12dz Chapter 55 Finale
Chapter 55 Finale
After ten days of development, the Dark Night forces have begun to take shape.
A total of 28 people became official members of Dark Night, and they received a monthly stipend of one thousand coins, providing increasingly detailed intelligence.
Zhou Qiuyuan had too many nighttime intelligence matters to handle every day, which encroached on his precious cultivation time.
He did not forget his original intention in establishing Dark Night. Dark Night was a tool for making money and providing intelligence. Wasting cultivation time to expand Dark Night would be putting the cart before the horse.
After the Dark Night reforms, it was divided into the Internal Affairs Hall, the External Affairs Hall, and the Intelligence Hall.
Zhou Qiuyuan selected three people with the best spiritual awakening talent from the twenty-eight people and transferred them to the External Affairs Hall. The remaining twenty-four people continued to stay in the Intelligence Hall to collect intelligence.
The three members of the External Affairs Hall can awaken their spiritual power and become disciples to cultivate. They will receive 5,000 coins per month. Each member will be responsible for eight members of the Intelligence Hall and will compile their intelligence and hand it over to Gong Lei.
Although Cao San was familiar with him, his talent was only a third-grade fire spirit, and he was not among the three people in the External Affairs Hall.
As Zhou Qiuyuan's most trusted person, Gong Lei was officially promoted to a member of the Internal Affairs Hall. He would receive a monthly allowance of 10,000 wen and would be responsible for liaising with the External Affairs Hall.
As long as Zhou Qiuyuan makes contact with Gong Lei, he can obtain all the intelligence that Dark Night collects every day.
He spends the least amount of time processing the most valuable intelligence, ensuring that the biggest slice of the pie doesn't leak out.
Other valuable intelligence was passed on to the Foreign Affairs Hall through Gong Lei, who then acquired the substantial sums of money.
Even the smallest amount of money is still money; over the years, it can accumulate into a considerable sum.
In this way, you won't miss out on either big or small money.
Once Dark Night has accumulated sufficient funds and strength, it will expand into the other three major urban areas.
Zhou Qiuyuan sat cross-legged at home, and thunderous sounds emanated from his flesh.
"call!"
He exhaled a breath of stale air and slowly got up. This time, he exerted too much force, and the bed made a creaking sound as his hand pressed down. Clear handprints were left where his palm had pressed down.
The flesh and blood have finally been tempered!
The cultivation efficiency of the Deadly Sword far surpasses that of the Thunder Listening Sword. Zhou Qiuyuan used the Thunder Blade to cultivate for two hours every day, and after returning home, he would use the Deadly Sword to cultivate for five or six hours.
In addition, they are generous with their pills, so how could their cultivation speed not be fast?
Today, he has finally tempered his skin, flesh, and bones, officially achieving minor success in external refinement.
From then on, Zhou Qiuyuan could focus his energy on tempering his Thunder Bone, up to the highest level of the Ninth Refinement.
Different cultivation methods have different core practices and also have primary and secondary aspects.
The core of external cultivation techniques that excel at defensive training is the skin and membrane, while the core of external cultivation techniques with strong recovery capabilities is flesh and blood.
The core of Yang Lei Bian's external training is the Thunder Bone. The Thunder Bone significantly enhances speed and strength. At the same bone tempering level, the amplification effect is at least three times that of tempering other parts.
Skin, flesh, and bones can all be tempered to the ninth level, but doing so requires a lot of time, effort, and cultivation resources.
Even at the ninth level of refinement, its strength is only about one-third of the increase from external refinement at the same level.
This does not mean that the skin and flesh that have not been deeply tempered will always be inferior to the Thunder Bone. As long as one cultivates to the transformation period of the Body Tempering Realm, the core will nourish the skin and flesh, causing the body to transform from the inside out.
In this way, if both external and internal cultivation reach the ninth level, it will take several times the cultivation time and resources. However, the effects of the two different cultivation methods after reaching the transformation stage are not significantly different.
A comprehensive upgrade would require a significant amount of time and resources, and in some cases, the gains would outweigh the losses.
Moreover, all body cultivators aspire to embark on the path of cultivation, and the faster and stronger they improve their strength, the sooner they can obtain the corresponding acquired spiritual root.
The mainstream cultivation method today is to refine the core of one's main cultivation technique to its limit.
