From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 137 Dark Power Perfection
Time passed slowly, about an hour and a half later.

The sky outside the window had darkened and the light was setting towards the west.

In Qiao Shan’s mansion, maids hung vermilion lanterns on the corners and eaves, lighting up the entire mansion.

In the house.

While Jiang Chen was practicing, the medicinal effects of the Linglu Pill were gradually exhausted.

[Casting: Great Success (231/1000)]

In more than an hour, the Linglu Pill brought him a total of 178 experience points.

It saved him more than ten days.

not bad.

The higher you go in tempering the five internal organs, the more difficult it becomes.

If the breakthrough is made from Iron Bones to Casting Organs, Linglu Pill should be able to exert a greater effect.

But what is being tempered right now is the heart, and it would be good enough to have more than a hundred experience points.

This should also be attributed to the fact that the panel can help Jiang Chen completely absorb the medicinal properties of the elixir.

Jiang Chen opened the panel and looked at it carefully.

The acting skills I acquired half a year ago have been perfected over time and used frequently in daily life.

【Acting: Perfect】

But Jiang Chen no longer needs to be humble and rely on his acting skills to survive.

[Pharmaceuticals] As prescriptions became increasingly difficult to find, people simply took ready-made medicines. Now they are somewhat abandoned and are still at the second level.

【Qi Refining】 is still at the third level.

After reaching the third stage of Qi Refining, the "Nine-Rank Lotus Light" no longer seemed to be very powerful.

Even if you sleep two or three hours a day through the "Great Dream Heart Sutra", the experience points you gain are pitifully small.

If he wants to continue to improve, he can only hope that the people from the "White Lotus Sect" will jump out and give him some gold coins...

The members of the White Lotus Sect are spread throughout the entire Jiulongzhou.

The two Qi Refiners should have passed through Yanyang City on their way, and most likely were heading to the vicinity of Longxiang County City.

The entire Longxiang County City, the seven acropolises, and the gathering areas for thousands of miles outside the city are a mixed bag of good and bad people.

There are so many places that the city guards cannot control, and there might be a White Lotus Cult's hideout...

Jiang Chen lowered his gaze to the last row.

[Dark Power: Great Mastery (850/1000)]

A large amount of medicinal materials were stolen from the medicine fields of Liuguang Sect in the outer city.

Before heading to Longxiang County City, Jiang Chen used these medicinal herbs to make more than a dozen bottles of "Jade Marrow Tendon-Growing Liquid" and brought them along.

There are still a lot of them in the package right now.

However, after reaching the peak of Dark Power, the effect of "Jade Marrow Tendon-Growing Liquid" became much weaker and progress was slow.

Fortunately, it was later discovered that the Qi and blood power of the Demon Yuan Stone could also prolong the efficiency of practicing Dark Power, so the improvement speed was accelerated.

Afterwards, [Qi Refining] was upgraded to the third level, and the "health preservation" method obtained through spiritual energy practice also made considerable improvements.

It is very beneficial for warming the tendons and meridians, and also prolongs the time for practicing dark energy.

According to the current progress of experience points, he should be able to break through [Dark Power] to perfection before the Doukuei begins.

Although as Jiang Chen's cultivation level increases, he can access more and more rare treasures and various things that can increase his "extra combat power".

But these things are just one-time improvements.

There are only two things that are truly core to a warrior.

One is martial arts cultivation.

The higher the realm, the stronger the strength, this is beyond doubt.

The second is naturally martial arts.

Martial arts have always been the most fundamental means of self-defense for warriors.

The "true meaning" set up by the mysterious warrior in the ruins cave was still able to easily kill demons even after a thousand years, which was enough to show the power of martial arts.

If one neglects martial arts and only pursues improvement through external things, one day, one's strength will fall behind that of martial artists of the same level.

……

Jiang Chen casually stuffed half a penny of demon essence stone and a spoonful of jade marrow tendon-growing liquid into his mouth, then pushed open the door of the house and came to the open space at the back.

There is a pavilion at the edge of the open space. Various swords, spears, and halberds are placed on the sunken iron rack in the pavilion. It is obviously specially provided for the guests to use for cultivation.

It can be said that this is very thoughtful.

No wonder Qiao Shan can thrive in this Jinpengwei City.

The medicinal properties in his body dissipated, and Jiang Chen took advantage of the time before the sunset, when there was still a ray of afterglow in the sky, and began to practice dark energy.

……

Next.

Jiang Chen and others stayed in Qiao Shan's mansion to practice.

Qiao Shan also specially sent a doctor to treat Deacon Zhuzang who was injured in the night attack on Hongxiang Building, and his condition is now stable.

In addition to his daily practice, Jiang Chen also wandered around outside the mansion to gather information.

this time.

There was no peace in Jinpengwei City either. Fights broke out at night with terrifying force, and half a street was reduced to ruins in one go.

