In the forest, the mottled moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and fell onto the ground, causing Bamboo Lover's pretty face to turn even more pale.

She pursed her lips so tightly that she was about to cry.

Ever since she had dispelled the mystical skill, the piercing pain in her meridians had immediately disappeared. However, her heart had actually become anxious.

"Will my circulation activate the poison? Then, will the poison show itself …"

"His entire body is festering, he'll become a terrifying monster …"

The more Zhu Zi thought about it, the more scared he became. Finally, he couldn't help but shout out, "Little thief! Sigh! Little thief, stop cultivating! "

However, Lin Cheng had no reaction at all.

Zhu Zi bit her lips and made up her mind. She stood up and walked towards Lin City.

"Hu!"

At this moment, Lin Cheng's palms suddenly changed positions. He placed his hands together and the spirit stones in his hands immediately turned into dust.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ziyang immediately stopped in her tracks. She was on the verge of going crazy. Lin City's posture was extremely familiar to her; it was clearly a posture only someone who wanted to open up their meridians.

"This little thief is actually about to break through at this time!" "If I disturb him at this time, maybe he'll start practicing Qi deviation, maybe even damage his foundation …" Zhu Ziquan was about to go crazy. But what should I do? "

Lin City was indeed at the critical point of its breakthrough.

He did not want to break through to the next realm, but wanted to open up his meridians.

The spiritual energy contained within these Spirit Stones was simply too pure. That kind of pure energy made Lin Cheng feel as if he had eaten a miraculous elixir, and his entire body was filled with power.

The only thing he regretted was that the spiritual energy from the spirit stone had entered his body and circulated within his meridians. After a full cycle, the ice-cold, comfortable feeling gradually disappeared.

Lin City knew that this was because his cultivation was too low and his dantian had yet to evolve into a Dan Sea. Although his body could hold spirit energy, it was unable to store spirit energy.

The spiritual energy within the spirit stone circulated within his body for a full cycle, nourishing his flesh and meridians, improving his physique. However, other than this, he could not absorb it directly.

This feeling was similar to when he was still at the Heaven Life and Death Pulse in his previous life. He cultivated profound arts, and the heaven and earth origin energy circled around his body once before quickly disappearing without a trace.

Right now, he was absorbing spiritual energy from the spirit stones, and the result was the same.

But the difference was, Lin Cheng discovered that after circulating his spiritual energy within his body, his flesh and meridians received a rare nourishment, and he could even clearly feel that the toughness and strength of his meridians, tendons and bones had greatly increased.

Moreover, the elemental energy within his body was much purer. This was because pure spiritual energy had eliminated many impurities from his body.

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat. Since his meridians were tougher and his elemental energy was purer, if he took the opportunity to break into his meridians, he might be able to open another meridian.

Therefore, Lin City started to frantically absorb spiritual energy. When a spiritual stone in his hand turned into dust, he immediately started to open his meridians.

With his will, he directed his spirit energy towards one of the unconnected meridian pulses.

Boom!

Lin Cheng only felt a dull sound in his body, and a heart-wrenching pain almost caused him to lose control of his mind. He hurriedly calmed himself down as he groaned in his heart.

After absorbing the spirit energy from the spirit stones, his elemental energy had become purer and his meridians had become tougher. But now, he discovered that the difficulty of opening his meridians had increased.

Even though he was already used to the pain of opening his meridians, Lin Cheng found it hard to endure. However, his greatest strength was his tenacious character. After slightly relaxing, he tried again.

"Pfft!"

He worked hard time and time again, and when a new meridian was opened, Lin Cheng's whole body was drenched in cold sweat, as if he had just been fished out of a pool of water.

However, Lin Cheng was surprised to find that after the meridians were opened, the pain immediately disappeared. The pure elemental energy was rapidly repairing his broken meridians. He did not feel any pain, instead, he felt comfortable all over.

"It's the effect of the spiritual energy!"

Lin Cheng immediately understood what was going on. It must be because there were still traces of spiritual energy left in his body, which was why the pain disappeared so quickly.

The use of these Spirit Stones was extraordinary!

Lin Cheng was overjoyed, after which he gritted his teeth, "Since that's the case, I shall do it in one go and continue my cultivation."

After another spirit stone appeared in his hand, he once again immersed himself in cultivation.

Boom!

Another meridian was opened.

Lin Cheng screamed in his heart, "Twenty pieces! Not counting the twelve innate true meridians, I've already opened eight! If I continue to cultivate at this speed, I will be able to condense my meridians within a year. This means that my talent isn't bad! "

Excited, Lin Cheng continued to direct the circulation of his elemental energy and began to repair the newly opened meridians.

The moment his meridians were repaired, a strong wave of elemental energy spread out from Lin City's body, causing Bamboo Gou, who was stamping not far away, to be stunned.

"This elemental energy fluctuation …" "So powerful!"

Zhu Ziyang was stunned. "This guy, how many meridians has he actually opened?" Why does this guy have such strong waves of power that only an expert of the Arterial Circulation Realm can produce? "

But soon her face broke, and she said to herself: "Bad luck! "The stronger this guy is, the slimmer my chance for revenge is. AHH …

About two hours later, Lin Cheng exited his cultivation state. He then slowly opened his eyes as a glint of light flickered within.

