Chapter 88

(Just made a mistake, this is the new week, please recommend~)

......

Without a moment's hesitation, he leaped forward and steadied the tripod's ear.

With his divine sense enveloping the fledgling pill, the bright mystic qi slowly merged into the flames within the tripod. The fledgling pill, like a machine with its power fully supplied, rapidly increased its rotational speed.

Seeing Chen默's divine sense assisting, Mu Lingwei straightened her body, and the white mystic qi around her increased significantly. She was inwardly astonished, never expecting his divine sense to be so pure and profound, able to skillfully coordinate with her.

It was truly unprecedented and unheard of.

"Whoosh, whoosh..." A fist-sized fledgling pill condensed in a few breaths, gradually shrinking.

"Whoosh," like defying the wind, a golden light suddenly appeared.

"Retrieve!" Sensing with divine sense, both of them simultaneously withdrew and took two steps back.

Her two slender fingers joined, and a thread of mystic qi emerged from Mu Lingwei's fingertips, lightly touching the milky white tripod. A bowl-sized petal lid floated up, and a golden pill, shimmering with a golden glow, floated out. It was round and translucent, with star-point inscriptions carved on it, and heat waves surged around it, indicating its extraordinary quality.

"Hehe, the Yi Jing Pill." Chen默 blurted out, his dry lips cracking, and wrinkles appeared on his face. His joy was hard to hide, showing on his face, which was rather abrupt.

"It's even a small supreme Yi Jing Pill." Mu Lingwei's lively eyes were filled with surprise.

"Master, you've worked hard, please have some tea." Seeing her drenched in sweat, Chen默 hurriedly ran to brew tea and pour water, and casually took a fan to serve her obediently.

Mu Lingwei, a high-level innate expert, had exhausted her mystic qi in refining the pill. She accepted her disciple's attentive service with a clear conscience.

Sipping the fragrant tea and calming her mind, she looked at Chen默 with surprise. This disciple of hers was truly mysterious and unpredictable. She never expected him to be able to assist through divine sense. Normally, when others refined pills, even they couldn't assist themselves. The amount of mystic qi and divine sense a pharmacist had was entirely controlled by themselves. The fact that he could integrate into the refining process without causing destruction, and even achieve a small supreme quality, showed how sharp his divine sense was.

Seeing Chen默's eager scene of serving tea and water, her thin lips curled up, revealing a smile. She couldn't help but think to herself, "It seems I underestimated this kid, a mysterious one."

However, the more outstanding a disciple, the more satisfied she was. As for the secrets he held, she wouldn't pry.

Everyone has their own destiny.

Speaking of the fifth-grade Yi Jing Pill, after its formation, its quality was unexpectedly extraordinary, reaching the small supreme level. This greatly exceeded his expectations. Although the previous two failures cost him a lot, just this one small supreme fifth-grade Yi Jing Pill would fetch at least 700,000 to 800,000 gold coins in the market. If he sold it...

Chen默 immediately dismissed such thoughts; taking the pill to refine his body was the right path.

......

A few days later.

Outside the Changchun Valley, the Canglan River flowed ceaselessly.

The Canglan River was vast, with emerald waves stretching for thousands of miles, from the ten-thousand-year-old snow mountain in the north to the boundless sea in the east. A section of it flowed through the Changchun Valley, with swift currents, known as the Bosha Mouth.

The upstream of the Bosha Mouth was several hundred feet wide, shaped like an hourglass. The water flowed to the mouth, instantly becoming narrow, only about ten feet wide, like an inverted waterfall. Afterward, the water surface quickly widened again.

Therefore, the water flow here was extremely turbulent. Even a thousand-pound boulder would be shattered by the sudden increase in pressure. But at this moment, someone was submerged at the bottom of the Bosha Mouth, holding onto the crevices of the rocks on both sides, focusing and remaining still.

This person was Chen默, who was here to forge his body.

He did this because a few days ago, when Mu Lingwei handed him the pill, she had warned him, "The Yi Jing Pill has immense power, and a stronger body is needed to withstand it." For this reason, he came here to forge his body, to enhance his physical strength by resisting the impact of the Bosha Mouth.

Initially, even the blunt-mouthed small fish would leave him bloodied and bruised. He then relied on the green liquid and the Bright Mystic Qi to repair the damage. Breaking and rebuilding, over and over, he could continuously strengthen himself.

At that moment, a sharp-mouthed small fish rapidly charged at him, colliding with his back and turning into a stream of blood, but the light on his back remained, with just a white spot added.

This indicated that he had completed the initial goal.

He released the rocks he was holding, and like an arrow, he shot forward, plummeting like a meteor into the next target—the Thousand-Fathom Lake.

The Thousand-Fathom Lake, as its name suggests, was not a thousand fathoms deep, but it was deep and bottomless.

