A small casual cultivator!

Chapter 241: Physical Strength Increases

As time passed, although countless uncomfortable feelings flooded into his brain, he also felt that something entangled in his body was slowly becoming weaker and receding bit by bit.

The whole person's condition is like a wooden barrel full of water in an ordinary person's home, but under the infiltration of the medicinal liquid, the wooden barrel becomes bigger, so it can hold more.

This is a magical transformation process.

Only a great sect like the Pengling Sect would have such good stuff. Even if it was just a small bottle, it would benefit him a lot.

However, this process was extremely painful, and it was also a repeated test of his willpower.

Nothing in the world can be obtained for no reason, there is always a price to pay.

It's just that the amount of medicine is not much. As the medicinal effect reaches its peak, all the discomfort begins to subside. He is also a flesh and blood body, otherwise he might not be able to bear it. After all, some outer disciples on Hunyuan Peak have to be given acupuncture during tempering to ensure their consciousness.

Occasionally a breeze blew in the cave, and the leaves outside fell down. Three days later.

The once lively emerald green color has disappeared, and the medicine liquid has become like the ordinary pool of water next to it.

As the effects of the medicine were completely absorbed, the hot red color on Lu Luan's body began to slowly fade away and gradually returned to normal.

"call!"

Ripples began to appear on the calm water surface. Lu Luan opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

His eyes revealed a little tiredness at this moment. It was obvious that these past few days were not so easy for him. He couldn't help but sighed with relief and chuckled: "Haha, it's finally over."

Fortunately, he has a strong will. If he were an ordinary cultivator, he would have wasted God's gift.

Lu Luan jumped out, put on the clothes placed aside, and after feeling himself, he murmured to himself: "Although there is no change in the strength of the body, it is as if I have thrown away a very heavy package, and my whole body is light and fluttering."

Shaking his head, he decided to do nothing further. Without paying too much attention, he sat cross-legged on the stone, took a look at the small ginseng that had transformed into its original form and grown in the soil not far away, and then began to regulate his breathing.

"I wonder how much my strength can be improved? And the rune defense..."

He began to look forward to the changes that would follow, and after quickly making adjustments, he set up several restrictions around him to prevent the aura of the spiritual medicine from leaking out.

After doing all this, he took out all the spiritual medicines he had traded in Pengling Sect and hung them around. There were Ganoderma lucidum, Poria cocos, etc., more than ten kinds.

These are extremely rare and precious medicinal herbs, with a total value of more than three hundred spirit stones. So as soon as they came out, the entire restriction was filled with fluctuations of spiritual aura and it began to boil.

The small ginseng not far away seemed to sense something. After shaking its lush and verdant branches and leaves gently, it jumped out of the soil with a pop, turned into a doll shape and watched.

"I must practice hard so that I can help my brother soon."

After feeling the fluctuations of medicinal power in many of those spiritual herbs that were stronger than his own, Xiao Shen sat on the stone muttering, looking dejected, with his little fists clenched tightly, and he was very unhappy.

It felt that it was outshined by these spiritual herbs.

Then he began to practice seriously.

Inside the restriction, Lu Luan moved his hands around to both sides, placed them in front of him, and began to activate the five elements of spiritual energy in his body.

Gradually, a very strong suction force came from his body, and the spiritual medicine hanging in the five directions of his body seemed to be attracted by something, shaking slightly, but after two breaths, it suddenly became quiet.

The next moment, dots of light flew out from it like fireflies in the middle of the night and gathered towards Lu Luan's body. As time passed, these lights of different colors became more and more numerous, swirling around him with him as the center, like a whirlpool in a turbulent flow, entering his five internal organs.

With the influx of these massive amounts of five elements' essence, his spiritual fetus became more and more mature. Five dazzling balls of light lit up in his body, and the aura was heavy, like towering peaks.

Soon after these essences were transformed by the spirit fetus, they circulated throughout the body and entered the Huangting, causing a storm in the Huangting. The essence of the whole person increased, the vitality was improved, the body was slowly changing, the qi and blood were dormant and surging, and the strength became stronger little by little.

"call!"

"call!"

His breathing gradually became longer and deeper.

The aura around his body spread out in circles, and his long hair fluttered behind him.

One month passed, two months passed, three months passed.

No matter how good these medicinal herbs are, they cannot withstand such absorption and have all withered and died.

But before it had completely disappeared, his body seemed to have become saturated, and the absorption rate slowly slowed down.

Lu Luan opened his eyes, frowned and said to himself: "Is it all over?"

The effect of the quenching fluid was ultimately limited, and there was some disappointment in his eyes.

But he was prepared. He opened his hand and took out the demon crystal.

Sure enough, when this thing appeared, the Five Elements Spirit Fetus, which had been slightly depressed, became more active. Then, without his control, the Spirit Fetus began to move on its own, greedily absorbing this very matching essence.

At the same time, the essence of the spiritual herbs in the surrounding area that had not yet been completely absorbed also began to be absorbed along with it.

His physical body began to develop in a stronger direction again.

After all the essence was absorbed, he was far from calm, as the real transformation had just begun.

This time, with such a huge amount of essence contained in him, the vitality in his body reached its extreme. Although he still looked a little thin, he gave people a feeling of prosperity, and deep in this aura, it seemed that something was brewing in secret.

Time passes slowly like an old monk in meditation.

A thin layer of dust began to form on his body.

Three months later.

Lu Luan, who was in silence, suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze was as sharp as a sword.

"call!"

He exhaled lightly, and his breath began to surge quietly. He clenched his fists, and there was a sound of air being squeezed out of his fists.

After feeling the current strength, he said in surprise: "I didn't expect that my physical strength has doubled to the terrifying strength of more than 3,000 fierce horses!"

