Chapter 13

Just arrived in Zhejiang, I was delighted to see "Only I" reach the homepage recommendation, thanks to the support of my brothers and sisters.

...

Human's spiritual energy and physical strength are limited. After repeatedly refining the move "Vajra Path," after a hundred punches, Chen Mo's Bright Spirit Energy was depleted. More seriously, his muscles, bones, and meridians could not withstand the sudden high-intensity refinement, inevitably causing varying degrees of damage to his body.

At this point, he must stop practicing and wait for his body to recover, taking a few days to restore his qi and blood. Otherwise, forcing the practice would inevitably harm his body, making it counterproductive. Of course, if one is wealthy, buying more healing and body-strengthening pills, or seeking the help of high-level Wood or Water element experts for treatment, could speed up the recovery. However, that is a privilege of the rich, far beyond the reach of someone like Chen Mo, who can hardly enjoy even a small Spirit Gathering Pill.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse. After venting, he sat cross-legged, gathered his mind, and continued to regulate and refine his qi. The Bright Spirit Energy in his qi sea, which had been completely depleted, once again became full.

However, a surprising scene unfolded. The tender sprout in his consciousness sea swayed, pleasingly exuding a hint of green, which merged into the Bright Spirit Energy.

The muscles, bones, and meridians, which were in unbearable pain, devoured the green hint greedily like hungry beasts, and the tearing pain gradually disappeared.

This filled him with surprise. He never expected that the tender sprout in his consciousness sea would have such a unique effect. Just a hint of green in the Bright Spirit Energy could produce such a remarkable healing effect? Without high-quality medication, those minor internal injuries would take at least two to three days to recover.

But under the treatment of the Bright Spirit Energy with a hint of green, it was fully restored in a short while. This was too miraculous. Chen Mo stared dumbfounded at the small sprout, his eyes full of astonishment.

The small sprout proudly shook its leaves, full of disdain, as if saying, "I'm not a freeloader. You know my value now, right? No more mistreating me. I want the best food and drink..."

Chen Mo suddenly felt a black line on his forehead, his mouth twisted, and he turned away speechlessly.

As the saying goes, "A thousand punches make the body natural." The cultivation of mystical techniques not only relies on insight but also on repeated refinement to become proficient and natural, grasping the true essence.

Without further delay, he continued to practice the move "Vajra Path" while the effect was still fresh.

"Boom~"

Ten days later, with a solemn expression and a serious face, Chen Mo once again unleashed a "Vajra Path." The entire movement was smooth and proficient, exuding a powerful and invincible aura.

This was just the surface. Internally, his qi and blood were also naturally regulated, and when the punch was unleashed, a fierce force erupted. Under the burning of qi and blood, his right arm seemed to thicken, and faint green spirit energy penetrated the fist, creating a transparent ripple in the air that spread out.

Initial mastery!

No, with the help of the extremely yang Bright Spirit Energy, the power of the Vajra Fist was greatly enhanced. A common Vajra Fist had such a high compatibility with the Bright Spirit Energy.

The intense excitement made Chen Mo's heart tremble. In just ten days, he had managed to cultivate the move "Vajra Path" to the point where it exuded a hint of the Vajra's majestic aura, reaching the initial mastery level.

Chen Mo had been practicing for several years, and only after repeated refinement of the defensive move "Ten Thousand Year Green" did he勉强 reach the initial mastery level.

But don't underestimate the initial mastery level. Only by manifesting the essence and intent of the move can one truly enter the gate.

Chen Mo, with the help of the green liquid, continuously refined the move, identifying and correcting various flaws in the force application technique, rapidly improving and refining the move "Vajra Path."

The green liquid was produced by the small sprout. Only by repeatedly nurturing the sprout with Bright Spirit Energy could it recondense the green liquid. Over-extraction would cause the sprout to stop growing or even wither.

In just ten days, reaching the initial mastery level, this cultivation speed was astonishing, even among the Chen Clan. Chen Mo's achievement was not without reason. Even with the strong healing properties of the green liquid from the sprout, allowing repeated refinement of the same move, he had practiced the "Vajra Path" tens of thousands of times in just ten days. This level of monotony, perseverance, and physical and mental endurance was not something ordinary people could achieve.

If not for Chen Mo's determination and perseverance, how could he have managed to do it?

In his excitement, Chen Mo wanted to continue practicing the Vajra Fist while the effect was still fresh. However, he suddenly felt dizzy and weak, and a wave of fatigue swept over his body. He was truly unable to resist the mental exhaustion.

Daring not to practice any more mystical techniques, he cut off another piece of a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, swallowed it, and began to meditate and practice the Great Brightness Divine Technique.

After several hours.

Chen Mo heavily exhaled a breath of turbid air, his eyes suddenly becoming clearer. His entire body was filled with qi, and the Bright Spirit Energy was more condensed and substantial. The white light mist in his meridians was deeper. He felt refreshed, and the deep fatigue from within had vanished without a trace.

It was evident that the hard work in practicing the Vajra Fist was not in vain, as it had tempered his tendons, bones, qi, and blood.

External training of the body and internal strengthening of qi and blood are necessary to progress further in cultivation.

With his energy fully restored, Chen Mo couldn't resist and began practicing the Vajra Fist again. This time, he focused on the remaining moves, refining and training them one by one, aiming for comprehensive improvement.

With the experience and the hint of the essence from the "Vajra Path," his practice was more efficient and progressed rapidly.

When his qi and blood and the green liquid were completely depleted, he continued to meditate and refine his qi, tempering his qi and blood, and nurturing the sprout.

This cycle repeated.

Chen Mo, whose temperament had become more steady and reserved, sat cross-legged, quietly practicing the Great Brightness Divine Technique. Although the Great Brightness Divine Technique was currently only at the lower level of the ordinary grade, it had already shown a hint of its fierce and yang essence, greatly enhancing the power of the Vajra Fist, a technique known for its fierce and direct approach.

After an unknown amount of time, his spirit energy and qi had expanded to the brink, causing his meridians to feel as if they were about to burst. At this moment, a loud sound like an explosion seemed to occur in his mind.

A cool, bone-penetrating energy, like a gushing spring, continuously washed over his body, nurturing his meridians...

In this vast, uninhabited, and silent space.

Suddenly, a clear and long whistle echoed, filled with intense joy and uncontainable excitement.

For three years, he had been regarded as a waste.

Finally, he had broken free from the nightmare, overcoming the constraints, and advanced from the initial stage of Spirit Apprentice to the intermediate stage.

He could feel the abundant spirit energy in his qi sea below his navel. According to the method of the Great Brightness Divine Technique, he slightly circulated the spirit energy, and a strand of Bright Spirit Energy, carrying the aura of the rising sun, instantly flowed through his meridians to his arm.

Chen Mo clenched his fist, the qi energy swelling, and his bones crackled. The punch shot out like an arrow from a bow.

A whistling sound broke the air, and the fist stopped at the end of the extended arm, enveloped in a pale green energy with a hint of white, full of vitality.

"Intermediate Spirit Apprentice!"

Chen Mo discovered that both the quality of his spirit energy and the strength of his bones and flesh were far superior to before. This was not just a quantitative change but a qualitative transformation.

However, the valuable hundred-year-old wild ginseng was also completely consumed in the process.

He spent more days in this silent space, not wasting a single moment, diligently practicing.

When the hundred days were up, the magical space formed by the mystical turtle shattered like fragments. In the next instant, Chen Mo reappeared before the massive mystical turtle.
