Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Looking at the Level 1 Leveling Scroll in his bag, Gong Ziliang did not think much and directly clicked to use it.
Gong Ziliang: Level 12, 13%
Copper Coins: 2,050,000
Ingots: 1,503
Augmenting Stones: 134
Star Ascension Stones: 134
“Roar!”

Gong Ziliang was shocked. He had just spent 2 million copper coins, and now, he had regained them.
In that case, Gong Ziliang immediately spent 800,000 copper coins to raise the four skills to Level 12. With 1,250,000 copper coins left, he opened the Body Tempering column in the Forging Function.
Immediately, he discovered that the Qi Condensation icon in the body cultivation column had lit up. It was indeed as he had guessed.
The nine attributes in the Body Tempering column really corresponded to the nine realms of the Martial Spirit Continent.
They were: Iron Bones, Qi Condensation, Meridian Opening, Core Condensation, Five Treasures, Golden Body, Transcendent Mortal, Divine Power, and Physical Sage!
On the other hand, after absorbing the Fire Cat King’s spirit core and breaking through to the Qi Refinement Realm, the Body Tempering column also unlocked the Qi Condensation attribute icon.
However, there was one thing that made Gong Ziliang almost vomit blood.
“Damn, you son of a watermelon! You actually need 500,000 copper coins to level up the Qi Condensation attribute once? This is worse than robbery!”
This indeed made Gong Ziliang feel as if his wallet was empty. The two million copper coins that he had just obtained were about to leave him again.
But what could he do?
Who asked him to be able to spend copper coins to become invincible?
“Damn!”
“This damned cheat!”
Seeing that the Iron Bones attribute was Level 5, and every level up would always cost 100,000 copper coins, Gong Ziliang directly spent 700,000 copper coins to level up the Iron Bones to Level 12. The remaining 550,000 copper coins could only level up the Qi Condensation attribute once and raise it to Level 1.
Every time the Iron Bones attribute increased, the familiar and annoying feeling of thousands of ants biting every part of his body assaulted him again. It was extremely painful.
However, when Gong Ziliang reached Level 1 Qi Condensation, a strange feeling appeared on his body.
A power similar to spirit stones appeared and lingered around him.
However, as long as he moved, this power would disperse.
This was the spiritual qi of a cultivator!
Memories of the Qi Refinement Realm and sensing spiritual qi suddenly surfaced in his mind.
After learning and upgrading the Qi Condensation attribute in his body, Gong Ziliang was shocked to discover that he could see some spiritual qi that he usually could not.
In the past, he could only calm down and sense the spiritual qi of heaven and earth when he was meditating. Now, he could see that this spiritual qi was right beside him.
Just as Gong Ziliang was feeling curious, the spiritual qi that was only half a meter away from him actually approached him automatically!
Then, it took the initiative to enter Gong Ziliang’s body to nourish it.
A comfortable feeling made him involuntarily let out a series of groans.
“Damn! If others heard this, they would think I was filming AV in my room…”

“However, speaking of which, I remember that the senior brothers and sisters of the sect once said that this spiritual qi should only appear in the late-stage Qi Refinement Realm, right?”
Gong Ziliang was very surprised by this.
Others would only have such a phenomenon of spiritual qi entering their bodies when they were close to the Meridian Opening Realm at the seventh or eighth stage of the Qi Refinement Realm.
As for him, Gong Ziliang, he was at the second stage Qi Refinement Realm and had already grasped spiritual qi.
All of this was thanks to the Qi Condensation attribute in the Body Tempering column. It had only been upgraded to Level 1 and it was already like this. If he prepared a few million copper coins to increase its level, what kind of effect would it have?
Gong Ziliang did not even dare to think about this.
Why?
Because he was poor!
Gong Ziliang cursed in his mind: Damn, you son of a watermelon! You’re asking for 500,000 copper coins each level. This system loves money too much!
At the same time, outside the guest courtyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, another man was quickly rushing towards Gong Ziliang’s room.
He was Xu Fei.
“What the hell is going on! Why is there a strange sound coming from Gong Ziliang’s room?”
“What’s going on?”
“Could it be… No, no, no! This is impossible!”
“Xu Fei, oh Xu Fei, why would you have such thoughts?”
“It’s impossible for Xia to be together with Gong Ziliang. Therefore, according to the analysis of these factors, there’s another woman in Gong Ziliang’s room!”
“Good! Gong Ziliang, you actually dare to bring another woman into the City Lord’s Mansion…”
“Eh? No, Gong Ziliang only knows Xia here. Then… is it really Gong Ziliang and Xia doing that in the room?”
“Damn you!”
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Fei ignored the orders of the City Lord of Green Cloud City, Bai Qingfeng, and rushed to Gong Ziliang’s room.
Bang!
Xu Fei kicked the door open. This sudden situation directly frightened Gong Ziliang. He hurriedly clenched his fist and was prepared to unleash a Dragon Roar Fist Technique at any time.
After the smoke dissipated, Gong Ziliang saw that it was Big Brother Xu Fei.
However, he still did not understand what this meant. He asked curiously, “Big Brother Xu Fei, what happened?”
“What happened? That’s my question! Look at what you’ve done!”
Xu Fei’s face turned red from anger. He quickly stepped forward and directly removed the blanket on Gong Ziliang’s bed, but he did not see a woman here.
He asked again, “Speak! Which woman did you bring into the City Lord’s Mansion?”
“A… a woman?” Gong Ziliang said in a daze, “What woman? Ever since I went down the mountain for the mission, I’ve only known one woman, Bai Chuxia. Where did another woman come from?”
When Gong Ziliang said this, it made Xu Fei even angrier. He grabbed Gong Ziliang’s collar and cursed, “Alright, looks like you bastard really did something outrageous to Xia. I’m so angry. I want to fight you one-on-one!”
“One-on-one?”
Gong Ziliang was stunned again. What was going on? How could it be a one-on-one battle?
Did Xu Fei misunderstand something?
“That’s right! The winner takes all. The loser will take the initiative and give up on Xia!” Xu Fei glared at Gong Ziliang and shouted.
When he said this, Gong Ziliang suddenly thought of something.
It seemed that Xu Fei had misunderstood!
Perhaps the sound that he let out after absorbing the spiritual qi had reached Xu Fei’s ears. He even thought that he was sweating in bed because of Bai Chuxia.
This Xu Fei really liked Bai Chuxia.
However, it was one thing to like her, but what did it have to do with the handsome Gong Ziliang?
“I refuse,” Gong Ziliang replied simply and stood up.
Just as he was about to leave, Xu Fei grabbed Gong Ziliang’s clothes and pulled him back. He pressed him back onto the bed and roared, “You have to fight even if you don’t want to! This is the dignity of a man!”
Dignity?
Gong Ziliang felt helpless. This Xu Fei was too serious.
Just as Xu Fei pressed Gong Ziliang onto the bed, Bai Chuxia arrived.
As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw two men on the bed…
Bai Chuxia was extremely embarrassed and stuttered, “I’m… I’m sorry to disturb you. You guys… continue…”
