Chapter 91: Breaking Through to Marrow Tempering!
“Indeed, even if the foundation of Yuan Qi is the same, how mysterious is Yuan Qi, how vast is the Martial Path! The Human Federation’s journey into the Martial Path is ultimately very short, and most of the related resources can only be obtained from the Interdimensional Battlefields. Coupled with the influence of technology, some areas have not yet been touched, so it is possible,”
Shen Xing, of course, knew what this meant.
The fact that he could freely come from two civilizations meant that he could concentrate the brilliance of both civilizations in one body!
For example, the Human Federation’s basic training routine was far superior to that of the other world.
And now, this inscription seemed to be showing him the brilliance of the other world’s Martial Path!
“I need to collect more information about this thing. On the Federation side, I can also do some investigations. After all, there are so many research institutions, it’s possible that some of them have researched something… If there really isn’t any, then when I have the conditions, I’ll set up my own institution!” Shen Xing, in his excitement, was constantly thinking in his mind.
He also didn’t forget that there was another inscription on the spiritual armor here.
Moreover, this inscription was clearly for defense.
If he could master it…
Shen Xing looked at the spiritual armor again, focusing on the inscription on it, trying to extract its “learning package.”
If anyone in this world saw what Shen Xing was doing, they would definitely be shocked.
The inscriptions engraved on spiritual armor were completely different from those on leather paper, which were specifically for learning. The former, in theory, did not possess observable “true intent” at all. Instead, they were cast into the spiritual weapon during forging, becoming one with it, so that people could drive and use them.
Let alone learning inscriptions from spiritual weapons, even when looking at leather paper, those who had the qualifications and potential to learn were still one in ten thousand!
Otherwise, the Pang family wouldn’t have sent it out—their family had treasures, but they simply didn’t have anyone with the talent for artifact refining.
However, the Human Federation’s “Martial Path Intent Extraction Device” was undoubtedly a cheat.
As long as there was a demonstration video that hadn’t been specially processed, a learning package could be made!
Otherwise, anti-piracy wouldn’t have to rely on harsh and severe punishments.
The means of piracy were simply too easy.
Even with such severe punishments, there were still many people who learned pirated Martial Path Intents, but they dared not use them for their entire lives. They even had to be careful to avoid being seen, which could lead to copyright questions and severe consequences.
At this time, after continuous scanning and processing, a new learning package appeared again.
After resting and training for more than ten hours, Shen Xing studied again.
This time’s inscription was clearly more complex than the last one, but it was still only at the First Realm.
And after controlling Yuan Qi to draw it, a Yuan Power shield appeared in front of Shen Xing!
Even if its strength was far inferior to that of an Innate Realm expert, this was something that only Innate Realm experts could originally possess!
“It’s really amazing.” Shen Xing felt the drastic consumption of Yuan Qi in his body, took a breath, and stopped the experiment.
But his emotions were still excited.
Such inscriptions were like a brand-new path of the Martial Path!
As long as there was enough quality and quantity of Yuan Qi, or Yuan Power, it could be used!
However, he could also clearly feel that the inscriptions he used were much weaker and less efficient than when using the spiritual armor.
The transcendent materials used in the spiritual armor also seemed to have special amplifying effects.
“Firstly, there’s no need to spend time drawing, and secondly, the Yuan Qi strength it can withstand is also higher, because there’s no need to control or maintain the Yuan Qi, just cast it in all at once,” Shen Xing easily understood the reason.
Looking at it this way, although this method could also be directly used against enemies, it seemed that using it to make spiritual weapons was a better choice.
The system that had evolved over long years must have its mature aspects.
Shen Xing couldn’t help but look at his armor.
But he quickly shook his head.
This was just armor for the Body Tempering Stage, and the materials used were not even transcendent, and even the Yuan Qi conductivity wasn’t strong. After all, the Body Tempering Stage didn’t have Yuan Power at all. Shen Xing was still relying on his “half-step Innate” Divine Soul strength, plus taking pills, to gather Yuan Qi in his body in a short time, and barely manage to do it.
In addition, he also thought of his “Space.”
“From the beginning, I felt that Space didn’t seem like a Martial Path Intent in the conventional sense. As expected, this thing is more like an inscription, no, it’s probably even more advanced than an inscription, because there’s no need to use Yuan Qi to engrave the inscription, it can be used directly.”
Shen Xing felt the shuttle in his mind.
Clearly, this thing probably had a deeper connection with this world.
And there were not many traces of technology on it.
This also made Shen Xing look forward to this world even more.
Even such powerful and magical treasures could be made, who knew how many more surprises this world could bring him.
After calming down his emotions a little, Shen Xing went outside and ordered the Gong family members to find him some books and materials about spiritual weapons and artifact refiners.
Then, he returned to the training room and swallowed another First-Grade Bone Tempering Pill from the Spring Rain Trading Company.
