But before Ji Yuan could summon the panel, he saw a piece of jade slowly appear above the Pigsty.

This jade was about the size of two fingers, showing a beautiful blue-green hue.

This is the Runyu Fat that can repair magical treasures?

Let alone now, even when I reach Foundation Establishment, Core Formation... even lifebound magical treasures at Core Formation Realm could use this stuff.

So, this Runyu Fat is definitely a superb thing!

If I use it as a gift to make friends with Golden Core Cultivators, giving Runyu Fat isn't shabby at all.

Ji Yuan beckoned, and the Runyu Fat landed in his hand.

Cool to the touch.

Even though it looks like jade, when held it's soft, and a little pressure makes it change shape—it's honestly delightful to hold.

Why not... give it a try?

Ji Yuan pondered, then with a thought, took the Hundred Fish Shield out of his storage bag.

This old pal has followed Ji Yuan through countless fights. While it's overall intact and its effect undiminished,

The surface inevitably bears a few scars.

Ji Yuan summoned the Qingfu Flying Sword again, shaved off a bit of the Runyu Fat, and placed it right on the Hundred Fish Shield's damaged spot.

Then he channeled Spiritual Qi in, and the Runyu Fat instantly melted, covering the scar. After just a few breaths, the scar on the Hundred Fish Shield vanished without a trace.

It's healed just like that?!

Damn useful!

Looks like next time I fight, I can really let loose, not afraid of wear and tear anymore.

Ji Yuan, fully satisfied, stowed the magical artifact away, and sealed the Runyu Fat in a dedicated jade box as well.

It produces only one tael a month, so I better use it sparingly.

Once the Runyu Fat was packed away, Ji Yuan finally looked to the panel.

Time to check the effect of Level 4 Pigsty.

[Pigsty: Level 4 (not upgradeable)]

[Spirit Effect 1: Spirit Pigs develop blood patterns, eating them enhances body refining effect; monthly output of 1 tael Profound Sun Blood Amber; Spirit Pigs have a chance to produce "Blazing Sun Bones" (objects of pure Yang and unyielding force).]

[Spirit Effect 2 (Nine-turn Profound Sun): When the pigsty upgrades, an ancient projection will appear, containing the mysteries of "Nine-turn Profound Sun."]

[Upgrade Conditions: Mid-grade Spirit Stones ×600; one Tier Three Water Attribute Demon Pill; one Tier Three Fire Attribute Demon Pill; five catties of Fire Vein Spirit Marrow; three Three-eyed Dark Beast spinal bones; one Taiyi Azure Light Talisman. (Unmet)]

Ji Yuan went over the Level 4 Pigsty's spirit effects and upgrade conditions several times.

No need to comment on those upgrade requirements.

Just one word.

Hard!

But at least there's no cultivation restriction—that's something.

As for the spirit effects, Pigsty finally has two effects at Level 4... though, about Spirit Effect 2.

Based on the effects at Levels 1, 2, and 3, this "Nine-turn Profound Sun" is probably the legendary cultivation technique for body refining—in other words, the path Isle Master Tie Chui mentioned, for going further in physical cultivation... Ji Yuan understood all that.

But damn it, why is a body refining technique coming out of a Pigsty?!

I just want to hone my body, not become a pig...

What do pigs have to do with body training anyway?!

So later, when I'm strong enough, am I supposed to be "the peerless Celestial Venerable who came from the Pigsty"?

After mentally slandering for a while, Ji Yuan could only accept reality.

Doesn't matter what kind of building—if it makes me stronger, it's a good building!

As for Spirit Effect 1, it further boosts the body refining effect of Spirit Pigs.

The monthly "Profound Sun Blood Amber," Ji Yuan guessed, probably relates to the body refining technique "Nine-turn Profound Sun."

Blazing Sun Bones, pure Yang and pure force.

Absolutely good stuff, though exactly what, I'll have to figure out later.

But anyway, Level 4 Pigsty's effects have at last checked off a major concern for Ji Yuan.

The path of body refinement isn't a dead end!

As long as I can keep pushing forward, it's all good.

And from the description of Spirit Effect 2... the one to impart "Nine-turn Profound Sun" is some ancient projection.

That name—it sounds like there's a story behind it.

But the details—I'll have to wait until the Pigsty reaches Level 4 to find out.

Ji Yuan wasn't in a rush; even a Level 3 Pigsty is enough for his needs right now.

Runyu Fat's already secured as a monthly welfare, so next up is the "Quenching Acupoint Pearl."

Ji Yuan asked Tu Yue to herd the Spirit Pigs back.

Right now there are a total of 14, and all of them are mature Spirit Pigs.

Ji Yuan waited until they'd all entered the Pigsty, then casually beheaded one Spirit Pig with a swing of his sword. Instantly, blood spurted out, but before it even hit the ground, Ji Yuan used Artifact Manipulation Technique to gather up the gushing blood.

He waited until the last drop of blood was drained, then tossed this ball of blood straight into Big Toad's mouth.

Big Toad gulped it down—all of a sudden, its eyes shone.

"Ribbit——"

Its voice now carried a clear note of joy.

Big Toad's had pig's blood before—in fact, plenty of times—but it'd never been this happy.

So the Level 3 Pigsty's effect is already showing?

With that thought, Ji Yuan promptly cut open the Spirit Pig.

Once the heart was extracted, he gave it another quick slice.

Inside lay a blood-colored pearl.

Ji Yuan picked it up—just looking at it, he could sense the potent blood energy inside... Quenching Acupoint Pearl. So this is what's used to refine your acupoints?

Ji Yuan grabbed the pearl, leaving the pig's corpse for now, and headed back to his Cave Mansion.

He calmed himself, held his breath, focused—and then swallowed the Quenching Acupoint Pearl in a single gulp.

Instantly, it began refining.

The human body has 361 acupoints scattered over the twelve meridians plus the Ren and Du vessel.
