Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 175 Old Antique

There are also those who play with formations. In one episode, European robed magicians used Stonehenge to try to destroy cities like London and establish their new rule. Chen Long tried to stop them but was captured, bound to Stonehenge, and destroyed. At the critical moment, Xiao Yu summoned her father to solve the problem.

Transformation magic is exemplified by figures like the Origami Thief and the magical power contained within statues that can transform people into cats. There are many other types of magic as well, but the air magic used by Old Man and Blade Dragon remains the mainstream.

"Hehe, these items are all very useful, at least enough for me in the early stages." After tidying up her clothes, Cheng Yiyi glanced at the list of treasures she had specially prepared in her hand and used the cross-realm talisman.

This list was a carefully selected list of treasures from the entire storyline. Some items are neutral, meaning anyone who gets them can use them, while others have negative effects, and these items are often very powerful.

[Treasure List]

The Holy Lord's Treasure Trove: The Complete Book of Magic: This book records various spells of ancient demons and is a valuable resource for understanding and learning demon magic.

The Cup of Life: Drinking from the Cup of Life grants immortality, but straying from it will quickly lead to aging and death. This is a treasure of the Mantabrians of the Lost City (Note: It can save your life if necessary).

Yin-Yang Sphere: Possesses immense magical power, but it only works when the Yin and Yang hemispheres are combined. The Yin hemisphere resides in a deep-sea canyon, guarded by an eight-eyed ancient octopus; the Yang hemisphere is atop a high volcano, guarded by an ancient volcanic eagle (Note: It embodies the concept of Yin and Yang, and is worth following).

Teleportation Necklace - Eye of Aurora: It seems that you need to say the name of the place to teleport, and the teleportation range seems to be quite large, making it a convenient transportation treasure.

Gilani Emerald: Those who buy it will be plagued by an inescapable curse. The way to break the curse is to put it back in its original place. Once the cursed person is taken away by someone else against their will, the curse will remain on that person until death. When the victim voluntarily gives it away, the curse will be transferred to that person (Note: This involves the power of luck).

The Shivas Bracelet: It can give a person an extra head and two arms.

Undying God Armor: Useful.

Ghost Mask: Worth considering.

Black Qi Sealing Material: Worth considering.

A first-rank martial artist typically has between 180 and 250 calories of qi and blood. They can choose to temper their upper or lower limb bones; the upper limbs have 64 bones, and the lower limbs have 62. After tempering, the bones become as hard as iron, and the qi and blood surge like a rainbow, unleashing a power comparable to cold weapons. When either the upper or lower limb bones are fully tempered, one reaches the peak of the first rank. Once the qi and blood reach the required standard, one can break through to the second rank.

A second-grade martial artist's blood and energy levels range from 250 to 400 calories. If the lower limb bones are fully tempered at the first grade, the upper limb bones are tempered at the second grade, and vice versa. When all four limb bones have been tempered, one reaches the peak of the second grade.

A third-rank martial artist's blood and qi range from 400 to 1000 calories. Their blood and qi can barely leave their body; when their qi and strength are combined, they reach the peak of the third rank. As long as they protect their vital organs, they can directly withstand firearms. Although bullets will still cause injury, fatal damage is rare, and they can maintain their combat effectiveness.

The upper limit difference between the high-level martial arts world and the cultivation world is not that large, but the difference is still quite significant in the lower stages. The higher the realm in the high-level martial arts world, the greater the gap. The first to third ranks of low-level martial artists can actually be summarized as the Bone Tempering Realm in ordinary fantasy novels.

The cultivation system in the world of Xiu Liao is quite unique, as it doesn't distinguish between physical cultivation and spiritual cultivation. The main focus of cultivation is physical constitution, internal energy (blood, qi, etc.), and spiritual power. Furthermore, it requires that internal energy be guided by a corresponding level of spiritual power, and that internal energy and spiritual power be contained by a corresponding level of physical constitution. This signifies comprehensive development.

The first step in cultivating immortality, the leap from the first rank to the mortal realm, involves externally cultivating basic fist techniques, leg techniques, sword techniques, etc., to temper the body and strengthen it, so that the qi and blood are full and overflowing. Then, internally cultivating meditation methods, the overflowing qi and blood are condensed in the acupoints.

