In the mountains.
Su Mo held the map in his hand and traveled through the dense forest according to the directions on the map.
He hid his aura as much as he could and was very careful along the way.
He was now more than 25 kilometers deep into the Breezewind Mountain Range. The demonic beasts around him were all Class 4 Lv 1, and some were even Class 5 Lv 1.
With his current strength, he might not even be able to defeat a Class 4 Lv 1 demonic beast, let alone a Class 5 Lv 1 demonic beast.
Therefore, he was very careful along the way.
Finally, after advancing for another hour, Su Mo arrived at a messy valley without any mishaps.
The valley was surrounded by cliffs that were hundreds of meters high, and there was only one entrance.
The valley was covered with thorns and bushes, making it a desolate place.
Su Mo was highly focused and alert to his surroundings. If there was any danger, he would immediately run away.
Treasures were important, but they were nothing without his life.
Su Mo looked at the map in his hand and saw that the place marked on the map was this valley.
Su Mo looked around carefully. Soon, he found a large crack in the rock wall.
It was a horizontal crack that was 30 meters long, like the mouth of a giant beast, and was unfathomably deep.
The crack was overgrown with weeds, so it was impossible to find it without careful observation.
Standing at the crack, Su Mo frowned.
This crack was not like the small cave from before. It was dark and cold, and it was unfathomably deep. Su Mo wondered what kind of danger it contained.
After hesitating for a while, Su Mo gritted his teeth and walked into the crack.
Since he was already here, how could he return empty-handed?
"Danger?
When have I ever been afraid of danger? "
As Su Mo went deeper, the light in the crack became dimmer, and the surroundings became pitch-black.
Su Mo directed his genuine Qi to his eyes, and his eyesight was greatly enhanced. He walked deeper into the crack.
After walking for a while, Su Mo found that the passage in the crack gradually led downward.
He estimated that he was now about ten meters underground.
After walking for a while, a cool breeze blew in front of him, and the sound of running water could be heard.
Su Mo's spirit was lifted, and he quickened his pace.
Soon, Su Mo's eyes lit up, and he saw a huge space that was five to six meters high, seven to eight meters wide, and unfathomably long.
It turned out to be an underground world.
An underground river passed through this space, leading to an unknown destination.
There were many fish swimming in the river, and there were many natural cobblestones by the river, emitting a faint fluorescent light. Su Mo had a panoramic view of the underground world.
Not far in front of Su Mo was a dilapidated stone chamber.
There were a few skeletons outside the stone room. It was obvious that they had died a long time ago.
"Could it be that the treasure has already been taken?"
Su Mo slowly walked into the broken stone chamber.
The stone chamber was not big. It was less than five meters in length and width, and half of it had collapsed.
The stone chamber was empty except for two skeletons in the center.
Su Mo could not help but feel disappointed. It seemed that the treasure had already been taken.
"Hmm? “
Suddenly, Su Mo was stunned.
This was because he discovered that one of the skeletons was actually light gold in color and had not decayed in the slightest.
"Why are there light golden bones?"
Su Mo was confused.
This was indeed the skeleton of a human warrior, but he had never heard of anyone with a pale golden skeleton.
"Eh? This is … "
Su Mo suddenly found that there was an ancient greyish-white ring on the finger of the golden skeleton's left hand.
"Could it be a storage ring?"
Su Mo was a little excited and hurriedly picked up the ring.
A storage ring was a kind of treasure that could store things. It had its own space and was very precious.
No one in Sunnywood City owned a Storage Ring. Ordinary martial artists all used Storage Bags, which were of a lower grade.
After taking a deep breath, Su Mo ran his genuine Qi into the ring.
In the next instant, Su Mo's consciousness entered a grey space.
This space was not big, about five meters in length, width, and height.
In the corner of the space, there were several scrolls, a long sword, and a pile of milky white crystals.
With a thought, the long sword appeared in Su Mo's hand. After injecting genuine Qi into it, the long sword immediately let out a sword cry.
