(Third Update)
The Heaven Grade Body Tempering Martial Art was 10,100 Spirit Shells while the Earth Flame Body Burning Stone was 33,000 Spirit Shells, totaling up to 43,100 Spirit Shells.
Chen Zong didn't have so many Spirit Shells on him, but fortunately, he had prepared beforehand and placed five Low-Rank Spirit Sources in his Mustard Seed Bag. Five Low-Rank Spirit Sources were worth 50,000 Spirit Shells according to the market price. Since there was no discount in the auction, in the end, Chen Zong got back 6,900 Spirit Shells.
Storing the jade book and Earth Flame Body Burning Stone into his Mustard Seed Bag, Chen Zong quickly left under the surprised gazes of the Great Feather Trading Company's staff.
Just as he walked out of the Dayu Trading Company, Chen Zong's path was blocked. It was a middle-aged man with an incomparably strong body. He wore a red short robe, and on both of his arms were red metal rings. There were five rings on each side. His entire body emitted a scorching aura, as if there were flames burning within his body. Immediately, it brought an extremely strong pressure to Chen Zong.
In an instant, Chen Zong identified the other party's strength.
Pseudo Transcendent Realm!
A powerful Pseudo Transcendent Realm cultivator blocking his path at the entrance of Great Feather Trading Company, especially right after the auction, was definitely not a good thing.
"I know it's you." The Pseudo Transcendent Realm cultivator's blazing eyes fell on Chen Zong, as if he wanted to set Chen Zong on fire, his voice low and deep, like a giant fireball, "I'll give you 20,000 Spirit Shells, give me the Earth Flame Body Burning Stone."
"I'm a Core Disciple of Unhindered Sword Sect." Chen Zong's expression remained unchanged as he spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing tone.
Suddenly, the Pseudo Transcendent Realm cultivator's face changed greatly.
The Unhindered Sword Sect was one of the four most powerful sects in the Tianjiang Prefecture. Their core disciples were all extremely talented. Every one of them was highly valued. If he were to attack them, he would be killed by the experts of the Unhindered Sword Sect.
Sacrificing his life for an Earth Flame Body Burning Stone was not a good deal.
As for the other party pretending to be a Core Disciple of Unhindered Sword Sect, if this was discovered, his end would also be miserable.
"My apologies," The Pseudo Transcendent Realm cultivator cupped his fists to Chen Zong before quickly turning around and leaving.
Chen Zong's expression didn't change at all, as if nothing had happened. He also strode forward.
A Pseudo Transcendent Realm master was obviously not someone Yang Kai could contend with right now. Even if he was safe in Heavenly River City, it was impossible for him to stay here forever. He would have to leave sooner or later, and it was even more impossible for him to stay here and cultivate until he had the strength to contend with a Pseudo Transcendent Realm master.
Challenging a stronger enemy was a form of training for oneself, but there had to be a limit.
Chen Zong didn't want to be hunted down by a Pseudo Transcendent Realm cultivator in the future. If he wasn't careful, he could easily be killed. Those who thought they had an invincible destiny often didn't have a good end.
As for announcing his identity as a core disciple of the Unhindered Sword Sect, it was a form of intimidation. When facing an enemy he couldn't defeat, it was necessary to borrow their strength. Chen Zong didn't think it was shameful at all.
Joining a powerful force, in addition to obtaining more resources and better inheritances, was nothing more than having an additional backer. He could use it as he wished, as long as he didn't use it to bully others.
"Stop!" After taking a few steps, Chen Zong's path was blocked again. It was a young man wearing a fiery red Martial Robe. His body exuded a scorching aura, indicating that he also cultivated a Fire Attribute Secret Art. It was one of the Ten Rising Stars, Gu Yaoyang.
"Hand over the jade book and the Earth Flame Body Incineration Stone, and I'll spare your life." Gu Yaoyang's eyes were filled with ruthlessness and murderous intent. His voice was low and contained an astonishing amount of anger, as if he wanted to burn Chen Zong to ashes.
Chen Zong could feel the scorching aura coming from the other party.
Fifth Layer True Martial Realm!
The other party cultivated a Top Grade Heaven Grade Secret Art and a Top Grade Heaven Grade Martial Art. Coupled with his extraordinary talent, his strength far surpassed his cultivation.
"Do you dare to make a move?" Chen Zong's lips curled into a cold sneer as he said unhurriedly.
The cultivation of the Early Fifth Layer True Martial Realm might be stronger, but it wasn't impossible to resist. This was different from the previous pseudo Transcendent Realm.
This sentence made Gu Yaoyang speechless, and he almost vomited blood.
Did he dare to make a move?
Of course not!
This was Tianjiang City. Even his brother, Gu Zhi Yang, didn't dare to make a move here. Otherwise, it would be a violation of Tianjiang City's laws and he would be punished. Not to mention the severity of the punishment, first of all, he would lose all his face. For people like them, this was unacceptable.
If they resisted, it would be tantamount to ignoring the law. The consequences would be even more serious, and they might even implicate the Sect.
"If you don't dare to make a move, then get out of my way." Chen Zong said. His sharp eyes made Gu Yaoyang unconsciously avoid them. Immediately, he became angry and a tyrannical aura spread out, as if it turned into an invisible wave of fire, fiercely bombarding Chen Zong, wanting to burn Chen Zong to ashes.
