Immeasurable Golden Body Art
Lu Feng continued reading, his gaze falling on the Demon Points needed for the upgrade.
The first level has 100,000 Demon Points.
This number was still within his tolerance level. Lu Feng scrolled down the list and saw the tenth floor.
"One billion!"
He stared at the number in silence for a full three breaths, then decisively closed the details page.
A billion Demon Points? No question about it.
Let's talk about it when he reaches the Yin Spirit Realm.
However, you can still practice on the first few floors.
"System, upgrade the Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash to the third level."
[Ding! Upgrading Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash to the third level requires 800,000 Demon Points. Confirm upgrade?]
"Confirm."
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely profound amount of cultivation experience surged into his mind.
Unlike the layered progression of the Nine Layered Wave Slashes and the unstoppable advance of the Tyrant Saber Slash, the momentum of the Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash is something completely different.
Overpower force with force!
No need for accumulation, no need for building up momentum; with a single strike, momentum and force unite as one, like a mountain collapsing.
Deep within his consciousness, a figure identical to him gripped a long sword, wielding it day after day.
There were no fancy tricks, just repeated practice and refinement.
[Ding! Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash (Third Level);]
Lu Feng slowly opened his eyes.
His right hand unconsciously clenched, and then he took out a long knife from his storage bag.
That was a third-tier longsword he had seized from the demonic monk of the Vajra Temple.
The moment he got his hands on it, his brow furrowed.
Too light!
The third-tier longsword felt light and weightless in his hands, lacking any substantiality.
After mastering the Nine Extremes Heaven-Breaking Slash, his physical strength seemed to have reached a new level, and the weapons he used to be able to use were suddenly no longer sufficient.
"Oh right. I haven't checked Zhao Long and the others' storage bags yet."
Lu Feng sheathed his knife and took out the storage bags of the others one by one, placing them in front of him.
First, open the four demonic monks' doors.
One each of a third-tier sword, saber, and staff; all of decent quality.
The pills were mainly for healing injuries, plus two bottles of Jin Recovery Pill.
Lu Feng carefully sorted and put away these items, and just as he was about to put down the last storage bag, his gaze suddenly paused.
At the bottom of the bag lay a jade slip, its surface engraved with densely packed small characters.
A moment later, he slowly put down the jade slip, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Immeasurable Golden Body Art!"
As the name suggests, it is a Buddhist body-refining exercise.
Lu Feng examined it carefully; it was a body-refining technique at the Hua Jin level.
Once cultivated to perfection, a pale golden light shield will rise around the body upon activation.
It is powerful enough to withstand Grandmaster's full-force attack.
Unlike the permanent tempering of the Hundred Beasts Body Tempering Art, the Immeasurable Golden Body Art is an active defensive measure, closer to the Buddhist practice of protecting the body with a golden body.
The monks of Vajra Temple don't use it themselves; instead, they practice those Half-Demon spells.
Without hesitation, Lu Feng read through the entire incantation of the technique. After confirming that the words "Immeasurable Golden Body Art" appeared on the system panel, he silently recited it in his mind.
"System, upgrade the Immeasurable Golden Body Art to its peak!"
[Ding! Upgrading the Immeasurable Golden Body Art to its maximum level requires 100,000 Demon Points. Confirm upgrade?]
"Confirm!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful surge of cultivation experience flowed into his body.
Within his sea of consciousness, a person who resembled Lu Feng cultivated the Immeasurable Golden Body Art day and night until he reached its perfect state.
[Immeasurable Golden Body Art (Completed);]
Lu Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling that his physical body had become much stronger.
Lu Feng activated his Nei Jin, and a layer of pale golden light indeed rose around his body.
The light was not dazzling, but extremely solid.
He raised his arms and gently touched them together, producing a clanging metallic sound.
"Good."
Lu Feng put away the cultivation technique with satisfaction.
Although the Hundred Beasts Body Tempering Art had already tempered his physical body to a considerable degree, having another active defensive method was never a bad thing.
