Becoming a Saint From the Iron Armor Skill

Chen Cheng walked into the small courtyard. Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang seemed completely unaware, still absorbed in comprehending their respective Realms.

Chen Cheng decided not to disturb them. He closed the courtyard gate and stood to the side, admiring the sight of the two beauties practicing their skills.

On the stone table, two Cold Crystal Jades emitted waves of cold air. Shen Qingyao's delicate brows would occasionally furrow, only to be replaced by a faint smile.

Her fair, jade-like hands were guiding streams of icy energy, trying to form them into a ball of frosty mist.

Chen Cheng's group of three had only found one of these Cold Crystal Jades; the other was one Chen Cheng had looted from Wang Xiongba.

Never one to leave empty-handed, now that Chen Cheng had captured Wang Xiongba, he naturally had to go through the standard procedure of a City Guard Department Chief Constable.

Just then, Chen Cheng sensed waves of Water Element energy and turned his gaze toward Shen Qingshuang.

He saw the blue pearl in Shen Qingshuang's hand suddenly release ripples of energy, absorbing the surrounding Water Element energy as threads of vapor began to spread.

The vapor quickly condensed, turning into tiny droplets of water that enveloped the blue pearl.

The droplets gradually coalesced, forming countless beads of water that dripped, one by one, into a water vat.

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Shen Qingshuang's cool and distant face.

Her Qi Blood Power suddenly surged. Her fair, jade-like hands circled the blue pearl, continuously mobilizing the Water Element energy.

WHOOSH!

The water droplets were pulled along, resembling a waterfall. One moment they were flying in every direction, the next they formed a curtain of water...

This blue pearl was none other than the Water Element Pearl, which Chen Cheng had obtained from the belly of a Green Water Toad.

The Green Water Toad had relied on the Water Element Pearl to spit out jets of Water Element, a testament to the pearl's wondrous power.

Previously, Shen Qingshuang had only mastered the Green Wave Sword Stance. Now, with the help of the Water Element Pearl, she was already able to vaguely sense the Gui Water Realm.

'Looks like the rewards from this demon-slaying trip out of the city weren't bad at all!'

Chen Cheng thought to himself and slowly walked into the room where he slept.

The room's furnishings were simple, with only a few basic pieces of furniture and a small bed.

At this moment, the silk bedding was neatly made, and the air was filled with a scent Chen Cheng knew well—the subtle, elegant fragrance unique to young women, mingled with a hint of cosmetics.

If someone who didn't know better were to walk into this room and smell this fragrance, they would probably think it was a young lady's private chamber.

This fragrance, of course, was left behind by the two sisters, Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang.

After returning to Moshan City, the sisters Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingshuang didn't go back to their own courtyard, but moved into Chen Cheng's.

Having moved into Chen Cheng's small courtyard, the two sisters would, after bathing, simply take over Chen Cheng's bed and fall right asleep!

The bed wasn't large, just big enough for two people. With the two sisters occupying it, Chen Cheng had no choice but to go back to the Chens' place on Pipa Island to sleep.

Gently inhaling the familiar, subtle fragrance, Chen Cheng walked to the window. He admired the sight of the two beauties practicing in the courtyard for another moment before returning to the desk, sitting down, and taking a small box from his robes.

The small box was made of precious huanghuali wood. Inside was a diamond-shaped, thumb-sized, ink-black metallic ore.

That fellow Wang Xiongba didn't have much on him; not a single thing like silver notes or gold coins.

There was only that Cold Crystal Jade, this huanghuali wood box, and the metallic ore inside it.

The metallic ore was only the size of a thumb, but it was extremely heavy, probably weighing twenty to thirty jin—much heavier than Black Gold.

'Judging by its color and texture, this metallic ore is likely the legendary Ink Crystal Stone. For me, this is a huge gain.'

Ink Crystal Stone contains the Power of the Five Elements' Geng Metal Origin. It's similar to the Water Element Pearl, but its value is far greater.

The Water Element Pearl is a great aid for comprehending the Gui Water Realm, but for a Martial Artist who doesn't cultivate the Gui Water Realm, it doesn't have much value.

But Ink Crystal Stone is different. Not only is it a great aid for comprehending the Five Elements Geng Metal Realm, but it is also an extremely valuable Artifact Refining Material.

In this world, ordinary weapons made of Profound Iron or Profound Gold are considered to be at the Treasure Artifact level.

But above Treasure Artifacts, there are the legendary Spiritual Artifacts.

According to legend, the power of a Spiritual Artifact is immense. Even an ordinary Spiritual Artifact can unleash power far exceeding that of a Second Layer Realm.

And Ink Crystal Stone is one of the materials used to forge Spiritual Artifacts.

Moreover, each material used to forge Spiritual Artifacts has many other mysterious and profound uses, which are often only known to Artifact Refining Masters.

'I've been focused on my Martial Arts Cultivation and don't know much about various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or Artifact Refining Materials. When I get back, I need to find someone and ask what other miraculous uses this Ink Crystal Stone might have.'

After this thought, Chen Cheng carefully put away the Ink Crystal Stone and began to pack his belongings, preparing to return to Linji City.

There wasn't much danger in Moshan City, so he could have stayed for a while to see if there was any news from the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.

However, Chen Cheng had lost his Inner Armor in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range. Without the extra weight, his Cultivation Progress on the Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill was extremely slow.

His top priority now was to hurry back to Linji City, forge a new set of Inner Armor, and resume his cultivation of the Iron Armor Dragon Elephant Skill.

As for the Profound Gold Mountain Pattern Armor he had lost in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, Chen Cheng wanted to retrieve it, but the mountain range was too dangerous. He would have to wait for a better opportunity in the future.

After all, with his current Martial Arts Power, just protecting himself would be a struggle in a perilous place like the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.

'Once I reach the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm and cultivate a Second Layer Realm, maybe then I can go to the Great Wilderness Mountain Range...'

'No, that's not enough. An existence like Ghostly Wound... if he really went all out, I can't imagine how terrifying he would be.'

'Just cultivating one Realm to the Second Layer probably isn't enough to beat Ghostly Wound. I'll need to cultivate at least two Realms to the Second Layer to have a chance of crushing him!'
