Early the next morning, Chen Dong first inhaled the stored spiritual energy on Ruyi's belt as before, then inhaled five thousand spiritual stones, and then went out.
Shangyang City was very lively, and there were quite a few people selling cultivation resources. Chen Dong didn't know which one to go to for a while.
After walking around, a familiar name caught his eye: Jiangnan Pavilion.
Previously in Xinyang City, the waiter at Jiangnan Pavilion once said that they have branches all over the country.
Chen Dong had a good shopping experience the first time, so he chose Jiangnan Pavilion again.
After entering Jiangnan Pavilion, Chen Dong first sold the weapons and secret books he had accumulated some time ago and last night in exchange for fifteen thousand spirit stones. Now he has 150,000 spirit stones in his hand.
Then, Chen Dong went to the place where elixirs and medicinal herbs were sold.
In previous battles, Chen Dong tasted the benefits of elixirs, so he bought some more ones that increase strength and speed.
Then, he went on a large purchase of medicinal herbs, spending 70,000 to 80,000 spiritual stones in one go.
These are all needed to practice the "Diamond Body Training Technique".
Practicing this thing not only consumes physical energy, but also consumes money!
This is only the first level of cultivation.
No wonder the disciples of Qingyun Temple are unwilling to practice this.
Chen Dong returned to the hotel and asked the waiter to fetch a bucket of water and put all the herbs in it.
A pool of clear water slowly turned green.
When the effect of the medicine was almost exerted, Chen Dong took off his clothes and gritted his teeth and got in.
Butler Huang had already warned him that it would be painful to practice this thing.
Chen Dong himself was mentally prepared, but the moment he entered the barrel, he still screamed out in pain.
His whole body felt like it was being chopped with knives and axes, and there were ten thousand knives and ten thousand axes!
Pain, pain, pain, pain!
It hurts, hurts, hurts!
Chen Dong's eyes were red, his teeth were bared, and he almost jumped out of the barrel. This kind of pain was simply not something ordinary people could endure!
But he still persevered, his whole body motionless in the barrel, but his screams spread out uncontrollably.
Of course the waiter and other tenants looked surprised and came out one after another to see what was going on.
After determining the source of the sound, the waiter immediately ran up to him, knocked on the door and said, "Sir, how are you?"
Chen Dong has almost adapted to this painful rhythm now, and said with cold sweat dripping from his head: "No... I'm okay?"
The waiter was still worried: "Do you need me to call the doctor for you?"
"No, I'm practicing...don't disturb me..." Chen Dong said weakly.
"Okay, okay, then be careful..." The waiter left.
The so-called "Vajra Strengthening Technique" actually involves using different herbs to soak the body to achieve the effect of "body strengthening".
There are five levels of "Vajra Body Strengthening Technique" in total. The higher you go, the more painful it is and the more money it requires (purchasing herbs).
This is different from Chen Dong on Earth. Chen Dong has multiple identities on Earth, and countless people can help him find herbal medicines with just one order.
But here, he can only buy it honestly, and he doesn't know how much time it will take to find it by himself.
The first level of the "Vajra Body Forging Technique" alone almost cost Chen Dong half of his life. However, from the pain at the beginning, he gradually adapted to it and finally stopped shouting so as not to disturb the people.
Just like that, another day and night passed.
The green water in the barrel gradually became clear again.
Those medicinal effects were obviously absorbed by Chen Dong.
When Chen Dong jumped out of the barrel, he really felt that his body had strengthened a lot. Both his skin and bones seemed to be harder than before, and his whole body seemed to have been reborn.
"It's interesting!" Chen Dong was delighted, all the pain was worth it!
Try to see how many spirit stones you can absorb now!
Chen Dong put on his clothes, took out the spirit stone and began to absorb it.
This time, he absorbed six thousand spirit stones!
One thousand more is not bad, Chen Dong nodded secretly.
At the same time, he also successfully broke through to the late third-level realm of divine connection.
Chen Dong wanted to continue practicing the second level of "Diamond Body Training Technique" in one go, but unfortunately he didn't have enough money.
Purchasing the herbs required for the second level requires at least 150,000 spirit stones!
Seeing that he only had tens of thousands of spiritual stones left, Chen Dong sighed in despair.
You still have to find a way to make more money.
Chen Dong returned to Qingyun Temple and handed in the task, and received five thousand spirit stones.
Then, he continued to receive other tasks without stopping.
With his rich combat experience, after running around for half a month, the number of spiritual stones finally reached 200,000. During this period, he killed several more people, and his level also rose to the peak of level four.
On this day, he bought the herbs needed to practice the second level of "Vajra Body Forging Technique".
The pain at this level is five times that of the first level.
As tough as Chen Dong, he howled for a full two hours before he gradually got used to it.
One night passed, and the second level of "Vajra Body Training Technique" was also completed.
Needless to say, my body seems to have strengthened a lot.
Now, he can completely withstand attacks of a level higher than his own.
If you absorb spiritual stones again, you can already absorb up to 8,000 yuan in a single day.
Beautiful! Perfect!
The fourth sword of Xuantian Sword Technique, of course, came into being.
Now Chen Dong estimates that he won't have much trouble dealing with a fifth-level spiritual master, and he might be able to fight against a sixth-level spiritual master!
