Chapter 48: Unexpected Discovery (Second Update!)
"Refine the physical body with yuanli, awaken the potential of the physical body, that is to refine every cell in the physical body except the brain and every meridian, after refinement, one can reach the realm of Wu Di..."
As the violent energy of the three 5th-grade elixirs was refined, the pain that had threatened to burst his body also gradually disappeared from Chen Huan's body. At this moment, Chen Huan felt the subtle movement of the Boundless Origin Force within him, and a thread of enlightenment appeared in his mind.
"What Master Mei said is that the intention cultivates the mind, and produces spiritual power. Compared to yuan force, spiritual power is completely under the precise control of the intention, subtle and delicate..."
The brain is the most mysterious, precise and fragile existence in the human body. Perhaps only a completely controlled spiritual force can temper brain cells and awaken the potential of the brain. The reason why such people are rare is that those who need to cultivate must have a certain amount of spiritual force from birth. Otherwise, it is impossible to take the first step in tempering!
And as for the martial artist, although they cannot use their wild and violent yuanli to temper their brain, after advancing to Martial Emperor, the meridians that run through the body's brain have already been unblocked. Through the circulation of yuanli in the meridians, it can naturally continue to nourish the brain until it reaches the conditions for becoming a Yizhe, at which point they can begin tempering their brain...
"But why don't you cultivate your primordial energy and refine your physical body?"
Chen Hao thought of this, and while he was still refining the elixir, the image of Yun State City Lord Li Ran appeared in his mind. Chen Hao's extremely keen senses, which were several or even dozens of times more sensitive than ordinary people, could confirm that Emperor Realm expert Li Ran had already begun to refine his physical body, but the feeling it gave off was completely different from a martial artist's physical body.
This made Chen Hao somewhat puzzled.
He temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining the elixir!
……
The pure and unadulterated yuan force, circulating in the several meridians that have been opened up to the fourth layer of the "Longevity Formula", continuously tempering and nourishing every cell around each meridian.
Buzz!
Finally, when the three 5th-grade elixirs were about to be exhausted, a loud rumble came from the dantian, and Chen Huan clearly felt that his physical body was emitting a high-frequency vibration. At this moment, the pure yuan force flowing through the meridians suddenly accelerated several times!
The majestic and powerful yuan force, like a giant wave crashing against the shore, surged forward in a mighty impact towards Chen Huan's already comprehended barrier...
"Boom..."
One loud explosion after another, the air in the entire cultivation room turned into a series of explosions under Chen Haoyuan's frantic rotation of his Hunyuan Force, rumbling non-stop.
"This... has broken through?" Seated cross-legged on Chen Hao's bed, Xiao Mei, who had stayed behind to protect Chen Hao, was suddenly awakened by the huge commotion coming from the cultivation room. Her charming eyes were wide open with surprise and she muttered to herself, as if she didn't dare to believe it.
……
Xiao Mei didn't know that, a few meters away from Chen Huan's room, on the towering tree, a figure also let out a soft sigh at this moment and muttered to himself: "It seems that our ancestor was wise after all... This kid is really too abnormal... What a pity, what a pity... If the Yunzhou Martial Arts Conference could be postponed for another month, it wouldn't be impossible to defeat Hao Lianwu Zi..."
This figure was Xiao Ding.
He went all out to help Chen Huan refine, which was what Xiao Lao had entrusted him with. However, the spiritual medicine in the cultivation world was already in short supply, let alone fifth and sixth grade spiritual medicine, even third and fourth grade spiritual medicine were hard to come by in the trading market. After all, this was a martial world, where cultivators were as numerous as hairs on an ox, and the spiritual medicine they picked could barely meet their own needs, who would sell? The three sixth-grade elixirs and ten fifth-grade elixirs were all Xiao Ding's reserves for advancing to Martial Emperor, what Xiao Lao said was easy, but Xiao Ding would be heartbroken...
Giving it to Chen Hao means he will have to extend his stay in Wu Emperor's time again.
But now, sensing Chen Huan's breakthrough, Xiao Ding suddenly felt that what Old Man Xiao said was right and worth it...
"Huh?"
Just as Xiao Ding was about to leave, he suddenly felt a slight shock and his gaze turned towards the place 100 meters away from Chen Huan's small courtyard. That was Xiao Jihans residence!
"This kid... has he also broken through?"
Xiao Ding was slightly surprised, and his figure flashed, turning into a wisp of clear wind that quickly approached Xiao Jihans room. At the same time, one foot stepped into Wu Di's powerful perception, which quietly spread out without making a sound.
……
"Alright, alright, Jihan, what else do you have to worry about? The group stage still has five days left, the top ten loop, only five games can be played every day. As long as we don't meet the two from the Hao Lian family ahead of time, there are still several days to cultivate. With these spiritual medicines to help, with your talent, it's highly likely that you'll win the championship... I really didn't expect that your Dongfang family would be a branch of our Town Yuan Kingdom's three major families... However, Jihan, after all, I am a member of the Xiao family, please inform your father that after we succeed, the Yuanshen Cave will belong to your Dongfang family, and the Xiao family is mine..."
