Xia Chen and the others returned to the courtyard. After taking the Vitality Pill, Fang Qiu's injuries improved a lot. Seeing that the three of them had returned safely, they were surprised and happy.
"Xia Chen, do you really plan to fight Chu Zhentian in the ring? He is the fifth level acquired, which is a level higher than you. Even if you can leapfrog the challenge, I can feel that he has a deep murderous intention. This person is not that
Easy to deal with." Sun Li said as the four of them entered the house.
Xia Chen said: "I have already promised him. It will definitely not work without fighting. There are still ten days left. I can use this time to practice hard and strive for another breakthrough. Don't worry, I will not fail easily."
Chen Lie thought deeply: "Xia Chen, I still feel that something is wrong. Since Chu Zhentian challenged you, he must have some confidence. Why not find your master? After all, Chu Zhenhai was abolished by your master. If he comes forward,
, then Chu Zhentian must be afraid and dare not cause trouble."
Xia Chen shook his head and said: "Chu Zhentian is an open challenge. Even my master cannot easily interfere. What's more, even if he is scared away, this person is despicable and shameless. He might even attack in secret, which makes it even more difficult to prevent. Why not take advantage of this situation?"
challenge and solve him once and for all.”
He took out a few Explosive Vitality Pills and handed them to Sun Li and Chen Lie for them to use for self-defense, and then hurried back to the medicine garden.
After a speechless night, Xia Chen went straight to the back mountain cave on the next day. After taking out the Moonfall Cauldron, he also took out the demonic beast inner elixir and two auxiliary elixirs.
This demonic beast's inner elixir is also beyond the capabilities of the cornucopia and cannot be copied. This means that there is only one chance to refine it and it must not fail.
Xia Chen threw the two medicinal materials into the cauldron, lit the charcoal fire, and then used his true energy to control the heat. He did not close the lid of the cauldron, but watched the two elixirs inside slowly melt.
The initial process went smoothly.
After a while, the two elixirs melted and merged together again, turning into a puddle of green liquid. Xia Chen sniffed it with his nose and nodded. The medicinal properties of the elixir had been exerted, and it was time to refine it.
It's time for Dan.
Picking up the inner elixir, Xia Chen threw it directly into the liquid without any hesitation.
Phew! Just like pouring cold water into boiling oil, the liquid medicine suddenly formed a water column and sprayed directly towards the mouth of the cauldron.
Bang! Xia Chen sealed the lid in time and put the liquid back into the cauldron.
There was a harsh crackling sound in the cauldron, and the hot liquid instantly covered the demon beast's inner elixir, and then gradually penetrated through the tiny holes in the inner elixir, bit by bit absorbing the violent poison of the demon beast contained in the inner elixir.
and, at the same time, it also uses its own medicinal properties to supplement the effectiveness of the inner elixir.
This is like carefully cooking the best vegetables and meat, supplemented with various seasonings, and finally making it into a gourmet meal.
Refining the inner elixir is a long process, and you cannot make any mistakes in controlling the heat during the process, otherwise all your efforts will be wasted.
Whenever his true energy was about to be exhausted, Xia Chen would take out a medicine bottle and swallow vitality pills to replenish his vitality.
After two hours passed, the crackling sound inside the cauldron became fainter. This time, the time spent refining the demonic beast's inner elixir almost exceeded the total time spent refining the elixir before.
Xia Chen also reached the time when the oil was exhausted. He did not expect that the inner elixir would be so difficult to refine. Although there was a Vitality Pill to support it, it would take time to transform the Vitality Pill into true energy, and the amount of true energy consumed would be far greater.
Far beyond the transformation speed of Zhenqi Pill.
Xia Chen gritted his teeth and persisted. He was about to succeed. It would be a pity to give up.
He closed his eyes and exerted his control ability to the limit. Every ounce of Qi used to control the fire was just right, without any waste or reduction. It was almost perfect.
His ability to control the true energy is already very good, and it is difficult to improve it. However, in the process of refining the inner elixir, as the true energy decreases, he must require more perfect control of the true energy. Such harsh conditions
, actually made Xia Chen's control ability improve again!
Gradually, Xia Chen's mind became clearer and he entered a wonderful realm.
This state is not about sitting quietly during cultivation, nor about recuperating when the brain is tired, but about a kind of clear enlightenment that occurs when one suddenly senses something after controlling the true energy to the extreme.
During his epiphany, Xia Chen suddenly felt an underlying truth. This truth was grand, profound, and eternal. Compared with it, everything in the world was as small as an ant.
Xia Chen silently understood this grand truth with his heart, not feeling the passage of time at all.
In the process of understanding, his physical body is also undergoing some subtle changes. These changes are not visible at all and do not show any abnormalities, but they can have a profound impact and subtly affect Xia Chen's future practice.
I don't know how long it took, but Xia Chen suddenly woke up from his epiphany. He felt refreshed and refreshed, as if his whole body had been washed by the dew from the inside out. The Dantian in his abdomen was even more full, and he felt really refreshed.
The energy is much more powerful than when it was at its strongest.
Although his cultivation is still at the peak of the acquired fourth level, it seems that after patient sorting and enlightenment, he is not only much stronger than before, but also has a more thorough understanding of power.
Xia Chen blinked his eyes, still recalling the infinite wonder in his mind. This was his first epiphany, it was really wonderful.
After a while, Xia Chen came back to his senses and saw that the flame under the cauldron had been extinguished at some point, and a strange fragrance was faintly floating out of the cauldron.
