"Dammit, this is so hard!"
Wu Pifu was sharpening the enormous wild boar tusk against the alloy steel.
What appeared to be a bone wild boar tusk was actually scraping against the alloy steel, sending sparks flying, and even causing some metal shavings to come off.
Yet, the wild boar tusk only had a slight amount of powder on it, even less than the shavings from the alloy steel.
This tusk's hardness had already surpassed that of steel from the twenty-ninth century!?
Since the death of the Wild Boar Giant Demon, one of its two tusks had shattered on the spot, turning to powder, which was the one that had already been refined.
The remaining wild boar tusk was entirely white like jade, and one could even see the sunlight through it when held up.
This tusk was about one meter and eight centimeters long, with a width just right for Wu Pifu to grasp with one hand.
It felt icy to the touch and was as tough as steel.
Considering that one of the tusks had been refined into a large blade, Wu Pifu naturally felt tempted.
After leaving Bianliang, Wu Pifu had found a piece of metal scrap from Gaia.
Although it was merely metal from a broken cryosleep pod and certainly not as tough as the deck metal, it was still of alloy grade.
He had been sharpening this wild boar tusk every day for the past three days, yet he hadn't even managed to sharpen the edge of the tusk.
It seemed he was still far from completely refining the wild boar tusk into a blade.
Now, Wu Pifu was heading north.
He was determined to turn this Mud Buddha Night Demon Dream World into his rear base.
The predecessors all yearned for a large rear base dream world.
Such a dream world would either have very few nightmares or extremely weak ones, making it relatively safe to stay in.
One must know that Gaia actually had nothing.
Before Wu Pifu activated the medical base station, even healing had to be meticulously calculated.
Ordinary light injuries or certain degrees of severe injuries would generally not require the use of the treatment pod.
Moreover, eating was also a significant problem, and people needed an environment and entertainment, all of which were completely absent on Gaia.
Unless it was a post-nuclear apocalypse scenario or a direct ghostly graveyard, the environment of a dream world was undoubtedly hundreds of times better than that of Gaia, where all life’s needs could be met.
Wu Pifu also longed for a safe base in the dream world, a true rear base that could be used for living.
There was no doubt that this inadvertently acquired fifth-level shelter from the Song Dynasty could meet all these needs.
The title system obtained from the fifth-level shelter had already extracted the sources of pollution from this world.
As long as one guarded it for one day every thirty days, new nightmares would be prevented from being born in this world.
The only danger was the existing nightmares.
This actually made Wu Pifu, who had already developed a phobia of the "Mother of No Life," feel a sense of safety.
Literally understood, there was no doubt that the main brain had isolated the infiltration of those lower-level powers into this world, making it truly "sheltered."
The only threat was the existing nightmares in this world, which was also why Wu Pifu was heading north.
Other nightmares were hard to find, but the remnants of the Jin people in the north had to be eradicated!
Wu Pifu put down the wild boar tusk and looked at the roasted meat on the fire.
The golden chunks of meat were sizzling with oil, and just by looking, one could tell they were delicious.
"Chirp chirp!"
A little bird kept chirping by his ear, even pecking at his ear with its beak.
"Alright, alright, but you can't eat too much at once. Last time, you fainted for a whole day and night!"
Wu Pifu helplessly took out a fist-sized crystal gem from his pack and then chipped off a piece the size of a fingernail from it.
The little bird swallowed the small piece of gem in one gulp and then made a dissatisfied sound.
"Good, be obedient, it's all yours, but you must have moderation."
Wu Pifu comforted the little bird and put the gem back in his pocket, then began to turn the golden meat.
The meat of the Wild Boar Giant Demon was indeed worthy of being the flesh and blood of a three-hundred-year-old great demon.
Each piece, the size of a standard steak, had a blood qi enhancement equivalent to that of a hundred-year-old ginseng of the same weight, and it also contained some special components that could strengthen the physique of the eater.
In just these four or five days of consumption, Wu Pifu's progress in the Human Immortal Martial Dao had already slightly improved.
His skin training had increased from 93.7% to 94.8%, an increase of 1.1, while his flesh training had risen from 4.42% to 6%, an increase of 0.18.
This was only in four or five days, and among those, three days were spent on the road.
If calculated, the efficiency of practicing the Human Immortal Martial Dao for half a day was probably not even reached.
Moreover, the meat of the Wild Boar Giant Demon had not even consumed 0.1%, which meant that Wu Pifu could completely rely on the flesh and blood of the Wild Boar Giant Demon to achieve great success in skin and flesh training!
The only regret was that there were no Human Immortal Martial Dao techniques after reaching the flesh training realm.
If there were, he could undoubtedly even aspire to reach great success in the next layer of muscle training.
At this moment, as Wu Pifu saw the boar demon meat fully cooked, he didn't care about the sizzling oil droplets on top.
He reached out and took a piece of wild boar meat from the fire, three fingers thick and the size of four palms.
He bit down and took a fifth of it off.
His teeth were as sharp as steel blades, and after chewing it into pieces, he swallowed it down.
In just a few minutes, this large piece of pure meat was consumed.
Then, Wu Pifu felt his entire body surging with blood qi, and waves of white smoke escaped from his pores.
Wu Pifu did not dare to be negligent; he immediately stood still, slowly twisted his spine, and began to practice the Green Python Shedding Skin Technique, bit by bit practicing the Human Immortal Martial Dao to enhance his physical foundation.
Dripping water penetrates stone, a rope saws through wood; this was the foundation of martial arts.
Although Wu Pifu's strength was formidable, it mostly came from rewards and opportunities, and his foundation accumulation and sedimentation were still insufficient.
