Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chapter 368: Chapter 191: Black Lotus Holy Pill

Xi’Er and Dong’Er often watered the flowerbed. In just a few days, the potion should either be fully absorbed as nutrients or seep completely into the ground and vanish.

As for the Black Lotus Holy Pill, other Martial Artists might be able to use it for Cultivation.

But based on Chen Cheng’s understanding of the Martial Dao, it was absolutely impossible to cultivate with it.

Martial Arts Cultivation, specifically the Five Acquired Body Refining Realms, was all about strengthening the body’s Innate Origin. This included Qi Blood Power as well as Divine Thought.

The Black Lotus, in the end, was inseparable from a Martial Artist’s blood essence. Since it was impossible to completely remove all traces of Divine Thought, it would definitely affect a Cultivator’s own Divine Thought.

Rashly using the Black Lotus Holy Pill for Cultivating Martial Dao would only mean the losses would far outweigh the gains.

...

This Demon Slayer assignment in Moshan County would take at least a month or two.

Mu Xiaowan had prepared Chen Cheng’s travel bag for him early on.

After breakfast, still feeling uneasy, she carefully checked it again to see if anything was missing.

Looking at the large bundle, Chen Cheng couldn’t help but frown.

"This is a bit too much. Just one change of clothes will be enough.

As for the Dried Demon Beast Meat, just pack a little. There will be plenty of fresh Demon Beast Meat to eat once I’m out there."

Mu Xiaowan was very obedient and took out some of the Dried Demon Beast Meat.

But after a moment’s thought, she took out another set of clothes and stuffed it into the bundle.

"When you’re away from home, it’s better to bring a few more sets of clothes. I heard Moshan County is arid, and the common people have trouble even finding water to drink. I’m afraid it will be hard to find water to wash clothes.

And you like to be clean, Brother Cheng. So how about taking three sets?"

"Fine." Chen Cheng nodded lightly.

Mu Xiaowan gave a radiant smile, then found a few boxes, took out several stalks of old mountain ginseng and Lingzhi, and said:

"Should you bring more Medicinal Materials?"

Chen Cheng chuckled and said, "That’s not a bad idea."

For a Martial Artist to greatly replenish their qi and blood, Demon Beast Meat is naturally better if resources are scarce.

But if resources were plentiful, things like old mountain ginseng and Lingzhi were actually gentler in replenishing qi and blood.

They could also gently nourish and fortify one’s Divine Thought, which was better for the body’s Innate Origin.

These days, Chen Cheng was not only someone who would choose meat over tofu, but he had also become extremely picky about his Great Qi and Blood Replenishing Herbs.

Of course, being picky had its advantages.

Making small improvements in the details, pushing his body’s Innate Origin bit by bit toward perfection, would allow for greater Martial Dao potential in the future.

"Oh, right, Brother Cheng. You usually like to read. Should you bring a few books to pass the time?"

Mu Xiaowan added.

Besides Cultivating Martial Dao, Chen Cheng did indeed enjoy flipping through books. After all, with Mr. Zheng’s enormous study, it would feel like a waste not to read them.

"Well... let me think." Chen Cheng pondered. It seemed Mr. Zheng’s study had a map that he had personally drawn.

It detailed much of the terrain of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.

Chen Cheng had looked it over once and had mostly committed it to memory, but many areas were quite hidden. It would be better to bring the map.

"In that case, let’s bring that copy of ’Xu Wu Xuan Strange Tales’," Chen Cheng said.

The map was personally drawn by Mr. Zheng, but he had actually based it on the travelogues of his predecessors, making corrections and additions.

He hadn’t even bothered to find a separate book, instead adding his notes directly onto the travelogue itself.

This ’Xu Wu Xuan Strange Tales’ was no simple book. It was said to have been written by an Innate Realm Martial Artist.

This person was known as the Void Daoist. He had once traveled the Great Wilderness Mountain Range and wrote that it was a place of great mystery.

Many of its Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were unique to the Land of the North.

The Void Daoist even speculated that deep within the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, there was a dwelling left behind by a powerful senior, but unfortunately, its traces seemed to be concealed by an Array.

He searched arduously for many years but was ultimately unable to find a way in.

This ’Xu Wu Xuan Strange Tales’ was widely circulated, and nearly every Martial Artist of some power in the Land of the North knew of it.

This was because of the powerful senior’s dwelling mentioned within it.

The Great Yu was vast, filled with countless hidden and unknown places. The dwellings of powerful seniors and Ancient Secret Realms often contained many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that were of great benefit to a Martial Artist’s Cultivation.

A saying even circulated widely in the Martial Arts Realm: obtaining the dwelling of a powerful senior was enough to establish a sect within a prefecture.

And if one were to discover a Secret Realm, it would be enough to ensure a family’s prosperity for a thousand years.

It was said that the Great Yu Founding Saint Emperor began his rise to power only after chancing upon the dwelling of a powerful senior.

In his later years, as his body’s Innate Origin was on the verge of depletion, the Void Daoist desperately sought a dwelling or Secret Realm, attempting to defy fate and change his destiny. In the end, however, he fell short.

And the dwelling in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range was one of his regrets.

He mentioned in ’Xu Wu Xuan Strange Tales’ that if a great change were to occur in the world, the dwelling deep within the Great Wilderness Mountain Range might reveal itself.

Because of this record, every time the earth’s veins in the Linji Prefecture region trembled, many powerful experts would come to investigate.

However, for several hundred years, this legendary dwelling had never appeared.

As a result, this Void Daoist and the ’Xu Wu Xuan Strange Tales’ he left behind were no longer given much importance.

In the Great Yu, although dwellings and Secret Realms were hidden, quite a few had been genuinely discovered by people.

With Chen Cheng’s current Martial Arts Power, he naturally wouldn’t dare to think about these so-called dwellings and Secret Realms. But as a Martial Artist, it was hard not to entertain the thought.

’What if, one day, I also happen to stumble upon the dwelling of a powerful senior!’

Since Mu Xiaowan spent every day with Chen Cheng, she naturally knew about ’Xu Wu Xuan Strange Tales’. She gave a sweet smile and headed for the bedroom.

’Brother Cheng treasures this book. He always keeps it by his pillow!’

"Brother Cheng, do you want to take a look at it now?"

Mu Xiaowan understood Chen Cheng well. She brought over the Secret Manual and asked.

Chen Cheng reached out to take the Secret Manual, then immediately pulled her into his arms, preparing to savor a tender moment.

He would be separated from Mu Xiaowan for a long time on this trip to Moshan County, and Chen Cheng was already feeling a little unaccustomed to the idea.
