"Wait for me a moment, we'll go to that village together! Maybe we'll even find transportation!"
As Jiang Yuan spoke, he pointed to a house not far away. He hoped to find a truck there, as it would be much easier to break through the checkpoint if there was a large vehicle.
As for now, he is definitely going to cultivate the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique.
"Jiang Yuan, you haven't awakened your spirit yet. Why don't you swallow a Holy Spirit Stone first?" Ning Yanlan didn't know that this guy hadn't awakened his spirit before, but now that she knew, she started to think about him.
Jiang Yuan had already made an incision in the Blood-bellied Eagle's belly with his Tang sword, and reached inside to begin cultivating the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique. "I think one or two Holy Spirit Stones are far from enough to awaken my spirit. I'd better save the Holy Spirit Stones for opening the core!"
His progress in awakening his spiritual energy is only 10 per thousand so far. The resources needed to complete the awakening are unimaginable. He even wondered if his talent was one of those rare, useless people in novels, otherwise why would it be so difficult to break through a realm?
Shouldn't geniuses break through barriers as easily as drinking water? Only good-for-nothings get stuck at a minor realm for years or even decades.
Ning Yanlan frowned. She had only just broken through to the first level of spiritual energy and didn't know much about what spiritual awakening was, so she had no objection when Jiang Yuan refused.
Jiang Yuan gradually discovered the relationship between the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique and the progress of Spirit Awakening. It seemed that when he absorbed the power of the Blood Belly Eagle, the progress of Spirit Awakening would slowly increase, but the increase was negligible.
He guessed that this was related to the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique, because the power of the Blood Belly Eagle that he absorbed was completely supplied to the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique, and this also explained why the progress of the Spirit Awakening last time increased inexplicably.
It must have been because he absorbed the Firehound's power when he was pinned down last time, which caused his Spirit Awakening progress to advance by leaps and bounds.
"No, we need to test it first!"
Such a conjecture must be verified. The Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique was interrupted, and after absorbing it for half a minute, he was overjoyed because his Spirit Awakening progress had increased by one, and it was now eleven per thousand.
"Comfortable!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but shout it out, but Ning Yanlan next to him quickly covered his mouth, "Jiang Yuan, keep your voice down, or the monster will come over!"
"Uh!" Jiang Yuan smiled awkwardly after regaining his senses.
Ning Yanlan then released her grip and whispered, "How much longer? Those monsters are starting to stir!"
"Almost there!" Jiang Yuan stopped the spirit awakening process.
The Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique brought him a more significant boost, while the increased progress in Spirit Awakening did not directly improve his combat power.
Previously, the breakthrough condition for the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique was ten first-tier holy spirits, including holy spirit stones. However, so far he has only absorbed the essence of the flesh of one giant grass lizard, without even absorbing a holy spirit stone. But this one lizard alone has given him a power increase of nearly 0.4 points of energy. He can imagine how terrifying his power will be when the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique reaches the first tier.
Jiang Yuan originally thought that the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique, a product with no official name, was not as powerful as he had imagined, but his opinion had completely changed. He had fought against first-tier monsters several times, so if he were to make an estimate of the monsters...
First-tier monsters have a strength range of one to ten, but most have a strength of around two. Only monsters with a very large racial advantage can reach a strength of five or more. For example, the Fire Ripple Hound, which was awakened from a Pastoral Dog, has a strength of around five, while the mutated big cat and the Iron Blade Mantis have a strength of only two. The difference between them is very large.
Compared to humans, monsters are significantly stronger. Many humans are considered to be at least qualified if they reach level two in strength at the first level. After all, humans excel in intelligence, and it is unwise to compare strength with wild beasts.
"Identified by the Heavenly Eye!"
"Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique (Fragment)! First-tier progress achieved: 55%!"
When the essence of the Blood-Bellied Eagle's flesh and blood was refined, the data provided by the Heavenly Eye made Jiang Yuan somewhat unwilling.
Previously, it was said that ten first-tier holy spirits were to be refined. Now, one first-tier elite monster and one second-tier lord monster are being refined. In theory, the difference is not significant, but it is still nearly halfway to reach the first-tier level in terms of physical body.
"Could it be because I haven't refined the Holy Spirit Stone?" Jiang Yuan wondered to himself.
"What's wrong?" Ning Yanlan noticed Jiang Yuan's expression.
"Yanlan, do you know if someone who hasn't awakened their spirit can consume a second-tier Holy Spirit Stone?" Jiang Yuan asked, voicing his doubts.
"I don't know!" Ning Yanlan shook her head and continued, "Currently, the warlords in the safe zone belong to the South City Wolf Army. They are buying up Holy Spirit Stones on a large scale, which means that many people don't have the opportunity to come into contact with Holy Spirit Stones, so naturally very few people are refining them!"
“However, I don’t think it will work. The difference in energy levels is too great for the body to accept, and a transition period is needed!” Ning Yanlan added.
