Dragon Skin Great Accomplishment!

The next day.

Li Changsheng brought ten portions of high-grade Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine to find Cao Jun, who then led him to a place within the Demon Suppression Division.

"Li Changsheng, this is where demon corpses are stored. After our Demon Suppression Division kills demons, people take away their corpses. If the corpses are not removed, other demons will devour them and increase their strength. So even if a demon corpse is not worth much, it will still be stored here."

"However, the powers in the inner city often need demon corpses for research. Some forces even raise powerful demons and use these corpses to enhance their strength. Therefore, most of the demon corpses here are claimed each month," Cao Jun explained.

Before long.

Cao Jun led Li Changsheng to collect three demon corpses here: two Level 3 demon corpses and one Level 4 demon corpse. All of them were Pig Demons, so there was quite a lot of meat.

These three demon corpses cost Li Changsheng ten portions of high-grade Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine.

"Li Changsheng, if you want to trade for demon corpses like these again, come find me next time!" Cao Jun said with a happy smile.

"Alright!"

Li Changsheng nodded. He then transported the three demon corpses back to his new courtyard rather than taking them to the Azure Steel Martial Hall, since he would have had no way to explain what he was doing with them.

After returning.

He immediately began roasting an entire Pig Demon corpse. It took several hours before it was finally done, and he began devouring it in huge mouthfuls.

Boom!!!!

The energy contained in Level 3 demon meat was immensely abundant, and its Demonic Nature was also extremely powerful. Yet under the absorption of the Vajra Dao Fruit, that Demonic Nature could not harm Li Changsheng.

"As expected of Level 3 demon meat. It really can rapidly increase the Vajra Dao Fruit's experience. Its effect is far better than Level 1 or Level 2 demon meat."

Li Changsheng quickly ate all the meat from that Pig Demon, gaining a total of 11% experience. That was already quite good!

Afterward, he continued eating the roasted meat from the second Level 3 Minor Demon corpse, gaining another 11% or so in experience.

By the second day, he began roasting the meat of the Level 4 Pig Demon. Once it was cooked, he started eating. This time, the experience gained was considerably greater—28% in total.

Having finished the Pig Demon meat, Li Changsheng needed to trade with Cao Jun for more. This time, he planned to trade for more Pig Demon meat. Perhaps it would be enough to upgrade the Vajra Dao Fruit.

Thus, he carried even more high-grade Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine to the Demon Suppression Division to find Cao Jun.

Demon Suppression Division.

"Lord Demon Suppression Envoy Cao, the Alchemist I know had a failed experiment and needs more demon corpses," Li Changsheng said.

"Fine. We'll still trade for high-grade Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine," Cao Jun said.

"Alright!"

Li Changsheng took out the high-grade Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine. This time, he brought out twenty portions in all, drawing a smile from Cao Jun. Even in the inner city, high-grade Hundred Refinement Secret Medicine was not easy to obtain. With Cao Jun's status, it was especially difficult for him to get his hands on it. Now that he could trade for another twenty portions, he was naturally very satisfied.

Soon afterward, he brought Li Changsheng to claim several more demon corpses, naturally using his own authority and merits. He still had plenty of merits, so he could afford the exchange.

This time, Li Changsheng exchanged for nothing but Level 4 demon corpses: three in total. One Pig Demon, one Cunning Wolf Demon, and one Fox Demon.

There were not many Level 4 demon corpses in the Demon Suppression Division to begin with. After this exchange, there were temporarily no more Level 4 demon corpses.

Still, Li Changsheng was satisfied. These three demon corpses should be enough to complete the Vajra Dao Fruit's upgrade.

After completing the trade, Li Changsheng took the three demon corpses back to his residence.

Once back, he began roasting the three demon corpses again. It took a long time to finish roasting them, after which he began eating.

The Cunning Wolf Demon tasted awful, while the Fox Demon's meat carried a fishy stench. But he still forcibly endured it and devoured it mouthful after mouthful. The surging energy rapidly raised the Vajra Dao Fruit.

60%!

70%!

80%!

Very soon, Li Changsheng's Vajra Dao Fruit finally broke through, reaching Level 4.

Boom!!!!

Under the influence of the Level 4 Vajra Dao Fruit, Li Changsheng's body began to transform. His foundation grew stronger, astonishing changes occurred within his body, his Physical Talent soared, and even his strength increased by no small amount.

He then swallowed the remaining demon meat, but it no longer had much effect.

"After the Vajra Dao Fruit reached Level 4, even Level 4 demon meat no longer works. I'm afraid I'll need to eat Level 5 demon meat for it to have any effect."

Li Changsheng muttered.

The effects of the Level 4 Vajra Dao Fruit were quite good. He tried cultivating the high-grade Skin Grinding Martial Art at the Perfection Realm, using flawless Tiger Demon Secret Medicine. The Dragon Skin that had previously been nearly impossible to improve now began to rise.

"Excellent. With the Level 4 Vajra Dao Fruit, I should have hope of breaking through to the Dragon Skin Perfection Realm!"

In the days that followed, Li Changsheng continuously refined Tiger Demon Secret Medicine, using vast quantities of flawless Tiger Demon Secret Medicine to steadily raise his Skin Grinding Realm.

The Azure Cicada Body also soon reached the Perfection Realm under his cultivation, successfully pushing his cultivation to the Lesser Accomplishment of Dragon Skin Realm. His strength surged once more!

On this day.

Li Changsheng's Medicine Refining Dao Fruit finally upgraded, rising from Level 3 to Level 4. At the very instant of the upgrade, countless pieces of medicine-refining knowledge appeared in his mind.

Only after some time had passed did he fully digest that knowledge, and his medicine-refining skill likewise soared.

Now, he could refine flawless Secret Medicine even faster.

Perhaps compared to those powerful Alchemists, he could not refine Bone Refining Secret Medicine or Tendon Refining Secret Medicine. But when it came to the fundamentals, those Alchemists were far inferior to him.

"The Medicine Refining Dao Fruit and Vajra Dao Fruit have both reached Level 4, while the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit has reached Level 3. Only the Forging Dao Fruit I obtained first is still at Level 2!"

He could improve the Forging Dao Fruit if he wanted to, but upgrading it now was not worthwhile. It could not help him improve his strength, so he would wait until later.

Over the following days, Li Changsheng continued his bitter cultivation, then bitter cultivation upon bitter cultivation. His goal was to raise his cultivation to the Dragon Skin Perfection Realm, after which he could attempt to break into the Bone Refining Realm.

In addition, he was also cultivating the Body Divine Ability, the Azure Dragon Armor Technique. But Body Divine Abilities were difficult to improve. Even with the support of the Level 3 Demon Slaying Dao Fruit, which made martial arts easier for him to cultivate, it was still very hard to bring the Azure Dragon Armor Technique to the Minor Accomplishment Realm.

He estimated that he would need at least several months of bitter cultivation to have any hope of raising the Azure Dragon Armor Technique to the Minor Accomplishment Realm. That would be far too much of a waste of time, and he naturally did not have so much time to spend cultivating the Azure Dragon Armor Technique.

If he raised the Demon Slaying Dao Fruit to Level 4, cultivating the Azure Dragon Armor Technique would become much easier.

Another month passed.

Every day, Li Changsheng consumed more than ten portions of flawless Tiger Demon Secret Medicine. The cost of a single month would have made many top powers ache with heartache, yet he finally succeeded in raising his cultivation to the Greater Accomplishment of Dragon Skin Realm.

Now, he was only one step away from the Dragon Skin Perfection Realm.
