Ch 5- Peak of the Body Tempering Realm!

Yang Li was taken aback and looked towards the source of the voice.

He saw a familiar figure.

Chen Mo, the one who had fallen hard from the top position of the outer sect.

Yang Li sneered, "Chen Mo, you're just in time! I was just thinking..."

Chen Mo quickly said, "I discovered a dying second-rank demon beast behind a cafe I think there was also some treasures! We can split the spoils from killing it, ninety-ten, you get ninety, how about it?"

Yang Li was stunned.

Demon beasts were simply categorized into ranks, such as first-rank, second-rank, third-rank, and so on.

Treasures are also rare because there was pills which was also helpful for qi refining an foundation building cultivators.

A first-rank demon beast was equivalent to a Body Tempering Realm cultivator.

A second-rank demon beast was equivalent to a Qi Condensation Realm cultivator.

Treasures pill body tempering pill, body protection pill and so on.

And so it continued in this manner.

Demon beasts were treasures all over.

Their fur could be made into clothing, their flesh could be eaten, their bones could be crafted into weapons.

Importantly, a second-rank demon beast might have a demon crystal in its body.

Qi Condensation Realm cultivators could absorb demon crystals to quickly enhance their cultivation.

A thumb-sized demon crystal could sell for at least fifty lower-grade spirit stones!

Yang Li immediately set aside his anger.

What was a woman compared to a demon crystal?

He quickly asked, "Where is the dying demon beast and the treasure cave? Take me there!"

Chen Mo nodded, "Follow me."

He walked ahead, leading Yang Li to a nearby grove.

Yang Li watched his back with a sinister look in his eyes.

A second-rank demon beast, even without a demon crystal, would still be worth fifty lower-grade spirit stones if sold completely.

Chen Mo had proposed a ninety-ten split.

But even with a ninety-ten split, Yang Li felt he was losing out.

He wanted it all.

And here, far from the Celestial sword Sect's mountain gate, even if he did something against the sect rules, no one would know.

If Chen Mo, who had no background, disappeared, no one would notice.

As for whether he could kill Chen Mo.

That wasn't even a question.

He was at the major achievement of the Body Tempering Realm, with enhanced skin, muscles, and bones.

But Chen Mo was just at the entry level of the Body Tempering Realm.

Even if he stood still and let Chen Mo attack, Shen Mo wouldn't break his defense.

But one punch from him would gravely injure Chen Mo!

His overwhelming superiority in cultivation gave him confidence!

At this moment, Chen Mo pointed to the front where a dying demon beast lay, "Look, it's right there."

"You deal with it head-on, and I'll support from the side."

Saying this, he drew his sword from his waist.

Yang Li was overjoyed and immediately walked over.

His entire focus was on the demon beast.

Unaware, behind him, Chen Mo's gaze was fixed on his back.

Now, Chen Mo and Yang Li were only half a meter apart.

Yang Li's back was completely turned to him.

Chen Mo had deliberately set up this situation to expose Yang Li's vital points completely!

Thunder Shadow Sword Technique!

Chen Mo's sword suddenly thrust forward.

Like a gust of wind and thunder.

Like a striking serpent.

Without any warning, it precisely pierced Yang Li's back!

Pfft!

Blood splattered.

The intense pain made Yang Li suddenly realize that Chen Mo had attacked him!

But by the time he realized it, it was too late.

Strength seemed to flow out of his body like water.

He barely turned around, only to see Chen Mo coldly looking down at him.

Yang Li, terrified, said, "You're not at the entry level of the Body Tempering Realm!"

The entry level of the Body Tempering Realm could never break through his defense.

The only answer was that Chen Mo, like him, was also at the major achievement of the Body Tempering Realm.

But wasn't this person supposed to have his foundation destroyed?

How could he still cultivate?

Chen Mo looked down at him, "You must really want to know the answer."

Yang Li nodded weakly, "Considering I'm... dying, tell... me."

Chen Mo withdrew his sword and directly pierced his throat, sneering, "Why should I let you die in peace?"

Yang Li's eyes bulged like a goldfish.

He feels like his body has no power but he finally attacked Chen Mo but his attack was so slow because Yang Li heavely heavely injured by Chen Mo.

To his death, he could not understand how Chen Mo could repair his foundation and reach the major achievement of the Body Tempering Realm in such a short time.

Chen Mo's expression remained indifferent.

Fighting Yang Li head-on, he had a seventy to eighty percent chance of killing him.

But there was still a ten to twenty percent chance that he might escape.

So, to ensure a hundred percent kill, he set up this trap.

The so-called dying second-rank demon beast was just a large first-rank demon beast he found along the way, severely injured and for treasure cave was placed here as bait.

Chen Mo bent down and searched Yang Li's corpse.

He only found more than twenty lower-grade spirit stones.

But that was normal.

Who goes out for a tryst carrying all their wealth?

Afterward, Chen Mo went to the giant tree.

The tree looked normal, but when he pierced it with his sword, he found it hollow inside.

After digging out a large hole, Chen Mo saw a blood-colored lingzhi inside.

"Indeed, it's Blood Kingship."

Chen Mo carefully took it out, wrapped it in a clean cloth, and put it in his chest.

As for Yang Li's body, he slashed it a dozen times with his sword, deliberately letting the blood flow out and intensifying the smell of blood in the air.

There were many demon beasts in this area.

Smelling the blood, they would naturally come over.

Demon beasts were the best way to dispose of a body.

Killing Yang Li, Chen Mo felt no discomfort.

Such villains deserved to die.

Soon, Chen Mo returned to the outer sect disciples' courtyard at the foot of the Celestial sword Sect mountain, went back to his residence, tightly closed the door, and bolted it.

Only then did he take out the Blood Kingship.

He carefully examined the palm-sized, blood-colored kingship.

With a light sniff, he smelled its refreshing fragrance, making him salivate.

With a gentle poke, the Blood Lingzhi trembled like a woman's smooth skin.

Chen Mo first cut off a small piece of the Blood Kingship and put it in his mouth.

The Blood Kingship melted in his mouth, quickly turning into a surging warmth that flowed into his organs, limbs, and bones.

Just this thumb-sized piece made him feel warm all over, incredibly comfortable.

Shen Mo hurriedly cut the rest of the Blood Kingship into small pieces and ate them all.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

He felt a hot little snake seemingly slithering through his body.

Sometimes it appeared in his organs, sometimes it traveled through his blood vessels, sometimes it roamed his muscles and bones, and sometimes it wandered through his limbs.

Each time the hot little snake moved, it made the areas it passed through stronger and tougher.

A sensation of soreness and pain also came, gnawing at Chen Mo's nerves.

He gritted his teeth and endured, not fainting.

After an hour, the warmth in his body gradually subsided.

Chen Mo clenched his fist, feeling as if his body had become heavier.

His heartbeat grew stronger, like a high-powered pump.

Each beat pushed the viscous yet vibrant blood throughout his body, nourishing his muscles and bones.

If someone could see inside his bones, they would see that his bone marrow was as pure as jade, flawless and free of impurities.

The blood produced seemed to carry a hint of jade glow.

Blood like mercury, marrow like frost!

This was the hallmark of the peak of the Body Tempering Realm!

His previous self had reached this realm, so upon noticing the changes in his body, Shen Mo immediately knew he had returned to the peak of the Body Tempering Realm!

"No wonder it's a mid-tier Profound-grade treasure. Just one Blood Kingship directly pushed me from the major achievement to the peak of the Body Tempering Realm!"

Chen Mo clenched his fist, his expression full of joy.
