Chapter 37: Chapter 36: Come on, Chop Me Down【Request for Continued Reading】

A Spiritual Instrument... the Sword Pill... Wen Zhixing’s mind stirred.

This was the second time he had drawn a Spiritual Instrument, and he had not chosen to keep it the previous time.

Even if he had a Spiritual Instrument in hand, he couldn’t unleash much of its power.

Only by stepping into the Qi Movement Realm could one truly harness its mighty potential.

But the situation was somewhat different now.

He wasn’t far from stepping into the Qi Movement Realm and, for the time being, he wasn’t in dire need of Fortune Points.

"Choose one."

[You have gained the Spiritual Instrument: Sword Pill!]

[Sword Pill: White Quality. The Sword Pill is pill-shaped but embodies the essence of a sword. It is sharp enough to cut iron like mud and flexible enough to coil around one’s finger.]

[Expend 100 Fortune Points to upgrade to Blue Quality.]

With a flash of light, a simple, unadorned grey iron pill appeared in Wen Zhixing’s palm.

Is this the Sword Pill...

A hint of curiosity shone in Wen Zhixing’s eyes.

This was his first encounter with a so-called Spiritual Instrument.

"It’s quite hard indeed."

Wen Zhixing weighed it slightly, then... it seemed there was nothing more.

The so-called Spiritual Instrument required the activation of Spiritual Qi from within the body to unleash its power.

Currently, at the Sixth Level of the Shedding Mortal Realm, Wen Zhixing naturally couldn’t activate it.

I can only put it away for now.

After toying with it briefly, he decided to set it aside for later.

To him, this object could only be used for throwing at someone. Picking up a stone from the ground would have a similar attacking effect.

RUSTLE... RUSTLE...

At that moment, Wen Zhixing heard a noise coming from outside.

He didn’t pay it any mind.

He was familiar with the sound.

It was his Life Defying Blood Body returning.

Every night, the Life Defying Blood Body would diligently clock in for its shift.

It was just a bit unlucky. _{f.r(e)e\webn.ovel.co\m}

As soon as the Life Defying Blood Body entered the room, Wen Zhixing prepared to store it away as usual.

But this time, the Life Defying Blood Body dashed up to Wen Zhixing and stared intently at the Sword Pill in his palm.

"You... want this?"

Wen Zhixing was taken aback for a moment before he understood the Life Defying Blood Body’s intention.

Despite its terrifying appearance, the Life Defying Blood Body looked somewhat dazed.

"Take it."

Wen Zhixing’s eyes flickered, and he tossed the Sword Pill over.

The Sword Pill, though small, was still much larger than the Life Defying Blood Body’s current size.

Just as Wen Zhixing thought the Life Defying Blood Body would change its shape, it reached out. The Sword Pill turned into a stream of grey light and wound around its finger.

A tiny iron ring coiled around the Life Defying Blood Body’s right index finger.

Sharp enough to cut iron as if it were mud, and flexible enough to coil around one’s finger.

Wen Zhixing immediately recalled these words.

He hadn’t expected his own Life Defying Blood Body to be capable of using the Sword Pill.

Could it be...

"Try becoming a sword."

Wen Zhixing’s mind stirred, and he started issuing commands.

The Life Defying Blood Body nodded, its blood energy surged violently, funneling directly into the ring.

The Sword Pill instantly turned a dark red.

Its shape elongated and then changed.

A longsword, thin as a cicada’s wing, was now held in the Life Defying Blood Body’s hands.

Red blood energy coursed through the blade, emitting a dazzling bloody light.

The Life Defying Blood Body brandished the sword in its hand, seemingly overjoyed.

YIPPEE...

It was as if a three or four-year-old child had found an exceptional weapon and begun wildly attacking the cauliflower heads in the field.

So that’s how it is... The Blood Body’s means of attack are different from mine; it uses its own blood energy to attack...

Wen Zhixing watched the Life Defying Blood Body on the ground, his thoughts deepening as he began to make some conclusions.

