Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration - Chapter 104

A while later, after drinking several bottles of strong wine, the alcohol smell in the quiet room slowly faded away, and was absorbed back into the body of Tang Yan.

After several Qi Circulations, the Liquor Fire Sword Song finally revitalized his exhausted Dao Foundation.

Under the continuous nourishment of endless spiritual qi, it would probably not be long before he could completely recover or even advance a step further.

But before that, Jiang Li had to do something.

“Burning Rainbow! Come!”

The flying sword that was placed at the side flew over and landed in Tang Yan’s hand.

Without hesitation, Tang Yan opened his palm, and a ball of spirit fire that carried a strong fragrance of wine appeared. It completely enveloped the flying sword and burned fiercely.

Not only was the crimson sword not damaged because of this, but it also began to tremble excitedly.

How could a fire-attribute flying sword be afraid of fire?

Under the burning of the Liquor Spirit Fire, the curved sword body was currently recovering bit by bit. The chip that was created by the Zombie Core and Golden Core of the zombie demon was also slowly recovering to a flat state under the infusion of a large amount of spiritual qi.

Jiang Li stood at the side while holding the spirit rune carving knife. From time to time, he would reach his hand into the spirit fire and draw a mark on the sword.

The spirit runes engraved on the flying sword were abnormally complicated, as if it was a high-grade technique to draw out the cloud runes on the refinement material itself.

With Jiang Li’s current level, he still could not understand it. However, his talent in spirit rune carving was indeed not bad. He could still reconnect a few broken marks according to the original lines.

After roughly four hours, after Jiang Li sacrificed the sleeve of his right hand, the broken spirit runes were finally repaired.

The spirit runes on the flying sword also began to glow with a faint red light.

However, the chip in the sword did not recover so quickly.

After all, it was created by the Zombie Core of a Golden Core zombie demon. It was fortunate that it did not break into two pieces.

Jiang Li roughly calculated in his heart. According to this speed, it would at least be around seven days before the sword would recover to its original state.

However, the cost of sustaining this spirit fire for seven days was definitely not something that an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator could withstand. They would definitely need to use spirit stones.

Just repairing this flying sword required so many spirit stones that an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would probably go bankrupt several times.

However, for Jiang Li, it was fine if it took a longer time. He did not lack spiritual qi.

He temporarily stopped a portion of the spiritual qi that flowed towards the Yin Burial Coffin and Dragon Imprisoning Lock, and instead transferred it to the body of the sword cultivator, Tang Yan.

Double the spiritual qi and double the spirit fire naturally meant double the effect. In this way, it would only take more than three days to completely repair this sword.

He could still afford to wait three days.

The only problem now was that this room was getting hotter and hotter. He could not stay here any longer. He had to find another place to cultivate.

…

A few days later, Jiang Li arrived at the hall of the Demon Vanquishing Hall early in the morning. However, it was not that unlucky Qi Refinement realm senior brother who was waiting for him today.

It was a tall, dark-skinned senior sister.

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment before jumping onto the arena.

“Senior Sister, you are?”

Jiang Li had never seen this senior sister in the sect. However, the bright red tattoo on her neck made Jiang Li have some guesses about her identity.

However, the other party did not answer Jiang Li’s question, and she just sized Jiang Li up.

“You’re Jiang Li?” The female cultivator asked in a somewhat rude tone.

Jiang Li nodded in agreement, but he did not say anything else. He just stood there without moving or saying anything.

This senior sister in front of him had such an expression as soon as she met him. It was not pleasant and this was also not the way Jiang Li liked to interact with people.

Most of the time, the way people interacted with each other was set by the moment they met for the first time. So, in order to not suffer such cold treatment in the future, Jiang Li decided that he could not let the other party put on airs.

He was not interested in sucking up to others. The other party seemed to be used to the praises of others anyway. It was as if she would not respond unless someone started fawning over her.

Therefore, the atmosphere turned cold. The two of them stood there and stared at each other for a long time.

Jiang Li was expressionless, but in his heart, he sized up the female cultivator’s appearance with interest.

Although she was tall, her defined and explosive muscles were still vaguely visible under her clothes.

This might be a body cultivator who was more specialized in agility.

Cultivation in movement techniques had always been Jiang Li’s sore point. Clearly, all the other cultivation aspects were going smoothly, but only this aspect of movement technique caused Jiang Li to go mad.

Alright, his other cultivation went smoothly because of the statuses.

However, physical technique was most important in training movement techniques, so it did not benefit much from the statuses. Instead, his overly fast speed made him easily flustered and was an obstruction instead.

Judging from her aura, her cultivation level was not only at the Qi Refinement realm. If the opponent’s speed was not inferior to his, he would be at a loss against such an agile opponent.

The awkward stalemate continued for a few minutes. Jiang Li was calm, but the other party was clearly not a social person.

Under her dark skin, a flush of blood was quickly rising. Clearly, there was still some social anxiety in her.

Jiang Li nodded to himself and ended the awkward confrontation.

“Senior Sister, you must be Master’s disciple, right? I’ve been under Master’s tutelage for a long time and haven’t gone to greet you. I’m really sorry about that.”

