Chapter 64

Inside the room.

Jiang Li was completely naked, revealing his well-defined and intimidating muscles and bones.

Recently, his height had grown rapidly, reaching 1.9 meters.

He took out a set of silver needles, carefully located the acupoints, and slowly inserted them into his body. Soon, his entire body was covered with silver needles, and a tingling sensation began to spread.

"So itchy, I really want to pull these needles out," Jiang Li's teeth chattered.

Even without the electricity, the feeling of being a human porcupine was extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he had a strong will and great endurance. After the experience of being pierced through the chest by a long sword during the military training, he had matured a lot. He meditated on the "Furnace Refining Heart Ape Method," transforming the mental pain into a raging ape and refining it with the furnace fire.

A golden pill seemed to be shining in his forehead.

"Power on!"

He pressed the button.

Zzz... Zzz... Zzz...

Electric currents flickered on the silver needles.

Ah!

At that moment, Jiang Li felt as if he was being cut into a thousand pieces. The intense pain almost made him faint, but he did not lose consciousness. He clearly felt each acupoint being cut and dug by a small knife.

"It really hurts..." His teeth were bleeding, making a metallic sound, and his muscles were cramping. He almost jumped up.

But he held on, knowing that jumping would ruin everything.

He had to sit still, keep the silver needles in place, endure the pain, and use his strong mind to feel the current in his neurons, gradually becoming familiar with the nature of electricity. Only then could he cultivate the Thunder Technique.

"Father, how long do you think Jiang Li can endure?" Outside, Chu Xixi was observing Jiang Li's changes on the large screen. Although Jiang Li was completely naked, she did not care, her face expressionless and calm.

At the same time, Chu Shan was also closely observing Jiang Li on the screen.

"Many experts faint within a minute the first time they try the Thunder Needle Body Cultivation Technique, with their hearts convulsing. I wonder how long he can hold on," Chu Shan was very curious.

Jiang Li's pain was increasing. At the moment of power-on, he felt intense pain, but as time passed, it felt as if millions of tiny ants were biting him, making him want to scream.

This physical pain, added to the mental anguish, was almost enough to drive a person to madness.

The sensation of pain and itching was so intense that it made him want to tear his flesh off piece by piece.

"Endure, endure the pain." Jiang Li sat still, knowing this was a test. If he couldn't endure this pain, how could he achieve great things?

"Austerities are the best way to temper the spirit. In the past, even Shakyamuni was an ascetic. Eventually, his body could no longer support the austerities, and he met a shepherdess who gave him milk. After drinking it, he gained the strength to sit under the Bodhi tree, achieve enlightenment, and become a holy being." Chu Xixi licked her lips, seeing Jiang Li's body tremble in the video, as if she could feel the same pain. She had also practiced the Thunder Needle Body Cultivation Technique.

"Universal Brain, Emperor's Thunder Seal!"

In the midst of intense pain, Jiang Li began to meditate on the Emperor's Thunder Seal to distract himself.

Boom!

In the depths of his mind, countless thunderbolts reappeared. His hands made different movements, steady, swift, and fierce.

Gradually, the pain lessened, and he felt the current from the silver needles merging with the thunder in his mind.

He persisted, his spirit becoming clear and sharp. His mind seemed to be absorbing the power of the current, gradually growing stronger, and the meditation on the thunder in his mind became faster.

His hair stood on end, just like Gu Xiong's that day.

"What's happening? He's not in pain?" Chu Xixi noticed Jiang Li's reaction.

"Hmm? What kind of Thunder Seal hand gesture is this? I've never seen it before," Chu Shan was also puzzled, as the Emperor's Thunder Seal only had hand gestures, no meditation or chanting, and its subtleties were not obvious.

"I don't know where he learned this messy martial art, probably from the internet." Chu Xixi shook her head and continued to observe.

Jiang Li was in a state of peace and tranquility, the pain from the silver needles having no effect on him. After five minutes, the current flickered, and the energy seemed to be depleted, requiring recharging.

Jiang Li's body trembled, and the silver needles fell off.

He opened his eyes, which were as bright as lightning, feeling that his cultivation had deepened, and his understanding of the Emperor's Thunder Seal had become more profound. At the same time, his body trembled slightly, and his muscles, neurons, and blood vessels were well-exercised by the current.

Hungry.

He then felt a wave of hunger and quickly took out the Moon Essence.

One bottle, two bottles... five bottles.

He took five bottles, stopping only when his pores began to exude moonlight, which entered and exited with his breathing, eventually being absorbed into his body.

A person with a Life Force of 1 only needed one drop of Moon Essence per day; any more would be excessive. Jiang Li had just consumed the equivalent of fifty days' worth for one person, barely enough to meet his nutritional needs.

Clap, clap, clap...

When Jiang Li came out of the room dressed, Chu Shan applauded on the video: "Jiang Li, you are indeed a genius, worthy of cultivation. I really want to see how far you can grow."

