Chapter 185: Chapter 120: Dissipating Skill, Breakthrough to the Late-stage of Force Integration
BOOM—
Jiang Che instantly transformed into his Black Armor Form.
He was so large that his head nearly touched the roof beams.
After carefully sensing his body’s condition, Jiang Che discovered that the strange sensation in his Qi Blood was gone!
’I wonder if it’ll still be there when I change back...’
He immediately reverted his transformation.
After another careful inspection, he found that the strange sensation in his Qi Blood was, indeed, gone!
’It worked!’
Joy bloomed in Jiang Che’s heart.
However, he didn’t rashly begin the Dissipating Skill process.
Instead, he decided to increase the dosage and continue testing.
He then swallowed a larger amount and repeated the process.
This time, the strange sensation was even stronger.
But it was still purged by the Transformation.
’This will work!’
Jiang Che then began to dissipate his skills according to the Dissipating Technique in the Erosion Sun Scripture.
He started by dissipating the Basic Techniques he had mass-learned to activate his Talents.
After dissipating a Swordsmanship technique called Long River Sword, Jiang Che quickly opened his system panel to check the status of his Talents.
The Long River Sword had activated the Talent [Insight].
Jiang Che looked closely and saw that [Insight] hadn’t changed!
Furthermore, as the Cultivation Technique dissipated, Jiang Che felt a surge of extremely pure Qi Blood appear within him.
He tried to convert this Qi Blood and found that he could use the Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Technique to transform it into Strength!
’It worked!’
Jiang Che was overjoyed.
After the Transformation purged the toxins, Jiang Che continued to dissipate his skills without stopping.
One by one, the Basic Techniques were dissipated, and Jiang Che’s Qi Blood continuously increased.
After dissipating all the Basic Techniques, Jiang Che began on the Qi Blood Realm Techniques.
Flying Swallow Step, Prison-Suppressing Saber, Shadow Tracing Step...
Looking at his Qi Blood Realm Techniques one after another.
Jiang Che felt a bit of reluctance.
It was these Cultivation Techniques that had brought him this far.
But now, he had to dissipate them, one by one.
However, in order to break through to Bone Forging sooner, he couldn’t afford to hesitate.
’Let’s start with the Flying Swallow Step...’
Jiang Che then dissipated the Flying Swallow Step.
The amount of Withered Soul Grass needed this time was much greater than for the Basic Techniques.
The strange sensation in Jiang Che’s Qi Blood was also stronger.
But after transforming, the toxins were still completely cleared away.
Moreover, the increase in his Qi Blood was also greater.
His Talent was also preserved.
Without pausing, Jiang Che continued to dissipate his skills.
In the end, Jiang Che dissipated all of his Qi Blood Realm Techniques.
Only the Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Technique remained.
As for the Cloud-Stacking Fist, it had automatically disappeared after Jiang Che learned the Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Technique.
This was because the Cloud-Stacking Fist was the Basic Chapter of the Fist Technique portion of the Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Technique!
The Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Technique was divided into a Heart Method Chapter and a Fist Technique Chapter.
The former primarily focused on the Cultivation of Strength, while the latter dealt with Fist Techniques and combat applications.
Most True Skills combine the Heart Method and combat applications.
This was one of the reasons why True Skills were so precious.
Sensing the incomparably pure and vast Qi Blood within him, Jiang Che immediately began circulating his technique to convert it.
It took Jiang Che a full three days to convert all of his Qi Blood into Strength.
Feeling the incredibly dense Strength in his body, a smile appeared on Jiang Che’s face.
’Even though I dissipated so many Cultivation Techniques, with this Strength alone, I’m no weaker than I was before!’
He sensed his condition carefully and realized he was already at the Mid-stage of Force Integration, and even felt like he was on the verge of breaking through to the Late-stage of Force Integration!
He went into the courtyard and started running with all his might.
Empowered by his Strength, even though he had dissipated his Qinggong, his speed had not diminished at all!
’That makes sense... I was fast before because of the bonus from my Talent Skills. The Qi Blood Realm Martial Arts alone didn’t actually contribute much...’
Jiang Che practiced his fist forms again.
The sound of his fists cutting through the air echoed continuously, like a string of firecrackers being set off.
He felt as if he possessed endless power and could keep fighting forever without tiring in the slightest.
’This Strength is truly amazing...’
Jiang Che felt that if he dissipated another ten Qi Blood Realm Martial Arts, he might be able to rush straight into the Bone Forging Realm!
’To think that the Cultivation method most suited for me is actually a Demon Technique...’ Jiang Che’s eyes flickered.
He was born with a poor Root Bone. Conventional Cultivation not only consumed a massive amount of Cultivation Resources, but his progress in Qi Blood and Strength was also extremely slow.
But he had the Skill Proficiency Panel, so he could "grind" Cultivation Techniques very quickly, especially Low Tier ones.
Moreover, grinding more Skills could also activate more Talent Skills.
’It’s just... I only have one Withered Soul Grass left. And Cloud Mist Ridge is closed again. It won’t open for another year...’
Jiang Che frowned.
If he had known, he would have bought more.
’I still need to find a way to make money...’
Jiang Che sighed.
Money was simply too important for Cultivation.
Whether it was asking someone to purchase Withered Soul Grass or buying a spot in the Cloud Mist Ridge trial, both required a lot of money.
Furthermore, even with cultivating Qi Blood Martial Arts and then dissipating them, his body still needed a large amount of Cultivation Resources.
It wasn’t as if increasing Qi Blood through Dissipating Skill meant he could cut back on Cultivation Resources.
Dissipating Skill also had to follow the law of conservation of energy.
It was impossible to create Qi Blood and Strength out of thin air.
It was just that, through Dissipating Skill, Jiang Che, with his Middle-Lower Root Bone, could match the Cultivation speed of someone with an Upper-Upper Root Bone.
Afterward, Jiang Che went to the Scripture Pavilion again.
This time, besides exchanging for a new batch of free-to-borrow books, he also spent twenty taels of gold to buy a Qi Blood Realm Martial Arts manual.
In addition, the Cultivation Resources he had bought before were used up, so he went to the Pharmacy to buy another three-month supply.
After all that, he only had about five hundred taels of gold left.
’I wonder if these five hundred taels can last me a year. And I still need to buy the next level of the Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Technique...’
Jiang Che felt a bit frustrated.
The money he had earned from killing the Demon Sect’s mole was almost all gone in the blink of an eye.
