Although the three Jindan cultivators did not expect that the body cultivator would carry a magical weapon, they were not worried.
Physical cultivators are not good at using magic weapons.
"If you leave the storage bag behind, we'll let you go." Monks from major sects often have some hidden treasures. It's better to be safe than sorry. If Xie Qiu desperately tried to resort to some suicidal tactic, it would be a loss.
The most powerful aspect of a physical cultivator is their body. While they possess spiritual power, it is significantly less than that of an average cultivator. Seeing that Xie Qiu was already at the end of his strength, if his magical weapon was useful, why would he wait until now to use it?
The three of them were concentrating their attention on Xie Qiu, but they did not receive a response from Xie Qiu, nor did they wait for the attack from the magic weapon.
Xie Qiu summoned two small array-type magic weapons. Someone didn't know what he did, but a spell was emitted from the center of each magic weapon, but the spell didn't attack them, but instead fell on Xie Qiu.
It was obvious that there was something strange about these two spells, and for a moment, both sides were in a stalemate.
But within a few breaths, one of the three Jindan cultivators discovered something was wrong: "His wound is healing!"
With that, the Jindan cultivator summoned his flying sword and attacked Xie Qiu. No matter what method Xie Qiu used to heal his wounds, they needed to capture him before he fully healed.
Xie Qiu dodged and slammed his natal flying sword. The sword hummed with a mournful cry and instantly became dim.
The Jindan cultivator's face turned pale as his natal flying sword was damaged. He sent a message to his two companions, "I wonder what method this body cultivator used? He's even stronger than before!"
"If you force yourself to improve your cultivation, the user will be extremely weak after the effect wears off. Just bear with it!"
While the three of them were communicating, Xie Qiu's wounds continued to heal. He summoned up all his strength and began to defeat them one by one.
The physical cultivator who gained the ability to repair his body was like a cheat. His every move was so powerful that it was difficult to break through. Now he relied on his ability to recover on his own and fought with every blow he made.
The three Jindan cultivators did not have any life-and-death friendship, so after this back and forth, one of the cultivators left the other two and escaped.
Now, the remaining two people were also distraught. Not long after, another one escaped.
The pressure on Xie Qiu suddenly dropped. It was not difficult for him to deal with ordinary cultivators on a normal day. With the help of the physical strengthening technique, he took down the last person in just half a cup of tea.
Only then did Xie Qiu take a closer look at the other person's appearance.
This Jindan cultivator was one of the people who ambushed and attacked him in the cave. Normally, after a cultivator entered the cultivation realm, their appearance would remain youthful, but Xie Qiu could tell from this man's appearance that he was old.
The Jindan cultivator begged for mercy, saying he had been misled by the other two and that he had done such a thing. It was simply because his lifespan was drawing to a close that he had misjudged them.
"I will give you all I have earned in these days, as well as all my savings."
The Jindan cultivator felt relieved. Seeing Xie Qiu's silence, he knew something was up. The Jinyan Sect's cultivators loved spirit stones. Even the most stubborn would become easygoing at the mention of them. Furthermore, these prestigious sects often enforced strict rules on their disciples, so most wouldn't resort to killing one of their own kind.
Sure enough, not long after, the Jindan cultivator saw Xie Qiu nod silently. Then, he took out the storage bags he and the two men had robbed one by one, waiting for Xie Qiu to come and take them, and then he...
Suddenly, the Jindan cultivator felt a pain in his body, and the connection between his soul and body was severed.
The soul that floated away did not escape far before it was caught by Xie Qiu.
He looked panicked: "Why..." Before he could even ask the question, his soul was wiped out by Xie Qiu.
Xie Qiu said nothing as he silently picked up the scattered storage bags one by one. Cultivation was not easy; a storage bag was a cultivator's life.
They are from the Golden Flame Sect, practicing physical cultivation, and they do things with conscience.
After putting away the storage bag, Xie Qiu found a secluded place nearby to set up a ban, and then sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.
It had been a close call just now. He was indeed, as those people had thought, already at the end of his strength. This was because he had suffered two sneak attacks from Jindan cultivators at the very beginning of the battle.
Later, he fought against three Jindan cultivators alone, which consumed a lot of energy.
Fortunately, I was able to obtain the two magical treasures and the healing techniques rented out by the Healing Inn. Otherwise, he would have vanished into the Pure Spirit Realm, his presence unknown. Thinking about it now, I still feel a little uneasy.
