Trading with Cao Jun!

"Reaching the Dragon Skin Realm in the Skin Grinding Realm actually forms a Body Divine Ability!!!"

Li Changsheng had never known about this before. His master, Xu He, probably did not know either. This might be a secret.

The Body Divine Ability, Azure Dragon Armor Technique, was a defensive Body Divine Ability, but it was powerful enough. Once he unleashed the Azure Dragon Armor Technique, his defense would surge severalfold, and his physical strength would increase as well, causing his combat power to soar!

He had now reached the initial stage of the Dragon Skin Realm. His true combat power was enough to rival a weaker Blood Changing Realm cultivator. With the Azure Dragon Armor Technique added in, he could kill even that sort of weaker Blood Changing Realm cultivator.

Starting from the Skin Grinding Realm, crossing the Bone Refining Realm and Tendon Refining Realm, then killing someone in the Blood Changing Realm—he had crossed three major realms!

Of course, this only applied to the weaker sort of Blood Changing Realm cultivators, those whose foundations in every realm were flimsy. Against Blood Changing Realm cultivators with even slightly stronger foundations, he was still no match.

Those Blood Changing Realm cultivators from the Evil Demon Society, for instance, all pursued breakthroughs in realm and cared little for their foundations. Most of them were not particularly strong in battle.

If he encountered truly powerful Blood Changing Realm cultivators, he indeed would not be a match for them. But with the Dragon Skin Realm's defense, along with the Body Divine Ability Azure Dragon Armor Technique, he could still preserve his life with ease.

Moreover, he had only just awakened the Body Divine Ability Azure Dragon Armor Technique, so it could only be considered at the beginner stage. If he continued cultivating it, bringing the Azure Dragon Armor Technique to the Minor Accomplishment Realm, Great Accomplishment Realm, or even the Perfection Realm, his strength would continue to rise greatly.

"No rush to break through into the Bone Refining Realm. I'll wait until the Dragon Skin Realm reaches the Perfection Realm, then make my push into the Bone Refining Realm!"

Afterward, Li Changsheng continued his Skin Grinding cultivation, but his progress became extremely slow. Even a High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art at the Perfection Realm found it difficult to temper his dragon skin.

"I need to cultivate another High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art!"

He began cultivating the High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art Azure Cicada Body. Yet even if he cultivated this High-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art to the Perfection Realm, it would be unlikely to raise his cultivation to the Minor Accomplishment Realm of the Dragon Skin Realm.

Now, unless he obtained an ultimate-skill-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art, or raised the Vajra Dao Fruit to Level 4, he had little hope of rapidly advancing his Skin Grinding Realm.

"Raising the Vajra Dao Fruit to Level 4 is somewhat difficult. Even the Monster Meat of Level 2 Minor Demons barely has any effect on me now. Could it be that I have to directly devour the Monster Meat of Level 4 Minor Demons? Or simply consume Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures!"

But Monster Meat from Level 4 Minor Demons was not easy to buy. The Evil Demon Society's previous stronghold had only sold Monster Meat from Level 1 and Level 2 Minor Demons. Unless he found another shop that sold Level 3 and Level 4 Monster Meat.

However, the Evil Demon Society had likely already set its sights on him. If he left Azure Steel Martial Hall, he might be followed by an Evil Demon Society martial artist. If a Viscera Realm martial artist from the Evil Demon Society attacked him, he would have absolutely no power to resist.

"If there were a Skin Grinding Martial Art that could alter my appearance, perhaps I could go out!"

Thus, he went to find his master, Xu He.

"Master, do you have any Skin Grinding Martial Arts that can alter one's appearance?" Li Changsheng asked.

"A Skin Grinding Martial Art that alters one's appearance?" Xu He thought for a moment, then nodded. "There actually seems to be one. It is called the Fox Skin Technique, a Low-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art that tempers the skin membrane of the head. But it can only make subtle changes to the face. Even when cultivated to the Perfection Realm, the changes will not be great. At close range, people can still spot some clues. If you maintain this martial art continuously, you cannot maintain it for long, and once you fight, you will be completely unable to maintain it."

