Xianxia: I Can Alter The Dates Of Herb Plants - Chapter 30

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The divine ability of the Medicine Body Refinement Technique allowed Su Chen to possess a strong body that could withstand the Pill Peak’s supreme treasure, the Silver Wheel Moon, for a short period of time. However, this state where the characteristics of the medicinal herb that was integrated into the body could not be sustained.

Moreover, the special essence Qi that the medicinal herb had transformed into had not completely integrated into the Qi and blood in the body. It was inevitable that the body would not be able to withstand it, especially when Su Chen had strained to the limits of his power.

Su Chen was currently suffering from the sequelae of over-catalyzing the Medicine Body Refinement Technique. Every part of his body felt like it was being pierced by sharp needles. He only meditated under the tree for a while, but his tattered clothes were already soaked in sweat.

Moreover, the sweat carried dark red blood, dyeing the tattered clothes on his body dark red. That was the blood stasis that was forced out of his body.

Su Chen’s muscles, bones, blood, and flesh trembled slightly, and the sound of war drums could be faintly heard from within his body. The vigorous blood Qi in his body washed over and over his body, and the stinging pain in his entire body slowly dissipated.

The five-colored essence Qi and the Tiger Movement Body Tempering Technique that the system had given him allowed Su Chen’s body to be as strong as an ordinary spiritual treasure of a Qi Refinement realm cultivator.

His recovery ability was also extremely shocking. Waves of Qi and blood that contained the five-colored essence Qi continuously washed through his body. The wounds in his flesh and blood were quickly healing and recovering.

“Yes! The path of body refinement is a path of the strong that was created for battle. It is a path of progress in the battle of life and death, stepping on the opponent’s corpse to advance.”

Su Chen felt that after his battle with Wang Yuzhe, his cultivation seemed to have made some progress again. The battle of life and death was beneficial to his cultivation breakthrough.

This was Su Chen’s enlightenment. It was as if his predecessors had taken the wrong path. The cultivators in the Tempered Spirit Peak had never taken a single step outside, and they were blindly immersed in bitter cultivation. They did not know about this Medicine Body Refinement Technique, which was a killing technique created for battle, and a powerful body corresponded to unrivaled combat strength.

There was a limit to the progress by immersing oneself in bitter cultivation, and only in a life-and-death battle could one comprehend and sublimate faster in battle.

Qi refinement practitioners paid attention to tranquility. They absorbed the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth to nourish their primordial spirit and condense spiritual energy. On the other hand, body refinement focused on essence energy. It refined all the meridians, blood, and flesh in one’s body, and gave birth to the origin energy from the Qi and blood.

Therefore, by immersing oneself in bitter cultivation, one would instead limit the breakthrough of one’s cultivation. This was perhaps the reason why Tempered Spirit Peak had been so lonely for almost 100 years.

When one’s cultivation encountered a bottleneck, one would enter seclusion. This was a kind of inertia in the thinking of Qi refinement cultivators. It was completely unsuitable for body refinement cultivators. To body refinement cultivators, battle was the true essence of a breakthrough.

Su Chen seemed to see a glimmer of light in the dense fog. He seemed to have comprehended a brand new path of cultivation. A path that belonged to the body refinement realm, and that was — fighting!

At this moment.

The disciples participating in the competition in the square were still engaged in this competition. The competition of spells would explode from time to time and emit strong lights and loud noises. Su Chen was unmoved.

The remaining competition was not as intense as the one between Su Chen and Wang Yuzhe, but it still attracted the attention of thousands of disciples in the square.

The inner sect competition this time was different from the previous ones. The disciples who won the top ten would have a chance to enter the Grotto-heaven secret realm, in addition to the usual rewards.

The Grotto-heaven secret realm was the reward announced by the sect master when the competition started. The Grotto-heaven secret realm was a blessed land for the three great sects, and it was also a dangerous place. For those who entered it, it was also an opportunity.

There was no free lunch in this world. In danger, there was an opportunity to change one’s fate. If one could grasp the fleeting opportunity, one could rise to the top, but if one could not grasp it, one’s life would be in danger.

When night fell, all the matches had ended.

Daoist Zixu expressionlessly announced that the second match would be held the next day. Soon after, a list of names was posted. It was the list of those who had advanced to the second round.

When the Daoist Zixu announced the end of today’s competition, Su Chen, who was sitting cross-legged under a big tree by the side of the square, opened his eyes.

With a thought, the golden light on his upper body flashed and disappeared. Then, the tattered clothes on his upper body turned into pieces and scattered on the ground, revealing his strong, wheat-colored body. Of course, the pants on his lower body were still relatively intact.

Su Chen stood up to look at the list posted.

When Su Chen walked to the steps in front of the square, a pair of vicious eyes stared at Su Chen under the tree across the square.

“Su Chen…” the person under the tree had a gloomy expression. He gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.

At this moment, a disciple in white walked toward the person who was full of hostility toward Su Chen.

“Senior Brother Wang, so you’re here. My senior brother is inviting you to come over.”

Hmm? Why is Luo Feng looking for me?

That person furrowed his brows and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. He then said to the disciple dressed in white, “Senior Brother, please lead the way.”

In the Pure Yang sect, the only person who had a grudge against Su Chen was Wang Yucheng from the Wang clan. Now that his big brother had also been defeated by Su Chen, he wished that he could dismember Su Chen into pieces.

That disciple dressed in white was from the sect master’s clan. Wang Yucheng did not dare to offend him and immediately changed his expression. He followed behind the disciple dressed in white and walked towards the back of the Pure Yang Peak.

Wang Yucheng originally wanted his big brother to teach Su Chen a lesson and humiliate him. However, he did not expect his big brother, Wang Yuzhe, to be defeated by Su Chen. He was even humiliated by Su Chen. Even the disciples of the Pill Peak felt ashamed.

However, what could he do? Even his big brother had lost, let alone his own strength. He could only endure it for now.

At this moment, the people in the square had already gradually dispersed. Those who had advanced to the second round had already returned to their training grounds to recover their strength and stamina to prepare for tomorrow’s competition.

As for those who had been eliminated, some of them sighed dejectedly. They even discussed today’s competition with the remaining disciples in the square, or looked at the name list that was posted up. Some of them simply walked to the side and stared blankly at the sky.

When Su Chen walked over, the disciples who had gathered in front of the name list immediately made way from both sides..