The fierce horses here are incomparable to ordinary horses in the world.

"Is Xiaocan also about to break through?"

He looked at the little Cang who was practicing not far away. There was a lot of mist-like spiritual energy flowing around the little guy. After half a year of seclusion together, it was about to make a breakthrough.

This breakthrough is the ninth level of Qi Refining.

After smiling gently, he quietly flew out of the cave and went outside.

I have to try to see how strong I am now!

Soon he stopped on the sea, looking indifferently at the twenty-meter-high peak protruding from the sea in front of him.

After taking a deep breath, he clenched his fists, looked straight ahead, and suddenly, his eyes focused! His breath boiled.

Next, he turned into a stream of light, stepped on the waves that were a hundred feet high, and walked on the sea!

In the blink of an eye, he arrived and punched out with the force of thunder.

"boom!"

A deafening noise!

In an instant, the entire mountain was shaking violently, and the surrounding sea water was also startled and scattered with huge waves.

When his fist collided with the mountain, runes appeared on his body, and then a huge dent appeared in the rock.

With a bang, he rushed across and smashed half of the mountain into pieces with one punch. The rubble fell into the sea and the dust spread. Due to the spread of the force and the lack of support from the other half, the remaining half slowly tilted and fell into the sea, creating a splash of water dozens of feet high.

Lu Luan stood on the sea, looking at the traces he had left behind, then he looked down at his fist and said to himself, "It shouldn't be difficult for me to fight against a casual cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building with just my physical strength now."

He was very satisfied with the change in strength, secretly saying that it was worth spending so many spirit stones.

Especially that demon crystal, although it was only worth about fifty or sixty intermediate spirit stones, the essence content in it was more than what he could buy with a treasure worth a hundred spirit stones.

If you add the value of the medicinal powder, the total amount is almost five hundred intermediate spirit stones.

Having consumed so many spirit stones, his current strength did not disappoint him.

Refining the physical body is so expensive, and few casual practitioners can afford it.

"Although the strength has been improved, but the defense?"

Then he thought about it and looked at the runes on his body. He frowned and sighed with some regret: "Ah, although it has improved a lot, it is still a little weak. However, it should be able to withstand ordinary attacks from the middle stage of foundation building easily."

With such a big change in his physical body, he had hoped that this layer of defense could block the attacks of those who were close to a breakthrough in the middle stage of foundation building.

But this inheritance is only the second-class inheritance of Zhengyang Sect after all, left by the elders in the early stage of foundation building. It is already very good to have helped him until now. As time goes by, the changes will not be as obvious as before.

After the inspection, he flew back.

The young ginseng was still sitting cross-legged with its eyes closed. When it was about to break through, its aura began to stir. At the same time, the few young leaves on its head became more colorful, and some medicinal power was emitted, entwining between the leaves.

Lu Luan landed gently, stared at the white and tender little body for a while, and finally stopped his gaze between the leaves, or to be more precise, on the ribbon-like medicinal power.

He thought, “Although Xiao Shen is only at the Qi Refining stage, his body is very ancient, and the medicinal power of these medicines is quite good.”

Carefully taken care of by him, Xiao Can's previous physical deficiencies have been completely recovered. Since he holds the gourd and drinks spiritual liquid when he has nothing to do, his physical quality has also improved to a higher level.

If it was worth more than forty intermediate spirit stones before, it should be worth more than fifty now. Of course, the value of a ginseng with such high intelligence and the ability to refine the six qi cannot be determined solely by its medicinal effect.

"Oh right, the effect of the medicine!"

Lu Luan suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.

Staring at the little fellow, he thought to himself, "Medicinal power, Elder Lu suggested using something rich in the essence of life to condense the Dharmakaya. Doesn't the medicinal power of spiritual herbs just meet the requirements? Moreover, these things are very beneficial to the body. If I use medicinal power to condense the Dharmakaya, even if something goes wrong in the future, it won't hurt me much."

A light bulb went off in his head and an idea came to his mind.

If you use the medicinal power of spiritual herbs to condense the Dharma image, your vitality will be greatly enhanced again when the Dharma image and the body are united. By that time, you may not even need to swallow pills when you are injured, and you can recover quickly on your own.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him. If he could get a good herb, he could absorb its medicinal properties and even regenerate severed limbs.

The medicinal power washes over the whole body, isn't this equivalent to refining a magical medicine cave?

Of course, he did not set his sights on the small ginseng. After all, for spiritual herbs, the medicinal power is equivalent to human essence and blood.

"After Xiao Shen breaks through, I will go out and find some spiritual herbs to try. But before that, I have to refine the black sword first."

He thought of the black sword in the storage ring. Now that his strength had greatly increased, he had to completely refine the black sword into a spiritual weapon before he could exert his greatest strength.

After making up his mind, he saw that it would take some time for Xiao Can to break through, so he waited patiently.

He took out the leaf and began to comprehend the art of beheading gods, while at the same time taking a piece of magic fruit pulp.

Five days later.

The aura around Xiaocan reached its peak.

Finally, as if an eggshell was broken, the aura changed again.

"A breakthrough?"

Lu Luan smiled at the little guy in front of him.

After a while, Xiao Can opened his eyes and said to him excitedly: "Brother, I have made a breakthrough."

The little face was already red from smiling.

Lu Luan reached out and rubbed its head, praising it: "Not bad, let's go out and buy you something delicious."

"it is good!"

Xiao Can nodded happily and then jumped onto his shoulders.

Lu Luan's figure moved, broke through the air, flew outside, and soon disappeared on the sea.

The next step is to find a weapon refiner to rebuild the black sword, and then go to Lingding Island to look for the soul fish's essence blood.
