In one breath, he refined all nine meridian opening fruits. Then he lay flat out on the futon.

After resting for 20 minutes, Liu Jiang recovered a little.

He circulated his cultivation technique and absorbed the spirit energy around to feel his meridians.

The corners of Liu Jiang’s lips curled up slightly. At this moment, his meridians had widened by about 10% and become at least 30% more resilient.

His dantian and spiritual source had become a little bigger, and they were even more tenacious and warm.

After washing up briefly, Liu Jiang began to refine the energy fruit.

With a thought, an energy fruit instantly appeared in his lower abdomen and emitted rich spirit energy.

Liu Jiang circulated his cultivation technique and began to absorb the gentle and pure energy.

In a quiet environment, the speed of refining energy was already very fast. After his meridians widened, the speed increased.

It was much faster.

After about three minutes, Liu Jiang had already refined two energy fruits.

At this time, Liu Jiang’s cultivation level had already been raised to the seven-star peak Black Iron level.

As expected, when I reach the seven-star Black Iron level, I need another energy fruit. When I reached the great perfection level, I used five energy fruits.

Feeling the rich magic power, Liu Jiang closed his eyes and continued to refine the energy fruit.

One, two…

He refined five energy fruits in a row.

His body trembled slightly as the membrane in his body was pierced.

An unusually comfortable feeling spread throughout his body.

Eight-star Black Iron.

At the eight-star Black Iron level, he needed one more energy fruit.

He used six energy fruits to raise his cultivation level to the peak of eight-star Black Iron.

With six more fruits, Liu Jiang advanced to the nine-star Black Iron level.

Then he refined the remaining four energy fruits.

At this moment, Liu Jiang’s cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of nine-star Black Iron.

He looked at the Treasure Tree.

Looking at a total of 26 epiphany fruits, Liu Jiang’s heart burned.

Liu Jiang circulated his Dharma powers and a scarlet fireball appeared in his palm.

This was an elementary Pyroblast Technique. One could burn the enemy by throwing it at him. It was a very good long-range attack. It was more lethal to ghosts and had the effect of restraining evil spirits.

With a thought, an epiphany fruit appeared in his lower abdomen and transformed into an unusual energy that spread.

Liu Jiang’s mind instantly became extremely ethereal. Countless sparks collided and bloomed in his head. Liu Jiang’s understanding of the Pyroblast improved rapidly.

The temperature of the fireball in his hand gradually increased.

Two epiphany fruits, initial success in Pyroblast Technique.

Another four epiphany fruits, completed Pyroblast Technique.

Another eight epiphany fruits, perfected Pyroblast Technique.

He had refined 14 epiphany fruits in one go which took 42 minutes.

His Pyroblast Technique had reached perfection.

The fireball in Liu Jiang’s palm had shrunk by 30%, but the violent energy contained in it had increased by more than 20 times.

The violent energy contained in it was terrifying.

With a thought, he dispersed the fireball in his palm and began practicing the Thunderbolt Saber Technique.

He had already mastered the Rumbling Thunder Saber Technique to the initial success stage and was quite proficient in it.

After familiarizing himself with it for a moment, Liu Jiang directly used the epiphany fruit and entered a state of epiphany.

After using the remaining 12 epiphany fruits in one go, he had completely perfected the Rumbling Thunder Saber Technique.

As he swung his saber, the howling of sharp winds and roars of tigers could be heard. Instantly, there were dozens of saber and lightning flashes.

Impressive!

Liu Jiang was also shocked by his powerful saber techniques.

Now, I have perfected the Pyroblast technique.

For close combat, I’ve perfected the Thunderbolt Saber Technique.

The lethality has increased significantly.

Compared to before, my combat strength has increased by more than 10 times. Now if I encounter Yang Wen, I can instantly kill him with a single move.

Stroking his saber, Liu Jiang’s eyes were bright as he looked forward to the future.

In this dangerous world, although my combat strength is not considered strong at all, I’m definitely not someone who can be bullied. Liu Jiang pushed open the window and looked at the distant scene. A cool breeze blew over, messing up his hair, making him look like an ethereal immortal.

He was a junior employee in his world, but unexpectedly, he stepped into this strange world where gods and devils danced. Looking back at the past, it seemed like a dream, making Liu Jiang feel surreal.

The epiphany fruits and the energy fruits had been completely used up. Liu Jiang looked at the small tree.

There were six madness fruits on the treasure tree, seven intelligence subduing fruits, and five dreamscape fruits.

Liu Jiang sat at the table and studied them.

He only knew the most basic information about these fruits. As for the specific uses, he still needed to slowly study them.

After trying for a long time, he could not summon these fruits.

Liu Jiang pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try.

He had to figure out the specific use of these fruits.

With a thought, a madness fruit instantly disappeared.

And in his dantian and body, an abnormally violent force suddenly rose.

Liu Jiang felt like he was stuffed.

It hurt a little.

But it was also very fulfilling.

“Ah…”

How satisfying…

So satisfying…

He felt that his body was filled with infinite power. The magic power in his dantian was abnormally rich and violent.

Liu Jiang slapped a corner of the table away with his pure physical strength.

Liu Jiang activated the Pyroblast Technique.

A hot fireball the size of a bowl appeared in his palm. The temperature in the room instantly increased significantly.

Liu Jiang quickly dismissed it.

Applying the Roaming Dragon Movement Technique, Liu Jiang’s figure instantly became as fast as a shadow.

A low, ancient dragon’s roar came from his room.

Ten minutes later, the rich energy in his body quietly disappeared.

Liu Jiang suddenly felt weak.

But upon closer inspection, he was still the same as before.

It was just that the sudden difference made him feel weak.

But in fact, nothing had changed.

He continued to sense carefully.

There was actually no other abnormality.

There were no side effects.

Liu Jiang’s eyes burned.

This is amazing, he thought.

One had to know that many medicinal pills that could greatly increase one’s spirit energy or strength in a short period of time had rather terrifying side effects.

Some would even destroy the cultivation foundation.

Not bad, not bad.

He continued to try.

This time, Liu Jiang tried the dreamscape fruit.

With a thought, a dreamscape fruit on the treasure tree disappeared.

In the room, Liu Jiang blinked.

He had a strange feeling that he could pull any martial artist within a hundred miles into a dreamscape.

After taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Liu Jiang’s spiritual force stirred. Countless white light spots appeared in front of his eyes.

Most of the light spots were quite small and weak, but some were brighter.

The bright light spots were exceptionally bright among the countless weak light spots.

When he sensed carefully, most of them had a familiar aura.

They were members of the Black Clouds Town Inspection Bureau.

There were two unfamiliar faces.

Liu Jiang pondered slightly.

He chose the light spot that represented Yang Wen.

…

In a room in Black Clouds Town, Yang Wen and Yang Bao were sitting together and applying medicine to their faces.

“Hiss, it hurts. Damn that Liu Jiang. We must find an opportunity to kill him.” Yang Wen gritted his teeth and said.

“Yes,” Yang Bao echoed softly. He was already traumatized by the beating and did not dare to have any crooked ideas.

Yang Wen said with a dark expression, “I’ve never suffered such humiliation. I won’t rest until I kill Liu Jiang. Go take out the Bone Erosion Powder.”

But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strong sense of sleepiness.

He tilted his head and fell asleep. His body curled up and with a bang, his head hit the ground.

“Brother, what’s wrong with you? What’s wrong with you…”
