Chapter 145: Chapter 43 Ghost Bone Inch Gold Pill 【Two more updates】_1

The process of Chu Liang traversing through the fog alone was fraught with danger indeed.

The journey was only slightly difficult for Luo Yao and Pu Shan, who were in the Golden Core Realm. However, Chu Liang was merely in the Divine Consciousness Realm, his godly soul’s strength far inferior to theirs.

As he moved through the fog with the White Bone Torch raised, he felt an increasing dampness on his body, as though he was being pressed hard to the point of literally being unable to lift his shoulders.

And all around him came tempting calls, "Come...."

Illusions appeared more and more around him, he saw mountains of gold and silver stacked on both sides... he saw slopes covered with spiritual plants... he saw Senior Sister Jiang waving at him from the side...

"I can’t go on like this." He fiercely bit his tongue, stimulating his divine consciousness to maintain his clarity.

If he continued like this, he would not need the Reaper Ghosts to strike at his weakness, instead, he might be lured by these Ghosts and end up staying here forever.

After some consideration, he took out the Green Leaf Magical Instrument and unfurled it into the form of the Treasure Leaf Lantern.

Poof-

A bunch of divine fire lit up on the central treasure orb, and suddenly, cries of pain echoed around Chu Liang: "Ahhh-"

There were indeed countless invisible ghosts hidden in the fog that wished to lure his soul away and take over his physical body. Chu Liang was secretly surprised.

Thanks to the divine fire which naturally restrained the underworld ghosts, he was able to keep these ghosts at bay.

Although the divine fire from the Red Lotus Treasure Orb was not as effective in dispelling the fog and could only illuminate a radius of two feet around Chu Liang, it indeed was particularly outstanding at dispelling the ghosts.

Chu Liang pondered for a bit and decided to hold the Treasure Leaf Lamp in one hand and the White Bone Torch in the other, thus moving forward confidently and steadily.

He was able to fend off all varieties of evil!

"Ahhh-"

Not long after, another Reaper Ghost pounced at him from the side, seemingly taking advantage of Chu Liang’s occupied hands that could not immediately strike back in defense.

But the cold glint in Chu Liang’s eyes flashed as the divine fire quickly extended from his right hand into a condensed divine radiance.

Schick-

The divine radiance converged into a sword, slashing horizontally across the Reaper Ghost’s body, cutting it in two at the waist!

As the severed bones fell onto the ground, Chu Liang nodded approvingly.

To kill a ghost, nothing works better than the Divine Light Ghost Slayer Sword!

However, behind this Reaper Ghost, four to five more ghostly figures suddenly appeared... It was a small group of Reaper Ghosts!

Chu Liang tensed up, intending to retreat, but his movements were hindered in the fog. Next thing he knew, he was surrounded by the Reaper Ghosts. The four ghosts surrounded him and then leaped into the air!

Moving as fast as lightning, they were about to tear Chu Liang apart!

"Take That!"

With a shout, Chu Liang instantly wielded the Divine Light Ghost Slayer Sword, forming an impenetrable Divine Light Barrier!

Schick schick schick--

Before the four Reaper Ghosts could close in, they were cut into parts by the deadly lamp globe and their severed limbs fell to the ground in a pile of fragments.

"Phew...", Chu Liang finally let out a breath, and reluctantly said to himself.

Junior Brother Wen, I’m sorry.

After such a journey, the fact that he was alone when he returned to the troop, still looking weak and deceptively fooling Guide Envoy, was perfect.

After Luo Yao and Monk Pu Shan came back, they praised him, not only for his outstanding wisdom in quelling the suspicions of the Guide Envoy, but also for the difficulties they themselves experienced while passing through the dense fog.

This only confirmed their impression of Chu Liang, that he is not an ordinary Divine Consciousness Realm disciple of the Shu Mountain Sect!

...

He finally was able to settle down at the back of the team.

Chu Liang then took out his dispatched divine sense, checking the jade slip dropped by the Earth Slaying Envoy. He probed into it and saw lines of floating text.

This was a cultivation technique, known as the "Divine Slaughter Blood Refining Technique".

Previously, when the Earth Slaying Envoy encountered the forbidden technique, he withstood an attack with just the explosion of his own blood. He later nearly retaliated and escaped, all thanks to his blood that was filled with potent spirituality.

