Chapter 70: Spiritual Enhancement, Nourishing the Physical Body!
Chapter 70: Spiritual Enhancement, Nourishing the Physical Body!
The Secret Tibetan Consciousness Spirit Art?
This is a spiritual martial art!
Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he picked up the bearskin to browse through it.
Within a few breaths, Qin Zheng had skimmed through the martial art.
At the same time, on the surface of his sea of consciousness, the virtue scroll trembled.
Then, a new line of text appeared.
[Discovered Martial Art: Secret Tibetan Consciousness Spirit Art, can be refined, requires 1 jin of merit, refine?]
Hmm?
The unit of measurement for merit has changed?
Qin Zheng immediately separated a strand of his consciousness and immersed himself in his sea of consciousness to examine the virtue scroll.
[Qin Zheng]
[Lifespan: 70 (17)]
[Martial Art: Bodhimanda Wisdom Technique (10th Layer)]
[Merit: 23 jin, 6 liang, 3 qian]
[Current Martial Art: Bodhimanda Wisdom Technique can be upgraded, requires 1 liang of merit, upgrade?]
[Discovered Martial Art: Secret Tibetan Consciousness Spirit Art, can be refined, requires 1 jin of merit, refine?]
One jin is ten liang, so twenty-three jin should be two hundred and thirty liang.
It's a bit less than he expected, but he also spent dozens of liang of merit to upgrade the Thunderbolt Radiant Arrow Art to perfection, so it should be about the same.
Qin Zheng thought to himself, and then silently recited in his heart, "Refine!"
Vibrating!
The merit was deducted from the virtue scroll, and at the same time, he instantly grasped the spiritual martial art.
Qin Zheng could feel that in this instant, his brow ridge seemed to be nourished by a tonic, suddenly becoming much stronger!
In a moment, Qin Zheng felt that his five senses had become significantly enhanced.
Without hesitation, Qin Zheng continued to consume merit, upgrading this spiritual martial art!
[Current Martial Art: Secret Tibetan Consciousness Spirit Art can be upgraded, requires 10 jin of merit, upgrade?]
"Upgrade!"
[Current Martial Art: Secret Tibetan Consciousness Spirit Art can be upgraded, requires 100 jin of merit, upgrade?]
"Upgrade!"
[Insufficient merit, cannot upgrade!]
Qin Zheng, believing he had sufficient merit, didn't pay much attention and kept silently reciting to upgrade.
It was only after the virtue scroll gave the prompt that he suddenly realized that upgrading this martial art required 100 jin of merit!
A full 1,000 liang of merit!
This realization sent a tidal wave of shock through Qin Zheng's mind!
What level of martial art required 100 jin, 1,000 liang of merit?
And this was just to reach the Great Accomplishment stage, what if it needed to be perfected, wouldn't it require thousands of jin, tens of thousands of liang?
But because Qin Zheng upgraded too quickly, the effects of the upgrade now surged like massive waves.
Boom!!
In an instant, Qin Zheng felt as if a force exploded within his mind.
His spiritual power soared!
His brain became clearer than ever at this moment.
Qin Zheng's 'field of vision' rapidly expanded.
Ten meters, twenty meters, thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters...
Upon reaching fifty meters, it seemed to be restrained, unable to extend further.
However, with the 'quantity' unable to increase, the 'quality' improved!
Qin Zheng felt as if his spiritual power had transformed!
It was as if the intangible had become substantial!
With a thought, a pebble in the cave slowly rose into the air, as if an invisible force had grasped it!
This was spiritual manipulation!
Witnessing this, Qin Zheng was stunned, and a surge of joy welled up within him.
His spiritual power had transformed from intangible to tangible, becoming a spiritual manipulation that could manipulate physical objects!
No wonder this martial art required so much merit!
Perhaps it had already transcended the realm of ordinary martial arts!
Qin Zheng decided to test his ability to 'grasp' heavier stones.
But just then, under the pressure of his powerful spiritual force, Qin Zheng suddenly felt his physical body weaken.
It was as if he was carrying a mountain he couldn't bear.
Qin Zheng's body suddenly knelt on one knee, and sweat began to pour from his body.
He had been careless!
Upgrading martial arts should be done gradually and in sequence!
He had thought it was just a spiritual martial art, and accelerating the upgrade wouldn't have any impact.
But he hadn't expected this martial art to be so powerful that even reaching the Small Accomplishment stage caused Qin Zheng's spiritual power to expand to such an extent!
Qin Zheng's face turned pale, and the overwhelming spiritual power made his brain feel as if it was being stretched to its limit.
Vibrating!!
Suddenly, Qin Zheng's brow ridge trembled.
The flood-like spiritual power began to be rapidly absorbed by his brow ridge.
The pressure on his body from the spiritual power also quickly diminished.
At this moment, a rather peculiar scene appeared in Qin Zheng's mind.
The spiritual power continuously increased, and then it was continuously absorbed by his brow ridge.
As this continued, the changes brought about by the upgraded martial art gradually ceased, and the spiritual power no longer expanded.
Then, his brow ridge moved, and a warm current surged forth, flowing through Qin Zheng's entire body.
This was a force he had never felt before.
Under the nourishment of this warm current, he could feel his physical body rapidly strengthening.
Skin, flesh, sinews, and bones!
Internal organs!
When the warm current finally converged and merged with his internal organs, they suddenly emitted a radiant glow.
The warm current greatly replenished Qin Zheng's vital energy.
Under the nourishment of this warm current, Qin Zheng's vital energy was significantly enhanced.
