Lying Low in the Martial World to Become a Saint

However, for Chen Qing, who possessed the [Heaven Rewards Diligence] Fate Plate, there was no need to desperately seek a profound and mysterious epiphany. All he had to do was practice according to the Cultivation Technique, training over and over and swinging his spear again and again, and his understanding of the Spear Technique would naturally deepen.

For him, grasping ’intent’ was merely a matter of time; once he had accumulated enough practice, it would come as a natural result.

In the small courtyard, Chen Qing practiced the *True Martial Demon-Vanquishing Spear* twice, his mind completely focused.

Although he was only at the entry-level, his execution was impressive. The wind stirred by his spear billowed, and his True Astral surged powerfully.

For the next period, Chen Qing completely immersed himself in arduous Cultivation.

Every morning, he practiced the *True Martial Demon-Vanquishing Spear* in the courtyard. The afterimage of his spear was a blur as he gradually incorporated the three Momentums—"Mountain," "Thunder," and "Rain"—into this Unparalleled Spear Skill.

In the afternoons, he would meditate to practice his breathing and refine his *Five Elements True Astral*. Aided by the High-quality Quenching Gang Pills, his Mid-stage Astral Force Cultivation grew increasingly condensed and robust, progressing steadily toward the Late Stage.

At night, he would either study the various transformations of the *True Martial Seal* or temper his *Eight Extremes Vajra Body*, using the tyrannical medicinal power of the Dragon Tiger Bone Tempering Pills to frantically draw out his body’s latent potential.

Thanks to the Dragon Tiger Bone Tempering Pills he had obtained from Elder Zhang of Danxia Peak, Chen Qing could consume them almost without reservation.

The Elixirs were consumed like flowing water, and the results were remarkably significant.

The qi and blood within his body grew more majestic by the day, faintly roaring like a great river as it circulated. The dark golden luster beneath his skin deepened, as if an invisible, precious light was flowing just under the surface.

During this time, his Contribution Points had long since run out. Fortunately, the new monthly stipends for two months, totaling six hundred points, were distributed. This allowed him to visit Danxia Peak again and exchange them for three more bottles of Dragon Tiger Bone Tempering Pills from He Zhi.

Besides all this, he would occasionally go fishing at Emerald Waves Pool to add some variety to his life.

「Two months later, late one night.」

Inside the Quiet Chamber of his small courtyard on Xu Wang Mountain.

Chen Qing sat cross-legged. Steam rose from his entire body, making him resemble a blazing furnace.

He had just consumed a Dragon Tiger Bone Tempering Pill, and its medicinal power was now erupting inside his body with unprecedented ferocity!

RUMBLE—!

This was no longer the gurgle of a stream, but the roar of a great river bursting its banks, the howl of a furious, stormy sea!

The qi and blood in his body surged at an unprecedented speed, emitting a dull, thunderous roar that even passed through his skin to echo faintly within the Quiet Chamber.

His skin instantly turned crimson, like a red-hot branding iron. Veins bulged and twisted like Qiu Dragons on his skin. His bones emitted a teeth-grating CRACKLE, as if they were being repeatedly forged and reshaped.

Intense waves of pain assaulted his nerves—the necessary ordeal for the transformation of his qi and blood and the reconstruction of his Flesh Body.

Chen Qing clung to a sliver of clarity on his Spirit Platform, using his powerful will to guide the rampaging qi and blood.

In the Mixed Element Realm, qi and blood are like a furnace—restrained and resilient.

But to achieve Vajra Indestructible, one had to sublimate this furnace-like blood and qi to its absolute limit. It had to be fused from the inside out, completely integrated into every inch of skin, every piece of bone, and every drop of blood, to reach the supreme Realm where "the body is like a Vajra, indestructible through a myriad of calamities."

At this moment, Chen Qing could clearly perceive through introspection that his blood had taken on a faint golden hue, becoming both heavy and brimming with vitality.

His bone density increased sharply, and a jade-like luster shone through their pristine white. His organs were enveloped and nourished by the dense qi and blood, their pulsing power now several times stronger.

VMM!

A peculiar tremor emanated from deep within his body.

Immediately after, the crimson color of his skin rapidly faded, replaced by a warm, profound bronze-gold. This luster was not superficial; it emanated from his very flesh, blood, and marrow.

The roar of his rampaging qi and blood gradually subsided. This was not a sign of weakness, but of complete restraint—like a vast ocean, calm on the surface but concealing boundless power within.

With every gesture, a majestic Power lay hidden, requiring no conscious effort to circulate.

He opened his eyes, and a glint of golden lightning seemed to flash through them before vanishing.

[Heaven Rewards Diligence, Success is Certain]

[Eight Extremes Vajra Body: Vajra Indestructible]

Success!

Chen Qing slowly stood up, sensing the earth-shattering changes within his body.

He gently clenched his fist, and the air in his palm compressed with a faint pop.

He casually stretched his limbs. His body felt immeasurably lighter, yet with every step, he felt as heavy as a mountain, rooted to the earth and immovable.

He walked to the wall of the Quiet Chamber, where a thick bluestone slab rested.

Without circulating any True Astral, relying purely on the strength of his Flesh Body, he flicked his finger against it.

PFFT!

With a soft sound, an inch-deep finger hole appeared on the bluestone’s surface, its edges as smooth as a mirror.

A trace of joy appeared on Chen Qing’s face. ’This Vajra Indestructible Realm is truly profound.’

The strength of his Flesh Body had taken a qualitative leap. A single swing of his arm now contained unimaginable Power.

Moreover, he felt his Life Force had become incredibly vigorous and his recovery ability astonishing. It was a defense that even the attacks of an ordinary Late-stage Astral Force expert would struggle to breach.

’With the strength of my Flesh Body alone, I can probably crush most cultivators at Late-stage Astral Force. I could even hold my own against someone at Astral Force Perfection for a while.’

Chen Qing mused to himself, ’If I also use my True Astral and Spear Technique, then facing an Astral Force Perfection expert like Zhu He will be no problem at all.’
