Kacha, kacha!
With a jolt of his body, a sonic boom sounded from his muscles. He walked up to the stone pillar used to test the strength of the savage beast and threw a punch at it.
Weng!
Light flashed.
A line of words slowly floated into view... 5000!
At Zongshi realm, one's strength would exceed a thousand ding. For a Zongshi realm primary stage cultivator, it would be 1000 ding, intermediate stage 2000 ding... and so on. At Zongshi realm pinnacle, one would possess a strength of 4000 ding.
When Zhang Xuan was at Half-Zongshi realm, he already possessed 1500 ding of strength. Now that he had reached Zongshi realm pinnacle, his strength had soared to 5000 ding.
This strength was already comparable to that of a Half-Zhizun realm cultivator.
"It's a pity that I don't have enough spirit stones. Otherwise, I wouldn't only have 5000..."
Even though Zhang Xuan was excited, he wasn't satisfied.
The five spirit stones he obtained from Mo Tianxue and the one from Prince Fei Xuan had all been used up in just half a day.
Just as he had guessed, the higher one's cultivation was, the greater the consumption of spirit stones would be.
Previously, a single spirit stone was sufficient for him to reach Zongshi realm intermediate stage. Now that he had six spirit stones, he barely managed to reach Zongshi realm pinnacle.
Given the current rate of consumption, he would need at least ten, or even dozens of spirit stones to reach Zhizun realm.
"I have to find a way to earn more spirit stones in the future..."
Zhang Xuan rubbed his glabella.
Even though the Heaven's Path Divine Art was extremely fast, it required an astounding amount of spiritual energy. This was especially so for the higher one's cultivation realm, the purer one's zhenqi would be.
If a Zongshi realm cultivator required dozens of spirit stones, wouldn't a Zhizun realm cultivator require a few hundred spirit stones?
Even a Tier 1 Kingdom like Tianwu Kingdom had less than ten spirit stones. Where could he find so many spirit stones?
Zhang Xuan thought that he could be considered a wealthy man with a few dozen million gold coins in his storage ring. However, from the looks of it, he had become a pauper once more.
Gold coins were nothing to him... Spirit stones were the true source of wealth!
"Adjusting my condition and cultivating, a day has passed..."
Looking out of the window, Zhang Xuan saw that it was already noon of the second day. He was speechless.
He had expended quite a bit of zhenqi and strength to detoxify the guardian beast. Just recovering his stamina and adjusting his condition took up a lot of time as well. Unknowingly, it was already noon of the second day.
"Time to help the Gold-tailed Lion achieve a breakthrough!"
Stretching his back lazily, Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan, and Zhang...
Having reached Zongshi realm pinnacle, Zhang Xuan's Heaven's Path zhenqi had become even purer and denser.
"Guild Leader Liu!"
Walking out of the room, he saw Mo Tianxue and Mo Yu standing not too far away.
He had actually been waiting here for a long time.
Whether or not the Gold-tailed Lion would be able to achieve a breakthrough was a matter that concerned the very foundation of Tianwu Kingdom. No matter how composed Mo Tianxue was, he couldn't avoid this matter. As soon as the sun rose, he and Mo Yu arrived at the entrance to wait for the Gold-tailed Lion.
Knowing how they felt, Zhang Xuan wasn't surprised. He replied, "Take me to the Gold-tailed Lion!"
"Guild Leader Liu, I've already reached an agreement with the Gold-tailed Lion. We can use your method to help it evolve!" Mo Yu said with a smile.
"My method?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.
Could it be that Mo Yu knew that his zhenqi could purify the bloodline of savage beasts?
That was impossible!
Previously, the reason why he had helped the Viridescent Eagle achieve a breakthrough was due to the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow bloodline. On the other hand, the reason why he had helped the Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast achieve a breakthrough was due to the pills she had forged.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have known …
Then … what was the point of saying that?
With a grim expression on his face, he was just about to ask about the matter when the young lady suddenly pointed forward.
