Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 292 - 186: Bamboo Shadow Body Tempering Manual, Striking It RiChapter
It is precisely the relatively weak link in the current Golden Body Hard Skill System.
It’s somewhat strange that the hard skills we see now require perfection to manifest their traits. Before achieving perfection, there’s only a disparity in physical power enhancement.
"It’s decided!"
Fang Qingyu, without hesitation, stepped into this area and took the Bamboo Shadow Body Tempering Manual.
As a Divine Cultist, Jiang Wei was unable to cultivate Martial Technique. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Her reward was directly exchanged for an equivalent amount of Profound Level Meditation Flower resources, and the quantity was also abundant.
Wei Banmeng and the other two each selected their desired Martial Technique.
"Let’s go." Wei Banmeng gathered her belongings and gestured for Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei to follow.
Returning to the Pocket World Blessed Land of Dragon Abyss Pavilion.
Wei Banmeng stopped and waved decisively at Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan: "You two, off to training."
"Huh? Junior Sister..."
"Go!" Wei Banmeng cast a commanding glance, leaving no room for doubt.
Chu Kuanglan and Lu Jiuyuan instantly drooped, hanging their heads and reluctant as they headed towards the comprehensive training grounds.
Wei Banmeng, meanwhile, led Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei towards a secluded pavilion nestled amidst verdant bamboo in the depths of the Pocket World Blessed Land.
The pavilion, with its flying eaves and ancient allure, was Yan Shouzheng’s residence, the "Observing Silence Pavilion."
Upon reaching the green stone path before the pavilion, Wei Banmeng halted and turned to Fang Qingyu: "Wait here. I’ll go ask my master for instructions."
Fang Qingyu nodded, holding Jiang Wei’s hand as they stood quietly beside a cluster of swaying green bamboo.
Yet, Wei Banmeng had only just turned around, ready to step forward.
She hadn’t even taken a step when her movements abruptly paused.
She appeared to sense something, her body trembled faintly, and then she slowly turned back, her cool face showing a slightly odd astonishment as she looked at Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei, her voice tinged with uncertainty:
"Let’s go... My master agreed."
"Hmm?"
Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei were simultaneously surprised, looking at the tightly shut wooden door of the pavilion and then at Wei Banmeng.
It was approved... without even entering?
Wei Banmeng too seemed momentarily dazed but quickly composed herself, taking a deep breath and fixing them with a stern gaze: "That place... you must keep it confidential. No matter who it is, you can’t tell a soul." Her tone was unprecedentedly serious.
Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei exchanged a glance, seeing the gravity in each other’s eyes.
The existence of the Pocket World Blessed Land, the rules of the Hidden Dragon Plan, even the secret of the Source Material tide—Wei Banmeng hadn’t asked them to keep those things secret.
And now, going to a place to hunt Life Ghosts, she required such serious secrecy?
"Alright." Fang Qingyu immediately nodded without hesitation.
"Okay." Jiang Wei also earnestly nodded her little head.
"Follow me." Wei Banmeng said no more, turning to head towards the edge of the Pocket World Blessed Land, towards a region shrouded in dense Spiritual Energy mist.
Passing through the mist, they suddenly emerged onto a relatively open expanse.
In the center of this open space stood a building with an extremely simple design, made entirely of a matte black metal.
The building was not tall, only one storey, square in shape, without any windows, just a heavy black metal door beside which was an inconspicuous identity verification panel.
The entire building exuded a cold, solid aura, starkly contrasting with the vibrant surroundings of the Pocket World Blessed Land.
"This is the place."
Wei Banmeng approached the door and took out a card, swiping it across the verification panel.
Shhh—
The heavy metal door silently slid inward, revealing a wide staircase also made of black metal, descending below.
A chill swept over them.
"Keep up."
Wei Banmeng stepped in first.
Fang Qingyu held Jiang Wei’s hand and followed closely.
The door closed silently behind them, cutting off the sunlight and vitality of the Pocket World Blessed Land.
The passage was dimly lit, with only faint blue indicator lights embedded in the base of the walls providing weak illumination, while the air grew stifling and oppressive.
Descending the staircase, the slope was gentle, but the depth exceeded all expectations.
They descended for hundreds of meters, passing several heavy alloy gates along the way.
Before each gate stood guards with calm and composed presences.
These guards, at the very least, were at the Peak of Profound Level.
Some of them even had rounded auras, subtly resonating with the surroundings—true Martial Arts Grandmasters!
As soon as Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei appeared, unfamiliar faces among them, these guards’ sharp gazes locked onto them like searchlights, intangible pressure pressing down like a mountain, freezing the air.
"Wei Nephew?"
A stern-faced middle-aged Grandmaster blocked their path, his gaze scanning scrutinizingly over Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei with obvious suspicion and caution.
"Uncle Qin." Wei Banmeng immediately stepped forward, respectfully saluting while quickly saying, "My master has permitted them to enter the lower level."
The Grandmaster called Uncle Qin furrowed his brow, his gaze lingering on Fang Qingyu for a moment as if evaluating something.
Finally, he slowly nodded, stepped aside, and said deeply, "You know the rules. Keep an eye on them."
"Understood, Uncle." Wei Banmeng replied.
Similar scenes played out at the next few checkpoints.
Every time they were scrutinized by the Grandmaster-level guards, Fang Qingyu clearly felt the power and inquiry contained in their gaze.
If not for Wei Banmeng timely invoking "master’s permission" each time, they would have been unable to proceed.
The deeper they went, the more intense the eerie chill in the air became, as if countless cold tentacles were writhing silently in the darkness.
The walls of the passage also transitioned from pure metal to a composite material with dark red Crystal Stone embedded, each Crystal Stone seeming to contain a viscous liquid flowing slowly within, emitting a faint red glow.
