Chapter 63

Once again, Gufan felt that sense of fullness.

Although there was still some room left, Gufan decisively ended this treatment.

With each attempt, the amount of innate yin sha energy that could be stimulated, Gufan had a clear understanding of the range. If he were to stimulate it one more time, he wouldn't be able to fully absorb it.

So, that's it!

After removing the silver needles from Qin Muyu's body, Gufan said, "I will refine this innate yin sha energy. You go and rest and recover. Also, tell Shumei to try it when she feels hungry. See if she can absorb your innate yin sha energy!"

"Okay, refine it with peace of mind!" Qin Muyu nodded.

She could feel that the amount of innate yin sha energy absorbed this time was much more than the last, almost double.

There were still a little over two days, more than fifty hours left. Perhaps there could be two or three more treatments.

If so, the total amount of innate yin sha energy would decrease. Maybe, it could really withstand the extreme eruption of ten thousand deaths!

"I need to do more preparation!" Qin Muyu thought to herself. Every year on her birthday, she could get through it with some means. These means, combined with Gufan, would be like a double insurance.

"I will survive, I will!" Qin Muyu was determined, with a strong will to live.

"This time, it's almost double!" As the absorber, Gufan naturally had a direct judgment of the innate yin sha energy absorbed. So Gufan was still very excited.

With the strengthening of his physical body, the amount absorbed would also increase, thus further reducing the pressure on Qin Muyu.

"Refine!" Gufan roared in a low voice, his face resolute.

However, thinking about the pain of refining this innate yin sha energy, which felt like being gnawed by ten thousand worms, Gufan was still a bit apprehensive.

But now, he couldn't back down!

Gritting his teeth, Gufan began to refine again.

And soon, a pain even more intense than before came!

"Damn, it's even stronger!" Gufan was greatly alarmed, unable to resist cursing.

The original pain was already hard to bear, and he had barely used it to temper his will. He had thought that with his current willpower, facing that pain again, although it would still be hard to bear, it would be much better than before.

But now, the pain had escalated, as if it was trying to kill Gufan!

"There's no free lunch in the world! To gain powerful physical strength, one must endure even greater pain!" Gufan's face was contorted, but his eyes were even more resolute. He gritted his teeth, persisted, and absolutely refused to give up.

A harvest requires effort. Without effort, how can one possess anything?

Cultivation is like this, it's a fundamental truth.

Gufan thought that as long as he could endure, his physical strength and willpower would be greatly enhanced, giving him more motivation.

Especially the enhancement of physical strength.

Once his physical strength was enhanced to the level of the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, there was a possibility of touching the threshold of the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation.

According to his master, once he stepped into the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation, breaking new ground, it would be more hopeful to break the millennia-old curse and achieve the Golden Core!

Since he had embarked on this path of cultivation, Gufan did not want to stop at the Foundation Establishment stage. So, he had to strive for that hope to go further.

This refinement took longer than the last time, a full one and a half hours, before it was completed.

The powerful feeling in his body, filling his heart, made the nearly exhausted Gufan smile.

Moreover, as expected, he was once again cleansed of impurities! His body was very smelly.

But now, Gufan was so weak that he didn't even care about the smell.

He didn't even use his spiritual energy to recover immediately, but lay on the floor, greedily enjoying the wonderful feeling of no pain... Without experiencing that pain, one couldn't understand how comfortable it was to have no pain in the body.

However, after just three to five minutes, Gufan immediately mobilized the remaining spiritual energy to flow throughout his body.

Under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, the weak feeling in Gufan's body quickly disappeared.

The spiritual energy of the Immortal Doctor was full of vitality, and using it to recover from physical fatigue was just a small matter.

After a slight recovery, Gufan couldn't bear the smell in his body any longer. He immediately rushed to the bathroom.

"There are still so many impurities in my body?" Gufan rubbed the gray balls on his body, his face full of confusion.

"But, being able to cleanse the body again is a good thing. If I can't figure it out, I'll just put it aside for now!" Gufan immediately put these thoughts aside and began to clean carefully.

After cleaning, Gufan was a bit dumbfounded.

The previous clothes couldn't be worn again!

"It seems I should have Qin Muyu prepare a few more sets of spare clothes!" Gufan muttered to himself, then his eyes brightened as he mumbled, "I wonder to what extent my physical strength has increased? Previously, it was equivalent to the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation. I wonder if it has now reached the seventh layer?"

He immediately called Qin Muyu.

To deliver clothes and be a sparring partner!

