I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World-Chapter 37 Harvest

[Killed an Innate Transcendence Late Stage martial artist and obtained 300 Qi Blood Essence]

With one slash, Gao Kaiyuan fell, and Han Zheng felt a sudden sense of clarity.

The Han Zheng of this life died unclearly; although his soul dissipated, some of his unwilling obsessions might still linger.

It wasn't until he killed Gao Kaiyuan that Han Zheng finally felt somewhat enlightened.

However, this vengeance didn't seem fully avenged; unexpectedly, the Song Family stood behind Gao Kaiyuan, something Han Zheng hadn't anticipated.

Black Stone County had two major martial arts families, the Song Family in East City and the Shen Family in West City.

Their strength wasn't on the same level as the Sanhe Gang at all.

Within these families, there were not only masters who had reached the Perfect stage of Innate Transcendence Realm and forged the Water and Fire Immortal Clothes but also a considerable number of Innate martial artists.

Currently, he could undermine the Sanhe Gang in secret, but seeking revenge against the Song Family with his current strength was far from sufficient.

Setting aside these frustrating matters, the gains from this battle were still very substantial for Han Zheng.

Three hundred Qi Blood Essence, which could be sacrificed to gain 3000 Hunger Level points; Han Zheng had never been so affluent.

Previously, killing Feng Yuan had only yielded thirty Qi Blood Essence; a martial artist at the late stage of Innate Transcendence Realm had an astounding amount of Qi Blood, ten times that of Feng Yuan.

Rummaging through Gao Kaiyuan's corpse, he found nothing but a stack of silver notes.

The denominations of these silver notes were not large, totaling just over two hundred taels, likely Gao Kaiyuan's routine expenses.

Han Zheng was slightly disappointed.

He had hoped to find the manual for Shattering Jade Hand.

Han Zheng was truly envious of the Shattering Jade Hand.

Now having reached the Innate Realm, possessing three Innate Techniques, he had truly stepped into the gateway of martial arts and developed his own understanding of martial arts.

The Shattering Jade Hand was actually a technique that existed somewhere between cultivation techniques and martial skills.

Cultivating Shattering Jade Hand, along with the Vajra Demon Suppression Seal and White Ape Extended Arm Fist, would undoubtedly greatly increase its power.

Gao Kaiyuan's body was thrown directly into the river outside the city to feed the fish.

Actually, disposing of Gao Kaiyuan's body wasn't a big issue.

Han Zheng's martial skills were very mixed, especially the Vajra Demon Suppression Seal, which was completely different from the Vajra Fist, so nobody could tell anything was amiss.

Back in the city, Han Zheng found Black Stone County completely in chaos, with many members of Sanhe Gang fighting among themselves, and both the Sky Eagle Gang and Black Tiger Gang taking advantage of the turmoil.

Although Jiang Tai had become the only gang leader of Sanhe Gang, both Gao Kaiyuan and Cao Bin had their own trusted followers, naturally not acknowledging him.

Some of the higher-ups in Sanhe Gang believed that it didn't matter who the gang leader was, as long as their status was ensured.

Therefore, even with the deaths of Cao Bin and Gao Kaiyuan, the internal strife within Sanhe Gang was inevitable.

These matters had nothing to do with Han Zheng. After returning home, he immediately opened the Taotie Furnace to see how to utilize the Qi Blood Essence obtained from killing Gao Kaiyuan.

Three hundred Qi Blood Essence, all sacrificed for 3000 Hunger Level points, could even allow Han Zheng to train inside the Taotie Furnace for almost ten years.

But Han Zheng couldn't possibly use it all to enhance his realm; his martial arts strength also needed to improve.

Upon entering the Taotie Furnace, Han Zheng first trained his Inner Strength, enhancing his realm while also bringing his mastery of Dragon Elephant Wisdom to perfection.

