Chapter 41: The Heavenly Opportunity to Advance to Grandmaster Realm
Twist your palms and apply slight force.

"Click——"

When the iron box was opened, there was an irregular jade-white bead the size of a broad bean inside.

Is this the relic?
It looks as white as jade and smooth as bone to the touch.

It looks like stone and jade, but it is neither stone nor jade.

Holding the relic in his hand, Zhang Yuan's body flashed with several streams of light.

Qi and blood are infused, but there is no feedback.

When I put in my true energy, I seemed to feel something, but there was no useful information.

Since it is a Buddhist treasure, why not try using the power of Buddha's essence?

A faint golden light enveloped the relic, and Zhang Yuan's face showed a hint of surprise and joy.

The Buddha's essence entered the relics, just like a clear stream flowing into the sea, stirring up waves.

This relic actually contains unimaginable power, but it is restrained inside and cannot be sensed by external forces.

After shattering a Buddha Yuan bead and wrapping the relic with the power of Buddha Yuan, the object actually turned into a ball of soft white light, merged into Zhang Yuan's body, fell into Dantian, and floated in the sea of ​​Dantian's true essence.

Refining!

Only the rare treasures for spiritual practice in the world can possess spirituality and be refined.

Relics are left behind by powerful Buddhists who are comparable to martial arts masters after their death. They are the crystallization of their life's cultivation and inheritance, and are also a kind of treasure for spiritual practice in the world.

However, Zhang Yuan never expected that he, a martial arts practitioner, could actually use the power of Buddha's energy to refine the relics.

The true essence in Dantian activated the power in the relic. Zhang Yuan clenched his fist slightly, and the surprise on his face could not be concealed.

The power of this relic can actually be added to the physical body and become the power of one's own physical body!

The strength limit of the physical body in the late Xiantian realm is nine oxen, or eighteen thousand pounds.

If you want to further improve your combat power, you need to strengthen your true essence and combine it with the power of the exercises.

Zhang Yuan's Shanhedong cultivation has reached perfection, which can double his combat power and he can deliver a huge force of 36,000 kilograms in one strike.

At the same level, this is already a rare strong person.

I thought this was his limit.

Unexpectedly, when this relic was refined into his dantian, the added power actually increased his physical strength by another 2,000 pounds.

He used martial arts skills at the great perfection level to attack, doubling his combat power. Each of his attacks had a force of forty thousand pounds.

This is not far from the legendary Grandmaster level of power.

It is rumored that the Grandmaster Realm is the power of a dragon and an elephant. Once you enter the Grandmaster Realm, you will have the strength of an elephant, a tremendous force of 50,000 pounds.

The first level of the Grandmaster Realm is called the Dragon Elephant Realm, also known as the Dragon Elephant Grandmaster.

From the strength of 18,000 kilograms in the late Xiantian realm, it skyrocketed to 50,000 kilograms. It can be seen how huge the gap between the Xiantian and the Grandmaster is.

It is extremely difficult to become a master in this world. The difference between the innate realm and the master realm is as huge as heaven and earth.

Feeling the change in power brought by the relic, a golden light flashed in Zhang Yuan's mind, and a chaotic light curtain rose.

【Zhang Yuan】

Identity: Zhang Yuan, the eighth-rank official in charge of Luyang Prefecture, the Black Tiger, the Black Armored Captain of the Black Ice Platform, the bounty hunter Black Tiger, the leader of the Red Fox Caravan, and Zhang Erhe, the leader of the Eighteen Villages of Qingshan.
Cultivation: Late Xiantian Realm. Upgrading requires 843 Qi and Blood Pearls, 356 Zhen Yuan Pearls, Grandmaster Tribulation, and Heavenly Opportunity (if you switch to Buddhist cultivation and become a Grandmaster, relics can be used as an opportunity).
Martial Arts Practice: Great Perfection of Mountain and River Movement, Minor Success of Iron Body Skill, Eight Qi and Blood Beads are required for upgrading, which can be transformed into Buddhist Golden Body Skill with the power of relics. The perfect level of Golden Body Skill can condense the Buddhist Golden Body

Chaos Space: 3,630 Qi and Blood Beads, 810 Perception Beads, 590 True Essence Beads, 221 Demonic Energy Beads, and 36 Buddha Essence Beads

Heaven's opportunity!

So this is called a heavenly opportunity!
It was not until this moment that Zhang Yuan realized that the opportunity from heaven was actually a treasure for cultivation.

Treasures of the level of relics are opportunities from heaven, and this heaven is really fucking real.

If Zhang Yuan is willing to switch to practicing Buddhist techniques and reach the Grandmaster level, he can use the power of the relics to induce the Grandmaster Tribulation, and then have the opportunity to overcome the tribulation and become a Buddhist Grandmaster.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan had no such plans.