When interacting with this kind of arrogant, pampered, and slightly socially awkward senior sister, one had to first start an awkward conversation and remove some of her overbearing aura.

He could not give in to the other party’s rhythm. Otherwise, it would be too late to turn the tables in the future.

Jiang Li’s words were polite and powerful, and he took some initiative and position in their conversation.

The senior sister opposite him seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

Jiang Li was her junior brother in the end. It was impossible for her to start a conflict without distinguishing right from wrong, and she was afraid of falling into that sort of awkward conversation again, so she could only temporarily put aside her thoughts of establishing her senior sister’s dignity.

When she opened her mouth again, her tone could not help but ease up.

“Yes, I’m Liu Mulan. You can call me Senior Sister Liu in the future.”

The other party introduced herself simply. Her name sounded manly.

“Alright, Senior Sister Mulan.” Jiang Li politely called out, causing Senior Sister Mulan to choke.

She wanted to refute him that she was “Senior Sister Liu”, but it seemed that she could not find any fault with Jiang Li’s way of calling her. If she deliberately emphasized it, it would be as if she was looking for trouble.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, Senior Sister Mulan still acquiesced to this title.

As for Jiang Li, he had unknowingly made the other party give in slightly.

It was a trick to create a “friendly” social scene in the future.

“I heard Master recently took in a new disciple, it seems your talent in body cultivation is not bad.”

“What’s your current cultivation level?”

Senior Sister Mulan took a few steps forward. The wind beneath her feet blew, and in a few flashes, she arrived in front of Jiang Li.

Alright, it was exactly the same as Elder He’s actions back then. Both of them stretched out their hands to pinch him. Could this be the special greeting method used by body cultivators?

“Junior Brother’s talent is mediocre. Currently, for both Qi Refinement and body refinement, I am only at the mid-stage.”

Jiang Li moved his feet and evaded the other party’s palm before continuing to ask.

“Senior Sister Mulan, where has Master been recently? I haven’t seen Master for more than a month now. I miss him so much.”

When he said this, Jiang Li felt extremely disgusted by himself.

However, the true reason was that the Lunar Bear Tattoo on Jiang Li’s back was about to vanish. Jiang Li was still hoping that Elder He would return and get him a third tattoo.

That jar of medicinal soup was too expensive, and Jiang Li did not know how to mix it himself.

“Master has an important matter to deal with and can’t return to the valley for the time being. He asked me to come back this time to teach you on his behalf and guide your next step in cultivation.”

Since the Head Elder of the Demon Vanquishing Hall had to go out for so long, things must be serious.

Could it be that another demon had appeared outside? Forget it, he was only in the Qi Refinement realm and could not care about this. His current goal was to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Since this senior sister had specially returned, she should also know how to make the medicinal soup. He should be able to obtain his next blood tattoo soon.

However, in the next moment, a small fist carried a vicious wind as it struck directly at Jiang Li’s head.

Bang!

Jiang Li raised his hand and blocked the fist.

It felt stiff to the touch, but the force that came from it was not great. It should be that the other party had underestimated Jiang Li’s strength and had deliberately reduced her strength.

“Senior Sister, what are you doing?” Jiang Li asked in surprise.

“Since we are disciples of the Demon Vanquishing Hall, exterminating demons is naturally the best cultivation style. However, your cultivation is still shallow and your strength is too weak. I’m not sure if you will be safe when following me around.”

“If you can take three of my punches without falling off the arena, I’ll bring you out of the valley.”

“This is the first punch!”

Like teacher, like disciple. Could it be that his other senior brothers and sisters were also so violent?

The fist that was blocked by Jiang Li suddenly exerted strength again. From the small fist, a tsunami-like force surged over. Jiang Li was caught off guard and was pushed back.

“Second punch!”

Jiang Li finally managed to adjust his center of gravity and barely stopped at the edge of the arena. However, before he could do anything, Senior Sister Mulan had already arrived before him like a shadow.

If he was struck by this punch, he would definitely be sent flying. However, it was already too late to dodge.

Pew!

Jiang Li was quick-witted and spat out a mouthful of spiritual qi. The Yin-attribute spiritual qi sprayed onto the other party’s face. Senior Sister Mulan’s vision was obstructed, and she instinctively closed her eyes.

Jiang Li seized the opportunity to lower his body and dodge the fist, and then he used the momentum to use his Mountain Crushing Demon Ape. He used his tempered shoulders to fiercely smash into the other party’s chest and abdomen.

Bang!

Amidst the muffled sound of collision, Jiang Li pushed his opponent back, creating two deep ravines on the rocky ground.

However… it did not send her flying!

Jiang Li cursed in his heart. This senior sister was definitely a body cultivator at the Foundation Establishment realm. Her strength was not inferior to his and was even stronger than him.

Without accelerating to accumulate force, the power of the Mountain Crushing Scripture was not enough to form an advantage.

“Junior Brother, your strength is quite impressive.”

Senior Sister Mulan held Jiang Li’s shoulder with one hand, preventing him from escaping. After rubbing her chest with the other hand, she clenched her fist and raised it high.

Boom!

Rocks shattered and dust surged. In a depression in the ground, Jiang Li held his head and grimaced in pain.