Initially an Iron Bone of the Innate Transcendence Early Stage, Han Zheng's rapid advance to the Innate Realm was largely thanks to the Spirit Pill given by Yuan Longshan.

Yet progressing from Iron Bone to Golden Muscle and Jade Veins in the Middle Stage was not so straightforward.

Golden Muscle and Jade Veins required Inner Strength to temper the meridian channels throughout the body, primarily enhancing control over strength.

The meridian paths, being minute and intangible, were even more challenging to temper, requiring both careful and painstaking attention.

Han Zheng trained in the Taotie Furnace for a full five hundred days; Dragon Elephant Wisdom reached perfection, but the tempering of Golden Muscle and Jade Veins was merely at the introductory level, showing no progress.

Han Zheng wasn't discouraged; he was used to his mediocre talent.

It took him one Spirit Pill and over three hundred days of arduous training just to progress from Postnatal Perfection to Iron Bone.

Progressing from Iron Bone to Golden Muscle and Jade Veins was more than ten times harder.

Even using all these Hunger Level points might not guarantee a breakthrough.

So after bringing Dragon Elephant Wisdom to perfection, Han Zheng stopped further cultivation and instead brought the White Ape Extended Arm Fist to perfection.

In terms of power, the White Ape Extended Arm Fist might not necessarily be stronger than the Vajra Demon Suppression Seal.

But the potential of White Ape Extended Arm Fist was significant, and it could merge with the Nine Heavens Ape Demon Star Picking Map.

Han Zheng also wanted to see just what sort of extraordinary martial arts the White Ape Extended Arm Fist could evolve into when combined with the Nine Heavens Ape Demon Star Picking Map.

After his battle with Gao Kaiyuan, the proficiency of White Ape Extended Arm Fist had already increased to 20%.

Then, while continuing his training in the furnace, Martial Arts True Intent also emerged.

A divine white ape, resembling a small giant, roamed through the mountains and forests; as the White Ape brandished its arms, the movement's charm was fully displayed.

It took over six hundred days for the White Ape Extended Arm Fist to truly reach perfection.

Training Innate Martial Arts was far more difficult than cultivating Postnatal Martial Arts like the Vajra Fist.

Han Zheng checked the attributes of the White Ape Extended Arm Fist.

"Current breakthroughs in Cultivation Techniques:

To breakthrough Dragon Elephant Wisdom, it requires the consumption of 3,000 Hunger Level points.

To breakthrough White Ape Extended Arm Fist, it requires the consumption of 2,000 Hunger Level points, and integrating the Nine Heavens Ape Demon Star Picking Map for the breakthrough requires an additional 5,000 Hunger Level points."

Han Zheng bit his back teeth and suddenly felt a bit of toothache.

The breakthroughs of Postnatal Realm Martial Skills were very cheap; initially, breaking through the Vajra Fist only used up a hundred Hunger Level points.

However, by the time he reached the Innate Transcendence Realm, the cost had multiplied more than tenfold, and the expense with the integration of the Nine Heavens Ape Demon Star Picking Map was astonishing.

After he had trained Dragon Elephant Wisdom and White Ape Extended Arm Fist to perfection, he had less than 2,000 Hunger Level points left, making it impossible to break through.

After some thought, Han Zheng simply trained the Vajra Demon Suppression Seal and the Blood Slaughter Saber Technique to perfection as well.

By doing so, as long as he had enough Hunger Level points, he could elevate any Martial Skill to the next realm at any time.

After bringing several techniques up to full Skill Level, Han Zheng was left with only 700 Hunger Level points.

He didn't use those Hunger Level points and decided to save them, planning to accumulate enough to break through a technique all at once later on.

After reviewing his attributes, Han Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Name: Han Zheng

Cultivation: Early stage of Innate Transcendence Realm (Copper Skin Iron Bones)

Martial Skills: Postnatal Realm 'Iron Elephant Skill' Perfect, Postnatal Realm 'Vajra Fist' Perfect, Postnatal Realm 'Blood Slaughter Saber Technique' Perfect.

