Chapter 57

A warm current surged in his abdomen, continuously flowing, causing Zongshou to sweat profusely, drenching his clothes.

Swallowing a single Liantai Pill was like swallowing a ball of fire. For a full one and a half hours, Zongshou's body felt as if it were being scorched by fire.

However, he did not feel the slightest bit of hardship; instead, he felt a sense of pleasure. The impurities and toxins in his body were expelled by the medicinal power, making him feel incredibly refreshed. Even the spreading pain throughout his body seemed less unbearable.

It was still the same set of Tai Xi Spirit Fist, but now it was accompanied by a powerful wind. Each punch he threw had a faint roar of dragons and tigers, fierce and domineering.

This set of fist techniques had this characteristic: if the fetal breath was not strong, it would naturally be weak and powerless. But once the two fetal breath meridians were formed, it would naturally be powerful and mighty, with unpredictable strength.

The principles of martial arts were interconnected. The principles of fist techniques and sword techniques were similar in detail, but roughly the same. Zongshou's fist techniques also contained a unique flavor. There were few changes, but they were grand and majestic!

With each punch, Zongshou felt the warm current in his chest and abdomen release even more. More medicinal power seeped into the muscles of his abdomen, either dispersing or settling and lying dormant.

The two fetal breath meridians expanded by nearly a full fold, truly making the breath surge like a spring, flowing continuously.

The entire Liantai Pill was gradually refined. Only the most essential part remained, still condensed and not dispersed, gathering near the qi sea.

Zongshou was neither anxious nor impatient. He softened his fist intent, making the qi in his body circulate several times before suddenly bursting out.

"Shatter!"

With a clear shout that could split metal and stone, Zongshou threw a punch, fierce and unparalleled. It clearly stirred up a sharp howl in the air, and the aftereffects of the fist wind struck the side of the compartment.

When a loud boom sounded, it made the Fanyun Cart tremble slightly. The compartment wall, which had just been repaired, was left with a shallow fist imprint.

The essence of the medicinal power in his body was also forcibly dispersed, seeping into his primordial fetus.

At this moment, Zongshou felt as if his chest and abdomen had an additional iron block, solid and firm.

"This is truly the surge of breath like a spring, the fetus as solid as a rock! The Snowclothed Temple's Tai Xi Spirit Fist and the Seven Spirits Sect's Seven Spirits Liantai Pill are indeed a perfect match! Just this one pill has made up for all the hidden dangers I had before—"

The medicinal power of the Liantai Pill had largely dissipated. However, Zongshou did not rest but instead endured his fatigue and began practicing the guiding technique he had created.

This was the second set, suitable for martial artists to practice, targeting the four wheel meridians of bone marrow, blood, and wisdom.

However, using it to disperse the remaining medicinal power still had a miraculous effect. It was still strange, mainly focusing on stretching tendons, bones, and muscle meridians.

Not until the last trace of warm current had subsided in his body did Zongshou stop. He directly took out a Cleansing Charm and used it to absorb the sweat and dirt, making his entire body clean again.

"This spirit master's charm technique is truly convenient. Not only for fighting and dueling, but also for daily life. No wonder those spirit masters are all incredibly lazy. To make the body feel fresh, one Cleansing Charm is enough; why bother with a bath? Unfortunately, Qi Xiao has few of these charms. I am now focused on cultivation and have no time to draw them—"

Putting aside these杂念, Zongshou turned his attention inward, and a glint of surprise immediately flashed in his eyes.

The two fetal breath meridians were not only free of hidden dangers but also significantly strengthened. With such a foundation, the subsequent bone marrow refinement could be achieved smoothly. He could also confidently attack the bone wheel without waiting for three months.

