Optimize body techniques! Eight-Nine Arcane Art?!

Night falls.

Lin Fan's room.

"System, check the Merit Points required to optimize the Body Refining Technique."

The young man sat cross-legged, a thought flashing through his mind.

[System Notification: 100 Merit Points are required to optimize the Body Refining Technique.]

A voice echoed in his mind.

What a coincidence!

The 100 Merit Points given by the Fox Spirit were a great help.

"System, optimize the Body Refining Technique."

Lin Fan thought, shouting inwardly.

[System Notification: Deducting 100 Merit Points, the Body Refining Technique has been optimized. Congratulations to the host for learning the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.]

The voice in his mind faded.

He saw a divine general, draped in a red cloak and clad in silver-white armor.

Holding a High Grade halberd, he stood tall with an imposing aura.

It was as if he possessed the might of mountains and rivers.

A third eye, capable of dispelling evil, grew on his forehead.

Lin Fan was startled.

Isn't that Erlang Shen?

Suddenly, thunder rumbled in his sea of consciousness.

All creatures of heaven and earth emerged.

The Three-Eyed Divine General sometimes transformed into a leopard, Standing at the edge of a mountain peak, roaring freely.

Sometimes he transformed into vegetation, merging with the forest, Making him difficult for the naked eye to distinguish.

Natural phenomena, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Wherever the Three-Eyed Divine General went, Everything was destroyed by the rampant lightning.

Closely following.

Countless afterimages swept through Lin Fan's mind.

In an instant, he saw the Three-Eyed Divine General standing at the edge of a volcano.

He leaped down, accompanied by converging heavenly thunder, Striking straight down.

The shocking scene was unbearable to watch.

The Three-Eyed Divine General seemed to be bathing, Enduring thousands of degrees of scorching lava, Spreading his arms to face the divine lightning head-on.

As if receiving a baptism, effortlessly and freely.

Heaven seemed to be angered by the Three-Eyed Divine General.

Seeing that he was impervious to thunder and that the lava could not burn him, It then unleashed a rain of blades.

Cold light slashed across the sky.

Tens of thousands of sharp blades and giant axes descended from the heavens, Attacking the Three-Eyed Divine General.

Clang!

As his physical body came into contact with the swords and axes, Countless collision sounds rang out.

The falling swords and axes clashed wildly against his skin, Generating countless sparks.

The Three-Eyed Divine General withstood them all, his flesh and skin showing no damage.

Lin Fan dared not be negligent, fearing he would miss any detail.

Concentrating, he gazed forward.

Suddenly, streams of energy, several times purer than before, swept towards him.

Compared to the surging energy from previous breakthroughs, the energy before him was like a gentle river.

It was so tranquil and pleasant.

It even made Lin Fan feel a trace of warmth.

The pure energy streams converged towards his dantian.

Lin Fan raised his sword finger.

His seated body suddenly straightened up.

Streams of energy flowed through his meridians, Warming every corner of his body.

[System Notification: Congratulations Host on breaking through to Xiantian Realm fifth level.]

A voice in his mind broke Lin Fan's immersion.

Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes.

Energy flowed through him as he felt the joy of breakthrough.

The originally surging and domineering energy.

Had become much more refined.

If the previous energy was like a large water barrel, The current energy was like a clear, shallow stream.

He raised his hand and looked.

The training marks left earlier had already faded.

His skin and flesh felt as if reborn, becoming tender and smooth.

His muscles, while contracted and firm, displayed extraordinary toughness.

Feeling the changes around him, his heart leaped with joy.

Suddenly, Lin Fan recalled the state of the Three-Eyed God General.

He couldn't help but pick up his sword and slash at his arm.

Where the blade cut, only a faint white mark appeared.

His skin and flesh did not break, nor did blood flow out.

He raised his hand and wiped it, and the white mark vanished.

Truly impervious to blades and spears.

This was indeed the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

It was too terrifying.

Even the first stage had such effects.

If he continued to improve, what would happen?

