Looking at the metal pot before him, Lin Cheng couldn't help but shake his head.
There were five green pills in the iron pot. In addition, there were some paste, which was the medicinal liquid that had yet to form the pills.
"Without the Azure Flame, my cultivation is too low. The amount of medicinal materials I need is this high, yet I can only concoct five medicinal pellets." Lin City felt a little regretful. In the past, when he possessed the Blue Flames, even if he did not have any elemental energy in his body, every time he refined a pill, it would be sufficient to condense all the medicinal liquids into pills.
"It seems I have to increase my strength as soon as possible. Only then will I have the ability to find the Azure Flame." Lin Cheng thought. Back then when he accidentally found the Azure Flame, he spent a lot of time trying various methods, and even almost lost his life a few times. Only then did he manage to obtain a strand of Azure Flame, and as a result, gained the title of Medicine King.
And now, if he wanted to achieve the same level of mastery as his previous life on the path of alchemy, he had to find the Azure Flame!
However, this time, he already knew the location of the azure flame. At the same time, he also had talent for cultivation and as long as he had enough strength, he believed that this time, he could take away all the azure flame.
With the Blue Flames, he would be able to make superior pills and ensure that he wouldn't lose his life when his dantian broke.
"These five pills are sufficient for me to recover. However, I'm afraid that it isn't sufficient for me to reach Zongshi realm. If I can't do it, I'll just use all of these medicinal liquids!" Lin Cheng was slightly helpless. When had he ever seen a medicinal liquid that didn't form a pill? In his eyes, that was trash, but now, he had to use it.
Lin City once again had a strong desire for power!
"Since it's refined from three different types of medicinal herbs, let's see what the Three Treasures Pill is like." Lin Cheng muttered to himself. This kind of simple pill was something even the highest tier alchemists could forge easily. Many of the pills were so easily concocted that they didn't even have a name.
Putting away the five pills, Lin Cheng found a small bottle and kept the remaining medicinal solution in it before heading back to his room to cultivate. However, before this, he'd done something small at the entrance of the courtyard. Once someone entered, he would be the first to know.
The result of being betrayed by Zuo Mu reminded him that he definitely could not allow this to happen a second time.
As soon as the pill was swallowed, Lin Cheng immediately felt a warm current roil through his stomach. He knew that the pill was beginning to take effect, so he quickly activated the Sky Spill Mystical Technique and channeled his elemental energy within his body.
As the Yuan Power flowed through his limbs and bones, the scalding heat gradually weakened, while Lin Cheng's injured organs were rapidly recovering. Even his external injuries were healing faster.
After circulating thirty-six cycles, Lin Cheng's entire body was brimming with energy, the blood in his body had become much more vigorous, and the hunger caused by not eating for a few days was instantly swept away. Lin Cheng only felt his body brimming with energy, and the elemental energy in his body had also become more abundant.
"Although this Lin Yu's cultivation isn't high, he has left behind a good foundation. The 3rd level of the Rebirth Realm has already reached the threshold of cultivation. As long as I completely heal my injuries, I can recover to my original state."
Feeling the surging power in his body, Lin Chen thought to himself, "It looks like it's not that this Lin Yu doesn't have a high talent, it's just that he doesn't have any cultivation resources, and lacks the assistance of elixirs. At this rate, I might be able to break through once I finish consuming five Triple Treasures."
Seeing the hope for a breakthrough, Lin City exerted even more effort in his cultivation.
Five days quietly passed just like this.
On the sixth day.
Early morning.
Lin Cheng, who was sitting cross-legged on his bed, suddenly opened his eyes. A light flashed across his eyes, and he let out a long breath.
Following which, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Breathing out Qi like a rainbow, fourth level of the Rebirth Realm!"
Five Three-Treasured Pellets and Lin Cheng's desperate cultivation, he actually managed to completely recover in five days and even broke through to the small realm, reaching the 4th level of the Body Refinement Realm!
"If I have enough dan beads, entering the realm of Arterial Circulation within a year is definitely not a problem!" Lin Cheng thought.
On the path of cultivation, the higher the realm, the harder it was to break through.
A prodigy could continuously break through during the day and reach the Pulse Rotation Stage in half a year's time, but that kind of talent was something that could only be found by chance. Lin Cheng reckoned that with his current body's talent, being able to break through to the Pulse Rotation Stage within a year was already pretty good.
As for the higher realm of Dan Hai, it was not something that could be achieved by just hard work. It was something that required perception and the support of powerful dan beads.
The Danhai Realm was the dividing line between the martial way and the celestial way!
Once a warrior broke into the Dan Hai realm, his dantian would shatter, but not destroy his foundation. Instead, it would turn into a flow of elemental energy, the result of natural evolution when the elemental energy in his body was accumulated to a sufficient degree.