"The ninth level of the Rebirth Realm!"

"He's only one step away from the Arterial Circulation Realm!"

Since his rebirth, in just a few months, he had broken through from the third level of the body transformation realm all the way to the peak of the ninth level!

At this point, he could already be considered half an expert!

"With spirit stones in hand, I'll break into the Arterial Circulation Realm, just around the corner!" Lin Cheng looked at the fine powder in front of him. He had used up two spirit stones, yet the effect was extremely shocking.

"Spirit stones, they really are heaven and earth treasures. If I could obtain a spirit stone vein …" Lin City could not help but think of the Chu Clan, they actually had a vein, if it was not known, in the future, the Chu Clan would definitely produce countless experts.

"We have to snatch it!"

Lin Cheng secretly made up his mind. He did not have any burdens in his heart when he robbed the Chu Clan.

"Sigh!"

A voice suddenly interrupted Lin Cheng's daydreams and thoughts. He turned around and saw Zhu Ziyang standing not far away, looking at him with a strange expression.

Lin Cheng immediately retracted his smile and asked, "What do you want?"

Zhuzi bit her lips, hesitated for a moment, then said, "About that …" I just accidentally activated my profound art a moment ago, would I have gotten infected by the poison? "

"The use of mystical skill?"

Lin Cheng was startled, and then he snorted: "Did you accidentally circulate your profound arts? "I think, you're planning to sneak attack me while I'm cultivating, right?"

Bamboo Shoot was seen through, and immediately stomped his foot and snorted: "So what, who let a shameless little thief like you treat me like that! Hurry up and cure me, if I get infected, I will die together with you! "

Lin Cheng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhu Ziyang acting so shamelessly.

"Little thief, what are you looking at!" The bamboo stick that was being stared at by Lin Cheng was unable to stop itself from hanging on his face, and he glared at him in embarrassment.

Lin City was even more dazed for a moment. The shameless and angry look that Zhu Ziyang had on his face was filled with an indescribable charm.

Bamboo Gou saw that Lin City was still staring at her and blushed. She shouted, "Have you never seen a girl as beautiful as me? "I'll dig out your eyes again!"

"This girl will definitely become a calamity in the future!"

Lin Cheng muttered to himself and laughed, hiding the embarrassment on his face. However, he was secretly ashamed in his heart. When he looked at that bamboo stick, he actually felt a little strange.

"Come here, I'll check for you." Lin Cheng said with a dry cough.

"Humph!"

Bamboo was humphed and quickly walked over.

Lin Cheng's fingers rested on her wrist for a moment, then he said, "Fortunately, there weren't too many injuries. However, if you don't listen to my warning next time and forcefully use your martial arts to attack me, don't blame me for leaving you behind."

"Who asked you to poison me, you shameless little thief!"

Lin Cheng glanced at her and said, "If you promise not to follow me, and if you don't send anyone to kill me, I'll give you the antidote right now. From now on, we'll each walk our own paths, how about it?"

Now that he had reached the ninth level of the Rebirth Realm, his strength had increased tremendously and he was no longer afraid of being hunted down by Zhu Ziyang.

Bamboo Shoot was stunned, and then humphed, "No! You were the one who brought me here, and you promised to send me to the central region.

Lin Cheng couldn't help but be stunned. This girl clearly hated him to death, yet she was unwilling to leave.

Previously, she was just worried that if she was thrown into the wilderness, she would be eaten by wild beasts or encounter someone with ill intentions.

However, he had already promised her that he would cure her of the poison, yet she still refused to leave. This confused Lin City.

"However, I still need the antidote!" Zhuzi then said, "Immediately cure me of the poison!"

"If you want to follow me, then don't even think about getting the antidote." Earlier, this girl wanted to sneak attack him. If he gave her the antidote, wouldn't he have to be on his guard against her at all times?

"You …"

"When we reach the central region, I will naturally cure your poison!" After Lin Cheng said this, he ignored her and left her to grind her teeth in anger.

In the end, Lin City couldn't bear it any longer and pulled the bamboo up to the tree. He found a thick branch and laid it down, then went to another branch.

"Sigh!"

Zhu Ziyang suddenly looked at him and asked, "How many meridians did you open when you made your breakthrough?"

Lin Cheng glanced at her and asked, "Twenty meridians? Is there a problem?"

"What?"

Bamboo Shoot sat up suddenly and almost fell off the branch. She was so shocked that she quickly grabbed the vines, "Twenty? Aren't you afraid of losing your tongue? Why didn't you say that you are an expert of the Arterial Circulation Realm! "

Lin Cheng said, "It's only twenty meridians. I don't even feel embarrassed about it. Why are you reacting so dramatically?"

"Just 20 meridians?" "Shame?" Zhu Ziyang looked at him strangely, "If you want to show off, just say so!"

Lin Cheng couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean? Is there something wrong with my training? "