No matter how powerful the methods were, cultivation was the foundation! Increasing cultivation was the most important thing.
And the quality of this batch of pills was even better than the five from the Pill Pavilion. It should be because of the main ingredients. For the Spring Rain Trading Company, hunting some powerful Innate Grand Demon Beasts was not a problem, so they could continuously provide this kind of pill.
For Shen Xing, the benefit was naturally in cultivation efficiency.
He roughly estimated that in about three more days, he would be able to temper all the bones in his body, and then start breaking through to the Marrow Tempering Stage!
Continue cultivating!
Two more days passed, and the two Gong family members in the Marrow Tempering Stage, using the Spring Rain Trading Company’s channels, delivered all the books and information they had collected to Shen Xing.
◈◈◈
Not only was there information about artifact refiners, but also about alchemists.
“So that’s how it is. The strength and status of artifact refiners are stronger than that of alchemists. After all, both inscriptions and spiritual weapons can directly enhance combat power. And no matter how many pills an alchemist refines, they can’t use them all themselves. Also, limited by their martial power, although their status is also high, it is still a step below that of artifact refiners.”
Shen Xing had a certain understanding of these two key “positions” in the other world.
In fact, after learning about the existence of the Alchemy Intent and alchemists, he also considered whether to lean towards this aspect and have an additional “side job.”
But he eventually gave up.
Firstly, this aspect was indeed not what Shen Xing was good at.
Secondly, the biggest advantage of alchemists was in making money, and in being able to provide themselves with pill resources.
But he didn’t lack money at all. As for pill resources, with his talent, the quality of the pills he needed would definitely not be low.
If he refined them himself, it would undoubtedly require a lot of energy to achieve a certain level, which would instead affect his cultivation time, and would not be worth the loss.
It was better to just buy them. If he really couldn’t buy them, then he would just snatch them!
On the other hand, Shen Xing was really very interested in artifact refiners.
That day when he saw the spiritual armor, he had a strong interest in the unique weapons used by the martial artists of this world. What was more important was that the Human Federation’s powerful expenditure was also on various powerful technological creations!
If he could combine the two…
Hiss—!
Just thinking about it made Shen Xing feel hot, and he couldn’t help but feel excited.
Moreover, just from the inscriptions, the methods of artifact refiners were indeed incredibly magical, and definitely not just for artifact refining!
“I’ll learn it!”
Shen Xing made a decision and couldn’t wait to open the books and materials related to artifact refiners.
After just a rough look, he had a certain understanding of this “profession.”
For all artifact refining, the key lay in two points.
The first point was the understanding of inscriptions.
The second point was casting the inscriptions into the spiritual weapon.
The former relied on comprehension, which was also the most difficult part, and was the threshold to becoming an artifact refiner.
Not to mention that only large families and powerful forces could keep the inheritance for learning inscriptions. Even if one was lucky enough to learn, the number of people who could eventually comprehend a certain inscription was one in ten thousand.
This led to the extreme rarity of artifact refiners.
For example, the leather paper that the Pang family sent was still collected when their power was at its peak. But until now, when they sent it to Shen Xing, the entire family had never produced an artifact refiner.
This also led to the scarcity of spiritual weapons.
Even someone with the status of the Pang family’s ancestor only had one piece of spiritual armor, which further highlighted the lofty status of artifact refiners.
The president of the Spring Rain Trading Company was said to be an artifact refiner!
As for the second point, that was relatively simple, and could be completed through experience, hard study, and diligent practice.
Of course, different artifact refiners often had different casting methods, and there were also techniques in this aspect.
“Do I still need to find an artifact refiner to learn the casting methods?” Shen Xing frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.
It was only normal to learn more when you didn’t understand something.
It was just that he still needed to plan it out carefully.
After Shen Xing finished reading all the materials, he temporarily put this aside and started cultivating again.
Two more days passed, and on Saturday, he finally reached the peak of the Bone Tempering Stage, having tempered all the bones in his body to the extreme!
Under normal circumstances, he would already be able to break through to the Marrow Tempering Stage at this time.
According to the Human Federation’s Body Tempering Stage tutorial, the best way to break through from Bone Tempering to Marrow Tempering was to continuously practice the basic training routine.
“The Marrow Tempering Stage can be regarded as the beginning of moving towards transcendence. The changes in this stage are closer to the essence than the previous three stages, and it is not achieved overnight, but rather a process of transformation that starts from the bone marrow and gradually spreads throughout the body.” Shen Xing stopped all Martial Path Intent cultivation, and once again put on the long-unused load suit and gravity device, and began to practice the training routine.
This was the first time he was practicing it again after a three-week interval, almost more than twenty days.
Shen Xing felt no unfamiliarity.
Moreover, this time, he seemed to be able to clearly feel that Yuan Qi was constantly flowing in his body, slowly passing through his skin, muscles, bones, and even his brain. As he practiced, it spread to every part of his body, rapidly integrating into it.
