Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 30: Vajra Fist

Crack!

When Wang Chen clenched his fist tightly, the muscles on his arm instantly turned as hard as iron, the tendons protruding from beneath the skin, and the bones emitted a crisp crackling sound.

Filled with power.

He had not expected that the effects of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method’s body refinement were so formidable!

Entry granted 1 point to his physique attribute, and the force of his Qi-Blood was at least twice as strong as before.

Martial Artists in the Mortal realm cultivated precisely this Qi-Blood force, with the strongest reaching the Innate Realm.

An Innate Martial Artist’s combat power could rival that of a low-tier Qi Cultivation cultivator, and with Divine Weapons in hand, they could even contest mid-tier Qi Cultivation practitioners with their mere mortal bodies.

Many Innate powerhouses chose the path of Body Cultivation that best aligned with themselves, seeking entry into the Tao through martial arts.

Of course, Wang Chen would not choose a path of Body Cultivation with limited potential.

But the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method could compensate for his weakness in physique, enhancing his combat and survival abilities.

Therefore, even if it meant expending the precious Heavenly Merit,

he was determined to levitate it!

It was only now that he realized his body was covered in greasy filth, exuding an unpleasant smell.

Wang Chen hurried to take a bath, washing away these impurities that had seeped out from his muscles.

Finally, after performing the Cleansing Technique twice in succession, his body became clean and refreshed.

Yet, though his body was clean, his stomach now thundered with hunger.

The feeling of starvation swept over him like a tide, with every cell in his body crying out for nutrition and energy.

Wang Chen felt like he could eat an entire cow!

He quickly took out the last ten jin of Monster Beast meat from his Storage Bag, putting it in a large pot to simmer.

Because of his extreme hunger, even before the meat was fully cooked, Wang Chen could not wait to scoop it out, shaving off slices with a dagger and devouring them with pinches of salt.

After consuming all ten jin of Monster Beast meat, he still did not feel full.

His appetite had increased by several times compared to usual!

Only now did Wang Chen truly understand the “terrifying” nature of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method.

Its effects were powerful, as was its consumption.

According to the records of the cultivation technique, the best supplementary medicine for practicing the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method was Vajra Ghee.

A bottle of Vajra Ghee, valued at ten Low Spirit Stones, was enough for only one cultivation session; without this supplementary medicine, the cultivation effect would be greatly reduced.

To achieve the best cultivation results, one would need to apply a full bottle of Vajra Ghee for each session!

Besides, daily consumption of meat was indispensable.

And it had to be Monster Beast meat, the higher the tier the better; otherwise, it would impact the cultivation of this method.

Monks truly aren’t vegetarians!

The thought alone was enough to make Wang Chen’s liver ache, as the two Low Spirit Stones in his Storage Bag trembled in fear.

He had already given Bai and his wife thirty jin of Monster Beast meat and fifty jin of Spirit Valley, leaving his rations hardly sufficient to last until the summer harvest, and now he had finished off the remaining meat as well.

He needed to stock up on a batch of Spirit Rice and Monster Beast meat.

Moreover, even if he couldn’t use a bottle of Vajra Ghee for every Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method cultivation session,

Wang Chen still had to spend Spirit Stones.

Otherwise, the poor effect of subsequent cultivation sessions

would be meaningless.

The question was, how could he earn such a large sum of Spirit Stones?

Hunting Monster Beasts?

The original owner had lived with his father at first, and after Wang Shaoyuan disappeared, he joined the Cloud Sun Sect to farm.

In seventeen years, he had never even stepped outside the Outer Sect area.

He had no hunting experience whatsoever, and the number of Monster Beasts he had seen was few.

Take on sect missions?

Equally inexperienced, and also quite dangerous, earning Spirit Stones immediately was even less realistic.

Artifact Refining? Alchemy? Street vending?

Wang Chen pondered as he stepped outside into the small courtyard.

To practice the Vajra Fist.

The Vajra Fist was a set of boxing techniques included with the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method.

Nine moves in total.

The purpose of this set of boxing techniques was mainly to refine the residual medicinal power of Vajra Ghee and to guide the Qi-Blood within the body.

To strengthen tendons and bones, and cleanse the marrow!