"Don't worry, Sixth Elder. In these three years, without your guidance, there wouldn't be the Dongfang Han of today. This time, being able to obtain help from our own family is also due to my cultivation and innate talent. My father will definitely keep his promise! However, you must be careful with this matter and absolutely cannot let Jiyuan know... For three years now, I won't hide it from you, I have some genuine feelings for that girl..."
"Uh, don't worry about it. Alright, I'll go first."
……
Xiao Ding never could have imagined that this unintentional eavesdropping would allow him to hear such an earth-shattering secret!
No wonder this time I came to participate in the Yunzhou Martial Arts Conference, the Dongfang family who should have come to visit didn't come; no wonder, with the financial resources of the Dongfang family and their good relationship with the four major families of Yunzhou, the Dongfang family would let Dongfang Han, also known as Xiao Jihan, choose the Xiao family!
Even Xiao Ding's deep composure was shaken at this moment, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
One of the three major families in the Zhongyang Kingdom, the Dongfang family!
Xiao Jihan's family is actually a branch of the Dongfang family, one of the three major families, and their goal is Xiao's Yuanshen Cave!
Although he still didn't know what kind of conspiracy Xiao Bo and Xiao Jihan's father had, Xiao Ding got a lot of information from their brief conversation.
……
Xiao Ding took a deep breath, furrowed his brow in contemplation for a moment, suppressing the shocking waves of astonishment in his heart, and then swiftly flew towards Xiao Guan's room!
Xiao Guan was a trusted aide of Xiao Ding. After a brief conversation with Xiao Guan, Xiao Ding swiftly departed from the Xiao family's residence like lightning.
There was still more than an hour before the competition started, which was enough time for Xiao Ding to return to the Xiao family and back with his cultivation. He didn't trust anyone else with this matter, so he had to take care of it himself!
……
"When is the host coming?"
At dawn, when Chen Huan and the other Xiao family disciples had all gathered on time to prepare for departure, the master of the house, Xiao Ding, did not show up. The Sixth Elder frowned and said.
"The master told me last night that he has reached a critical point in his cultivation. Let's go on our own, he will arrive before the competition starts." Just then, Xiao Guan with a cold face and expressionless, said in a low voice.
"Alright, let's set off... Ji Yan and all of you disciples, the reason I brought you here to watch the competition isn't for you to have fun. You must observe carefully and learn from it in order to gain something. In the future, the Xiao family will be relying on young people like you... Hmm, as long as you work hard at your cultivation and perform well, this elder will give you special attention and nurturing. Do you understand?" The Sixth Elder's face wore a warm smile as he spoke with an air of dignity. He was in a good mood, although it couldn't be fully expressed at the moment. As the Sixth Elder, educating these young people would also allow him to cultivate some loyal followers for when he took power, which wasn't a bad thing.
Xiao Guan's face was cold, and he didn't have the slightest expression towards Liu Zhanglao's pretentious behavior. Although he didn't know why the master had to rush back to the Xiao family in the middle of the night, the fact that the master was hiding it from Liu Zhanglao and others made Xiao Guan aware that it must be a big deal. Moreover, it was very likely related to Xiao Jihuan and Liu Zhanglao. After all, as Xiao Ding's confidant, he still knew something about Xiao Ding and Xiao Lao's decisions...
……
Martial arts arena.
When Chen Hao and others arrived at the martial arts arena, the stands were already packed, even the ten-square fighting platform used for battles yesterday had become a spectator stand, filled with spectators!
The top five teams will enter a round-robin tournament, as the strength of the contestants is now very close, and each battle may result in injuries, and the consumption will also be great. Therefore, the competition can no longer be fought continuously like yesterday's knockout match.
Each group has one bye per day, with only two matches. With ten groups, there are a total of twenty matches, so they are all concentrated on the main stage.
This also allows the audience to indulge in watching and not miss any exciting matches.
……
Before the match, Xiao Ding, as the deputy leader of the arbitration team, arrived on schedule. Chen Huan was lucky to draw a bye in the group stage, with five players in each group and only one bye per player. On the day of the draw, he would be the first to draw, and if he drew a bye again, he would have to redraw. It has to be said that being the first to get a bye was lucky for Chen Huan.
Chen Hao said a word to Xiao Guan and then returned to the Xiao family's residence with Xiao Mei.
Although Chen Hao also wanted to see the performance of each candidate, at this moment, what he needed more was cultivation!
Last night, Chen Huan had successfully advanced to a 4th-grade martial artist, but the huge pressure brought by Hao Liandu still didn't decrease at all. With his cultivation as a 4th-grade martial artist, Chen Huan still didn't have any confidence...
So before meeting Hao Lian Wu Zi, he must quickly upgrade himself. Only by upgrading his realm can he truly enhance his combat power!
