The cork opened, and a golden elixir pill rolled into Zhong Lin’s palm, thumb-sized, exuding a faint golden light, with traces of crimson patterns, accompanied by a rich medicinal aroma that filled his entire nostrils.
Bone Marrow and Blood Changing Pill.
A Fourth Grade Elixir, primarily made with the Heavenly Essence Pearl, supplemented with hundreds of precious medicinal materials, can aid a person in changing bone marrow and blood. Merely consuming one can save decades of arduous cultivation and allow one to step into the perfection of the Divine Power Realm.
"Amazing Alchemy Dao..."
Zhong Lin was filled with admiration. Martial Arts are marvelous, and the Alchemy Dao of this world is no less remarkable.
Without these miraculous elixirs, Martial Arts would not have advanced so far, enabling such a radiant martial civilization in this world.
Without hesitation, Zhong Lin reached out and swallowed the Bone Marrow and Blood Changing Pill.
The elixir melted upon entering his mouth, and a medicinal power more immense than any previous elixir erupted.
Zhong Lin’s whole body became hot, with vigorous energy flowing inside, nourishing his flesh, and endless heat roaring up and down inside his body, finally converging into a golden radiance.
The radiance rushed toward his bone marrow, accompanied by intense pain, merging and settling into it.
At this moment, Zhong Lin’s body also changed. His once smooth skin gradually peeled off, and a new layer of skin slowly grew.
This new skin was even smoother than before, and it had increased resilience and strength, with a thick membrane added beneath the dermis.
Zhong Lin felt that his explosive strength was now greater, and his whole body was filled with power.
Of course, the most significant change was not external but internal.
Previously, when cultivating the "Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Skill," the breathing and inhalation vibrated the bone marrow but did not produce significant changes. Now, with the help of the elixir, that golden radiance merged into the bone marrow, and the intense pain accompanied the transformation of his body. Zhong Lin felt that he was undergoing a transformative rebirth.
The bone marrow can produce blood. The blood produced by the new bone marrow was thicker than before, with a faint fragrant aroma.
And as this new blood was born, the Qi Blood Power gradually merged into it, which also caused the external skin to shed a new layer, emerging slowly.
Martial Arts Fourth Grade, Divine Power Realm, Zhong Lin had already reached it.
His Qi and blood were immense and robust, his muscles and bones strong, and his power greatly increased.
His entire body moved freely, fiercely and swiftly.
Strength like galloping horses, agility like apes.
This realm transformed entirely from within to without, being the most primal transformation of the flesh, reaching the extreme of the human physique.
His bodily strength had reached ten thousand pounds, which is the limit of the human body.
"Master once said, the Fourth Grade Divine Power Realm is the last physical limit of the human body, with the power reaching ten thousand pounds. Unless through special techniques, it’s impossible to surpass this limit. Yet, special techniques often enhance power at the expense of certain characteristics, making them undesirable."
"To break through human limitations, one must explore deeper internal power, which is ’Qi,’ and this is also the origin of Qi Refinement in the Upper Third Grades."
"Qi is the culmination of Qi and blood, after bodily perfection, hidden deep within, a stronger power, born innately, it is the essence of essence. Like oil for a flame, a person’s life consumes Qi: once Qi disperses, life ends."
"Upper Third Grade Martial Artists explore the most primal innate Primordial Qi within the body, nurturing and growing it, which is why First Grade Pure Essence Realm martial artists live three hundred years. With origin strengthening, naturally, longevity increases."
"With system assistance, any Martial Arts Skills I wield can reach the creator’s limits. In the past, I still needed painstaking effort to extract the body’s primordial Qi, but now, with the help of the Bone Marrow and Blood Changing Pill, grasping that sliver of opportunity can propel me into the Upper Third Grade realm."
The power of the Bone Marrow and Blood Changing Pill continued, and Zhong Lin’s bone marrow under this medicinal power became more profound, and over time, it subtly emitted a faint golden glow.
Suddenly, Zhong Lin’s body shivered violently, and his breath became rapid.
With each inhale and exhale, a breath lingered in his mouth, constantly moving in and out.
Gugong, gugong, gugong...
A mysterious aura suddenly emerged from between his five internal organs and six lungs. The aura was extremely weak, almost illusionary.
This aura, fine as hair strands, like a gentle breeze, swiftly traversed between the heart and lungs, causing the body to boil wherever it passed, driving the blood to press against the heart, seems to steer all the body’s strength.
At this moment, Zhong Lin felt as if he entered a realm of forgetting himself and the objects, swaying between heaven and earth, yet his feet rooted deeply like a tree.
This aura traveled through the heart, with Qi and blood spreading around. The body’s impurities seemed purged under this aura.
Where this "Qi" passed, Zhong Lin felt as if all his muscles, bones, and internal organs became much more consolidated, and at the same time, his hearing sharpened incredibly, sensitive to any sound or movement, akin to a startled mouse.
Zhong Lin’s consciousness suddenly entwined with this thread-like "Qi," tightly locking it within.
He dared not show the slightest negligence. Zhong Lin focused all his mind, guiding this Qi to flow into his meridians.
Perineum, Coccyx, Life Gate, Dazhui, Jade Pillow, Bai Hui...
Wherever it passed, this "Qi" became increasingly solid and robust.
It circulated throughout the body, finally merging into the Dantian, entering a place of chaos.
Zhong Lin quietly exhaled a murky breath, slowly opened his eyes, and a wild joy filled his gaze.
The Qi entering the Dantian signified opening an account at a bank or registering an account in a game, no longer just a visitor mode that risks cancellation at any time.
The next step is to continuously expand this Qi. When it fills the entire Dantian, that will be the day of perfection in the third-grade Inner Breath Realm.
With a palm spread open, an ethereal power emerged from Zhong Lin’s palm.
Shapeless, intangible, arising with each breath, but tangibly real and existent.
As Zhong Lin casually moved, he felt this power rise and fall with his intent. It was Primordial Qi, no longer as vague but truly existing, surging, ebbing, and evolving.
"Inner breath, this is the inner breath, the source of humanity, innate Primordial Qi, the power born from Qi and blood," Zhong Lin roared with excitement in his heart.
This Inner Breath was still extremely weak, but its nature was exceedingly high. Zhong Lin only felt as if there was a wild True Dragon of Primordial Qi and a Primordial Qi Tiger in his Dantian, with power boundless, many times stronger than his physical strength.
Pressing his palm gently on the ground, the green stone below immediately sank, and a palm print appeared, whose line patterns were clear and distinct.
Qi Blood Power could also easily leave a palm imprint on this green stone, but not as effortlessly, nor as delicately.
