Chapter 86

Zhu Guo: According to the records, this can only be considered a medium-grade rare flower or herb. Its effect is to enhance one's power and help break through bottlenecks.

This is exactly what Lin Xiao needs now. Without being polite, Lin Xiao directly stored all nine fully matured fruits into his spatial item, then transplanted the Zhu Guo tree.

The Zhu Guo tree is very small, only about thirty centimeters in size. Lin Xiao didn't have to exert much effort to transplant it into his spatial item.

Holding the nine Zhu Guo fruits in his hand, Lin Xiao smiled foolishly. Each Zhu Guo fruit can help break through one bottleneck, and one can eat up to three in a lifetime.

He took one out and threw it into his mouth. Lin Xiao had been at the peak of the fourth level for a long time without breaking through. Now, with the Zhu Guo fruit, he was eager to advance to the intermediate stage of the fourth level.

The Zhu Guo fruit melted in his mouth, turning into a warm stream that opened up his entire body and pores, making him feel very comfortable.

Once it entered his body, the warm stream turned into a torrent. Lin Xiao used the Basic Body Technique to channel it, impacting the bottleneck.

Once, twice, three times... The solid bottleneck gradually showed a fine crack with the help of the Zhu Guo fruit.

The fourth level of the Basic Body Technique is crucial. As martial arts novels often say, to fully break through from the fourth level to the fifth, one must first unblock the Ren and Du meridians.

Lin Xiao had been trying to unblock the Ren meridian. If he succeeded, he would break through from the initial stage of the fourth level to the intermediate stage.

Each time Lin Xiao tried to unblock the Ren meridian, he would run out of energy. It always seemed like he was just a little short, but in the end, the Ren meridian would still reject him.

This time, with the continuous medicinal power of the Zhu Guo fruit, it helped Lin Xiao impact the Ren meridian, giving him an extra boost and reducing the pressure on him.

"Crack, crack, crack."

Lin Xiao's body made these sounds. The sealed Ren meridian was now full of cracks. With one more push, it could be unblocked. "Boom," Lin Xiao finally unblocked the Ren meridian. With the help of the Zhu Guo fruit, the Basic Body Technique finally overcame this difficult challenge.

Lin Xiao circulated the Yu Energy to consolidate the newly unblocked Ren meridian. Only when the Yu Energy flowed smoothly through the Ren meridian did he open his eyes.

If Lin Xiao's eyes used to be brown, they now looked like the night sky, deep and bright.

A smile appeared on Lin Xiao's lips. He was very happy to have broken through to the intermediate stage of the fourth level.

However, Lin Xiao found it strange that the Basic Body Technique was so similar to ancient internal cultivation techniques.

When Lin Xiao was studying the Basic Body Technique, he didn't notice the small text below it, which explained that the Basic Body Technique originated from ancient Chinese internal cultivation techniques and was later improved.

Only now did Lin Xiao have the time to look around the entire cave. Just one glance, and he was captivated by the beauty of nature.

This uninhabited cave maintained its most primitive appearance, untouched by human development. Some stalactites hung like inverted cones, dripping water.

Lin Xiao had wanted to wash his face, but the two springs were like the nine levels of ice and fire. One was as hot as fire, and the other as cold as ice. Lin Xiao didn't know the reason, but he could only marvel at the wonders of nature.

Compared to the hot spring, Lin Xiao felt that using cold water to wash his face was more invigorating. He cupped the water in his hands and splashed it on his face.

Looking around the cave, Lin Xiao saw a small path in addition to the one he had just come from, unsure if it led outside.

Lin Xiao didn't know whether these paths were man-made or a natural wonder, but it didn't matter to him.

Finding nothing else in the cave, Lin Xiao walked towards the newly discovered path.

Like the previous one, this path was dark and only Lin Xiao's footsteps could be heard. He didn't stop, heading straight for the exit.

...

Lin Xiao stood on the halfway point of a mountain, looking at the clear blue sky. He took a deep breath.

The path had taken over an hour, and Lin Xiao was almost driven mad. He almost gave up several times, but the thought of the return journey made him hesitant, so he continued forward.

After descending the mountain, Lin Xiao saw a small town. Not knowing his current location, he could only find a hotel to stay in.

With his dirty clothes and dusty face, he was almost mistaken for a beggar at the hotel.

Once in his room, the first thing he did was take a shower and shave. After tidying up, Lin Xiao looked completely different in the mirror.

His clear face and well-proportioned features, combined with his bright and deep eyes, made him look much better.

Now, anyone who saw Lin Xiao would first notice his bright eyes, which were the most significant change after his breakthrough.

He went downstairs and found a receptionist. Lin Xiao approached and asked, "Hello, could you tell me where I am?"

"Huh?" The receptionist was puzzled by Lin Xiao's question.

Seeing the receptionist's confusion, Lin Xiao explained, "I mean, where is this place? I got lost in the mountains and ended up here. I just want to know where I am."

The receptionist finally understood and said, "This is XX County, in Gansu Province."

"Thank you." Lin Xiao thanked her and turned to leave.

'What is this? Did the golden eagle carry me so far that I ended up in Gansu? How can this be?' Lin Xiao thought.

Back in his room, Lin Xiao went online to check the route back. He needed to take a bus to Lanzhou and then fly directly to H City.

The next morning, Lin Xiao took the bus to Lanzhou. A few hours later, he arrived at the airport in H City.

He took a taxi directly to the hotel where he had parked his car, retrieved it, and drove home. By the time the sun set, Lin Xiao had returned to his house.

He took out his phone from his spatial item and opened the door. Returning to his long-absent home, Lin Xiao immediately released the raccoon and the purple-golden mastiff from his spatial item.

He lay on the comfortable sofa, staring at the TV, lost in thought. The raccoon and the purple-golden mastiff were running around, having been cooped up in the spatial item for too long.
