Chapter 87

Guangling Mansion.

Zhao Feng returned to his residence and had a maid bring a bucket of scalding hot water. He then poured a packet of "Bone-Strengthening and Muscle-Fortifying Powder" into it.

The Bone-Strengthening and Muscle-Fortifying Powder was similar to the Body-Refining Powder Zhao Feng used before, but it was several levels higher, belonging to the top-tier auxiliary body-refining treasures.

A packet of Body-Refining Powder was worth over two thousand taels, while a packet of Bone-Strengthening and Muscle-Fortifying Powder was worth thirty-nine thousand taels, with a value difference of more than ten times!

"I've heard that the 'Bone-Strengthening and Muscle-Fortifying Powder' has miraculous effects on the cultivation of body-refining martial arts. I wonder if it will improve my 'Silver Wall Technique.'"

Zhao Feng then immersed himself in the scalding medicinal liquid.

The scalding medicinal liquid was hot enough to scald an ordinary person's skin, but it caused no harm to Zhao Feng's robust body.

Gurgle, gurgle!

The medicinal liquid suddenly began to bubble, with a hint of purplish-red waves, like blooming flowers, giving off a somewhat alluring sensation.

Zhao Feng felt a sharp, burning sensation from his skin, gradually penetrating his body, seeping into his flesh and bones.

"What a domineering medicinal power!"

Cold sweat trickled down Zhao Feng's forehead, his face contorted in pain, but he endured it without a sound.

According to the introduction of the Bone-Strengthening and Muscle-Fortifying Powder, a Seventh Rank martial artist would typically use it in two sessions, even for those cultivating body-refining martial arts.

Zhao Feng believed that with his cultivation of the 'Silver Wall Technique' and his strong physical body, he should be able to easily soak in the entire packet of medicinal powder in one session.

However, he did not expect that his body, transformed by the mysterious left eye, had a very strong absorption capacity for external medicinal power.

Thump, thump!

Zhao Feng felt a lingering warmth from his left eye, as if his entire body had turned into an ice block, rapidly absorbing the medicinal power from the liquid.

The efficiency and speed of absorbing the medicinal power were more than twice that of an ordinary martial artist.

Therefore, the medicinal power he endured was even more domineering and pure.

For the first few hours, Zhao Feng endured unimaginable torment, with the piercing pain spreading throughout his body, both inside and out.

An ordinary person would have collapsed and fainted long ago.

However, Zhao Feng's mind remained clear, and the mysterious aura emitted by his left eye kept his state of mind extremely calm.

After half a day, Zhao Feng gradually adapted to the intense burning and piercing pain.

During this period, he slowly circulated the 'Primordial Energy Technique' to assist in absorbing the medicinal power, ensuring a more even distribution throughout his body.

The inclusiveness of the 'Primordial Energy Technique' made Zhao Feng's absorption of the medicinal power very successful, with even higher efficiency.

After a day and a night,

Zhao Feng had completely absorbed the medicinal power from a packet of "Bone-Strengthening and Muscle-Fortifying Powder."

However, there was still some residual medicinal power left in his body.

Zhao Feng spent three days focusing on cultivating the 'Silver Wall Technique,' refining his body and thoroughly absorbing the remaining medicinal power.

"Truly a precious auxiliary body-refining treasure..."

Zhao Feng felt a significant improvement in the 'Silver Wall Technique.'

Originally, when the 'Silver Wall Technique' reached the sixth level, Zhao Feng's progress had slowed down, almost coming to a halt.

This was as the taciturn youth had once said: "For holy-grade body-refining martial arts, the initial stages are relatively easier compared to other similar martial arts. However, the middle and later stages are several times more difficult."

Fortunately, Zhao Feng's body, transformed by the mysterious left eye, had an extremely high absorption efficiency for the medicinal liquid, allowing his progress to steadily improve.

After using a packet of "Bone-Strengthening and Muscle-Fortifying Powder," Zhao Feng began to consider the other few precious pills: three Blood-Condensing Body-Refining Pills, two Qi-Absorbing Pills, and one Yang-Solidifying Essence-Enhancing Pill.

Among them, the Blood-Condensing Body-Refining Pill was also a precious auxiliary for body-refining and strengthening a martial artist's physique.

