Chapter 75: Drinking Thunder Pool Liquid, System, You Can’t Do This

Chapter 75: Gulping Down Thunder Pool Liquid, System, You’re Not Good Enough!

As soon as these words were spoken,

everyone present reacted even more strongly.

Their pupils contracted.

They looked sharply at Jiang Li.

If Foundation Establishment slaying Golden Core, and Foundation Establishment destroying a sect, were true, then this Chief Disciple of Tianjian Peak was simply too much of a Prodigy.

Zhang Song showed a look of surprise, rising from his chair: “My good Disciple, is what he said true? You stayed in Jiangzhou all these days just for this matter?”

Even as his Master, he found it somewhat hard to believe at this moment.

No other reason.

Golden Core and Foundation Establishment were two completely different Concepts.

Foundation Establishment invincibility did not mean one could defeat a Golden Core Cultivator, let alone kill them.

Seeing this,

Jiang Li knew he could no longer hide it and could only admit: “Master, what I was just about to say was this matter. I knew the Shenhuo Mountain Manor incident was a knot in your heart, so I put in some effort to find the true culprits, and then used the situation to destroy their branch stronghold. I didn’t let a single person live; they were all executed.”

Hearing Jiang Li’s admission,

the few Elder Xingfas on the scene also couldn’t sit still.

They all stood up.

Cui Yan exclaimed even more: “I really didn’t expect your strength, kid, to have reached such a level. I’m afraid among all Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators, you are a contender for first place and guaranteed to be in the top three.”

Creating a wind disaster by borrowing the power of the wind meant that Jiang Li’s comprehension of the Wind Concept had reached an astonishing level. Even if it couldn’t be considered regular combat power, as long as he had this trump card, Jiang Li’s strength could not be underestimated.

“Elder Zhang has truly taken in a good Disciple. Knowing you’ve always been bothered by the Shenhuo Mountain Manor incident, even going so far as to ask us old fellows for help, and that we would dig three feet deep to eradicate the Yinkui Sect’s branch in Jiangzhou, he took action first, just to give you a surprise, Old Zhang.”

Cui Yan’s eyes were filled with envy.

He already regretted why he didn’t try harder to get him back then.

A Disciple like this was simply here to repay a kindness.

The other Elder Xingfas nodded in agreement.

They were envious to the point of ‘cytoplasmic streaming’.

If they had a Disciple like Jiang Li, they could die with a smile on their faces.

At this moment,

Zhang Song was also beaming from ear to ear.

His eyes, besides relief and pride, were full of joy.

“You kid, you quietly gave me such a big gift. It truly makes your Master feel ashamed. Don’t do this again next time. How can there be a principle of Disciples sharing their Master’s worries in this world?”

Zhang Song sternly admonished.

“Alright, Old Zhang, stop pretending. Your big teeth must be about to fall out from smiling, right? If I had a Disciple like that, I’d be afraid of him falling even if I held him.”

Cui Yan rolled his eyes at him.

Zhang Song couldn’t hold back for a second, his lips curving upwards forcefully, and he pulled Jiang Li behind him, preventing his precious Disciple from being coveted.

At this time,

Deputy Hall Master Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master, who was in the main seat, also stood up.

He was two and a half meters tall, like a small giant, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

“Greetings, Hall Master Bai.”

Jiang Li cupped his hands and bowed.

Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master nodded, his eyes full of appreciation.

“From the description just now, you also have achievements in Body Refining?”

Jiang Li humbly replied: “I’ve dabbled a little.”

Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master waved his hand: “Humility is not a good quality. As a Body Cultivator, everything comes down to one word—’contend’. The fact that you can wrestle with a Golden Core Immortal Master who has fused with a demonic beast’s body shows that your physique has at least reached Foundation Establishment Perfection. I have an Opportunity here, most suitable for Body Cultivators, but it carries a certain degree of danger, and involves the Yao Race. If you’ve thought it through, you can come find me, but be quick.”

Jiang Li paused slightly at his words.

This description seemed similar to what the Body Refining instructor of the Huashen Class said.

Could this be the same Opportunity?

For two Nascent Soul Stage Body Cultivators to mention it simultaneously, this Opportunity was definitely extraordinary, even beyond his initial expectations.

“I will consider it.”

Jiang Li said seriously.

“Hmm, I think highly of you. Although you are a Sword Cultivator, I believe you have more talent in Body Cultivation. If you were to apprentice with me…”

Before Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master could finish his sentence, Zhang Song had already glared angrily. You big brute, have you also learned to poach people?

Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master chuckled dryly.

He took back his words.

His expression showed some regret.

“Since the matter is resolved, I won’t stay any longer. However, Jiang Li, you can consider my suggestion a bit more. Having two Masters is actually quite normal.”

Deputy Hall Master Bai finished speaking at an extremely fast pace and disappeared from the spot, not giving any chance for trouble.

…

After leaving the Law Enforcement Hall,

Zhang Song asked: “What do you think of Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master’s suggestion? Just say it. If you are interested in Dual Cultivation of both Spell and Body, then I will personally go find Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master and ask him to take you as his Disciple.”

Jiang Li shook his head.

