Dragon's Origin

Chapter 370 Strengthening (Part 1)

Wang Sheng was a sniper, and his greatest advantage was his courage and meticulousness. He realized something was wrong with the numbers with just a glance at his spirit space. After carefully counting, he confirmed his suspicion. Seventeen! The number of combat awareness figures had increased to seventeen.

Two of them were distinctly different from the others. It was clear at a glance that they were the result of one splitting into two. But why did only one figure split and not all of them? What was different about these two?

In the first instant, Wang Sheng immediately attributed the problem to the "Shou Jing Mental Cultivation Method." These days, Wang Sheng had either been on the road or in the Old Lord's Temple meditating. He hadn't come into contact with anything related to cultivation except for the Shou Jing Mental Cultivation Method.

The Shou Jing Mental Cultivation Method was a technique practiced by the Emperor, allowing him to maintain a calm and wise mind. The higher the level of cultivation, the greater the activity of the brain. It could be said that this was a technique to strengthen the brain. He wondered what the Emperor's spirit was like, and whether each time he advanced, the spiritual Qi tempering also strengthened the brain.

The correctness of the technique was beyond doubt. Being able to make the combat figures split was definitely a good technique. Wang Sheng's cultivation was insufficient to allow the combat figures to continue splitting, but the Shou Jing Mental Cultivation Method had achieved it in just one day. The effect was immediate.

There was nothing more to say. He immediately controlled the other fifteen combat figures that had not split, stopping the simulations they were performing and having them cultivate the Shou Jing Mental Cultivation Method instead.

If sixteen combat figures could become sixty-four, the efficiency of the simulations would more than double. There was nothing to hesitate about.

After instructing Wang Guanshi to refuse all visitors for three days, Wang Sheng stayed quietly in his practice room for three days, living a regular life, cultivating, exercising, and resting. After three days, Wang Sheng finally saw the combat figures in his spirit space had increased to thirty-two.

The number had changed, but there was a side effect: all the combat figures' bodies were smaller. Wang Sheng understood that this was due to his insufficient cultivation and spiritual Qi. To compensate, he either had to improve his cultivation or use a large number of elixirs similar to the Creation Pill to nourish the combat figures.

What was he waiting for? Wang Sheng spoke to Mei'er. He told her in the morning, and in the afternoon, a hundred Creation Pills were placed in front of Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng had once sought a Creation Pill for a million gold coins and failed, but now, since that sect was jointly destroyed by various parties, the pill formula had been leaked, and the cost had dropped sharply. A pill could be obtained for several hundred thousand gold coins. For Mei'er, Wang Sheng wanted elixirs similar to the Creation Pill, but what could be better than Creation Pills? Wasn't it just a matter of tens of millions of gold coins? Wang Sheng had just earned four hundred million in Tongxing City.

"It's good to have money!" Wang Sheng sighed, then unhesitatingly picked up a jade box containing Creation Pills, opened it, and before the pills could trigger any celestial phenomena, he directly stuffed them into his mouth.

The massive medicinal power instantly entered his body and rushed into the spirit space. Under Wang Sheng's control, it was divided into thirty-two strands and injected into the bodies of the combat figures.

The combat figures seemed to know this was a good thing. Each of them cultivated according to the Shou Jing Mental Cultivation Method, frantically absorbing the medicinal power of the Creation Pills.

When Wang Sheng had just completed the Chiwen Transformation, one Creation Pill could have burst him open. Even after Wang Sheng completed the Taotie Transformation, the second Creation Pill directly allowed Wang Sheng's spirit to advance and complete the Bixi Transformation, a super powerful pill.

But now, the spiritual Qi converted from one Creation Pill rushing into the spirit space was completely absorbed by the thirty-two combat figures in less than half an hour, leaving nothing for Wang Sheng. Of course, there was still an effect. At least the bodies of the thirty-two combat figures were larger than before.

This method was effective. Wang Sheng unhesitatingly opened the second box and stuffed another Creation Pill into his mouth, then continued to repeat the process.

The Creation Pill itself could change one's physique. Wang Sheng had sought the Creation Pill in the past because several imperial physicians had diagnosed that Wang Sheng's various arduous training and battles in previous years had led to an increase in hidden injuries and a weakened constitution. Therefore, this time, even though the main purpose of taking the Creation Pill was to nourish the combat figures, it still had many benefits for Wang Sheng.

After all, the spiritual Qi had to be digested and absorbed by Wang Sheng's body before entering the spirit space. Even if Wang Sheng didn't absorb a single trace of the spiritual Qi entering the spirit space, it would naturally enhance Wang Sheng's physique as it passed through his body.

Knowing this, Wang Sheng was lying in a warm water bath before taking the Creation Pills. Now Wang Sheng had plenty of money and people. This bath was not stagnant water but flowing water that had been warmed by someone outside, constantly flowing and taking away some of the impurities discharged from Wang Sheng's body due to the Creation Pills.

The first time he took the medicine, he felt greasy and uncomfortable. Now Wang Sheng didn't have to suffer that anymore. Even if Wang Sheng didn't care, Mei'er wouldn't be happy, let alone Wang Guanshi?

If the people who boiled the water were negligent, they would definitely be punished; if the people who tested the temperature made the Marquis feel too hot or too cold, they would also be punished; if the water supply was interrupted, they would be punished even more.

As for the area around the bath where Wang Sheng was taking the medicine, at least a hundred young experts from the Old Lord's Temple and dozens of female guards were protecting him. It would be an exaggeration to describe it as impenetrable, but it was true that not even a fly could get in. In the Marquis's mansion, the spirit gathering array was always on, making cultivation at least 50% more efficient than elsewhere. Raising soldiers for a thousand days was for using them for a moment. If they didn't protect the Marquis well at this time, when would they be used?

From the beginning, Wang Sheng had been taking Creation Pills almost continuously, taking one every half hour. After taking ten pills, Wang Sheng would rest, eat something, drink some water, and solve the internal urgency brought about by the marrow cleansing, and then continue. Once in the morning and once in the afternoon, he swallowed twenty pills in one day before stopping.

People who didn't know what pills Wang Sheng was taking didn't think much of it. Wasn't it just eating twenty highly nourishing pills a day? As long as the cultivation level was high enough, and the energy was digested and absorbed in time, it was not a problem.

But there were many people who knew what pills Wang Sheng was swallowing. For Creation Pills, even experts in the seventh or eighth level could only swallow two a day at most. Wang Sheng ate twenty a day. Wasn't he courting death? Wasn't he afraid of being burst open?

But thinking about how Wang Sheng was only at the first level when he directly swallowed two Creation Pills in a row and directly advanced, now Wang Sheng was at least at the fifth level, or even possibly the sixth level, so twenty pills didn't seem like an exaggeration!