The water pressure was immense.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Chen默 dived straight to the bottom of the lake. As the surrounding water color deepened, the pain in his ears intensified, and the strong water pressure made him feel as if he were carrying a thousand pounds.

But he knew that only in such a harsh environment could the effects of the Yi Jing Pill be fully realized, without wasting any of its power, thus better refining his body.

This small supreme Yi Jing Pill was hard to come by and embodied his desire to become stronger. He could not waste it easily.

After slightly adapting to the environment, he swallowed the Yi Jing Pill and the water, then closed his eyes to feel.

Instantly, the immense power of the pill rapidly spread. In a short while, Chen默's meridians were swollen and about to burst, and his muscles became knotted, as if his body contained a destructive explosive force.

He felt the power of the pill surge like a mudslide, tearing through his meridians, causing pain that spread throughout his body, and many parts began to spasm and twitch.

If not for the intense pressure underwater, Chen默 would have almost roared.

This indicated that the power of the pill had spread throughout his body. He did not dare to be negligent and quickly began to practice the body-refining technique of the Golden Bell Shield.

The Golden Bell Shield was a lower-grade spirit-level defensive mystic technique. Once successfully cultivated, it would make his physical body extremely tough from the outside in. When the technique was activated, mystic qi would be released to form a protective shield covering his entire body.

When practiced to the highest level, a crystalline membrane would grow on the surface of his body, making his physical defense far superior to that of other martial artists of the same level.

This was why he was willing to spend all his wealth to refine such a pill.

Once the Golden Bell Shield was activated, he felt his body become much harder and stronger. If his original body was like hard soil, now it was like solid rock.

But this was just the beginning. If he absorbed all the power of the pill, he might be able to withstand a先天 strike without dying.

If the previous changes brought him comfort, the prospect of what was to come filled him with excitement, and his lips naturally curled upward.

But before his smile could fully form, a sense of unease made his heart sink. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a point of light rapidly approaching in the darkness.

Just a glance revealed a huge, strange fish he had never seen before, with a lantern-like glowing flesh ball on its head.

Seeing its speed, it was already in front of him in an instant. It opened its mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs, ready to bite off his head.

His heart clenched. If it bit him, he would surely die!

Chen默's pupils constricted, and he immediately raised his arms to block the fish's upper jaw, preventing it from moving any further.

Then, using its lower jaw, he performed a Thunder Flash, pushing himself down and darting away.

At the same time, the strange fish bit down, diving down. But it was cunning, and upon realizing it had missed, it quickly swept its tail toward Chen默.

Chen默's reaction was not slow. He activated his mystic qi and punched.

A spiral of water surged in the water, and electric currents spread.

Thunder Cannon!

In the water, a muffled explosion sounded. He felt as if he had hit tofu, and the fish's tail broke and exploded, blood spreading.

The strange fish, in pain, suddenly turned, folding its body in an impossible way, almost touching its head to its tail, and bit at Chen默.

Chen默, unable to dodge in time, hastily grabbed the flesh ball on the fish's head.

The fish suddenly stopped, and Chen默 thought it was a weak point, but unexpectedly, the flesh ball burst with intense lightning.

The lightning was extremely fierce, instantly paralyzing him, making him unable to move. If he hadn't comprehended the Great Desolate Thunder Path, which gave him great immunity to lightning, this would have been fatal.

At that moment, the strange fish suddenly threw Chen默 away, opened its massive mouth, and bit down, swallowing his upper body.

The pungent smell of blood and flesh filled his nose and ears.

Was this the end? Chen默's heart turned cold.

At that moment, a sound like shattering glass echoed within his body, and mystic qi surged from his dantian, rushing into his meridians, forming a special pattern that connected.

This didn't stop. The pattern grew around his body, and a pale golden mystic qi burst out, instantly forming a transparent shield, like a golden bell, that was both real and illusory. At the same time, his body warmed, and he regained all his senses.

Golden Bell Shield!

Chen默 looked up, his heart racing. He saw the strange fish's teeth about to bite down, just half an inch from his head, but they hit the Golden Bell Shield, causing ripples but unable to penetrate.

Overwhelmed with joy and surprise, pure mystic qi surged from his dantian, rushing to his arms, transforming into lightning snakes that shot into his fists.

Adamantine Demon Subduing!

He thrust his fists, like hammers, smashing through the fish's head, creating a large hole. Blood and brain matter mixed, turning into a thick, bloody paste.

Chen默 swam to the surface, his body bursting out of the lake, creating a huge water dragon, and landed on the shore.

His naked body displayed a perfect, streamlined form, with every muscle full of elasticity and explosive power. Slightly tensing, his body became as hard as stone, showing a deep bronze color, and a hum like a bell resonated.

This was clearly the state described in the Golden Bell Shield manual, indicating the initial success of body refinement.

A single Yi Jing Pill had helped Chen默 reach this level, filling him with excitement. The full power of the Golden Bell Shield could likely withstand a full-strength attack from a先天 expert.
