After a night of dejection.

Su Qing returned to Xu Ningying’s residence.

As it happened, Xu Ningying was just about to go out.

Su Qing walked up and asked, "Xu Ningying, where are you headed?"

"Guarding Shangjing. It’s my turn on duty today." Seeing Su Qing once more, Xu Ningying found that he seemed even more charming.

His eyes, in particular, looked as if they were full of color.

"You..."

"You’ve changed so much. Your eyes are really beautiful."

Xu Ningying stared for a moment, then realized she was losing her composure.

She couldn’t help but look away, a faint blush creeping up her neck.

Su Qing asked, puzzled, "Have I? It’s probably just some recent progress in my Cultivation."

"The smell of alcohol and perfume on you is so strong."

Xu Ningying wrinkled her nose in disgust, not expecting that Su Qing also liked to frequent brothels.

Su Qing just smiled.

"That five thousand silver, is it enough to buy a residence in Shangjing?"

Su Qing asked. After all, who knew how expensive things in Shangjing were.

"A residence? It depends on how big you want. Residences in Shangjing start at eight hundred silver, at least."

"Alright, if you really want to buy a residence, I can help you look. For now, I have to go stand watch at the Demon-Extermination Bureau."

Xu Ningying left, and Su Qing shook his head.

’A residence? Do I really need one?’

Probably not.

’I can practice the Cyan Flood Dragon Posture.’

Su Qing thought that having the means to gain strength but not using it would be a complete waste of time.

He still had plenty of Great Replenishing Pills.

Plenty for him to consume.

He walked back quickly.

Here, the heavy snow had been cleared by the servants in the morning.

’That’s pretty nice.’

After taking a Great Replenishing Pill, Su Qing assumed the Cyan Flood Dragon Posture.

An hour passed.

Su Qing directly gained one hundred Skill Level points.

[Cyan Flood Dragon Posture: Mastery (154/1000)]

"?????"

Su Qing was utterly confused.

But then he looked at his Five Qi God Demon Body and thought of something.

’Increases Cultivation speed by ten times?’

’Who knew it worked like this?’

Su Qing’s mind was completely blown.

But then he grew incredibly excited.

...

Eight and a half hours passed.

Su Qing shed another layer of skin.

However, there was no intense pain, just his whole body getting a bit hot.

His Physique had only increased by five points.

’Continue.’

Although the sky had already darkened, Su Qing was extremely happy.

A tenfold increase in Cultivation speed was just too satisfying.

Night fell.

After using Water Spiritual Qi to clean himself,

Su Qing lit the stove.

He lay down on his bed and went to sleep.

He hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time.

This time, Su Qing slept until noon, something he rarely ever did.

As soon as he woke up,

Su Qing continued practicing the Cyan Flood Dragon Posture without even washing his face.

This time, he was going to grind for a whole day.

When he woke up this morning, Su Qing had just discovered that his Five Qi God Demon Body also had an entry for increasing Physique by ten times.

That meant that the transformation from breaking through to Minor Achievement should have only given him a pitiful 0.5 attribute increase.

If not for the help of the Five Qi God Demon Body,

it probably wouldn’t have increased at all.

After swallowing more than ten Great Replenishing Pills,

Su Qing cultivated the Cyan Flood Dragon Posture.

Once he started cultivating, another whole day passed.

Body Tempering Perfection [Cyan Flood Dragon Posture: Great Success (0/3000)]

...

Su Qing’s body became much hotter, and he shed another layer of skin.

After enduring it with difficulty for half an hour,

Su Qing was already drenched in sweat.

He then used Fire Spiritual Qi to burn away the shed skin.

’An increase of 21 attribute points.’

Su Qing was very satisfied. Although without the Five Qi God Demon Body, it might have only been 2.1 points.

But things were different now.

With his Physique increased again, Su Qing felt like he could destroy anything with a single punch.

Such a satisfying power-up always left Su Qing wanting more.

He had another good night’s sleep.

Su Qing then resumed his Cultivation, continuing for two consecutive days.

