Chapter 755: The Goal

"Wind Thunder Banana Fan."

"Heaven Dragon Fa Xiang." Sensing these two special Mi Fa flowing within his mind, Li Luo's expression also shifted. This kind of Mi Fa was not a Xiangshu, but its power was terrifyingly great; in a sense it even surpassed a Marquis-rank Art, yet its requirements were also extremely harsh,

because relying on Li Luo alone, he fundamentally could not bring it to bear. Only by gathering the strength of the banner troops under his command could it be successfully executed.

This was a Mi Fa technique tailor-made for the Twenty Banners. However, Li Luo was now within the Twenty Banners, so such a secret technique was like adding wings to a tiger for him. He estimated that if he could become the Big Banner Chief of the Qing Ming Banner, gathering the strength of the Qing Ming Banner's eight thousand troops, and then borrowing this Nine-Turn Secret Technique,

he might be able to experience the power to directly contend against a Marquis-rank powerhouse.

After savoring these two Nine-Turn Secret Techniques carefully, Li Luo set them aside. What mattered most now was not these secret techniques, but the Nine-Turn Sha Refining Art.

This was not only the key to raising his cultivation speed going forward, but also the deciding factor for him to command the banner troops under him.

Li Luo closed his eyes, and a great deal of obscure information surfaced in his mind. He sensed it carefully, spending a full half a day before finally opening his eyes, a look of shock within them.

"So this is a Ten-Sha grade Sha Refining Art? It truly is infinitely exquisite."

Li Luo murmured softly, his voice full of wonder. Compared to this, the Three-Turn Dragon Breath Sha Refining Art he had cultivated before was indeed only the most basic version. The marvel of this Nine-Turn Dragon Breath Sha Refining Art lay in the fact that it contained a special method capable of refining Dragon Breath. Through repeated transformations and elevations, that mouthful of Dragon Breath was refined to an extremely pure degree, and then used to temper

the Earth Sha energy drawn into the body. Naturally, the final result was that more Earth Sha Mysterious Light could be condensed.

This Nine-Turn Dragon Breath Sha Refining Art could be considered a top-grade Sha Refining Art in this world. If placed in a place like Da Xia, every faction would likely be drooling and eyeing it covetously. Although a Sha Refining Art did not possess the world-destroying might of a Marquis-rank Art, and it also had a great limitation—only being effective for those at the Earth Sha General rank—even so, the value and significance it possessed, in

the eyes of many factions, might not even be comparable to a Si Si Tianming grade Marquis-rank Art.

After a moment of sighing, Li Luo directly entered a cultivation state and began attempting the Nine-Turn Dragon Breath Sha Refining Art. The difficulty of cultivating the Nine-Turn Dragon Breath Sha Refining Art lay in the repeated refining and purification of the Dragon Breath; its methods were quite complex. Even though Li Luo had previously cultivated the basic Three-Turn Dragon Breath Sha Refining Art, he still faced one

failure after another.

The Nine-Turn method of refinement was far from comparable to the Three-Turn.

However, Li Luo was not impatient. Instead, within those repeated failures he sought experience, becoming skilled in the methods of refining and purification. After spending roughly half a day like this, he finally succeeded in refining a single mouthful of Nine-Turn Dragon Breath.

This mouthful of Nine-Turn Dragon Breath displayed a dark golden hue, coiling within Li Luo's body.

"Finally refined it successfully."

Li Luo let out a sigh of relief. The first refinement was always much harder; once he became familiar with it later, the speed would naturally pick up. ….

Next, Li Luo continued to absorb Earth Sha energy, pouring it into this single mouthful of Nine-Turn Dragon Breath.

In the end, when ten strands of Earth Sha Mysterious Light dove into the Water Light Xiang Palace like flying birds, a satisfied smile appeared on Li Luo's face. Although the Nine-Turn Dragon Breath Sha Refining Art only produced three more strands of Earth Sha Mysterious Light each time compared to the Six-Turn Sha Refining Art, the daily Sha Refining Art could be operated several times. Slowly, as days and months accumulated, the gap between them would likely require a rather

considerable quantity of high-grade Yuan Sha Pills to make up for.

