Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Take out the copper bowl.

Place in forty-two Yi Jin Dan pills.

Forty-two Innate Grade 4 Yi Jin Pills can be exchanged for 420 days of pure cultivation.

Gu Chen chose to exchange.

The pill in the bowl vanished instantly.

A massive amount of cultivation power surged into Gu Chen's body.

The energy was used to reshape his entire body's meridians.

Inch by inch, the silver tendons were destroyed and reshaped, transforming into golden tendons.

His cultivation was constantly being depleted, and his meridians were constantly being reshaped.

Once all his cultivation was exhausted, Gu Chen was wrapped in fine, cyan-green lightning threads, with lightning patterns coursing through his limbs and bones.

The sinews nourish the wood, and the sinews connect all parts of the body, giving rise to endless vitality.

The Yi Jin Jing realm is complete!

Feel your own power.

With the addition of the Xuan Tie Body, he is at the mid-stage of the fifth realm of the Innate Realm, and he has the strength to fight.

He now possesses fifteen innate fifth-grade sacrificial pills.

The goal is to help him break through to the fifth level of the Innate Realm, the Sacrifice Realm.

A minimum of forty-four sacrificial pills are required.

He still needs 29 more, so he should use them slowly for now.

He will use them together once he has gathered another twenty-nine sacrificial pills.

In addition, he also possessed a special innate fourth-grade elixir, the Tiger Tendon Pill.

Tiger Tendon Pill is a breakthrough pill and is extremely precious.

It is dozens of times more precious than the Yi Jin Dan, a fourth-grade innate medicine.

Not all cultivators are like Gu Chen, who reached the perfection of the third stage of the Innate Realm. As long as there are pills, they can break through to the fourth stage of the Innate Realm without any bottlenecks.

Many people will encounter bottlenecks.

This kind of bottleneck might prevent some people with less talent from breaking through it and entering the fourth realm of the Innate Realm in their entire lives.

At this point, the Breakthrough Pill becomes especially precious.

A single Tiger Tendon Pill of Grade 4 innate level can allow a powerful expert who has reached the peak of the third innate realm to directly break through the bottleneck and enter the fourth innate realm.

Therefore, his value is extremely high for those who need him.

But it's useless to me.

He has now reached the perfection of the fourth stage of the Innate Realm.

The pills were useless to him; even when placed in the copper bowl, they couldn't be converted into any cultivation level.

Gu Chen planned to sell it.

Before leaving tomorrow, find Cheng Mengling and sell it to her.

A single Innate Grade 4 Breakthrough Tendon-Changing Pill costs around two hundred taels of silver.

Let's sell this Tiger Tendon Pill to her for ten thousand taels of silver.

She would probably be happy to buy it.

Then Gu Chen took out the two martial arts techniques of the first rank of the Traveler.

This is a martial art for travelers that surpasses even innate martial arts.

Its power is far greater than the Burning Wood Knife Technique he currently possesses, making it a perfect replacement for his Burning Wood Knife Technique and Gecko Wall-Walking Step.

Gu Chen placed the Demon-Suppressing Saber Technique into the copper bowl.

Copper bowl tip:

The first-grade martial art of the Traveler, "Demon-Suppressing Blade Technique," can be learned by spending five hundred taels of silver.

The martial arts of a first-class practitioner truly cost a fortune.

If he didn't have enough money on him right now, he really wouldn't be able to learn it.

Gu Chen put five hundred taels of silver into it, and the silver disappeared.

The insights into this sword technique instantly entered Gu Chen's mind.

[Spend 800 taels of silver to exchange for a minor level of understanding of the "Demon-Suppressing Blade Technique".]

The copper bowl serves as a reminder.

Gu Chen took out eight hundred taels of silver to continue exchanging.

An even greater realization entered Gu Chen's mind.

continue!

A profound understanding requires 1,500 taels of silver.

Gu Chen put the silver in.

Great swordsmanship.

Gu Chen was excited.

He went into the courtyard and immediately began to demonstrate this sword technique.

As he unleashed his swordsmanship, golden demon-suppressing runes appeared on his Fire Profound Blade. These runes could unleash a powerful force to suppress evil and cause great damage to malevolent spirits and demons.

Gu Chen sheathed his sword and stood there.

A mastery level of swordsmanship requires 1,500 taels of silver, while perfection requires at least 3,000.

