Chapter 10: The Physical Pearl Takes Shape, The Spiritual Pearl Expands Its Seal (Part 1)

  Shangguan Bing'er controlled her speed to keep up with him, not even giving him a glance. "Address me as Camp Commander. If I wanted to kill you, would I have waited until now?"

  She continued on for a while before stopping in a relatively empty area of the Starry Forest.

  "Alright, let's stop here. Before the new recruit camp begins, I will teach you some methods and experiences of cultivating Tianzhu. After the new recruit camp starts, you don't need to train with the ordinary new recruits, just cultivate on your own. I still have many things to take care of." Shangguan Bing'er said coldly.

  Looking at Wang Ice's expression that refused people thousands of miles away, Zhou Weiqing was also very helpless. This was also the best way for Wang Ice to deal with him, no matter what he said, she would give him a cold face, so as not to let this guy take advantage of her.

  Shangguan Bing'er said faintly, "You now have your first life bead and are a true Tianzhu Master. From the title, you should be called Lower Rank Tian Shi. I possess two life beads, so I am Middle Rank Tian Shi. The cultivation of our Tianzhu is extremely difficult. If you want to advance to my level, you must cultivate your Tianli to the eighth stage and then undergo life bead splitting. At that time, I will naturally teach you. Now, what I want to teach you is about the method of using Tianzhu."

  Zhou Weiqing's spirit lifted and he listened carefully.

  Shangguan Bing'er said: "I am also a Tianzhu master, but I chose the profession of archer, do you know why?"

  "It must be because you're just like me, afraid of death. Using a bow and arrow allows you to hide in the shadows and launch a sneak attack, making yourself much safer. After all, safety comes first."

  Shangguan Bing'er's black hair was disheveled, and the coldness on her face could no longer be maintained. She angrily said: "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you? I chose to become an archer because I am very poor, and even because our Tian Gong Empire cannot support me."

  Zhou Weiqing was stunned, "How is this possible? You are the second Tianzhu master in our empire after Grand Marshal Zhou. If you're short of money, I think the imperial family should provide it unconditionally, shouldn't they?"

  Shangguan Bing'er let out a soft sigh, "It's not as easy as you think. The amount of money and resources needed to cultivate a Tianzhu master is an astronomical figure that's beyond your imagination. This starts with the Yizhu and Tizhu. After we simultaneously possess both the Yizhu and Tizhu, the Tizhu can directly enhance our physical attributes, while the Yizhu can bring us elemental attribute enhancements, allowing us to possess abilities that surpass those of ordinary people. However, if there's no further action taken, it will only be limited to this extent. For example, the wind attribute used earlier can only enhance some of our speed. After our Tianli and wind attribute merge, we can call it Wind System Tianli, which mainly manifests as an enhancement in speed when using weapons or attacking with our bodies. Your lightning attribute will add some lightning attributes to your attacks. For ordinary Yuzhu masters, this might be enough, but for us Tianzhu masters, it's far from sufficient. So, the Benmingzhu that we've cultivated with great difficulty, if we want to maximize its power, needs the help of external special items to enhance our Tizhu and Yizhu."

  Zhou Weiqing looked puzzled and said: "I don't quite understand what you mean?"

  Shangguan Bing'er said, "Let me give you a simple example and you'll understand. The attribute ability of the Intention Pearl can only be applied to oneself before amplification, but cannot be released to harm enemies. However, once the special method of amplification is completed, it can form a skill that releases damage to enemies. There are eight words you must remember: 'Body Pearl Condenses Shape, Intention Pearl Expands Seal'. These eight words reveal the amplification methods for our Body Pearls and Intention Pearls."

  "Tiāo zhū níng xíng, yì zhū tuò yìn?" Zhōu Wěiqīng repeated the words of Shàngguān Bīng'ér. Although Marshal Zhou was very strict and special in his management and education, due to the congenital blockage of his meridians, he had never spoken about the mysteries of the Tianzhu Master. Until this moment, Zhou Weiqing only clearly felt that a mysterious door seemed to be slowly opening for him.

  Shangguan Bing'er said, "Our physical beads, each additional bead will have an extremely great amplification effect on the body, especially for us Tianzhu masters with single-attribute pure physical beads, that high 105% amplification effect is particularly evident. But the wonder of physical beads goes far beyond that. Look."

  As she spoke, Yu Rou'er slowly raised her left hand, and two crystal-like dragon stone jade beads glowed with a soft light. Under Zhou Weiqing's gaze, the first dragon stone jade bead suddenly shone brightly and flew out of Yu Rou'er's wrist range. Immediately afterwards, the crystal green light softened, and the bead transformed in mid-air.

  In the blink of an eye, the original emerald bead transformed into a long arrow, its entire body presenting as dragon stone jade, crystal clear and transparent. Its size was no different from that of a longbow's feathered arrow, but it shone with precious light, surrounded by a faint layer of pale green glow.

  "Is this what it means for a Cores to take shape?" Zhou Weiqing asked, his eyes wide with wonder. He had never known that Cores could have such an amazing use.

  Shangguan Bing'er nodded, her left hand reached out and the Zi Chen bow was already in her hand, her right hand's index and middle fingers pinched the dragon stone jade arrow, which was placed on the bowstring.

  "Be careful."

  As she reminded herself throughout her life, the purple bowstring was pulled back to full moon in an instant. The next moment, accompanied by the humming of the bowstring, a green light flashed and disappeared, with a speed that seemed like a phantom. What's even more strange is that after this dragon stone emerald arrow was shot out, Zhou Weiqing didn't hear any sound at all, only seeing the pale green light flash and disappear. Moreover, it wasn't moving in a straight line, but instead flew out of the forest with a twisted trajectory, as if it had eyes, dodging the star trees head-on.

  "Is that okay?" Zhou Weiqing shivered, the first thought in his mind was that if Yu Tianyi used this arrow condensed from the Body of Pearl to shoot him, he would probably die a hundred times.

  "This is my first silent tracking arrow condensed from the essence of my body, which can be controlled by my thoughts. After the attack is completed, it will automatically return to me." As Shangguan Bing'er said this, the dragon stone emerald arrow reappeared at her fingertips, emitting a faint blue glow.
