No hope for eternal life

Chapter 175: Muscles become perfect

In the end, Mu Changsheng obtained 116 finished products out of 500 pieces of materials for the monster talismans.

After the Wuliang Talisman, Mu Changsheng began to try to draw a fourth-grade intermediate talisman called the Undead Talisman. This talisman is similar to the Wuliang Talisman and the Frost Talisman. It can transform into an army of bones. Its momentum and power are greater than those of the Wuliang Talisman.

However, this undead talisman is also more difficult to draw. When Mu Changsheng drew the talisman for the first time, he noticed the sluggishness of the magic power driving the talisman pen.

Mu Changsheng failed more than twenty times on the Undead Talisman, but still couldn't get rid of the feeling of stagnation.

It was not until the thirty-fourth time that Mu Changsheng successfully drew the Talisman of the Undead for the first time.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng refined more than a hundred undead talismans in succession, but only six of them were successful.

When there were only one hundred pieces of materials left, Mu Changsheng replaced the talisman paper with Yangluo paper. The one hundred pieces of Yangluo paper that he had stockpiled before came in handy at this time. Seventeen out of the one hundred were successful, and a total of twenty-four undead talismans were obtained.

"These undead talismans can be regarded as a trump card." Mu Changsheng thought to himself. He once relied on a third-grade intermediate dragon flame talisman to knock Shen Qianliu down from the mysterious mountain in the palace examination and tasted the sweetness. So now he has prepared a fourth-grade intermediate undead talisman as a trump card.

After the talisman was completed, it was time to prepare the moves, and Mu Changsheng went straight to Yang Wuque.

As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by Yang Wuque's iron fist. Mu Changsheng was shocked at first, and then hurriedly parried.

After dozens of rounds, Mu Changsheng was knocked to the ground as expected.

Yang Wuque was very dissatisfied with this and shouted: "Get up, I noticed that you have been quite lax without the pressure of the trial. After a few months, you haven't improved much. If you can't hold on for 70 moves tonight, don't even think about resting. Even if you pass out, I will wake you up."

"Student obeys your command." Mu Changsheng knew that Yang Wuque was not joking, so he stood up immediately and responded carefully.

"Bang!" "Get up." "Get up."

……

After a whole night, Mu Changsheng still failed to last seventy moves. In fact, this could not be entirely Mu Changsheng's fault. On the one hand, his cultivation had broken through one after another, and he was not used to it. On the other hand, as the number of rounds of fighting increased and the time of each round increased, it was easier for him to reveal his flaws, and then it would be easier for Yang Wuque to seize the flaws. Therefore, the difficulty increased with every additional move he persisted.

Even though there were many difficulties, Mu Changsheng did not dare to cry out for tiredness or beg for mercy. Since Yang Wuque said that he could not stop until he had held out for seventy moves, he had to hold out until then.

He fell down again and again, and got up again and again. Even when his consciousness became blurred, Mu Changsheng still refused to give up.

"Seventy moves, seventy moves..." The obsession with seventy moves churned in Mu Changsheng's mind, supporting him.

Unknown to Mu Changsheng, Yang Wuque was also slowly reducing his attack speed on the other side. Otherwise, with Mu Changsheng's blurred consciousness, it would be impossible for him to last for seventy moves.

In this way, as Yang Wuque slowly let up, Mu Changsheng finally lasted until seventy moves.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng was so tired that he fell to the ground.

Yang Wuque hurriedly put Mu Changsheng into the pre-prepared medicine barrel for a medicinal bath.

In addition, Yang Wuque rolled up his sleeves, used his fingers as a knife, cut his wrist, and spilled some of his blood into the medicine barrel.

"This should be enough for your body to break through and reach muscle perfection." Yang Wuque thought to himself.

It turned out that Yang Wuque did all this to help Mu Changsheng break through. Both of them practiced the Nine Transformations of the Flesh, so Yang Wuque's blood essence was helpful to Mu Changsheng.

When Mu Changsheng woke up, it was already night. The first thing he noticed was the changes in his body.