The force driving the Sword Pill didn’t have to be Spiritual Qi. Other origin powers could work as well.

If it were a member of the devil race, they would use Devil Qi to activate a Spiritual Instrument.

However, the Spiritual Instrument would then become a Devil Instrument.

The Life Defying Blood Body was using blood energy, which naturally could also activate the Sword Pill.

After a while, the Life Defying Blood Body grew more adept at using the Sword Pill, brandishing the sword while a series of blood-red sword winds began to coalesce.

The sword wind, though small, flickered with a chilling light that sent shivers down one’s spine.

Upon seeing this, Wen Zhixing stretched out his right hand and approached.

"Come, strike me."

"?"

The Life Defying Blood Body tilted its head, somewhat bemused.

But it couldn’t refuse Wen Zhixing’s command.

PFFT!

A crimson sword glow shot up into the sky.

A streak of blood appeared on Wen Zhixing’s arm, which then split open, revealing a large swath of flesh.

This...

Wen Zhixing was shocked.

He lifted his arm, staring at the wound, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Such a swift sword, such powerful destructive force!

Just a few days ago, he had struck himself with a sword.

As a result, not a scratch.

But now, his Copper Skin and Iron Bones were directly cleaved by a single strike.

If not for the sword wind being too small, his arm might have been severed in two.

Is this the might of a Spiritual Instrument?

Wen Zhixing clicked his tongue in wonder.

He had been somewhat proud, thinking his body was so formidable that he could probably beat quite a few cultivators at the Qi Movement Realm.

But now he sobered up.

If an opponent were to wield a Spiritual Instrument, they could probably finish him with a single move.

After all, not everyone was as weak as Zhang Tiancheng.

The Life Defying Blood Body, however, was frightened.

The Sword Pill in its hand clanged to the ground.

"It’s okay. It will heal quickly."

Wen Zhixing reassured it soothingly. His arm was healing at an incredibly fast pace, the bleeding already having stopped.

Wen Zhixing said with a chuckle, "From now on, this thing is yours. You’ve worked hard, running around all day."

Hearing Wen Zhixing’s words, the Life Defying Blood Body immediately cheered up again.

It hugged the Sword Pill and started rolling around.

If you weren’t so ugly, you’d actually be quite cute.

Wen Zhixing thought to himself.

He had thought his Life Defying Blood Body would be a fierce and aggressive warrior, but it turned out to be tenderhearted and childlike inside.

Afterwards, Wen Zhixing, rather unusually, did not take the Life Defying Blood Body back into his body.

He just let it play around by itself.

He then sat down in a meditative posture once more for cultivation.

He needed to intensify his cultivation efforts.

He had spent two years of life-span in these four days. His original life-span of 121 years was now only 119.

The consumption rate was a bit fast.

「The night passed quickly.」

[Through your diligent cultivation, your Eternal Youth Formula has officially entered the Second Level.]

[Life-span +10. Current life-span: 129.]

I’ve made a breakthrough!

Wen Zhixing slowly opened his eyes, joy evident on his face.

He looked down and saw the Life Defying Blood Body standing silently by his side, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

As for the Sword Pill, it was clutched in its arms like a treasured item.

"Put it away. No one is going to snatch it from you."

Wen Zhixing smiled.

Truly like a child.

Upon hearing Wen Zhixing’s words, the Life Defying Blood Body obediently stored away the Sword Pill, transforming it into a ring wound around its index finger.

Another new day had begun.

After washing up, just as Wen Zhixing was preparing to continue his cultivation systematically as usual,

[Fortune Fragment detected, would you like to spend one month of life-span to obtain it randomly?]

Someone’s here again.

With a thought, Wen Zhixing immediately waved his hand and took the Life Defying Blood Body back into his body.

It had been quite a while since someone had visited his little place.

Outside the small courtyard, a familiar yet strange figure appeared.

The person had a bruised and swollen face, walked with a limp, and had a head swollen like a 200-pound pig’s.

If one looked closely, they could discern a few traces of Zhang Tiancheng.