The flow of elemental energy passed through the chakra that formed in the meridian channels when one was at the Arterial Circulation Realm, and the elemental energy gradually transformed into spiritual energy. The body also began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, the process of breaking the dantian when one entered the Danhai stage was extremely dangerous. It was far from enough to rely only on strength and hard work in cultivation. One's perception and luck could not be lacking, but the most important thing was the support of the pellet.
Under the powerful effects of the top quality pills, even if one's dantian was shattered, a martial artist would be able to stabilize themselves and have enough time to guide the spirit energy through the meridians to convert it into spirit energy, allowing them to step into the path of immortality and become a cultivator!
"Unfortunately, I won't be able to obtain any more resources in the Lin Family. If I want to break through, I can only rely on myself." Lin Cheng was very clear on this point, "To obtain the resources, you have to go outside of the Lin Clan." Lin Cheng was very clear on this, "To obtain the resources, you have to go outside of the Lin Clan.
"Since I can't break through in the short term, I can only train my combat skills!"
"A strong combat skill can let a martial artist defeat someone with a higher cultivation. But in my mind, there are countless combat skills!"
Lin City was brimming with energy and confidence.
"Seven Star Cloud-Stepping Steps!" Superior Common Tier Movement Technique combined with middle Common Tier Fierce Demon Palm would be able to display an extraordinary amount of power, and would even be able to display the effects of an Earth Tier Battle Skill … I'll take these two! "
After choosing his battle technique and movement technique, Lin Cheng stood up and walked to the courtyard to start cultivating.
His body moved slightly, and crisp crackling sounds came from his body. This meant that his vital energy and blood were vigorous, and his bones were even stronger.
Dozens of years of painstaking efforts to find a method of cultivation, coupled with the pressure from the outside world, had caused Lin Cheng to almost forget about food and sleep. When he grew tired from training, he sat down and began to cultivate.
The effect of this kind of diligent training was also astonishing. In just a few days time, Lin City had already grasped the initial Fierce Demon Palm, and had become more proficient in the Seven Stars Cloud-Stepping Steps.
Today, Lin City was still cultivating.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"
With three consecutive sonic booms, the figure of Lin City in the courtyard flashed three times. Its speed was as fast as a ghost and it actually appeared in three different directions at the same time. However, in the blink of an eye, the other two figures disappeared.
He couldn't help but reveal a happy expression, "Two afterimages. Seven Stars Cloud-Stepping Steps has finally reached the small success stage." Next, I'll have to try my Fierce Demon Palm. "
Fierce Demon Palm. With only a single move, all of the Yuan Power in the body was instantly gathered in both hands. With a single palm strike, it was just like Fierce Demon. It was extremely powerful and lethal.
This battle skill was extremely fierce and powerful, and it consumed a lot of elemental energy. Although it was not suitable to be used for a long period of time, if it was caught off guard, it would be enough to threaten a peak body level expert.
"Crash!"
Just as Lin Cheng was about to try Fierce Demon Palm, he suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from outside the courtyard. He immediately frowned; someone had touched the little mechanism he had set up outside the courtyard. Someone was coming!
With a thought, Lin Cheng immediately sat down on a nearby chair and pretended to be weak.
"Creak!" A sound.
The door to the courtyard was pushed open and a middle-aged man walked in. A cold gleam flashed across Lin City's eyes. Qin Muyang, the physician who tried to kill him!
Qin Muyang's figure was in a sorry state, his trousers were drenched, and it was obvious that he was the one who had triggered the trap.
Seeing Lin Cheng sitting in the courtyard, Qin Muyang was slightly taken aback. Subconsciously, he asked, "Are you still alive?"
Lin Cheng pretended to be weak as he sneered, "What? Doctor Qin doesn't want me to live?"
Qin Muyang was stunned and said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "Of course not, eldest young master is joking, how could I not wish for eldest young master to live …"
"Then what are you doing here?" Lin Cheng interrupted him.
"I am... to see how the young master is doing, do you still need me to treat him? " Qin Muyang rolled his eyes and said with a smile.
"Now that you see it, I don't need it. Please go back." Lin Cheng coldly said.
Qin Muyang said, "Since Eldest Young Master is so weak, don't force yourself to hold on. Coincidentally, I have a bottle of medicinal liquid here that can help Eldest Young Master heal his injuries as soon as possible."
Qin Mu Yang retrieved a porcelain bottle from his robes and walked up to Lin Cheng. He removed the bottle's stopper, intending to pour it into Lin Cheng's mouth.
A cold light flashed past Lin Cheng's eyes, his killing intent soaring. He didn't even need to look to know that this was a Star Orchid Grass concocted poison just by smelling the medicinal liquid in the porcelain bottle. Even if someone with a strong physique were to use it, he would die on the spot.
Qin Muyang saw that there was no reaction from Lin Cheng, and a cold sneer appeared on his face. He lifted his hand and prepared to pour the medicinal liquid into Lin Cheng's mouth.
