Water Element Body Minor Completion

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes. Could it be that the Mirror Person could not refine the Water Spirit Mother he had envisioned?

Come to think of it, the Water Spirit Mother was in his own hands and was currently being refined by him.

How could a consciousness-based Mirror Person refine a virtual object out of thin air?

With a turn of thought, Lin Heng tried having it circulate the Azure Emperor Spirit Devouring Art while he continued refining the Water Spirit Mother himself.

To his surprise, things truly unfolded exactly as he had expected.

The Mirror Person closed its eyes, and crystalline spiritual energy began to emerge around it.

At the same time, Lin Heng felt the three Spirit Wheels within him begin to spin faster, while the meridians throughout his body started converging toward new acupoints.

The faint tremors were enough to prove that the Azure Emperor Spirit Devouring Art was being put into operation.

Holy shit? It was really cultivating, independently opening the Fourth Spirit Wheel!

So this was how the Dream-Making Mirror was used? Combining illusion and reality could actually produce twice the cultivation effect.

What kind of concept was that?!

It meant that as long as he designated the cultivation content before the Dream-Making Mirror beforehand, the Mirror Person's cultivation results could be fed back into reality itself.

Time quietly passed, and four and a half days went by.

The Water Spirit Mother had been completely absorbed, and his body gradually began to change.

His skin became fairer, his muscles more even and well-proportioned. His entire body seemed to have shed its mortal shell and exchanged its bones.

He rose to his feet and stretched his limbs, producing a series of crackling sounds throughout his body.

Huff!

Water Element Body Minor Completion!

At the same time, his cultivation had directly reached the Qi Refining Fourth Layer in the process.

However, the Fourth Spirit Wheel had yet to be fully opened.

Lin Heng opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

The Dream-Making Realm's effects had surpassed all expectations. Even if he stopped cultivating now, the Mirror Person would still tirelessly open Spirit Wheels for him.

After the Water Element Body reached Minor Completion, his physical body's permeability increased, making the process of absorbing and refining spiritual energy crystals needed to open Spirit Wheels much easier.

The pores of his skin seemed to have been completely soaked in water, harmonizing with the spiritual energy in the air. Thus, he did not feel much intense pain throughout the whole process.

"Thank heavens! Refining the Water Spirit Mother first to cultivate the Water Element Body was truly a wise move. This way, I won't have to worry about the agonizing pain from opening Spirit Wheels."

Lin Heng was overjoyed. This was entirely an unexpected delight.

However, he soon calmed down from his excitement.

The Water Element Body was only at Minor Completion. He still had to pass through the Great Completion stage before ultimately reaching Grand Completion.

Minor Completion was merely the easiest step in a three-level leap. The Water Spirit Mother was something that could only be encountered by chance and never sought.

If he relied solely on the water element mixed within spiritual energy for cultivation, he might not even be able to cultivate the Water Element Body to Great Completion after another hundred years.

Then there were the four other branches—the Gold Element Body, Wood Element Body, Fire Element Body, and Earth Element Body. At once, he felt an endless broad road stretching before him.

"Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. The Dream-Making Mirror, the Five Elements Spirit Root, and Heaven-Defying Comprehension have already pushed my speed to the limit!"

"What I need next is resources—an incomparably massive amount of resources!"

If he wanted resources, the most important thing was Fortune.

As a villain, he did not believe his Fortune could surpass that of the original protagonist.

But that did not mean he had no way to plunder the original protagonist's Fortune.

As everyone knew, Ye Tian, the original protagonist, held a multiple-wives-bringing-fortune script. In other words, aside from leaning toward opportunities, part of his Fortune was spent on the female leads.

And now, not only had Lin Heng intercepted Jiang Caiyan and activated a hidden bond, he had also won over Senior Sister Yun Yao, who should have belonged to Ye Tian.

In less than a month, Ye Tian had lost two female leads. As one ebbed and the other flowed, Lin Heng refused to believe Ye Tian could maintain his Fortune forever.

"Phew, ah~" Lin Heng walked to the window and stretched lazily. Listening to the unending sounds from the street below, he muttered, "Today, I need to find a place to sell my things."

Five hundred li away from Swallow Cloud City, in Zigu.

Two figures streaked through the air at high speed before finally stopping before a cave.

