Dark Immortal Cultivation

This is my money from selling my firstborn child!

Zhang Qing took off the goldfish bag and immediately felt several hard objects inside.

He immediately perked up.

Zhang Qing eagerly opened the small bag and poured out three metal-like fragments.

Apart from their different sizes, the three fragments are almost identical in color, texture, and feel.

They should belong to the same object.

When Zhang Qing stretched out his finger and gently touched one of the fragments, he immediately felt a tingling, electric-like sensation on his fingertip.

[A powerful substance has been discovered. Should it be absorbed?]

This is it!

Zhang Qing's frustration vanished instantly.

The reason Zhang Qing agreed to sell Yuanyang earlier, besides being forced by circumstances, was primarily because the beautiful woman surnamed Hu agreed to his request.

Zhang Qing didn't need the other party's help to solve Xu Wu's troubles, nor did he want any money.

He only wanted a few fragments of ruins.

As it turns out, while the reputation of female cultivators in the Hehuan Sect is hard to describe, their credibility is truly impeccable.

Without any further hesitation, Zhang Qing immediately chose to absorb it.

Click! Click! Click!

With three consecutive cracking sounds, three conspicuous prompts appeared in his field of vision.

[Powerful Energy +0.3], [Powerful Energy +0.2], [Powerful Energy +0.3]

What a steal!

Zhang Qing was so excited he almost shouted it out.

That was a really good bet.

Although he just lost 0.6 of his physical strength, considering that 0.5 of that was boosted by the Strengthening Pill, the actual loss was only 0.1.

Having absorbed three fragments of the Void, Zhang Qing has now gained a total of 0.8 in powerful energy!

Subtracting the two, the actual profit is 0.7 (strong energy)!

Of course, losing one's primordial yang body might have some impact on cultivation.

However, unless one practices certain special techniques, this effect is basically negligible.

The main problem is the depletion of vital energy and the body's fundamental essence.

But right now, Zhang Qing only needs to think about it to make up for all the damage to his physical condition!

Add some more! Add some more! Add some more!

With great excitement, he immediately increased his [Physique] attribute back to 1.0.

For cultivators, especially lower-level cultivators, having a healthy body is also very important.

Besides being beneficial for daily spiritual practice, going out to scavenge, gather, and hunt in the wild can also help strengthen the body and better resist the influence of evil spirits and yin energy.

Most importantly, Zhang Qing has already experienced the benefits of high physical attributes.

Now let's take him back to the beginning, or even make him weaker.

How can anyone tolerate this?

But when Zhang Qing was about to gain another 0.2 points of physique, he forcibly resisted.

Powerful energy is so precious!

What Zhang Qing urgently needs to improve right now is his cultivation level and his combat ability.

Pouring a large amount of powerful energy into the physical body is clearly not the best choice!

Gritting his teeth, he abandoned [Physical Fitness] and used all the remaining Power Points to improve his [Spellcasting] attribute.

The data panel then refreshes.

Physical Strength: 1.0

[Soul: 1.8]

Martial Arts Skill: 0.3

[Spellcast: 1.1]

[Powerful: 0.0]

Everything can be enhanced.

As Zhang Qing stared at the rows of attributes in his field of vision, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He remembered that his initial [Divine Soul] value was 1.6, which was also the highest among the four attributes.

How come it's now 1.8?

Zhang Qingming clearly didn't invest even a single bit of powerful energy into his [divine soul]!

Could it be that……

He was so focused on his severely damaged physical body that he completely missed the changes in his soul.

The only explanation is what happened last night!

Zhang Qing's lips twitched.

Upon careful calculation, even without the three fragments of the ruins, he still made a profit!

Zhang Qing was both amused and exasperated.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, he quickly took a cold shower in the bathroom.

After drying himself off and changing his clothes, Zhang Qing left the inn.

This superior room is very comfortable, but unfortunately it's beyond his current means.

Zhang Qing was already very satisfied with getting a free night's stay.

Because he invested points in his physical attributes, even though the previous values ​​weren't restored, when he returned home, he still felt that his vital energy and essence had been basically restored, and he no longer felt completely drained.

Compared to its initial frail body, it has become much stronger.

Version 1.0 is sufficient.

For the next two weeks, Zhang Qing stayed home and rarely went out, except for occasionally going out to buy some supplies.

He devoted most of his time and energy to practicing the martial arts.

To improve his mastery of the "Blazing Fire Spell," Zhang Qing even bought a stone pillar specifically for testing spells and placed it at home as a target.

The main issue is that the walls cannot be damaged any further, otherwise the landlord will definitely demand a hefty compensation.

The house he is currently living in is rented.

The 1.1 [Spellcasting] attribute not only greatly improved Zhang Qing's cultivation efficiency, but also made his mastery and application of spells more refined and profound, and even occasionally gave him a feeling similar to "enlightenment".

It is important to know that sudden enlightenment in cultivation is extremely rare. Once it occurs, it often signifies a breakthrough in one's realm and a leap in strength!

Having experienced the benefits of enhanced spellcasting abilities, Zhang Qing became even more engrossed in his work, neglecting sleep and meals.

Time flies, and it's already the end of the month.

That morning, Zhang Qing, who rarely goes out to buy food, found the streets and markets unusually lively.

He quickly realized what was happening.

Today is "Yu Ri" (meaning "bright day").

"昱" means light or illumination.

The last day of each month in this world is called "Yu Ri," during which the black tide will cease to rise, and the evil will fall silent until it resumes the following day.

For Xiaoshiji, Yuri means a rare moment of peace!

If there were no clouds or fog, we might even be able to see the bright moon hanging high in the sky tonight, its light shining on the earth.

Therefore, it is quite normal for the camp to be so lively.

The number of stalls in the market surged, and many monks rushed to secure their spots.

Because there's a night market in the evening!

At that time, in addition to the people from Xiaoshiji, other camps of cultivators will also come to trade and exchange supplies.

Zhang Qing took a stroll around the market.

Although the number of stalls had increased several times, there was still no trace of any market goods.

He had completely given up hope.

There's absolutely no chance of finding a bargain here.

But Zhang Qing didn't plan to go home immediately.

He bought some naan bread and dried meat at the market and then left Xiaoshiji.

Head to Qingsangji, which is twenty miles away!

To increase his speed, Zhang Qing spared no effort to expend his magic power, creating a gentle breeze to empower himself, and continued his rapid journey without stopping.

After arriving in Qingsangji, he first went to the inn and booked a room.

Zhang Qing was lucky; there were still single rooms available at the inn in Qingsangji.

As night fell, Zhang Qing quietly left the inn.

He found a secluded spot, put on a black smock, and then covered his face with a mask.

Finally, he even wore a straw hat.

Having made thorough disguises, Zhang Qing arrived at the local market.

Normally, the market in Yingji is not open at night, and no one dares to set up a stall there.

But today is a bright and sunny day.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.

The cool moonlight shone on the market, illuminating the figures.

Many of them were dressed exactly like Zhang Qing!