Su Qing shed his skin again.

His body also became incredibly hot.

Like a fully cooked shrimp, his entire body was bright red and radiating heat.

The qi and blood in his body flowed ceaselessly. With every heartbeat, the qi and blood would circulate throughout his body for a full half-hour.

This shedding process took two hours.

Su Qing had to consume nearly all of his stored Great Replenishing Pills just to replenish the deficit in his qi and blood.

’Finally finished cultivating. The Five Qi God Demon Body is just too powerful.’

Su Qing couldn’t help but marvel.

He had jumped several dozen attribute points in an instant.

This was something Su Qing could hardly have imagined before.

He never expected that after grinding the Five Qi God Demon Technique to Perfection, everything would change completely.

The power of this constitution surpassed his previous Chaotic Life Body, and it was a constitution that could still improve.

’If another synthesis succeeds and triggers Evolution...’

Su Qing didn’t dare to imagine how wonderful that would be.

’All that’s left is the Geng Metal Sword Technique.’

Su Qing started to smile.

He couldn’t have been happier.

His Cultivation speed had increased tenfold, and he was absolutely ecstatic.

’Replicate the Geng Metal Sword Technique nine times.’

Su Qing chanted inwardly.

His mind sank for a moment, and the Geng Metal Sword Technique was replicated nine times.

Su Qing recovered in just one minute.

’Synthesize.’

[Synthesis Failed]

Su Qing was stunned for a moment.

But it didn’t matter.

[Synthesis Successful: First Layer Geng Metal Sword Technique (Double Effect)]

How could Su Qing be willing to settle for a Geng Metal Sword Technique with only a double effect?

No way.

He had to trigger the Evolution property at least once.

He hurried back into his room and continuously synthesized the ingredients for Great Replenishing Pills.

[Synthesis Successful...]

[Synthesis Successful...]

...

In a single day, Su Qing synthesized over two thousand Great Replenishing Pills.

Among them, over two hundred had triggered Evolution. Su Qing now understood that Evolution occurred at a fixed rate.

Three triggered Divinization.

Two triggered Mutated.

And two triggered Demonization.

Not every item that underwent Divinization was the same.

[Little Divine Pill: Replenishes a large amount of qi and blood.]

[Blood Purifying Divine Pill: Removes impurities from qi and blood.]

[Divine Pill: Consumes qi and blood to slightly increase Spiritual Power.]

These were the elixirs that resulted from Divinization.

The Mutated ones were:

[Exclusion Pill: Randomly removes a small part of the body.]

[Dizziness Pill: Consuming it will cause one hour of dizziness.]

The Demonization ones were:

[Small Demon Pill: Converts a portion of qi and blood into Demonic Qi.]

[Demon Blood Pill: After consumption, a portion of qi and blood is converted into Demon Blood.]

...

Su Qing looked at these elixirs. He could use the Divinization ones, but as for the others...

Su Qing didn’t dare use them.

At most, he could only keep them.

’Storage Pouch, Storage Pouch!!!’

Looking at the huge pile of things that could only be stored in a single chest, Su Qing couldn’t help but think of the Storage Pouches and Storage Rings that were always present in stories about the Immortal Cultivation World.

He packed the Demonization and Mutated elixirs into small boxes.

Su Qing was afraid of accidentally consuming one. Although they were useless to him, he could keep them to screw someone over later.

’I wonder if I can synthesize a Storage Pouch from ordinary bags.’

After thinking for a moment, Su Qing ran out.

He took some silver and bought ninety small bags.

[Synthesis Failed...]

[Synthesis Successful: Large Bag]

[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Talent Triggered]

[Extra-Large Bag: Ten times the size of a Large Bag.]

[Synthesis Successful...]

He performed ten syntheses in a row.

Su Qing was dumbfounded.

It seemed Evolution couldn’t solve this problem.

There was also a bag that triggered a forced synthesis. It could indeed hold some things, but not many.

At most, it just added 0.2 cubic meters of Space to a small bag.

It really wasn’t very big.
