Chapter 957: Chapter 253: Giving Bai Zhi Private Lessons

While Bai Zhi and Bai Ling were lost in thought, Fang Ze noticed their distraction, so he quickly brought the conversation back on track, “My rapid power enhancement is actually related to my extraordinary path.”

Saying this, Fang Ze also explained his different approach at the Spirit Ascension and Yang Transformation stages to the two girls.

Upon hearing that Fang Ze ascended to the Spirit Ascension stage with his physical body, skipping half of the Yang Transformation stage, Bai Zhi and Bai Ling were both stunned.

Is there such a way to do it?

And when Bai Zhi learned that she also had this potential to walk this path, she immediately refocused her thoughts, her surprise turning to excitement.

She tried to maintain her noble elegance, then asked, “So, can I also enter the Mortality-Shedding stage with my physical body?”

Fang Ze said, “I’ve checked your body, and I think it’s completely possible!”

“So next, I will use my mystical item on you to help you enhance your power!”

Hearing Fang Ze’s words, Bai Zhi suppressed her excitement, nodded with an “Um,” and looked at Fang Ze with anticipation.

Seeing that they had finally entered the main topic, Fang Ze did not delay any longer. He reached into his pants pocket and took out a pocket watch from his pocket.

Yes, it was still that ordinary pocket watch that he used to bluff the students with in Emerald City. Then Fang Ze looked at Bai Zhi and explained, “The mystical item in my hand is called the Fool’s Pocket Watch.”

“As long as it has enough resources, it can provide you with a time acceleration effect, allowing you to achieve martial arts cultivation in a short time that you could only reach in the future.”

“You are currently at the Forge Tendon Tempering stage, having opened 82 law apertures. You should be very familiar with Qi Opening, so next, when the power of the mystical item descends upon you, you simply need to follow your own feelings to cultivate and attack the orifice points.”

After listening to Fang Ze’s explanation, Bai Zhi nodded again.

Seeing Bai Zhi understood what was going to happen next, Fang Ze took out the glittering golden treasure chest of Bai Ling from the space folding bag, opened the lid, and started manipulating the pocket watch in his hand.

After turning it a dozen times, Fang Ze held the pocket watch and shouted to Bai Zhi, “Concentrate and stabilize your mind!”

With that, he placed the pocket watch on the treasure chest and activated his ability of the [High Credit World]!

“Fool’s Pocket Watch, grant Bai Zhi the cultivation effect of opening 108 law apertures!”

As Fang Ze’s voice fell, all the jewels in the treasure chest disappeared with a “whoosh”!

Immediately afterward, a white light enveloped Bai Zhi!

At this time, upon hearing Fang Ze’s instruction to “concentrate and stabilize your mind,” Bai Zhi quickly closed her eyes to feel. Less than a second later, she felt a power of laws descend upon her from the void.

That feeling was incredibly wondrous.

It was as if she had traveled through time, opening all 108 law apertures within her body in the future, and then returned to the present moment.

During this process, every detail of how each orifice point opened, how to do it more safely, and the changes in her body were engraved deeply in her mind.

At that moment, Bai Zhi’s face was filled with realization, as if she was in a state of epiphany. Her body moved like an agile female leopard, her muscles, tendons, and bones all taut, as she methodically performed her body tempering skills!

Her body tempering skills were evidently different from Fang Ze’s [Mountain Moving Body Tempering Skills]. The [Mountain Moving Body Tempering Skills] was already very powerful by itself, but her body tempering skills were even more fierce and dominant! At that moment, she seemed to transform into a long blade capable of slicing through everything!

Fang Ze stood quietly by Bai Zhi’s side, closely watching her to avoid any accidents, while also thinking about other things.

According to Qing Ya’s previous explanation, there are a total of 108 law apertures within a person’s body.

To open these law apertures, apart from contemplating heaven and earth and continuously using the already internally circulated Power of Laws within the body to impact the orifice points, one can only consume heavenly treasures and earthly marvels, leveraging the abundant power of laws contained within them to forcefully impact the law apertures.

The former is slow, talent-dependent, but safe; the latter is fast, low on talent requirements, but costly and risky.

Bai Zhi’s recent injuries were due to her failed attempt to violently impact her law apertures using the latter method.

Compared to these two methods, using [Credit World] to enhance cultivation combines the advantages of both, being both fast and safe. The only issue is that it is costly.

Fang Ze spent a total of 16 million Lini to begin Forge Tendon Tempering. Subsequently, it cost 1 million Lini per orifice point, totaling 108 million for 108 aperture points, summing up to 124 million.

Currently, Bai Zhi has opened 82 law apertures, with 26 more to reach perfection. Fang Ze initially thought it would cost at least 26 million Lini. That’s why he extracted 4 times the money from Bai Ling last night.

Who would have thought… when he used the Credit World ability just now, Fang Ze was surprised to discover the resources Bai Zhi needed to open her apertures were much less than what he needed! One aperture point required only 200,000 Lini!

Opening 26 orifice points cost only 5.2 million! One-fifth of Fang Ze’s cost!

It’s essential to know that Fang Ze’s martial arts talent is actually decent, not top-tier, but at least one in a hundred! Yet, he was utterly overshadowed by Bai Zhi!

This made Fang Ze feel doubly blessed: happy for Bai Zhi’s talent, seeing her as a powerful ally, and delighted for earning 20 times the profit from Bai Ling!

With this billion earned, he finally paid off one-twentieth of the 2 billion Lini debt he owed….

….

Meanwhile, as Bai Zhi rapidly enhanced her power through [Credit World].

In the Provincial Government, at the Chairperson’s estate.

He Weidao and others, who were holding a military meeting, also received a note from Fang Ze….
