Chapter 8: Refinement

This is indeed the primordial spirit of a small demon that has been reborn, having only just found a physical body and furnace a few days ago, only to be killed again by Zhang Meng, demonstrating an utterly unfortunate turn of events

Having finished all this, Zhang Meng had no time to consider what to do with the corpse of the giant snake. Taking advantage of the dim light before dawn, he hurriedly climbed over the wall and ran out of the school. After hiding and dodging for half a day, he finally returned home.

Tomorrow is Friday again, and every week on this day, it is the time for all senior students to report their progress on their graduation projects to their advisors

Snake gall is a valuable substance, especially from this large snake, which has already attained a century of cultivation. It can assist cultivators in stabilizing their primordial spirit and can also be used to make medicinal wine, making it an exceptionally rare and excellent product

Every time he encounters such a situation, Zhang Meng will avoid it for a moment and then use softness to overcome rigidity

Zhang Meng is now very confident, confident that he can open the Jiquan acupoint

Refining the cultivation of others for one's own use is a method favored by evil and heretical practitioners, as it significantly aids in the advancement of one's own cultivation. Righteous cultivators have always looked down upon such practices.

Moreover, this time it did not even escape its primordial spirit and was captured by Zhang Meng

The clang echoed... The fine steel longsword in Zhang Meng's hand could not withstand the dominance of the Void Sword Intent, shattering into countless fragments that scattered on the ground

Arriving beside the shattered body of the great serpent, Zhang Meng searched for a long time before finally locating the serpent's gallbladder

I have made a profit, truly made a profit. How wonderful it would be if such opportunities arose every time in the future

This time, having only lost a fine steel longsword, yet reaping such significant rewards, is truly a tremendous gain

Where are you running! Zhang Mengqiang gathered his spirits, having expended so much effort, all for this ray of light. If it were to escape, all his previous efforts would be in vain

That evening, Zhang Meng once again began to attack the Jiquan acupoint, just as he had before; the Jiquan acupoint was still obstructing the flow of vital energy.

Sitting cross-legged on the balcony, Zhang Meng first turned his attention inward to his dantian. The originally pure primordial energy now contained a trace of obscure and cold impurities, which were the chilling powers acquired from the cultivation of the minor demon. These impurities must be eliminated.

The cultivation methods of the little demon and the absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth are different from one's own. If not refined properly, it is likely to lead to significant trouble in the future

The giant snake, which is struggling painfully with the picture book, realizes the crisis, but it is already too late to escape

It was only when the blood splattered onto his face that Zhang Meng finally realized what was happening

At the dantian, the primordial energy has significantly increased, thanks to that little demon, and the snake gallbladder has further helped to stabilize the results of my cultivation during this period

After expending considerable effort, Zhang Meng finally managed to completely eliminate the cold,阴气 from his dantian

Understood, although it is merely his own inference, Zhang Meng feels that he has comprehended it

The sky was still bright, and Zhang Meng quickly sat down cross-legged, spreading his hands flat to press the light into his palms, beginning the process of refinement

The speed at which the light escaped was quite fast, yet it was still caught in Zhang Meng's hand. Under the enveloping force of the elemental energy, that beam of light trembled incessantly, struggling relentlessly.

For a whole half of the night, Zhang Meng managed to roughly absorb the little demon's primordial spirit.

The stainless steel longsword draws a graceful arc, embodying the first stance of the Heavenly Dao Sword Technique, the ultimate of Taiji.

He now needs time to refine the little demon's primordial spirit. Although he has already absorbed it, it is still far from sufficient

Looking up at the sky, it was already dark. My stomach was growling, feeling quite hungry. I first went to the bathroom to take a shower, then Zhang Meng quickly got dressed and ran out to have a meal

Opening his eyes, Zhang Meng smiled broadly

Uncertain of where the strength came from, Zhang Meng's remaining primordial energy surged forth, as if the ground beneath his feet had given rise to a wind, propelling him forward with great speed

However, today he was deep in thought

Be domineering, be imposing; kill anyone who stands in your way, and slay any Buddha that blocks your path! There must be no retreat, no hesitation whatsoever

An unstable foundation is a common issue faced by many cultivators. They often experience significant increases in strength due to various opportunities. Although this growth may seem beneficial in the short term, if the foundation is unstable, the higher the cultivation level, the greater the trouble.

Recalling the scene when I first unleashed the Heavenly Dao Sword Technique, how domineering and unrestrained it was

The sky was filled with shadows of swords, and the pine needles fell rustling down. The pine trees, nurtured for many years, creaked and began to topple down.

Although he gained nothing in cultivating the Taixu Sword Intent, two months of energy gathering allowed Zhang Meng to mobilize the vital energy within his body for combat

Zhang Meng is unconcerned with these matters; he only knows that the power of this little demon's primordial spirit is of great significance to his current self

Burning the boats, here at hetushucom.com, a decisive victory!

Is this broken? Zhang Meng looked at the hilt of his sword and couldn't help but smile wryly. It seems I have to buy another one.

At this moment, a beam of light shot out from a part of the serpent's body, as if it were swaying in confusion for a moment. Upon seeing Zhang Meng, it fled in panic.

The sword shadows enveloping a radius of ten zhang were utterly unavoidable. Blood splattered everywhere, and as Zhang Meng sheathed his sword, a rain of flesh and entrails descended from the sky.

It is fundamentally impossible to hold back; with Zhang Meng's current strength, once Taiji Wujin is unleashed, there will be no follow-up, and he can only exert all his effort to complete it

Originally, Zhang Meng only intended to severely injure the Great Serpent and then wait for the opportunity to deliver the final blow. However, to Zhang Meng's surprise, the Great Serpent was killed in one strike under the sword technique of Taiji Wujin.

However, Zhang Meng also knows that such greed should not exist

Since being discharged from the hospital, Zhang Meng has not encountered any graduation project at all. Fortunately, the advisor is a good person and has never said anything negative about Zhang Meng.

A wave of weakness surged from his heart, and Zhang Meng's steps became somewhat unsteady. It was still too much to bear; after only two months of energy cultivation, he was forcing himself to perform the Taiji Wujin, which he could not control freely at all.

This time has truly been a strenuous effort. Relying on the physical form of the Great Harmony Library's serpent, along with the experience of the minor demon, if one were to engage in a direct confrontation, the odds of victory would be virtually nonexistent. However, with the assistance of black dog blood and sulfur powder, it is indeed possible to achieve a decisive kill, which is somewhat beyond Zhang Meng's expectations

Taking a deep breath, I summoned all the vital energy within my body and charged fiercely towards the Yongquan acupoint.

Zhang Meng possesses extensive experience and knowledge, and naturally understands the importance of laying a solid foundation in the early stages. After refining this century-old snake gall, its integration with his own primordial energy significantly aided him, directly offsetting the drawbacks of absorbing and refining the spirit power of that minor demon.

A martial art can reveal clues from its external manifestations. The Sword Intent of the Void and the Sword Momentum of the Heavenly Path complement each other; the Sword Momentum of the Heavenly Path is the external manifestation of the Sword Intent of the Void

However, Zhang Meng also understands that it is better to refrain from such unjust acts as much as possible. Engaging in them occasionally is not a problem, but if done excessively, it will greatly hinder his future cultivation.

I am now Zhang Meng, and it is inevitable that I will be entangled with some mundane matters. This is unavoidable; if my strength were sufficient, I would not wish to remain here, but would have long sought a place to retreat and cultivate.

Zhang Meng swallowed the snake gall he had taken, closing his eyes