"The Moon Essence is gone..." Jiang Li smiled bitterly, having only two bottles left. If he continued to practice the Thunder Needle Body Cultivation Technique, it wouldn't be enough for a day's consumption.

During his cultivation, he found that the Thunder Needle Body Cultivation Technique was indeed very helpful for practicing the Emperor's Thunder Seal.

The Emperor's Thunder Seal was the most profound Thunder Technique, difficult to comprehend, while the Thunder Needle Body Cultivation Technique helped familiarize him with electricity, eventually leading to an understanding of thunder. With a solid foundation, he could build a high tower.

"Unfortunately, the Sun and Moon Group has stopped supplying us with Moon Essence," Chu Shan shook his head. "We need to find a way to break their blockade."

"Damn it." Jiang Li cursed inwardly, remembering the condescending looks of Jiang Liu and Gu Xiong that day.

To continue cultivating, he needed sufficient resources.

"Should I go to the black market again?" Jiang Li thought. "No, it's too dangerous. The Sun and Moon Group is definitely watching me. Although I'm not afraid, I shouldn't do something that's clearly suicidal."

He had seen the supersonic killing power of the Zhongwu mecha. Nothing could withstand it; it would be torn apart.

Night.

In the black market of Xuhua City, a large black cat moved through the darkness.

It was as fast as the wind, and its movements were so swift that it left no trace. In the darkness, it moved like a ghost.

In a dark alley, several large men were running quickly, each carrying a gun. They had just come from the headquarters of the Sun and Moon Group, where they had bought medicine.

"Feels great. The Sun and Moon Group has drastically reduced the price of Moon Essence, so we can all afford it."

"Let's go back and take it, and get hypnotized. If we keep this up, we can make a name for ourselves."

"Haha, with such strength, we can carve out a place for ourselves."

"Today's robbery was a big one. The guy had over a hundred thousand in the black market, what a fat target." ...

The life force of these men was between 0.8 and 0.9, and with their guns, few could rob them. But as they entered the dark alley, a large black cat emerged, meowing.

Instantly, the men staggered and were instantly hypnotized.

The black cat walked over to them, searching and soon found several bottles of Moon Essence. It drank one bottle and then entered a crevice in the wall, beginning to meditate.

A few hours later, it opened its eyes, which were as bright as snow.

It stored the remaining Moon Essence.

Every day, the black cat did the same thing, growing stronger each day. It roamed the black market, hypnotizing criminals, and obtaining nutrients, pills, and Moon Essence, which it consumed. During the day, it hid in the crevices of the walls, meditating and studying on its optical brain.

After ten days, the black cat's body underwent a qualitative change. It became agile and swift, its roar like thunder, and its claws could leave deep grooves in the walls. Its vocal cords also changed, allowing it to produce more varied tones.

Finally, during one meditation, it suddenly spoke in human language: "Jiang Li!"

It had undergone a transformation, learning to speak, thanks to the large amount of Moon Essence, which had changed its vocal cords, giving it the ability to learn more languages.

Another night.

The black cat emerged from the wall crevice to "hunt" again.

This time, its target was a Life Force 1 expert who had just rushed out of the Sun and Moon Group.

The expert moved quickly, shooting several gangsters who were watching him, and then quickly left. The black cat followed quietly, without the expert noticing.

The expert reached an empty alley, and the black cat blocked his path, appearing in front of him.

"Scare me, it's just a cat." The expert took out his gun, but upon seeing it was a large black cat, he spat.

"Go to sleep, go to sleep..." The black cat spoke in a human voice, its tone smooth and hypnotic. "Isn't your body tired? You haven't rested in a long time..."

"Yes, yes..." The expert could not resist the black cat's hypnosis. He fell into a deep sleep, but he was no match for the black cat.

Thud!

He fell to the ground.

The black cat searched him, finding several bottles of Moon Essence. It drank one bottle and muttered to itself, "It seems my cells have been modified, greatly increasing my ability to absorb nutrients."

Then, it looked at the unconscious expert, "How much money do you have in your account?"

"100,000..." the expert mumbled.

"Good, get up and transfer it to this account..." The black cat recited a series of account numbers, which were actually Jiang Li's.

"I'll transfer, I'll transfer." Under the black cat's powerful hypnosis, the expert obeyed, taking out his chip, entering the password, and making the transfer.

Ding!

Jiang Li, who was meditating late at night, suddenly woke up. He found that his account had mysteriously increased by 100,000 star coins.

"What happened? Who transferred money to me?" He was puzzled and quickly checked the source of the transfer, finding it was from an unknown person in the black market of Xuhua City.

"Windfall?" Jiang Li found it hard to believe.

Ding, an email arrived, and a video of the black cat appeared, speaking in a human voice: "Jiang Li, this money is from someone I hypnotized. Don't panic."

"What?"

Jiang Li almost jumped up.
