Xianxia: I Can Alter The Dates Of Herb Plants - Chapter 16

During these two days, Su Chen planted the herb Elder Lee gave him.

He modified the year of the herbs every day.

Yesterday, Elder Lee also sent Su Chen the tier 3 herb, Fire Lotus Fruit, which was optimally aged in 320 years. The one that Elder Liu brought was already 270 years.

Yesterday, Su Chen modified it once. Now, he could use it to increase the speed of his absorption of the medicinal liquid and further temper his body.

Su Chen, who was in a strange position in the fiery-red medicinal liquid, felt that the meridians in his body were being continuously attacked by the medicinal liquid. The medicinal liquid surged into Su Chen’s body and spread into his meridians, seeping into his muscles, tendons, and bones from his meridians, tempering his body.

The spiritual energy in the medicinal liquid filled the small room. The spiritual energy was very thick, and although it was not solid, it was thick enough to be seen by the naked eye.

Specks of spiritual light appeared, making this dark small room seem like a fairyland.

Su Chen opened his eyes. When he saw this scene, he was also stunned. The medicinal effect of this tier 3 herb, Fire Lotus Fruit… It’s so strong?

The medicinal liquid was still continuously surging into Su Chen’s body. How could he let go of this opportunity? He began to use the medicinal liquid to continuously break through to the ninth stage of the Body Refinement realm.

Only by breaking through to the ninth stage would he have a chance to advance further.

The medicinal liquid was being poured into his body. It attacked the meridians in his body, again and again, improving his physique. At this moment, slight changes were happening in his body. The medicinal liquid was washing away at his body, and the small number of impurities in his body was expelled from his pores, along with his sweat.

An hour later, Su Chen’s entire body shook. One of the meridians that blocked the ninth stage of the Body Refinement realm was unblocked at this moment.

Streams of essence Qi flowed through the newly opened meridians, making Su Chen feel light and refreshed.

To break through from the eighth stage of the Body Refinement realm, the amount of essence Qi consumed was immense. This was unlike Qi refinement. Qi refining did not consume any essence Qi to temper the body. This was because their cultivation focused on the essence, Qi, and the ‘spirit’. They would directly refine the essence into Qi and use Qi to nourish the spirit.

In the eyes of Qi refinement cultivators, the body was just a skin bag. In the end, they still had to give it up. Hence, there was a saying that the primordial spirit would leave the body and ascend into the Heavens.

As for Su Chen’s body refinement process, it involved constantly changing the body’s constitution. It did not leave the body and allowed the body to continuously transform, thus releasing the body’s potential.

The potential of the human body was unlimited. When the body refining was cultivated to the extreme, even if one did not know any divine abilities, they would still derive their own divine abilities. They did not deliberately cultivate divine abilities, but these abilities seem to be inherited naturally.

Su Chen went through the process of his tendons and bone barrows changing and evolving, greatly changing his physique. His cultivation had already reached the peak of the eighth stage of the Body Refinement realm before he stopped.

The moment he broke through to the eighth stage of the Body Refinement realm, Su Chen’s nine meridians were all opened up. His muscles, tendons, and bones shook. Wisps of five-colored essence Qi, which was almost undetectable, were produced from his flesh and blood. Then, they gathered in his meridians.

“This is…” Su Chen could not help but be overjoyed when he noticed the abnormality in his body. “Five-colored essence Qi, I’ve actually cultivated five-colored essence Qi.”

Opening up all the meridians in his body in one go, and allowing his body to produce five-colored essence Qi, Su Chen finally took a crucial step in body refinement.

Although the five-element essence Qi produced in Su Chen’s body was weak, it was extremely pure. It was born from his flesh and blood, then gathered in his meridians, then surged into his Qi center, and finally formed a small ball in his Qi center. It was a five-colored essence Qi ball that was about the size of a grape.

