"Of course... I'll definitely come back if there's a chance," Zheng-Fu said in his throat with a sly smile, then walked away.

Zheng-Fu aimed to return to Hai-Dong's ship to study the Golden Emperor Armor Body Skill textbook to see if he could restore the missing content.

Half a shichen had passed on Hai-Dong's ship, in Zheng-Fu's room...

'The Golden Emperor Armor Body Skill is a legendary body skill. If one can successfully practice, the strength of that person's body will be comparable to the word 'invincible.' Even an attack from a high-level Divine Emperor martial master will make it difficult to scratch that person. This body skill is divided into four stages:

1. The Golden Nascent Soul Armor stage

2. The Golden Immortal Armor stage

3. The Golden Immortal Soul Armor stage

4. The Golden Emperor Armor stage'

'Successfully practicing this body skill is not an easy task, but if one can be successfully practiced, the results will be very rewarding upon completion. You will become physically superior to anyone else in this world.'

"Huh...? The description of this skill is so over-majestic. If so, where is the owner of this skill now? Tch... But it's worth trying. If I can practice successfully and the result is exactly what the description says, then I will… ha ha ha!!!"

Zheng-Fu, who had finished reading the skill textbook's description, smiled happily, along with the idea that flowed into his head that made him laugh out loud. Fortunately, he had a sealed protection spell around his room, making it impossible for people outside to hear his voice.

"Alright, I'll give it a try. First, I've got to start with the first stage of cultivation that exists in the textbook."

[The first stage: the Golden Nascent Soul Armor Stage]

'Swirl the energy throughout the body, merging it into one. Energy is the body; the body is energy.'

As soon as Zheng-Fu tried doing what the textbook had written, his body immediately changed. Originally, he only had a few muscles, but now his muscles had expanded visibly. Plus, his skin looked firmer and stronger.

'Relax for flexibility. Be strong to resist.'

Thud!!! Thud!!! Thud!!!

Booooooom!!!

Suddenly, an intense energy wave burst out from Zheng-Fu's body, causing his clothes to be torn to shreds in an instant. It revealed the muscles that looked more clearly than before, and his complexion became even shinier than before. But these were only the external effects.

In fact, Zheng-Fu's body had already been elevated to another level because he was able to successfully cultivate the first stage of the Golden Emperor Armor Body Skill. Since Zheng-Fu's energy level was already at the Immortal Soul stage, combined with his hard training, he was able to pass the first stage of this skill with ease.

"Phew!!! I can already feel that the strength of my body is significantly greater than before just by achieving the first stage. What if I complete the second, third, and fourth stages of this body skill?" Zheng-Fu said happily after he had successfully cultivated the first stage of this body skill.

Previously, he still did not believe the description he had read. But after he had successfully practiced the first stage, those thoughts disappeared. He was clearly aware of the results. Just by practicing the first stage, his body had greatly strengthened.

Therefore, Zheng-Fu now had a strong feeling of wanting to cultivate the second and next stages. But the second, third, and fourth stages were missing, so he could not practice anymore unless the mysterious dimension that had helped him in the past would arise again and help him cultivate the remaining three stages.

But it was not as easy as Zheng-Fu thought. He did not even know how to make that dimension happen. It had been a long time since the mysterious dimension had appeared to him. And this time, Zheng-Fu was not sure if it would appear. If it had not appeared, what he had hoped for would have collapsed.

Having made up his mind, Zheng-Fu immediately sat down and began to meditate. He also took out a lot of Immortal Qi energy stones. He thought that to enter the mysterious dimension, it was necessary to use Qi energy to drive the dimension to work.

An hour had passed...

Two hours had passed...

Four hours had passed...

"Damn! Why does nothing happen at all?" Zheng-Fu could not help but be moody as he sat cross-legged for more than two shichen, but nothing happened.

"If it's like this, even sitting all day won't work. So, what should I do now?" Zheng-Fu felt that his brain could not figure out what to do to make the mysterious dimension work.

Zheng-Fu took another hour to think. In the end, still unable to figure out a way, he gave up on that idea. Because he was hungry now, Zheng-Fu came out of his room and went to the dining room inside the ship to get something to eat.

But when he arrived, he found that Hai-Dong, who had previously been unconscious, had regained consciousness and was sitting and eating and drinking with a not-very-good face.

"Brother Hai-Dong, are you alright?" Zheng-Fu asked as he walked closer to Hai-Dong.