It was evident that the items Zhao Feng purchased were mainly focused on body-refining and strengthening.

He deeply remembered what Lord Guangjun had said: the most important thing for a Ninth Rank martial artist is the body.

Secondly, the "Qi-Absorbing Pill" was used to enhance and improve martial arts inner strength, prepared for the semi-holy-grade 'Primordial Energy Technique.'

The last "Yang-Solidifying Essence-Enhancing Pill," worth eighty thousand taels, could improve the cultivation of a martial arts master, especially for men practicing yang-just martial arts.

Body, inner strength, and cultivation.

The four precious items Zhao Feng purchased mainly targeted these three aspects, with the first being the priority.

Next,

Zhao Feng took a "Blood-Condensing Body-Refining Pill." This pill also had a domineering medicinal power but could greatly enhance a martial artist's physical fitness, strengthen blood and qi, and refine and nourish the body.

It took Zhao Feng two to three days to completely absorb the medicinal power of this precious pill.

After digesting this pill, Zhao Feng felt a further improvement in his physical fitness and body strength, which also had a significant promoting effect on the cultivation of the 'Silver Wall Technique.'

Following the sequence, the third pill he took was the "Qi-Absorbing Pill."

With a sufficiently strong physical foundation, taking the Qi-Absorbing Pill and circulating the 'Primordial Energy Technique,' Zhao Feng felt his martial arts inner strength rapidly advancing, much faster than the progress of the 'Silver Wall Technique.'

This made him deeply understand the importance of a solid physical foundation.

As for the last and most precious "Yang-Solidifying Essence-Enhancing Pill," Zhao Feng did not take it yet.

In the following half month, Zhao Feng focused on cultivating the holy-grade martial art 'Silver Wall Technique,' with the 'Primordial Energy Technique' as a secondary focus.

He consumed three packets of "Bone-Strengthening and Muscle-Fortifying Powder," three "Blood-Condensing Body-Refining Pills," and two "Qi-Absorbing Pills."

At this point, his 'Silver Wall Technique' reached the peak of the sixth level.

Reaching this realm, Zhao Feng's entire body was like a silver wall, and when he deliberately activated the 'Silver Wall Technique,' a faint silver glow appeared on his skin, making him look like a silver-bodied arhat, unbreakable.

"Without using martial arts inner strength, relying solely on the physical strength and powerful defense of the 'Silver Wall Technique,' I should be able to stand on equal footing with ordinary Seventh Rank martial artists."

Zhao Feng thought to himself.

This was still at the sixth level of the 'Silver Wall Technique.' If he broke through to the seventh level, relying solely on physical strength, he could almost sweep through Seventh Rank martial arts masters, unless the opponent also practiced a holy-grade martial art.

Next, Zhao Feng was going to take the last "Yang-Solidifying Essence-Enhancing Pill."

This pill was worth eighty thousand taels and could consolidate and enhance the cultivation of Seventh and Eighth Rank martial arts masters.

Zhao Feng kept this pill for last, wanting to better absorb its medicinal power on the foundation of a powerful physical body, to push his cultivation.

Closing his eyes, Zhao Feng took the "Yang-Solidifying Essence-Enhancing Pill."

In the left eye space, the pale green spiral halo extended to about seven feet two or three inches.

After advancing to the Seventh Rank, Zhao Feng's cultivation progress became extremely slow, and the previous precious medicines mainly served to refine the body, with limited effects on cultivation improvement.

After taking the "Yang-Solidifying Essence-Enhancing Pill," Zhao Feng felt a vast medicinal power dissolve in his body, emitting a yang-just aura, a warm and gentle sensation, not domineering.

The medicinal power of this pill was released and digested gradually.

Zhao Feng spent seven to eight days continuously circulating the 'Primordial Energy Technique,' feeling his inner strength becoming increasingly thick and pure, and his spirit and vitality also significantly improving.

After eight days,

Zhao Feng had basically absorbed the medicinal power of the pill.

At this time, the pale green spiral halo in the left eye space extended to about seven feet six or seven inches.

After a month of arduous effort, Zhao Feng's cultivation did not reach the peak of the Seventh Rank.

"Breaking through to the Seventh Rank, the cultivation progress is so slow, it's hard to imagine that Beimo's cultivation is almost at the Ninth Rank."

