“Regardless, thanks.”

Ye Zhong laughed coldly in his heart before speaking sincerely to Wang Qian. In any case, the information she gave him made it clear that there wasn’t much time left.

“You don’t need to thank me. Even if I don’t say anything about this, you will still find out sooner or later.” Wang Qian shook her head. “Also, I have something to discuss with you today.”

As she spoke, Wang Qian retrieved a Universe Ring from her robes, she then passed it to Ye Zhong.

Ye Zhong looked at the Universe Ring in Wang Qian’s hand and asked, “What are you doing?”

Wang Qian hesitated for a moment before continuing, “There are 500 low-grade Spirit Stones in here, that’s all I can take out now. In the past, you might not think much of it, but these are enough for you to live a rich lifestyle for the rest of your life… the reason why I’m giving you this is because I hope that you can maintain a certain distance from Wang Mo.”

After saying this, Wang Qian sighed again. “Ye Zhong, originally, I had no right to care about the matters of the Ye Clan. This is why I’m kindly advising you right now, since you have no hope of practicing Martial Dao in this life anyway, it’s a good idea to just simply leave and become a rich man. No matter what, I don’t wish for Wang Mo to be implicated because of you.”

Ye Zhong was silent, but he didn’t decline the gift. He reached out for the Universe Ring. No matter what Ye Zhong was going to do in the future, if he didn’t have enough Spirit Stones, then he would find it hard to survive. However, since Wang Qian brought this to Ye Zhong, he naturally didn’t refuse it.

Ye Zhong didn’t explain anything. He looked at Wang Qian and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry. Wang Mo is my friend. I won’t implicate him, I’ll keep my distance from him.”

“I hope you remember what you said today.” Wang Qian gave Ye Zhong a strange look. Ye Zhong looked quite different today… both in tone and manners. If she was familiar with Ye Zhong, she would have thought that she had mistaken him for someone else.

After slightly shaking her head, Wang Qian didn’t say anything else and immediately turned around to leave.

After Wang Qian left, Ye Zhong scanned his surroundings, and then, he hurried back to his own residence.

Ye Zhong lived in a compound on the outskirts of Jiangzhou City. The small courtyard wasn’t considered large and elegant. The most important thing was that his surroundings weren’t crowded and the environment was quite quiet.

Upon his return to the small courtyard, Ye Zhong checked his surroundings carefully once more. Seeing that no one followed him, he entered his room and sat cross-legged on his bed.

After some thought, Ye Zhong took out the Universe Ring he got from Wang Qian earlier. He placed a Spirit Stone in his palm and stared at it silently.

Spirit Stones were essential items for a Martial Artist to cultivate. The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in Spirit Stones was of utmost importance in the First Realm of Martial Dao.

The First Realm of Martial Dao was called the Nine Layers of Body Tempering. In this realm, what a Martial Artist should do was to try their best to build their own foundation of Martial Dao, this was for preparation in breaking into the Primordial Heaven of Martial Dao in the future.

However, even the most common Nine Layers of Body Tempering for an ordinary person was something difficult for Ye Zhong to cultivate in at the moment.

Those with the Six Yin Meridians Disease were innately unstable, they had a weak physique, and were unable to channel the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into their bodies. If he truly forcefully trained, he would die before he could even reach the First Layer of Body Tempering.

Of course, nothing was absolute. He stared silently at the pure Spirit Stone in his hands, there was a strange expression on his face.

There was another name for the Six Yin Meridians Disease in the Three Thousand God Realms. They were known as the Daoist of Six Paths.

Back in the Three Thousand God Realms, Ye Zhong had once stumbled upon a fragment from the ancient times when he was exploring an ancient treasure trove. It contained a Divine Secret Art of Body Tempering specially crafted for the Daoist of Six Paths. Simply speaking, it was made to forge the body of people with the Six Yin Meridians Disease’s physique.

The Secret Art of Six Paths Buried Sword!

This was the name of the Body Tempering Divine Secret Art that Ye Zhong obtained in the past. That year, Ye Zhong was already qualified to breakthrough to the Three Heavens Realms. However, he naturally couldn’t cultivate this set of Body Tempering Divine Secret Art that was specifically aimed for those with the Six Yin Meridians Disease physique.

Although he was unable to practice the Six Paths of the Buried Sword Secret Art, Ye Zhong still managed to understand things about it after much inquiry, he found out that the Daoist of Six Paths seemed to be a very peculiar and powerful physique. Out of curiosity, he had always kept it in his mind. He was prepared to explore the secrets of the Daoist of Six Paths if he had the chance.

And yet, perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps this was truly inevitable. At this moment, the Six Paths Buried Sword Secret Art was the highest fit of usage for him right now.

