Long-Life Inner Elixir, Blood Spirit Ginseng

"Then we shall wait and see. Don't disappoint me," Shen Ye said with a smile.

"I certainly won't disappoint you, sir." Fang Xing raised his cup with a smile, then drained the wine in one gulp.

"Confidence is a good thing. Though your innate bones are somewhat lacking, it isn't impossible for you to achieve something. One of the Commanders of the Heavenly Supervision Bureau once had inferior innate bones as well, yet now he has stepped into a realm where martial arts reach the heavens."

Baili Yanran spoke from the side.

Fang Xing's pupils contracted at those words.

Inferior innate bones, yet martial arts reaching the heavens?!

Though he did not know what realm Baili Yanran meant by martial arts reaching the heavens, if even Transformation Force martial artists called it heaven-reaching, then that person's strength had likely transcended the mortal and entered the saintly.

Could he have had a cheat too?

With inferior innate bones, even breaking through to Bright Force was difficult, much less reaching the heavens through martial arts.

"Lady Baili, what martial arts realm has this senior Commander reached?" Fang Xing asked curiously.

Baili Yanran wiped her red lips and glanced at him. "This senior is a legend of our Heavenly Supervision Bureau. His martial arts realm is not something you can come into contact with. Let me put it this way: even if you surpass Transformation Force, use the false to cultivate the true, refine qi into astral force, before this senior, you would still be nothing more than a blade of grass."

Even borrowing the false to cultivate the true and refining qi into astral force were merely blades of grass. What kind of realm did that require?!

For someone with inferior innate bones to reach such a level, this senior truly deserved to be called a legend.

"Innate bones are not absolute. For that senior to reach a heaven-reaching realm, his comprehension must be beyond imagination."

Comprehension... compared to my heaven-blessed comprehension, he probably isn't much better, right?

As Fang Xing listened to Baili Yanran, the thought flashed through his mind.

"If you possess even one percent of that senior's strength in the future, you will have a place in the entire Great Jing Dynasty." Baili Yanran looked at him with a smile.

Fang Xing smiled faintly. "Such legends are rare in this world. To reach that level is probably as difficult as climbing to heaven."

"It truly is climbing to heaven. But perhaps a miracle will descend upon you," Baili Yanran teased.

Fang Xing smiled and took a sip of wine.

A miracle descending...

He had not come this far by relying on miracles.

Night had fallen.

After the meal ended, Fang Xing paid the bill, and the three left the Drunken Immortal Tower.

After seeing the two of them to the official station, Fang Xing and Shen Ye entered the room.

Shen Ye looked Fang Xing over.

Under Shen Ye's stare, Fang Xing felt uncomfortable all over. He cupped his hands in salute. "Sir, it is getting late. This subordinate shall take his leave first."

Shen Ye sat down in a chair and looked at him. "What's the hurry? There is something I need to tell you."

Fang Xing paused, then bowed slightly. "If you require anything, sir, please give the order. This subordinate will see it done."

As though he had caught the meaning behind his words, Shen Ye laughed and scolded, "You brat, what kind of person do you take me for?"

Fang Xing lowered his head and remained silent.

Shen Ye looked at him and took out a sheepskin scroll from his robes.

"Inside is a superior martial art. You may use it to cultivate. Perhaps it will increase your chances of breaking through to Transformation Force."

??

Fang Xing froze as he looked at the sheepskin scroll Shen Ye had produced.

A superior martial art!

He was simply giving it to him?!

Seeing Fang Xing standing there in a daze, Shen Ye smiled. "What, you don't want it?"

Fang Xing immediately came back to himself. "Sir, this superior martial art is exceedingly valuable. This subordinate..."

"A superior martial art is nothing much. Consider it an investment from me. If you can enter Transformation Force, it will not be a loss."

Shen Ye spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Fang Xing said no more and accepted the sheepskin scroll.

A superior martial art was quite good for him as well.

Though he had already cultivated two superior martial arts, learning another would not be a bad thing. It could strengthen him.

With heaven-blessed comprehension, even cultivating several martial arts at once would have no effect on him.

