Ling Xiao's current weakness was his cultivation.
Ming Tian was already at the early stage of the ninth level of the Martial Vein, while he was only at the peak of the seventh level.
Since he had lost at the starting line, he had to quickly make up for it.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao began to flip through the "Spiritual Medicine Secret Codex" in the Technique Hall.
This so-called Spiritual Medicine Secret Codex was actually a book in the Technique Hall. The medicinal herbs and pills recorded in it were all owned by Master Bai Yun. He could choose according to his military merit points.
"'Qian Yuan Bone Changing Pill', a spirit pill for tempering the body. It can be used to increase the realm of defensive martial arts and at the same time, it can also temper the body and lay a good foundation for advancing to the Transcendent Realm. Requires body potential of 90% of four stars and a cultivation of at least the eighth level! "
"'Three Heart Soul Condensing Pill', a spirit pill for tempering the soul. It can be used to increase the strength of the soul and increase the soul power, laying a good foundation for advancing to the Transcendent Realm. Requires soul potential of 90% of four stars and a cultivation of at least the seventh level. "
"'High-grade True Essence Pill', a spirit pill for tempering the Martial Vein. It can be used to increase the strength of the Martial Vein and increase the True Essence, laying a good foundation for advancing to the Transcendent Realm. Requires internal energy potential of 90% of four stars and a cultivation of at least the seventh level. "
There was a note at the back of these three pills, "If not taken according to the requirements, it may cause Qi Deviation, bleeding from the seven orifices, or even death on the spot."
Each of the three types of elixirs required 150 military merit points!
This was simply robbery.
The military merit points required for a single pill was actually more expensive than a quasi-transcendent martial arts manual.
However, you get what you pay for.
Such an expensive thing naturally wouldn't be cheap.
Ling Xiao gritted his teeth and simply took two of each pill. In this way, he directly spent 900 military merit points.
As for the remaining 160 military merit points, Ling Xiao used them all to exchange for gold.
Because in the previous battle, in order to repair his body, he used up all of his gold.
Although the consumption was terrifying, he still managed to save his life.
Considering this point, he felt that gold was quite important to him.
160 military merit points were directly exchanged for 16 million gold taels. Otherwise, why would it be said that the higher the cultivation, the less important gold was.
The total amount of gold in the Ninja Auction House was almost this much, but Master Baiyun could easily exchange so much gold for his disciple.
Of course, other than Ling Xiao, no one else would exchange military merit points for gold.
After all, the higher one's cultivation was, the less useful gold would be. Other than basic necessities, there was almost no need for gold.
After the exchange, Ling Xiao returned to his residence and began cultivating.
Of course, the first thing he chose to cultivate was the Snow Lotus Truth. This was because it was the only and most powerful inner force cultivation method he had at the moment.
If he wanted to increase his cultivation, he absolutely had to practice the Snow Lotus Truth.
Moreover, after the battle that day, a lot of remnant strange power had surged into his body, including Grandmaster Baiyun's Quintessential Essence and the wolf-shaped ferocious beast's Quintessential Essence.
He could feel that in the process of refining this external true essence, it should not be a problem for him to raise his cultivation to the eighth level of the Martial Vein.
As long as his cultivation reached the 8th level of the Martial Vein, then the Heaven Essence Bone Changing Pill could be used. He did not want to take the risk.
After all, he only had one life. Although he was anxious, it was better to cultivate step by step.
After swallowing a high-grade Quintessential Pill, the Quintessential Essence in his body surged like a tide.
In the Mountain River World, a wolf-shaped shadow and Grandmaster Baiyun's shadow were fighting.
Ling Xiao's shadow stood at the side, accumulating strength, ready to find an opportunity to take down these two Quintessential Essences in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, his shadow rushed out. Taking advantage of the weakening of the wolf-shaped shadow and Grandmaster Baiyun, it turned into a golden dragon and swallowed the two Quintessential Essences.
Although the quality of the two Quintessential Essences was much stronger than his Snow Lotus Quintessential Essence, they did not have much of an advantage compared to his Sky Dragon Quintessential Essence.
