Chapter Thirty: Thousand Jun Sword One Year Cultivation

  Leaving the secret city, Wang Chen bought some more talismans and then returned to the inn.

  King Chen opened the defensive formation, then opened his storage bag and took out the Thousand Jun Sword. King Chen was careless for a moment and couldn't hold on tight, with a loud crash, a large pit was smashed out on the ground, and the defensive formation of Fang Jian also shook twice, almost unable to withstand it!

  After taking a deep breath of cold air, Wang Chen became ecstatic. If this weight were to fall on the cultivator's body, who could withstand it? Even if it was a high-quality defensive artifact, it couldn't withstand several blows!

  Wang Chen excitedly grasped the hilt of the sword, but found that he couldn't lift the Thousand Jin Sword at all. Helpless, Wang Chen used both hands to grip the hilt tightly. "Rise!" A low shout, and the Thousand Jin Sword was swung up, only the speed of the sword body was very slow. Excitedly swinging for a moment, Wang Chen suddenly felt his arm ache.

  "This sword is incredibly heavy, it's not something a Qi Refining stage cultivator can use!" Wang Chen thought to himself, he had also inquired about the strength of Qi Refiners. Generally, Qi Refiners were quite pitiful, their physical defense couldn't withstand the magical tools of same-stage cultivators, and their attacks were close-range, making it almost certain that they would be bullied by others.

  Therefore, except for a few masters, very few people choose body refinement.

  Similarly, the strength of individual body cultivators also lies in their physical strength. Through various secret methods to strengthen their bodies, after their physical strength can compare with the magic weapons of fellow cultivators, they will be able to withstand most attacks from fellow cultivators, making them extremely powerful!

  However, the cultivation of Ti Xiu and Wang Chen are vastly different. Ti Xiu focuses on physical strength, but his internal organs are far inferior in comparison, and his power is no match for Wang Chen's. With his six-layered Qi training, Wang Chen's body has a total energy output of 15,000 jin, making it not very difficult for him to wield the 10,000-jin Thousand Jin Sword!

  This weight is almost impossible for even a 9th-level cultivator of Qi Refining!

  Wang Chen had also bought some jade slips about physical strengthening and body refinement, which introduced many methods to increase strength, such as using poison to stimulate the body, using swift flames and water flows to stimulate the body, etc. However, these were all primary physical cultivation methods that were no longer suitable for Wang Chen's current physical strength!

  To enhance physical strength by practicing body refinement methods, one can only choose a powerful body refinement technique and practice it according to the secret method above. Wang Chen has his own blood energy, so he won't do that! The Golden Body Decision also unleashes unparalleled potential under the coordination of blood energy!

  "It seems that I need to work hard to condense my aura, and reach a physical strength of 30,000 jin as soon as possible, in order to use the Thousand Jin Sword relatively normally. To fully adapt, I would need to reach a strength of 50,000 jin." Wang Chen secretly speculated in his heart.

  It's actually easy to understand, just like when Wang Chen had 500 jin of strength before, he felt comfortable using a 100 jin iron sword. The weight of the sword is roughly one-third to one-fifth of the body's strength, which is suitable!

  It's just like a person can lift 100 kilograms with both hands, but neither of the two hundred kilograms can be lifted alone!

  With everything ready, Wang Chen began his next cultivation practice.

  Constantly forging symbols, comprehending the Way of the Five Elements, and in his spare time, he would exchange experiences with Shi Tong and a few others. Before long, after a month had passed, Wang Chen handed over ten pieces of spirit stone and set up a stall in the corner of the market!

  The stall was simple, with a wooden sign that read: "Large quantities of talismans for sale!" Next to the sign were placed several talismans.

  The Hei Wu mountain range is indeed the cradle of Taoist beast hunters, with three to five Taoists forming a small team, constantly coming and going! The talismans spent by the Taoists are also astonishing! Not long after setting up the stall, someone came to inquire about the price, and Wang Chen negotiated with a representative of a small team, selling more than 50 talismans at a slightly cheaper price than in the store.