"My physical body has broken through." Mu Changsheng clenched his fists with a look of joy on his face. This was a pleasant surprise for him.

Although the cultivation of the Nine Transformations of the Physical Body mainly relies on soaking in medicinal baths, it seems easy, but the further you practice, the longer the time required for soaking in medicinal baths. According to Mu Changsheng's estimation, it was still unclear whether he could break through before the Tianjiao Conference. Unexpectedly, he broke through ahead of schedule.

"It seems that Mr. Yang suddenly became strict yesterday in order to help me break through." Mu Changsheng recalled it and guessed part of the truth, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.

At the same time, Yang Wuque pushed the door open and said sternly: "Let's continue tomorrow night. If you break through but can't last 70 moves, I'll make you pay."

"Yes, student understands." Mu Changsheng smiled knowingly.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng returned home and first practiced boxing in the courtyard to familiarize himself with his increased strength.

Then, Mu Changsheng began to draw the invisibility talisman.

It has to be said that after getting used to the fourth-grade talismans, Mu Changsheng now feels an indescribable sense of ease when he turns back to drawing third-grade talismans.

Thus, out of one hundred pieces of invisibility talisman materials, Mu Changsheng obtained fifty-one finished products, with a success rate of up to 50%.

"If I'm short of spirit stones in the future, refining talismans and selling them will be a good option." Mu Changsheng thought to himself. When he went to Qihua City to buy materials, he also learned about the market price of the invisibility talisman.

Calculated based on the selling price and cost, a 40% success rate will cover the investment, and the 10% higher success rate will become pure profit, which is still very considerable.

The next morning, Mu Changsheng, who was practicing boxing in the courtyard, heard a knock on the door. After opening the door, he found that it was Mu Xun who had returned.

"Why are you back?" Mu Changsheng asked with a little surprise.

"I heard outside that the genius meeting of the Divine Guardian Nation is about to begin, and many cultivators are rushing to the capital of the Divine Guardian Nation. Let's go too." Mu Xun made an invitation. He came back specifically to inform Mu Changsheng about the geniuses of the Divine Guardian Nation.

"Well, I already knew about it. We will set off in a month, and Mr. Yang will go with us. You should stay here first, and we will go together then." Mu Changsheng nodded.

Mu Xun was slightly surprised when he heard that Yang Wuque was also going, but he was still very much looking forward to it and agreed immediately.

"Also, you're back just in time. I just broke through to my physical training realm yesterday. Let's have a sparring match." Mu Changsheng suddenly suggested. He thought about the fight with Yang Wuque tonight and the goal of seventy moves. Now that he had such a good sparring partner like Mu Xun, he couldn't let him go.

"No problem, let's go to the old place to spar." Mu Xun agreed immediately. The old place he mentioned was the riverside of the town where the two had their first sparring match.

The two stood facing each other by the river in the town. Mu Xun said, "Speaking of which, you and I have not sparred for a long time except for the time when we just broke through to the Jindan realm. I remind you to be careful."

Mu Changsheng laughed and said, "I also want to remind you to be careful. I have made great progress recently."

"Hahaha, that's great, let's see who has made the greatest progress." Mu Xun laughed and moved with his sword.

However, after a long competition, the two were still tied. Mu Changsheng even used the newly drawn Wuliang Talisman, but still failed to defeat Mu Xun. It can be seen that Mu Xun has not been idle during this period.

"We'll officially decide the winner at the Tianjiao Conference." Mu Xun said happily. This result of a draw actually made him happier.

"Okay." Mu Changsheng agreed. Although he still had a trump card that he hadn't used, Mu Xun was probably holding back as well. Only when he arrived at the Tianjiao Meeting could he act without scruples.

Afterwards, at Mu Changsheng's suggestion, the two temporarily abandoned their secret techniques and simply used their skills in close combat. Whoever hits the other with their attack would be the winner.

Mu Changsheng and the other person have similar cultivation levels, so this fight can be regarded as a simple competition of skills.

After several competitions, the two of them won and lost alternately, and were evenly matched.
