Chapter Forty-Four: Violent Pulse
"It's done, the Wind Spirit Liquid is complete, and it's a perfect medicine, without any flaws." Denox poured the purple-blue liquid into a vial and handed it to Xiao Chen, saying respectfully: "Master, with this vial of medicine, advancing two star levels will be no problem."
In his words, Denoix exuded strong confidence as a Seven-Star Alchemist.
"Oh." Xiao Chen took the bottle of spiritual liquid, gazing at it. The purple-blue color inside was like a living thing, constantly swirling around. Although separated by the medicine bottle, the surrounding wind elements were all subtly gathering together. Even the whirlpool in his lower abdomen seemed to be responding, spinning with increasing urgency.
"How to use?"
"The perfect medicine, Cong Feng Ling Ye, basically won't have any problems, as long as you take it drop by drop and absorb it according to your own spiritual endurance. However, you must be slow, the liquid contains a strong wind energy that can cut through flesh, which is not something an ordinary person can endure. Based on Master's spiritual power, I estimate that two days should be enough time to fully absorb this bottle of medicine."
"Alright, I'll take it and absorb it, you can close the door now."
Xiao Chen said and did, getting up and coming to the cultivation quiet room in the suite.
The room is not large, inside, a faint fragrance of incense wafts through the air. This is an aromatic medicine extracted from a plant, which is an essential auxiliary for Fa practitioners to cultivate. After lighting it up, it disperses the breath and can calm the mind, improving the efficiency of meditation.
Xiao Chen sat on the ground, took out that bottle of Condensed Wind Elixir and poured a drop into his mouth.
The medicine enters the mouth and dissolves instantly, in a flash, a strong gust of energy spreads to all four limbs.
Huh?
Xiao Chen let out a low grunt.
The wind energy contained in the Gale Medicine is extremely pure, it's the essence extracted from the Wind Spirit Fruit. This one drop contains almost as much wind energy as Xiao Chen had absorbed previously.
This massive energy surged into Xiao Chen's body, wreaking havoc as if a thousand blades of wind were slicing through his flesh, every bone, blood vessel and meridian being torn apart by an invisible knife, an ordinary person would probably scream in agony.
But this pain is not without its benefits.
Under the tempering, the spirit seems to be operating in a subtle manner, and the white soul body has more solid signs.
"Ah, indeed it's a bit painful, but not enough to see."
Xiao Chen let out a loud roar, his spiritual power suppressing downwards, controlling the flow of energy as it flowed along the blood vessels and poured into the dantian.
Boom!
The dantian vortex that absorbed the Congfeng Spirit Liquid energy was like taking a strong tonic, rapidly expanding and spinning at high speed. Within it, threads of cyan-purple color were visible, showing signs of breaking through.
"This energy is very pure and good. I have already sensed its medicinal properties, which can be fully absorbed at once, and with its help, the meridians can be opened up."
Xiao Chen thought of a way, although it was very dangerous, but for himself, it was a real transformation, laying a solid foundation for a leap in strength.
In the past, it took a year to gradually complete the step of penetrating the meridians through slow nourishment. However, this physical body is now old and its meridians are stiff, so severe symptoms require strong medicine.
He took out a small pouch, inside which were hundreds of gold needles forged together with silver needles.
"Master, what are you doing?" Denoakes looked at him in confusion, only to see Xiao Chen open the Congfeng Spirit Liquid's medicine bottle and drink almost half of it directly.
"What's this, master? Danger! You can't drink it like that." Denox exclaimed.
"It doesn't matter, I feel that pain can stimulate the growth of spiritual power, ah."
Xiao Chen let out a furious roar.
The explosion's energy slammed into him, his entire body's clothes "popping" into countless fragments. The half-bottle of Condensed Wind Spirit Liquid was at least seven or eight times the amount from last time. The energy within was too enormous, as if it would instantly tear his body apart into countless tiny pieces of flesh.
This is true dismemberment, a thousand times more painful than lingchi, with pain growing exponentially, stimulating the soul's violent trembling.
The body twisted under the impact of energy, skin on the surface cracked and split, large tendons bulged out like giant earthworms, all over the body, threads of fresh blood seeped through, becoming a bloody person.
Some scenes similar to Hane's self-explosion are very terrifying.
"Master!" Denox was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but he had no way to help, this was the energy rampaging in Xiao Chen's body, and now he was just a soul body, there was simply no way for him to assist.
But at this moment, Xiao Chen plucked a golden needle and stabbed it into his body like lightning.
When Xiao Chen was enduring unimaginable agony, his divine sense still enveloped every detail within his body. The torrential energy inside him violently impacted his bones, meridians, and flesh. At the same time, hundreds of stagnant points in his meridians throughout his body also suffered from this powerful energy's impact.
Xiao Chen's strike hit the weakest point of energy impact, just like finding a small hole in a dam that was about to collapse under the impact of floodwaters.
A thousand-mile dike collapses because of an ant nest.
Boom!
All the energy found a breakthrough, swarming towards that small opening, under the enormous pressure, that small opening finally could not withstand the impact and burst open wider and wider.
Xiao Chen endured this brutal impact with a dead expression.
Suddenly, a loud noise came from within Xiao Chen's body, as if something had exploded.
Xiao Chen violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Not good!" Denox wanted to take action.
"Don't move!" Xiao Chen roared.
In his body, the vital energy and blood were like a flood bursting through a dam, breaking through an obstruction point, rushing down like a river...
A single meridian has finally been unblocked.
Xiao Chen's eyes remained unchanged as he picked up another golden needle and stabbed it into another weak point of the blood stasis.
With experience, Xiao Chen became even more calm and continued to draw the gourd, using the violent energy of the Cong Feng Spirit Liquid to impact his meridians.
This method of rushing forward is unheard of, truly disregarding life and death, as long as there's a slight difference, it's a dead end with no place to bury oneself, similar to Haern's outcome, not something a sane person can achieve.
Dong...
Dong...
Dong...
A cracking sound exploded within him repeatedly.
The depressed meridians were opened one by one.
The process was unbearably painful and prolonged, with Xiao Chen always on the verge of exploding. Despite this hellish torture, Xiao Chen's face only occasionally furrowed slightly, and he didn't show any unusual signs.
"Madman, too mad, it's not something a human can do." Denoix, this old antique was also deeply shocked.
Time, little by little, slips away.
It got dark and then lit up again.
The energy that had been raging inside Xiao Chen finally began to subside gradually.
Suddenly, countless wind elements rushed towards Xiao Chen in a hurry, forming an enormous vortex around him, causing the entire quiet room to howl with a piercing whistle.
After a brief whirl, all the wind elements were absorbed into Xiao Chen's dantian.
All he saw was that the thumb-sized whirlwind in his dantian had grown into a chicken egg-sized whirlwind, with a hint of purple inside.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes, with excitement in his gaze.
"Alright, I've finally broken through to the 4-star Fa Shi, and about half of my meridians are now unblocked. At this rate, if I finish drinking this bottle of Condensed Wind Elixir, I should be able to unblock all of my meridians."
