"Normally, relying on sneak attacks won't give you many chances."
Zhang Mingtu sighed. Compared to the ease of killing the previous eight demons, the subsequent two demons took him a lot of time and energy.
The other party was already quite alert and basically did not roam around this area. It took him half a month to kill these two demons.
"But fortunately, that's enough for now."
Although the achievements during this period were not significant, Zhang Mingtu was not discouraged.
His strength and realm are still moving forward firmly and steadily.
The true Qi has completely reached the fourth level of marrow cleansing and blood exchange, which is the peak of the first level of the true essence realm.
The physical body was also polished to perfection during this period, and Tiangang Guiyuan advanced to the fourth level.
Compared with ordinary skills, the speed of practicing Zhang Mingtu's three most advanced skills was much slower.
If other people have master-level cultivation experience and start over, they will have enough resources to help them practice and can reach the peak of the True Essence Realm in a very short time.
Zhang Mingtu's cultivation progress was much slower. On the one hand, it was due to a lack of resources for cultivation. On the other hand, Zhang Mingtu also knew that the most advanced magical skills consumed too many resources.
But Zhang Mingtu was not discouraged. With ordinary first-rate and second-rate cultivation techniques, he could progress very quickly and soon reach the peak of the True Essence Realm, but that was basically the limit.
If one wants to truly achieve the unity of the three elements, energy and spirit, complete perfection, and then have water and fire meet, dragon and tiger work together to become a master, ordinary first- or second-rate skills will not be enough. Even if someone occasionally has the chance to reach the master level with ordinary skills, that's all.
The numerous exercises circulating in the market usually focus on cultivating essence, qi, or spirit. There are very few exercises that can integrate the three elements into one, and only those of truly powerful families have them.
If you only major in one area, you may be able to move forward quickly, but you will soon reach the end of the road.

If you want your future ceiling to be high enough, you must practice high-level skills.
He invested a little more true energy into the rune behind him, and his already extremely fast speed in the water soared by another two points.
"Now the people at the Jiujiang County base should be focusing on me. Perhaps they are working hard to search for the zombies that have transformed into corpses in the Jiujiang River. Xue Cheng should have a peaceful life for a while."
Zhang Mingtu had already considered many issues when he took action. He deliberately pretended to be some kind of demon with sudden psychic powers to mislead the other party's investigation direction, but now it has basically come to an end.
If we really look at the kind of aquatic psychic zombie that Zhang Mingtu pretends to be, it has a fixed range of activities. It is not impossible to expand the search range, but it is easy to break the corresponding regional rules of the demons and expose more information.
"It's really troublesome to handle this matter perfectly."
After killing ten demons in a row, Zhang Mingtu began to understand why many of the top families in Jiangnan would semi-publicly start raising demons after learning that the Country of the Sunrise had a way to raise demons.
He practiced the three most advanced magical skills and killed 10 demons, basically on the verge of promotion.
If ordinary people in the martial arts world can have enough demons to swallow their essence and blood and refine the powerful life essence, their strength will also increase by leaps and bounds.
Top-level masters may be difficult to cultivate, but people at the True Essence realm can be cultivated continuously like planting leeks, and they can really be produced in batches.
The price paid is not much, it is just a "consumable" or an unnecessary "parasite" in the eyes of some people.
Since they are neither willing to work for them nor pay taxes for them, it would be great if these redundant people could make some contribution to them.
"But this is a dead end. I can't choose this. If I continue like this, then what's the difference between me and the person I hated and loathed the most in my previous life?"
Zhang Mingtu didn't know why he was so determined to fight against them. If he could destroy the Jiujiang base and report the situation inside, the credit of knowing how to raise monsters alone would be enough to make him rise to prominence.
The future will be really good, and you can get whatever you want easily.
But Zhang Mingtu was unwilling.
In the eyes of those wealthy families, consumables are not just a string of insignificant and redundant numbers, but a lot of living people.
He was the fisherman who, despite being poor, still spent all his family's wealth to entertain Zhang Mingtu as much as possible;
He was the charcoal seller who, after receiving Zhang Mingtu's kindness, would always leave a basket of the best charcoal for the Fulai Restaurant every time he came to the city to sell charcoal;
It was also Wang Mazi who, because Zhang Mingtu had saved his mother, dug Mingtu out from among the dead in the chaotic battle, risking his own life to save him...
Even more, the extra "consumables" were Zhang Mingtu's parents who had never changed. If we use the standards of aristocratic families, before Zhang Mingtu solved the mystery of Taichung, his parents, including Zhang Mingtu, were also extra consumables and could not create much value.
"Maybe I can take a broad road, and I know I can make it, so I don't want to take this shortcut..."
Zhang Mingtu muttered to himself that Jianyi was already within reach, and his mind was full of random thoughts. When he came to his senses, he was already standing near the Fulai Restaurant. Not far from the Fulai Restaurant was the Ximen Market.
There weren't many people around at this time, as it was almost evening.
The morning market had long passed, and those who came here were all residents from the east side of the city. They took the time to buy some fruits and vegetables at the market to cook at home, or to buy some braised cold dishes at Fulai Restaurant.
However, Fulai Restaurant was still quite busy. As its reputation gradually spread, Fulai Restaurant became lively in the evening, with many people gathering here, especially business people.
The newly brewed Yuhuchun has been improved by the people at home, and the taste is more mellow and rich, but also stronger. Many businessmen like to come here to drink a few jars. It is easier to talk business and more easily to close deals when they are drunk.
Zhang Jishi is busy in the kitchen. After Wang Yulan's dedicated guidance, Zhang Jishi's cooking skills have become excellent, and now he is the chef of many dishes.
It was Wang Yulan who was handling various matters in the hall. Although she was in a harmonious atmosphere, she was also quite majestic in restraining those who made mistakes. When she saw Zhang Mingtu standing aside, a smile suddenly appeared on her face again.
"You must be hungry. I know you have a big appetite. I'll get you something..."
"I didn't."
Before Zhang Mingtutu could finish his words, Wang Yulan had already rushed to the kitchen, turned around, wrapped the food in a large piece of oil paper, and put it into Zhang Mingtu's arms.
"Try this! Your father braised it. Yesterday, your uncle Kili set a trap in the mountains and caught a half-grown wild boar. He was so happy. He hadn't caught a big wild boar in months."
Before she finished speaking, something happened with the guests in the hall, and Wang Yulan rushed over to deal with it.
Zhang Mingtu grinned, and in his arms was a large piece of braised wild boar meat weighing four or five pounds, wrapped in oil paper.