Opening the lid of the cauldron, I saw that the medicinal liquid had completely melted into the demonic beast's inner elixir, and the demonic beast's inner elixir had also shrunk in size, forming a light red pill the size of a thumb.
A wisp of hot air slowly floated from the elixir.
Success! Xia Chen was surprised and happy, and grabbed the refined inner elixir.
It was already past noon, and at least four hours had passed since refining the inner elixir. If not for that wonderful epiphany, Xia Chen would not have been able to easily refine the inner elixir, let alone keep his true energy full, or even
It also improved a lot of cultivation.
But now when I think back to that feeling of enlightenment, Xia Chen's mind feels blurry, and even the grand truth has no impression, as if it was just a dream.
I don't know when I will have another epiphany, Xia Chen thought.
However, he also knows that this kind of thing is something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. Once a practitioner has an epiphany, even if it only takes a few breaths, it is better than practicing hard for countless hours.
Xia Chen put away the Moonfall Cauldron, then sat down cross-legged, put the refined demonic beast inner elixir in the palm of his hand, and silently ran the formula for the Great Vajra Body in his mind.
Originally, he planned to practice alchemy today and practice the Vajra Body tomorrow, but now he has an epiphany, his belly is filled with true energy, he feels great, and he just needs to be full of energy.
After putting the inner elixir into his mouth, the inner elixir immediately turned into a trickle, and then turned into extremely pure energy, which poured into Xia Chen's body with a breath.
Xia Chen snorted and his face turned red. This energy was extremely majestic, like rivers and seas entering his body. In the blink of an eye, it seemed as if he was stretched to the point of bursting.
For a moment, Xia Chen found it difficult to breathe, and two lines of blood immediately flowed out from under his nostrils.
Xia Chen quickly used the formula for the Great Vajra Body, and countless suction forces surged out of his flesh and blood in an instant, greedily absorbing the powerful inner elixir energy.
ah!
At the moment of absorption, Xia Chen's whole body seemed to be burned by fire. He felt extremely painful and couldn't help but scream in pain.
It was like countless red-hot hammers, treating Xia Chen's flesh and blood particles as steel, hammering them hard. The pain was a hundred times more painful than being burned by fire!
Xia Chen's face was distorted, his whole body was stiff, and he was trembling constantly. He was cursing in his heart. Why didn't you explain this damn skill in advance? It will be so painful when you take the inner elixir to temper your body. It's not worth killing someone!
However, Xia Chen also knew that this pain must be a process that the body must go through. The more painful the physical body was, the greater the benefits he would get, so he gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth.
I don’t know how long it took, but the severe pain finally began to slowly subside, replaced by a numb and thick feeling, as if my body had become a statue and no longer belonged to me.
After a while, the numbness gradually disappeared, and Xia Chen suddenly felt as light as a feather, just shy of flying off the ground and floating in the sky.
In this extremely light feeling, there is also a feeling of indestructibility, as if it has become a body of steel. Even if it is chopped with a knife, an axe, or a wok, it cannot damage a hair.
The acquired third level state is that the physical body is as soft as cotton and as hard as iron, but compared with Xia Chen's feeling at this moment, it is just a difference between cloud and mud, not on the same level at all.
The first level of the Great Vajra Body Tempering Body is thus completed.
Xia Chen closed his eyes and used his true energy to look inside himself, and was immediately surprised.
I saw that in the physical body, the particles that made up the flesh and blood had all changed their appearance. Not only had they swelled a lot, the outside was even more glittering and translucent, as if a layer of light had passed through it, and it was as bright as a diamond.
Even looking at it, one can feel the hardness of the flesh and blood particles, and the strong power contained within them.
Not only in the flesh and blood, Xia Chen could feel it, but also in the bones, internal organs, meridians, blood and bone marrow, which contained huge energy that the inner elixir had not yet had time to transform, but he could not see it now.
How could the inner elixir containing all the essence of the monster beast be absorbed by Xia Chen so easily? In fact, Xia Chen only absorbed a small part of the inner elixir of the monster beast, and most of the energy would follow his cultivation.
Improve and gradually absorb.
Xia Chen raised his fist, and immediately, extremely powerful power burst out from his body, which was much stronger than before he practiced.
His cultivation is still at the fourth level acquired, but his strength has greatly increased, and he has been baptized by unexpected enlightenment, and his control of power has reached an incredible level.
Suddenly, Xia Chen's gestures changed, and he formed an extremely complex seal in an instant. A bright light like thunder flashed between his hands, and he struck hard at the cave wall.
Thunder Seal!
Compared with before practicing, Xia Chen's speed of forming seals was almost twice as fast.
Boom!
The cave wall shook violently, and thick cracks like spider webs instantly shot out from the place hit by the thunder seal, and then the entire cave collapsed.
At the moment of collapse, a figure shot out of the cave like lightning.
Looking at the cave that had become a pile of rocks with a wry smile, Xia Chen spread his hands. He did not expect that after cultivating into the Great Vajra, using the Thunder Seal would be so powerful that he almost buried himself in the cave.
In the next nine days, Xia Chen has been familiar with the first level of power of the Great Vajra Body. As for the second level and above, with his current cultivation level, he simply cannot even think about it.
However, even if it is only the first level, it is enough. The Great Vajra Body combined with the Thunder Seal is simply infinitely powerful. Even if it is the acquired sixth level, Xia Chen is now confident that he can fight.