Puff! Puff!
The Sword Qi on the long sword pulsed and rushed into the wall one meter away, actually piercing through the hard stone wall.
"This …! “
Su Mo was shocked. He did not expect the sword to be so powerful that its sword Qi could easily penetrate the hard stone wall.
Medium Lv 3 Spirit Cut!
Su Mo saw a few small words engraved on the hilt of the long sword.
"It's a Medium Lv 3 weapon?"
Su Mo was very excited.
What did a Medium Lv 3 weapon mean? There was not even a single Upper Lv 2 weapon in Sunnywood City, which showed how precious a Medium Lv 3 weapon was.
As for the word 'Spirit Severing', that was the name of the sword.
After a while, Su Mo put the long sword back into the storage ring and took out the scrolls.
There were a total of four secret manuals. They were: 'Divine Wind Sword Art', 'Myriad Elephants Divine Art', 'Shadow Steps', and 'Primordial Singular Energy Art'.
Su Mo gently opened the scroll of Elephant's Strength Skill and focused his attention on it.
Elephant's Strength Skill, Upper Lv 5 Body Refining Skill, was divided into 15 levels. After cultivating it, one's body would be as strong as an Archean Fierce Beast and possess the strength of an elephant.
Level 1 to 3, Strength Training!
Level 4 to 6, Bone Tempering!
Level 7 to 9, Body-strengthening!
Level 10 to 12, Divine Power!
Level 13 to 15, Elephant!
Su Mo was shocked again when he read the contents of the book, and his face went blank.
"Upper Lv 5 Cultivation Skill?
Body Refining Skill?
Strength of an elephant? "
What was the strength of an elephant? It was the strength of tens of thousands of elephants!
Moreover, the "elephant" referred to was not an ordinary demonic elephant, but an Ancient Barbarian Elephant.
Even if an Ancient Barbarian Elephant did not cultivate, it would have a strength of more than 5,000 kilograms when it reached adulthood.
How strong was the strength of tens of thousands of Ancient Barbarian Elephants?
100 million kilograms?
Several hundred million kilograms?
Su Mo suddenly felt that his brain was not enough!
"It's an Upper Lv 5 Cultivation Skill! And it's a Body Refining Skill! "
Su Mo was overjoyed when he realized that he had come to the right place to hunt for treasures.
As far as Su Mo knew, there was not even a Lv 3 Cultivation Skill in Sunnywood City, let alone a Lv 5 Cultivation Skill.
As one of the two big families in Sunnywood City, the highest level of cultivation skill of the Sus was only Medium Lv 2. It was the family's secret skill, and ordinary family members were not qualified to cultivate it.
Now, he had obtained an Upper Lv 5 Cultivation Skill, and it was a Body Refining Skill.
A Body Refining Skill was even more precious than a Qi Cultivation Skill of the same level, because there were too few of them.
A Body Refining Skill was the real way to strengthen one's body. The Body Tempering Realm before the Qi Cultivation Realm was just to train one's body.
The Su Clan also only had two body refinement techniques. However, very few of the young disciples cultivated them because it was relatively slow and wasted too much time.
For the young disciples of the Sus, improving their cultivation and strength was their top priority.
This Elephant's Strength Skill was much more precious than the Spirit-slayer Sword.
"Huff!"
Su Mo took a deep breath and looked at the other three scrolls.
Compared to the Spirit-slayer Sword and Elephant's Strength Skill, the other three scrolls were much more ordinary.
They were all Lower Lv 3 scrolls, and there was a swordsmanship, a footwork, and a cultivation skill.
Although these three secret manuals were not as good as the Elephant's Strength Technique, they were many times better than the Su family's secret manuals.
Coincidentally, these were all things that Su Mo needed.
Su Mo did not know what the remaining pile of milky white crystals was, but he could feel the strong Spiritual Qi in them, so he was sure they were treasures.
