Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration - Chapter 129

Without any surprise, Jiang Li won the battle. However, as the competition continued to progress, the fights in the other arenas became more and more intense.

All sorts of mystical spell techniques appeared one after another. They were truly marvelous.

Jiang Li stood on the flying ship and watched. He had already discovered several disciples with dual-attribute spiritual roots in a row. He had even discovered a Qi Refinement realm disciple with a variant lightning attribute spiritual root.

That lightning attribute spiritual root disciple looked to be around 18 or 19 years old. Lightning flickered on his palms, and as soon as he went on stage, he unleashed the Five Heart Lightning. Whoever faced him was quite unlucky.

It could be said that in the entire Qi Refinement realm arena, besides Jiang Li’s side, the fastest to win the round was him.

According to others, this person’s experience in life was comparable to a child of providence.

It was said that he was once an orphan who did not have enough to eat or wear. He was picked up by an elder by chance.

At first, they only thought that he was a seedling with spiritual root aptitude. Seeing that he was pitiful, they brought him back to take a look.

If his aptitude was good, they could take him under their wing. If he was tested to have a medium-grade and below spiritual root, he could have a good life in the outer sect.

However, they did not expect to test that he had a high-grade aptitude, and it was a variant lightning attribute spiritual root!

This variant attribute spiritual root was not on the same level as a dual-attribute spiritual root.

It possessed powerful might and unpredictable spell techniques that could often crush cultivators of the same level.

As a result, the cultivation world generally tacitly agreed that a variant spiritual root could directly raise the potential by one level.

This point could be seen from Elder Duan Shuang’s performance back then. He could still persist for so long despite facing the lightning tribulation.

Duan Shuang, who was thought to be a genius and the backbone of the Demon Vanquishing Hall, had a variant ice attribute spiritual root.

The lightning spiritual root specialized in killing while the ice spiritual root specialized in defense. This lightning spiritual root cultivator was probably even more terrifying in the arena.

After the second round of fights ended, that senior brother with a lightning spiritual root suddenly raised his head from the platform and glanced at Jiang Li. The gazes of the two of them almost collided in the air.

If this continued, then the two of them would clash sooner or later. Clearly, both sides were extremely confident in their own strength.

After the second round ended, half of the 166 Qi Refinement realm disciples would be eliminated on the fourth day.

Jiang Li waved his hand and parted ways with his fellow disciples. He did not return to the Demon Vanquishing Hall with them but walked casually through the sect.

He wanted to see if he could maintain his mobility while executing the Overlord Body Art.

He was different from ordinary cultivators. Apart from his own strength, his legs also contained the power of the Ancient Armored Horse Talisman.

If his feet could not move, could he move using the power of the armored horse?

It was not entirely impossible to release a portion of the Armored Horse Divine Travel’s power.

Jiang Li tried to use it as he walked. Along the way, he stumbled occasionally. He either stepped on the ground to create a hole, or jumped seven to eight meters high into the sky.

Not only was his speed extremely slow, but his actions also looked strange and weird.

Jiang Li paid no attention to the gazes of the others. With his status as the Head Elder’s disciple of the Demon Vanquishing Hall, no one would look for trouble with him because of the pits on the ground.

Unknowingly, Jiang Li arrived at the outer sect.

His appearance attracted even more attention.

In the last two rounds of the martial arts competition, Jiang Li’s performance was very eye-catching. He defeated his opponents cleanly and quickly. There was even one opponent who was frightened and took the initiative to surrender.

As a new disciple, he was one of the only two mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivators participating in the Martial Competition. Jiang Li’s performance undoubtedly showed that he was a huge dark horse.

Now that Jiang Li had appeared here, he was naturally recognized by many people. However, due to their inherent impression of inner sect disciples, they moved far away from Jiang Li and did not dare to disturb him at all.

Apart from… a group of people.

Since he had come to the outer sect, Jiang Li intended to go see the outer sect graveyard that had once assisted him in Qi Refinement and provided great help to his early-stage cultivation.

It was already quite late in the day, but Jiang Li saw living people here, unexpectedly.

Eight outer sect disciples were sitting or lying on a tombstone at the edge of the outer sect graveyard. Their eyes were hollow and their faces were filled with a satisfied smile that made people feel uncomfortable.

They were not cleaning the tombstones, nor were they disciples who had accepted the sect’s corpse burying mission.

What were they doing…?

Jiang Li looked at them and felt that something was not right. He went forward with a strange feeling.

“Hey! What are you looking at! Who let you come over!”

“Get lost! Get lost immediately! Otherwise, we’ll kill you!”

“Get lost! No, you still have to compensate us! Hand over all the spirit stones on you! Otherwise, we’ll bury you together with this guy under our feet!”

There were eight outer sect disciples sitting or lying around the tombstones, six men and two women. Their faces looked as pale as paper and their eyes were sunken. All of them looked like they had been physically expended.

At first, their eyes were hollow and their bodies did not move at all. If not for their heaving chests, Jiang Li would have thought that they were actually dead.

However, they seemed to be extremely sensitive to all changes in the outside world, be it light or sound.

When Jiang Li approached, some sounds came from beneath his feet and a bit of sunlight was blocked out. These eight outer sect disciples immediately became anxious and uneasy.

Their chests heaved violently, as if Jiang Li had committed a grave sin by approaching them. They felt extremely angry at him.

The two male disciples stood up first and shouted at Jiang Li while cursing.

Then, the noise completely woke up the other six people. All of them stood up and shouted at Jiang Li to get lost. One of the female cultivators even wanted Jiang Li to hand over all the spirit stones he had and planned to rob him before letting him leave.

Jiang Li lowered his head and looked at the clothes on his body. It was indeed the white inner sect disciple uniform.

Did these eight people take the wrong medicine? What nerves did they have?

They actually dared to speak to him like this, and they even wanted to rob an inner sect senior brother?

Were they afraid that the seniors in the outer sect graveyard would be lonely, so they wanted to go and accompany them?

“Such insolence!”

Jiang Li waved his right hand, and Yin-Wood attribute spiritual qi formed eight palms that slapped the eight people who were still howling madly.

A series of slaps sounded. The eight people were directly slapped flying by the spiritual qi palm. They turned 720 degrees in the air before falling to the ground.

Their cheeks were puffed up, and blood flowed out of one ear, eye, and nose. None of them could remain conscious.

‘Eh? What is this?’

After teaching them a lesson, Jiang Li saw two porcelain bottles and a stack of leaves that he did not recognize.

[Name: Green Spore Powder]

[Type: Material]

[Grade: Low-Grade Yellow-Rank]

[Note: One foot in the immortal palace, one foot in the underworld.]

[Name: Bitter Mulberry Tree Leaf]

[Type: Trash]

[Grade: None]

[Note: The leaves of the bitter mulberry tree can be used to alleviate hunger.]

There was no specific name on the two porcelain bottles, nor was there any symbol of any sect.

After Jiang Li threw out a few appraisals, he obtained the answer.

It seemed that the stack of leaves did not have any practical use. The problem was most likely the green spore powder.

Jiang Li thought for a moment before the spiritual qi in his hand surged out and transformed into a dark light. He raised his hand and struck the head of one of the ‘mad’ disciples.
