Vajra Dao Fruit!

After learning that beyond the Silver Skin Realm lay the Flood Dragon Skin Realm and the Dragon Skin Realm, Li Changsheng cultivated even harder. He also realized that his full-body silver skin was nothing remarkable. Even in the inner city, there were gifted youths in the Flood Dragon Skin Realm. Such prodigies could easily break through to the Bone Refining Realm, Tendon Refining Realm, and Blood Changing Realm; their strength surpassed his by far.

His current bit of strength was nothing at all.

Of course, such Monster Prodigy-level geniuses appeared at most once or twice in ten years, so they were not easy to encounter.

In the days that followed, he used flawless-grade Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine to assist his Golden Bell Shield skin grinding cultivation. The Golden Bell Shield's realm steadily rose, while his physical constitution and qi-blood surged wildly.

Before long, he broke through to the Silver Skin Great Accomplishment Realm. One step further, and he would reach the Silver Skin Perfection Realm, qualifying him to attempt the Flood Dragon Skin Realm.

But he had yet to figure out how to break through into the Flood Dragon Skin Realm.

First of all, he did not possess an Ultimate Skill-level Skin Polishing Martial Art. If he had one, he might have known how to achieve the Flood Dragon Skin Realm.

He also thought of another method: cultivate several High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts and stack them together. Perhaps that would allow him to achieve the Flood Dragon Skin Realm as well.

But he had no channel whatsoever to obtain more High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts!

More days passed. Li Changsheng's skin grinding realm drew ever closer to the Silver Skin Perfection Realm, and he had consumed quite a few flawless-grade Hundred Refinement Secret Medicines. The value of those secret medicines alone would have been enough for many martial artists to break through to the Bone Refining Realm, or even the Tendon Refining Realm.

It had to be said that even major inner-city factions could at most nurture one or two Silver Skin Realm martial artists. Otherwise, the resource consumption would be too great for them to bear.

This day.

Li Changsheng's cultivation finally broke through into the Full Body Silver Skin Perfection Realm. His strength was incomparably formidable, but he also sensed his limit. No matter how he ground and tempered his skin, his body could no longer improve.

At this point, if he wanted to break through to the Bone Refining Realm, any Bone Refining Martial Art could help him complete the breakthrough. His chance of success was one hundred percent!

"Half a month remains until the fourth Dao Fruit appears. During these half a month, I'll refine more medicine!"

Li Changsheng began a continuous half-month of medicine refining. First, to refine more Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine; second, to improve his Medicine Refining Dao Fruit.

Soon, half a month passed.

Within his sea of consciousness, light burst forth and gradually formed a fourth Dao Fruit.

Then, the fourth Dao Fruit fused with his body, completely transforming into one of his Dao Fruit abilities.

[Vajra]

"Vajra Dao Fruit!!!"

Li Changsheng silently comprehended the knowledge fed back by the Vajra Dao Fruit and came to understand its power.

At that moment, his body was undergoing a transformation. His flesh, skin membrane, and bones were all transforming, improving his body from its very foundation.

With the Vajra Dao Fruit, his Physical Talent would improve considerably. At the very least, it could greatly enhance his aptitude for martial arts.

His Vajra Dao Fruit was only Level 0 now. There was only one way to improve it: eat!

Very quickly, he went out and bought a large quantity of steamed buns, then began devouring them like mad. Under the Vajra Dao Fruit's influence, he digested the buns at an astonishing speed.

The energy consumed from those buns was swiftly absorbed by the Vajra Dao Fruit and his body, granting the Vajra Dao Fruit quite a bit of experience.

That day, he kept devouring food, yet the Vajra Dao Fruit only gained 5% experience.

"This is only a Level 0 Vajra Dao Fruit, yet after eating steamed buns for an entire day, it only gained 5% experience? That's far too slow!" Li Changsheng said with a frown.

He guessed that steamed buns contained too little energy and were unsuitable for improving the Vajra Dao Fruit. He needed better food.

Thus, he bought a large amount of beef, cooked it, and began devouring it. For ordinary people, digesting beef was difficult; even martial artists had trouble digesting so much of it.

After all, before reaching the Viscera Realm, a martial artist's internal organs were much stronger than an ordinary person's, but not to an exaggerated extent. Their ability to digest energy still remained within the scope of ordinary humans.

But Li Changsheng was different. With the Vajra Dao Fruit, he could digest beef very quickly.

After one day, Li Changsheng's Vajra Dao Fruit gained 20% experience.

"Sure enough, devouring beef is quite effective for improving the Vajra Dao Fruit. It's much better than eating steamed buns!"

Every day afterward, he stayed home and devoured vast amounts of beef. He spent quite a bit of silver, but to him, it was worth it.

After five days, Li Changsheng's Vajra Dao Fruit finally leveled up.

Boom!!!!

The Vajra Dao Fruit broke through from Level 0 to Level 1, improving Li Changsheng's physical constitution considerably. Even his skin grinding realm showed signs of loosening.

"My skin grinding realm has loosened. Could improving the Vajra Dao Fruit help me break through to the Flood Dragon Skin Realm?"

As soon as Li Changsheng considered this, his heart surged with excitement.

He immediately used flawless-grade Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine again for skin grinding cultivation.

The skin grinding cultivation that had previously produced no effect now began to work with the Golden Bell Shield's assistance. At this rate, there was hope that he could complete the Fifth Skin Grinding Cultivation.

Afterward, he continued devouring beef while cultivating his skin. The two did not interfere with each other, and the cultivation even accelerated the digestion of the beef.

But now, consuming beef could only add at most 5% experience per day. It would take twenty days to push the Vajra Dao Fruit to Level 2.

In the blink of an eye, twenty days passed.

Li Changsheng's Vajra Dao Fruit finally broke through, advancing from Level 1 to Level 2. His physical constitution improved considerably, and he successfully completed the Fifth Skin Grinding Cultivation. Yet he remained in the Silver Skin Realm and had not broken through into the Flood Dragon Skin Realm.

"Could it be that the Fifth Skin Grinding still isn't enough to break through to the Flood Dragon Skin Realm? Do I need to complete the Sixth Skin Grinding?"

He decided to continue his skin grinding cultivation, but completing the Sixth Skin Grinding was much more difficult. The Golden Bell Shield seemed to have little effect now.

"I must continue improving the Vajra Dao Fruit and strive to raise it to Level 3!"

Li Changsheng thought to himself.

But he discovered that eating beef now had a negligible effect. If he wanted to reach Level 3 through beef alone, he feared he would not manage it even in half a year.

"Beef is still too low-grade. What should I eat, then?"

He tried eating some medicinal herbs, but the effect was not very good. Medicinal herbs only contained special effects; in certain aspects, the energy they contained was not necessarily greater than that of food.

Therefore, those medicinal herbs were only slightly better than beef for improving his Vajra Dao Fruit.

Unless he could purchase some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, he could not improve the Vajra Dao Fruit quickly. But such treasures were extremely rare, and he could not buy them.

"Can I eat Monster Meat?"

This thought suddenly occurred to Li Changsheng.

Monster Meat was not good stuff. No martial artist would eat Monster Meat. Like Demon Blood, Monster Meat contained Demonic Nature. Perhaps Monster Meat contained less Demonic Nature, but it definitely did not taste good. Moreover, if one ate too much, there was still a risk of Demonization.

But he possessed the Vajra Dao Fruit, which came with a powerful devouring ability. Perhaps he could avoid the side effects of Monster Meat!

"I need to buy some Monster Meat and test it. If I can avoid Monster Meat's side effects, I can devour Monster Meat to improve the Vajra Dao Fruit!" Li Changsheng said.
