I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 160: Chapter 103: Netherworld Blood Coffin, Breaching the Pass

That stuff was poisonous.

It was infused with demonic energy, rendering it utterly useless.

He couldn’t understand why Fang Xing wanted it.

Hearing Baili Qingtian’s inquiry, Fang Xing replied as he gathered the items, "I cultivate a Martial Art that can be tested with this stuff."

"I hope you’re not practicing some kind of Poison Skill..."

Baili Qingtian was rendered speechless by Fang Xing’s answer.

’Aside from maybe being useful for some special Poison Skill, how is this stuff any different from actual poison for normal Martial Arts cultivation?’

However, he didn’t press the matter. He turned to Wang Lin, who was standing nearby. "Arrange for some men to clean up the battlefield and help him collect that stuff."

Wang Lin nodded and immediately dispatched some Profound Armor Army soldiers to help.

After a flurry of activity, all the Demon Essence was in Fang Xing’s hands.

He did a rough count; in total, there were several thousand Demon Essences.

About eighty-five hundred.

As for the rest, some of the monsters had been hacked to a pulp by the Profound Armor Army.

’Eighty-five hundred Demon Essences...’

’If I enhance all of this Demon Essence, I wonder if it will be enough to forge my Divine Soul!’

The thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

There were still several stages of transformation between the Yin God and Divine Soul.

But even if he couldn’t reach the Divine Soul Level, it would still strengthen his soul immensely.

However...

Fang Xing then thought of another problem.

His Enhancement Points were nowhere near enough to enhance the Demon Essence. Forget enhancing all of it; he didn’t even have enough to enhance a fraction of it.

Eighty-five hundred Demon Essences. Enhancing one Demon Essence into a Divine Essence required one thousand Enhancement Points.

He did a quick calculation and couldn’t help but wince.

He would need a full eight and a half million Enhancement Points.

He hadn’t obtained that many Enhancement Points in his entire time since transmigrating.

Forget eight and a half million; he didn’t even have eight hundred fifty thousand.

’I’ll just have to take it slow and enhance them bit by bit.’

Fang Xing sighed.

That many Enhancement Points weren’t something he could get overnight.

It would take years.

Besides, he couldn’t possibly spend all his Enhancement Points on enhancing Demon Essence.

That would be putting the cart before the horse.

But even if he couldn’t enhance all the Demon Essence now, he decided to keep it. It wouldn’t be a problem to store it in his Storage Pouch anyway.

Fang Xing did a quick tally of his recent gains.

The haul from this battle was astonishing.

Two Great Demons—one Middle Realm and one High Realm—had yielded one hundred thousand Enhancement Points.

Plus the over one hundred thousand he’d gotten from slaying the other monsters.

His Enhancement Points had reached an unprecedented new high.

Over three hundred and twenty thousand.

Three hundred and twenty thousand Enhancement Points.

This trip was a massive score!

WHOOSH—!!

Just then, a figure was seen speeding toward them from a distance. Fang Xing looked over.

It was Zhuang Qian.

Seeing Zhuang Qian, Fang Xing and Baili Qingtian immediately went to meet him.

"How did it go?"

Baili Qingtian asked.

"Two got away. I only killed one," Zhuang Qian said, tossing a severed head onto the ground with a sigh.

Fang Xing recognized the head on the ground at a glance.

It belonged to the Evil Cult’s True Qi Peak Martial Artist.

He didn’t need to guess. The ones who escaped must have been the Void Saintess and the other one, the True Qi Great Perfection expert.

Baili Qingtian glanced at the head on the ground and smiled. "That’s not too bad. At least you killed one of them. The battle’s over. Let’s head into the city."

Zhuang Qian nodded and started walking toward the city. Fang Xing and Baili Qingtian followed.

The city was deathly silent.

Because of the Evil Cult’s ritual, there wasn’t a single survivor in the entire city.

In these chaotic times, such scenes were not uncommon.

Cang Province had long been suffering from great turmoil.

Cult Demons ran rampant.

Compared to this, Jiang Province was practically peaceful.

Throughout Cang Province, aside from the major province and county cities, nearly all the towns and villages were deserted.

To ordinary people, this place was no different from a living Purgatory.

Even when the Court mobilized forces to suppress and eliminate them, the chaos could not be completely quelled.

This wasn’t limited to a single province; the situation was even more severe in the border prefectures.

Beyond the borders of Great Jing, the Great Wei empire watched like a tiger stalking its prey.

Internal turmoil and external threats!

The group arrived at the County Yamen’s Residence and rested for a while in the Inner Hall, which dispelled much of their fatigue.

The high-intensity battles were enough to leave a person mentally and physically exhausted.

"I must thank you both, my lords," Baili Qingtian said, taking a sip of tea. "Without you, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have been able to breach Qingfeng Pass."

"We were only following orders. There’s no need for such courtesy, General," Zhuang Qian replied with a slight smile.

"What’s the next move?" Fang Xing asked.

"The orders from above are to garrison Qingfeng Pass for now. They’ll also be relocating some civilians here to stabilize the area."

"After that, we’ll have to see what the Evil Cult does."

"The Cang Province Observatory is currently tied up and can’t spare much manpower. We’ll need to hold steady for a while."

Baili Qingtian explained slowly.

Fang Xing nodded slightly.

"What’s this, Younger Brother Fang, still haven’t had your fill?" Baili Qingtian teased, looking at Fang Xing with a grin. "Want to march with the army? I guarantee you won’t be short on battles."

At this, Fang Xing smiled. "Marching with the main army isn’t really for me. But if you need my help in the future, General, I can provide assistance."

’Follow the army? He’d have to be crazy.’

’Operating freely with the Observatory was safer. While moving with the army might offer more rewards, the risks were far greater.’

"Alas, what a waste of a talent like Lord Fang," Baili Qingtian sighed dramatically.

Zhuang Qian chuckled and looked at Baili Qingtian. "General, you’re trying to poach him right in front of me. If Lord Nangong finds out, I’m afraid he won’t be so willing to send support next time."

Baili Qingtian: "..."

"Ahem, I was just joking," Baili Qingtian said with a cough.

"Is our mission considered successfully completed now?" Fang Xing asked, looking at Baili Qingtian.

Baili Qingtian nodded. "Yes. It’s a complete success."

Hearing this, Fang Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

With this mission complete, he planned to use his gains to make a major push in his training.

His Martial Arts and his Cultivation all needed to be improved.

The more he experienced, the more inadequate his own strength felt.

In a world like this, he couldn’t even sleep soundly without powerful strength to protect himself.

"My Lord, someone from the Cang Province Observatory is here."

Just then, Deputy General Wang Lin entered the Inner Hall to report.

At his words, the eyes of all three men immediately fell upon him.