This was the power produced by his own body, not refined from the spiritual Qi herbs in the outside world. Under the nourishment of countless medicinal liquids, the five-colored essence Qi was refined from his flesh and blood. This could be said to be the origin power of Su Chen’s body.

Origin power was the foundation of the body refinement divine ability.

The five-colored essence Qi slowly rotated in Su Chen’s Qi center, spreading out waves of energy fluctuations. The circulation of the Tiger Movement gradually calmed down.

The filthy impurities that were originally stuck to Su Chen’s body were washed away by the surging waves. His clothes also turned into ashes, revealing a strong physique that was faintly showing signs of light.

“Eh!” Su Chen exclaimed in surprise. He was a little excited just now, but he did not realize that the Tiger Movement had changed slightly. Since the technique was connected to all nine meridians, the derivation of the five-colored essence Qi made him realize that the Tiger Movement was not as simple as just refining the body.

With the five-colored essence Qi, he could use some simple ancient martial techniques. However, even if it was the simplest ancient martial technique, what Su Chen used was only the tip of the iceberg.

The martial technique, the White Tiger Move, contained extraordinary and profound potential. If Su Chen had enough strength, he might really be able to display terrifying power, he might even be able to crush mountains with a single kick.

The current Tiger Movement only made his body purer, but its true potential was not able to be unleashed at all. If he wanted to truly unleash the power of the Tiger Movement, he would have to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm and have his physical body undergo a transformation. Then, he would be able to stimulate even more powerful potential in his body.

After breaking through to the eighth stage of the Body Refinement realm, Su Chen planned to meditate for a while.

“Hmm?” Very soon, Su Chen noticed something strange in his body. Normally, he could not sense Qi, and could not absorb spiritual Qi. But now, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was gathering toward him like a tide. Specks of multicolored light lingered around his body.

Su Chen activated the Qi cultivation technique and absorbed the spiritual Qi. The hazy multicolored light enveloped his surroundings. Gradually, the small five-colored essence Qi in his Qi center began to form a funnel-like vortex.

The spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered in the vortex and was refined into the five-colored essence Qi. The five-colored essence Qi was slowly growing.

With the origin power as the guide, refining the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth into the five-colored essence Qi of the origin power in his body was a very slow process. Even a large amount of the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was not enough to refine a portion of the five-colored origin essence Qi. It could be seen from this how slow the five-colored essence Qi in Su Chen’s body was growing.

The Tiger Movement body refinement was guided by a trace of five-colored essence Qi, allowing his Qi center to form a vortex that absorbed the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, thus refining the spiritual Qi into his own origin energy to strengthen his body.

The spiritual Qi continued to revolve around Su Chen’s body. As time passed, the spiritual Qi became denser and denser, entering his body.

A wave of energy burst out from Su Chen’s body. His peak eighth stage Body Refinement realm was completely stabilized, and the five-colored essence Qi began to refine his muscles and bones.

Su Chen’s body was covered in a layer of faint five-colored light as if it was forging a pair of steel and iron bones for him.

It was just like how Qi refinement practitioners tempered their magic treasures. The difference was that Qi refinement practitioners cultivated external objects into powerful magic treasures.

However, Su Chen cultivated his own body into a treasured body that was comparable to a magic treasure.

The deeper one cultivated the body, the stronger one’s own strength would be. It was not impossible to confront a Qi refinement cultivator’s magic treasure head-on.

After Su Chen stabilized his realm, he thought that although his cultivation was already at the peak of the eighth stage of the Body Refinement realm, he had basically never had any actual combat experience.

This was not good.

He had been trying his best to increase his cultivation, but if he could not withstand an actual battle, it would be extremely fatal.

Moreover, in the inner sect trial was in a month’s time, he had to seize this opportunity and enter the inner sect to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm, and leave the mortal realm.

There was no use thinking about it all the time. Su Chen decided to immediately leave the mountain to train.

Without any hesitation, he informed Elder Lee to help look after the medicinal garden. He prepared some belongings and went down the mountain..
