rlWvo days later.
The sky is slightly clear, and the sunlight is just right.
Lu Yuan sits under the corridor pavilion outside his room, the autumn wind blowing gently, rustling the curtains and bringing a refreshing coolness.
At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, outside in the garden pond, the insects are releasing their last bit of enthusiasm, screeching loudly.
However, this symphony in the courtyard fails to attract the attention of the master in the pavilion, not even a glance.
Lu Yuan’s gaze is firmly fixed on the jade bottle on the table in front of him. Under the translucent warm white jade, one can see the brilliant red inside the bottle.
Taking a deep breath, he opens the jade bottle, and a wave of exotic fragrance greets him. Inside the bottle, there are five peanut-sized red pills lying quietly.
This is the result of his efforts during this time.
The entire Blood Jade Centipede, along with a large amount of auxiliary medicine, has been transformed into these five pills in front of him.
“Let’s see how divine this Divine Medicine I’ve worked so hard for really is…”
Muttering to himself, Lu Yuan takes out a pill, swallows it, and ingests the fruit of his labor over the past few days.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
Three breaths after the pill enters his stomach, the medicinal power spreads rapidly. A warm current emerges from his abdomen and quickly flows throughout his body along his meridians.
As this warm current moves, every cell in his body seems to be awakened, rejoicing and absorbing the warm flow.
“Mmm…”
An indescribable pleasure, accompanied by the movement of the warm current, quickly envelops Lu Yuan’s entire body, making him involuntarily moan.
However, compared to this pleasure and warmth, what excites him even more is that his inner strength starts to circulate automatically along his meridians without his own control due to the effect of the warm current.
Each time it circulates through the meridians, a portion of the active warm current in the body is integrated into the inner strength, making it even stronger.
Round after round, in the blink of an eye, his inner strength has autonomously cycled through more than ten rounds.
During this process, it has also increased by nearly ten percent.
The sudden rapid growth in inner strength makes Lu Yuan feel as if his meridians can barely withstand it, swelling and aching. This sensation jolts him back to his senses from the trance.
Not daring to hesitate, he immediately uses his Divine Sense to take control of the rampaging inner strength within his body. He then directs it to start breaking through the acupoints of his meridians.
Within his inner vision.
With a seemingly “pop” sound, the acupoints that had been blocking Lu Yuan from making further progress were broken open in an instant under the onslaught of the rapidly growing inner strength.
The delighted inner strength suddenly finds a new outlet, rapidly pouring in, and begins to circulate and perfect the new meridian network.
At the same time, the warm current within his body follows.
Under the warmth, the slight damage caused by the violent breakthrough of the acupoints is immediately healed by the warm current. Not only is it restored to its original state, but it is even stronger than before.
The recovered acupoints quickly start to function.
The qi and blood in his body, activated by the warm current, instantly begin to combine with Lu Yuan’s Divine Sense under the guidance of the acupoints, giving birth to new inner strength.
This newly born inner strength, in combination with the swelling inner strength within the warmth, instantly replenishes the meridians throughout his body.
The sense of swelling and pain that had just been relieved returns once more.
With the previous experience in mind, this time Lu Yuan does not hesitate, continuing to mobilize his surging inner strength to break through the next meridian.
“Pop! Pop! Pop!”
Within his inner vision, crisp sounds, one after another, continuously resound in his mind.
Meanwhile, the acupoints in his meridians are continually being broken open one after another.
The raging inner strength seems to have no end, rushing forward relentlessly.
Under the onslaught of this torrent of inner strength, the remaining three acupoints of the triple energizer meridian are instantly broken through. And the third meridian that Lu Yuan has been cultivating is officially cleared.
With the triple energizer meridian unblocked, the surging inner strength within his body shows no signs of stopping. If anything, it becomes even more ferocious with the three newly broken acupoints assisting it.
Lu Yuan dares not obstruct it, so he continues to mobilize his inner strength to assault the fourth meridian, the pericardium meridian.
With several more “pop” sounds, four acupoints are broken through.
Fortunately, by this time, the warm current within his body has gradually subsided, and the raging inner strength has slowly calmed down.
The remaining warmth heals the four acupoints and then completely dissipates.
After calming his inner strength and eventually returning it to his dantian, Lu Yuan slowly opens his closed eyes, looks around the quiet world, and breathes a long sigh of relief.
Immediately, feeling the inner strength in his body that has increased by nearly half, he can’t help but have an expression of joy on his face: “The potency of this medicine is indeed incredible.”
Just now, a single pill helped Lu Yuan clear a meridian, saving him a year of hard work. If it were an ordinary person, that would be three years saved.
This effect truly deserves the title of Divine Medicine.
Looking at the time, the sky has already turned dark.
After all the breakthroughs and acupoint-opening during the cultivation session, although refreshing, time has passed quickly.
Perhaps it’s because the pills supplied all the necessary resources for this consumption that, although Lu Yuan’s inner strength has increased by nearly half, he does not feel hungry at this moment.
He had instructed beforehand that he should not be disturbed during these days of closed-door cultivation, and now this little garden has become his exclusive territory.
“Since that’s the case, let’s continue taking medicine and cultivating.”
His gaze moves to the table, and he takes out another pill from the jade bottle, swallows it, then closes his eyes and begins a new round of cultivation.
Sunrise and sunset, the stars shift.
As the sky darkens and brightens, the pills in the jade bottle disappear one by one, leaving only one remaining.
In the blink of an eye, another three days have passed.
At this moment, a layer of fine dust has accumulated on Lu Yuan’s body, and a little morning mist has condensed on it, staining him with dirt.
However, he is completely unaware of all this, his eyes tightly closed, as if immersed in his inner world, untainted by the outside.
As time trickles by, eventually, when the sun is at its zenith near noon, Lu Yuan’s tightly shut eyes finally slowly open, and he awakens.
“How long has it been?”
Lu Yuan emerges from his trance, looks at the dust on his body, and then the sky outside, for a moment, he is somewhat lost.
But soon, he stops dwelling on those thoughts.
Instead, he sinks his Divine Sense into his mind and finds that the data in his attribute panel has changed again.

“Finally… second-rate.”
Gazing at the realm and martial arts displayed in the attribute panel, as well as the information there, Lu Yuan can’t help but shed tears.
After nearly five years since his transmigration, he has finally become a formidable force in the world of Jianghu..
