From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a high-level martial arts demon god!

Chapter 144 Harvest
"Oh!"

A long black staff plunged straight into the ground, its blood soaking the already rust-colored ground, which was stained red by the crimson mist.

Mengzha's pupils dilated, and then he lost consciousness completely.

Jiang Heng reached out and pulled out the black staff, and the herbal Dao patterns on his body gradually faded away.

"This red fog environment is truly a unique advantage for me."

"If we stay at the bottom of the valley, with the continuous flow of red mist, I'm afraid even a martial artist at the early stage of the seventh level of physical strength might not be able to touch it."

Jiang Heng sighed inwardly, then squatted down and took the black jade gourd off Meng Zha's body.

Then they turned his body over.

At this moment, on Mengzha's chest, which was covered with red veins, there was still a faint life force beating near his heart.

Jiang Heng reached out, his palm like a blade, and sliced ​​open Meng Zha's chest, taking out the natal Gu from his heart.

He stuffed the dying Gu worm into the black jade gourd.

Then he took out a precious pestle from his body, about the thickness of a forearm bone, with a semi-transparent sphere at the top, like a crystal.

When they first met, Mengzha was holding this precious pestle in his hand, probably using it to find his location.

Jiang Heng put the item away, then turned back into the rift valley and found the bodies of Daxin and Pengxili.

They removed their respective black jade gourds and natal Gu from their bodies, and then headed north towards Nanjiang City.

The black jade gourd is the symbol of identity for a level six martial artist of the Thousand Gu Alliance. Having it is enough to prove that one has killed these level six martial artists of the Thousand Gu Alliance.

Contribution points can be exchanged in the Wu'an Hall's shop.

A moment later, Jiang Heng passed through the red mist area and headed towards the nearest Xiting Mountain camp.

……

Due to the spread of the red fog, many important outposts on the border of Tianfu were shrouded in the red fog, forcing these outposts to be abandoned.

The Xitingshan outpost, originally located in the central region, became a bridgehead on the border.

In just over ten hours, the entire Xiting Mountain campsite had doubled in size.

"Who is this person? Please stop levitation immediately!"

A sharp, piercing alarm sounded at Xiting Mountain, and several drones blocked his way.

Jiang Heng raised an eyebrow slightly, then paused in mid-air before landing on the ground.

"I am Jiang Heng, deputy battalion commander of the Third Special Operations Battalion of the Chixiao Division."

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end paused slightly.

Jiang Heng's feat of killing a level 6 physical body cultivator while only at the level 5 physical body realm has already spread throughout the entire Nanjiang City.

The soldiers in the army had naturally heard about it.

The soldiers from the surveillance department compared Jiang Heng's face with his features:

"Okay, please wait a moment, Battalion Commander Jiang. We are contacting Battalion Commander Du of the Third Special Operations Battalion."

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, then stood still and waited.

It's perfectly normal for them to be so cautious; even if they look very similar, there's still a possibility that someone might be impersonating another person.

Two minutes later, Du Liyan, Zhao De'an, and several other Level 6 martial artists from the Third Special Operations Battalion rushed out of the Xiting Mountain camp.

Zhao De'an exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang Heng, you're still alive?"

Du Liyan carefully examined Jiang Heng's face, and after confirming that there was no problem, he was about to speak.

Suddenly, she noticed the several black jade gourds hanging from Jiang Heng's waist.

He was slightly taken aback: "What's this...?"

Jiang Heng explained, "I stayed in that rift valley for a while and encountered several level six martial artists."

Did they encounter several level six martial artists, so they killed them all?
The other deputy battalion commanders also noticed the black jade gourds at Jiang Heng's waist and looked astonished.

Jiang Heng didn't care about their opinions and said, "Battalion Commander, these black jade gourds contain the natal Gu worms of the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang family bloodline."

"These Gu worms are extremely valuable, and only the Qingming Division in Tianfu Province can preserve them."

"So I want to go back to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, first."

Du Liyan immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll arrange a plane for you to go back right away."

Even a level six martial artist can't match the speed of a military fighter jet.

Therefore, taking a fighter jet is the fastest way back to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province.

Du Liyan and the others immediately welcomed Jiang Heng back to the camp.

About fifteen minutes later, after Jiang Heng finished registering his situation in the Red Fog area, he boarded a fighter jet and left the Xiting Mountain camp, returning to the capital of Tianfu Province.

……

Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, has a helipad on the 10th Ring Road.

