Although he had a premonition, the Giant Spirit God's enthusiasm still caught Lin Xuan off guard. However, as their conversation continued, he quickly grew accustomed to it.
Cultivators of the Body Tempering lineage were almost always so straightforward, and General Chen was no exception. He also readily accepted it.
"By the way, now that you've ascended to the Body Tempering Xuan Xian realm, you should be lacking a suitable Body Tempering cultivation technique, right?"
"After reaching the Xuan Xian realm, it's not like before. Even if you have a powerful physical body, you'll struggle to improve further without a guiding method,"
the Giant Spirit God suddenly said.
"I'm indeed troubled by this matter. I was planning to accumulate some Battle Merit Points and then exchange for a technique,"
Lin Xuan nodded. His True Dragon Nine Transformations was only a red word, and it was already insufficient for his current needs. He could only barely cultivate with it, but his progress was slow, and the efficiency and body-tempering effects were both mediocre.
However, the Heavenly Court Treasury had all kinds of resources, and there were definitely many techniques available, including Body Tempering techniques. But these were obviously not given to Heavenly Generals for free. They needed to be exchanged using a large number of Battle Merit Points!
Even not considering higher-level techniques, even a Body Tempering technique like the True Dragon Nine Transformations required a lot of Battle Merit Points. The price for slightly higher-level techniques would be even higher. Lin Xuan was indeed a bit troubled by this, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't have any powerful masters to rely on.
Compared to ordinary loose cultivators, he, a Heavenly General, could gradually earn Battle Merit Points through missions and exchange for techniques, which was already good enough.
The Heavenly Court bestowing a Great Dao Immortal Technique was already an unimaginable reward, it was impossible for them to directly bestow a powerful Body Tempering technique.
"No need to exchange. You're serving under me. I can't guarantee anything else, but there's no shortage of Body Tempering techniques for you!"
The Giant Spirit God patted Lin Xuan's shoulder with his large hand, laughing loudly. Then, he pointed a finger and shot out a beam of light that merged into Lin Xuan's Heavenly Spirit.
Instantly, Lin Xuan's heart trembled, and a brilliant light surged in his mind, revealing a profound and exquisite Body Tempering technique. It radiated dazzling golden light, and through this technique, he could vaguely see a powerful giant who could tear mountains and rivers apart and carry mountains and move the moon with every move!
The name of this technique also appeared directly in his mind - Giant Spirit God Technique!
"Giant Spirit God Technique? Is this the Giant Spirit God's personal cultivation technique?"
Lin Xuan was overjoyed. He had previously thought about whether the Giant Spirit God would have any rewards for him, but he hadn't expected this Giant Spirit God Technique.
A brief comparison showed that the Giant Spirit God Technique's exquisiteness and upper limit were far superior to the True Dragon Nine Transformations!
Moreover, he noticed that a golden word had appeared on his body – Giant Spirit God Technique, clearly the result of this technique.
However, after forming into words, the two Body Tempering technique words began to merge, the golden Giant Spirit God Technique and the red True Dragon Nine Transformations.
In a flash, both words disappeared, replaced by a stronger golden word technique - Immortal Golden Body!
……………………
Immortal Golden Body (Gold): The Immortal Golden Body, imbued with the indestructible attribute, possesses immense resistance to all Divine Abilities and techniques, providing invincible defense!
……………………
"Immortal Golden Body? It seems more inclined towards defense. Good, excellent."
Lin Xuan secretly rejoiced. Invincible defense represented extremely strong survivability, which was far more precious than offensive abilities!
Moreover, the power of the Immortal Golden Body was definitely not weak. After all, it was a more powerful technique than the Giant Spirit God Technique, and even though both were golden words, there was still a quality gap.
It was clear that the Giant Spirit God's strength was renowned within the Golden Immortal realm, thanks to the Giant Spirit God Technique. His Immortal Golden Body was even stronger, with immeasurable potential for the future!
"This subordinate is grateful for your gift, Lord! The Giant Spirit God Technique is truly a timely blessing for me."
Lin Xuan, with an expression of gratitude, bowed to the Giant Spirit God, expressing his sincere thanks.
If he had to exchange for a Body Tempering technique using Battle Merit Points, he would probably need a massive amount of Battle Merit Points to acquire a technique of this level. It was something he wouldn't even dare to think about in the short term. Now, not only did he get it, but he also received it at a time when he desperately needed it. It was like receiving coal in winter, and the Giant Spirit God's act was truly a great favor!
"Haha, a mere technique is nothing. It's good that it's useful to you."
The Giant Spirit God, seeing Lin Xuan's expression, couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that he had chosen the right person to give his Giant Spirit God Technique to.
Judging from the speed at which Lin Xuan was improving, coupled with the guidance of the Giant Spirit God Technique, his strength would likely continue to grow rapidly. This would be a significant boost for him. Perhaps he could even catch up to General Chen from back then!
If Lin Xuan was fortunate enough to ascend to the Golden Immortal realm in the future, he could be considered a strong individual brought up by him, a debt of gratitude to a half-master!
"By the way, I recently obtained a Red Sun Fruit and a gourd of Five-Turn Golden Pills. Take them and refine them. I think they should help you improve."
"These resources aren't particularly precious. Take them."
The Giant Spirit God then took out some cultivation resources and forcefully gave them to Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan couldn't refuse. He was incredibly kind to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan thanked him again, but didn't refuse. After all, he had already taken the technique. It was good to accept these resources. Once his strength increased in the future, he could find ways to repay him.
Afterward, they chatted for a while longer, and the Giant Spirit God took him to the Heavenly Soldier Academy, gathering 3,000 Heavenly Soldiers, including some Heavenly Soldier Captains. These would be his subordinates from now on, accompanying him on missions.
The Giant Spirit God then left, while Lin Xuan, accompanied by his Heavenly Soldiers, went to the training ground for a while to familiarize themselves with the Heavenly General battle formations.
At the same time, he also cultivated for a period, refining the resources gifted by the Giant Spirit God and switching his body-tempering technique to the Immortal Golden Body. Though his realm didn't increase, his strength improved, especially his defensive power, which was extremely formidable.
"Just right. The thousand-year expedition time has arrived. Let's go out and fight."
Soon, Lin Xuan led his 3,000 Heavenly Soldiers, accepting a mission from the Heavenly General Hall. They descended to the mortal realm to conquer Xuan Xian Great Demonic Beasts wreaking havoc!
As a Heavenly General, during the thousand-year expedition, he naturally led his troops down to the mortal realm to carry out missions. Other Heavenly Generals were the same. This was a mandatory standard set by the Heavenly Court, which had to be fulfilled.
The process of slaying demons in the mortal realm was quite straightforward and went smoothly. With his cultivation level, most of the expedition missions he received involved Xuan Xian realm early-stage demonic beasts. He could easily eliminate them without any suspense!
Occasionally, when he encountered Xuan Xian realm demonic beasts with higher cultivation, he was still no match for them. As long as he unleashed the Immortal Golden Body, he could easily overpower them!
Moreover, he had accumulated a vast amount of word-based abilities. Even without the Crimson Firmament Sword, he rarely encountered anyone within the Xuan Xian realm who could surpass him in strength!
As for encountering unlucky incidents like the Mei Shan Seven Fiends, this kind of situation was rare, with a low probability. At least, he had not encountered anything like that yet.