"Um... I've recovered, but I'm still not feeling good. I still feel dizzy now. Fortunately, I brought the drunk elimination leaf; otherwise, I would have slept for a long time until tomorrow," Hai-Dong replied as he shook his head and rubbed his eyes, still feeling dizzy.

"By the way, where have you been? My people said that you just came back a few shichens ago, right?" After telling him his condition, Hai-Dong asked Zheng-Fu back with suspicion.

"After I brought you to the ship, I went for a walk around the city before stopping by the Heavenly Trade Association to shop for some items and bought these talismans," Zheng-Fu told Hai-Dong where he went while taking out the talismans for Hai-Dong to see.

Huh...?

"These talismans? Did you buy all of them?" As soon as Hai-Dong saw the spelled talismans in Zheng-Fu's hand, his eyes, which seemed to be half asleep, suddenly opened up wide, and he asked curiously.

"Yes, I bought them all... But what about them, Brother Hai-Dong?" Zheng-Fu nodded in response, asking back suspiciously, seeing Hai-Dong's expression just now.

"Well, these spelled talismans within the Artsy Water Sect are much cheaper. If you want them, just tell me; I'll buy them for you," Hai-Dong immediately explained to Zheng-Fu that inside the sect, there were many spelled talismans like the ones he bought. Plus, they were cheaper than outside.

Oh!!!

Zheng-Fu let out a smile after hearing Hai-Dong's explanation. At first, he thought that something serious was going to happen, but it was just a matter of price. In fact, Zheng-Fu also knew this well, but this time money was not a big deal for him.

Wasting money on these spelled talismans was much more valuable than that. It brought him to know Elder Sang-He, the manager of this Heavenly Trade Association, Reversed Stream Port City Branch, and he also received some additional money back. It could be said that he had the full benefit.

"Don't think too much; it's just money. As long as we're alive, as long as we haven't died, we can earn money," Zheng-Fu smiled as he replied to Hai-Dong without any trouble.

"Sigh... It's true, as you said. It's just money. If we haven't died, we can earn it. But that amount was not small at all. At least the price of these spelled talismans is definitely over a hundred million coins.

But if you buy them from Artsy Water Sect, the price will only be around seven to eighty million coins."

Hai-Dong was still lamenting about the money Zheng-Fu had unfortunately lost because, if calculated, the difference deducted would be approximately two to three hundred million.

"Forget it, Big Brother. By the way, when will you return to the sect?" Zheng-Fu waved his hand back and forth, turning to ask Hai-Dong about returning to the sect instead.

"Probably tomorrow. Because tomorrow the sect will recruit new disciples, we who are current disciples are waiting for the time to return to the sect at this time as well," Hai-Dong said with a sly smile on his face as he thought of the new disciple's admission to the sect tomorrow.

Tomorrow, there would be a number of people coming in to apply to become Artsy Water Sect's disciples, and of course, there would also be teenage girls. Then, could Hai-Dong, a young man who adored these things, miss the opportunity? And with his status, those inexperienced teenage girls would surely be willing to come and get to know him.

"It's just like this... I'd also like to apply to become a disciple of the Artsy Water Sect. It's just that I have a lot of business to take care of, so I can't participate," Zheng-Fu said sadly.

Since joining a sect required him to stay within the sect for one year before he could go out of the sect, Zheng-Fu's burdens and duties made him unable to join any sect. But even then, his destination was still the Artsy Water Sect.

That was Supreme Elder or Qun-Qi's master who wanted to meet him. He wished to know as well if this elder or those within the Artsy Water Sect had a moving spell that could lead him to the Hell region or not.

"It's such a pity that you can't become a disciple of the same sect as me; otherwise, we'd have more fun doing it," Hai-Dong also said regretfully that Zheng-Fu could not join the Artsy Water Sect.

"Even if we're not the same sect's disciples, we are sworn brothers now. We can eat and drink together whenever we like. Why are you thinking so much?" Zheng-Fu smiled as he comforted Hai-Dong, making him feel better. The two of them had already vowed to be brothers, and there was a reason to come and see each other at any time.

"Um... That's true, Brother Zheng-Fu, we've already sworn brothers. What I was thinking was very shallow. Come on, let's have a drink. Tomorrow, I'll take you to my sect too," Hai-Dong threw off his sorrowful expression and replaced it with a smile as he raised a jar of liquor and handed it over to Zheng-Fu.

"Thank you, Big Brother," Zheng-Fu took the liquor jar, said thank you, then immediately raised the jar and drank it.

Gulp gulp gulp!!!
