Chapter 30: Mountain Crushing Scripture (2/2)
However, if Jiang Li told them that he wanted to train his body… he would be lucky if he did not get scolded.
Thus, he decided to look for the easy-going inner sect senior sister, Little Four, to help him pass through the disciple guards before arriving at the Scripture Storage Pavilion.
After a few selections, he found an incomplete manual of an ancient body refinement technique called the Mountain Crushing Scripture.
This ancient cultivation method was also incomplete. It only contained the contents of Qi Refinement to Foundation realm. There was nothing else after that.
However, the cultivation of a body refinement technique was far less difficult than a Qi Refinement technique. As long as there were not too many conflicts, it was practically possible to seamlessly connect them together, so Jiang Li did not hesitate too much.
He had spent 230 spirit stones in exchange for it.
That was more than half of Jiang Li's hard-earned three months' worth of remuneration, yet it was all gone just like that.
He had already handed over the remaining half to Yan Hong and asked him to help him collect supplies. Therefore, Jiang Li had become a poor man from head to toe.
He pulled back a distance, putting some distance between himself and the cliff wall.
Then, he crossed his arms in front of his chest, his muscles bulging as he leaned to the side and lowered his shoulders. His feet continued to accelerate as he pushed towards the cliff.
Boom! The rock cliff cracked again.
It was said that the Mountain Crushing Scripture was created by a cultivator imitating a beast of antiquity called the Mountain Crushing Ape. When cultivated to the limit, one could use their body to directly smash through the mountain range with boundless power.
However, with Jiang Li's current level, he could only increase his strength and toughen his body.
After bumping into the cliff for a long time, Jiang Li finally ended his physical training for the day. He cut off his supply of spiritual qi and deactivated the Spiritual Armament. His dark skin slowly returned to its original state.
”Junior Brother, you have cultivated for four hours today. If you don't reach six hours, the fee will still be one spirit stone regardless.”
Jiang Li was speechless. He had clearly only used the rock cliff to train, yet they had to collect a spirit stone. Why didn't they just rob him?
However, disciples were not allowed to cause irreparable damage to the other areas of the outer sect, so he could only pay to cultivate here.
After paying the spirit stone, he left the outer sect cultivation area.
”Have you heard? Someone among this year's new disciples has already broken through to the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm!”
”Really? This year's new disciples have only been in the sect for less than half a year, yet someone has already reached the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm?”
”That's right. He broke through two days ago and was praised by the elders of the Cultivation Hall.”
”His talent is probably not much weaker than the inner disciples' geniuses.”
”That's right. The Lecture Elder said that he might not have a chance this year, but he might be able to pass the outer sect competition next year and enter the inner sect.”
”This… sigh… We've already been in the sect for more than two years and we're still stuck at the initial-stage Qi Refinement realm. I'm afraid we'll have to stay in the outer sect for the rest of our lives…”
Jiang Li walked through the bustling outer sect trading area and heard many conversations like this.
In the same batch of outer sect disciples, there was probably no one else who could have such a cultivation speed.
Jiang Li found Yan Hong's stall and asked.
Yu Banxia had already broken through to the mid-stage Qi Refinement realm two days ago.
Right now, he was stabilizing his cultivation base and familiarizing himself with his explosive strength. Yan Hong reckoned that he would contact them in a few days.
