Chapter 86 - 75: The Imperial Army’s Arrival, All Sects Surround and Blockade_2
Gu Wen re-entered meditation to cultivate and internally viewed the Cultivation Technique "Xuanling Tri-Element Qi."
Compared to the Spiritual Jade Body Protection Skill which only protected and strengthened the internal organs and bones, allowing for bloodshed upon attack but not fatal wounds, the Xuanling Tri-Element Qi could leave him unharmed, dividing the skill into Three Levels: [Armored Spirit], [Jade Spirit], [Xuanling].
The First Level, Armored Spirit, condensed a thin layer of ’Armored Spirit’ over the body surface, similar to a cuticle, with a defensive power comparable to chain mail.
It seemed useless at first. Gu Wen’s armor was not even worth mentioning, but the Spirit Armor was weightless and permanent. Moreover, the main purpose of Body Protection Skills was to reduce damage. If one didn’t block or dodge and took the attack head-on, unless there was a huge disparity in strength, even the best Body Protection Skills would be useless.
High-intensity defense meant high consumption, and Gu Wen didn’t want to adopt a turtle strategy; otherwise, what use would his understanding of the Flame Spear be?
With the Armored Spirit, if he were to encounter a sneak attack similar to the one on the ship, Gu Wen could withstand it without dodging.
[Heavenly Marrow for one year]
[Xuanling Tri-Element Qi First Level, requires six years of Heavenly Marrow]
I’m short on money!
Gu Wen entered into deep meditation, cultivating and understanding bit by bit the "Xuanling Tri-Element Qi." In the middle of the night, the White Immortal, who was worshiped in the Mountain God Temple, returned, their movement waking him. It was a habit he had developed over the years; he would awake at the slightest disturbance, even during meditation.
