21 – Special Constitution

“Huh, Brother Wang Ping, your cultivation…” Chi Feng was somewhat astonished.

He could feel that compared to just a short while ago, Wang Ping’s vitality had increased by more than just a little bit.

This aura was even stronger than his own.

And now, he was in the late stage of the Skin Refining Realm.

Doesn’t that mean Brother Wang Ping’s cultivation has reached the peak of the Skin Refining Realm?

This is indeed incredible.

After all, earlier Brother Wang Ping was still an ordinary person, not even in the Flesh Refining Realm.

“My constitution is rather special; I can enhance my cultivation by absorbing spirit stones.”

After some thought, Wang Ping gave this response.

His cultivation speed in the future would surely be astonishing, so he needed a suitable reason.

At the same time, Wang Ping could use this reason to ask the Village Chief for more spirit stones.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult to obtain spirit stones on his own.

Without spirit stones, he couldn’t simulate.

“A special constitution, huh? I’ve heard my grandfather mention that there are many unique constitutions in this world, each with various powers. For example, the Fire Spirit Body can enhance cultivation speed in fire attribute techniques and can even boost battle power.”

Chi Feng looked at Wang Ping with some envy and said, “Brother Wang Ping, having a special constitution is really great. If I also had a spirit body, my cultivation speed would surely be very fast.”

“Special constitutions are innate; you can’t force it.”

Wang Ping smiled, walked over, and patted Chi Feng’s head.

“Not necessarily.” Chi Feng’s large black eyes were full of longing as he spoke: “My grandfather said some spirit bodies are not innate but are created by powerful cultivators who changed their constitutions and then passed them down. Therefore, those families are called Spirit Clans, mysterious and powerful.”

Hearing this, Wang Ping was surprised.

Powerful cultivators could actually change their constitutions, creating spirit bodies, and even pass them down?

The cultivation system in this world is truly amazing.

“Unfortunately, there were no such powerful people among my ancestors.” Chi Feng muttered, clenching his fists: “But I will definitely become such a strong person and develop a powerful Spirit Clan!”

“You have ambition, I believe you can do it.” Wang Ping smiled and started walking outside, “Alright, let’s go eat.”

“Hmm!” Chi Feng quickly followed after hearing this.

When the two of them arrived at the shared meal area, many people noticed them.

For a moment, everyone in the village who looked at Wang Ping had a stunned expression.

“Wang Ping boy, your cultivation…” Chi Hu was somewhat doubtful.

The Village Chief was also visibly unsettled. After all, Wang Ping was just an ordinary person before.

“My constitution is rather special; I can enhance my cultivation by absorbing spirit stones,” Wang Ping repeated.

“A special constitution?” Upon hearing this, everyone in Chi Village was utterly astonished. “A constitution that can absorb spirit stones to enhance cultivation, how incredibly powerful that is…”

“A special constitution…” The Village Chief slightly frowned, muttering to himself, and then looked at Wang Ping deeply.

No wonder Wang Ping came to him asking for spirit stones; it turns out he has a special constitution.

However, there are some contradictions here.

Because if Wang Ping truly had a special constitution, he should have already become a powerful cultivator; he couldn’t have been a weak ordinary person before.

As for the notion that Wang Ping’s family couldn’t provide spirit stones, that didn’t seem realistic either.

Considering that Wang Ping’s guards could protect him deep into the Black Wind Forest, it at least indicated they had Acquired Realm cultivation, and not just a few of them. Otherwise, it would be impossible to come here.

Having Acquired Realm martial artists as guards but not being able to produce spirit stones was indeed contradictory.
However, everyone has their own secrets, and the Village Chief had no intention of probing into Wang Ping’s secrets.

After all, Wang Ping harbored no ill will towards Chi Village and even held great goodwill. That was enough.

“Not bad, your future is limitless…” The Village Chief patted Wang Ping’s shoulder and said.

Wang Ping knew the Village Chief had sensed something amiss, but having absorbed over a decade of life experiences, he no longer felt awkward or uneasy. He just smiled and said, “Village Chief, I wonder if I could ask for more spirit stones. I want to quickly enhance my cultivation.”

“Of course,” the Village Chief nodded and said, “I’ll give you another hundred lower-grade spirit stones in a moment. But for now, let’s eat.”

“Thank you, Village Chief.”

Wang Ping bowed slightly in gratitude.

He knew that Chi Village was hiding from the Li family in Black Wind Forest, and their reserves of spirit stones were not abundant.

Because spirit stone mines were exceptionally valuable, they were basically controlled by the Great Xia Empire or by powerful clans and sects.

Spirit stones in the market were rare, and it was difficult to exchange gold and silver for them.

Even if they could be exchanged, it would attract attention.

This did not align with Chi Village’s low-profile style.

Therefore, Chi Village’s cultivation resources mainly came from hunting demonic beasts, consuming their meat, and processing their inner cores.

The Village Chief had previously given him ten lower-grade spirit stones.

Now, not only did he have no intention of probing his secrets, but he also generously offered another hundred lower-grade spirit stones, which was undoubtedly extremely kind to him.

This kindness, Wang Ping remembered in his heart, and he vowed to save all the people of Chi Village.

“You are considered a benefactor of Chi Village, no need to thank me.” The Village Chief patted Wang Ping’s shoulder and said, “However, remember, even if you join a sect or clan in the future, try not to reveal your special physique. The hearts of people are unpredictable.”

“I understand.”

Wang Ping nodded seriously.

As a transmigrator, he understood this principle better than anyone.

“It’s good that you understand,” the Village Chief nodded and said, “Alright, let’s eat.”

“Hmm.” Wang Ping smiled and followed.

Next, under the warm and respectful gazes of the people of Chi Village, Wang Ping began to eat and drink heartily.

Due to his enhanced cultivation, he ate even more, which finally allowed him to eat to his heart’s content.

After the meal, the Village Chief gave Wang Ping a hundred lower-grade spirit stones.

Furthermore, to facilitate Wang Ping’s carrying, he directly gave him a lower-grade storage ring.

“Village Chief, this storage ring is very precious; I can’t accept it.”

Upon seeing this, Wang Ping was both surprised and delighted, but he quickly reacted and wanted to refuse.

“Storage rings are indeed very precious, and only a few in the Innate Realm are qualified to own them. However, you need it more than we do when traveling outside.”

The Village Chief said earnestly.

“Wang Ping, you don’t have to refuse. Consider this my investment in you. Once you grow stronger, please look after Chi Village.”

After a pause, the Village Chief continued, sighing.

Hearing this, Wang Ping was momentarily stunned, then he no longer refused and accepted the storage ring, solemnly saying, “As long as I am alive, Chi Village will be safe.”

“That’s great.” Upon hearing this, the Village Chief was very pleased.

Wang Ping’s origins were mysterious, his physique special, and he had the potential to reach the realm above the Spirit Origin Realm.

Once Wang Ping grew stronger, they wouldn’t have to hide in the dangerous Black Wind Forest anymore.