But high-grade Yuan Sha Pills were not candy beans; one could not truly use them without restraint, or else it would affect the foundation, causing future advancement to become even more difficult.

"Now that I have the Nine-Turn Dragon Breath Sha Refining Art, and adding the Qing Ming Banner's monthly stipend, by estimation I can cultivate around fourteen hundred strands of Earth Sha Mysterious Light per month." Li Luo's face showed contemplation. Currently, his Water Light Xiang Palace contained over two thousand strands of Earth Sha Mysterious Light. That is to say, at this rate, within two months, the Earth Sha Mysterious Light in his Water Light Xiang Palace would reach

its limit, and at that time the Water

Light Xiang Palace might be able to be strengthened to the Great Sha Palace realm.

This cultivation speed could be considered quite astonishing.

But Li Luo was not satisfied, because in less than three months, the Qing Ming Banner would hold the Big Banner Chief competition, and he had to obtain that position.

Because Li Jingzhuo had said that regarding the "Nine-Pattern Sacred Heart Lotus," he needed Li Luo to obtain the position of Big Banner Chief before he would give him some answers.

Therefore, whether it was for the "Nine-Pattern Sacred Heart Lotus," or to truly establish his footing within the Dragon Fang Branch and seek more resources and opportunities in the future, he had to take the Qing Ming Banner into his own hands.

And with that, when the time came, he would have to compete with that First Department's Banner Chief, Zhong Ling. The other party was currently at the Golden Sha Body realm, and was indeed much stronger than him.

Previously, Li Luo had relied on the "Black Dragon Nether Water Banner" and only managed to wound Mu Bi, who was still at the Silver Sha Body realm. If he were to face Zhong Ling, who was at the Golden Sha Body realm, with his current strength, his odds of winning were not high.

Therefore, his goal was, before the Big Banner Chief competition arrived, to strengthen at least his second Xiang Palace to the level of the Great Sha Palace realm.

The second Xiang Palace, whether it was the Wood Earth Xiang Palace or the Dragon Lei Xiang Palace, was of a lower grade than the Water Light Xiang Palace, so the containment limit of the Lesser Sha Palace realm was only around four thousand.

Calculating it this way, if he wanted to achieve his goal, then in the coming less than three months, he would need to condense nearly eight thousand strands of Earth Sha Mysterious Light... averaging out, he would need to reach around two thousand five hundred strands per month.

"Hiss." Calculating it this way, Li Luo immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Two thousand five hundred strands of Earth Sha Mysterious Light per month—what an astonishing speed that was. Even on his side, adding the Ten-Sha grade Sha Refining Art and the high-grade Yuan Sha Pills obtained from his two identities,

he was still about a thousand strands short of this per month.

At such a speed, Li Luo dared to say that even within this Inner Shenzhou, the number of heavenly talents who could achieve it could probably be counted on one hand, right?

Li Luo's thoughts churned. Where should he scrape together that extra thousand strands of Earth Sha Mysterious Light per month?

If relying on high-grade Yuan Sha Pills, then he would need nearly two hundred more per month. That seemed unlikely, after all, relying on two monthly stipends, he currently only had fifty per month.

And as said before, purely relying on high-grade Yuan Sha Pills to pile up Earth Sha Mysterious Light was not a particularly wise thing to do.

If that was the case, then only one final direction remained.

The Seventy-Two Layer Sha Demon Cave.

Li Luo's fingers lightly tapped his knee. Perhaps, to obtain that extra thousand strands of Earth Sha Mysterious Light, in the coming days he could only think of a way from here.

However, the Sha Demon Cave could not be solved by a single person; he needed to borrow the strength of the Fifth Department. And with that, he also needed to master the "Return Dragon Art" and successfully achieve "Qi Union" with the banner troops under his command.

Li Luo nodded slightly. There were still six days until the next opening of the Sha Demon Cave. It seemed that within these six days, his main focus would have to be placed on this "Qi Union." In the end, he could only hope that the harvest from the Sha Demon Cave would be worthy of his effort and expectations..