After a while, Su Mo calmed himself down and put away the other scrolls, leaving only the Elephant's Strength Skill.
He carefully read through it and memorized the mnemonic formula and the main points within.
There was no danger in this underground world, and it was quiet enough. Su Mo sat cross-legged, released his Martial Soul, and started cultivating.
Elephant's Strength Skill was a very mysterious cultivation skill that used the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth or one's own genuine Qi to refine one's body.
At this moment, the genuine Qi in Su Mo's body transformed into numerous runes of the "elephant", drilling into his flesh and blood and refining his body.
Two hours later, Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes, his face full of surprise.
"This cultivation skill consumes so much genuine Qi?"
After cultivating for only two hours, Su Mo's genuine Qi had been completely consumed.
Next, Su Mo could only try his best to activate his Martial Soul and absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to refine his body.
All the absorbed Spiritual Qi transformed into runes and integrated into his body.
His body was like a bottomless pit, crazily absorbing Spiritual Qi and runes.
Time passed quickly.
He cultivated for eight days. During this period, Su Mo caught some fish from the underground river when he was hungry, so he did not worry about food.
On the sixth day, Su Mo successfully cultivated the first level of Elephant's Strength Skill.
After successfully cultivating the first level, Su Mo's body strength surged. With only his physical strength, the power of his fist exceeded the strength of three tigers, which was more powerful than that of a martial artist at Lv 3 Qi Cultivation Realm.
For a martial artist at the Qi Cultivation Realm, every increase in cultivation would increase the strength of one tiger.
The strength of one tiger was about 250 kilograms, and the strength of three tigers was 1,500 kilograms.
Su Mo felt that his current strength was close to 1,000 kilograms, which was the strength of four tigers. Even if it was not the strength of four tigers, it was not far from it.
After cultivating for only a few days, his strength had surged, which made him even more determined to cultivate this skill.
If he could cultivate this skill to Lv 10 or above, he would be invincible in the whole Skymoon Country, let alone in Sunnywood City.
However, after cultivating the first level, Su Mo clearly felt that cultivating the second level was 10 times slower than cultivating the first level.
It only took him six days to cultivate the first level, but he estimated that it would take at least two months to completely cultivate the second level.
Therefore, after cultivating for another two days, Su Mo stopped.
He had been out for 10 days, and it was time to go back.
After recovering his genuine Qi, Su Mo buried the golden skeleton, left this underground world, and flew toward Sunnywood City.
The storage ring of the golden skeleton had given Su Mo an Opportunity. As such, Su Mo had buried the skeleton to rest in peace.
On his way back, Su Mo suddenly thought of a problem.
Cultivating Elephant's Strength Skill required a large amount of Spiritual Qi, and the higher the level, the more Spiritual Qi it would need.
If he kept cultivating this skill, all the Spiritual Qi his Martial Soul had absorbed would be used up.
His own True Qi would not increase in the slightest, and his cultivation would also not increase.
If he cultivated both Qi Cultivation and Body Refining at the same time, the cultivation speed of both aspects would be greatly reduced.
"Should I give up Qi Cultivation and focus on body refining?"
As soon as this idea popped up in his mind, Su Mo immediately rejected it.
For others, cultivating both Qi Cultivation and Body Refining at the same time might greatly affect the improvement of their strength, but it was not a problem for Su Mo.
His Martial Soul could be upgraded.
As long as he upgraded his Martial Soul's level, the speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi would greatly increase, and so would his cultivation.
Now that his Devouring Martial Soul had been upgraded to Rank 3 Human Class, its speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was 10 times faster than when it was at Rank 1 Human Class.
If he could upgrade his Martial Soul by a few more ranks, his cultivation speed would definitely increase again.
Therefore, cultivating both Qi Cultivation and Body Refining at the same time would only increase his strength, but it would not affect his cultivation speed too much.
"Haha! It seems that I have to kill more in the future! "