As soon as Jiang Heng got off the plane, he went straight to the headquarters of the Wu'an Hall and arrived at the Qingming Division.
He handed over the several black jade gourds in his hands, as well as the black stone he obtained from the Red Mist Rift, to the Qingming Tribe for research.

Please ask the Azure Netherworld Department to help him peel off the divine power patterns from the bodies of the natal Gu worms in these black jade gourds and fill them with blank Dao seeds to form complete divine power seeds.

The supernatural power patterns contained within these natal Gu are at least at the second level.

Meng Zha then activated the supernatural power of his natal Gu, which greatly enhanced his physical body, five senses, and Qi in a short period of time.

This supernatural power is probably already at the level of a third-tier supernatural power!

Even in the Wu'an Hall's contribution value shop, third-level supernatural powers are extremely rare.

Furthermore, there isn't a single third-level divine ability that focuses on body refinement.

If the Qingming tribe could extract the Dao patterns of this Zhangyundong divine power into a blank Dao seed, then he might be able to directly obtain this divine power!
As for the mysterious black stone that flew out of the rift valley, the Azure Nether Tribe is still unable to ascertain its origin and is currently investigating it...

After leaving the Qingming Division, Jiang Heng stopped by the canteen and ordered high-energy food for more than a dozen people.

He had been fighting a series of battles these past few days and hadn't eaten anything. His stomach was completely empty, and he desperately needed to fill it up.

……

The next morning.

After resting for a whole day, Jiang Heng returned to the Qingming Department laboratory.

In a spacious and bright laboratory.

Several researchers looked at Jiang Heng with curiosity. They all knew that the tall man in front of them was a genius that was rare in Tianfu.

A nineteen-year-old martial artist at the sixth level of physical strength will surely be able to set foot in Australia and become a true top expert in the future...

Yun Li, the deputy minister of the Azure Netherworld Department, stood up from the test bench and turned to look at Jiang Heng.

Several months have passed, and the name tag around her neck has changed from "Acting Deputy Minister" to "Deputy Minister".

Yun Li glanced at Jiang Heng. She really hadn't expected that this young man from Nanjiang, who had only arrived at the Wu'an Hall a few months ago, would have reached such a level of strength in such a short time.

She regained her composure and said, "What you asked for has been prepared: four divine power seeds from the natal Gu of the Thirteen Caves of Southern Xinjiang."

"However, blank Dao Seeds also have a fee. Each Dao Seed costs one hundred contribution points, which you will need to pay yourself."

Jiang Heng nodded to show his understanding.

Yun Li then thought of something and turned to a sealed box at the back of the laboratory.

He picked up the sealed box and handed it to Jiang Heng, saying, "Inside is that black round stone..."

At this point, Yun Li paused slightly, her expression somewhat puzzling:
"This thing isn't some kind of treasure, but rather an aggregate of corrupted energy..."

Jiang Heng was slightly taken aback: "An aggregate of impure energy?" What does that mean?
Yun Li said, "The energy essence vein is not entirely pure energy; it also contains a lot of impurities. This black stone is an aggregate of impurities deposited in the energy essence vein."

Her gaze toward Jiang Heng held a hint of sympathy.

In the past two days, other Tianfu martial artists have also discovered many treasures in the torrents that appeared in the rift valley.

Most of them are mutated medicinal herbs and ores, which are quite valuable under the nurturing of energy essence mineral veins.

But Jiang Heng, who had stayed in the rift valley for so long, only found a piece of useless energy filth.

This is truly the worst luck imaginable...

Jiang Heng took the sealed box, looked down thoughtfully at the alloy box in his hand.

"It shouldn't be completely useless, right?"

Yun Li was slightly taken aback.

Jiang Heng continued, "A high concentration of energy can even damage the physical body of a level six martial artist."

"If this kind of energy pollution were used as a poison, wouldn't it be more likely to cause damage to the physical body of a level six martial artist?"

Yun Li was somewhat taken aback. She thought for a moment, then said:

"That's true, but this stuff only becomes poisonous when ingested. How are you going to get the enemy to eat it...?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It's nothing, I was just saying it casually."

"By the way, Minister Yun, could you give me those four divine power seeds from Zhangyun Cave first?"

"I killed several level six martial artists from Zhangyun Cave this time, but the contribution points haven't been distributed yet."

"Once it's issued, the 400 contribution points will be deducted from my account."

Yun Li thought about it and realized that this was against the rules, and normally she couldn't agree to it.

but……

She looked up at Jiang Heng.