Coupled with the fact that they were in a weakened state, they were instantly swallowed by him.
And then digested.
Seven days later.
Ling Xiao exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. The eighth Martial Vein in his body had finally been opened.
The breakthrough to the eighth level of the Martial Vein was much easier than he had imagined. It was as if the conditions were right.
However, he did not assimilate the wolf-shaped beast's "Scarlet Flame Quintessential Essence" and Grandmaster Baiyun's "Thunderbolt Quintessential Essence".
It was not that he could not do it, but that he did not do it.
Because he found that once assimilated, the two Quintessential Essences would be reduced to the same level as his Snow Lotus Quintessential Essence.
This was simply not worth the loss.
Therefore, he isolated these two Quintessential Essences, just like the Sky Dragon Quintessential Essence, independent of the Snow Lotus Quintessential Essence, and used them as his trump card.
Now, he had eight Martial Veins. One Martial Vein was the Sky Dragon Quintessential Essence, one Martial Vein was the Scarlet Flame Quintessential Essence, and one Martial Vein was the Thunderbolt Quintessential Essence. The remaining five were all Snow Lotus Quintessential Essence.
To be able to do this, it was all thanks to the eighth special ability he had obtained after reaching the eighth level of the Martial Vein — Nine Veins Spiritual Body.
The advantage of this ability was that the nine Martial Veins could store nine different Quintessential Essences, and they would not hinder each other.
Of course, the Quintessential Essence obtained from others was limited. After it was used up, one could only use the Snow Lotus Quintessential Essence or the Sky Dragon Quintessential Essence to fill it up, or obtain other Quintessential Essences from others to fill it up.
An ordinary martial artist would have at most two Quintessential Essences in their body, and it was impossible to have more.
However, he could have nine Quintessential Essences.
The higher the level of the Mountain and River Martial Spirit, the greater the surprise it would bring.
At the same time that his cultivation was promoted to the eighth level of the Martial Vein, his Snow Lotus Quintessential Essence had finally reached the ninth level of perfection.
This was all thanks to the previous battle, which allowed him to gain a lot of insights from the battle with the Transcendent martial artists. Therefore, the speed at which he cultivated the quasi-transcendent martial arts had significantly increased.
To have such achievements in seven days, even he himself felt that it was somewhat inconceivable. However, the gap was still very far. It was a pity that he did not have any high-grade Quintessential Essence Pills.
He swallowed a few low-grade Quintessential Essence Pills to consolidate his cultivation.
This process took him three days.
After that, he swallowed the Three-Heart Soul Condensing Pill and began to condense his soul and improve his soul force.
He had once used the Seven Star Flower to test his potential. All three of his potential should be above seven stars, so he felt that he had to use all three at once.
In this way, after advancing to the Transcendent Realm, his foundation would be even more solid.
The Soul Ignition Art was the same as the Snow Lotus Quintessential Essence. It was also a quasi-transcendent martial art.
After seven days of continuous cultivation, his soul force had obviously improved by a lot, and his soul had also become much stronger.
The most obvious feature was that he felt that his thoughts had become clearer and faster. Things that he could not understand before, he could now quickly understand now.
Things that he could not remember before, he could now quickly remember now.
Not only that, because of the improvement of his soul force, the effect of the Terrifying Finger had also become more terrifying. It was not inferior to the Snow Lotus Sword Art in the slightest. To a certain extent, it was even more terrifying.
The Soul Ignition Art had been promoted to the Great Perfection Realm. In the future, other than using it in battle, he could temporarily put it aside.
Next, he would take the Quintessential Bone Changing Pill to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body.
During this period of time, his Heavenly Dragon Golden Body had not made any progress. It had always been stuck at the second level, unable to advance an inch.
However, this time he had exchanged for the Quintessential Bone Changing Pill. Coupled with the breakthrough in his cultivation and soul, it was estimated that it was time for the Heavenly Dragon Golden Body to be promoted.
This time, he did not dare to use the Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique because it involved too many things. If something went wrong, it would be dangerous for him to go berserk.
