A wave of Blood River water rushed towards Li Haofeng and Wang Shijun.
This Blood River water must not be touched, otherwise it will be like a bone-affixed gangrene, impossible to shake off.
Wang Shijun reacted quickly and dodged it. However, although Li Haofeng's footwork was fast and his reaction was timely, he still didn't completely avoid it. A drop of Blood River water landed on Li Haofeng's shoulder.
"Ah!"
Li Haofeng felt a pain like ten thousand arrows piercing his heart and cried out. He was indeed a tough man. He used the long spear in his hand to cut across his shoulder, brutally slicing off the flesh on his shoulder.
Instantly, the corroded flesh was cut off by him.
Zhang Hao was secretly happy when he saw Li Haofeng being touched by the Blood River water. He didn't expect Li Haofeng to be ruthless to his enemies and himself. He actually used this method to escape a disaster.
Seeing that the fish in the Blood River were angered by Zhang Hao, Li Haofeng and Wang Shijun hesitated for a moment and still retreated. After all, no matter how overbearing they were, they had no confidence in reaching the other bank under the siege of so many blood fish.
"Kid, let you live a little longer. When we meet again, that will be your death day."
Li Haofeng and Wang Shijun were now extremely hateful towards Zhang Hao because both of them had suffered losses at Zhang Hao's hands.
The other bank of the Blood River
Zhang Hao looked at the boiling blood fish in the Blood River, estimating there were probably over a million. It was a sea of blood-red, a shocking sight. No wonder Li Haofeng and Wang Shijun hated him to the bone but still retreated.
Damn it, how am I supposed to leave the Blood River like this! With so many blood fish, I can't get back to the other side of the Blood River!
"Forget it, now is not the time to think about this. Let's look for star origin stone!"
Last night, Ye Qingrou told him that the other side of the Blood River was Qi Mountain, which was very mysterious. Hundreds of years ago, the Zhang Family's ancestor obtained star origin stone here and forged Heaven-Grade treasures, eventually becoming a generation's powerful expert.
"star origin stone, this is what I need most right now. Three pieces of star origin stone, and one tianyun crystal, then the System can be upgraded."
What Zhang Hao hoped for most right now was the System upgrade. Only with the System upgraded could he unleash his greatest combat power.
Looking at a dark small hillside in the distance, Zhang Hao muttered, "Could this be Qi Mountain?"
"It's too small! It looks very inconspicuous, could there really be star origin stone?" Zhang Hao was really a bit doubtful at the moment.
Zhang Hao lifted his foot and stepped towards Qi Mountain.
"Strange, why do I feel my steps are so heavy? It feels like my feet are filled with lead?" Zhang Hao found it a bit strange.
With each step forward, Zhang Hao felt it took ten times more strength than the previous step. After walking hundreds of steps, Zhang Hao had just reached the foot of Qi Mountain.
"Is there something wrong with the gravity on this Qi Mountain?"
Zhang Hao muttered to himself.
Zhang Hao felt himself panting like an ox at this moment. After forcing himself to walk a dozen more steps, he felt a heavy pressure on his body, and the pressure came from that Qi Mountain.
I can't go on, if I keep walking, all the bones in my body will break. Zhang Hao plopped down on the ground.
"What should I do, should I give up?"
No, I must go up Qi Mountain. The System's description says that star origin stone is a stone with great gravity. Legend has it that it was sprayed onto the ground through volcanic eruptions from deep within the earth's core during continental crust changes. In that case, with the gravity on this Qi Mountain being so strong, it's really possible there is star origin stone.
But how can I get to the top of Qi Mountain if I get tired and pant like an ox after just a few steps?
Feeling a bit helpless, Zhang Hao had to temporarily shift his attention. He hadn't had time to look at the light cluster he grabbed when passing the tenth stone pier earlier. Now that he was free, it was a good time to see what reward he had received.
He took the light cluster from the System space and held it in his palm. The System was indeed amazing; after so long, the light cluster had not dissipated and was still the same as before.
He dispersed the light cluster, and a book appeared in Zhang Hao's hand.
"Ding dong, congratulations Player Zhang Hao, you have discovered the God-Demon Overlord Body Art! Would you like to Cultivate it?"
Holy crap, could this be a Body Refinement Cultivation Technique? A hint of excitement appeared on Zhang Hao's face. Cultivate, of course, Cultivate.
"Ding dong, congratulations Player Zhang Hao, you have successfully cultivated the God-Demon Overlord Body Art. Current level is the first layer."
One must know that what Zhang Hao needed most at this moment was a Body Refinement Cultivation Technique. His awakened Bloodline was too overbearing; it was so overbearing that his Physical Body could only use it for one minute. If it exceeded one minute, his body would explode. If he cultivated a Body Refinement technique, it should improve.
Just looking at the name of the God-Demon Overlord Body Art, it sounds very overbearing. It should be a good Cultivation Technique.
Zhang Hao checked the attributes of the God-Demon Overlord Body Art.
Cultivation Technique: God-Demon Overlord Body Art (Divine Grade)
Level: First Layer
Description: A Cultivation Technique passed down from a higher plane. It has a total of eighteen layers. When cultivated to the extreme, you can extinguish stars with one hand and shatter mountains and rivers with a stomp. Kill gods if they block, destroy buddhas if they obstruct.
Holy crap, that's really overbearing, but I like it.
However, Zhang Hao also knew that cultivating the Physical Body was different from cultivating other techniques; it couldn't be leveled up by killing monsters. It required solid cultivation.
It's just cultivation, right? Am I afraid of that?
But how can I Cultivate on Qi Mountain right now?
"Huh, that's right, the God-Demon Overlord Body Art introduces several shortcuts for cultivation, one of which is Dan. And Zhang Hao obtained countless spiritual herbs in the Secret Realm, which are perfect for Alchemy."
What, you said Young Master is not an Alchemist? Damn it, Young Master has been a first-Rank Alchemist for a long time, okay? As early as when he first awakened the System, the large gift package rewarded by the System gave him all the sub-professions on the True Martial Continent. Of course, only at the lowest level. To improve the level, he still needed to increase his proficiency.
Zhang Hao checked the medicinal herbs. These herbs were enough for him to refine ten Overlord Body Pills. And ten Overlord Body Pills should be enough for him to Cultivate the God-Demon Overlord Body Art to the third layer. Although the third layer is still the initial stage of the God-Demon Overlord Body Art, it should be enough for him to reach the peak of Qi Mountain.
However, before that, Zhang Hao needed to improve his Alchemist level. A first-Rank Alchemist level was too low. Overlord Body Pill was a third-Rank Dan. At least a third-Rank Alchemist was required to refine it.
For Zhang Hao, the Alchemist level could be achieved simply by gaining proficiency. Anyway, although he didn't have many high-grade spiritual herbs in his System space, he still had quite a few ordinary ones. These spiritual herbs were enough for him to squander.
"Okay, I'll refine Gold Wound Medicine!"
This was the only lowest-grade Dan recipe Zhang Hao knew. Anyway, all he needed was proficiency, and the medicinal herbs required for Gold Wound Medicine were very common. There was a large abundance of them around Qi Mountain, enough for refining.
Taking out the Dan cauldron that dropped from killing the Martial Warrior of the small Family in the Blood River, Zhang Hao began to refine Gold Wound Medicine.