  However, this price is still higher than the market price of Liuyunfang City. After both parties agreed on the next transaction time, they left! Wang Chen also asked the other party to provide the corpses of the hunted demon beasts, and each demon beast corpse would be purchased at a different price! The other party was puzzled, but since there were spiritual stones to be earned, they naturally wouldn't refuse!

  The next day, Wang Chen made a simple verbal agreement with eight small teams. After selling the Ling Stone, Wang Chen purchased some materials and then left!

  Wufang City is just a temporary safe haven for many cultivators, where they can rest before continuing to hunt and kill demonic beasts. Only through such arduous efforts can they obtain spirit stones, purchase elixirs, advance their cultivation, and have the possibility of becoming a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

  However, most of them are either swallowed by the demonic beasts or become dry bones on the roadside, and even their magic tools are seized by other cultivators! This is like an endless cycle, where only more cautious and powerful cultivators can walk out and become one in a hundred foundation-building cultivators.

  Wang Chen is also one of them! Every month, apart from exchanging cultivation experiences with Shi Tong and a few others, most of the time is spent constantly eating meat. The meat is naturally demon beast meat, in order to cultivate the Golden Body Technique, Wang Chen basically eats two demon beasts' meat every day. Basically, what Wang Chen mainly does is make talismans and eat meat.

  Fortunately, Wang Chen's internal organs had been strengthened by the Blood Energy, not only were they as strong as his exterior, but their functions had also been enhanced to an almost superhuman level, probably even surpassing those of a same-level demonic beast! Under this effect, the eight small groups of demonic beasts that were hunting him were constantly being absorbed by Wang Chen, and Wang Chen's cultivation speed was also increasing continuously.

  However, the later it gets, the more difficult it is to condense. The new holes are more condensed than the old ones and require more blood energy, so the holes must be condensed again to ensure that the front and back holes are at a certain level!

  Under Wang Chen's persistent efforts, in less than a year, the twenty-four acupoints were successfully condensed! In the instant when the twenty-four acupoints condensed, the twenty-four acupoints strangely rotated simultaneously, as if the practice between the acupoints had deepened a bit!

  After the hole was sealed, Wang Chen's body began to rapidly strengthen, until his strength reached 35,000 jin, at which point it slowly stopped. At this time, Wang Chen's physical strength had actually also reached the peak of a mid-grade artifact!

  This year, Wang Chen did not rely on the elixir to carefully explore and finally formed a cycle of air swirls in the dantian, cultivating further breakthroughs, reaching the seventh layer of Qi cultivation!

  After reaching the 7th layer of Qi Refining, Wang Chen's strength increased significantly once again. With the barely usable Thousand Jin Sword, it could be said that he was one of the few in the Qi Refining stage who had no equal!

  Wang Chen's cultivation, which had never relied on elixirs, finally paid off. His current magical power was now comparable to that of other cultivators at the same level, and its purity was even more impressive than those in the Qi Refining stage!

  This level of pure mana surge also has a great promoting effect on the breakthrough of the foundation period, which is why Wang Chen is happy.

  However, in order to preserve his strength, Wang Chen bought a high-quality flying sword artifact as his usual weapon! The Qianjun Sword was put away, serving as a trump card.

  For over a year, Wang Chen had accumulated a large number of spirit stones. A big part of the spirit stones were used to buy pills from Shi Tong, after all she didn't have her own method to rapidly and steadily increase her strength! The remaining spirit stones were also used by Wang Chen to purchase several foundation period talismans and rapid mana recovery pills!

  In this way, Shi Tong's cultivation, with the help of Dan medicine, actually quickly increased and surpassed Wang Chen, reaching the eighth layer of Qi Refining!

  Wang Chen and Shi Tong's relationship also progressed slowly, but Wang Chen was always preoccupied with cultivation and couldn't fully accept Shi Tong.

  This time, Shi Tian and several others invited Wang Chen to hunt and kill a demon beast. Because of his low cultivation level in the past, he had refused several times before, but this time Wang Chen agreed!

  After gathering at the west exit of Wufang City, the four set off!