Gu Chen conveyed his desire to exchange for the perfect sword technique insight to the copper bowl, and the copper bowl responded:

[Spend three thousand taels of silver to obtain a complete understanding of the "Demon-Suppressing Blade Technique".]

really.

He didn't have enough silver on him.

We have no choice but to give up.

He spent over four thousand taels of silver to learn this sword technique from beginner to advanced levels, and he had already spent two thousand eight hundred taels.

Now only a little over 1,400 remain.

He hasn't redeemed that martial art that combines movement techniques and lightness skills yet.

Gu Chen placed the martial arts manual "Flying Serpent Step," a first-grade martial art for travelers, into the copper bowl.

Small golden characters appeared in the bronze bowl:

[Spend 500 taels of silver to exchange for introductory insights into the "Flying Serpent Step".]

Like the Demon-Suppressing Blade Technique, it costs five hundred taels of silver to even begin learning it.

Gu Chen put five hundred taels of silver into the copper bowl and chose to exchange it.

The silver disappeared.

Gu Chen gained some initial insights into this unique lightness skill.

[Spend 800 taels of silver to exchange for a minor level of mastery of the "Flying Serpent Step" technique.]

The copper bowl serves as a reminder.

Gu Chen took out another eight hundred taels of silver to continue exchanging.

An even greater realization entered Gu Chen's mind.

The copper bowl then indicated that a high level of enlightenment would require 1,500 taels of silver.

Gu Chen chose to give up directly.

He now only has a little over one hundred taels of silver left.

He mastered the Flying Snake Step, which was at a minor level.

He arrived at the realm of the wanderer.

That should be enough.

The traveler's four realms.

Also known as the Middle Four Realms.

It has already transcended the scope of the lower five realms.

It is worlds apart from the innate, boundless realm.

Because the strong in the fourth realm of the Traveler have already developed true essence, which can fiercely kill enemies externally and quickly repair physical injuries internally.

As long as the internal organs are not pulverized immediately, they can be quickly repaired by using true energy.

Furthermore, it consumes true essence and allows one to fly through the air.

If Gu Chen were to face a True Yuan Realm expert now...

He had absolutely no chance of winning.

The opponent used their true energy, which could easily shatter his Xuan Iron Body and kill him!

The four realms of the pilgrim: True Essence Realm, Breaking Through the Aperture Realm, Transforming into the Sea Realm, and Forming the Core Realm.

These four realms are: after refining the five internal organs, one cultivates and generates true essence, breaks through the acupoints of the whole body, opens up the dantian and spiritual sea, accumulates true essence in the spiritual sea, and forms the primordial elixir.

The martial arts of the first rank of the wanderer.

Even at the beginner level, true essence is required to unleash its power; otherwise, its strength will only be comparable to the limit of a fifth-grade innate martial art.

They cannot reach the level of a True Essence Realm expert.

Although Gu Chen currently has no true essence in his body.

However, he cultivates the Five Thunder Innate Skill, and four kinds of power have been generated in his body: earth thunder, metal thunder, fire thunder, and wood thunder. He uses these four kinds of power to perform the martial arts of the first rank of the Traveler.

It can also unleash a portion of the power of a True Essence Realm expert, but it cannot last long.

Once he breaks through to the fifth level of the Innate Realm and generates the power of Wood and Thunder, he might be able to sustain it for longer.

The next day.

Gu Chen approached Cheng Mengling early in the morning.

"This Tiger Tendon Pill was given to me by the Night Watch. It's no longer useful to me, but I want to sell it to you. It will be helpful for your future breakthrough." Gu Chen took out the Tiger Tendon Pill and handed it to her.

"Tiger Tendon Pill, this is a breakthrough pill for the fourth grade of the Innate Realm!" Cheng Mengling was somewhat shocked upon seeing it.

She knew the conditions the Night Watch had promised Gu Chen.

This Breakthrough Pill is one of them.

Unexpectedly, Gu Chen no longer needed it and wanted to resell it to her. Could it be that Brother Gu has already broken through to the fourth level of the Innate Realm?

An absurd idea popped into her mind.

That's probably impossible.

But if he didn't have it, why wouldn't he keep the pill for himself later and instead sell it to her?

"That's right, now it's yours for just ten thousand taels of silver," Gu Chen said.

"Ten thousand taels," Cheng Mengling said. "Okay, I'll buy it."

Since Gu Chen really wants to sell.

Then she bought it.