…
Eryi discovered that the treatment station's business seemed to be going in the wrong direction. According to her idea, she actually hoped to sell the treatment station's products to a variety of people and spread the station's reputation through their mouths.
But now, most of the goods put on the shelves every day are snatched up by various chambers of commerce, and recently there is one more person who likes to wait and see for flash sales.
He was a tall male cultivator whose figure and clothing were different from those of ordinary cultivators.
He didn't buy anything else, but just focused on buying healing spells and alias strengthening spells to increase his combat power every day.
This person is Xie Qiu.
After the battle ended that day, he found a place to regulate his breathing, partly to restore his strength, and partly to cope with the weakness that might result from the disappearance of the effects of the physical strengthening technique.
As a result, even after half a day had passed after all the effects disappeared, he still didn't notice anything wrong with him.
This discovery shocked him.
In fact, as long as it is a first-rate sect, there will be techniques in the sect’s library that can be learned to improve cultivation in a short period of time, and the Golden Flame Sect is no exception.
Furthermore, because they were physical cultivators, they could withstand much stronger backlash than ordinary cultivators. Forcibly increasing their cultivation was a must for them.
Xie Qiu roughly calculated that if he used this method from his sect to forcibly improve his cultivation to the level of a physical strengthening technique, he would be unable to use any other techniques for at least three days afterwards, and would drop a small realm within a month.
This is still relatively light.
"I didn't expect that a medical practitioner could achieve this level."
However, compared to the physical strengthening techniques that were seldom used in daily life, Xie Qiu preferred healing techniques.
Pills with similar effects are priced similarly to healing spells, and may also contain poison, and their recovery is not as fast as healing spells. Healing spells not only heal wounds quickly but also alleviate pain to a certain extent, making them ideal for physical cultivators.
As a result, Xie Qiu's hoarding habit came back again.
As a stingy Jinyan Sect cultivator, he had quite a few spirit stones, enough to buy as much as he wanted.
Before he could stock up, the Healing Station not only limited the number of items on the shelves but also implemented purchase restrictions. Each person could only purchase one item at the Healing Station per day. This left him struggling daily over which medical technique to use this limited purchase opportunity for.
…
Eryi began to deal with the issue of recruiting employees.
She hadn't expected that after the Healing Inn posted the recruitment notice, the number of applicants lining up would almost rival the number of people recruiting disciples at a top-tier sect. This led Eryi to believe for a moment that she had made a typo in the salary column.
Three low-grade spirit stones and one bottle of spirit-replenishing elixir per month. This was the same for all cultivators, regardless of their level. While this might be decent for casual Qi-refining cultivators, it wasn't enough for those at the Foundation Establishment stage or above.
The worst part was that not only were almost all the Qi-refining cultivators in Shanhai City trying to get a job at the treatment station, but even Foundation Establishment cultivators and even a few Golden Core cultivators wanted to work there.
There is a reason for this.
The cultivators in Shanhai City speculated on Eryi's cultivation level based on various signs, and concluded that he was at least at the out-of-body state.
Out-of-body power!
Even now, after the growth of spiritual energy, the Out-of-Body Realm was still an insurmountable mountain in the world of cultivation. Throughout the world of cultivation, only the heads of top-tier sects and a few elders had reached this level of cultivation.
Further up, there are several people who stand at the top of the entire Qingling Realm and have the hope of ascending.
Everyone speculated about Eryi's cultivation through various channels, one of which was from the store employees. With more conversation, there was a chance of slipping up, and Eryi hadn't forbidden them from spreading rumors about the store's employee benefits. It wasn't long before everyone knew that working at the treatment station offered Eryi personal instruction in cultivation techniques.
It's incredible.
You know, in the world of cultivation, the easiest things to brag about are spiritual roots and one's master. Even if one has the same master, the treatment they receive from different cultivators will vary.
In an ordinary sect, if anyone can become a disciple of a great Yuanying master, it will be enough for his descendants to brag about for eighteen generations.
If one could become a disciple of a powerful being who has reached the state of leaving the body... who would dare to think about it?
But now it was different. If one entered the healing station, they would receive personal guidance from a powerful being. Rounding it off, it would be considered as a disciple of a powerful being who had reached the state of out-of-body experience.
Made a fortune.
