Closing the panel, Qing Ming once again closed his eyes, then raised his hand to form a hand seal and used the 'Palm Sage Technique' to begin strengthening his body.
Next, he needed to test how long it would take for his body to reach the threshold for the next metamorphosis under the enhancement of the perfected 'Palm Sage Technique.'
As for the 'Mental' attribute, he already had an estimate.
Based on previous experience, when his Sharingan's evolution reaches the third stage, that is, when it exceeds (20000/50000), it should be able to nurture the mind, promoting its growth.
And this time can be calculated.
Currently, his Sharingan evolution is at (18448/50000), and by using 'Mind Reflection Technique' daily, he gains 96 points of evolution.
Thus, in just over sixteen days, he should surpass (20000/50000).
At that point, his 'Mental' attribute would increase.
As for his 'Physique' attribute, he needed to test it again.
As the foundation of his strength, Qing Ming had to keep track of the growth progress of both his 'Mental' and 'Physique' attributes.
With this thought, Qing Ming focused and began silently cultivating.
...
Time passed by minute by minute.
Under the night sky.
Qing Ming sat cross-legged, continuously using the 'Palm Sage Technique,' gathering Yang Release chakra to enhance the cells in every part of his body.
Occasionally, when he felt something was off, he would activate his Mangekyō Sharingan, using the power of his right eye, 'Man's Control,' to guide his body's evolution.
And so, one round after another.
Crackle~
It was unclear how much time had passed, but when the campfire in front of Qing Ming was nearly extinguished, he finally stopped cultivating.
Qing Ming focused his mind, carefully sensing the changes in his body.
After a long while, he opened his eyes.
A flash of brilliance appeared in his eyes.
A smile appeared on Qing Ming's face.
There was no other reason; after estimating, he figured that in about two months, his body would reach the threshold for the next metamorphosis.
It seemed that this was similar to the last time.
But let's not forget that the increase in body attributes becomes more difficult as time goes on.
In other words, the time that should have been required for this metamorphosis would definitely exceed two months, but because his 'Palm Sage Technique' had reached the perfected stage, the effect of enhancing his body had increased, thus shortening the time.
Qing Ming was very satisfied with this.
Rising to his feet, he extinguished the campfire and was about to leave.
But just then, something seemed to come to mind. He suddenly pulled a kunai from his ninja tool pouch, rolled up his sleeve, and swiftly slashed it across his arm.
With a "snip" sound, a large amount of blood gushed out, and a long cut appeared on his left arm.
Qing Ming gritted his teeth to endure the pain, not opting for treatment, and just quietly watched.
He could clearly feel that his chakra was naturally gathering at the wound, and the surrounding flesh seemed to be activated as it rapidly healed with the chakra's supplementation.
One second, two seconds, one minute, two minutes.
Soon, three minutes had passed.
Qing Ming wiped away the blood scab, revealing the smooth skin beneath.
At that moment, the joy on Qing Ming's face could no longer be concealed.
"Not bad! Very good!"
As Qing Ming rubbed his arm, which had healed completely, he muttered to himself.
When his 'Physique' attribute had increased from 17 to 18, he had performed a similar test back then.
At that time, it had taken about five minutes for his arm to fully heal.
But now, after his 'Physique' attribute increased from 18 to 19 and then from 19 to 20, it only took about three minutes to completely heal.
This speed had directly improved by nearly 40%.
How could Qing Ming not be happy about this?
And this was only at a 'Physique' of 20 points. What if it reached 25, 30, 50, or even 100? How powerful would the effect be?
Qing Ming could hardly imagine!
Perhaps by that time, even Hashirama Senju would not dare to claim that his regenerative abilities were superior in front of him!
However, reaching that point would not be easy, and he still needed to continue working hard.
Thus, after indulging for a while, Qing Ming collected his emotions, cleaned up the blood on the ground, and activated 'Wind Release: Wind Wings' to fly back to the Black Stone Base.
The night passed without incident.
...
The next day.
Morning.
After having breakfast, Qing Ming was about to go outside and continue his cultivation, as usual.
However, at that moment, a messenger chunin stopped him, saying that Sano Nobuhisa wanted him to attend a meeting.
Upon hearing this, Qing Ming furrowed his brows slightly.
To be honest, he didn't want to go to the meeting.
Because to him, it seemed like a complete waste of time.
The Mist Ninjas hadn't attacked, and the meeting would only be about trivial matters, which really wasn't worth his energy.
However, considering the rules of the base and Sano Nobuhisa's leniency over the past ten days in allowing him to use shadow clones for tasks, Qing Ming ultimately decided to give him the courtesy.
It wouldn't take too long, and he could just use more shadow clones to continue his training later.
With that thought, Qing Ming walked straight toward the meeting room.
He arrived quite early and greeted a few of his colleagues before he began using the 'Palm Sage Technique' to strengthen his body.
A few of his colleagues were already used to his actions and knew he was cultivating, so no one bothered him.
Time passed, second by second.
About half an hour later.
Sano Nobuhisa entered the meeting room.
Qing Ming opened his eyes and immediately noticed the smile on his face, which he could hardly conceal.
Clearly, there was some good news.
In fact, it was indeed so.
After a few brief opening words, he announced the good news.
"Just now, we received news from the headquarters that yesterday, the village and Iwagakure held their first round of negotiations."
Sano Nobuhisa said.
"What?"
"How did it go?"
"Will there be a ceasefire?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, some were shocked, others asked questions, and some were worried.
In short, the meeting room immediately became chaotic.
Ahem~
Sano Nobuhisa cleared his throat a couple of times, and after the room quieted down, he said, "It is said that the negotiations went quite smoothly. Both sides have decided to hold the second round of talks in five days."
"If everything goes smoothly, at the latest by the end of this month or as early as the middle of this month, both sides will sign a ceasefire agreement."
Upon hearing this, smiles appeared on everyone's faces in the meeting room.
Except for a few extremists, no one liked war. Nearly two or three years of conflict had made everyone's war-weary emotions reach their peak.
This was the same in both Konoha and Iwagakure.
That's why negotiations were even possible.
These people might not realize it, but Qing Ming was very clear that this negotiation would likely succeed. Although there would be some hurdles before the peace agreement was signed, it would indeed lead to a ceasefire.
At that time, Konoha would finally be free to address the situation here, and once the Mist Village was repelled, the Ninja World War would be nearly over.
Considering this, everyone in the meeting room was understandably happy.
However...
'Would the Mist Village be willing to give up the benefits they've gained?'
Qing Ming didn't believe it.
But in the end, it was only a few more battles.
Qing Ming wasn't too afraid of that.
Thus, a smile also appeared on his face.
After that, Sano Nobuhisa answered everyone's questions and cleared up any confusion. He also assigned the tasks for the day before concluding the meeting.
Walking out of the meeting room, Qing Ming paused briefly, then flew out of the base, continuing his cultivation.
The negotiations had little to do with him; he just needed to focus on improving himself.
Qing Ming firmly believed that the strongest fist was the most convincing argument!