Chu Liang initially thought it was the tempering of bone and blood when breaking through to the Five Elements Realm, but it seems it wasn’t an effect that could be achieved through ordinary cultivation.

He had a specialized Blood Refining Technique!

Chu Liang immediately studied it in detail and found that this Divine Slaughter Blood Refining Technique relied on absorbing the tiny bit of soul essence from the blood of a demon beast at the moment it was killed, and used it to temper one’s own blood.

There are many secret parts of the human body that can be cultivated. Internally it’s like essence, Qi, divine thoughts and so on, which are the most practiced by cultivators and all realms are derived from this. Externally, it pertains to bones, flesh, and skin, which are important for martial artists or body cultivators.

But blood flows through the veins, and despite everything related to internal and external cultivation, very few cultivators separately give spirituality to the blood.

The founder of this technique thought of this, and that is why he created this technique.

The technique has nine stages, corresponding to the soul essence blood of nine realm demon beasts. The initial stage only requires the essence blood of any ordinary demon beast. Gradually, the requirements become higher, by the seventh or eighth stage, the essence blood from a divine beast is needed. As for the final stage, the blood of a beast god that has reached the Ninth Realm Tongxuan is required to absorb!

Truly a dream-like realm... Chu Liang muttered to himself.

The Earth Slaying Envoy at most cultivated to the fifth or sixth stage of this technique, after all, a Seventh Realm divine beast was not something he could possibly kill. Thinking about the power he showed, Chu Liang felt that this was absolutely a technique worth practicing.

Keeping the "Divine Slaughter Blood Refining Technique", which he couldn’t cultivate at the time, Chu Liang drew back his Divine Sense and probed within the White Pagoda.

He had killed a few Reaper Ghosts earlier, but he had not received any rewards. Now that he had a moment’s peace, he might as well see what he got.

Upon entering the White Pagoda, he saw the ugly phantoms of Reaper Ghosts floating in iron cages. Chu Liang stepped forward and pressed the word "Refine" without hesitation.

Boom--

A round, pure white glow floated out from within, its familiar shape stirred him.

Is it another Elixir?

The Fierce Tiger Primordial Pill given by the White Pagoda last time left a deep impression on him, and the power of Ten Tigers still remained in his body. He wondered what the elixir given by the Reaper Ghost might do.

"Ghost Bone Inch Gold Pill":

Upon consuming this pill, one can fortify any inch of their skeletal system, making it as hard as gold and stone.

"Eh?"

The effect of this item required some contemplation from Chu Liang - the ability to choose any inch to enhance to the hardness of gold and stone... It was a pity that it could only be used on bones.

The place where Chu Liang wanted to enhance hardness the most had no skeleton at all.

Yes.

Those were his organs.

As mentioned before, cultivators internally nurture their essence, Qi, and divine thoughts; and externally fortify their bones, flesh, and skin. Parts of the body like the five main organs and the six constituents, however, are often weak links in the cultivation process. Even if there are specific practices in place to strengthen these organs, they would only be relatively stronger compared to an average person. Among all parts of a cultivator’s body, the internal organs are still considered a fatal weakness.

If the organs could be made more robust, it would be a significant enhancement to oneself.

Unfortunately, the Ghost Bone Inch Gold Pill only works on fortifying the bones. He killed six Reaper Ghosts in total, so he could open six Ghost Bone Inch Gold Pills. One inch is about three centimeters, Chu Liang calculated, just right.

The place he wanted to enhance also happened to be six inches long.

Yes.

Those were his fingers.

If he must choose among his bones, his first choice would naturally be the bones of his fingers. After all, fingers are the most used and flexible part of the body, and enhancing them would yield the greatest results.

He swallowed a Ghost Bone Inch Gold Pill and immediately felt a surge of warmth spread throughout his body. Guiding this warmth with his Divine Thought, he directed it to the tip of his index finger, and quickly finished fortifying this joint.

He stretched his finger joints, they didn’t seem any different, but Chu Liang could sense the faint flow of spiritual power. The impact of the pill was already there, the White Pagoda never disappointed him.

Then he repeated this operation and enhanced all six finger joints of his index and middle fingers.

After this operation, Chu Liang showed a slight smile.

He now had a pair of Golden Fingers in the true sense!