"Refining the fetal breath has always been best with the Seven Spirits Sect's Seven Spirits Liantai Pill, second only to the Human Peak Pill, known as a holy item by the world. I didn't believe it before, but now I know the rumors are true. Getting three pills at once is indeed good luck. Next is the bone marrow refinement. The Blood Mad Demon Saint also stored twenty portions of Tiger Marrow Dragon Bone Powder at the Sanlu Money House, made from the marrow of second-stage refined beasts and the bones of second-stage large snakes. However, if it comes to bone marrow refinement, the best spiritual medicine in the Donglin Cloud Realm is the Lingyun Sect's Yunluo Pill. But this thing is probably not needed—"

He gave a self-deprecating smile. At this moment, Zongshou was secretly rejoicing over his luck, unaware that hundreds of miles away, the woman who had given him the Liantai Pill had already sold him for more than ten times the bet.

After a brief period of adjustment to stabilize his breath, Zongshou took out a blue pill and swallowed it.

This Xuehun Pill was indeed as cold as its name suggested. As soon as Zongshou swallowed it, he shivered. It was completely the opposite of the previous Liantai Pill.

Without his control, a thread of icy cold qi rose straight to the Shenshao acupoint, entering the soul sea.

The yin force of heaven and earth suddenly converged, enveloping his primordial soul. As the icy cold qi seeped in, it was drawn into the vortex in the soul sea, transforming into pure soul force.

Interestingly, the impurities and impure soul force that were usually undetectable were 'frozen' and revealed under the cold influence.

"This Xuehun Pill is indeed excellent!"

Zongshou's mind was immediately shaken, and he became even more focused, beginning to expel them one by one.

After a short while, he had cleared his entire soul sea. Unfortunately, the medicinal power of the Xuehun Pill was gradually dissipating.

The changes within his soul also brought Zongshou a pleasant surprise.

"The total soul force has increased by about one-tenth. The primordial soul is also more refined. Hmm? Not only that, even the hidden injuries left from the Heavenly Mirror Soul Technique, which burned and forged the soul force, have been repaired. I didn't expect it to have such a miraculous effect—"

Unfortunately, the time the medicine could take effect was too short, lasting only about half an hour in total.

Looking at the medicine bottle in his hand, Zongshou decisively put it away.

If it only increased soul force and refined the primordial soul, he would use it without hesitation. But since it also had the ability to heal his injuries, he could not waste it so easily.

At this moment, Zongshou suddenly sensed something and looked ahead. He felt a strong surge of spiritual energy at the front of the Fanyun Cart, affecting an area of several dozen feet.

It lasted for about half an hour before gradually subsiding.

"Too bad, just one step away from entering the innate realm!"

Since escaping the wolf pack, Yin Yang had frequently entered this state. He continuously stirred up waves of spiritual energy, but often after a short while, they would subside again.

This was a sign that his cultivation had reached the threshold of the innate realm. The foundation Yin Yang had built under the constraints of the spirit law was indeed too strong. Now, he was just one step away from entering the innate realm and becoming an innate martial artist!

However, there was no rush. If this attempt failed, he could always break through after some time.

"I wonder if I have harmed him. If he can break through the innate realm and the spirit law constraints on his own before the age of forty, his future achievements will be limitless. I hope the bottle of Blood Cloud Marrow can help. This thing can strengthen the skin and generate flesh, and its effects are not bad—"

Just as he thought this, Zongshou suddenly felt a strong sense of drowsiness and fatigue.

Despite his willpower, he could not resist it. His head tilted to the side, and he fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, his mind arrived in a vast, pitch-black place, where everything was silent and chaotic, with no clear boundaries.

"Where is this?"

Zongshou frowned slightly, then suddenly realized something. A small light appeared before his eyes.

PS: Since Chapter 57 was updated yesterday, this chapter is a compensation. Comrades, my ranking is about to drop two places, and there are four days left until I leave the new book list. Please help me! Also, I can appoint a moderator. Flower Season Traveler, a female reader, is shamelessly asking for a QQ number.

In the last related content, I posted a picture of Su Chuxue.
