He cultivated until dusk and then finally stopped his practice.

Upon standing up, he was startled to find a metallic clinking coming from his skin and a crackling sound from his muscles and bones.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered a layer of stinky black grime on the surface of his arm’s skin. His body felt sticky, and when he touched it, the black odoriferous grime was present all over.

It seemed that the impurities within his body had been expelled.

Feeling an itch in his throat, he actually coughed up a clot of bloody phlegm.

He truly understood what it meant to undergo a rebirth, to be rejuvenated.

Every movement felt lighter and more agile.

In the past, lifting his arms would feel constrained.

But now, it became exceptionally easy, with the sensation of being pulled and tugged by his skin, muscles, and tendons greatly diminished.

These were the benefits brought about by the enhancement of his skin, muscles, and tendons.

Also, when breathing, not only did the breaths become deeper and longer, but the muscles throughout his body, even every single cell, seemed to contract and relax in rhythm. It was as if his entire body could breathe.

In fact, this was due to his body and lungs becoming more coordinated and attuned.

This was beneficial in enhancing his explosive power and endurance.

He checked his current cultivation level.

Qin Niu

Cultivation: Everlasting Spring Technique Acquired Realm level 124/1000 (Medicine King Sutra Mortal Realm Sixfold 591/600), Intermediate Farmer 117.1/1000, Insect Master Low Rank 48/100, Beast Tamer Low Rank 3/100

Lifespan: 108 years

Cultivation Techniques: Everlasting Spring Technique level 2 541/1000, Medicine King Sutra level 2 222/1000

After checking his cultivation, he felt satisfied.

He was already an intermediate farmer; although still weak, compared to before, it was a tremendous improvement.

His cultivation had even made a breakthrough to the Acquired Realm.

Based on his feelings, the soldiers of the Black Armored Army standing guard at the gates of Black Tiger City were probably at this realm.

When he was Mortal Realm Sevenfold or Eightfold, he thought he was pretty strong.

Now he understood that someone in the Mortal Realm was just an ordinary person, not even a martial artist.

Only by stepping into the Acquired Realm could one understand what it truly meant to be a martial artist.

Their combat power was simply incomparable to those in the Mortal Realm.

Now, even though he was only a newcomer who had just entered the first level of the Acquired Realm and practiced a Life-Nurturing Technique not specialized in combat, he was still confident he could defeat five Tenfold Mortal Realm individuals single-handedly.

And he could win decisively.

Of course, that was provided everyone’s martial skills and weapons were of a similar level.

Otherwise, there were too many factors that could affect combat power.

Mental strength, martial skills, weapons, armor, combat experience, etc., any of these could affect the outcome of a battle.

Cultivation was just the most important foundation among them.

“Back home!”

He collected the Banyan Tree Blood, shouldered his basket, and left the maze formed by the banyan tree.

He felt the air was exceptionally fresh.

The only thing that bothered him was the sticky black grime on his body, which was very uncomfortable.

Despite his eagerness to return home, he certainly wouldn’t neglect his beekeeping and termite rearing activities.

With the current insect calamities ravaging the land, the more formidable insects he had in his possession, the more effective they could be at crucial moments.

The Ant Queen was still evolving, and it was uncertain when the evolution would be complete.

Having passed the most dangerous phase, it was now merely a matter of time.

He fished out a crumpled leaf from his pocket, which belonged to the broad- leafed herb. He had dug it up and brought it home to grow in the backyard, and he would practice his Everlasting Spring Technique daily to aid its growth.

He also used the manure from Xiao Nui to fertilize it.

Every time he went to the mountain, he made sure to tear off a small piece of the herb’s leaf to feed the three termites.

However, these three termites had yet to show any changes.

After eating it, the Worker Ant would feed the young ants through trophallaxis.

Qin Niu wanted to see if the broad-leafed herb, which he felt was special, could enable the termites to undergo a new evolution.

Coming down from the mountain, he was returning home earlier today; it was not yet dark.

Along the way, the villagers, seeing his darkened skin, gossiped about him behind his back.

Qin Niu ignored these criticisms, turning a deaf ear.