This was obviously the work of a master who had reached the level of refining organs or even moving blood.

When Jiang Chen was sleeping at night, he could hear the sounds of fighting several miles away.

However, the struggle among high-level forces in Jinpengwei City has nothing to do with Jiang Chen.

After the assassination in Fire Phoenix City, the warriors from hundreds of cities who came to participate in the Doukuei competition also learned more or less about the current situation of Longxiang County City.

They did not dare to stay in the inn, but sought shelter separately.

Therefore, no assassination took place afterwards.

As for the owner of Yunfeng Inn, Chen Yun's death seemed to have passed without any incident and no one cared.

Jiang Chen also roughly understood the situation of Hongxiang Building.

Hongxianglou is a restaurant on the surface, with shops in many areas of Jinpengwei City, but secretly it takes on all kinds of business.

This can be seen from the fearless attitude of the group of men in black.

The backer behind Hongxiang Tower seems to be a branch of the Zhu family in Weicheng.

The third branch of the Zhu family has a young man from an aristocratic family. He is twenty-three years old this year, with perfect cultivation of the internal organs. From childhood to adulthood, he has an endless supply of all kinds of natural treasures.

It is rumored that he has cultivated a mysterious physique with "skin as white as divine jade and indestructible like diamond". Even the six-patterned demon cannot break his skin. He has been famous in Jinpengwei City in the past two years.

This year, he did not seem to go to the main city to participate in the Doukui, but stayed in Jinpengwei City.

This should be the reason why Hongxianglou assassinated the warriors from Huofeng City.

And it’s not just the third son of the Zhu family.

It seems that many of the noble families in Jinpengwei City have children who do not intend to participate in the Doukui in the main city, but instead have their eyes on the Doukui venue in the Wei City.

Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one in the Dragon Elephant Sect in charge of the Dou Kui matter, each of them uses their connections to transfer their own places back to the Jinpengwei City.

I'm afraid this year's battle of champions will be extremely brutal.

……

More than ten days later.

There are still three days left before the Dragon Elephant Sect’s Dou Kui.

The Doukuei was a major event in Longxiang County. Not only were the warriors in the city discussing this matter, but even the main topic of discussion among ordinary people was the Doukuei.

Passing the Dou Kui test and becoming a disciple of the Dragon Elephant Sect is the desire and glory that countless people in the county city dream of, and it is a high achievement that brings honor to the family.

The main branch of the Dragon Elephant Sect also sent a true disciple of the Transcendent level to serve as the chief examiner of Jinpengwei City.

After this person arrived, the noisy night in Jinpengwei City instantly turned into dead silence.

The status and position of the main lineage's true disciple is no less than that of the elders of the Dragon Elephant Sect.

Naturally, no one dared to cause trouble under his nose anymore.

……

The storm outside was rising and falling and then calming down.

In Qiao Shan's mansion.

Jiang Chen was still practicing steadily, watching the experience points gradually increase line by line on the panel every day, his heart as firm as a rock.

[Dark Power: Great Mastery (985/1000)]

I only need fifteen experience points to break through to the perfection of dark energy.

The time for breakthrough is today.

Jiang Chen stood in the open space, silently feeling the flow of tendons in his body.

He raised his hand and threw a punch.

"Oh!"

A simple and unpretentious straight punch created a circle of white ripples visible to the naked eye in the air.

A dull sonic boom sounded in the northwest corner of the mansion.

Jiang Chen was surrounded by dragons and tigers, and a huge pressure was spreading around him. The air within a radius of several feet seemed extremely dull and almost turned into substance.

"Oh!"

Throw out another punch.

[Dark Power Experience +1]

The essence of Ming Jin is the explosion of flesh and blood, while the essence of An Jin is the vibration of tendons and veins.

Hundreds of tendons throughout the body are like bowstrings, providing tremendous power for the explosion of dark energy.

For this reason, the stronger the tendons are, the stronger the hidden energy that can be unleashed will be.

After Jiang Chen's body had undergone numerous enhancements, the strength of his tendons had already far surpassed that of the time when his tendons were in perfect condition.

Therefore, if he wants to achieve "perfection of hidden power" now, he must thoroughly tap into all the potential power in his own tendons!

……

On the panel, the experience value of dark energy has reached its limit.

Jiang Chen's clothes were gradually soaked by sweat, and blue veins appeared on the surface of his skin!
The tendons beneath the flesh and blood are vibrating at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and violent dark energy is continuously pouring out from them!

Suddenly, Jiang Chen opened his eyes!
He suddenly took a step forward with his left leg, turned his waist, swung his right arm forward, and threw a punch!
The tense whole body relaxed instantly, just like a floodgate opening!
The hidden power is like a raging flood that accumulates to the extreme in a dam, instantly transforming into a roaring raging wave and pouring out!