The Vajra Fist techniques were not complicated; in fact, they were quite simple, each move devoid of any flashiness.

Even for someone practicing it for the first time, Wang Chen found it easy to learn.

Yet, with each repeated practice, Wang Chen felt the profoundness of this gifted set of boxing techniques.

It was nothing like the mundane martial arts he had assumed it to be!

This was quickly confirmed on his Immortal Cultivation panel.

Vajra Fist (Entry-level): 1/100

Mortal martial arts would not show up on the Immortal Cultivation panel.

Since Vajra Fist could be listed in the skills column, it meant that it was indeed a genuine immortal cultivation technique!

The entry level of this boxing technique was obviously very simple.

With Wang Chen’s mere 3 points of Comprehension, he had grasped the basics after practicing it twice.

What would cultivating to proficiency, Minor Achievement, and Great Achievement be like?

Wang Chen immediately became interested.

He pushed the worry of earning Spirit Stones to the back of his mind and repeatedly practiced the Vajra Fist.

He accumulated experience bit by bit.

The next morning, after completing his “morning lesson” cultivation, Wang Chen left home and hurried to Cloud Mountain City.

Before entering the city, Wang Chen had already changed his appearance to a common one.

So ordinary that if thrown into a crowd, there would be no way to distinguish him.

The Thousand Mechanisms Changing, this human skin mask, had been in his possession for some time, and today was the first time he really used it.

Then, Wang Chen, with a new face, arrived at a branch of the Four Seas Commerce Association.

The Four Seas Commerce Association had several branches in Cloud Mountain City, all running similar businesses.

The one he visited was not the same one he went to last time.

Upon entering, Wang Chen found the shopkeeper, presented the magic sword, and asked straightforwardly, “How many Spirit Stones can I get for this sword?”

This magic sword was also seized from a Traveling Merchant, and its quality was quite good.

Originally, Wang Chen intended to keep it for his own use.

But now that his home was nearly out of resources, after much thought, he could only sell it to solve the urgent crisis.

As the saying goes, better safe than sorry. Considering that the sword was hot property, that’s why he used the Thousand Mechanisms Changing to disguise himself.

Even though the Four Seas Commerce Association’s reputation was always good.

“This mid-tier, first-grade magic artifact…”

After appraising, the shopkeeper said, “It’s well-maintained without any damage. If my friend wishes to sell, our shop is willing to offer one hundred and fifty Low Spirit Stones for it.”

One hundred and fifty Low Spirit Stones?

Wang Chen truly hadn’t expected the magic sword to be worth so many Spirit Stones.

But as a mid-grade sword.

Were he to buy it himself, the selling price in the weapons shop would definitely be more than one hundred and fifty Low Spirit Stones.

The opposite party’s offer also certainly left room for negotiation.

Wang Chen responded, “Two hundred!”

The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this, “Impossible, I can offer at most one hundred and sixty.”

After some haggling, the magic sword was finally sold for one hundred and seventy-five Low Spirit Stones.

Wang Chen was quite satisfied.

He trusted the reputation of the Four Seas Commerce Association and knew that they would not swindle their customers.

Wang Chen didn’t take all Spirit Stones.

He used seventy-five of the Low Spirit Stones to exchange for eight bottles of Vajra Ghee.

The difference of five Spirit Stones was also firmly bargained for.

After leaving the branch of the Four Seas Commerce Association, Wang Chen went to a grain store.

Upon inquiring about the current rice price, he was taken aback.

The price of White Jade Rice had actually risen to six Fragmented Spirit Stones per pound!

Keep in mind that previously, the grain shops would buy Spirit Valley for fifty pounds per Low Spirit Stone, equivalent to two Fragmented Spirit Stones per pound.

Normally, rice prices were around four Fragmented Spirit Stones.

Now that it had gone up to six Fragmented Spirit Stones, the grain store owner even had an attitude of take it or leave it.

Wang Chen gritted his teeth and spent sixty Low Spirit Stones to purchase a thousand pounds of White Jade Rice.

The Spirit Stones that had just entered his Bag hadn’t even gotten warm when he spent the majority of them!

But Wang Chen’s spending spree had not come to an end.