Cheng Yiyi has now switched to the cultivation system, and she is almost finished with the six minor realms of the First Grade Leap to Mortal Realm. Her combat strength is enough to reach the level of a Third Grade Martial Artist. However, this situation only occurs in the early stages. As time goes on, the gap between the realms of martial artists and cultivators will become smaller and smaller, and it will be impossible for one realm to be equivalent to three realms.

The main problem is that in order to promote martial arts training among the general public, the early stages of martial arts cultivation have been broken down into too many details. The Bone Tempering Realm has been divided into three levels, which are further subdivided into early, middle, and late stages, as well as the peak.

"Hello everyone, I'm Cheng Yiyi. You must be Tyrant Song, right?" Cheng Yiyi met up with the others on the street. Joseph Joestar and Ai Haibara were both anime characters with very distinctive features, so the remaining clear-eyed male college student must be Song Shuhang. Of course, they had already seen his appearance when Su Yun did a live stream in the Ghost World last time, so it wasn't hard to recognize him.

"Hello, group owner." Song Shuhang smiled shyly.

"Wow, I didn't expect our group leader to get more and more handsome." Er Qiao still had that carefree, roguish look, though her clothes were a bit out of place with the people around her. Of course, her height was also quite striking; Song Shuhang, standing next to the over 1.9-meter-tall Er Qiao, had to look up to have a face-to-face conversation.

"Ai, we finally meet." After greeting the two, Cheng Yiyi warmly embraced Ai Haibara. More accurately, Cheng Yiyi held Ai Haibara in her arms.

Ai Haibara was powerless to resist as Cheng Yiyi held her in her arms. After all, Cheng Yiyi was about to achieve great success, while Ai Haibara had only just begun to master the basics and was therefore powerless to resist.

Ai Haibara: (-_-)
"Alright! You can let go now!" Ai Haibara pushed Cheng Yiyi away with all her might. Cheng Yiyi also released Ai Haibara with satisfaction and stood to the side.

"Huh? Where are Rick Morty and the others?" Song Shuhang looked around but didn't see Rick Morty. They had met in the Ghost World last time, and Song Shuhang was planning to say hello.

"They probably didn't teleport here and went off to have some fun. Of course, maybe these two are our opponents in this world." Cheng Yiyi, who knew Rick's situation quite well, saw what Su Yun said in the group chat and felt that Rick and his group were very likely to become the leaders of the Dark Qi faction.

"Isn't that Dad's antique shop across the street?" Song Shuhang pointed to the antique shop across the street, which looked quite old. Song Shuhang felt that the antique shop was probably much older than him.

"Hehehe~ Dad, we're here." This is a shop, so the door is open. Joestar took the lead and walked straight into the antique shop to greet his father.

Cheng Yiyi, who was standing at the door, wanted to knock, but seeing Er Qiao's attitude, she couldn't help but wonder if she was being too polite and making them seem distant.

Song Shuhang's gaze swept across the antique shop, looking at the artifacts from all over the world and throughout history, but he couldn't understand them. What Song Shuhang didn't know was that the oldest antique in the shop was probably his father's own. It wasn't that his father lacked professional ethics, but rather that he needed to consider where this antique shop was located—San Francisco, not back home.

Even in China, it depends on the buyer's own judgment. In San Francisco, these antiques are basically just for ripping off foreigners. Selling genuine antiques would be like selling out the treasures left by our ancestors, which is something my father would never do.

"Oh, you're finally here." Dad glanced around and didn't see Rick Morty, which meant they were more interested in the Dark Side. As for those strange magical items, Dad had seen how outrageous Rick's inventions were in the chat shop, so he naturally didn't think he would want them.

"Dad, these... these are your friends?!" Chen Long's eyes widened when he saw the two Qiaos and the others.

His father had told him before that since the Holy Lord and Daolong were joining forces, he was looking for help and had found a few friends to help them fight the enemy. Chen Long had assumed that his father's friends would be old men around the same age as his father.

It was quite a surprise to see them now. The oldest among them was Joseph, who looked tall and strong. Song Shuhang and Cheng Yiyi were both college students, and there was also a little girl who seemed to be a bit younger than their Xiaoyu.

"Little sister, how old are you today? What's your name? You must love adventures too, right?" Xiaoyu saw Ai Haibara next to Cheng Yiyi and excitedly ran over to ask her. Because she liked to share her experiences of fighting against demons, she was seen as an oddball and a freak by her unsuspecting peers, and was the kind of person who was isolated.
