Li shenrong saw this and understood that the holy city wasn't as safe as it sounded. Black was hidden under the guise of white.
After walking along the street for a while, he found an inn to stay.
It provided a free meal in the morning, quite generous.
Li shenrong sat on the bed and started cultivating.
It is time for me to breakthrough. Bone tempering realm; when one have successfully broken through to the last stage of the body strengthening realm, he have to start tempering the bones with chaos energy and perfectly congregate it with his physic body.
Chaos energy is a bit different from qi energy, it is more denser and purer. The purer and dense the chaos energy is, stronger the physic body will become.
Failing to combine both physic body and bone in a perfect sync will result in severe backlash.
But with my godly physique i can bypass the bone tempering stage and bone and physic body congregation.
I cultivate a godly physique, a half completion at that, which gives me strength to compete against a spirit accumulation realm expert while being a body strengthening realm cultivator.
Once i reach bone tempering realm, i'll have strength to kill a physic foundation realm.
After a night of cultivation, li shenrong broke through to body tempering realm.
It hadn't been more than two months since he started cultivation but he was already at the bone tempering realm.
If any other person knew of his progress they'd be dumbfounded.
For a regular cultivator, it take two years to become a ninth level martial warrior, then, a month to be a body strengthening realm.
Body strengthening realm was divided into three stages; Initial stage, middle stage, last stage.
It'll take half and one year or a year to reach late stage body strengthening realm.
As for a heaven defying genius, starting from the scratch, the shortest time to reach bone tempering realm would be one year.
But for li shenrong, it took no less than two month, even though he was suppressing his cultivation to build a firm foundation.
And the credit goes to his godly physique. If he was cultivating an immortal physique, his cultivation speed would skyrocket even more. His previous experience also played a part in too.
Li shenrong stood up and stretched out his muscles.
With bone tempering realm cultivation he could feel an explosive strength coursing through his body.
Li shenrong nodded his head in satisfaction.
'Knock knock'
A knock was heard on the door.
Li shenrong opened the door as the inkeeper's assistant brought food into his room.
He threw the guy a crystal coin which made him smile ear to ear.
"Sir, if you need something just ring the bell. I'll do my best to." He said before leaving.
Currently, i am short on money. This is the first time after so many years i feel so poor. Guess i should think of a way to earn some money.
Li shenrong thought as he finished all the food in his plate. After a night of cultivation his stomach was growling like a beast.
Soon after, he left the inn to find a way to earn some crystal coins.
He came before an alchemy shop and entered. It was known as the biggest alchemy shop in the holy city.
"Sir, are you here to buy a pill or medicine herbs? We can.." Li shenrong interrupted the staff midway and said. " I want to concoct some pills."
"Sir, you are an alchemist?" The staff was surprised as he took out a paper and gave it to li shenrong.
Li shenrong filled in the paper and followed the staff into the innermost part of the shop.
"Sir, if you lack any herbs or other materials, our shop can provide you with it at a discount of five percent." The staff smiled and explained.
Li shenrong nodded but said nothing, because he had gathered an abundant amount of herbs and plants on his way to holy city.
Such a young alchemist.. let's see what level he is at. I never saw him in the city before, he must be new to the city. If he is talented then i can introduce him to the master alchemists and gain some merit from the clan.
The staff watched as li shenrong entered the pill concocting room.
It has been few millennia since i last concocted something. I wonder if my hands became rusty or not.
Li shenrong chuckled as he closed his eyes to sort out his thoughts. After a while he decided to concoct 'Soul and cage severing' pill.
Since he wanted to earn money, he needs to earn big. This 'soul and cage severing' pill is an extremely rare pill and very difficult to refine.
Li shenrong had all the materials for its refinement. So it'd be a waste not to refine it.
