From the Iron Shirt Technique to physical sanctification

Chapter 84 Taking the Hook

The destruction of the Sima Trading Company caused a great shock in Chengtian City, especially among the managers of the major families' trading companies in Chengtian City, who were now like ants on a hot pan.

Cui Yuan's Study.

"Brother Cui, you need to speed things up about asking Cui Zhihan, the genius, to help us last time."

""

"Yes, Brother Cui, if the Sima Trading Company is destroyed today, it might be our turn tomorrow."

,

"We can't just sit here and wait to die. Even martial arts masters at the Transformation Realm can't save their lives. Today I saw it clearly: those two Transformation Realm martial arts masters from Sima Trading Company couldn't withstand three moves from the opponent. Especially that Niu Mancang, he's a monster. The knife had no effect on him at all."

"And that Yan Dao, he used to be a nobody, but now he managed to cut off another martial arts master's arm in just three moves. It's too strange."

"It's really strange. Zhang Yu is a mystery. I had people investigate him and Niu Mancang. All the feedback was that two years ago, these two people were ordinary people and not martial artists at all. In less than two years, they were able to kill a Transformation Realm expert as easily as killing a chicken. It's too strange."

""

"Yan Dao has only been Zhang Yu's disciple for half a year, yet he has already broken through the Transformation Realm. He was stuck at this level for a full ten years. How did he suddenly break through?"

"And Yan Dao's skill in swordsmanship has suddenly improved."

The crowd started talking all at once, and the more they talked, the more mysterious Zhang Yu seemed.

Cui Yuan had remained silent until now, when he saw that everyone had said enough, at which point he raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, please be patient. The Wanbaoge auction will begin in half a month. Young Master Cui has replied and agreed to our request. As long as we get the Seven-Colored Lingzhi to him, he will come to Chengtian City," Cui Yuan said.

"Great! With Young Master Cui here in person, that damned Zhang Yu is doomed."

"For the next two weeks, I hope everyone will keep a low profile and not provoke the Chengtian Sect."

"Brother Cui is absolutely right!"

Zhang Yu was unaware of the conspiracy among the merchants in the city, and he now faced a choice.

[Rock Solidification Technique, Level 4 (1/50000)]

[Soul Tempering Technique - Minor Success (1/100000)]

[The "Clear Breeze and Smoke" technique has broken through the limit twice (1/200000)]

The fourth level of the Rock-Stone Transformation Technique, also known as the True Qi Realm Technique, requires 50,000 points of proficiency.

This is a slow and meticulous process.

.

The fourth level mainly utilizes the power of the earth veins of the rock body to temper and nourish the dantian. According to Master Shi Cangyue, as long as one cultivates to perfection and then consumes a drop of the Ten Thousand Year Elixir, one can form the Jade Palace Dantian.

That's how he trained back then.

Zhang Yu calculated that it would take at least three to four months to reach the required proficiency level of 50,000.

After the Soul Tempering Technique reaches a minor level of mastery, the required proficiency level for mastery is even more terrifying, requiring 100,000 proficiency points.

Zhang Yu has already felt the benefits of the increase in his soul power.

He had never dared to use the full power of the Wind, Iron Soul, and Shattering True Qi easily before. Since he achieved minor success in his soul power, Zhang Yu had tried using all three at full power more than ten times in his extreme state before his soul power was exhausted.

Ten times is the life of ten True Qi Realm martial artists.

Zhang Yu was very satisfied and wanted to take it a step further, but he found that the level of proficiency required to master the Soul Tempering Technique was terrifying, so he hesitated.

Although the "Gentle Breeze Turns to Smoke Scripture" is a second-rate technique, Zhang Yu did not give up on it because it was very useful. Therefore, he wanted to break through its limits a second time and cultivate its final form, "Transformation into Smoke."

However, the proficiency level reached a terrifying two hundred thousand.

Zhang Yu stared at the 200,000 proficiency points behind the Qingfeng Huayan Scripture and fell into deep thought.

The more proficient you are, the more skilled you are.

The Qingfeng Huayan Scripture is a second-rate skill, so why does it require so much proficiency to break through the limits a second time?

Why does the Iron Shirt Technique require 20,000 proficiency points to break through the second limit, while the Gentle Breeze and Smoke Technique requires 200,000?

Zhang Yu confirmed it several times; it really was 200,000.

Transforming into smoke? What is transforming into smoke? The origin of wind?

Zhang Yu couldn't understand it, but he was very tempted.

"I still don't have enough disciples. If I could take on 100,000 disciples, I could conquer this world in a month, let alone three months. It's a pity that this broken system is so unhelpful," Zhang Yu sighed inwardly.

Name: Zhang Yu

[Realm: True Qi Realm]

[Apprentice 6/8]

After reaching the True Qi Realm, two more disciple slots were added.

"We can't waste it," Zhang Yu thought to himself.

A moment later, he walked toward the Chengtian Sect's training ground, preparing to take Gu Yu as his disciple.

During this period, Li Feifei was in charge of the affairs of the registered disciples, and Zhang Yu basically became a hands-off manager.

After his initial enthusiasm faded, he became lazy again.

I haven't been to the training ground for two days.

As Zhang Yu walked down Zhuque Street, he wondered who should be given the remaining apprentice spot besides Gu Yu.

The best candidate would be Su Lingxi, but unfortunately she is too far away, and Zhang Yu doesn't want to waste his time.

Li Mazi?

Loyal and hardworking, but lacking in talent.

Zhao Dun?

That won't work either; the qualifications are too poor.

Summer Frost?

The qualifications are also not good.

Zhang Yu frowned slightly, realizing that finding a genius was truly too difficult.

As he was walking, a large rat suddenly darted out from a nearby alley, startling him.

"What a huge rat!" Zhang Yu stared intently.

Chirp—

Then a distinctive whistle rang out from the alley. Upon hearing the sound, the big rat immediately turned back.

Zhang Yu saw it dart into the arms of a little beggar.

The little beggar touched the big rat, and it seemed as if his lips moved, as if he were talking to the big rat.

Huh?

Zhang Yu blinked, thought for a moment, and instead of leaving immediately, activated his Eye of Truth.

That's so strange, talking to a mouse.

He grew up reading online novels, so naturally he thought of a certain possibility.

Name: Wang Ergou

Age: 15

[Realm: Ming Jin]

[Cultivation Aptitude: Excellent]

[Comprehension: Good]

[Destiny: Possesses a natural affinity with all beasts, able to understand their language and communicate with them; extremely friendly.]

[Bloodline: Possesses a trace of Bai Ze bloodline]

"Huh? There's been a change?" Zhang Yu's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

There was no "bloodline" option before; this was the first time he had seen it.

Bai Ze: An ancient divine beast, knowledgeable of all things under heaven, and aware of the origins of all spirits and monsters.

No wonder this child can understand animal language; he actually has a trace of Bai Ze bloodline in his body.

It's very mild, but it can be purified and activated to transform the body. However, the system showed that Zhang Yu had never heard of any of the herbs on the prescription.

These are all rare herbs that have been cultivated for tens of thousands of years.

"Forget it, I won't think about it for at least a few years. However, this kid understands animal language and has excellent cultivation aptitude, so I can definitely take him as a disciple." Zhang Yu thought to himself.

With that thought in mind, he stepped into the alley.

When Wang Ergou saw Zhang Yu walk into the alley, he was overjoyed. He had been staying around the Zhang residence for the past few days in order to get close to Zhang Yu and then show off his talent.

Back then, his family was on the verge of starvation. That's how he approached Sima Zheng, gained his trust, and allowed his family to survive.

This time he used the same method, and Zhang Yu took the bait again.