With the combined use of these techniques, his current defense has completely surpassed the scope of the Hua Jin Realm.
Lu Feng continued searching.
Several tightly sealed jade bottles caught his attention.
Upon opening the first one, a pure, Yao Qi rushed out.
"Third-tier Dark Water Python essence blood."
Lu Feng's eyes lit up.
He opened all the remaining bottles.
"Third-tier Earth-Splitting Bear Essence Blood. Second-tier Azure Wind Wolf Essence Blood. Third-tier Black Iron Bear Essence Blood..."
The four demonic monks' storage bags contained dozens of portions of demonic beast blood essence alone.
Eighty-seven portions of Tier 2 blood and twenty-eight portions of Tier 3 blood, including eight types of Tier 3 demonic beast essence blood that Lu Feng had never collected before.
With the addition of what he already possessed, he now had thirty-two types of third-tier essence blood.
Aside from the essence and blood, the storage bag contained only some unimportant miscellaneous items.
One of them even had women's underwear in his storage bag.
Moreover, its color is pale yellow, indicating that this wicked monk is also unable to sever ties with worldly desires and can only use this method to satisfy his physiological needs.
Lu Feng pinched his nose and threw it back into the demon monk's storage bag. He could still feel that smell in the air, and he really couldn't stand it.
Lu Feng simply left the secret chamber and went to the minister's quarters, where he felt much more comfortable.
"This looting isn't all good! Zhao Long's storage bag absolutely can't have any more of this stuff, or he won't have anywhere to sleep tonight!"
After muttering to himself, Lu Feng opened Zhao Long's storage bag.
Zhao Long's storage bag was thicker than the four demonic monks' combined.
The first thing that catches the eye is a pair of fourth-tier finger gloves, made of some unknown dark metal, with tiny scales embedded in the knuckles, exactly the same as Zhao Hu's, but of a higher grade.
Lu Feng held it in his hand and weighed it in his hand. It was quite heavy, but unfortunately it was useless to him. This thing could only be exchanged for Origin Crystal.
In terms of elixirs, Zhao Long was quite wealthy.
A bottle of Grade 4 Origin Recovery Pill is a whole level higher than the Jin Recovery Pill Lu Feng used before; one pill can restore most of his Nei Jin.
Two Heavenly Yuan Pill!
The cultivation speed of the Heavenly Yuan Pill doubles within a month of consumption, and it is effective for those at the Grandmaster Realm and above.
There is also an Force Comprehension Pill.
After Lu Feng carefully identified each of these items, he turned his attention to the last few bottles of essence blood.
"Tier 4 Scarlet Flame Tiger Essence Blood. Tier 4 White-Foreheaded Tiger Essence Blood. Tier 4 Purple Lightning Tiger Essence Blood..."
Lu Feng looked at each bottle one by one, his expression becoming increasingly interesting.
Twenty-two portions of fourth-tier essence blood, six different types, all from tiger demons.
He suddenly recalled Zhao Long's appearance as a tiger-headed human when he Demon Transformation, and a guess came to his mind.
Could there be some connection between Demon Transformation and blood essence that he is unaware of?
Lu Feng put this conjecture aside for the time being.
Regardless of how Zhao Long became Half-Demon, all this essence blood now belongs to him.
He carefully collected all the essence blood, and finally pulled out a dark box from the bottom of the storage bag.
The box is small, but extremely heavy, several times heavier than a piece of gold of the same volume.
He opened it and found a fist-sized piece of black metal inside, with a rough surface and a dark luster.
Lu Feng examined it closely but couldn't identify what kind of material it was.
However, the fact that Zhao Long collected it so solemnly and separately indicates that its value is definitely not low.
What pleased Lu Feng the most was that Zhao Long still had more than a thousand Origin Crystal in his storage bag.
He counted them: twelve hundred.
This was probably the richest moment he had ever experienced since joining the Demon-Slaying Bureau.