"The Gold-tailed Lion is ready!"
Following the direction of her finger, Zhang Xuan's eyelids twitched, and he nearly fainted.
At this moment, the massive Gold-tailed Lion was tied up like a dumpling by countless chains. Lying on the floor, it was looking at Zhang Xuan resentfully.
What was going on?
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan turned to Mo Yu and asked, "This is …"
What does tying this fellow like a dumpling have to do with my method?
He wasn't the only one who was perplexed. On the other hand, Mo Tianxue was also on the verge of a mental breakdown.
This morning, his precious daughter looked for him and said that if he wanted the Gold-tailed Lion to achieve a breakthrough, he had to tie it up.
After a long discussion, he finally convinced the Gold-tailed Lion that it was willing to be tied up.
Just like that … it could achieve a breakthrough to Zhizun realm?
Why hadn't he heard of it before …
"Your cultivation is only at Tongxuan realm primary stage. For safety reasons, the only way to execute the [Beast Pummeling Taming Method] is to seal its movements …"
Mo Yu said seriously.
"…" Zhang Xuan had a bizarre expression on his face.
Back then, when he helped the Viridescent Eagle achieve a breakthrough, he used the [Beast Pummeling Taming Method]. Perhaps, she thought that this was his ultimate method to help a savage beast achieve a breakthrough …
The current Guild Leader Liu was only at Tongxuan realm primary stage, so it was impossible for him to be a match for the Gold-tailed Lion. Thus, she decided to tie it up in advance …
Cough cough!
She had caused him to jump in fright. So, this was what she meant …
Even though it looked ridiculous, it could conceal his identity as well as the effect of the Heaven's Path zhenqi on his bloodline. This was killing two birds with one stone.
"Un, not bad. I'll begin then …"
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Zhang Xuan walked over to the Gold-tailed Lion.
Mo Tianxue hurriedly focused his attention on Zhang Xuan.
Even until now, he was still confused by his daughter's words. He couldn't understand what the Beast Pummeling Taming Method meant.
The Gold-tailed Lion, who was lying on the floor with a resentful expression, was completely oblivious to what was going on. Upon seeing Zhang Xuan walking over, gratitude surfaced in its eyes.
If not for this physician, it would have been poisoned to death without a single person knowing.
Even though its anus was still hurting, the poison had been neutralized, and the other parts of its body were much more relaxed. With the powerful recovery ability of a savage beast, it should be able to make a full recovery within a few days.
Just as it was about to kiss Zhang Xuan, its benefactor walked up to it and kicked it without any hesitation.
"Roar???"
The Gold-tailed Lion was dumbfounded.
Didn't you say that you would help me achieve a breakthrough? Why are you kicking me?
Peng peng peng!
Before it could react, the fellow before it kicked furiously once more.
Every single kick landed on the wound from yesterday, causing it to grit its teeth in agony.
…
"This is … the Beast Pummeling Taming Method you spoke of?"
Mo Tianxue's mouth twitched.
As the emperor, he had seen many things in his life. He had seen many beast tamers raising the strength of a savage beast before. However, to pummel a savage beast and claim that it would be able to raise its cultivation, he had never heard of such a thing.
"Don't worry, Guild Leader Liu will definitely succeed!"
Mo Yu said confidently.
The sight of the Viridescent Eagle breaking through after being pummeled was still fresh in her mind.
This Gold-tailed Lion shouldn't be a problem either.
"But …"
Even though his daughter spoke confidently, Mo Tianxue still found it hard to believe.
"Look, the Gold-tailed Lion seems to have realized something …"
Knowing that it was difficult for him to comprehend such a high-class method, Mo Yu pointed.
Mo Tianxue turned his gaze over.
The eyes of the savage beast, which had been filled with bitterness a moment ago, were glowing in excitement.