During this period, the Cheng family's business expanded significantly.

She obtained a sufficient amount of Qi and Blood Pills for cultivation.

Now that his cultivation has reached the top tier, he can prepare to break through to the Innate Realm.

She couldn't use this fourth-grade innate breakthrough pill.

However, she could use it to exchange for breakthrough pills to advance from the first to the second level of the Innate Realm.

One Innate Grade 4 Breakthrough Pill can be exchanged for one Innate Grade 1 and one Innate Grade 2 Breakthrough Pill.

There will definitely be a way to exchange for it.

At that time, she will be able to break through to the first level of the Innate Realm and become an Innate Master like Gu Chen.

Ten thousand taels of silver, in exchange for the opportunity to break through two realm bottlenecks.

It might be expensive for some independent cultivators, but it's not expensive for her.

The Cheng family now has the financial means to pay for it for her.

He paid Gu Chen 10,000 taels of silver.

Gu Chen bid her farewell and left.

Let her meet up in Luo'an County at the next stop.

After leaving the Cheng family.

Gu Chen left Chiyang City directly.

Arrive in the wilderness.

He took out a human skin mask from the copper bowl and changed into a new set of clothes.

Disguised as a middle-aged rogue cultivator, he secretly traveled to the city of Zhenshi County.

This journey leads to the town of Zhenshi.

He only does two things.

The first thing to do is to report to Tie Yangtian all the Black Heaven Cult's strongholds and hideouts in Zhenshi County.

In addition, a list of all undercover agents placed in the Night Watch.

After putting on the human skin mask and changing his clothes, Gu Chen had already spent 1,500 taels of silver.

They exchanged all the information about the Black Heaven Cult from the copper bowl.

This includes information on all their strongholds and personnel within Townstone County, as well as the spies they have planted within the Night Watch.

Gu Chen had already figured out why he knew this information.

He then recounted how the Black Heaven Sect had threatened Wei Zhong's life to force him to go outside Chiyang City.

It is said that the Black Heaven Sect misjudged his strength, allowing him to kill Elder Yu Zhibo.

He obtained all this information from Yu Zhibo.

Second thing.

It means purchasing sacrificial elixirs.

The county seat was even larger than Huoyun Prefecture.

Danzong wasn't the only organization selling pills; there were several others. He currently had 8,600 taels of silver notes left.

He should be able to buy the remaining twenty-nine Sacrifice Pills and break through to the fifth realm of the Innate Realm.

Ten days later.

Zhenshi Town, the Night Watch.

Gu Chen approached Tie Yangtian and told him everything he knew about the Black Heaven Sect.

Tie Yangtian finished listening.

My heart was filled with unease for a long time.

This is because the information Gu Chen reported was far too detailed and far too shocking.

The Black Heaven Cult has actually infiltrated the night watch departments of several prefectures within Zhenshi County.

They've planted so many undercover agents.

With so many undercover agents around, it's no wonder the Night Watch has no chance of catching them.

He never expected that Gu Chen would, by a twist of fate, extract this information from an elder.

They had captured Black Heaven Cult elders before, but they were too stubborn to talk, and they couldn't get any useful information out of them.

Even if they obtained some useful information and discovered one or two of their strongholds, the Black Heaven Cult withdrew as soon as they arrived.

Now he understands where the problem lies.

"If your intelligence is true, then the Night Watch of my Zhenshi County will have to undergo a major purge," Tie Yangtian said.

"I learned this from the elder of the Black Heaven Sect. I forced him to tell me before he died, so it shouldn't be false," Gu Chen said.

"I will personally verify this secretly. Once confirmed, I will use the manpower of the Night Watch of Zhenshi County to wipe out all the Black Heaven Cult strongholds active in the four prefectures of Zhenshi County and completely eliminate all the spies they have planted in the Night Watch," Tie Yangtian said. "If successful, you will be rewarded handsomely."

"My lord," Gu Chen looked at Tie Yangtian, "this matter must be carried out in secret. The Black Heaven Sect, these rats in the gutter, have very strong reconnaissance capabilities. Once there is any disturbance, they will easily abandon their stronghold and retreat."

"Yes, don't worry." Tie Yangtian said confidently, "I won't use my subordinates. I'll directly transfer people from the city's night watchman's office. As long as the intelligence is accurate, none of these rats will escape."

"That's good then. I wish you all the best in advance, sir," Gu Chen said.
