Time flies. In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Inside the cave, Nangong Shi's body was still the same as usual, without changing at all. However, the light around him had reached its limit. The entire cave was filled with a glaring golden light, akin to a golden ocean.
Buzz.
One day, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the peaceful cave. Following this buzzing sound, the golden light in the cave flashed and all of them entered Nangong Shi's body. In an instant, the cave turned pitch black. And just at this moment, Nangong Shi's eyes slowly opened.
"This is all I can do." Nangong Shi's eyes had a tinge of regret, but what followed after was a comforting smile.
In the end, he still had to rely on the power of the outside world to break through the Indestructible Physical Art. However, in terms of current situation, I am afraid that my physical body is strong enough to withstand an attack from someone who is at the peak of the ninth stage of the Divine Stage of Immortal Grade. Nangong Shi thought, then turned his stiff neck and slowly stood up.
Originally, Nangong Shi had found out from the Indestructible Physical Art's chant, that although the Indestructible Physical Art needed to be cultivated through the chant, the final critical step was to break through using the power of the outside world. And this so-called external force was not just any ordinary external force. After all, the Indestructible Physical Art mainly focused on the body.
Moreover, this last step required a divine fruit. This divine fruit was named Bodhi Fruit. Although Nangong Shi did not know what level of existence this fruit was, he could already feel that his body had reached a certain state, and was unable to take another step forward. If not for the Bodhi fruit, the strength of his body would probably be stuck at his current state for the rest of his life.
However, even so, the strength of Nangong Shi's body had greatly increased. His originally russet skin was now no different from a normal person's. However, beneath the skin, every shred of power contained within flesh and blood was something that caused even Nangong Shi to be secretly shocked. This was a terrifying power that was several times stronger than before.
From the incantations written on the Indestructible Physical Art, one could tell that the body's grade also had a total of nine levels. A mortal's body, in other words, a mortal's body, did not possess much power. And after becoming a Spirit Master, after experiencing the baptism of thunder tribulation, his body had been greatly refined, and the strength of his body had increased by quite a bit. However, most of the Spirit Master's physical bodies were around the sixth floor. This was because, firstly, there were few cultivation techniques on the path of the fleshly body, and secondly, one needed to pay more effort and time to cultivate the path of the fleshly body.
If one wanted to achieve something with his physical body, he would need great perseverance and great luck. Thus, in this continent where the Endless Starfields had a myriad of experts, only the seventh or eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm could reach that level. Among them, the demons and demi-humans were the ones leading the human race. After all, demons and demi-humans mainly focused on the body. Of course, the bodies of the many experts above Divine Beast Continent were also extraordinary. After all, he was born with the spirit beast bloodline.
But Nangong Shi was different. Every time he underwent a tribulation, Nangong Shi's tribulation lightning would far surpass the imagination of an ordinary person. Furthermore, from the very beginning, Nangong Shi had always placed great importance on the cultivation of the flesh. Moreover, with the Elder Mo's meticulous teaching, he had already mastered the way of the body.
"With my current physical body, I'm afraid that even if I were to fight against an expert at the peak of the ninth level, I would still be in an invincible position. Of course, if he had a powerful innate technique, he wouldn't be able to handle it. However, if I can reach the final step, I'm afraid that even if I become a Martial Saint, I won't be afraid. However, I wonder if there are any more Bodhi Fruits in Endless Starfields. "
Nangong Shi muttered, and nodded his head in satisfaction, shaking off the dust on his body, he walked out.
Looking at the clear sky outside the cave, Nangong Shi stretched. Then, with a thought, his figure immediately disappeared.
Outside the walls of the commercial city, Nangong Shi's figure slowly appeared. Looking at the intimidating city walls, Nangong Shi shook his head and slowly walked in.
After entering the city, Nangong Shi headed towards the Merchants Auction House. If one wanted to find out whether or not there were any Bodhi fruit in the Endless Starfields s, asking them was undoubtedly the most effective and direct method. After all, it was said that there was nothing in the Merchant Continent that could not be bought.
"Esteemed customer, is there anything I can help you with?"
Very quickly, Nangong Shi entered the Merchants Auction House. Seeing someone enter, a servant girl immediately walked over and asked.
"I wonder if the noble clans have any Bodhi fruit s for sale? "If there is one, I am willing to pay a high price to buy it." Nangong Shi smiled and asked. He then looked around and nodded slightly. Although the auction had ended, the Merchants Auction House was still crowded with people. It could be seen that the name of the Merchants Auction House was not small.
"Bodhi fruit? Sir, please follow Qing'er. Although Qing'er does not know what kind of Bodhi fruit your esteemed customer is referring to, I believe that Qing'er's superiors should know about it. " The servant girl bowed and said, then turned to lead the way.
Could it be that even the Merchants Auction House did not have such a Bodhi fruit? After Nangong Shi heard this, he secretly frowned. However, he still followed the servant girl who called herself Qing'er inside.
"Esteemed customer, please take a seat for a moment. Qing'er will go ask my superiors right away." Qing'er brought Nangong Shi to one of the rooms before bowing and leaving.
If this Merchants Auction House did not have the Bodhi Fruit, then this trip would be meaningless. If there really was no Bodhi Fruit, he hoped that there would be news regarding the Bodhi Fruit. Nangong Shi secretly thought, he then picked up the tea and waited.
"Esteemed customer, do you need a Bodhi fruit? "Oh right, let me introduce myself. I'm Gao Qiu, the manager of this place." Soon enough, a rough voice could be heard coming from outside the house. Following which, a tall figure walked in.
"That's right. I wonder if there are any Bodhi fruit s? " Nangong Shi looked at the man and nodded immediately. This must be the superior that Lady Qing Er spoke of.
"Esteemed customer, according to your words, I'm afraid you also do not know what this Bodhi Fruit is, right? To be honest, he did have the Bodhi Fruit. However, I am afraid no one in the Endless Starfields is able to take it out. " Gao Qiu said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" After Nangong Shi heard this, he frowned.
"To tell you the truth, this Bodhi fruit must be consumed on the spot after it is harvested. Moreover, if one didn't consume the fruit on the spot and refine it after picking it, it would dissipate in less than two hours. Thus, there was no way to sell it. On this point, the people of Endless Starfields are well-known. Esteemed customer, don't you know? " After Gao Qiu finished speaking, he stared at Nangong Shi.
"So this fruit is so special." I also heard my brothers mention this fruit, so when I came out to gain more experience, I wanted to ask if I could sell it so that I could go back and show off. Who would have thought that this Bodhi Fruit would actually be an existence like this? " Hearing that, Nangong Shi immediately felt the doubt in Gao Qiu's eyes.
"So that's how it is. Presumably, this esteemed guest was also a disciple of a great power. He cultivated at home all year round and rarely went out. No wonder he was able to break through the seventh level of the Spirit Stage of Common Grade at such a young age. In the future, he will definitely become an expert on the same side. " Although there was still a trace of doubt in Gao Qiu's eyes when he heard this, it was much better than before.
"Then I'll be counting on your blessings. Since that's the case, I won't disturb you any further. "Goodbye."
When Nangong Shi heard this, he laughed, but in his heart, he was secretly shocked. This Gao Qiu was actually able to see through his strength with a single glance. However, there was no change in his expression. With that said, Nangong Shi stood up and cupped his hands together. Then, he walked out of the house.
"Wait."
