"No, I must raise the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique' to the Small Success of the Fifth Layer before the finals. Only then will my bodily defense massively improve, making me truly impervious to swords and spears!"
Having reached the Four-level Perfection of defensive martial arts, Ling Xiao was not satisfied, but he had now encountered a rather big problem.
Breaking through from the fourth layer to the fifth required at least one hundred thousand taels of gold.
And he currently had only about ten thousand taels of gold left, which, even if all were used up, could only slightly improve the 'Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique' on the basis of the fourth layer.
To make a breakthrough to the fifth layer was simply impossible!
However, having some was better than none, and Ling Xiao planned to use up the remaining ten thousand taels of gold first.
Afterward, he would find ways to hunt Monster Beasts and exchange them for gold.
