Chapter 90: The Trend of Becoming a Perpetual Motion Machine

Jiang Li clenched his fists and was very satisfied with this.

His cheat simply retained statuses like this.

He could continue to maintain their effects even after the original materials were used up.

For example, the food he ate made him full.

Once Satiety was given infinite duration, it did not mean that food would forever pile up in Jiang Li’s stomach.

Jiang Li would still digest and excrete normally, but the effect of recovering his stamina would be preserved.

Just like now, even after he washed away the golden powder, the effects of the Anti-Demon Golden Skin would still remain.

His master wanted him to use his bare hands. In this case, despite having the buff, he was still considered to be fighting with his bare hands.

With his arms that had already been completely upgraded, Jiang Li returned to the place where the pit was dug. His fists turned pitch-black once more, and he started to madly slam on the solid rock ground again.

A large amount of shattered rocks splattered, and the effect was indeed different this time. The damage Jiang Li’s fist caused to the rocks on the ground immediately multiplied by a few times, and the efficiency of work was much higher.

As the sun gradually set, the light was blocked by the cliff on both sides of Scripture Storage Valley. Jiang Li had already entered the hole he dug.

Gradually, Jiang Li found a very comfortable rhythm.

Because of the effects of several body refinement pills, Jiang Li’s energy was in fact always overflowing.

Now, as he struck with both fists, he was not moving as quickly as he had at first.

However, if he maintained this frequency, Jiang Li would be able to perfectly balance his gain and expenditure of stamina. His fists were continuously punching to his heart’s content.

It made him feel a pleasant sensation like a perpetual motion machine. Jiang Li even started to release spiritual qi around his body according to the speed at which his spiritual qi recovered.

Wood attribute and Yin attribute spiritual qi were not very active in comparison to others. The increase in attack was naturally inferior to the increase in Fire attribute and Metal attribute spiritual qi.

However, it was still Immortal Cultivation spiritual qi after all. Just blowing it out could kill ordinary mortals.

This type of “Qi Release” without any technique was not recognized by the interface as a single status, but it also increased his speed of breaking through the rock layer again.

The sun gradually sank into the ground as time passed.

Hours went by.

By the time the sun rose, but the incessant pounding did not cease.

More hours went by.

An entire day had passed.

During this period of time, a disciple came over to deliver food to Jiang Li, but he rejected it because he had eaten the Inedia Pills.

All of Jiang Li’s internal organs, muscles, and bones were circulating at high speed like a functioning machine.

The hot blood in his veins flowed rapidly under the pumping of his powerful heart. His body continuously emitted a large amount of heat, but under the effect of the [Cool Skin], Jiang Li did not even feel hot.

This body condition felt like racing on the expressway at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour.

If he suddenly stopped, it would be like he had suddenly turned at a fork and entered a road that could only reach a speed of 20 to 30 kilometers per hour.

It would make Jiang Li feel very unhappy.

Thus, under the continuous punches, another day and night passed.

It was not until the sky lit up with the light of dawn that Jiang Li finally punched out one last time. After flattening a protruding rock, he stood in a huge hole of [4.5 x 3 x 2.5] square meters.

“This pounding was really enjoyable!”

Jiang Li looked at the results of his two days and two nights of hard work and sighed with emotion. After these two days of exercise, he felt his body become much stronger.

He opened his interface and saw that his Strength attribute had increased by 0.5, and his Constitution had increased by 0.4.

Now, it was much more difficult to raise Jiang Li’s attributes, but the resulting effect was also world’s apart from before.

He gained these attributes in just two days. This made Jiang Li extremely spirited. He wished that he could stay here and pound the mountain until he became invincible.

However, he also knew that he was not some bald guy who had no physical restrictions. The advancement he could achieve by relying on training would only become harder and slower gradually. It was impossible for him to really rely on the enhancement of a few Yellow-rank pills to be invincible in the world.

“I’m very tired, very tired. My hands and feet are soft and I don’t want to move at all.”

Under the hole, Jiang Li repeated these two words in his heart, telling himself that he should be exhausted now. That was the normal reaction that he should have.

He slowly calmed his excited nerves.

Putting on a tired expression, Jiang Li jumped out of the hole.

Hmm… Alright, even if he hypnotized himself like this, Jiang Li only looked ‘more tired’.

Carrying the huge ape corpse, Jiang Li threw it into the hole with “difficulty”.

This thing had been cut open by Jiang Li previously. Now, it was exposed in the air for two days, and it was already smelly.

Jiang Li had no intention of being infected with the virus of the cultivation world. After burying the ape’s corpse into the ground, he pushed the large number of rocks that he had thrown out of the pit earlier and gradually filled up the entire hole.

Finally! Success!

Indeed, it was easy to kill but hard to bury a corpse. Jiang Li deeply understood what this meant.

“Did you do all this yourself?” Right at this moment, an air-piercing sound came from behind.

It was Elder He who had disappeared for two days already flying back from who knew where.

In his hand was a huge iron cage.

A corner of the black cloth on the iron cage was fluttering with the rough breathing of a certain creature.

Jiang Li did not even need to think to know what was inside.

“Master, I did it myself.” As Jiang Li replied, he stepped forward and tried to lift the black cloth to see what was inside.

However, he had only lifted it halfway when it was pressed down by Elder He. Through the gap, he saw a beast claw with scales growing on it.

“You didn’t use any artifacts?” Elder He asked again.

Clearly, Jiang Li’s digging speed was completely beyond his expectations.

“No, Master. With my little wealth, even if I had a magical artifact, I wouldn’t be willing to waste it.” Jiang Li shrugged to express his innocence.

Elder He also knew that it was impossible for Jiang Li to deceive him in the territory of the Demon Vanquishing Hall. If Jiang Li lied, he would definitely notice it. There was no need for that.

However, the problem was that he had taught many disciples, and there was no lack of talented disciples among them.

Every time he took in disciples, the first lesson was always killing and digging the grave.

However, the demon beasts he chose were definitely not weak. There were not many disciples who could win against the demon beasts.

There were even fewer disciples who could complete the digging mission while dragging their heavily injured bodies.

Only disciples who passed these two tests would become disciples he truly approved of and be taught powerful secret techniques to establish themselves in the cultivation world.

However, among those disciples, the one who finished the fastest also took five days and six nights.

That was because the demon beast at that time was relatively small in size. Moreover, after it was completed, that disciple directly fainted. Moreover, his entire body was mangled to a tragic state.

It was unlike Jiang Li who was fine after fighting the demon beast. After excavating the grave, he was still full of vigor. It only took him two days to finish digging!