Every day of training now was actually deepening this accumulation and sedimentation, and over time, the improvement to his strength would be no less than a sudden encounter with a fortuitous event.
By the time he finished all this, it was around one-thirty to two o'clock in the afternoon.
Wu Pifu looked at the sky, then took out a map from his bosom to determine the direction.
He then led out two steeds from beside the trees, riding one and leading the other, continuing northward.
Sitting on the horse, Wu Pifu didn't even need to hold the reins.
No matter how bumpy it was, he felt as if he were sitting on flat ground, and his hands were naturally freed.
Taking advantage of the galloping horse, he continued to sharpen the wild boar tusk with the alloy steel block.
After traveling for a while, a town suddenly appeared ahead.
Wu Pifu paid it no mind and let the horse carry him toward the town.
From a distance, the town was still built according to the customs of this era, a military fortress town with walls.
Outside the town were residential areas built against the walls, with villages and settlements.
It didn't seem prosperous, but at least it was a place with people.
This was the land of the former Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and now the Liao-Jin-Song Kingdom.
It sounded somewhat contradictory and complex, but the actual situation was indeed like that.
The former Liao Kingdom was simple; this was Liao territory.
However, with the Jin people, these barbaric primitives from the black mountains and white waters, emerging from the deep mountains and forests, they directly crushed and annihilated the Liao Kingdom.
During this time, the Song Dynasty's Emperor Song Huan sent troops to assist the Jin in attacking the Liao Kingdom.
When Wu Pifu first arrived in this world, he learned from his father-in-law in Bianliang about the Song Dynasty's victory, which was actually the joint attack on the Liao Kingdom with the Jin people, commonly referred to as the Song Dynasty Armed Parade.
Of course, that was before.
With the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, the humiliation of Jingkang that should have occurred was directly interrupted by Wu Pifu, who even killed the Wild Boar Giant Demon with three hundred years of cultivation.
Moreover, in the battle beneath Bianliang, the elite troops of the Jin were controlled by the pollution source, going berserk and losing their minds to charge at Wu Pifu, attempting to rescue the Wild Boar Giant Demon.
As a result, they were ambushed and slaughtered by the Song army, and Wu Pifu killed an unknown number, leaving only a fraction alive.
After the Wild Boar Giant Demon was killed, the remaining Jin troops fled back to Liao territory.
This was not all; Wu Pifu had been pursuing them for days, and aside from a small number of Jin troops, the majority of their forces and tribes had already fled north.
The entire Liao territory immediately fell into a strange atmosphere.
The Liao Kingdom was no more, and most of the Liao forces had completely surrendered to the Jin.
However, now the Jin were on the verge of extinction, with at least over thirty thousand of the most elite Jin troops dead beneath Bianliang.
These were not the surrendered troops of the Liao Kingdom or the Song people, but the true elite troops of the Jin, guarding their ancestors.
Thirty thousand strong men, the real Jin armed forces, had been reduced to almost none, and the Jin people were on the brink of extinction.
Thus, as Wu Pifu pursued, the Jin forces had long since fled.
The various cities and forces in Liao territory were suddenly in a daze.
The Liao family still had some subtle forces in existence, but they were not systematic.
The Jin forces had not yet deeply rooted themselves; they came quickly and left quickly.
As a result, the Song forces, which were already systematic and influential, could easily send a large army northward to reclaim the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, unless they were too cowardly.
However, Zong Ze was not a coward.
He had already begun to operate on this matter, but Wu Pifu was unaware of it.
As Wu Pifu arrived at the outskirts of this town with two horses, he soon found that he didn't even need to shout.
The originally closed city gates immediately opened, and a group of people quickly emerged.
A group of officials, dressed in clothing resembling that of the Song people but with some Liao characteristics, and even hairstyles resembling those of the Jin, knelt on the ground, holding a round plate with an official seal on it.
Wu Pifu ignored them and rode past them, saying, "Arrange accommodation for me, feed my horses, and find someone to tell me the escape route of the Jin troops.
Oh, and..."
What notable demons or great monsters are nearby, or any famous places or figures related to shadow puppetry, witchcraft, or any kind of divine protection or household gods?
""All this information should be delivered to me as well.
"Wu Pifu then entered the town on his own. Leaving the officials and local power leaders, wealthy gentry kneeling on the official road, they all sighed in relief long after Wu Pifu had passed. Someone asked the chief official,"Sir, we can ignore those defeated Jin troops, but what about the Immortal Masters... we cannot provoke them.
"The chief official immediately glared, slapping his hand down,"Nonsense!
Immortal Masters!?
The one who just passed was a true immortal! Those people are all charlatans and sorcerers, all evil and heretical! Don't you know that?
"The man looked blankly at the chief official, completely unaware of what he was talking about. The chief official was exasperated,"If it weren't for the fact that you're my nephew, you wouldn't even be standing here!
Just the day before yesterday, a city was foolishly closed off under the instigation of those charlatans, daring to block this true immortal.
Do you know what happened?
""The true immortal simply slapped the city wall open, then took the city lord's head amidst thousands of troops, killing hundreds, especially those charlatans who didn't escape.
Then he wanted to build a capital, but...
"Upon hearing"capital,"the man shivered; that was already terrifying. But there was a"but"?
He immediately asked,"Uncle, what do you mean by 'but'?"The chief official was also trembling, whispering,"This one is a god of slaughter! He actually used quicklime mixed with water, claiming it could make some kind of cement for permanence.
The result... was so tragic; those heads were all boiled and melted together.
""Now, don't even mention the crying children or the fleeing Jin troops.
If it weren't for my life and family being here, I would want to flee too; I wouldn't even dare to cry!"
"Bloody, brutal, terrifying!"
"Known as the Bloodhand Immortal Butcher, Wu Pifu!"
