fang Xing remained completely motionless.

The medicinal power of the Golden Core within him began to slowly merge with his body under the influence of the Longevity Technique.

Going from the True Gang Fourth Layer to the Fifth Layer was simply a process of accumulation.

He just needed to keep accumulating power and then break through in one go.

This wasn’t a major obstacle for him.

Even though his was a Tenth Grade Gang Qi, requiring dozens of times more energy to break through than his peers,

having polished his foundation to the limit, he was ninety percent confident he could break through with the power of the Golden Core.

The stronger the quality of one’s Gang Qi, the more power it consumed.

To obtain strength far surpassing one’s peers, one naturally had to pay a corresponding price.

There was no such thing as gaining strength from nothing.

It all depended on one’s own accumulation.

...

Time flowed by, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.

As the final day of the Martial Dao Tournament approached, the atmosphere surrounding the event reached its peak.

The entire Celestial Star Island was abuzz with unprecedented excitement.

The Ten Great Upper Sects and various other factions had all gathered.

It could be called a grand event of a scale never seen before.

The influence of this once-a-decade Martial Dao grand gathering was self-evident.

Even in the context of the entire Great Jing, it was a top-tier event.

However, Fang Xing was completely unaware of all this.

Inside his room in the courtyard, Fang Xing sat cross-legged.

His figure was completely motionless.

BUZZ—!!

A powerful fluctuation swept out, and the air rippled as if it were water.
