Chapter 879: Body Refining Rivals Saint-Grade

“This Kou Zhong seems quite extraordinary. I wonder how many Ascenders like him exist.”

Fu Qingfeng looked at Kou Zhong’s distant back and said softly.

“No matter how extraordinary, compared to Hero Ding, he’s far inferior.”

Fu Yuechi pouted and muttered:

“Though I don’t know much, I do know that someone like Hero Ding is extremely rare in this world.”

“We don’t know Hero Ding’s origins; do those so-called players and Ascenders know?”

Fu Qingfeng was tempted to ask but thought it over and suppressed the impulse.

She pulled down her mask, covering her entire face, leaving only her eyes exposed.

She began to gaze in the direction of Chang’an City, waiting silently.

…

…

Ding Ling cast the ‘Wind Summoning Skill,’ blinding the soldiers’ eyes, mingling into the crowd, and smoothly entered Chang’an City.

As for the city of Chang’an.

Ding Ling was very familiar with it.

He activated the Illusionary Escape Skill, disappearing in the crowd like a wisp of smoke.

Ordinary people couldn’t detect him at all.

He weaved through alleys, eventually arriving at the Imperial Palace.

Now, all the fertile lands of the world belong to Ming.

The capital of Ming is in the Capital City.

But this Chang’an Imperial Palace is a historical relic, fairly well preserved, with many soldiers stationed here.

Ding Ling moved swiftly; his Illusionary Escape Skill confused the eyes, making it nearly impossible for martial artists below the Shattered Realm to notice him. They might sense a passing breeze, but when they looked again, there was nothing.

“Strange.”

The General glanced around and murmured:

“Something seems off.”

He looked towards the street ahead.

It was as bustling as ever.

People came and went, streams of traffic, continuously flowing.

The only difference was:

Among the bustling crowd, occasionally, one or two figures with extremely powerful auras would appear.

“Are they Ascenders? Or aliens?”

The Military General took a breath, looked at the soldiers, and shouted:

“Stay alert, do not relax!”

…

Every world is different.

The construction of the Imperial Palace is naturally different as well.

But regardless of the changes, the top architects know a bit of Geomancy Skill.

The locations for building medicine warehouses, study rooms, etc., are all quite particular.

Thus, it didn’t take Ding Ling long to locate the medicine warehouse.

He used the Illusionary Escape Skill to quickly pass by, like a fleeting wisp of smoke in front of the soldiers. After he passed by,

hundreds of soldiers stationed at the door of the medicine warehouse,

without exception,

stood rigid, unable to move, having been hit by the Acupressure Skill.

Ding Ling’s Martial Dao True Understanding-powered Acupressure Skill had reached the Transformation Realm, easily covering hundreds of martial artists below the Shattering Level with his Vigorous Qi, immobilizing them in an instant.

Once hit.

They could only move their eyes, nothing else.

“What happened?!”

All the soldiers were shocked:

“Who did this to us?”

They darted their eyes around, realizing their comrades were all as rigid as wood, faces pale, unable to calm the turmoil in their hearts:

“Someone who can silently infiltrate the Imperial Palace and easily subdue us must be an extraordinary expert. Hopefully, once he achieves his goal, he will spare our lives.”

The soldiers were all experts above the Innate level.

They were the elite secretly trained by the court.

This time they were stationed in Chang’an purely because a new batch of high-grade Great Medicine had arrived, which was to be ‘escorted’ to the Capital City soon for the National Preceptor.

But now, it seemed highly likely the intruder was targeting the Great Medicine.

If they lost the Great Medicine,

they would be doomed.

But they couldn’t just sit and wait for death either; they decided to escape Chang’an as soon as they could move! Far from the Capital City and important places, to avoid being targeted by the National Preceptor!

As for risking their lives against the one who secretly came to seize the Great Medicine?

They dared not even think of it. An expert who could subdue all of them in an instant was not someone they could face.

The soldiers were wise.

Ding Ling, however, didn’t concern himself with them. Once he entered the medicine warehouse,

he saw wooden crates piled high.

With a casual wave of his hand,

in the sound of cracks, the crates opened one by one.

Ding Ling could clearly see the crates contained rare Treasure Medicines like five-hundred-year-old Poria, thousand-year-old Ginseng, hundred-year-old Celestial Snow Lotus, and Red Vermilion Fruit.

“Such treasures,”

Ding Ling marveled. With these Treasure Medicines in hand, his power would once again advance rapidly.

He could distinctly sense that even the hundred-year-old ginseng was undeniably more potent than the Lower Realm’s thousand-year-old ginseng!

This was because the Spiritual Vitality absorbed and refined by the ginseng in this world was vastly superior in quality and level compared to the Lower Realm by hundreds of times!

This was why the result was so astonishing.

He took a 300-year-old Poria and swallowed it whole.

[Strength +0.1]

[Agility +0.1]

[Constitution +0.1]

[Defense +0.1]

…

With the Martial Dao True Understanding rapidly refining,

in just two breaths of time,

[Strength +0.5]

[Agility +0.5]

[Constitution +0.5]

[Defense +0.5]

The energy from one herb caused a very noticeable increase in the Four-dimensional Attribute Points.

It should be known that at Ding Ling’s level,

ordinary Great Medicines could no longer enhance his physical attributes at all.

The fact that a 300-year-old could increase by 0.5 was quite remarkable.

Ding Ling glanced at the quantity of Great Medicines.

There were no less than eight hundred of the hundred-year-old Poria, Ginseng, and Snow Lotus.

There were also five hundred that were two to three hundred years old.

Then, two hundred that were five hundred years old.

Three that were about a thousand years old.

Among them, one was nine hundred years old, which Ding Ling also counted in.

Ding Ling didn’t delay; he began consuming them immediately.

The hundred-year-old Great Medicines were instantly refined.

[Strength +0.1]

[Agility +0.1]

[Constitution +0.1]

[Defense +0.1]

One herb’s four-dimensional attribute point increases by 0.1

Due to resistance to the medicine,

after consuming eight hundred herbs,

[Strength +53.6]

[Agility +53.6]

[Constitution +53.6]

[Defense +53.6]

increased by a total of 53.6 points!

Ding Ling’s strength soared, breaking through several levels at once, stepping into a profound and mystical realm.

“What is this feeling?”

Ding Ling clenched his fist.

Carefully experiencing it.

“I see. Have all my four-dimensional attributes’ energies broken through the shackles of the Martial Arts Holy Golden Core? Does this mean that just based on my physical attributes alone, I can now easily match several First Grade Martial Arts Golden Core experts?”

Previously, Ding Ling’s Body Refining ability had already reached the Golden Core level.

But, in fact, his four-dimensional attributes were still at the Shattering Level.

It’s just that his Body Refining Skill was so strong that he could achieve the Martial Arts Golden Core level standard relying on Shattering Level four-dimensional attributes.

And now.

His four-dimensional attributes had already stepped into the Saint-Grade Martial Arts Golden Core Level!

With such a high-tier attribute point,

it can be said,

that Ding Ling doesn’t need any True Qi; with just his iron fists, he can easily defeat a group of ordinary Martial Arts Golden Core level experts!

Only a First Grade Martial Arts Golden Core, or a Ninth Grade Great Perfection Martial Arts Golden Core might be able to slightly contend against him.

“Very good.”

Ding Ling was very satisfied.

The improvement in constitution enhanced his longevity, healing power, and endurance.

The increase in agility means that now, relying solely on physical attributes, he can maneuver swiftly and without hindrance.