After all, in the Investiture of the Gods, Erlang Shen's Eight-Nine Arcane Arts...

As long as the primordial spirit was intact, the physical body would not die.

Even if the physical body was destroyed, he could revive by circulating the divine art.

And he could revive infinitely.

As for whether this effect existed in the Daoist Magic world, he didn't know.

Even if not, at least he could forge an indestructible golden body.

The Maoshan lineage primarily focused on Daoist Magic.

Those who focused on body cultivation were likely few and far between.

Perhaps this path.

Only someone with a monstrous system like him could walk it.

Lin Fan's heart trembled, unable to stop shaking.

Excitement surged through him.

Recalling the residual images he had just observed.

The first three stages of the [Eight-Nine Arcane Arts] were:

[Skin Refining Realm, Muscle Refining Realm, Tendon Refining Realm]

Each realm is further divided into [Minor Accomplishment, Major Accomplishment, Grand Perfection], skipping the Beginner realm of ordinary Daoist magic.

The so-called Skin Refining Realm is when the body's exterior is strong, and its defense is improved.

Fighting with zombies will not cause external injuries.

But the body will tremble and feel pain.

The Muscle Refining Realm is an improvement in physical fitness.

An increase in strength and speed.

Finally, the Tendon Refining Realm is when the skin, flesh, tendons, and bones of the entire body are completely connected.

A qualitative change makes the physical body invincible.

It is the nascent Vajra Indestructible Body.

Currently, I should be at the Beginner level of the Skin Refining Realm.

The exterior of my body has clearly become stronger.

My defense has certainly improved a lot.

I should now have the capital to physically contend with Purple Zombies and Green Zombies.

"System, open the Attribute Panel."

Lin Fan thought and willed it.

[System Notification: Congratulations to the host for breaking through to]

Name: Lin Fan Realm: Xiantian Realm Fifth Level Magic Tool: Peachwood Sword (Daoist Magic Amplification 100%) Daoist Scripture: Seven Kills of Gods and Ghosts (Tier 1), Eight-Nine Arcane Arts (Tier 1) Physique: Skin Refining Realm (Minor Accomplishment) Daoist Magic: Purple Heaven Divine Thunder (Grand Perfection), Soul Locking Evil Dispelling Talisman (Grand Perfection), Heaven-Piercing Eyes (Beginner), Shattering Order (Beginner) Merit Points: 0 ...

"It's getting more and more substantial!"

Looking at the dazzling panel, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh.

I still need to save up more Skill Points!

Shattering Order, Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, Heaven-Piercing Eyes are at the Beginner level.

The optimized cultivation techniques require Skill Points.

They are all like a lion opening its mouth.

Heaven-Piercing Eyes are sufficient for now.

Shattering Order is also immensely powerful.

It's rare to have a Daoist Scripture that enhances the physical body.

Only by living can one deal damage!

Now that I have Purple Heaven Divine Thunder and Shattering Order.

I don't lack offensive Daoist magic.

Going forward, I should save more Skill Points.

My priority will be to upgrade the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

I need to reach at least the Skin Refining Realm.

Improving speed and strength is of utmost importance.

Moreover, strengthening the body.

Will be greatly beneficial for learning my Fourth Uncle's Spirit Invocation Technique later.

Daoist Priest Qian He is coming tomorrow.

Perhaps he can even get me some Merit Points.

"No more thinking, no more thinking. Sleep, sleep!"

Lin Fan cast aside all thoughts and tiredly called out.

He then fell asleep.

The next day at noon.

Master Yixiu and Qingqing were sweeping the corridor.

A series of hurried sounds echoed from outside the door.

"Be careful now."

A sharp voice, neither male nor female, rang out.

Seated in the palanquin was a small boy who looked like a high official or noble.

An effeminate attendant followed alongside, urging on the palanquin bearers.

The group was carrying a coffin bound with thick hemp ropes.

Leading them was a Daoist priest with four disciples.

They were walking towards Daoist Priest Four-Eyes' residence.

The leader was none other than Daoist Priest Qian He!