Despite being pummeled to the point where it spurted blood and its body trembled in pain, its eyes were filled with excitement …
Mo Tianxue felt as if all of his knowledge had crumbled, and he was on the verge of fainting.
…
Under Zhang Xuan's frenzied pummeling, the Gold-tailed Lion was initially in excruciating pain. However, a moment later, it realized that something was amiss.
Every single kick from the other party would infuse a surge of zhenqi into its body, purifying its bloodline and causing its strength to soar.
At this moment, no matter how foolish it was, it could tell that the other party was helping it achieve a breakthrough. Thus, it stopped resisting and absorbed the zhenqi flowing into its body, strengthening its bloodline.
Hong long!
After absorbing innumerable surges of zhenqi, its bloodline was purified to its limits. Amidst a violent explosion, a powerful aura burst forth from its body!
Zhizun realm, it had reached!
"Roar …"
With a deafening roar, the Gold-tailed Lion abruptly stood up, and its massive body jolted.
Hualala!
The chains binding its body immediately broke free and fell to the ground.
"It... really achieved a breakthrough?"
Mo Tianxue was dumbfounded.
Even though he was witnessing it with his own eyes, he couldn't wrap his head around it.
Zhizun realm was a difficult realm for even humans to achieve a breakthrough, needless to say, a savage beast with a fixed bloodline... To achieve a breakthrough just by pummeling it to the point where it spurted blood...
Wasn't this too much of a joke?!
"Could it be that... even though this Guild Leader Liu is pummeling it, he's actually unlocking the bottleneck in its body and raising its strength?"
A thought popped up in Mo Tianxue's mind.
He had once read in an ancient book that some formidable master teachers would unseal the bottleneck in one's body through pummeling, thus allowing one's zhenqi to flow smoothly and raise one's cultivation.
The young man before him had pummeled the Gold-tailed Lion to the point where it was on the brink of death. Yet, the latter was still able to achieve a breakthrough so easily. Perhaps, this was also the reason behind it.
"Since he can help a savage beast achieve a breakthrough, does that mean that he can help a human achieve a breakthrough as well?"
Thinking of something, Mo Tianxue's eyes lit up in excitement.
...
"Done!"
Seeing the Gold-tailed Lion achieve a breakthrough, Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction.
It seemed like a Zongshi realm pinnacle zhenqi could indeed help a Half-Zhizun to achieve a breakthrough.
He decided to give it a try on the Steelfang Howling Firmament Beast later on. If that fellow could reach Zhizun realm, he wouldn't have to worry about running amok in Tianwu Kingdom.
Clapping his hands, he ignored the gratitude of the lion before him. Just as he was about to say something, Mo Tianxue walked up to him.
"Guild Leader Liu, thank you for helping the Gold-tailed Lion achieve a breakthrough. I am deeply grateful..."
Mo Tianxue bowed sincerely.
"It's nothing much!" Zhang Xuan shook his head.
He had already agreed to it previously. Besides, he had already accepted five spirit stones from the other party, so this small favor was nothing much.
Seeing the other party's nonchalant reply, Mo Tianxue was even more certain of his conjecture. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I have a presumptuous request... I hope that you can help me!"
"Oh?"
"I have been stuck at Zongshi realm pinnacle for many years now, unable to make any progress. Guild Leader Liu... can you help me achieve a breakthrough as well? I don't need you to reach Zhizun realm, just Half-Zhizun will do..."
Looking at Zhang Xuan expectantly, Mo Tianxue's breathing hastened.
"Help you achieve a breakthrough?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback.
"That's right. Don't worry, I know what to do..." Mo Tianxue nodded his head.
Seeing the other party's confident expression, Zhang Xuan was perplexed. Could it be that this fellow knew that he was in need of spirit stones and that he had a secret stash with him?
But before Zhang Xuan could finish his thought, the other party picked up the metal chain on the ground and tied himself up tightly. Then, lying on the ground, he said, "I'm ready! Come, beat me up... "
"..." Zhang Xuan.