"This Skin Grinding Martial Art will be enough!" Li Changsheng said.

"Changsheng, are you going out?" Xu He asked.

"Yes." Li Changsheng nodded. "Master, I cannot stay in the Martial Arts Hall forever. That would be detrimental to my cultivation!"

"Fine. Once I find this Skin Grinding Martial Art, I'll give it to you."

Xu He went to look for the Skin Grinding Martial Art.

Before long, Xu He returned with an ancient-looking Skin Grinding Martial Art manual. It was the Fox Skin Technique, which he handed to Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng examined it carefully. This Skin Grinding Martial Art was not complicated; it was merely a Low-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art.

With the enhancement of the Level 3 Demon Slaying Dao Fruit, he progressed incredibly quickly in cultivating Low-grade Skin Grinding Martial Arts.

Before long, he had cultivated the Fox Skin Technique to the beginner stage, then the Minor Accomplishment Realm and Great Accomplishment Realm.

After Li Changsheng cultivated the Fox Skin Technique to the Perfection Realm, he began making slight adjustments to his face. Not long after, a face that was only sixty percent similar to his original one, yet seventy percent as handsome, appeared.

If he changed clothes and kept a little distance, he would look like an entirely different person.

Then he used some brushes to make simple alterations, such as drawing his eyebrows darker. That made him even harder to recognize.

Once everything was ready, Li Changsheng left Azure Steel Martial Hall with a completely new appearance.

Sure enough, no one followed him along the way.

If someone had followed him, his powerful spiritual power as an Alchemist should have allowed him to sense it roughly. But he could not detect anything now, so no one should have been following him.

Black Market.

Li Changsheng inquired around, but not a single shop sold Monster Meat from Level 3 or Level 4 Minor Demons.

After all, Baiye City itself killed very few Level 3 and Level 4 Minor Demons. Moreover, many factions used the flesh and blood of Level 3 and Level 4 Minor Demons for research, leaving no surplus Monster Meat from such demons for sale.

However, he also learned which factions possessed Monster Meat from Level 3 and Level 4 Minor Demons.

For example, the Demon Suppression Division!

The Demon Suppression Division constantly hunted demons, so it naturally had quite a few demon corpses.

"I'll make a trip to the Demon Suppression Division!"

Li Changsheng returned to the Demon Suppression Division. After arriving, he entered using his original appearance.

Inside the Demon Suppression Division.

Li Changsheng met Cao Jun and immediately stepped forward to ask, "Lord Demon Suppression Envoy Cao, I have something to ask you."

"Li Changsheng, what is it?"

Cao Jun asked.

"Lord Demon Suppression Envoy Cao, I wish to know whether demon corpses of Level 3 and Level 4 Minor Demons can be exchanged for within the Demon Suppression Division?" Li Changsheng asked.

"What do you want corpses of Level 3 and Level 4 Minor Demons for?" Cao Jun asked.

Li Changsheng had already prepared an explanation. "Lord Demon Suppression Envoy Cao, I know an Alchemist who wants to use some demon corpses for research. If I can obtain them, I can buy medium-quality or even high-quality Skin Grinding Secret Medicine from him."

"Under normal circumstances, corpses of Level 3 and Level 4 Minor Demons are not permitted for exchange," Cao Jun said. "However, if you can acquire high-quality Skin Grinding Secret Medicine, I can get you some corpses of Level 3 and Level 4 Minor Demons!"

"Alright!"

Li Changsheng agreed.

He had thought it would not be easy to obtain corpses of Level 3 and Level 4 Minor Demons this time, but unexpectedly, he got them so easily through Cao Jun!

As for why Cao Jun wanted high-quality Skin Grinding Secret Medicine, it was probably for his family. In any case, Li Changsheng profited greatly from this deal, and Cao Jun did not lose out either!