Ye Zhong was speechless about this Body Tempering Divine Secret Art. It was completely different from ordinary body tempering arts. There was no need for him to train day and night. However, it still required a lot of resources for cultivation. The first three stages of Body Tempering, which were quite common, was something he could achieve through the Spirit Stones on his person. As for the other things he needed to practice the rest of six layers of Body Tempering, Ye Zhong wasn’t currently in the mood to think about these problems.

“The Ancient Body Tempering Divine Secret Art! Let’s see what kind of powers you have!”

Ye Zhong thought for a moment before laughing softly and tossing 500 Spirit Stones on the bed.

In the Martial Dao, one needed to cultivate a Spiritual Secret Art. For example, the Six Paths of Buried Sword Secret Art were considered as one of the Spiritual Secret Arts.

Spiritual Secret Arts were generally divided into three tiers: Common, Spirit, and Divine. Each tier was also divided into three grades: High, Middle, and Low. The Six Paths of Buried Sword Secret Art was known as the Ancient Body Tempering Divine Secret Art. Although Ye Zhong didn’t know which grade this Divine-tier Spiritual Secret Art was, he still knew that it was unimaginably powerful. There was probably no other Spiritual Secret Art that could match up to it in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!

After sitting cross-legged on the bed, Ye Zhong formed a strange imprint with his hands. He pushed it out slowly, and as he did so, some of the Spiritual Qi within the Spirit Stones spread out rapidly, quickly enveloping Ye Zhong’s body.

“Chi(*rip*)—!”

(TL note: onomatopoeia describe the sound of tearing something)

A strange sound was heard. Ye Zhong could feel a sharp pain on his skin, the Spiritual Qi that shouldn’t have entered his body began to flow inside as the mark on his hand changed.

A piercing pain spread throughout Ye Zhong’s body. Even with his willpower, he felt as if his body was being crushed by a mountain. The pain from deep inside his soul almost made him collapse.

“As expected of the Ancient Body Tempering Divine Secret Art! How interesting!” Ye Zhong swayed, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. He gritted his teeth as the mark slowly changed.

“Kacha kacha(*crack crack*)—”

(TL note: onomatopoeia describe the sound of cracking or snapping)

The imprint on Ye Zhong’s hands changed rapidly while cracks began to appear on the surface of the Spirit Stones. Substance-like Spiritual Qi was spiralling rapidly, gathering on Ye Zhong’s body. At the end of the day, Ye Zhong felt as if he was in an evening mist, his body covered in a blur.

For Ye Zhong, this Spiritual Qi was like evening mist, both the most potent poison and the most effective spiritual drugs. Each wisp of the Spiritual Qi floating could make him almost faint from the pain. But at the same time, after each of them entered his body, it also strengthened his previously weak body, as if these Spiritual Qi was nourishing his flesh.

“Peng(*bang*)—”

(TL note: onomatopoeia describe the sound of the impact)

After an unknown period of time, cracking sounds could be heard from the surface of Ye Zhong’s body. A thin layer of his skin began peeling off like an eggshell. If any powerful fighter was present, he would be surprised at this scene, because this meant that Ye Zhong had already entered the first layer of the Nine Layers of Body Tempering, the Skin Tempering Stage!

However, the change wasn’t over yet. After Ye Zhong reached the Skin Tempering Stage, the Spiritual Qi that had been lingering around his body flowed into his body at an even faster speed. It was as if his body was a sponge absorbing water, soaking everything around within him.

In less than the time it took to make a cup of tea (less than 15 minutes), all the Spiritual Qi that had been swirling around Ye Zhong was absorbed into his body. Then, when Ye Zhong slowly opened his eyes, a glint flashed across his eyes.

“The First Layer of the Body Tempering Nine Layers? The Skin Tempering Stage?”

With his insight, Ye Zhong could clearly see the state he was in right away. However, when compared to before his reincarnation, he was still an ant. But at the moment, this was equivalent to the appearance of a heavenly Martial Dao right!

The Six Paths of the Buried Sword Secret Art, as expected… The Body Tempering Divine Secret Art was truly aimed for those with the Daoist of Six Paths! One had to know that when ordinary people cultivated the Body Tempering Spiritual Secret Art, it would take them around a year and a half just to be able to advance to the First Layer of the Body Tempering Nine Layers. However, Ye Zhong was able to do this in night’s worth of time. Just this point alone was enough to know the power of this Body Tempering Divine Secret Art. Furthermore, Ye Zhong could vaguely sense that the Spiritual Power absorbed by him wasn’t like the other Body Tempering Spiritual Secret Arts. It could actually help him link up his Physical Body! This also meant that this Spiritual Qi was being absorbed by every inch of his skin, cells, and bones. This feeling was strange, but quite good. With Ye Zhong’s insight, he could easily tell that this set of Six Paths Buried Sword Secret Art could definitely make him difficult to deal with during the process of Body Tempering. Furthermore, Ye Zhong had a feeling that there were still some secrets that he didn’t know about. However, these things would still be needed to be verified for his future cultivation.

