Chapter 152 Zheng Zha: I've Become a Garbage Collector? [First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets]

[The "Weapon Fusion Body Refinement" technique, originating from the legend of the "Eternal Life Realm," allows one to absorb any divine weapon into their body, enhancing their own power. As cultivation deepens, it can completely dissolve the divine weapon, causing it to melt into the flesh and blood. This allows a specific part of the body to completely replace the original weapon's characteristics. Requires one A-level side quest and rewards 12000 points.]

The moment Zheng Zha saw the exchange, he was reminded of the evil spirit he possessed.

During the battle with Imhotep, the demonic possession had evolved to a very high level, and under the burning red flames, it gradually merged with his physical body!
If this continues for a while longer, the armor may become completely integrated with him and he won't be able to take it off!

“I know you’re thinking about being possessed by evil spirits… but I’m not here to solve your [dragonization] phenomenon.”

Fang Ge gestured for Zheng Zha not to get distracted and to listen attentively: "The basic function of weapon melting and body tempering is very powerful. It can incorporate any weapon or equipment into the body and use the hardness and sharpness of the weapon to enhance the strength of one's own body."

"With increased physical strength, the load when using explosives or destruction will be reduced accordingly."

"At the same time, the stronger the body, the faster the digestion speed, and the faster the digestion speed, the stronger the body, creating a positive cycle."

The expectations were naturally very positive...

Even Zheng Zha could imagine that he had melted down a full set of A-grade equipment, kept in a state of destruction, and yet his opponent couldn't do anything to him.

But he couldn't help asking, "Where did we get so many weapons and equipment? My own physical strength has reached a critical point!"

Zheng Zha only has this one A-level side quest. If he only refines the [Possessed by Evil Spirits] equipment... there is no significant difference between it and wearing it directly.

Once Qiang Liangxiang reaches Rank A, no matter how many times he is struck by lightning, the effect will be very limited.

"You can also smelt some special metals to obtain their properties... such as vibranium, the raw materials are relatively cheap at the main god's place."

Fang Ge continued, "Moreover, we have so much junk... ah, I mean redundant, obsolete equipment on hand. It's not high-level, so you can eat it extremely quickly. It can also improve your physical fitness to some extent."

"Take Thor's hammer, for example. I only need its handle. As for the hammerhead, you can take it and fuse it into your body. With the power of Thor and the runes within, you can also rapidly improve your strength!"

Furthermore, there is a large number of advanced weapons available for exchange at the main god's location.

For example, Tiger Soul and Heavenly Crystal, the lowest level only requires a B-level side quest, but apart from not having a weapon spirit, all the materials are no different from AA-level ones.

"Furthermore, the Weapon Forging and Body Refinement Technique can complement your [Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Technique]."

"Qiang Liangxiang and Zhu Rongxiang are body cultivation techniques... Body cultivation is naturally about refining the body to cultivate truth, and as long as it is cultivation, it cannot be separated from [runes]."

Fang Ge patiently explained to the Ape King, "Only by imprinting runes into the body can the body be no less powerful than those magical artifacts with runes."

"Mechanized weapon body tempering is a relatively convenient method of imprinting runes. This means that Chu Xuan can directly inscribe runes on some relatively ordinary weapons, thereby allowing you to fuse the runes into your body."

In an infinitely diverse world, each person will arrive at different conclusions when analyzing the same rune.

This is like an information black box, meaning that people can't just stack up rune analysis progress like they would with technology.

However, runes do not pose a problem for personal use.

For example, magical artifacts and spells can be used directly once their corresponding models have been constructed.

Furthermore, for non-orthodox cultivators, the analysis of runes can be outsourced.

For example, since Zheng Zha lacks analytical abilities, he could easily ask talented individuals like Chu Xuan, Qi Tengyi, or Li Shuaixi to help him analyze the runes, thus enabling Zheng Zha to understand how to use them.

This is a fairly common situation in the Primordial Heavenly Court, which is why Fang Ge insisted that there must be a [traditional cultivator] in the team. "Actually, I didn't understand the theory, but I understood the conclusion."

Zheng Zha gestured for Fang Ge to stop immediately: "To put it simply, it's about eating small peaches of immortality and foundation-building pills, along with consuming weapons. If you have any questions, just ask Chu Xuan!"

—Very good, you have mastered the basic usage of Chu Xuan.

Fang Ge nodded calmly, with an expression that said, "This child is teachable."

However, if I ask Chu Xuan for help, then going to his lab frequently will be unavoidable...

With his doubts resolved, Zheng Zha began to strengthen himself.

As for his C-level side quest, he purchased the "Dragon Land Cave Immortal Technique" scroll for Zhao Yingkong.

[The Ryuchi Cave Sage Technique Combination, originating from *Naruto*, is a Sage Technique from the sacred Ryuchi Cave. It allows the user to balance spiritual and physical energy, then add natural energy to achieve a balance among these three elements, thus condensing Sage Chakra. After obtaining it, the user will gain the ability to safely refine Sage Chakra, thereby gaining the ability to enter Sage Mode. It includes the White Rage Technique and Inorganic Reincarnation. Strengthening requires one A-rank side quest and 10000 reward points. Exchanging only the manual requires one C-rank side quest and 1000 reward points.]

Zhao Yingkong already possessed a cursed seal; Orochimaru had borrowed from Ryuchi Cave Sage Technique when creating the cursed seal.

This means that the girl has already developed a certain level of adaptability to Sage Chakra, making it much easier for her to cultivate the corresponding Sage Techniques.

The immortal techniques of the three holy lands each have different focuses. For example, the immortal techniques of Mount Myōboku place more emphasis on perception.

Fang Ge's chosen Dragon Cave Immortal Technique focuses more on developing physical attributes, which is an area that Zhao Yingkong needs to improve.

"You might not understand why, even with the cursed seal in place, I'm still having you learn some repetitive [Sage Techniques]..."

Even though her disciple didn't ask, Fang Ge still told her the reason: "Because the curse mark is passively acquired, it doesn't mean that you have completely mastered it. The cultivation of immortal arts can cultivate one's character and temperament, and at the same time, it also provides you with a new path."

"That's using the [Yin Seal] to seal the Sage Chakra!"

[The Hundred Healings Technique, from the Naruto series, consists of two S-rank ninjutsu developed by the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade. Exchanging for it grants the beginner-level instructions for using the Yin Seal and Creation Rebirth ninjutsu. Upgrading requires one A-rank side quest and 8000 reward points. Exchanging only the training scroll requires one C-rank side quest and 800 reward points.]

The so-called Yin Seal is an S-rank medical sealing technique developed by Tsunade.

This refers to accumulating chakra on the forehead during normal times, which forms a diamond-shaped mark on the forehead. This allows for micro-chakra manipulation, achieving instant healing, enhanced attacks, and increased speed.

Skilled users can even achieve the effects of preserving youth and improving physical function by using the low output and micro-adjustment of chakra within the Hundred Healings Seal, keeping the body in its prime.

By breaking the Yin Seal, the chakra accumulated within it can be released, allowing the Creation Rebirth Technique to be used. When activated, the cursed seal covers the entire body, and upon being injured, it begins to regenerate rapidly and automatically without affecting the attack rhythm.

"For those who master Sage Mode, the risks of Sage Mode are manageable. This makes it possible to seal away Sage Mode chakra."

Fang Ge looked at Little Apple with a hint of hope.

Little Apple immediately put on a serious expression and nodded, saying, "With the teacher's guidance, I'm sure I can master this skill!"

Zhao Yingkong's flattering words made everyone smile.

but……

"I do have techniques that can help you."
