In the room, three items Chu Mo brought back from the Jade Pavilion were placed in front of him.
A book, a long saber, and a manual.
The book was the ‘Illustrated Encyclopedia of Common Ferocious Beasts and Plants’, recording information about the most common Ferocious Beasts in the world, inclusive of illustrations as well.
Although it was taught in Martial Arts Academies, that was just a censored version and was incomplete.
In this book, not only were the most complete records of common Ferocious Beasts, even common Spirit Plants were recorded.
It held great significance for Martial Artists adventuring and training in the wilderness.
Almost every Martial Artist, as long as they weren’t short on money, would buy a copy and carefully study it. After all, the knowledge recorded in this book might save their life at a critical moment.
Even if one encounters a Spirit Herb or rare treasures in the wilderness, they won’t miss them due to not recognizing them.
Next was the long saber, a Level 3 Alloy Saber. This type of battle saber used a special compressed alloy, weighing hundreds or thousands of kilograms.
The higher the grade, the better the quality. Generally, Level 3 sabers were only used by Martial Masters but Chu Mo now possessed a High-Grade Saber Talent. He was proficient in saber Martial Skills, so he still chose a Level 3 Alloy Saber of better quality.
Lastly, it was the Martial Artist Spiritual Energy Body Tempering Technique recorded in a manual!
Body Tempering Techniques could be cultivated starting from when one was a Martial Apprentice. However, the Twenty-One Forms Body Tempering Technique cultivated in the Martial Apprentice Realm could only be called a basic Body Tempering Technique. Its purpose was to tap into the human body’s potential and temper the body to enhance strength. It might be the best for the Martial Apprentice Realm, but not so for Martial Artists.
After a Martial Apprentice broke through their human limit and achieved ten thousand kilograms of strength, becoming a true Martial Artist, the increase brought by this basic Body Tempering Technique would be minute.
At this time, a Spiritual Energy Body Tempering Technique was needed!
The so-called Spiritual Energy Body Tempering Technique was actually to help Martial Artists absorb spiritual energy between heaven and earth, continuously compress it within ones body, thereby achieving the effect of tempering the body.
Actually, when Chu Mo was stuck at his bottleneck, he had also compressed spiritual energy like this. However, the effectiveness brought by the basic Body Tempering Technique was still too small and its effect was negligible.
However, the Spiritual Energy Body Tempering Technique was different.
Absorb => compress => store => temper.
Under this process, it allowed Martial Artists to complete the transformation and sublimation of bone tempering, blood refining, and Qi Condensation.
Early-Stage Martial Artists tempered the bones, Mid-Stage refined their blood, Late-Stage practiced Qi Condensation.
[If I can completely temper my bones, I should be able to reach the monstrous strength of fifty thousand kilograms without my Lightning Talent. That would mark becoming a Mid-Stage Martial Artist. At that time, I would be able to hear the simultaneous ringing of muscles and bones. My bones and muscles would resonate.]
[After refining my blood, I would possess the strength of a hundred thousand kilograms. My blood would flow much faster and be more condensed at that point.]
[If one could condense their Qi, it can multiply the Martial Artist’s strength, enabling them to exert the monstrous force of several hundred thousand kilograms with one punch. They would be comparable to a Dragon or an Elephant!]
Holding such thoughts, Chu Mo was a bit impatient to experience the wonders of the Spiritual Energy Body Tempering Technique!
[Let’s start cultivating!] Without much hesitation, Chu Mo directly began cultivating according to the manual.
As soon as he took the stance, he felt the surrounding spiritual energy surging into his body through his pores and then circulating into his bones.
Instantly, he felt all the bones in his body itch, accompanied by a warm sensation.
He knew spiritual energy was tempering his bones!
As his bones were nourished by spiritual energy, he could feel his strength increasing bit by bit.
Half an hour passed.
When Chu Mo completed the last move, he felt a ‘kacha’ sound ringing out from his entire body. It felt as if it was an auditory hallucination, yet it was too real.
This sound would play out in succession, and each time it rang out, wisps of hot air would emanate from the surface of his body. Along with the expulsion of the hot air, a large amount of gray-black impurities were also expelled.
Gradually, specks of dirt also began to seep out from the surface of his skin, emitting an unpleasant pungent odor.
As time passed, who knows how long it took, the sound finally disappeared.
Chu Mo clenched his fists, feeling that his strength had clearly increased by a level.
“After cultivating the Spiritual Energy Body Tempering Technique, the cultivation speed increased more than fivefold compared to the basic Body Tempering Technique. At this pace, with my current Cultivation Talent and Physique, I should be able to become a Martial Master within three years! But… that’s too slow!”
This speed, to others, would definitely be astounding. However, to Chu Mo, it was still far too slow!
“If I could have the assistance of Ferocious Beast Blood, my cultivation speed would be even faster! But Level 2 Ferocious Beast Blood has little effect. Only Level 3 Ferocious Beast blood or Ferocious Beast Blood Essence can make me advance by leaps and bounds!” Chu Mo muttered.
It was just that doing so would inevitably require a large amount of Spirit Stones.
Just relying on his savings in hand, he simply couldn’t support such a consumption.
[It seems like I would need to join Jade Pavilion!] Chu Mo concluded.
It just so happened that the Jade Pavilion’s constraints weren’t major. In fact, he was relatively unconstrained. Even if he joined, it wouldn’t have much impact on him and he could even gain quite a lot of benefits.
The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Since his mind was made up, he wouldn’t hesitate anymore.
The next morning, Chu Mo directly went to the Jade Pavilion and met Mo Shanshan.
“How is it, how did you consider it?” Mo Shanshan asked.
“I’ve considered it and agree to your invitation to become a Guest Official of Jade Pavilion Trade Union!” Chu Mo nodded, but then added, “However, I still need to cultivate on my own normally and can’t help out for extended periods of time.”
“Oh, please don’t worry about that.” Obtaining Chu Mo’s agreement, Mo Shanshan was elated as she continued with a smile, “If we need your help, we will notify you in advance. If you are willing to accept, you only need to give a reply and be able to quickly arrive when needed. Other than that, you are free to do whatever you want.”
“In that case, you have my thanks!” Chu Mo nodded in satisfaction.
Mo Shanshan was also very happy.
She immediately took out the Guest Official identification prepared beforehand from the side and handed it to Chu Mo, saying, “This is the identification used by Jade Pavilion Trade Union to identity a Guest Official. With this, you can enjoy all the benefits and resources you deserve at any store under us. In critical moments, you can even mobilize the intelligence network of the Jade Pavilion Trade Union and obtain protection…” Mo Shanshan carefully explained the benefits of being a Guest Official once again. This time, with more details.
Chu Mo naturally listened attentively.
At noon that day, he ate another meal there and only left in the afternoon.
In the following period of time, Chu Mo drank a portion of Ferocious Beast Blood every day and cultivated.
His strength also continuously increased as time passed.
While Chu Mo was continuously cultivating, at this time on the outskirts of Mount Dashu, the grand joint hunting trial between the two bases that lasted half a month had finally concluded.
Today was the day the hunting trial ended.
At this moment, on the outskirts of Mount Dashu, students walked out one by one from the depths of the dense forest. They submitted the Ferocious Beast Materials they obtained in this half month to determine their ranking!