Subtly, his vital energy seemed to be drawing something, converging towards his dantian, as if about to unlock something.
Spiritual Power Nourishment!
Human Life Wheel!
Upon sensing this, Qin Zheng instantly understood.
This power was the result of his spiritual power becoming too strong, then transformed and channeled through his brow ridge, becoming a nourishing and strengthening force for his physical body.
In just a few breaths, Qin Zheng had rapidly advanced to the peak of the Bone Refinement Realm, just a step away from unlocking the Human Life Wheel and ascending to the Master Realm.
Huff! Qin Zheng exhaled deeply, then stood up.
The martial art inscribed on the beast hide was truly formidable! Although it required a significant amount of Merit to enhance, the effects were immediately noticeable and powerful.
Qin Zheng could feel the strength of his psychic energy. Compared to before, there didn't seem to be any significant changes. However, Qin Zheng was aware that the abundance of psychic energy was temporarily being absorbed and stored by his brow ridge, preventing these changes from manifesting.
Furthermore, his five senses had become significantly sharper than before. The 'vision' in his mind had expanded from a twenty-meter radius to fifty meters. The world appeared clearer to Qin Zheng's eyes.
Subsequently, Qin Zheng's mind stirred, and his psychic energy slowly flowed out, extending outward like tentacles.
He began to experiment with using mental manipulation to lift rocks from the ground. Starting with a one-catty stone, he exerted a bit of effort, and the rock trembled and floated into the air.
Next, Qin Zheng switched to a ten-catty rock, which caused the ground to tremble slightly but didn't lift off.
Qin Zheng increased the output of his psychic energy, and the rock rose into the air.
After repeating this process several times, Qin Zheng also tested the limits of his mental manipulation.
When exerting his psychic energy to its maximum, he could lift rocks weighing nearly a hundred catties, but anything heavier remained immovable.
Moreover, moving objects of this weight was slow and easily disrupted, placing a significant burden on Qin Zheng.
It seemed to have little practical use.
However, Qin Zheng was aware that mental manipulation was just one aspect of the changes, and there were undoubtedly other transformations that he had yet to discover.
Alternatively, the psychic energy might have been entirely stored in his brow ridge, preventing these changes from manifesting.
Additionally, the psychic energy nourished his physical body, enabling him to reach the peak of the Bone Refinement Realm, several times stronger than he was before.
This meant that he could now withstand even greater power!
"Bodhimanda Wisdom Technique, enhance!"
"Xuweisan, you should leave quickly. With your skills, you can escape and hide; they won't be able to find you."
Qin Zheng had been gone for a short while and hadn't returned.
Liu Shiyeh's thoughts became active again.
He wanted to see how brave Xuweisan was and if he dared to flee at this critical moment.
Upon hearing Liu Shiyeh's words, Xuweisan's eyes lit up slightly, and he glanced at the surrounding commoners.
These people, who had almost become blood meals for demons, were too afraid to speak up, even if they had heard Liu Shiyeh's words.
They averted their eyes, feigning ignorance.
Xuweisan spoke up, "But Qin Zheng is proficient in archery. We ran for several miles, and he still caught up to us."
Liu Shiyeh shook his head and whispered, "He was alone, so he could quickly catch up to us, relying on his own strength."
"But look around; with so many people here, how can we escape this Must Not Exist Mountain?"
"If we run now, even if he notices and wants to chase us, he won't be able to. He's powerless to stop us!"
Xuweisan's expression showed a hint of temptation.
Seeing this, Liu Shiyeh's eyes lit up, and he urged, "Let's go! We must leave quickly! I can contact the Eagle Sovereign, and he will escort us back!"
"Once we return to Black Goose City, no matter what Qin Zheng wants, he will have to face Lord Gao first, and it won't involve us!"
"But if we don't leave now and he takes us back to Black Goose City, our lives will be in grave danger!"
With Liu Shiyeh's urging, Xuweisan became even more tempted.
Having consumed the Mind Devouring Pill, Xuweisan had already reached the level of Gao Wusheng, a high-level martial artist.
If he didn't leave now, he feared for his life. So, he said, "Alright! Contact the Eagle Sovereign quickly!"
Liu Shiyeh assured him, "Don't worry, he can come at any time!"
After speaking, he looked up at the sky above.
Several large eagles were circling in the sky.
Xuweisan looked up and made his decision. He immediately used his lightfoot techniques to escape.
Simultaneously, in the sky above, the circling eagles suddenly swooped downward.
In the Must Not Exist Mountain, not far from the Bear Lord's cave.
A group of more than twenty Demon-Slaying Commanders quietly dispersed into the night, led by Situ Qing, with Wang Weiqian by his side.
"We encountered many demon corpses along the way, but now it's so calm. Could it be that Young Master Qin has met with misfortune?"
Situ Qing's expression was grave.
However, Wang Weiqian, the deputy general, remained silent.
As a deputy general and a master who had opened the Life Wheel, Wang Weiqian could sense more subtle changes.
The stench of demon blood in the air almost indicated that many demons had perished in the Must Not Exist Mountain.
Could it be that Qin Zheng had single-handedly wiped out the demons in the mountain?
Suddenly, a sharp eagle cry rang out from the sky above.
A human figure burst out from the distant forest.
This martial art was beneficial for advancing to higher realms, hence the high Merit cost. It's not arbitrarily priced.
Additionally, for the sake of brevity, I will omit the details of the enhanced martial arts on the information interface, replacing them with ellipses. If needed, I can provide further details.
