Humanity's Overview Technique (Technique, Foundation Establishment)

5. Hundred Physical Transformations: Change body shape from within the flesh, bones, and internal organs.

Looking at this new round of changes, a hint of joy appeared in Li Qing's eyes.

As expected, my hypothesis was correct.

I am currently collecting cultivation essence techniques for various different organs.

Every time I integrate a new technique, the overall technique undergoes a subtle change.

When this technique can no longer be changed, that will be the time for me to cultivate it.

However, it seems I need to collect even more items.

Li Qing's face grew slightly solemn; this time, the auxiliary cultivation items required had increased to nine types of spirit herbs and nine types of spirit jade.

Perhaps only here at the Demon Extermination Hall can I exchange for enough techniques.

Thinking of this, he could not help but recall the directory in the comprehensive records.

Last night, he had gone back and studied it thoroughly; there were over twenty different types of spirit jade.

Basically, one merit point could be exchanged for one piece, which was not particularly expensive.

But century-old spirit herbs were different; a single stalk required at least 10 merit points.

That meant only a Grade A mission would qualify one for a single exchange.

Adding it all up, I need at least 100 merit points.

I will still have to find a way to get the spirit herbs from the outside.

Wang Kuohai has been leaving early and returning late these past few days; he is clearly searching for spirit herbs.

Regarding supplies, perhaps I can approach these wealthy individuals and exchange techniques with them.

They should be very interested in stepping onto the path of immortality.

"Tsk, Little Brother Qin, this bottle of Pear Blossom Brew is truly delicious."

"Hahaha, as long as Elder Fang enjoys it, I will bring you another bottle next time I pass by."

A smile appeared on Elder Fang's face. "Then I shall trouble you."

(The bookshelf grouping function has been added; you can now add multiple books into groups (categories). If you have any suggestions after using it, please feel free to propose them, and we will make further modifications.)

In the afternoon, Li Qing strolled around leisurely.

Every afternoon, he enjoyed taking a walk around Jade City, listening to music, watching storytelling, and drinking tea.

At the same time, he would investigate certain areas, all based on the dossier information he had obtained in advance from Elder Huang.

He was searching for safe Anomalies—Anomalies that could be killed quickly.

He had a clear plan for his own cultivation.

"The accumulation of essence is not a problem for me; with two more Essence Stones, I can reach the perfection of Essence Refining directly."

"What is most important to me now is the cultivation technique—to thoroughly perfect Humanity's Overview Technique and condense the essence of ten thousand methods."

"Only then will it be the most appropriate time to break through to Body Strengthening."

Suddenly, a large number of soldiers appeared on the main street.

The soldiers rushed toward the northern part of Jade City.

Leading them was a general clad in armor, with someone behind him carrying a banner.

Li Qing took a slight glance and already knew who it was.

Wang Jie, the Commander-in-Chief of the Jade City Garrison.

He had been in Jade City for quite some time now, and through Elder Huang, he was no longer a stranger to the place.

The largest factions in Jade City were led by the Prefect, Fang Qingyu.

Although he was a member of the Jade City Fang Clan—a minor Dao Lineage of a noble family—he belonged to the Dao Lineage of the Confucian Sect.

Under his command was a head constable named Fei Yangming, a man who hailed from the Six Gates and belonged to the Military Official Path.

These two represented the primary power in the official sphere.

The second was the Garrison Commander-in-Chief, Wang Jie. This man belonged to the Military Soldier Path, skilled in training military formations. By borrowing the essence of these formations, he could unleash magical means far exceeding his own cultivation realm, making him exceptionally formidable.

The third was the Demon Extermination Hall. Backed by the Hundred Schools of Thought, its background was quite complex. Its core seemed to consist of only a dozen or so people, with many others being hired Demon Extermination Captains.

The fourth were the various shops in Hundred Gates Alley belonging to different Dao Lineages, all backed by major powers.

The fifth, and weakest, were the Rogue Cultivators.

Beyond these major factions, there might be some hidden cultivators of demonic paths, most of whom were at odds with the orthodox forces.

Li Qing frowned slightly. "Commander-in-Chief Wang Jie, why is he heading north?"

"That is the Pujiang Port, the area under the jurisdiction of the Water Transport Counselor."

"It was originally managed by the Water Transport Counselor, but ever since the previous counselor's family was wiped out over a month ago, the Government Office has been managing it temporarily."

"Why has this man suddenly mobilized?"

Watching the garrison soldiers, he felt a sudden sense of contemplation.

"Could it be because of that case? Is there some hidden problem at the port?"

Even if one has never eaten pork, one has seen a pig run.

As a soul from the modern world, Li Qing never believed in coincidences.

Everything was inevitable; it was just that the things hidden within were unknown to others.

Thinking of this, he did not linger, but turned and left.

He had no desire to be dragged into such an affair, especially since there seemed to be members of the Blood Demon Sect operating in the shadows.

"I must be careful from now on. This Jade City does not seem as peaceful as I imagined."

Just then, a commotion erupted at the main southern gate.

Li Qing frowned, and then he witnessed a shocking scene.

Countless surges of blood essence rose from the direction of the south gate, looking as if rivers of blood were flowing out, causing the essence to dissipate into the air.

"What is happening?"

Li Qing's expression shifted uncertainly, and he turned directly toward the Demon Extermination Hall.

When in doubt, return to the Demon Extermination Hall first.

The world was too dangerous, and he did not want to rashly stumble into trouble.

Barely a quarter of an hour after returning to the Demon Extermination Hall, the news had already filtered back.

In the Mission Hall, many people were gathered in small groups, discussing the events.

Wen Taiquan had also arrived, his expression grave.

"Brother Wen, what has happened? Why have so many people gathered here?"
