Chapter 26: Mid-Stage Qi Refinement (1/2)
[Sturdy Skin: Skin strengthened by 230%, spiritual qi damage resistance increased by 50 points. Duration: ∞] (−)
[Cool Skin: Increases Fire Resistance by 50 points. Duration: ∞] (−)
These two buffs were the result of Jiang Li's hard work and laborious acting.
In addition, as for the [Accelerated Qi Recovery], it was so common that he himself had many of those pills, so it was not considered a gain from today.
He touched his own skin. It was tough and stiff. He could not even pinch his skin.
He took out his longsword. This was his loot from the journey here.
The sharp edge of the blade pressed against his wrist, and he slashed with all his might.
The friction between the edge and the skin was extremely difficult to feel. With a creak, even the slightest bit of force would cause a gap to appear.
After taking the sword away, he observed it carefully. There was a shallow cut on the surface of the skin and the cuticle. It looked like a white line that would disappear after being wiped.
Jiang Li's constitution had already exceeded five points originally, so all aspects of his body far surpassed ordinary mortals.
With the addition of the [Sturdy Skin], his physical defense had increased by more than three times. It was already quite difficult for him to injure himself.
Jiang Li lit another lamp and placed his palm on the flickering flame, allowing it to roast his skin.
It was slightly warm and the temperature was slowly rising. It was not until five minutes later that he felt pain in his palm.
Was 50 points of fire resistance already that terrifying? Although the power of mortal fire and spirit fire was vastly different, as long as he continued stacking them together, one day… hehehe…
Oh right, there were still two bottles of pills.
Jiang Li picked up two porcelain bottles and cursed silently.
He was clearly unsatisfied with these two bottles of pills.
[Name: Clear Sight Pill]
[Type: Medicinal Pill]
[Grade: Medium-Grade Yellow-Rank]
[Note: If your vision decreases, quickly use the Clear Sight Pill.]
[Name: Blood Recovery Pill]
[Type: Medicinal Pill]
[Grade: Medium-Grade Yellow-Rank]
[Note: No need to fear even if you vomit blood now.]
Jiang Li opened it and counted. There were only five in each bottle.
Forget it. Five should be enough.
He opened the two bottles of pills and directly poured all of them into his mouth.
[Overdose of Clear Sight Pills…]
[Overdose of Blood Recovery Pills…]
After obtaining two more statuses, Jiang Li once again began cultivating the 'Ghost Wood Art' and practicing the three Qi Refinement realm spell techniques.
For three consecutive days, Jiang Li did not leave his room. Even his meals were delivered by Yan Hong.
He showed everyone that he was in a very weak state.
Perhaps no one had deliberately monitored him, but many people knew that he was on a pill-testing mission. It would be too suspicious if he was not injured at all.
Three days later, he walked out of the room with a ”pale” face and entered the outer sect's graveyard to continue his cultivation.
Although his cultivation speed would no longer be raised further whether he went to the graveyard or not, in the eyes of outsiders, he had to put on a disguise. In addition, he needed to find a corpse to practice the Zombie Puppet Technique.
...
Days passed by like this repetitively. Yan Hong and the other high-grade spiritual root disciples crossed the Qi Refinement hurdle within a month and became initial-stage Qi Refinement cultivators.
