Chapter 68: Profit from a Disaster

Gudong! Gudong!

The moment he entered the Cold Pond Gold Liquid, it directly entered his body through his pores before flowing through his blood vessels.

The ice-cold aura almost froze him.

To his shock, a figure cultivating <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> appeared in his mind.

Gang qi cultivated with <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> was ice-attributed, so he could absorb this cold qi.

Thinking this, Ling Xiao didn’t dare to be careless. He immediately circulated his gang qi according to <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>’s circulation method.

Soon, he absorbed the cold qi and condensed it into gang qi.

The gang qi he had used up before was quickly replenished.

Upon successfully cultivating the first layer of <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>, his cultivation unexpectedly stabilized at Peak Rank Four Martial Vein.

Although he had been close before, he had still missed it by a small gap. But now, he had actually reached Peak Rank Four Martial Vein in such a short time.

Breaking through to Rank Five Martial Vein seemed possible.

However, although he absorbed the cold qi, the golden liquid mixing with his blood made him very uncomfortable.

Ling Xiao desperately simultaneously cultivated <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>.

Under normal circumstances, no one could cultivate two martial arts at once because they would be distracted and unable to progress in either one.

However, he was in exceptional circumstances; he couldn’t worry about it. 

Sure enough, his body quickly absorbed the gold liquid contaminating his blood.

Wonderful!

This was simply too wonderful for words!

The cold qi was absorbed with <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> and substantially improved his gang qi.

The gold liquid helped <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> and improved his body’s resilience.

In addition, his soul unexpectedly wasn’t burdened by the strain.

This likely had to do with this Cold Pond Gold Liquid. Because he had previously entered “Enter Soul” state, he had exhausted his soul.

But after entering this pond, even his soul had felt well rested.

This proved that this Cold Pond Gold Liquid could also strengthen his soul to a certain degree.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have any soul cultivation secret techniques; otherwise, it would have been even better.

Nevertheless, he wasn’t greedy. The current situation was already his extremely good fortune. 

He closed his eyes and concentrated on cultivating <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> and <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>.

Both were peak martial arts, which gave a very different feeling from advanced martial arts.

With the passage of time, the Cold Pond Gold Liquid rapidly decreased. If anyone were standing here, he or she would have easily noticed this.

 In an hour, it had gone down by at least an inch.

However, the liquid allowed Ling Xiao to rapidly progress in his two peak martial arts.

The cold qi and the gold liquid were present in equal proportions, so the rates of his improvement in both peak martial arts were basically the same.

After another hour, surprise appeared on his face.

His cultivation base had displayed vague signs of breaking through.

At this moment, <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> had already been cultivated to the third layer, the small success realm.

His gang qi had reached an extremely terrifying level. In the aspect of quantity, not even average Rank Six Martial Vein martial artists were a match for him.

The improvement in his gang qi was honestly too terrifying.

Meanwhile, <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> had also broken through its bottleneck, reaching the fifth transformation.

The fifth transformation was the small success realm of this peak defense martial art. Now, his body had incomparable tensile strength and toughness inside out. It could be said that he was impervious to sword and spear.

Small success realm <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art> raised his defense to the level of Peak Rank Five Martial Vein or even stronger.

His physical strength was also increased by about 300 pounds, approaching 1,500 pounds in total.

In the past, his attack power had reached Peak Rank Five Martial Vein, but his defenses had been quite weak.

But now, his defense was somewhat stronger than his attack power.

As long as he stabilized the fifth transformation of <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>, becoming impervious to sword and spear should be easy.

Still, a guess was only a guess. Only actual battle would reveal the results.

However, he didn’t have time for that. It had been difficult to enter here, and it would not at all be easy to find more of this cold pond golden liquid.

Thus, he didn’t want to leave so quickly.

At the very least, he would raise his cultivation to Rank Five Martial Vein. He could always leave after stabilizing the fifth transformation of <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>.

Thinking this, he no longer hesitated. He continued cultivating <Snow Lotus Qi Formula> and <Nine Transformation Golden Body Art>.

He cultivated from day to night and from night to day once more.

<Snow Lotus Qi Formula> smoothly entered the fifth layer, and the gang qi within his body continued to improve, but he never reached his limits.

This proved that he could store much more gang qi than other people.  

His current capacity was already at Peak Rank Six Martial Vein.

Naturally, this was only more and not a qualitative change.

However, quantity had its own advantages.

In many battles, distinguishing the winner and loser could be difficult. Sometimes, the ultimate decider would be the amount of gang qi they had.  

After all, no matter how good a gang pi pill was, it would be worse than one’s own gang qi.

Another two hours passed before the gang qi within his body finally reached saturation. Soon, he would advance.

In this state, he could easily reach Rank Five Martial Vein without pills. 

To be safe, he still plucked a five hundred years old snow lotus and tossed this treasure into his mouth.

As the snow lotus entered his system, cold qi rapidly permeated his body and internal organs.

Then, it transformed into a life aura. 

With this life aura protecting his heart vein, even if he failed to breakthrough or suffered a qi deviation, he wouldn’t die or turn crazy.

Breakthroughs were extremely dangerous matters for martial artists. Without heart-protecting and vein-protecting pills, they needed other external things to protect themselves.

Snow lotuses could meet this requirement. 

Despite growing in an extremely cold place, it still had vibrant life, revealing how tenacious its vitality was.

The protective effects of this thing were actually much greater than heart-protecting and vein-protecting pills.

After eating the snow lotus, he directly circulated <Snow Lotus Qi Formula>, preparing to breakthrough.

Another day passed.

At night, many wild beasts began to roam the Crouching Dragon Mountain Range.

A giant Heracles Ape sat outside a strange dragon-shaped structure with a corpse of a rank six demonic beast beside it.

This was its dinner.

It furiously stared at that structure, cursing that the tiny human still hadn’t exited.

It could clearly feel that fellow’s aura, but it could not enter.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud sound echoed inside that structure.

The Heracles Ape immediately stood and roared at the night sky in annoyance.

Its intelligence was not inferior to a human being’s, so it knew that the tiny human had made a breakthrough!

Although that tiny human was still not its opponent, it realized that there must be something truly good inside this dragon-shaped structure.

Its eyes turned red as it suddenly punched.

However, like many previous times, it was useless.