Actually, it wasn't that Gufan had to experiment right now, but the feeling in his body that needed to be vented made him do so.

If he didn't fully control his current physical strength, there might be a deviation during the acupuncture.

Time was so precious now, and any deviation couldn't be tolerated.

"Can't you open the door?" Qin Muyu delivered the clothes, but was really speechless at the scene of only a crack in the door. She felt Gufan was more and more stingy and that she was more and more at a disadvantage.

Gufan had seen her twice, but she hadn't seen him even once...

"Cough, that, go and prepare a few more sets of clothes, then we'll go to the underground secret room. I need to control my current strength to better avoid errors during the acupuncture!" Gufan was slightly embarrassed but still insisted on only opening a crack in the door.

"Hmph! Here!" Qin Muyu seemed very angry, as if she was very rare.

Gufan quickly closed the door. As for whether Qin Muyu was angry or not, well, it was about his sacred body. If she was angry, let her be.

After changing clothes, Gufan and Qin Muyu went directly to the underground secret room.

The sky was already slightly bright.

One treatment plus the digestion and absorption of the innate yin sha energy took several hours.

"Am I still at the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation this time?" Qin Muyu asked, standing in the underground secret room.

"No, this time control it at the seventh layer!" Gufan shook his head and said, "I feel that my progress has been significant, and I should already be at the level of the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation!"

"What a freak!" Qin Muyu muttered, then her body emitted the spiritual energy of the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation and said, "Be careful!"

"Come on!" Gufan concentrated all his strength and threw a punch!

Just like before, the first time, both of them still had an experimental mindset, wanting to see what level Gufan's current strength had reached. This could also basically give a direct judgment of Gufan's current physical strength.

This time, after the collision, Qin Muyu's body swayed, but she eventually stood steady. Gufan, on the other hand, retreated five steps before he could stand steady.

"Peak of the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation?" Gufan looked at Qin Muyu and asked.

"Not quite!" Qin Muyu didn't believe that Gufan's physical strength could increase so much. So she only used part of it.

"How much?" Gufan asked.

"Half!" Qin Muyu said, "You can now use about three-tenths of the spiritual energy of the seventh layer of Qi Cultivation!"

"It should be this level! The improvement is a bit small!" Gufan muttered to himself.

Hearing Gufan's words, Qin Muyu couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling even more speechless.

"Is this improvement small? Your spiritual energy is already at the peak of the ninth layer of Qi Cultivation. You should know how much the improvement from the sixth to the seventh layer is. To improve to the level of three-tenths of the seventh layer in one go, is this small?" Qin Muyu couldn't help but get a bit angry.

Wanting to hit someone, but not to this extent?

"Alright, alright, no matter how much improvement. It's all because of you! Without your innate yin sha energy, how could I improve my physical strength so quickly?" Gufan said with a smile. If he still relied on cancer toxin balls, it would be impossible to improve his physical strength to this level with even a hundred toxin balls. In this sense, Qin Muyu was really Gufan's lucky star.

"Who would have thought that the innate yin sha energy that everyone talks about with fear, you can absorb and even use to enhance your physical strength?" Qin Muyu said helplessly. In this world, perhaps only a freak like Gufan could do such a thing.

"So, even for the sake of having innate yin sha energy to help me enhance my physical strength in the future, I can't let you die!" Gufan said with a smile.

"Hmph, is that all I'm good for?" Qin Muyu coldly snorted.

"That's all you're good for! Do you think there's anything else? There really isn't!" Gufan spread his hands and said with a smile.

"You, I hate you!" Qin Muyu glared, wanting to get angry, but in the end, only lightly said, "I hate you!"

Gufan touched his nose and smiled a bit shyly.

"Why are you so obsessed with physical strength?" Qin Muyu asked curiously.

"I want to enter the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation!" Gufan said solemnly.

The tenth layer of Qi Cultivation was a legend, and this legend was not only known to the Immortal Doctor sect. Gufan could see that Qin Muyu had a deep family background, so she should also know about this legend.

"The tenth layer of Qi Cultivation... Are you crazy! For thousands of years, no one has succeeded. Even before the great change, no one succeeded, never!"

"Never before doesn't mean never in the future!" Gufan said with a smile.

"In my view, the tenth layer of Qi Cultivation doesn't even exist! You're just wasting time and energy now!" Qin Muyu was exceptionally serious.

"Regardless, I want to try!" Gufan smiled slightly. His determination wouldn't be shaken by Qin Muyu's few words.