After all, he is the youngest level six martial artist in Tianfu in a hundred years. If he doesn't die, he will definitely become a top martial artist with a physical body level of eight or above in the future.

It wouldn't hurt to give him some face.

Thinking of this, Yun Li said, "Okay."

After saying that, she turned around and went to another experimental table, handing another alloy sealed box to Jiang Heng.

"Besides those few natal Gu, I've also extracted the Gu poison you wanted from the other Gu worms in the black jade gourd."

Yun Li looked at Jiang Heng and spoke.

Jiang Heng nodded and took the sealed box: "Then, Minister Yun, I won't bother you any longer."

"Well, you go."

Jiang Heng then took his leave, departed from the Qingming Department laboratory, and returned to his residence in the Chixiao Department's Special Operations Battalion 3.

……

In the bedroom.

A sense of anticipation arose in Jiang Heng's heart.

If he could successfully cultivate the third-level divine power of Zhangyun Cave, it would definitely increase his strength by a significant margin.

As for that black stone... the so-called aggregate of corrupted energy, it is useless waste to others.

No matter how potent the poison, you can't possibly let the enemy eat it.

But for Jiang Heng, who suffers from disease and erosion, it is a truly valuable thing.

"I just don't know how effective this will be compared to the red mist at the bottom of the rift..."

Jiang Heng left the bottom of the rift valley because there was no energy to replenish his energy and no food available there.

On the other hand, after he broke through to the late stage of level six, the speed at which he continued to cultivate at the bottom of the valley also slowed down considerably.

It seems unlikely that further advancement will be possible in the short term; the only way forward is to break through the layer of black rock at the bottom of the valley.

Only by obtaining the energy liquid beneath the rock can further advancement be possible.

Jiang Heng regained his composure and then first opened the alloy sealed box containing the four Divine Path Seeds.

At this moment, the Dao patterns inside the natal Gu of several core bloodlines of the Wenda family, such as Chayapeng and Mengzha, have been filled into these blank Dao seeds.

The divine seed, the size of a soybean, emitted a dull, dark red light within the sealed box.

It was cold, gloomy, and tinged with a faint murderous intent, as if it contained some kind of evil aura.

If an ordinary martial artist were to witness this scene, they would likely worry about whether consuming such a divine seed would cause any side effects.

Jiang Heng, however, did not care at all. If there were any side effects, he could use [Disease Corrosion] to transform them into his own strength.

He grabbed one of the Dao Seeds and stuffed it into his mouth.

The seed of Dao melted upon entering his mouth, turning into a wisp of black smoke that merged into Jiang Heng's body and flesh.

Then it quickly condensed into a brown divine power pattern in my mind.

The information from this divine power pattern was also transmitted to Jiang Heng's mind.

Miasma and fog.

This is a second-tier area-of-effect divine power that condenses a misty barrier within a radius of one mile.

Within this misty realm, cultivators experience a dramatic increase in speed, aura, and power.

This supernatural power should be the innate supernatural power of either Daxin, whom he killed at the beginning, or Pengxili.

"Try..."

A thought struck Jiang Heng, and he immediately activated the slightly sinister Dao pattern in his mind.

Then, the internal organ furnace began to operate, and the qi condensed into Dao patterns, which surged out of the body and condensed into a layer of gray-white mist around it.

The fog was very light and covered a very small area, barely enveloping the entire bedroom.

This is probably because the skill level is still low since the user has just acquired this supernatural ability.

But being there, Jiang Heng felt a sense of warmth and comfort.

As if a fish had entered the water, his movements became more fluid, and even the speed of his internal energy circulation was slightly improved.

"good……"

Jiang Heng's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the panel.

[Supernatural Ability: ...Miasma - Illusionary Realm (Proficiency 0.1%)]
"If this supernatural power is brought to perfection, the mist realm it unleashes will likely cover an area of ​​several miles."

Jiang Heng pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and reached into the alloy sealed box to pick up the second Divine Path Seed.

Put it in your mouth.

The Dao Seed immediately transformed into a wisp of smoke, merging into the body's flesh and blood, and then coalesced in the mind to form a new divine Dao pattern.

The solemn and dignified atmosphere was tinged with a cold and sinister undertone.

As soon as this Dao pattern appeared, it immediately pushed the Dao pattern of [Miasma Clouds and Fog Realm] aside.

It occupies a position near [Calamity Fire - Blood Curse Body].

Jiang Heng then received information about this supernatural ability, and his eyes lit up slightly.

Miasma Cloud·Gu King Body.

It was the same third-level divine power that Mengzha had used before his death!
