Transmigrating to the Qi Cultivation Path, I became an outdated Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"If I remember correctly, when I cultivated the 'Blood and Flesh Rebirth Technique' to the initial stage of perfection in that cave, the total cultivation time shown by the water droplet was one year and twelve days."

The proficiency level is only displayed as [1/500].

After that, I traveled south and tracked them back to this place. A day had indeed passed, and I continued to use this secret technique to maintain my disguise throughout the process.

But now the total training time for this technique has increased by one day, and the proficiency level has become [4/500]. Doesn't this mean that as long as this method is used to maintain the disguise, the secret technique will essentially be automatically training?!

This discovery is remarkable. If it is true, the Flesh and Blood Secret Technique is essentially adding cultivation time to the water clock while it's running!

More importantly, this "Flesh and Blood Rebirth Technique" consumes very little magical power. With He Sheng's current magical power, maintaining the disguise for several years would not be a problem.

"If I could truly passively increase my cultivation time, wouldn't I be able to infinitely regress, regressing whenever I reached the limit, and repeatedly increasing my cultivation time in this way?"

He Sheng became excited. This was a great discovery. The joy in his heart even overshadowed the disappointment of not being able to fully recover the 100 million yuan deposit.

"It seems my exploration of the time-lapse mechanism is far from its limit; I'll need to experiment more in the future."

With a thought flashing through his mind, He Sheng stopped thinking about anything else and focused his attention on the plus sign after "Blood and Flesh Rebirth Technique," where the relevant cultivation information was immediately displayed.

After six months of arduous practice, your "Flesh and Blood Rebirth Technique" has reached the Great Perfection.

Not only can you change your appearance at will, but you can also control the texture and color of every inch of your skin, and even the frequency of your breathing and the rhythm of your heartbeat can be disguised perfectly.

This is thanks to your increasingly refined control over the skin, muscles, and bones; through the aid of subtle perception, you can even sense the minute changes within every single grain of flesh.

During this period of arduous training, you vaguely grasped some kind of mystery about the transformation of flesh and blood, and you tried to delve deeper into this understanding.

However, it was soon discovered that this secret technique had reached its peak, with no possibility of further improvement.

[You were not discouraged; instead, you prepared to build upon the foundation of perfection, attempting to innovate and forge your own path.]

[A month later, you will have to admit that with the current strength of your body, it is simply impossible to support this flesh-and-blood secret technique to reach a higher level.]

The "Flesh and Blood Rebirth Technique" is not some mysterious flesh and blood secret art; it was mastered in just one and a half years.

【Flesh and Blood Rebirth Technique (Perfect): 500/500】

(Total cultivation time: one year, seven months, and fifteen days)

"Judging from the cultivation information, this secret technique has the potential to advance further, but like the Soul Imprint Technique and the Rippling Intent, I currently lack the prerequisites to take it to the next level."

Both the subtle artistic conception and the Soul Imprint Technique require a greater spiritual consciousness as a foundation in order to advance further.

However, for the "Blood and Flesh Rebirth Technique" to break through to a higher level, such as the "Clear Wave Water Control Technique" which opens up a realm of "divine mastery," an even stronger physical body is required as a prerequisite.

"In short, it requires physical training."

He Sheng muttered to himself.

He was not opposed to body refinement. If there was a suitable technique, he would naturally cultivate it. After all, a stronger physical body could not only support further advancement in the "Blood and Flesh Rebirth Technique" but also provide an extra advantage in survival during battles.

"If Brother Piao's physical strength is truly formidable, even if he couldn't withstand the flying sword with his bare body, he wouldn't have been instantly killed by that sword-wielding youth, right?"

He Sheng then thought of the terrifying methods of the sword-wielding youth.

To be precise, although the opponent has a terrifying mechanism that ignores magical protection, it cannot ignore the existence of a physical entity.

Thinking about this, He Sheng felt even more strongly that body tempering was necessary.

"However, the body-refining matter cannot be carried out hastily; it requires further consideration."

He Sheng used the "Blood and Flesh Rebirth Technique" to make a few minor adjustments, making himself look indistinguishable from Wu Feng. He then took a spare set of clothes from Wu Feng's storage bag, put them on, and prepared to leave.

"But...why is Wu Feng so poor?!"

He Sheng hadn't noticed before, but after scanning Wu Feng's storage bag with his divine sense, he realized that this guy was really broke.

The storage bag contained less than five thousand low-grade spirit stones and four magical artifacts: two top-grade artifacts and two high-grade artifacts.

Besides that, there were some second-tier talismans and some pills.

All things considered, the total value of the items in the storage bag is estimated to be no more than 20,000 spirit stones.

He Sheng recalled the fragments of Wu Feng's memory that he had seen during the soul search, and then realized that this guy was actually a hermit cultivator.

In short, although this person is a second-tier low-grade weapon refiner, he uses most of the annual stipend from the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce and the spirit stones he earns from weapon refining to buy pills that enhance his magical power.

The remaining spirit stones were used to purchase Divine Sand to cultivate a secret technique of spiritual hammering based on weapon forging—the "Divine Weapon Bottle Forging Method".

"However, judging from Wu Feng's memories, although he was a second-tier weapon refiner, his ability to earn spirit stones was not strong."

As the enshrined weapon refiner of the Xiajiang branch, Wu Feng receives an annual stipend of 800 low-grade spirit stones and is required to complete the refinement of at least three custom-made magical artifacts for the Xiajiang branch each year.

The crafting fee for these custom-made magical artifacts is calculated based on the artifact's grade; even for a top-grade artifact, the crafting fee is only two hundred spirit stones.

In other words, Wu Feng can only earn a little over a thousand low-grade spirit stones a year from the Xiajiang branch.

Other income mainly comes from orders introduced by the Chamber of Commerce, as well as customers who come to us on our own.

However, crafting weapons is a slow process, involving everything from preparing the spiritual materials to controlling the fire and forging, then carving the forbidden patterns, and finally shaping the weapon.

The forging of a magical artifact can easily take ten days to half a month. If it is a top-quality magical artifact, it can take one or two months to forge.

In addition, there is the possibility of failure in weapon forging...

On average, Wu Feng's annual income is roughly three thousand spirit stones.

It seems like a lot, but after deducting the expenses for purchasing enhancement pills and cultivating the "Divine Artifact Bottle Forging Technique," only a few hundred spirit stones remain.

Judging from the income of a weapon refiner like Wu Feng, who was in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, He Sheng felt that his estimate of Piao Ge's savings was too low.

You should know that a weapon refiner in the early stage of Foundation Establishment is undoubtedly one of the top figures in the Silver Sand River region.

After all, in the Silver Sand River region, including these outside cultivators, there are only about a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators in total.

Even though Wu Feng is one of the top performers, his annual income is only three thousand low-grade spirit stones. Apart from the necessary expenses for cultivation, he can only spend five or six hundred low-grade spirit stones per year.

If we consider Wu Feng as a high-earning executive with an annual income of several million, then the assets Piao Ge has accumulated in the He family's secret vault are not just a hundred million, but several hundred million, or even close to a billion...

No!

This money must be recovered in full; otherwise, if I have to rely on myself to accumulate the resources needed for Core Formation, it will probably be an eternity!

next moment,

Without lingering, He Sheng transformed into a streak of light blue and sped off towards Xiajiangfang.
