Chapter 87: Chapter 86 Great Changes in the Jade Capital (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Like a signal, several other top-level Celestials also made their moves almost simultaneously, all targeting the Empress Dowager.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh...
From various parts of the Imperial Ancestral Land, powerful Celestial auras soared into the sky, converging on those top-tier Celestials.
At the same time, outside the ancestral lands, in various places of Jade Capital, centered around the Imperial Palace, numerous hidden martial arts experts emerged, initiating fierce battles.
Inside Candle Dragon Hall.
Still a few oil lamps lit. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
A copper coffin quietly stood in the center of the Great Hall.
"Ah, really don’t want to die."
A melancholic sigh echoed.
Immediately after, the sound of gurgling water could be heard.
A corpselike body sat up slowly and then stood up.
Suddenly, a large amount of crimson fluid gushed from the copper coffin into his body, causing his skinny frame to swell up in an instant.
Transforming into a tall and muscular old man.
In his broad palm, he held something.
...
Chen Bell Platform.
Dong dong dong!
The clear chimes of the bell rang out.
Having just returned, Li Qian placed down the bell striker and began practicing the Sword Stabbing Fist.
After completing a round, Li Qian let out a breath and sighed inwardly, "Still can’t achieve a state of utter tranquility."
No choice, the rewards from his journey to the Taiping Sacred Cave were just too significant.
After obtaining the items, he did not immediately study the contents of the black iron ring.
After all, since he already had them in his possession, there was no rush.
"Senior Brother Li, I think I have encountered some issues with my cultivation."
Liu Ming who had been watching on the side suddenly spoke up.
The cultivation technique Liu Ming was practicing was given to him by Li Qian’s master, Zhou Buping, and could only be considered commonplace.
Commonplace cultivation techniques were not necessarily bad but were more accessible to practice.
For Inner Sect Disciples with ordinary root bone qualifications and comprehension, practicing these types of techniques is best.
That’s because Main Peak Level techniques demand a high level of root bone and comprehension, and often are difficult to begin with.
"What’s the problem?"
Li Qian nodded and asked.
Liu Ming promptly explained his issue.
Li Qian’s current level of cultivation made it easy for him to guide Liu Ming, and soon he found a solution for him.
After Liu Ming went to study the solution, Li Qian returned to the Bell Platform and sat on the bed. He took out the fist-sized demon stone from the black iron ring on his finger.
This demon stone shone with a glossy black luster, faintly containing terrifying energy.
Huff!
Li Qian exhaled deeply and immediately started running his Pure Holy Body, absorbing the essence of energy from the demon stone.
As a strand of energy merged into his body, Li Qian couldn’t help but inhale sharply, trembling all over.
This sliver of energy was exceedingly concentrated, countless times purer than the last demon stone.
It was not even on the same level.
If that demon stone was merely of Celestial Level, this one was at least of Martial Saint Level, or even higher...
This sliver of energy entered his body like water droplets into boiling oil, causing his pale golden blood, heavy like mercury, to boil violently.
His body felt as if it was on fire, scorching hot.
For quite some time, his Pure Holy Body finally managed to refine this strand of Demon Energy.
He felt a stir in his heart and quickly summoned the system interface to check the latest information.
Host: Li Qian.
Cultivation: Innate True Essence (Late Stage 36/100).
Sacrificial Artifact: Chen Bell (Law 4035/10000).
Martial Arts: Sword Stabbing Fist (Perfect), Heartless Sword Technique (Perfect), Pure Holy Body (Small achievement 87/100), Soul Chasing Sword Skill (Perfect).
Martial Intent: Heartless Sword Intent (True Image 34/100).
Secret Skills: Ten Thousand Transformation Sword Qi, Blood Burning Technique.
...
"What’s this?"
Li Qian was shocked.
Because he remembered that the progress of the Pure Holy Body reached small achievement 86 after using up that small demon stone.
Under normal circumstances, it definitely would take several more days of cultivation to improve by one point.
But now... just one session of practice, and the progress of the Pure Holy Body had actually increased by one point.
This could only mean that the quality of this demon stone was incredibly high.
"It seems my Pure Holy Body will advance much faster now."
Li Qian was very pleased in his heart.
This meant that the efficiency of his subsequent cultivation progress would also greatly improve.
Until late at night.
Li Qian sat cross-legged next to the Chen Bell, once again absorbing energy from the fist-sized demon stone, cultivating the Pure Holy Body.
After the cultivation session, Li Qian checked the information on the system interface again.
The progress of the Pure Holy Body had increased by another point.
It should be noted that the Pure Holy Body had already reached small achievement.
To improve by one point in just one cultivation session, this speed was terrifying.
However, the high quality of the demon stone also tested the endurance of the Pure Holy Body.
He felt that twice a day was the limit for the time being.
To increase to three times a day, it seemed it would take some time.
Now it was late at night, all was silent.
Li Qian stored the demon stone back into the black iron ring on his finger.
Then he began to inspect the contents of the black iron ring.
The space within this storage ring was not too big, but it wasn’t small either; roughly the size of a small room.
The items stored only occupied a small portion, with much larger space available.
"Eh, there are elixirs as well?"
Li Qian took out a black bottle, removed the stopper, and glanced inside with his spiritual perception, not recognizing any of it.
He then took out several types of elixirs, all unfamiliar to him.
Judging by their appearance alone, one could tell they were extraordinary.
After all, being stored in a powerful wolf demon’s storage ring, they were definitely valuable.
Just what effects these elixirs had and whether they were usable by humans were unknown.
