Martial Peak

ead the third page.

Almost instantly, countless gold words started to appear on the page and jumped into his mind.
Then a small whirlpool started to appear in the center of the page.
From it, arose an antique incense burner.

This turn of events left Kai Yang in shock, but quickly he started to rejoice.

Ah right, didn’t he break through into the fourth stage this morning? Last night he was still in the third stage, but today he’s in the fourth.
So that’s why he couldn’t access the third page before?

Although it was only one level, it had still hindered his ability to comprehend  the third page.

After he thought about this, Kai Yang couldn’t help but feel regret.
If this morning he had discovered this, then he wouldn’t need to waste time now thinking about it.

Calming his beating heart, Kai Yang held the incense burner and carefully inspected it.

This burner wasn’t large in size, and was a common item used by people.
But it was half sealed, with a lid on the mouth and a few holes.
It was also antique and of outstanding quality, but it wasn’t attention grabbing at all.

Gently he sniffed, but there was no odor and slowly he lowered it.

What is it made of? Even after a while, Kai Yang still didn’t know but could only go on the information imprinted in his mind.

After a short pause, Kai Yang opened his eyes with a strange look in them.

According to the information in his mind, this incense burner could aid him during training.
The burner itself has no special properties, however if you were to gather herbs and burn them in it, the fragrance released would aid you during training.

Different herbs were needed for different stages.

Unfortunately, Kai Yang had some doubts.
The plants needed  to aid him at his current level were the Three Leaved Destruction/Chaos Spirit Flower and the Dead Jedi Tree Grass.

According to his understanding, the value of these two herbs were not high but they were very hard to find.
They also possessed small amounts of toxins.
Inhaled over a short period of time these toxins would do no lasting damage, but over many years the accumulation in your body would really injure you.

Would these two herbs really be effective in helping him?

These herbs were definitely available in the Contribution Hall, but with Old Man Meng’s personality, he would definitely charge high prices for them.
And with only a few points in his possession, how could he spend them like that?

There was only one option left.
He would have to venture into the Black Wind Mountains to look for them himself.
Kai Yang had already hunted in there before, so was quite familiar with its geography and perhaps the herbs were there.

Tomorrow into the mountains he shall go! With his problems currently solved, Kai Yang slowly drifted to sleep.
But before he fell asleep, he checked the fourth page so as to not repeat this morning’s embarrassing action.
Unfortunately nothing appeared, it seemed that Tempered Body Fourth Stage was not sufficient for this page.

The next morning, Kai Yang got up early.

Yesterday’s practise had already had such a large impact on his cultivation, so naturally he would make full use of the short time he had to cultivate.
Not to mention, he was not a lazy person.

While immersing himself in the purple eastern air/gas, that slow but with the might of heaven and earth infused, Tempered Body Record fist’s might gradually unfolded.

While he was a stage stronger than yesterday, Kai Yang still didn’t make much progress on the fist.
You could only perform it twenty times and when he touched his back, torturous pain responded.
His back, hip and bones all ached, they felt like smashed beans.

Inhaling a mouthful of purple gas, his bodily senses as energy became clearer.
His meridians all opened up and began to expel the impurities in his body.
