109 Body Tempering 1 (1/2)
A gigantic Jade-made Kong-Que is hovering just above the High-Quality Residence. For the sake of letting his elder brother and uncle know about the existence of this treasure, he purposely holds himself from keeping this treasure away.
”Damn brat! How many time I tell you that no personal flying tool is allowed within the Seven Heaven Sect! Only top ten disciples of each mountain are allowed to do so with Flying Swords!” Wu Jing yelled at the person sitting on the neck of the Jade Kong-Que.
”He's number seven, you forgetful brat.” the elder added.
”Number seven my head! Wu Ming! Come down now!” he ordered.
”Coming!” Wu Ming deactivates the Flying Tool and lands on the ground. With a big smile on his face, Wu Ming quickly went to his brother's side. Unfortunately, his good results and the Jade Kong-Que failed to convince his brother and calm his anger, where it leaves him crying in pain.
”Aww! Big brother, I did well in the Mysterious Legacy Realm Challenge, why you pinch me?” Wu Ming is crying for help.
”You! Don't think I don't know about the thing you did inside of the spatial realm. Who ordered you to kick the five disciples from the Celestial Gate into the abyss and send them back to our world?” Wu Jing put more pressure into his fingers and pinches his brother harder.
”Aww! Aww! Brother, softer, softer...” Wu Ming retaliates with cries of pain, where it finally succeeds in getting Wu Jing to stop torturing him. Following that, the three went inside of the residence where Wu Jing started to share his haul from this challenge.
Altogether, Wu Ming collected six inheritance treasure from the Mysterious Legacy Realm Challenge and taking the top spot as the number one winner in this challenge. And of course, the Jade Kong-Que comes from the treasure trove as well.
As for the remaining five treasures, it was a Mortal Heaven Grade Weapon in its 2nd-Tier, a necklace made from Moon Silver, which boosts the recovery ability of an Inner Qi Warrior, one Cultivation Art Manual, and two Martial Art Manuals.
”Very good, very good... I think that in another fifteen days, the two of you will go into the Third Heaven Mountain for sure. Cultivates yourself well, and I will get ready to see you both in the next mountain.” their uncle completes what he wanted to say, and left the residence.
”Big brother, I feel like going to challenge another... Aww!!! Pain!” with their uncle is gone, Wu Ming wanted to go try something else. But before he managed to finish his sentence, the finger came close to his face again.
”Uncle says, MEDITATE!” Wu Jing pulled his younger brother back into the meditation room and locked Wu Ming inside. In return, he went back to his room opposite Wu Ming.
”Brother, I'll behave... Let me out...”

Although his name is spreading almost everywhere, Zhang Wu Ji was not a bit bothered by them. Instead, he gives all his attention in his work to refine the Ingots correctly so they can fetch a better price. But for now, his best results were the stack of eleven 38% Purity Fool Silver Ingots.
As for the others, they were all sold to the Material Hall to exchange for more Qi Accumulating Pills, where Zhang Wu Ji decided to swap them for the opportunity to borrow another book.
The total of 280 Qi Accumulating Pills is enough for him to take two of them, but he did not go ahead with this suggestion because of a few reasons that restrict him from abusing his ability.
The first reason is due to his limited number of Qi Accumulating Pills within his pocket, and the second reason is due to the restriction in his cultivation. The Knowledge Unlocking process cost him a strand of Warrior Qi for every word he tried to unlock, where Zhang Wu Ji wasn't dared to try.
Luckily, his memorizing ability is better compared to many people. By remembering the techniques taught inside of the Silver Processing Art, it will not be a problem for him to return the book, although it means he will lose the useful ability inside the book.
”Disciple Wu Ji pay his respect to the elder and also for the sake of returning the book.” Zhang Wu Ji bowed at the elder with both hands holding the book he extends to the elder. Like before, his manner obtained a good impression for the elder.
”Good. Had you learn and remember all the valuable insight inside of this book?” the elder rarely pay attention to the disciples borrowing the books, but this time is an exception. The way this disciple behaves managed to obtains his approval.
”Answering to the elder, disciple did learn about the insight recorded and personally executes them in his practice. Hopefully, the elder will give this disciple a little guidance from appraising this Fool Silver Ingot.” Zhang Wu Ji withdraws one of the eleven 38% Purity ingots for the elder's inspection.
The High-Grade Fool Silver attracted the elder's interest. From the second he received the metal, he infused a large amount of Qi into the Fool Silver Ingot to begin his appraisal.
”Hmm... Good. The technique is applied to refine this Fool Silver Ingot is very uniform and stable. The impurities inside are removed by 38% which is an excellent result considering its a High-Grade Fool Silver Ingot. Good product!” the elder came out with his evaluation on this piece of High-Grade Silver Ingot.
”Disciple hope elder will not look down on this gift.” Zhang Wu Ji speaks his intention in giving this Silver Ingot to the elder.
”As an elder, accepting a gift from a disciple is very unethical in the eyes of the others. How about this elder exchange them with a suggestion instead?” the elder caress his long beard as he speaks about the issue related to his ethics.
”Disciple thanks elder for his kind suggestion.” Zhang Wu Ji bowed again at the elder.
”With your ability in comprehension, I suggest that you focus on cultivating the Qingyang Fortress Body. This Cultivating Technique not only focused on body strengthening but also to build a proper foundation before entering the Soldier Tier.”
”Of course, a body strengthening cultivating technique is very hard to advance, unless he's trying to become a punching bag for the sect. To counter these difficulties, I will provide you with a supporting Cultivating Manual I obtained in my younger time exploration.” the elder withdraws a manual from his side Spatial Ring.
”This is the Inner Scorching Vein Art. It was a proper Body Tempering Technique of Huo Clan. The main reason to cultivates with this Inner Scorching Vein Art is to increase the stress your Martial Body can accept. The stronger a Martial Body, the easier it is to refine the Qingyang Fortress Body.” the elder extends his hand with the manual.
”Wu Ji thanked the elder for his kind suggestion. Please rest assure that this youth will do his best in cultivating this body tempering art!” Zhang Wu Ji accepted the Scorching Vein Art, but he cannot help himself to ask.
”Erm... Elder, what about the manual for Qingyang Fortress Body?” he asked.
”This manual belonged to the sect so you will have to pay 100 Qi Accumulating Pills to rent it.” the elder answered.
”...”
”Here you go, dear elder.” Zhang Wu Ji handed a hundred of the Qi Accumulating Pills to the elder and obtained the second copy of Manual. After he returned to his residence, Zhang Wu Ji took the two manual out from his Spatial Ring for inspection.
