Seeking immortality begins with daily intelligence reports.

"But where did Mo Shouyi's storage bag go?"

On the way out, Li Shen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then a few guesses came to mind.

But he didn't take it to heart, since he was already satisfied with what he had gained from the trip.

However, as the saying goes, there is always an antidote within ten steps.

Li Shen soon encountered a living corpse three miles away.

His cultivation level has just reached the late stage of Qi Refining.

Half of her clothes were torn, revealing two different colored bags hanging from her waist.

After easily resolving the situation, Li Shen collected the soul crystal and a wisp of soul from inside, and then began to examine the two bags.

One is gray, and the other is light blue.

They are all storage bags.

The gray one must belong to this zombie cultivator.

There are quite a few things inside.

There are roughly five hundred spirit stones.

Moreover, one of them was a mid-grade spirit stone, which was simply placed next to the pile of low-grade spirit stones.

Li Shen was quite shocked by this scene and couldn't help but guess the identity of the living corpse.

To have such an attitude towards mid-grade spirit stones, one might be an elite disciple of a Golden Core family.

In his understanding, the rarity of mid-grade spirit stones in Yunhe Mountain Market was no less than that of high-grade pills.

There have been previous cases of high-priced auctions.

With this thought in mind, Li Shen didn't look at the pill bottle and magic artifact first, but instead turned around and started rummaging through a pile of miscellaneous items.

They quickly found a wooden plaque.

After examining it for a while, the wooden plaque had no special function and seemed to be only used to prove identity.

The front is engraved with the two characters "Wang Cang", while the back is engraved with the character "Wang".

"The Wang family?"

Li Shen secretly made a mental note of it.

Although he didn't know exactly what kind of power the Wang family possessed, he knew he should be cautious if he ever encountered them in the future to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

After putting the wooden plaque back, Li Shen looked at the bottles of pills.

The surface of these medicine bottles is marked with easily identifiable text.

Five bottles in total.

Three of the bottles contained Qi-restoring pills used to replenish spiritual energy, with six remaining pills of medium quality.

There was also a bottle of pills that Li Shen had never heard of before, called the Body Tempering Pill.

There were two inside, but their quality was surprisingly top-grade.

"Body tempering, body tempering, refining the physical body... Could this Wang Cang be a cultivator who has rebuilt his physique?"

Li Shen whispered his guess:

"High-grade pills are not easy to obtain, and storage bags are personal items of cultivators. If Wang Cang, a Qi Refining Level 7 cultivator, was able to snatch a storage bag from Mo Shouyi, who was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, then it makes sense if he follows the path of body cultivation, which emphasizes physical strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shen turned his head to look at the corpse lying not far away.

I re-examined his body.

Before long, it was discovered that Wang Cang had two sword wounds on his body.

One sword was at the left side of the chest, and the other at the side of the abdomen.

Then Li Shen noticed two shriveled pills lying next to a dead tree near Wang Cang.

Li Shen approached the withered tree, bent down, and picked up the two shriveled pills.

Although the medicinal properties had been almost completely lost, Li Shen, relying on his mastery of the fourth level of the Thousand Refinements and Myriad Transformations Hand technique, could barely determine that these two pills should be blood-replenishing pills.

The last bottle in the storage bag was empty, and the words pasted on it were exactly "Blood-Replenishing Pill".

Li Shen narrowed his eyes and, on his way back to his original position, gradually sketched out the scene in his mind.

When Wang Cang came to this secret realm, he encountered Mo Shouyi, a living corpse at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage. He must have realized that Mo Shouyi was different from ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators. Since Wang Cang was a body cultivator and likely had the identity of an elite disciple of a family, he had the idea of ​​seizing the treasure.

However, he underestimated the opponent's strength. Although he successfully obtained the storage bag, he was seriously injured and forced to flee. In the end, for some reason, he died here.

After thinking it over, Li Shen's gaze fell on the magical artifact.

This item is a pair of boxing gloves.

In terms of quality, Li Shen estimated that it should also be a top-grade magic artifact.