Innate Realm 'Dragon Elephant Wisdom' Perfect, Innate Realm 'Vajra Demon Suppression Seal' Perfect, Innate Realm 'White Ape Extended Arm Fist' Perfect.

Current status: Lack of Pain Sense, Abundant Qi Blood Essence"

Han Zheng exhaled deeply, a difficult-to-describe sharp aura exuding from his body, which gradually returned to calm after a long while.

This had been his longest training session inside the Taotie Furnace—2,300 days, nearly six years.

It had taken him six years to train these techniques to perfection, and even then, he had taken shortcuts; the presence of the Martial Arts True Intent in the Taotie Furnace also increased his training speed.

For other Martial Artists, these techniques would have been enough for half their lifetimes.

The next morning, Han Zheng headed to Shenghe Hall.

One reason was to meet Li Feng and inquire about the disturbances in the county town the previous day, and the other was to ask him about the Heavenly Demon Red Fruit.

Arriving early, Shenghe Hall had just opened, and Li Feng was leisurely enjoying his tea.

Seeing Han Zheng arrive, Li Feng hurriedly beamed with joy and had someone move a chair for Han Zheng to sit.

"The authentic Huainan tribute tea, try some, Brother Han."

The last time, Han Zheng gave him advice that turned out to be excellent.

Shenghe Hall had cleared all connections; after all, it was they themselves who scrambled for the Spiritual Medicine, not his concern.

However, the aftereffects were somewhat severe.

The Sanhe Gang directly turned in on itself due to this matter, almost fighting their brains out.

But what did that have to do with his Shenghe Hall, with him, Li Feng?

Han Zheng took a sip of the tea, smiling wryly as he shook his head, "I'm just a simple man; this stuff doesn't taste different from ordinary tea to me.

By the way, Pharmacist Li, I was cultivating at home all day yesterday; it seemed quite chaotic in the county town. How did it end with the Sanhe Gang?"

Li Feng, waving his white jade folding fan, said, "Don't mention it. The Sanhe Gang fought all day yesterday.

Cao Bin died, Gao Kaiyuan escaped from the city but was later found dead in a ditch outside, the body swollen from soaking. It's unclear whether he was killed by Jiang Tai's men, by the Sky Eagle Gang, or the Black Tiger Gang.

In any case, it was a complete mess. Jiang Tai couldn't control the situation; furthermore, with the Black Tiger Gang and the Sky Eagle Gang taking advantage of the chaos, Sanhe Gang suffered heavy losses.

Later, it was Zhang Tianyang, Black Stone County's Chief Constable, who intervened and stabilized the situation by arresting quite a number of people, bringing calm to the three gangs.

You wouldn't believe it, but our Chief Constable from Black Stone County is quite strong, managing to block an attack from the three gang leaders simultaneously, forcing them to back down."

Han Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

He had instigated the infighting within the Sanhe Gang, effectively muddying the waters.

This gave Zhang Tianyang enough reason to arrest people openly; he should be able to find out whether anyone in the Sanhe Gang was conspiring with the Smell Fragrance Sect.

However, Han Zheng guessed there probably wasn't, as there was no need.

Cao Bin only wanted to position his son at the top, not join the Smell Fragrance Sect for a better future.

Gao Kaiyuan worked for the Song Family; if the Smell Fragrance Sect had promised to help him seize the Gang Leader's position, he wouldn't be working as a dog for the Song Family.

As for Jiang Tai, he was a nonentity; he wouldn't have been swayed by Han Zheng's provocations if the Smell Fragrance Sect backed him.

It was possible that Zhang Tianyang might return empty-handed this time.

But these concerns were no longer related to Han Zheng.

He had fulfilled his promise to Zhang Tianyang to stir up trouble in Black Stone County. Whether Zhang Tianyang could catch any fish in the murky waters was now up to his own ability.