There were no Grandmasters practicing Buddhist techniques in the Qin Dynasty. If he were to reach Grandmaster status through Buddhist techniques, he would likely have to cultivate in the Liangyuan Territory. Coming from a prominent Wuwei family, he would never betray the Qin Dynasty.

Although it is a pity that the relic cannot be used to its full potential to reach the Grandmaster level, it is still a pleasant surprise that it can increase the strength of an ox.

What's more, the relics can upgrade the Iron Body Skill to the Golden Body Skill, and when it is cultivated to the level of great perfection, it can condense the Golden Body of Buddhism.

It may take outsiders sixty or even a hundred years to perfect a martial art, but Zhang Yuan doesn't need that at all.

Inside the tent, Zhang Yuan's expression gradually turned calm, and his Qi, blood and true essence flowed slowly.

Now that we know that the opportunity from heaven is the treasure for cultivation, then we should look for the treasure related to the realm of martial arts grandmaster.

--------------

Two days later, Sergeant Qian Mu and Yong'an County Lieutenant Xu Xianzhong returned with the armed guards who had been patrolling the Guangji River.

This time, they cleared out several bandit strongholds on both sides of the river, more than a hundred miles upstream and downstream, captured and killed more than 30 bandits, destroyed three water strongholds, and seized property worth more than 300 taels of silver.

Combined with the previous gains, this time can be considered a fruitful one.

Zhang Yuan's registered military merit was four headshots, which ranked first in this mission. Following him was Qi Junliang, who had three merits.

Chen Wu and Huang Sanliang also achieved three merits, and even Feng Cheng achieved two merits.

In large-scale combat, in addition to individual achievements such as being the first to reach the target and making a decisive kill, many merits are evenly distributed among the team.

As the team leader, Zhang Yuan actually shared some of the credit for the kills with his own team of warriors.

This method of calculating merit can make subordinates more loyal.

This is a true brotherhood of life and death, where all the merits earned at the cost of their lives can be shared.

Of course, if the leading general does not take action, he will also get a share of the military merits achieved by the team.

There are quite a few people in the army who just want to gain military merits.

On the way back, several new recruits were already delighted and were loudly discussing what to do with their military rewards.

The Qin Dynasty valued military merit, and the rule of exchanging one merit for five taels of silver remained unchanged for countless years.

Five taels of silver is equivalent to three months' salary for a ninth-rank guard, or one year's expenses for an ordinary family.

Not only can it be exchanged for silver and money, accumulating military merit is also a hard condition for promotion.

There are nine skills and one level, and three turns in one level.

To be promoted from the ninth rank to the eighth rank, one needs to accumulate nine merits.

When one is promoted from the eighth rank to the seventh rank, one needs three turns of merit, which is three nine merits.

It is impossible for most eighth-rank guards to accumulate three ninth-level skills.

Promotions in government offices are not solely based on beheadings, but also include various other ways of recording merits such as missions, garrisons, years of service, etc.

For example, in the Yong'an County bandit suppression this time, even the guards who did not have the military merit of beheading people could still get half the merit, but this merit was only useful for promotion and could not be exchanged for silver.

On the return journey, Qi Junliang, Zhang Yuan, and Sergeant Qian Mu all rode on war horses, marching side by side for a rare occasion.

The main reason was that the mission was completed well this time, and the sergeant was in a good mood and willing to ride on horseback with Zhang Yuan and the others.

"In recent years, the Wuwei Yamen has rarely had such opportunities to hone its skills."

Riding on his horse, looking at the soldiers in front of him, Qi Junliang spoke in a low voice.

The military achievements and mission completion this time were certainly commendable, but from intercepting the bandits on the river bank to the bandits' night attack, and then to the subsequent bandit suppression on the river, the Wuwei Yamen suffered heavy casualties.

Three people were killed, four were seriously injured, and more than a dozen were slightly injured.

This is when the military armor is fully equipped.

If they were not wearing armor and forming a battle formation, the soldiers of the Wuwei Yamen would not only have no advantage against the martial artists of the same number, but they might even be defeated.

"There are too many new recruits, and their combat effectiveness needs to be improved." Zhang Yuan nodded and looked at the soldiers whose morale was much higher after this battle.

"Erhe, the Wuwei Yamen is going to expand again soon. If it reaches 500 soldiers, we will need to appoint more captains and colonels. You can't refuse again this time." The sergeant's voice sounded, making Zhang Yuan and Qi Junliang turn their heads.

"I'll be transferred elsewhere soon," the sergeant said in a low voice, looking at Zhang Yuan. "There's not much I can do to help you."
