Eternal Honor
Chapter 15: Sixth Rank Red Jade Technique
Without any intention, Li Fuchen knew the candidates from other clans who had been selected to enter the Tempering Pool.
Guan Clan: Guan Peng
The Yang Clan and Shen Tu each had 2 ponds.
Yang Clan: Yang Kai and the other geniuses, Yang Hao
Shen Tu Clan: Shen Tu Jue and Shen Yu Liang
The efficacy of the Tempering Pool was close to the body of a low level mystic grade. In the entire Yunwu City, even peak level yellow grade body strengthening potions were rare, not to mention the possibility of finding a low grade, mystic grade. Thus, the main clan could only compensate by investing low-tiered herbs and letting them combine to produce mixed effects.
In general, a sprig of low-level mystic grade potions cost around 10 to 20 thousand gold coins.
The total investment in the Tempering Pool every 2 years is about 30-40 thousand gold.it might be possible to let 2 people soak in the pool, but the effect will be reduced by half.
"From that group, the one with the most significant increase was most likely Yang Kai."
To reduce the body to have a strength of 1000 kg is only an estimate. The effects vary from body to body. Some can get the power of 700~800 kg, others the power of 500~600 kg. When talking about 1000 kg of strength, the requirement was a high-quality bone skeleton, and other than Guan Xue, next was Yang Kai with a 3-star bone skeleton.
"My strength is now about 300~400 kg. So I'm not too far."
Li Fuchen tested his strength beforehand and could easily lift a 300 kg rock. Among the warriors of the Qi Realm, this was considered far above average.
Before he consumed the Stone Heart plant, he did not possess this kind of strength. But after he had completely absorbed the potion, his bones became harder and as he fought the ferocious beasts, his meridians and muscle tissue involuntarily grew stronger as well.
"It would be great if I had a physical purification technique." Li Fuchen thought to himself.
Physical purification techniques were a rare technique even in sects. There were rumors that first-rate body purification techniques, allowing one to obtain power equivalent to a top-tier demonic beast, and coupled with martial arts, they were almost without rivals.
...****************...
Deep in the night, a fading moon was seen hanging in the sky
In the cultivation room located in front of the bedroom, and Li Fuchen was seen circulating the Red Jade Technique.
Visible to the naked eye, a pale red glow was seen near Li Fuchen's abdomen.
It's been seen before, but it's not like before. The moment this happened, the fiery hot essence disappeared from Li Fuchen.
The red Jade technique tended towards the fiery attributes of the sun. The Qi of the Red Jade Technique had a tyrannical flame blaze, which actually helped to temper one's body, and took out all the impurities from the body.
As the blaze grew stronger, white mist was seen billowing from above Li Fuchen's forehead.
It was said in legends, when one reached a certain level of prowess. As they cultivated, different shadows could be seen above their heads, such as the shape of a sun, a flowing river, a blazing fire, or even a demonic beast.
The techniques learned will be reflected in the form of shadows. When the Red Jade Technique reached the seventh rank, a shadow would appear like a ball of pale red mist. The deeper one's cultivation, the denser the cultivated Red Jade Technique, a pale red mist would appear. As time passed, the white mist became opaque like steam from the fog. Just like when his father Li Tianhan boiled water.
Slowly, Li Fuchen's skin flushed red.
Unaware of how long time had passed, explosions rang out from within Li Fuchen's body. What happened next was a bright flash of pale red light near his stomach, the white mist above his head getting denser. Scorching heat shot out from his body, causing the room temperature to rise by one level. It was as if the room had an imaginary furnace, a very mystical sight.
At this moment, an astonishing amount of heaven and earth origin energy flowed towards Li Fuchen. This absorption speed had never been seen before.
his eyelids, and his eyes exuded a red brilliance. Li Fuchen muttered, "I'm finally slowly rising to sixth rank."
When at the breakthrough of the fifth rank, the complicated Qi channels within it had 5 meridians open. Now at the sixth rank, there was an addition of 7 meridians.
With the advancement of his technique, it would not only help his cultivation, but his Qi strength would become much more explosive. Li Fuchen punched the empty space, a great explosion rang out, even the dust on the floor spun.
Li Fuchen took out a fist-sized stone in the courtyard, stirring his Qi inside, and with a slight pressure.
Puffs!
The stone shattered into powder and leaked through the cracks of his finger.
"The Qi explosion has increased by at least 30%." Li Fuchen judged inwardly.
"It's time to choose a high-level yellow-class sword style."
Within the Li clan, there were only 3 high-level yellow-grade martial arts. Two of them are sword style and the other is palm style. They were respectively the Red Jade Sword Style, the Sky Lap Sword Style, and the Red Jade Palm Style. The high-level yellow-grade martial arts consumed Qi at an alarming speed. With Li Fuchen's current cultivation, it was still not suitable to practice right now. Without sufficient Qi, it would be impossible to cultivate a high-level yellow-grade martial art to the practical stage. But even so, Li Fuchen wanted to give it a try, if he could master half a technique, it would be enough to become his ace in the hole.
Diving into his soul spirit, he was able to observe that under the golden talisman food, the pale green soul spirit tone became darker. The green strands earlier started to spread, and when that happened, Li Fuchen felt his thoughts turning more nimble. It was as if he could solve the problem in the blink of an eye.
...****************...
As night passed, dawn had come.
The Martial Library...
"Hmm? You chose the Red Jade Sword Style?" Li Dexing, the elder was shocked.
"Yes." Yeah." Li Fuchen nodded.
Li Dexing stared intently at Li Fuchen, "Usually, one must be at least at the seventh level of the Qi Realm in order to learn a high level yellow grade art. Before that, no matter what your perception level is, it is impossible to reach a high level in art. It'll be a waste of time."
"I see, the city's genius contest is about to begin. I want to see if I can capture the sword essence from him."
"Your perceptive thoughts are the best in the Li Clan in recent years, maybe you have received some orders."
Li Dexing had the thought that Li Yunhai and Guan Peng possessed the Tempering Pool, but Li Fuchen was not that lucky, he had already lost this genius contest.
The high-level yellow grade scroll was not located on the 3rd floor, it was just an empty husk there. Reaching below, Li Dexing took out a wooden box from the drawer, this box should be brought with him at the end of the day.
Opening the box, inside there are 3 high-class manuals in yellow.
Removing the scroll of the Red Jade Sword Style, Li Dexing gave it to Li Fuchen, "There are 3 moves contained in the Red Jade Sword Style. With your common sense, understanding that first step might be possible."
"Thank you very much Elder."
Receiving the manual, Li Fuchen said goodbye.
From afar, Li Fuchen heard a commotion at the training ground.
"Looky! Li Yunhai actually lifted a stone weighing 750 kg, it was 3 times stronger than me."
"With such muscles, I'm afraid he doesn't even need to use his Qi to defeat us."
Discussions broke out heavily at the training ground.
"Did Li Yunhai just come out of the pond?"
Li Fuchen looked past the crowd and directed his gaze to the training ground.