"What are you doing? You want to make a move? Don't you know where you are?" A cold voice accompanied by a tyrannical killing intent swept over like a storm. In the blink of an eye, a few martial artists wearing light blue armor appeared at the side, each of them exuding the aura of the True Martial Realm. The aura of the leader of the group had even reached the late stage of the True Martial Realm.
These were the guards of Tianjiang City.
"Remember, unless you hide in the city for the rest of your life." Gu Yaoyang was indignant, but he had no choice but to restrain his aura. He glared fiercely at Chen Zong, and after leaving these harsh words, he angrily turned and left.
Chen Zong smiled lightly, ignoring the other's threat. He also ignored the guards of Tianjiang City. As long as they didn't make a move or provoke the guards of Tianjiang City, they would be fine.
The Tianjiang guards withdrew their cold gazes from Chen Zong and Gu Yaoyang's backs. They snorted coldly and continued to patrol.
Chen Zong once again went to the Lin Family's practice room and rented a high-grade practice room.
First, he took out the jade booklet. The booklet emitted a red light with a scorching heat, which was different from the heat of flames.
"A Heaven Level Body Refining Technique …" Chen Zong murmured to himself. With some hope, he stuck the jade booklet between his eyebrows and used his spiritual power to communicate with it.
Suddenly, a large amount of information poured into Chen Zong's mind like a torrent of hot Qi and blood.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's cultivation had reached this level, and his spiritual power had become stronger. His tolerance had also increased. He only felt a little bloated, but it didn't hurt.
"Mixed Iron Refining Hands!"
This was the name of the Heaven Level Body Refining Technique in the jade booklet.
Chen Zong carefully read and comprehended, experiencing the difference between Body Refinement martial arts and Qi Refinement martial arts.
Qi Refining Techniques were based on the application of energy within the body, such as Internal Strength or True Power. For example, in the True Martial Realm, one mainly used True Power to perform martial arts. The body was a medium, and there wasn't much use of physical strength.
This was also why martial artists who practiced Body Refining Techniques could improve their strength, but they couldn't improve it too much. After all, they couldn't fully release their powerful strength.
Different methods led to different results.
However, the activation of Body Refining Techniques like the Mixed Iron Refining Hands completely relied on physical strength, without the slightest use of True Power.
It was precisely because it was driven purely by the power of the physique that the body refining martial arts often possessed terrifying power. Normally, the strength of a body refining martial artist would be much more powerful than a Qi refining martial artist of the same level. This was also one of the reasons why a body refining martial artist would be much stronger than a Qi refining martial artist of the same level.
The Mixed Iron Refining Hands began to move from the internal organs, releasing power, through the bones, and then into the muscles. It pushed the physical strength from the inside out, pushing the Qi and blood, and finally released through the palms to form an extremely terrifying attack. It paid great attention to the instantaneous explosive power, which would bring about terrible destructive power.
In short, this was a purely destructive Body Refining Technique. It could explode the physical strength from the inside out in an instant, like the impact of the Mixed Elements, releasing an attack beyond the limit.
The second characteristic was the blazing high temperature.
It stimulated the strength from the internal organs, and after it passed through the bones and muscles, it stimulated the Qi and blood, and in an instant, the Qi and blood gathered in the palms. In an instant, the highly concentrated Qi and blood would produce an astonishingly high temperature, enough to melt steel.
These two characteristics led to the name of the Mixed Iron Refining Hands.
"Let's practice for a while," Chen Zong said to himself, and then began to practice.
The difficulty of practicing the Mixed Iron Refining Hands lay in the mobilization of the physical strength. It started from the internal organs, which required the internal organs to be strong enough, and it also required enough control of the body.
Chen Zong happened to have both of these requirements.
With a thought, his five viscera and six bowels moved at the same time, emitting bursts of thunderous sounds. A powerful force was instantly unleashed, radiating outwards as it charged towards the four limbs and bones of his entire body. The power of his bones was stimulated, followed by the power of his tendons and veins. After that, it flowed into his muscles. As his muscles swelled and contracted, the power became increasingly powerful.
The force was like a torrent, pouring into the Qi and blood.
The Pure Yang Qi and blood, which originally contained a powerful force, were injected with this force, the temperature rose rapidly, and then surged like waves, one wave after another, all rushing to the palm of his right hand.
Since he had just practiced and was not proficient enough, one could clearly see the bulging muscles of Chen Zong's body and the fiery red quickly spread to the palm of his hand. Then, the palm of his right hand swelled up, and became as red as a soldering iron that had been calcined in a raging fire. It wantonly emitted an astonishingly high temperature, and the surrounding air seemed to be slightly distorted.
Chen Zong could clearly feel that his right palm had swelled up as if it was about to explode. The blazing heat even seemed to burn the palm of his hand into ashes, and he had to vent it out.
He slapped out with one hand and bombarded the metal iron pile. This kind of iron pile was strong enough to withstand the full attack of an ordinary Lv 6 Genuine Martial Realm warrior without being damaged.
With a bang, the iron pile trembled slightly, and wisps of white smoke rose in spirals. Chen Zong's palm slightly sank into the iron pile, and when he raised his hand, one could see that there was a not deep but clear handprint on the iron pile.
This was not only caused by the explosive force of the Mixed Iron Refining Hands, but also by the terrible heat.