“The Six Paths Buried Sword Secret Art really is good! It’s just that it consumes too many cultivation resources…”

Ye Zhong sighed and stared speechlessly at the 500 Spirit Stones on his bed, all of them lost their Spiritual Qi. Even if these were only low-grade Spirit Stones, it still took so much energy just to reach the First Layer of the Body Tempering Nine Layers. He wondered how many Spirit Stones he would need to complete the first three layers of the Body Tempering Nine Layers.

“Spirit Stones! I would need a really large amount of Spirit Stones!”

Only by obtaining a large amount of Spirit Stones, and completing the first three layers of the Body Tempering Nine Layers would he be able to deal with all the troubles that might come at any time. This including the matters with the Ye Clan and Su Clan…

With Ye Zhong’s current predicament and identity, getting a lot of Spirit Stones was an extremely troublesome problem.

“I guess I have no other choice than to craft Talismans.”

After thinking for a while, Ye Zhong then finally decided to focus on crafting Talismans. The Unique Dao of Talisman Arts was considered to be another Dao; completely different from the Martial Dao.

Those who specialized in the Unique Dao of Talisman Arts also possessed powerful might. Among them, powerful cultivators were able to point at heaven to draw Talismans, these Spiritual Talismans could attack and kill everybody under the mountains and rivers, beneath the sun and moon.

Back in the day, Ye Zhong wasn’t only one of the first-rank strongest in the universe, but he also had a profound cultivation base in the field of Talisman Arts.

Due to the fact that his Master taught him everything she knew, Ye Zhong was also able to learn the secrets of her sect in the field of Talisman Arts, in addition to Martial Dao. When his Master found out that Ye Zhong was actually suitable for practicing the Unique Dao of Talisman Arts, she was extremely surprised. Ye Zhong wasn’t only adept at the Unique Dao of Talisman Arts, but was also extremely talented in it. However, Ye Zhong’s talent in the Martial Dao was also extremely dazzling back then. After reaching a certain level of cultivation, he gave up on the Unique Dao of Talisman Arts and focused on the Martial Dao.

Although Ye Zhong didn’t walk long-term on the Dao of Talisman Arts, his talent in the Talisman Art was still innate. However, at this moment, his Realm was still rather low. There was no way for him to draw powerful Spiritual Talismans, but regarding those low-tier Spiritual Talismans such as the Swift Movement Talisman, the Body Protection Talisman, the Energetic Talisman, the Spirit Cleansing Talisman, and so on, he shouldn’t have any problems.

The value of Spiritual Talismans here was extremely high. After rummaging through his memories, there weren’t many Spiritual Talisman Masters in the Great Zhou Dynasty who could freely draw Spiritual Talismans. If he could draw some low-rank Spiritual Talisman for sale, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to gather enough Spirit Stones to reach the Third Layer of Body Tempering.

After thinking of this, Ye Zhong went to the Market Square of Jiangzhou City and bought some beast skins and beast blood essence which contained some Spiritual Power. By using these, he could draw Talismans. If he entered the Primordial Heaven of Martial Dao and cultivated his Spiritual Power, Ye Zhong wouldn’t have to use such a stupid method. However, since there wasn’t a trace of Spiritual Power in his body right now, so this was all he could do.

Drawing the Spiritual Talismans without any Spiritual Power wasn’t as easy as he thought. Ye Zhong spent all the remaining Spirit Stones he had to trade for the materials. And in the end, he only managed to draw a sheet of Body Protection Talisman, a sheet of Swift Movement Talisman, and a sheet of Spirit Cleansing Talisman. As for the other materials, they were all destroyed during the process. Ye Zhong was only able to draw these with his original talent and experience. If it were someone else who wanted to draw a Spiritual Talisman without any Spiritual Power, it would be only a pipe dream.

After staring at the three sheet of Talismans in his hand, Ye Zhong was at a loss over what to do. After a moment, he finally placed the Body Protection Talisman and the Swift Movement Talisman on his chest. Although these were just the lowest grade of Talismans, their value was still extremely high.

Ye Zhong, however, was clear that he was currently in a dangerous situation. It would be better to keep these two Talismans to protect himself. As long as he activated these, his fighting strength should be able to increase by a level. In addition to his original fighting experience and skills, he should also be able to protect himself when facing off against anybody whose Body Tempering was one or two levels higher than him.

When he looked at the last Talisman, Ye Zhong let out a sigh of relief. The next step was to see if this Talisman could be sold to someone who knew its value. Otherwise, Ye Zhong wouldn’t be able to gather enough Spirit Stones for his cultivation.