Chen Dong did not stay and returned to Qingyun Temple, hoping to take on the next task.
As a result, the deacon of the mission pavilion was speechless and said: "Little brother, you have been doing missions for half a month, don't you feel tired?"
Chen Dong smiled and said: "I don't feel tired, I just like making money."
The deacon shrugged: "You can't do it unless you are tired. There are no more suitable tasks for you."
Chen Dong took a look and realized it was true.
There are no more tasks suitable for his level. Others are either too high or too low.
The deacons of the Task Pavilion also have to evaluate whether they can take on a certain task. They will not let disciples die in vain, nor will high-level people take advantage of low-level opportunities.
"Come back in a few days, maybe there will be a task suitable for you."
Chen Dong had no choice but to return to his thatched house.
Ruyi wears it and stores a little more spiritual energy, which can be absorbed first.
With a "squeak" sound, the door was pushed open, and Pang Chengye walked in.
"Senior Brother Chen!" Pang Chengye came to Chen Dong.
Since entering the outer gate of Qingyun Temple, the two of them have been assigned to different deacons, and there are actually very few opportunities to get along with each other.
In addition, Chen Dong travels here and there every day, going out to do tasks, rarely going to the square, and rarely seeing anyone.
Pang Chengye finally got the chance to meet Chen Dong.
"What's the matter?" Chen Dong asked.
"Senior Brother Chen, let me ask you something, you...don't be angry..." Pang Chengye lowered his head and said with a complex expression: "That night in the cave, what happened to you and Junior Sister Bai...?"
Hearing this question, Chen Dong almost spit out blood!
How long has it been since then, and Pang Chengye is still worrying about the cave?
Chen Dong couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Nothing really happened between me and your junior sister. It was pitch dark in the cave that night. I was busy healing my wounds and practicing my martial arts."
When Pang Chengye heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior Brother Chen, I feel relieved when you say that! I have never dared to ask Junior Sister for fear of her being angry! But to be honest, I believe in both your character and Junior Sister
principles, but I still want to hear what you say with my own ears..."
As he spoke, Pang Chengye waved his hand, and several small boxes appeared.
The box is full of spiritual stones.
Fifty thousand in total!
"This is..." Chen Dong looked surprised.
"Senior Brother Chen, my junior sister and I are practicing in Qingyun Temple. My father-in-law has given us the greatest support. In addition, he knew that you protected us from death at the hands of Gong Hu, so he specially sent someone to send 50,000 spirit stones.
, said I would give it to you as a thank you gift."
"If that's the case, then I'm welcome!"
Chen Dong smiled and accepted the fifty thousand spirit stones.
Now he is extremely short of money, and the medicinal herbs required to practice the third level of "Diamond Body Forging Technique" have reached 300,000 spiritual stones.
Including the 50,000 spirit stones given by Pang Chengye, Chen Dong only has 100,000 spirit stones now, and there is still a huge funding gap of 200,000.
"Senior Brother Chen, I heard that you have been doing tasks recently?" Pang Chengye asked again.
"Yes, I want to earn more spiritual stones, but there is no suitable task for me right now," Chen Dong said.
"In that case, come with us to the square to practice. There is quite a lot of spiritual energy there."
"good."
Since Chen Dong entered Qingyun Temple, he has never practiced Kung Fu in the square. He always feels that the effect is definitely not as good as Lingshi and Ruyipei, and it cannot satisfy his eagerness to upgrade.
Now there is no other choice but to go to the square.
The square at the outer gate of Qingyun Temple is really big. Thousands of people gather here, but they don't feel crowded. The area for everyone is quite relaxed.
Thousands of disciples in the outer sect are all sitting in meditation and practicing Qi, and from time to time there are deacons walking back and forth.
The fifty-seven newly recruited disciples were all at the edge of the square.
Chen Dong and Pang Chengye came here, and everyone greeted Chen Dong warmly.
Although Chen Dong has never been to this place, he is still the most popular among the new disciples.
Especially Bai Feichen was happy to see Chen Dong.
"Hello everyone." Chen Dong responded with a smile and sat down with Pang Chengye.
I have to say that the spiritual energy in the square is indeed strong.
For ordinary disciples, this amount of spiritual energy is barely enough, but for Chen Dong, who absorbs Ruyi Pei and eight thousand spiritual stones every day, such a small amount of spiritual energy is really not enough to fill his teeth.
If you practice Qi here, you will be able to level up in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!
After Chen Dong practiced for a while, he became irritable and didn't want to waste time here.
He stood up and walked around the square boredly.
In the square, there are ten ancient locust trees of different sizes.
Chen Dong walked under one of the big locust trees and suddenly found that the aura here was extremely rich, at least twice as strong as that of Bai Feichen, Pang Chengye and the others!
The key is that this big locust tree is still empty, no one is practicing here.
Chen Dong immediately shouted excitedly to Bai Feichen and the others: "Come here, the spiritual energy here is much richer!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around him turned around and looked at Chen Dong in surprise and shock.
Even Bai Feichen, Pang Chengye and others had frightened and fearful expressions on their faces.
"Chen...Senior Brother Chen...come back soon..." Pang Chengye said tremblingly.