Zhou Qiuyuan did not intend to go against the trend; he would focus solely on tempering his Thunder Bone.
……
A dream of the future.
When Zhou Qiuyuan woke up, he did not go to his master's sect, but stayed at home to cultivate diligently.
He practiced from morning till night in one go, and his progress was extremely rapid.
As the sun began to set, he slowly concentrated his lightning spiritual power into his right index finger, which glowed with purple lightning and resembled a sword.
Zhou Qiuyuan arrived at the courtyard, looked at the stone wall at the hanging flower gate, and subconsciously poked at it.
The stone wall was as fragile as paper under the lightning strike; he easily poked a hole in it.
Even if it were iron, the Spirit Rhinoceros Thunder Sword Finger could probably pierce it easily.
Zhou Qiuyuan withdrew his hand, his face full of smiles.
For the past ten days, he has never stopped practicing his secret techniques.
Zhenxieyin, Yimian Secret Technique, Zigang Leiyi, and Lingxi Sword Finger have all reached the Great Mastery level. As for the Secret Technique Listening to the Wind, after obtaining information through the dark night and collecting the relevant medicinal materials, he successfully entered the first level yesterday.
The only thing they couldn't figure out was how to create the Soul-Shaking Sound.
The difference between the mastery and perfection of a secret technique is enormous. When a secret technique reaches perfection, it undergoes a complete transformation.
Lei Huyin is the best example. This secret technique was originally a means of assisting in sound attacks, and it can only produce extremely strong killing effects on ordinary people.
It can only interfere with body refiners who have tempered their skin, and cannot make a decisive move.
After the thunderous sound takes form, it solidifies and does not dissipate, greatly increasing its power. If the enemy is unprepared and has not gathered their spiritual power to defend their eardrums, this attack can determine their life or death.
When the Purple Gang Thunder Robe is fully formed, it creates a purple aura that covers the entire body and makes the Thunder Robe appear outside the body, increasing the defensive capabilities of the armor.
The perfected Spiritual Sword Finger is no longer limited to being concentrated at the fingertips; it can also detach from the body and transform into tangible sword energy to attack the target.
Unfortunately, these secret techniques were just one step away from being perfect.
With a bit of luck, you can break through in just one battle.
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to reach perfection in his lifetime.
It's time to gather intelligence.
Zhou Qiuyuan donned a set of night clothes, channeled his lightning spiritual power into his feet, and quickly left the mansion, arriving at Tianxiang Tower.
After the Thunder Bone was forged, his speed and strength underwent a tremendous change. When he used the Thunder Spirit Power, he could leap nearly ten feet in a single bound, which was astonishing.
He traversed seven or eight alleyways in one breath, without breaking a sweat or getting out of breath, showing no signs of fatigue.
Just then, he vaguely heard hurried footsteps in the distance. His lightning spiritual power gathered in his ears, and he clearly heard someone running towards him.
This person has a long, drawn-out breath and powerful strides; he is definitely a body cultivator.
Who is tracking me?
Zhou Qiuyuan shrank back and carefully hid behind a stone platform. His night clothes, which blended into the darkness, were the best camouflage.
The person who came chased after Zhou Qiuyuan to the alley where he was and began searching everywhere.
Where did they go?
"That guy runs really fast!"
Gu Lin's face was grim. He had thought that tracking a body cultivator without spiritual tools would be easy, but he hadn't expected Zhou Qiuyuan's speed to be extraordinary.
This is definitely at the level of a body refiner with spiritual tools!
Although Zhou Qiuyuan's secret has not been discovered, as long as the young master is informed of his guess about obtaining the spiritual tool, a reward can be obtained.
Gu Lin searched around without success and was about to return to the Lu residence to report.
Roar!
A purple thunder tiger suddenly appeared on the left and exploded in Gu Lin's ear, causing him to clutch his head and let out a wail.
A purple sword shadow, as thick as an index finger, flashed by and accurately struck the man's right wrist. Accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, the right wrist was instantly crippled, and the man's spirit weapon longsword fell to the ground.
Zhou Qiuyuan grabbed the longsword, knowing the situation was settled, and stared coldly at the man. "Who are you? Why are you following me?"
Gu Lin did not respond, clutching his head and wailing, blood still flowing from between his fingers.
If Lei Huyin unleashes his full power, will he turn this guy deaf?
How can we gather intelligence like this?
Great!