Zhao Feng sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, his 'Silver Wall Technique' had reached the peak of the sixth level, laying a solid foundation, and he believed that breaking through to the Eighth Rank would not take more than three months.

In addition, Zhao Feng's 'Primordial Energy Technique' had reached a certain level, and with the help of the "Qi-Absorbing Pill" and the "Yang-Solidifying Essence-Enhancing Pill," his martial arts inner strength was nearly twice that of his peers.

With a deep breath, Zhao Feng could mobilize the substantial Primordial Inner Strength in his body, both in intensity and quantity, far surpassing top-tier martial arts.

Twice the martial arts inner strength of his peers would greatly enhance his combat power.

"My current strength should have no opponents within the Seventh Rank. Challenging ordinary Eighth Rank martial artists should not be a problem. But encountering someone like Beimo, there's not much chance of winning."

Zhao Feng rationally assessed his strength.

His current strength could challenge Eighth Rank martial artists and even have a chance to win, but this was only for ordinary Eighth Rank martial artists.

However, geniuses like Beimo and Nangong Fan, as disciples of Lord Guangjun, likely practiced holy-grade or semi-holy-grade martial arts, making their strength comparable to or even surpassing their peers, and capable of challenging higher ranks.

For example, Beimo already had the strength to slay Ninth Rank martial artists, which was a terrifying level. Zhao Feng estimated that ordinary semi-holy-grade martial arts might not even impress Beimo.

...

After a month of cultivation, Zhao Feng's strength had rapidly improved, and he finally emerged from seclusion.

In the courtyard, a servant steward reported, "Young Master, before you entered seclusion, Miss Zhao Yufei and Young Master Feng Yin Yue both came to look for you."

Oh?

Zhao Feng stretched his limbs and slowly walked out of the pavilion courtyard.

Since Zhao Yufei and Feng Yin Yue's residences were not far from his,

After a while,

Zhao Feng, Zhao Yufei, and Feng Yin Yue, the three young men, gathered together.

All three were from the Heavenly Guard Camp and were relatively familiar with each other.

"Junior Brother Zhao, after a month of seclusion, your cultivation progress should have been significant, right?"

Feng Yin Yue smiled faintly, slightly curious.

"Compared to Senior Brother Feng, I still fall short."

Zhao Feng noticed that Feng Yin Yue's cultivation was almost at the peak of the Seventh Rank, living up to his reputation as the strongest super genius in the Heavenly Guard Camp.

Zhao Yufei's progress was also incredibly fast, having already broken through to the Seventh Rank.

During the test in the Spirit Martial Hall, both Zhao Yufei and Feng Yin Yue slightly outperformed Zhao Feng.

Today, the three young men gathered to spar and discuss.

Zhao Feng did not refuse and sparred with Zhao Yufei and Feng Yin Yue.

The result was that Feng Yin Yue and Zhao Feng were evenly matched, while Zhao Yufei was slightly inferior.

During the sparring, Zhao Feng only used about sixty to seventy percent of his 'Silver Wall Technique,' and he held back on other martial arts like the 'Star-Pointing Finger' and the 'Smoke-Wave Shadow Step.'

Even so, Zhao Feng was surprised by Feng Yin Yue's strength.

Although he held back, he couldn't be sure if the other side didn't have hidden reserves.

But the truly surprised one was Feng Yin Yue. In just a month, Zhao Feng could already match him.

During the sparring, Zhao Feng also noticed that both Feng Yin Yue and Zhao Yufei had cultivated several semi-holy-grade martial arts.

"As disciples of Lord Guangjun, we can freely browse semi-holy-grade martial arts in the 'Treasure Profound Hall,' but we can only take out ten in total."

Feng Yin Yue smiled.

This news greatly surprised Zhao Feng, explaining why the taciturn youth and Beimo didn't seem to care much about semi-holy-grade martial arts that day.

Being a disciple of Lord Guangjun had such a significant advantage!

Zhao Feng decided to visit the 'Treasure Profound Hall' when he had the chance, and his left eye ability would come in handy again.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. In three days, Nangong Fan will invite us fellow disciples to spar, including the personal disciple Beimo..."

Feng Yin Yue dropped a piece of news.
