Chapter 1420: Chapter 1008, Body Refining Technique Complete_2

The sound of knocking came, and Mini’s voice came in, “Master, Miss Redi Li is visiting.”

Wu Heng opened the door and went out, Mini was waiting at the door.

He naturally put his arm around her shoulder and asked, “Just arrived?”

“It’s been a while since she came over. She came to deliver a special item to Sister Viola and then asked if you were in,” Mini replied.

“Mm, let’s go take a look.” Wu Heng led her downstairs.

…

Living room.

As they walked downstairs, they saw Viola and Redi Li, two women with different temperaments but equally beautiful, sitting in the living room chatting.

Upon hearing the footsteps, they saw Wu Heng and Mini coming down.

The two immediately got up to greet them.

“Master!”

“Leader!”

“Sit down!” Wu Heng sat on the sofa.

After the two sat down, Viola took the initiative to say, “Miss Redi Li brought me the special item I ordered last time.”

Saying this, she took out a pair of glasses with silver frames.

[Illusion Mist Goggles (Special Item)]

[Effect: Blurs the wearer’s appearance.]

[Side effect: Causes dry eyes and pain with prolonged wear.]

(Description: Lenses made of natural crystal that, when worn, envelop the wearer in a faint mist, making it impossible to see their appearance clearly.)

Now, Viola is quite a prominent figure, in some ways, even more famous than Wu Heng.

At least, more people have heard about Wu Heng’s appearance, while Viola’s looks are completely exposed through cards.

Now, she just takes a stroll around the central district and is back.

However, this special item’s effect is indeed rather ordinary.

Being indistinct might arouse others’ curiosity even more.

Wu Heng glanced at it and then told Viola to put it away, turning to Redi Li, “The consortium’s efficiency is indeed fast.”

“The Island Lord’s Mansion is our esteemed guest,” Redi Li showed a professional smile, “Upon receiving Miss Viola’s request, we immediately contacted all the consortia around the Emerald Sea. Let Miss Viola use it first, and when a better special item is found, it will be delivered to the Island Lord’s Mansion.”

The consortium also feels this special item isn’t very good.

“Alright!” Wu Heng nodded.

Viola followed up with thanks, “Thank you, Miss Redi Li.”

“It’s my honor to provide a satisfactory special item for Miss Viola.” Redi Li was equally courteous.

Not to mention Viola joining Gold and Silver Island.

But judging from the current situation, Viola, a former fugitive, is destined to become a hero.

Establishing the relationship in advance is beneficial for her.

The discussion about the special item concluded.

Redi Li continued, “Leader, this time I brought the recent sales report as well as the news from the consortium headquarters.”

Saying this, she took out a list from the space ring.

Wu Heng took it and handed it to Mini, who was standing behind, “Let Shanaela take a look.”

“Yes, Master.” Mini took it and turned to leave.

Looking back at Redi Li, he asked, “What news do you have from the consortium?”

Redi Li said, “The consortium wants to order cards of the same quality from Gold and Silver Island. The price is negotiable.”

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow; this matter was not unexpected.

The association mentioned it before, and now it’s the consortium’s turn.

“I’m sorry!” Wu Heng said apologetically, and then continued, “A few days ago, the association made the same request, and I have already declined, so I can’t agree to the consortium either.”

The room fell silent.

Redi Li tried to say, “Perhaps… there’s a way to be flexible? Like secret cooperation.”

“The association’s current status is not so easy to bypass,” Wu Heng continued, “After all, I’m a hero of the association; I have to consider their reaction.”

Redi Li didn’t say more, nodding, “I understand. I’ll inform the headquarters of your difficulties accurately.”

Wu Heng smiled and nodded, then said, “You too, work hard. When you reach Level 18, if the consortium doesn’t help you, Gold and Silver Island will.”

Redi Li’s eyes lit up instantly, “Really? Master, I will remember this, and you can’t go back on your word then.”

“But, then you’ll have to leave the consortium,” Wu Heng said with a smile.

Redi Li glanced at Viola beside her and said in a low voice, “As you said, I want to join Gold and Silver Island now.”

“You’re welcome anytime.”