"Thank you, sir. This subordinate will certainly work hard and not fail your high expectations." Fang Xing cupped his hands in salute.

Since he had accepted the olive branch, he naturally would not mind taking another step forward.

Shen Ye nodded slightly. "When I return next time, I hope to see you advance another step."

Fang Xing nodded.

Shen Ye then waved his hand, and Fang Xing left the room.

No sooner had Fang Xing left than Shen Ye's door opened, and Baili Yanran walked in.

"You gave it to him?" Baili Yanran looked at him.

Shen Ye nodded. "Mm, I gave it to him. It is only a martial art."

Baili Yanran smiled. "Then it seems you think quite highly of him."

"I investigated him. In less than half a year, he was able to break through to the peak of Dark Force. His chances are quite high."

"He reached the peak of Dark Force in only half a year?" A trace of surprise flashed through Baili Yanran's eyes.

Shen Ye nodded.

"Mm, it is true."

Baili Yanran blinked. "Then it seems his comprehension is not bad either. Perhaps there is hope of forging another legend."

"We shall wait and see."

Shen Ye smiled faintly, then looked at Baili Yanran. "Tomorrow, you and I should go take a look at Cang Prefecture. There has been quite a disturbance over there. The Commander-in-Chief has told us to keep an eye on it."

"Mm, no problem." Baili Yanran nodded.

North City, Tong District. After returning to the courtyard, Fang Xing washed up simply and entered his room.

Sitting on the bed, he opened the sheepskin scroll. Images of cultivation and lines of text appeared upon it.

Long-Life Inner Elixir Art!

Fang Xing studied it carefully, and soon a scarlet prompt appeared before his eyes.

[A superior inner elixir martial art. It has exceeded the current enhancement level and cannot be enhanced for now.]

"Hmm?"

Fang Xing froze as he looked at the scarlet prompt before him.

It had exceeded the enhancement level...

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

A superior martial art could not be enhanced for the time being.

"It seems I will have to raise the enhancement level first."

Fang Xing looked at the sheepskin scroll in his hands and sighed.

Since it had exceeded the range of his enhancement level, there was nothing he could do.

"I'm already at seventy percent... another thirty percent, and I can raise the enhancement level."

Fang Xing checked the panel.

Three hundred and eight Enhancement Points.

Just enough to break through to the next level!

After pondering for a moment, Fang Xing rose to his feet.

He had long prepared the items for enhancement.

Dragonblood Ginseng, wild mountain ginseng, and the like.

Among the things the various major forces had sent over were quite a few good items.

He had kept them all this time, merely lacking Enhancement Points.

With today's haul, he could finally enhance them.

"Dragonblood Ginseng... a hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng."

"Enhancing these two will take exactly three hundred points."

Looking at the items before him, Fang Xing immediately began enhancing the Dragonblood Ginseng.

Scarlet light spread out, and soon, a hundred-and-fifty-year-old Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng was successfully enhanced.

After putting it away for the moment, Fang Xing's gaze fell upon the hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng.

This wild mountain ginseng had not been purchased by him. It had been a gift from the Lin Family, one of the three great families.

"Two hundred points... I wonder how many years of Spirit Ginseng Treasure Medicine I'll obtain after this enhancement."

Drawing a deep breath, Fang Xing willed it and began the enhancement.

Scarlet light flooded the hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng.

Under his watchful gaze, the hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng began to transform.

Strands of spiritual radiance spilled forth.

The hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng gradually took on a human shape.

After nearly ten breaths, the scarlet light finally dissipated completely.

A brand-new humanoid Spirit Ginseng Treasure Medicine appeared before his eyes.

Even its color had changed.

It somewhat resembled Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng, gleaming with a blood-red luster.

[A hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng has been successfully enhanced. Obtained a two-hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Ginseng.]

...?

A two-hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Ginseng.

Fang Xing stared at the Blood Spirit Ginseng before him, his face full of astonishment.

This enhancement had only added a hundred years.

But Blood Spirit Ginseng was the finest among ginseng!

Its effects were even stronger than Dragonblood Treasure Ginseng!

It could exchange blood and cleanse the marrow.

Priceless, even for a thousand gold!
