Qinghua state was undergoing revolutionary changes, primarily starting with pills which gradually came into the view of Condensation Law Realm Martial Artists. All Martial Artists knew one common sense fact—that pills could speed up the cultivation of Martial Arts and increase the chances of breakthroughs.
Artifact Refining also entered the sight of Martial Artists, and almost all former blacksmiths turned to learn and cultivate the Technique of Artifact Refining. With the spread of Artifact Refining techniques, the greatest change was the enhancement of the weapons wielded by Martial Artists.
This resulted in a significant boost in the overall strength of Qinghua state, most evidently seen in the Blood Disciples and Blood Slaves of the Netherworld Cave. The pressure they faced had substantially increased from one battle to the next.
The power exhibited by the weapons of Qinghua state's Martial Artists had increased by more than thirty percent.