“Better wait until I reach Level 18; that way, I can handle some things for you to the best of my ability,” Redi Li replied very cleverly.

“That works too!” Wu Heng continued, “I’ll write some materials; when you go back, help me fill the commission directly.”

“Okay.”

Wu Heng took out a pen and paper and listed several materials for conducting a ritual for the ghost, to grant additional abilities to the Lady later.

Redi Li looked at it and then stored it in the space ring.

The two sat in the living room chatting for a while. It wasn’t long before Mini returned with the list, confirming there were no issues.

After chatting for a bit, Redi Li got up and left.

…

Dusk.

The evening light penetrated through the window gauze, casting mottled shadows on the floor.

After dinner, Wu Heng immediately returned to the study, asking the Lady, “Lady, have you finished writing the cultivation technique?”

“Yes, I have!” The Lady flicked a finger, and the written cultivation technique floated into Wu Heng’s hand.

Wu Heng held it and opened the first page, handwritten with the words “Body Refining Technique.”

Not even a more imposing name, just these three words.

Glenda, Xiao Xiao, and Bella were also flying behind him, looking at the contents of the book together.

After all, they had been waiting for so long, and everyone was a bit curious.

The originally messy and scribbled content had been reorganized; the writing was clear, and there wasn’t as much content as expected.

Wu Heng began to read carefully, and the cultivation technique was still divided into three stages.

The first stage is Mystic Bird Bathing in Fire.

Draw a mystic bird pattern on your body, let the fire spirit enter your body, and temper the mortal body.

Then there are lengthy cultivation methods and precautions to follow.

Wu Heng quickly scanned it. Reading it for the first time, he wanted to see if normal reading could directly unlock the skill.

Upon completing the first stage, the effect would make the body feel like a hot iron, capable of resisting spear and axe blows.

The second stage, Cauldron Forging Bones.

With the King’s Witch Copper, forge the bones as weapons.

Once this stage is achieved, the bones become like steel, and even broken bones can regenerate quickly.

It seemed that the initial development of this cultivation technique wasn’t designed for heroes.

Heroes can restore their bodies upon death, so bone regeneration doesn’t require special cultivation.

But strengthening the bones certainly has its benefits.

The third stage, Heavenly Destiny Body.

Set up an array, use heavenly thunder for body refining, forge the golden body with thunder fire.

The flesh becomes indestructible, immune to evil.

Resurrected in fire.

“Immune to evil spirits!” Xiao Xiao understood the last few words, “What are evil spirits?”

The Lady turned and looked over, “What do you think they are?”

“Are they ghosts? Uncle is a Necromancer, he’s not afraid of these,” Xiao Xiao said.

Glenda said, “It feels like it’s defending against us.”

“Huh? Are we the evil spirits? Oh yes, it’s defending against us,” Xiao Xiao realized.

Wu Heng ignored the ghosts that started chatting and focused on finishing the last page, completing the entire cultivation technique.

Sitting in the chair, he tilted his head back and waited for a while.

The system prompt still didn’t appear.

The skill wasn’t unlocked!

This situation occurred before when learning the [Mansion Skill]. At that time, it was because my level wasn’t high enough, so even after reading it, it didn’t unlock immediately.

But that definitely wasn’t the reason now; being a hero, I’m certainly qualified to learn this skill.

Looking up again, “Lady, are you sure there’s no mistake in the writing?”

“I practiced it personally back then, and I’ve checked it several times,” the Lady also leaned over, “What’s wrong with it?”

The tone didn’t sound very confident.

Wu Heng couldn’t easily explain what was wrong here.

He couldn’t just say that the system panel didn’t unlock the skill.

Even if said, it’s hard to explain the system panel thing.

“I just didn’t understand it!”

“I will teach you how to practice it,” the Lady flew over, hovering by his shoulder, and said, “Prepare the materials listed, and I will teach you the first stage tomorrow.”

It looks like actual cultivation is needed.

“Okay, tomorrow I’ll have people prepare,” Wu Heng continued to ask, “Can others practice this too?”

“Anyone can practice it, and it doesn’t restrict by race. That’s also a feature of this Body Refining Technique.”
