Chapter 29
He went to the scripture depository to pick out a divine soul cultivation technique and added it to his schedule.
At that time, he would have to cultivate another cultivation technique.
Correspondingly, he would also gain an additional trump card with the strength of his divine soul.
Soon, Li Ming collected his thoughts.
Those were all matters for the future. The most important thing now was to make a breakthrough in his strength.
He could sense that he was only one step away from breaking through from the peak of the eighth level of qi refinement and the peak of the fifth level of the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art.
If he could successfully take that step, his strength would go up another level.
Soon after.
Somewhere in the back mountain.
Li Ming was sitting in an empty cave that he had created with his fist and then sealed with soil.
“I’ll take the yang forging pills first and begin my breakthrough attempt!”
He was very confident because he had already cultivated the six basic skills of body refinement to perfection.
The last step was for him to make use of and circulate blazing sun true qi.
As the yang forging pills entered his stomach one after another, he immediately felt his stomach heat up.
The heat in his dantian began to quickly flow to all parts of his body.
His legs, hands, chest, and internal organs…
Under the stimulation of the flow of heat, the temperature began to rise sharply.
This was the transformation of the blazing sun true qi into blazing sun true fire. Li Ming clenched his fists and concentrated on circulating the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art.
“Peng!”
As the true fire spread, the speed of the circulation began to exceed Li Ming’s control. He completely let it be because he knew that this was the effect of [Martial Arts Prodigy].
The efficiency of his body tempering had been increased by 200%!
In layman’s terms, it meant that a single refinement would bring about the effect of two additional refinements.
At the critical moment of the breakthrough, the medicinal effects of the pills would begin to take effect. This was the best opportunity to carry out the breakthrough!
The blazing sun true fire began to circulate quickly in Li Ming’s body.
The increase in the efficiency of the training seemed to double the pain. Li Ming’s face turned pale, and he felt the pain in his body continue to intensify. It was far beyond his initial expectations.
The pain of being roasted caused all his muscles to spontaneously convulse.
However, Li Ming had to stay still and use his willpower and mind to maintain the flow within his meridians. This was an important moment. He did not want to fail here.
“Hiss.”
Li Ming’s blood also seemed to be affected by the blazing sun true fire and began to burn.
This burning of his blood brought a wave of new blood. This was blood changing in the truest sense.
However, this came with immense pain.
“Thump, thump…”
The blazing sun true qi in his burning blood seeped into every muscle in his body.
His muscles, which were originally reinforced with steel, were now twisting and twitching like earthworms. There were bulging blue veins all over his body. Just looking at this scene was quite terrifying.
His skin was as bright red as a piece of iron that was being forged in high temperatures.
A trace of madness flashed in Li Ming’s eyes. Just like that, he tempered his body repeatedly.
“Boom!”
After completing a large circulation of the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art, all the blazing sun true fire that had been thoroughly refined changed again.
The dark-colored flame that was roasting his meridians slowly turned back to green. It was as if the energy was being absorbed by his cells.
Then, every cell began to transform on a large scale, and layers of dust floated from the surface of his body onto the cave.
These were no longer impurities, but unnecessary muscle structures that had been enhanced by the bones, marrow, and internal organs.
The periosteum, fascias, and other internal weak areas all experienced a qualitative change, and the amount of energy consumed during this process was uncountable.
“It’s still increasing!”
After reaching the sixth level of the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art, the blazing sun true qi between Li Ming’s bones and muscles seeped out of his body like a tiny flame.
That was the symbol of the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art—the true flame!
However, to Li Ming’s surprise, after he reached the sixth level of the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art, the changes in his body did not stop.
The blazing sun true qi on the surface of his body was still growing. In just a few breaths, it had already covered his entire body and formed a layer of true flame.
Without any pause, he from breaking through to the sixth level to quickly consolidating his newly-reached level to the completion of the level. Li Ming felt the frightening efficiency of the [Martial Arts Prodigy] entry from every subtle change in his body.
“Amazing! It’s too amazing!”
Li Ming did not care about the true fire that was still burning in his body, and he casually drew a fist shadow in the air.
His punches left fist marks that were a few inches deep on the stone wall.
He felt that he still had some energy left, but he could only reach the peak of the sixth level in the end. This was because the qualitative change of the true flame had already reached a very mature stage.
However, he was only one step away from the seventh level, which was the martial dao foundation establishment stage!
Li Ming, who had the [Martial Arts Prodigy], felt that he was definitely an undisputed body refinement genius.
He circulated the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art without any more obstructions.
All of the meridians in the body, even the organs, could be connected in an instant.
Li Ming waved his palm in the air excitedly.
A stream of blazing sun true qi flew out from his palm and directly hit the mud seal of the cave. With a muffled sound, it directly exploded, revealing the fresh air outside.
“This flame can be casually shot out and can display powerful might. The true might of the Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art only begins to emerge at this point.”
Li Ming remembered that his little junior sister was also at the perfected level of the qi refinement stage and was only a step away from the foundation establishment stage.
His Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art had already reached the peak of the sixth level, and he was now only a step away from the foundation establishment stage.
In this short period of time, his body tempering had actually caught up…
While Li Ming was excited, he also felt that he, who was at the peak of the eighth level of qi refinement, could not stop here.
He immediately sat down and consumed a qi sea pill.
His dantian, which was shrouded by a spiritual mist, was entirely filled with the core lake. It then began to undergo a shocking change.
The ninth level of qi refinement!
He had also broken through successfully in his qi cultivation.
Compared to his body cultivation, his qi cultivation was still much worse.
But at least he no longer had any shortcomings.
His divine soul was very strong, his spiritual qi was also alright, and his physical body was very strong as well.
Li Ming was very happy.
Just as he had expected, his strength had greatly improved, and his overall combat power was off the charts!
Li Ming no longer had any fear toward anyone below the foundation establishment stage.
He gathered his thoughts and walked out of the cave.
Walking in the back mountain, he began to think about the next steps of his cultivation.
His first priority right now was to reach the foundation establishment stage. If he wanted to establish his martial dao foundation, he could not relax on his physical training during this time!
This was especially so for the six basic skills of body tempering. He had to practice them repeatedly and continue to improve his life essence.
His second priority was to prepare some resources for his martial dao foundation establishment.
When he thought of this, Li Ming remembered that he had promised Junior Sister Chen that he would form a team with her to participate in the inner sect trial.
In this inner sect trial test, there would be many disciples who had perfected their qi refinement that would be participating.
Because the secret realm was only available to qi refinement disciples, naturally, the higher the strength they had at the qi refinement stage, the more generous the rewards they would receive.
This was an inner sect trial for the entire sect. Even Chen Qingke had to form a team, so one could imagine how strong those who would be participating were.
Those disciples who had perfected the qi refinement stage were not on the same level as Duan Xiuwen whom he had fought before.
Before entering the inner sect trial, he had made a breakthrough in both his body and qi cultivation. His Blazing Sun Body Tempering Art, in particular, had reached the sixth level.
Li Ming was even more confident in doing well in the inner sect trial now.
