Chapter 50

Lu Changsheng arrived in front of the woman's corpse, and after searching for a moment, a secret manual and a stack of silver notes came into view.

【Willow Leaf Blade】

Another high-tier blade technique manual.

Adding this one, he already had several blade technique manuals in his hands, and the next fusion was not far off.

Subsequently, he walked toward the corridor behind.

He prepared to search the old hag's lair.

Before long.

Lu Changsheng passed through a dense forest and arrived in a backyard.

A wellhead in front was located in the center of the yard, appearing quite abrupt.

He walked to the edge of the well and looked down.

He saw several skeletons piled up casually at the bottom, and next to them were several pitch-black round stones.

"Yin Soul Stones?"

Lu Changsheng's expression brightened, and he immediately jumped down.

"Unknown energy source detected, absorb?"

When he picked up a Yin Soul Stone, a prompt sound rang out.

"Absorb."

"Source Energy Points +6."

"Source Energy Points +6."

He kept absorbing until he had taken five, then he stopped.

He opened the panel to check.

Source Energy Points: 85.

Excluding the ones used for the 【Burning Blood Secret Art】 burst, his hands were wealthy again.

He looked at the plus sign behind 【Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt】.

No longer hesitating, with a thought, he clicked directly on it.

"Boom, boom..."

The blood essence within his body erupted crazily, like a volcano, and a surge of vital energy rushed from the bottom of the well straight into the high sky.

His entire body began to swell, and a large amount of blood essence roamed over his muscles.

Source Energy Points: -40.

【After your many years of bitter cultivation, the Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt has finally reached perfection...】

He did not know how much time had passed.

Lu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint shot straight into the void.

He clenched his fists, and a powerful sense of strength surged into his heart.

With this breakthrough, his realm was equivalent to Refining Meat Perfect.

His strength increased by another five thousand jin or so, reaching a shocking twenty-five thousand jin of giant strength.

This was already a peak that ordinary Refining Meat martial artists could not reach.

Ordinary martial artists at Refining Meat Perfect reached at most eighteen thousand jin, and that was only in cases of extraordinary talent.

Most people could not reach it.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng felt that he could continue to improve, which was also one of the benefits brought by perfect Refining Skin.

Since Refining Skin could be cultivated to the point of supernatural mastery, Refining Meat presumably could as well.

He looked behind 【Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt】, and sure enough, there was still a gray plus sign.

This meant it could continue to be improved, but he lacked the Source Energy Points.

Thinking of this, he was quite moved.

For him, this was also a huge good thing; as long as he had Source Energy Points, he could improve infinitely, and by always breaking through perfectly, he would naturally become stronger and stronger.

If it weren't for his deep foundation this time, he probably would have found it difficult to slay Cao Shi.

Seeing that he still had 45 Source Energy Points left.

Lu Changsheng did not hesitate, preparing to improve his blade technique to perfection as well.

Next, he prepared to stay in the city for a few days, so naturally, he would not need to burst his secret arts for the time being.

The situation was becoming increasingly tense, and he had to seize every opportunity to improve his strength.

Moreover, his Exotic Beast Clone had been exploring the deep mountains and old forests, and resources were collected every day, so he was no longer as strapped as he had been in the past.

"Add points."

He clicked on the plus sign behind 【Overlord Blade】.

"Hum..."

In Lu Changsheng's mind, it was as if a peerless blade master was practicing blade techniques.

Infinite insights surged into his heart.

【After your many years of bitter cultivation, the Overlord Blade has finally reached perfection...】

A moment later.

A prompt sound rang out, and this improvement officially ended.

Lu Changsheng gripped the Killing Pig Knife in his hand, as if he could feel the blade breathing.

He had a premonition that whenever he drew his blade, there would not be any sound, and he would be able to strike the target with absolute precision, and his strength could also be perfectly controlled. "Is this a perfect blade method?"

"I wonder what kind of power the next step, supernatural mastery, will be?"

Lu Changsheng's eyes were full of anticipation.

Source Energy Points: 5.

There were only a few points left after this improvement, but the metamorphosis of his strength was also extremely astonishing.

There was still 【Spiral Nine Transformations】 left to improve.

He urgently needed massive resources to once again metamorphose his own martial arts.

The Fire Ant Tribe tactics had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Relying solely on one clone to search was ultimately too slow.

Subsequently, he put away his thoughts, leaped lightly upward, and jumped out of the well.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Changsheng returned to the restaurant.

The next day, at noon.

Lu Changsheng returned to the county town, and after handing in the proof of slaying the demon, he received five points of Small Merit.

Then he turned and walked toward the Scripture Repository.

With Small Merit in hand, he prepared to exchange it for secret manuals to fill his own shortcomings as soon as possible.

According to his own ideas, he was still missing a top-tier defensive secret manual.

Only by perfectly coordinating with the Iron Cloth Shirt could he cultivate the most top-tier defensive power.

Only after cultivating two defensive martial arts to the peak would he have hope of achieving his dream of tearing apart demons with his bare hands.

Before long.

Lu Changsheng arrived in front of the Scripture Repository gate.

He lifted his foot and stepped inside.

In front was still that old man with white hair and beard, looking quite lazy.

He cupped his hands, bypassed the other party directly, and walked toward the second floor.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

As soon as he arrived on the second floor, he saw Xing Zhaolin with a book covering his face, lying on a rocking chair, looking very comfortable.

Seeing the visitor, Xing Zhaolin lifted his eyelids and immediately perked up.

"So it's Brother Lu, please come in quickly..."

He bounced up quickly and walked toward Lu Changsheng, his face full of smiles.

He dared not neglect the God of Wealth.

Lu Changsheng knew the rules well, threw out a silver ingot directly, and then got straight to the point: "Brother, do you know of any good defensive secret manuals?"

For professional matters, finding a professional person was never wrong, and he did not drag his feet.

"Yes, yes..."

Xing Zhaolin smiled and led the way.

Before long, the two arrived at a large bookshelf.

"These defensive secret manuals are the best among low-tier techniques; they require three Small Merits to exchange."

Xing Zhaolin explained with a smile.

"I recommend this one to you, brother."

Saying this, he took a yellowed ancient book directly from the shelf.

He handed it to Lu Changsheng.

【Golden Bell Cover】.

Looking at the three large characters on the secret manual, Lu Changsheng's expression flickered slightly.

"I'll take this one, and find me another defensive secret manual for two Small Merits."

He had also heard of this famous 【Golden Bell Cover】 long ago.

If it weren't for the fact that cultivation was extremely difficult and had strict requirements for a martial artist's physical fitness, it probably wouldn't be seen on the first floor of the pavilion at all.

However, these difficulties were nothing to Lu Changsheng; he only needed Source Energy Points and could just click them up crazily.

After filling it up in the future, he would conduct a fusion metamorphosis, and with his own Dragon Chant Iron Cloth Shirt, his defensive power would be pulled to the max.

At that time, his survival ability would also be greatly improved.

Thinking of this, he became somewhat impatient.

Before long.

Xing Zhaolin followed Lu Changsheng's request, brought over a 【Thirteen Great Guards Cross Refinement Skill】, and handed it to Lu Changsheng with a smile.

"This technique only requires two Small Merits."

"Many thanks, brother."

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly and took the two secret manuals.

The five Small Merits in his hand were all consumed.

Then the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Lu Changsheng took his leave.

After copying the manuals at the old man's place downstairs, he returned directly to his own small courtyard.