Sun Hao was drenched in sweat and weak all over. He collapsed directly onto the ground.

Only after taking a huge breath did he ask, "Father! What was that woman's background? She was truly terrifying..."

Sun Daoya leaned against the stone wall, paying no attention to his long beard that carried an air of immortal grace. He took a pill directly from his storage ring and stuffed it into his mouth.

It took him quite some time to recover his color.

Just moments ago, they had encountered a woman dressed in red in Zigu, only to be directly beaten up by her.

She kept shouting the words "Wang Envoy," leaving them utterly bewildered.

"Who knows where that madwoman came from!" Sun Daoya cursed. "That woman is stronger than I am. If she had intended to take our lives, then father and son would have been buried here today!"

The Red-Robed Woman they spoke of was Yun Yao.

"But... Father, we've already searched Zigu for three days. Could that thief have already left Zigu?"

"We're nearly at the edge of Zigu now. Another three hundred li southwest lies Swallow Cloud City."

Sun Daoya thought briefly, then said, "Fine. We'll go straight to Swallow Cloud City. That boy's aura has been concealed, and the tracking method can no longer pinpoint his trail. But I reckon that thief was also headed for Swallow Cloud City."

"The Justice Bureau's Bureau Chief once said that a Dynasty Special Envoy would be heading to Swallow Cloud City to attend an Auction Feast. Let's go try our luck as well."

"Alright!"

After resting briefly, the two could only change their plans and head for Swallow Cloud City.

Yun Yao on the other side did the same.

She had entered Zigu before Old Man of Black Mountain and discovered several people killed by Lin Heng.

From the badges on their chests, she could obtain only one piece of information: "Wang Envoy."

A little blood had accidentally gotten onto Lin Heng's body, directly causing his already faint aura to dissipate. Her tracking technique consequently failed as well.

She had thought Lin Heng had run into trouble, so she searched through Zigu's seven-hundred-li depths.

By chance, she encountered Sun Daoya and his son. She had originally intended to approach them and ask politely, but the two ran off as though they had guilty consciences.

Left with no alternative, she pursued them and questioned them carefully.

Only after learning that they knew absolutely nothing about "Wang Envoy" did she let them go.

"As long as you're alive... Junior Brother, you really know how to cause trouble!"

"Gone to Swallow Cloud City? I remember Second Senior Sister's family is there..."

Yun Yao murmured softly, then hurried toward Swallow Cloud City.

Time drifted by, and night quietly descended.

After wandering around for half a day, Lin Heng finally found a treasure pavilion of moderate size.

It was called Moonview Tower.

It had three floors, a circular structure, and covered a vast area. At the moment, it was brilliantly lit.

Figures crowded the building, and noisy clamor filled his ears.

"This place isn't bad."

Lin Heng nodded slightly and headed straight for the third floor, only to be stopped on the spot by an attendant.

"Sir, the third floor isn't for treasure hunting. If you're looking for treasures, you may browse the first and second floors."

"No. I'm not here to buy things. I'm here to sell something."

"Sell something? If you wish to sell something, you can simply find one of the vendors."

Lin Heng shook his head slightly. "No, they can't swallow what I have. Only your establishment has the courage to take what I'm selling. Take me to see your shopkeeper."

As soon as he said this, the attendant immediately grew curious and asked solemnly, "You're not simply boasting, are you?"

"I have no leisure to play games with you. If you can do business, lead the way. If not, I'll go next door. Don't regret it later."

"Alright... Please follow me. Once we reach the third floor, you'll have to wait while I inform the shopkeeper."

The third floor stored many valuable items in Moonview Tower, so sellers were not easily permitted inside.

Moonview Tower specialized in buying back and selling treasures. Apart from the establishment's own stalls and counters, most of the first and second floors were spaces rented out to independent merchants.

Anyone who sold something through Moonview Tower had to pay one-tenth of the transaction price as an intermediary fee.

This one-tenth intermediary fee could be understood as a guarantee fee, preventing either party from regretting the transaction afterward.

There were profits and losses in treasure hunting and selling goods. Without rules standing firm, chaos would inevitably arise.

Not long afterward, the attendant emerged from a room and gestured invitingly. "Sir, please come in. The shopkeeper has agreed to see you!"
