The so-called Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body, once cultivated to perfection, would grant one the Supreme Dharma Body of the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body.
It could be said that this was an exceptionally formidable body-tempering cultivation art.
It possessed both body-tempering abilities and the effects of a cultivation art.
What made Zhao Chen sigh was that this body-tempering cultivation art could not be used within the Spiritual Road.
At most, it would make his Physical Quality stronger than that of Spirit Bodies at the same level.
"Look further ahead. Once we leave the Spiritual Road, you can cultivate it."
Within the Spiritual Road, there was a measure of relative fairness.
Expecting true fairness was simply impossible.
Everyone began from the same starting line.
They had to raise their Spirit Bodies step by step.
However, things like the weapons they used, which were spirit artifacts, as well as the Five Great Academies' preselected slots, spirit beasts, spirit medicines, and so on, were all things that geniuses from major clans had known about long ago.
So, it could only be called relatively fair.
Once they left the Spiritual Road, that would be another matter.
"Still, I can first temper my physique for the Sensing Realm until it reaches the state most suitable for the Nirvana Golden Body."
Zhao Chen muttered to himself, then examined Fang Zhong's Crimson Token.
He was quite curious. Fang Zhong had monopolized the Mission Hall's many missions for a full half month and completed them punctually every day. How many points had he accumulated?
And how many spirit beast essences did he have among them?
Surely he could not have had time to absorb every spirit beast essence he obtained.
If he really had absorbed them, how could he have only barely reached a Third-Level Spirit Body?
Next, Zhao Chen still needed to collect powerful spirit beast blood.
Spirit beast blood was of great help in body tempering.
"Three thousand points?"
Zhao Chen frowned. He truly had not expected Fang Zhong to have so few points.
By his estimate, it should have been around five thousand.
It seemed Fang Zhong had spent some points.
The greatest expense would have been staying in the Guardian Land for extended periods.
"Twenty Level 2 Spirit Beast essences and two Level 3 spirit essences."
Zhao Chen transferred all of Fang Zhong's spirit beast essences into his own Crimson Token, along with the points.
These points would be extremely useful later.
They were tied to who could stand out in this Guardian Land.
"There are some good things in the Storage Bag."
Zhao Chen found a large amount of Level 2 and Level 3 spirit beast materials inside, as well as quite a few spirit medicines.
He gave the spirit medicines directly to Wu Yingying.
Although there were plenty of spirit medicines, their quality was not particularly high.
Zhao Chen estimated that it would already be quite good if they could raise Wu Yingying to a Third-Level Spirit Body.
"Thanks, Big Brother! You're so generous, Big Brother!"
Wu Yingying was overjoyed. Killing and looting really was much faster than searching for spirit medicines herself.
If she had searched for these spirit medicines on her own, she would have wasted quite a bit of time.
Yet all she needed to do was help Zhao Chen out and handle some dirty work, and she could obtain so many spirit medicines. Nice!
Wu Yingying happily continued refining and consuming spirit medicines. On the way to Dark Green Marsh, she successfully unlocked a Third-Level Spirit Body.
"Oh, right. Your Crimson Token..."
Zhao Chen thought for a moment, feeling tempted to shift the blame onto the already dead Fang Zhong.
All he had to do now was take Wu Yingying's Crimson Token out of Fang Zhong's Storage Bag, and he could extricate himself perfectly.
"Huh?"
Wu Yingying froze for a moment before asking:
"Big Brother, do you mean Fang Zhong's Crimson Token, or..."
It could not possibly be hers, could it?
"Sense it yourself. I don't know either."
Zhao Chen reached into Fang Zhong's Storage Bag. In truth, he took the Crimson Token out from his Mustard Seed Bracelet, mixed it in with the many Crimson Tokens already in the Storage Bag, and handed them to Wu Yingying.
"Fang Zhong was the only Third-Level Spirit Body in this Guardian Land. It's hard to say whether the people he killed included that Little Thief."
A huge pile of Crimson Tokens represented how many participants in the Spiritual Road Trial had died.
Given Fang Zhong's character, it was impossible to expect him to show mercy.
This could be said to be Zhao Chen's best opportunity to return the Crimson Token to Wu Yingying.
In any case, he did not care about the points her Crimson Token brought him.
He might as well let Wu Yingying have it.
Of course, the most important reason was that Zhao Chen knew very well that the true trial of this Guardian Land was about to begin.
As a teammate he could more or less trust, she could not be too weak and affect the outcome of the trial.
"So many Crimson Tokens... Fang Zhong is dead meat!"
Wu Yingying had not held out much hope, but the sight of so many Crimson Tokens left her dumbfounded.
Every Crimson Token represented a participant in the Spiritual Road Trial.
"Oh, no, Fang Zhong is already dead as a doornail."
Wu Yingying swallowed, suddenly feeling that Zhao Chen was absolutely right.
If Fang Zhong did not have her Crimson Token, it was hard to say whether it would be anywhere else.
At this moment, she became excited as well.
"It has to be here. It must be!"
Wu Yingying searched through them, sensed her own Crimson Token, and immediately cried out in excitement:
"Oh my god, I really found it! My Crimson Token!"
Every Crimson Token represented a participant in the Spiritual Road Trial, allowing Wu Yingying to sense her own Crimson Token. The information it relayed made her even more certain.
Although there was nothing inside it, completely empty.
As long as she had recovered her Crimson Token, that was enough!
"This is wonderful! I finally don't have to worry anymore. I can enter the Guardian Land!"
Wu Yingying jumped up and down excitedly, her pretty face covered in smiles.
The heart she had kept clenched all this time could finally relax.
"Calm down, calm down."
Seeing her like this, Zhao Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It had to be said that at first, he had not felt much psychological burden.
But considering that her nose was exceptionally keen, making it convenient for her to find spirit beasts and spirit medicines, and that she could also deal with spirit beast corpses and the like, he felt she was still useful.
So, he might as well return it to her now.
"Fang Zhong's Storage Bag and Crimson Token contain part of the materials needed for the missions I accepted this time, which saves me quite a bit of effort."
Zhao Chen was quite satisfied with this.
For instance, he would barely need to lift a finger for Level 2 Spirit Beasts.
Searching for those Level 2 Spirit Beasts would have wasted quite a bit of time.
Next, all he needed to do was make a trip to Dark Green Marsh, complete that Fourth-Level Mission, and finish the remaining missions along the way.
"Once the missions are complete, you can absorb these Level 2 Spirit Beast essences."
After making those simple arrangements, he felt completely at ease.
Zhao Chen had now reached a Fifth-Level Spirit Body. He needed to kill multiple Level 5 Spirit Beasts, or even Sixth-Level Spirit Beasts, before absorbing their essences would improve him further.
To clear the entire Spiritual Road Trial, the earlier he reached a Ninth-Grade Spirit Body, the more confident he would be!
And cultivating the Nirvana Golden Body would become the key to his domination of the entire Spiritual Road.
Next, he had to gather enough powerful spirit beast blood to cultivate the Nirvana Golden Body.
"Ding! A new sign-in mission has been triggered: Kill three Level 4 Spirit Beasts and one Level 5 Spirit Beast to receive one sign-in opportunity!"
