Realm-Hopping Martial Master

This world has never been simple!

Storage Bag!

Clutching the extraordinary bag in his hand, Jiang Shu took two deep breaths.

His understanding of the Da Jing Dynasty was still too shallow. He had only learned from President Su that Martial Arts consisted of Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, and Spirit Refinement. But what distinguishes each Realm? What kind of Secret Treasures might a High Realm Martial Artist possess? He knew nothing.

This Liang Tingbo is probably a Qi Refinement-level expert at the Acupoint Passage Realm. This Cold Poison, for him, must not be incurable. The reason for his death wasn't the Cold Poison, but rather that he was hunted down and severely injured! Thinking this way, the Cold Poison should only be effective against Martial Artists at the Body Refinement level.

However, there are differences in strength even among Martial Artists of the Body Refinement level! The higher the ranking of a Middle Grade Cultivation Technique, the stronger the Martial Artist. The 'Four Symbols Internal Energy,' although overall, can only be ranked sixteenth among the Middle Grade Cultivation Techniques of the Da Jing Dynasty, if we were to single out the Xuanwu True Force and Azure Dragon True Strength, they are probably also in the top ten for water and wood attribute True Strengths!

Based on this, even without taking any Elixirs, I might be able to suppress this Cold Poison completely with True Strength alone. However, to achieve this, I definitely need to cultivate to the Blood Exchange Realm or above.

Staring at the surface of the cold pond, Jiang Shu muttered to himself, reviewing everything that had happened at the bottom of the pond in his mind several times over.

Liang Tingbo's schemes were indeed formidable. After all, this was just an ordinary county town. And only Martial Artists above the Refining Internal Realm could possibly notice the strangeness of the cold pond and sink to its very bottom. If someone was stronger than him, all his tricks would naturally be ineffective; he would merely be paving the way for another's benefit. And for those at the Refining Internal Realm or even Blood Exchange Realm, once they fell for the trap, they would basically have to obediently follow his instructions as outlined in his last testament. Indeed, a clever scheme! As expected, few who practiced Martial Arts in the Da Jing Dynasty were simple!

Although I progress quickly in my Martial Arts Cultivation, reaching the Blood Exchange Realm undoubtedly still requires a lot of time. To resolve this poison as quickly as possible, I still need to rely on Elixirs. And according to what Liang Tingbo said, if I could perform Refining on a specialized Elixir for myself, I could even achieve Yin Yang Intersection and enhance my strength. This kind of opportunity is something I must not miss. As for specialized Elixirs... the Realm classification of the Dynasty is Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, Spirit Refinement. Presumably, the grading of Elixirs is similar.

Elixirs for Qi Refinement and Spirit Refinement are beyond what I dare to claim mastery over for now, but Elixir Recipes for lower and Middle Grade Elixirs are created based on the variations of yin and yang and the Five Elements. Alchemists of the Da Jing Dynasty need to try various combinations of medicinal ingredients to find the right Elixir Recipe.

But for me... I can simply return to Xia Country. As long as I have enough samples of Heaven and Earth Treasure Medicine and important materials from Mutant Beasts, using AI to simulate an Elixir Recipe that matches the Cold Poison in my body should be no problem at all! Once I've pushed my lower-grade Alchemy Skill to the Break Limit, I should be able to perform Refining on even the Extreme Fire Yang Gang Pill!

Of course, right now the most important thing is to return to the prefectural city and take on some more tasks. The secret Da Jing tales from the treasury are too important for me. Especially this Storage Bag, is it really as I suspect...

The Xuanwu True Force and the Cold Poison tangled continuously in his kidneys. Jiang Shu circulated the Azure Dragon True Strength, coordinating with the Xuanwu True Force to suppress it. He felt slightly relieved.

Thought after thought emerged in his mind, gradually becoming more refined.

He casually killed a few second-order Mutant Beasts and wrapped the Pill Furnace tightly in their skins.

Jiang Shu walked to Sanling Town. He knocked on Wan Jingxing's door.

"Senior Shang, can we go now?"

Perhaps the pressure from the Qin Family was too immense. Even in Yongning County, Wan Jingxing was like a startled bird. In the small town, which had no Martial Artists, he kept to himself and remained cautious.

"Mm."

Jiang Shu nodded, and the group immediately set off.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Yongning County, the prefectural city.

Outside the south gate, on a wide river, Wan Jingxing and his family boarded a large ship, heading towards the state city.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shu spent nearly a month completing some nearby tasks. He also used the considerable fortune earned from moissanite and perfumes to convert into enough Contribution Value. Then, leveraging his status as a first-class genius, he successfully entered the treasury again and exchanged his Contribution Value for the secret Da Jing tales.

「Xia Country.」

Ji City, upscale residential area, Zhen Shui Mansion.

First floor.

At Jiang Shu's request, his new home was extremely spacious. All unnecessary walls had been knocked down. The balcony, living room, and kitchen now formed an open area of over sixty square meters, laid out with large porcelain tiles.

On the balcony, sunlight slanted in through large floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating some green plants that thrived, clearly tended to daily. The entire new house was open from north to south.

Jiang Shu unlocked the door with his fingerprint and walked into the study. The bookshelves were filled with unremarkable books. He pressed a switch, and the bookshelves slid apart. A heavy alloy door was revealed. He unlocked it with his fingerprint and entered.

This was a secret chamber he had personally constructed, where he planned to store the rare Elixirs and Secret Treasures obtained in the Da Jing Dynasty. The secret chamber's windows had all been replaced with thick bulletproof glass. The walls were not covered with wallpaper but with a metal alloy five centimeters thick.

The room, originally quite spacious, was now only about ten square meters after such modifications. The space wasn't large, but for the time being, it was enough.

He placed the black Pill Furnace in a corner.