However, the damage was severe, and Li Shen disliked close combat, so he simply summoned a swarm of Soul-Devouring Ants for a feast.

Then Li Shen picked up the only jade slip in the gray storage bag, and couldn't help but feel a little more expectant.

After checking and finding nothing abnormal, I tried to probe it with my divine sense.

Inside is a martial arts technique called "Crushing Mountain Fist Manual".

The opening states that this is a body-refining fist technique that only direct descendants of the Wang family can learn. It is divided into seven levels, corresponding to the physical training and fist technique mastery from Qi Refining to the early stage of Golden Core.

Wang Cang's cultivation level was clearly only around the third level.

Li Shen carefully read the rest of the text, his brows gradually furrowing and then slowly relaxing.

This Mountain-Crushing Fist Manual is divided into two parts: Body Tempering and Fist Techniques.

The Body Tempering Chapter details how to temper the skin, muscles, bones, and blood.

It includes four or five methods for both external and internal use.

The conditions are quite stringent.

Even just the basic tempering of the skin requires a medicinal bath using the blood of a low-level, early-stage second-tier demon beast, combined with six or seven kinds of century-old spiritual plants.

It is said that if one cultivates the art of boxing to its fullest potential, the power of a single punch can be enough to shatter mountains and split rivers.

However, what truly caught Li Shen's attention was a note at the end of the cultivation technique:

"Our royal ancestors obtained a broken jade slip from ancient ruins, which recorded an ancient body-refining technique called 'Indestructible True Body,' but unfortunately it was only a fragment."

After generations of sages refined and supplemented it, eliminating the dross and retaining the essence, the "Crushing Mountain Fist Manual" was finally obtained, which is considered a superior body-refining method in the world today.

Body cultivation is rare, mainly because most body-refining methods are incomplete and the process is extremely painful, far less comfortable than the meditation and qi-cultivation of orthodox cultivators.

However, if one can achieve something, one will have few rivals among those of the same level.

Wang Cangneng, with his late-stage Qi Refining cultivation, was able to challenge Mo Shouyi, who was at the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage, even though the result was not satisfactory. This demonstrates the power of this technique.

Moreover, the collapse of mountains and the opening of rivers are not the end.

If given the chance, obtaining the complete ancient body-refining technique, "Undying True Body," would surely enhance its strength to an even higher level.

Moreover, the path of physical cultivation does not conflict with his current approach.

If mastered, it would be a fairly solid trump card.

"The technique is good, but the threshold for cultivation is quite high. I'll keep it for now and consider it carefully after we leave the secret realm."

Li Shen thought to himself as he put away the jade slip and the pill bottle.

Then he picked up the light blue storage bag.

After the examination, I probed into it with my divine sense.

As expected, there were no spirit stones left inside, and the pill bottles were all empty. Among the remaining miscellaneous items, the only two things worth investigating were the two jade slips lying there.

Li Shen took it out, examined it, picked up one, and the moment he probed it with his divine sense, his expression changed slightly.

The contents contain only one recipe for Rongyang Pill.

The recipe does not explicitly state which grade of pill the Rongyang Pill belongs to, but Li Shen happens to know the main ingredient of this pill.

It was the Supreme Yang Spirit Vine.

Of the remaining six auxiliary materials, Li Shen only knew two or three; he had never even heard of the others.

This is not the most difficult part.

The location for refining this pill is also important; it needs to be refined in a place with abundant earth fire, and the spiritual energy cannot be interrupted during the process, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted.

However, the effects after taking it really impressed Li Shen.

After taking it, it can gather a wisp of pure Yang energy in the body, which has a remarkable effect on dispelling Yin and warding off toxins.

It can further purify spiritual energy, giving the spells cast the ability to ward off evil.

After withdrawing his consciousness, Li Shen remained unable to calm down for a long time.

He had originally planned to use the Supreme Yang Spirit Vine to refine weapons, but it seems that refining the Fusion Yang Pill is a better option.

Weapons are ultimately external things; one's own strength is fundamental.

Li Shen suppressed the surging thoughts in his heart and picked up another jade slip.
