After learning of Ling Xiao’s true qualifications, White Cloud Great Master spared no efforts.
Although White Cloud Great Master had wasted a lot of resources on Ming Tian and Zuo Leng, he still had ten or so Heavens Bone Changing Pills since they hadn’t focused on cultivating their bodies.
Coupled with nearly 500 mid-grade spirit stones and about 100 high-grade spirit stones, Ling Xiao had enough resources to improve his cultivation before heading to Moonlight Sect.
With Heavens Bone Changing Pills, Ling Xiao naturally focused on <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.
His two clones cultivated <Divine Prison King Fist> and Snow Lotus Sword Art>, respectively.
Without even mentioning that <Divine Prison King Fist> was currently his strongest unarmed attack method, once he cultivated it to the perfection realm, it could evolve into a Transcendent Martial Art.
<Snow Lotus Sword Art> focused on comprehension where pills and other things wouldn’t help much.
As for his main body, he naturally focused on <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.
Since he had learned that there was a <Dragon Emperor Body Protection Art> above <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>, his motivation to practice was at an all-time high.
During this seclusion, White Cloud Great Master stayed by his side.
Therefore, Ling Xiao had the guts to eat three Heavens Bone Changing Pills at once.
Even if something went wrong, he had the help of a Transcendent Martial Artist. There was nothing to fear.
This was a benefit of having a master.
The medicinal effect of a Heavens Bone Changing Pill was very overbearing. It could make people see death while living. After taking it, one’s bones would shatter and regenerate. That pain truly made people feel like living was worse than death.
When taking three pills at once, the medicinal effect was naturally more terrifying.
Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to do this.
Ling Xiao had long cultivated <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> to the ninth layer to be able to use gold to restore his body.
Moreover, he had cultivated <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> to the third layer, so his recovery speed was much faster.
In addition, there was White Cloud Great Master, a Transcendent Martial Artist, beside him.
Therefore, he dared to go crazy.
Three days later.
With help from White Cloud Great Master, Ling Xiao successfully passed through the hellish torture and finally melted the terrifying medicinal effect of Heavens Bone Changing Pills.
Merely, it would take some time to absorb and digest everything.
At this moment, White Cloud Great Master had already left because Ling Xiao only had to absorb the remaining medicinal power and restore his body.
There wasn’t much meaning for him to stay here.
Shi Lei had left Hollow Cloud City yesterday, returning to the Elephant Race.
Dai Yuling and Leng Mei were at critical moments of their cultivation, so White Cloud Great Master went out to protect those two.
He didn’t want to make the same mistakes he had made before. Now, he tried his best to be as fair as possible.
The effect of three Heavens Bone Changing Pills was truly amazing. It directly made Ling Xiao’s <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> reach the peak third layer!
He estimated that it wouldn’t take much time to break through the fourth layer.
He still had seven Heavens Bone Changing Pills, so he believed he could make a breakthrough after using all his pills.
Merely, he couldn’t be impatient now. He needed to take time for his body to adapt to its current toughness, before slowly progressing once more.
Although he was very impatient to improve his strength, he also understood that some things should not be rushed.
Moreover, the additional benefit of these three Heavens Bone Changing Pills was that his cultivation base had risen from Late Rank Eight to Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein. He was already approaching the Rank Nine Martial Vein realm.
At this moment, only 20 days were left before Moonlight Sect’s recruitment day of Moonlight Sect.
White Cloud Great Master had said that it would take four to five days to reach Moonlight Sect from Hollow Cloud City, but that was assuming nothing happened along the way.
Therefore, he reminded his three disciples that they had to leave ten days in advance.
Now, Ling Xiao had only ten days to improve.
In these ten days, Ling Xiao worked hard to consolidate his cultivation of <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> while continuing to practice <Divine Prison King Fist> and <Snow Lotus Sword Art>.
Nine days later, Ling Xiao felt that his body had completely adapted to the peak state of <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>’s third layer.
He had finally comprehended the <Divine Prison King Fist>’s third style——Wuchang Twist.
While using this palm technique, his soul power would automatically coordinate, and his enemies would have hallucinations as if they had been seized by a Black and White Wuchang that had come from hell.
This palm technique would give both physical and mental damage. It was impossible for even many Transcendent Martial Arts to cause this terrible effect.
After absorbing the insights he had received from the battle between Hei Suo and White Cloud Great Master, he had finally condensed the second move of <Snow Lotus Sword Art>: ‘Meltwater.’
The first move, Flying Snow, was extremely fast and had a pretty good freezing effect.
The second move, Meltwater, could form a strange force field, causing opponents to lose their balance as well as disrupt their mental states. It could be said that once this move was used, opponents weaker than him basically wouldn’t be able to approach him.
In addition, he also got an unexpected gain: the number of golden dragon cells within his body had reached twenty.
In other words, just relying on these twenty golden dragon cells, he had 2,000 pounds more strength compared to an ordinary martial artist.
This was heaven-defying for martial artists below Transcendent Martial Artists.
One should know that even White Cloud Great Master, a Transcendent Martial Artist, didn’t have strength above 10,000 pounds.
What did 2,000 pounds of strength mean?
Feeling content, Ling Xiao went out to look for White Cloud Great Master.
At this moment, Dai Yuling and Leng Mei were still in seclusion.
He heard from White Cloud Great Master that Dai Yuling had already reached Peak Rank Eight Martial Vein, and Leng Mei had also broken through to Initial Rank Eight Martial Vein.
He estimated that they would soon leave seclusion soon and were currently merely consolidating themselves.
Naturally, Ling Xiao was very happy with his two friends’ progress.
“Teacher, this disciple has some questions. I hope Teacher can resolve them!”
Ling Xiao knew that they had to wait to set off to Moonlight Sect now because Dai Yuling and Leng Mei hadn’t yet left seclusion; therefore, he simply took advantage of this time to ask some questions.
“Oh? Speak.”
Now, White Cloud Great Master’s spirit had improved a lot.
Although a seven-star aptitude was not considered the best within the twelve sects, it was enough as long as Ling Xiao was stronger than Ming Tian and Demonic Flame Celestial Worthy.
He firmly believed that Ling Xiao could help him accomplish what he had once wanted to do but had failed.
“Teacher, you once said that above <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>, there is <Dragon Emperor Body Protection Art>, but this disciple doesn’t quite understand something. <Heavenly Dragon Golden Body> is already a Transcendent Martial Art; moreover, it should be one of the strongest Transcendent Martial Arts. How can there be a stronger defense martial art?”
White Cloud Great Master smiled and said: “That’s a good question. Well, the two children had also left the seclusion, so let’s wait until they arrive here before this Master answer.”
“Okay.”
Ling Xiao nodded his head.
After a while, Dai Yuling and Leng Mei also arrived in True Spirit Hall.
White Cloud Great Master signaled them to sit down and then said: “In your view, there are just secular martial arts and transcendent martial arts, right?”
The three people nodded.
“In fact, the so-called secular martial arts are all castrated version of martial arts. They have undergone many simplifications and castrations so that ordinary people can practice martial arts. They basically are not regarded as martial arts.”