“Master, my Body Refining method is different from normal Body Cultivators; it’s not suitable for having someone guide me.”

The Cultivation Technique, “Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill,” only had one way to improve, and that was through Imperial Dynasty Dragon Qi. Other things, whether Medicinal Pills or Cultivation resources, could only be considered embellishments.

“It’s fine as long as you have your own ideas. I won’t interfere with your Cultivation.”

As they talked,

the Master and Disciple had already returned to the seventh floor of Tianjian Peak.

Zhang Song looked at the side hall, which was being rebuilt with great fanfare by the cliff, and his mouth twitched slightly: “My good Disciple, I’m not surprised you could ascend to the seventh floor, but why are you tearing down and rebuilding your side hall? I heard the Hall Master of Tiangong Hall say that you want to build a Human Emperor Palace?”

The first time he heard this, he was also stunned for a moment.

To replicate the Imperial Palace of the Piaomiao Dynasty in the Tianxuan Holy Land—those who didn’t know would think an emperor lived inside.

Moreover, because it was built on the edge of a cliff, the overall structure was very conspicuous.

One could see this majestic, yet unfinished, palace when passing by Tianjian Peak.

Regarding this,

Jiang Li had an explanation ready.

“Master, didn’t you choose a Body Refining method for me before?”

“Is it that Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill? Hmm? You’re not going to tell me that you’re still Cultivating this Body Refining Cultivation Technique, are you?”

Zhang Song was greatly surprised.

He had thought Jiang Li had some Opportunity outside and Cultivated a profound Body Refining Cultivation Technique, but now it seemed Jiang Li was still Cultivating the Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill.

Although this Body Refining method could Cultivate the Acquired Thick Earth Body, it was only of medium-to-upper level and definitely couldn’t allow Jiang Li to possess a Physical Body comparable to the Golden Core Stage while still in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Jiang Li nodded.

“It is indeed the Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill, but my super wisdom tells me that this Body Refining method has another way of Cultivation, which is to simulate the identity of an emperor, using the Power Of Will from incense and the Power Of Will from faith to forge a Holy Emperor’s body.”

Zhang Song was a little bewildered by what he heard.

Modifying a Cultivation Technique?

Did the Pure Heart have such a talent?

How high must one’s Comprehension Ability be to modify a medium-to-upper level Body Refining method like this?

He looked at Jiang Li with an incredulous expression.

He began to wonder if his Disciple was an Immortal who had Reincarnated.

“So, you’re building an Imperial Palace to better immerse yourself in the role of an emperor and collect the so-called Power Of Will from incense?”

Now,

Zhang Song finally understood Jiang Li’s actions.

Recalling Jiang Li’s demeanor during the Flying Sword Competition, he suddenly realized.

Immersive role-playing of the Cultivation Technique’s inherent character to accelerate the Cultivation progress of the Cultivation Technique—the Pure Heart’s talent was truly Heaven-Defying.

There had been no mention of this in previous ancient texts; he had to add it.

Otherwise, it would delay the true talents of future generations.

“I understand. I will personally supervise this here, ensuring that Tiangong Hall uses the best Materials. Since it’s an Imperial Palace, it naturally should be as luxurious as possible. I get it.”

Jiang Li: No, no, no, just finish it normally.

…

Because the Human Emperor Palace was still under construction, Jiang Li left Tianjian Peak and came to the Thunder Pool Chamber in the Tianlei Mountain Range.

Now that he had advanced to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, all five Thunder Palaces had been opened. Next was to connect the twelve Meridians, further enhancing the transformation of his Physical Body by the power of thunder, and achieving a new circulatory structure.

The twelve Meridians were divided into four parts.

They were the three yin Meridians of the hand, the three yang Meridians of the hand, the three yin Meridians of the foot, and the three yang Meridians of the foot. Thunder Qi needed to separately penetrate these twelve Meridians, connecting them end to end, and transforming them into places that could accommodate the power of thunder.

Once connected, he would smoothly enter the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment and once again gain a new type of Thunder Spell.

However, this method of Cultivation was extremely demanding.

If the amount of Qi transported was too large, exceeding the Meridians’ maximum endurance, the Thunder Qi would overflow and damage the Meridians.

Therefore,

Cultivation to this step required the use of an auxiliary Medicinal Pill, the Meridian Protection Pill.

Of course,

those with powerful Physical Bodies could ignore this.

And Jiang Li possessed both advantages: the System’s unparalleled control during auto-Cultivation, and an incomparably powerful Physical Body.

“Activate the Cultivation Technique Growth Plan.”

Jiang Li silently thought.

【Ding, activation successful.】

【Cultivation Technique “Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra” begins operation.】

The next second,

Jiang Li released control of his body, letting the Cultivation Technique take over.

Immediately after,

Jiang Li moved.

He came alone to the edge of the Thunder Pool.

He enveloped a drop of Thunder Pool Liquid with his magical power and sent it into his mouth.

His entire body began to crackle and pop.

Jiang Li:…

Because his previous actions were so outrageous, he even felt that drinking Thunder Pool Liquid seemed unremarkable.

System, you’re not good enough.
