Chapter 422: Chapter 422: Vein-breaking Golden Pill! (2 updates)

Two hours later.

After arduous refining, Yan Cangtian slowly lifted the lid of the pill furnace to reveal nine round golden elixirs emitting a rich fragrance, refreshing to the core.

"With ten sets of ingredients, I was able to successfully refine nine Vein-breaking Golden Pills. To achieve a 90% success rate with this top-grade ancient elixir," he marveled, "if those old monsters at the Alchemy Master Guild saw this, there’d be no need for any assessments!"

Yan Cangtian looked at the nine elixirs inside the pill furnace with complete satisfaction.

Though one batch of materials was wasted, a success rate of 90% was already astounding.

Had he been refining alone, he wouldn’t even dare to guarantee a 60% success rate.

"It’s a shame that one was ruined," Ling Feng lamented internally over the precious ingredients, especially the Ten Thousand Evil Poison Fruit.

After all, while other ingredients were relatively easy to obtain, every bit of the Ten Thousand Evil Poison Fruit that was cut away meant that much less remained, making it almost impossible to obtain a second one.

"This is already quite impressive," Yan Cangtian collected the elixirs one by one, placed them into a jade box, and casually handed it to Ling Feng, sighing, "In just a few months, your cultivation of the ’Skyfire Avenue Technique’ has reached such a level. It won’t be long before your alchemy prowess leaves me far behind."

"Elder Yan is too kind," Ling Feng accepted the box of elixirs, and inhaling the strong fragrance, he almost drooled.

The Vein-breaking Golden Pill, as the name suggests, is an elixir used to directly open meridian gates.

Normally, one pill would certainly open a meridian gate, and with some luck, it might even open three to five.

Ling Feng’s number of meridians had stalled at thirty-five for a while. Since last using the Dragon Blood Zhu Fruit to break through the "Heavenly Barrier" for the first time, and reaching thirty-five meridians, his progress had slowed again.

Even with daily consumption of the Purple Luo Spirit Liquid and the Swallowing, Absorption, Exhaling power of the Human Dao Eye, his progress was still sluggish.

Of course, this was in comparison to his previous cultivation speed. If compared with ordinary people, who would be grateful to open a single meridian in several months, Ling Feng’s pace of opening several meridians a month, or even a dozen, was frighteningly fast.

"Your ambition must be to open a hundred meridians!" Yan Cangtian observed Ling Feng, who had joined the Heavenly Position Academy with only two or three meridians but had expanded to thirty-five in just over three months. Without relying on any external connections, he could potentially be promoted directly to A-class Disciple in the biannual promotion assessments.

"With the Ten Thousand Evil Poison Fruit, I could give it a try," Ling Feng responded with a light smile. In the Imperial City, monsters abound, especially Yaan Jinghong. Although younger than him, he had started earlier and had already reached the level of the Divine Origin Realm.

Just the fact that he could effortlessly eliminate Demon Monarch-level powerhouses was enough to demonstrate how terrifyingly strong he was.

Having started later, to surpass him, Ling Feng knew his every step had to be exceedingly solid.

Breaking the Hundred Meridian Limit was the first step!

"If it were anyone else, I wouldn’t believe such words, but you, Kiddo, might just have a slight possibility," Yan Cangtian patted Ling Feng’s shoulder and laughed heartily, "Alright, take a moment to regulate your breath, and then you can ingest the first Vein-breaking Golden Pill."

"Mm." Ling Feng nodded, strode outside to the courtyard, and found a relatively spacious spot to sit cross-legged.

Activating the "Xuanyuan True Technique," he cycled it through forty-nine circuits. Ling Feng felt his spirit reach a peak state and finally took out the first Vein-breaking Golden Pill, swallowing it.

Boom!

In an instant, his abdomen felt like millions of tons of explosives had detonated simultaneously.

Even with numerous precious ingredients mixed to temper it, the overpowering potency of the Ten Thousand Evil Poison Fruit was still nearly unbearable.

Especially Ling Feng’s realm, which was only at the Magnetic Condensation Realm.

"Ugh!"

Ling Feng couldn’t help but groan, veins instantly protruded on his forehead, and sweat poured down his back, soaking his clothes in an instant.

That violent strength crashed wildly through his limbs and bones, and Ling Feng’s already incredibly tough sinews ached as if they were about to break one by one.

Ling Feng knew this was the power of the Vein-breaking Golden Pill refining his meridians, and once the strength stabilized, it would open new meridian gates at the energy gathering points.

The entire process was undoubtedly extremely painful.

Last time when he used the Ten Thousand Evil Poison Fruit to treat Lin Xian’er’s injuries, Ling Feng only dared to let her take a sip, worrying that Lin Xian’er might explode and die. This time, it was only a little bit of the fruit flesh, but the energy contained within was unimaginable.

Ling Feng clenched his teeth tightly, his body started to tremble slightly, his face swelled to a deep red, and bursts of white vapor occasionally rose from the top of his head.

Another seven and a half minutes passed, Ling Feng’s pores began to seep black bloodstains, which were the impurities and toxins in his body, all forced out by the power of the Ten Thousand Evil Poison Fruit.

"This lad can really endure!"

Yan Cangtian was stunned by the sight. In fact, if Ling Feng wanted, he could just refine a part of the medicine power to open two or three meridian gates, so he wouldn’t need to endure such immense pain. However, Ling Feng insisted on not wasting a bit of medicine power and retained all of it to circulate repeatedly inside his body, trying to wear down that domineering strength.

He knew very well that the first Vein-breaking Golden Pill could potentially bring out his greatest potential. Later on, his body would gradually develop a resistance to the medicine, and it would be hard to say how many meridian gates could be opened at once.

Thus, he was literally battling with his life, willing to endure any amount of pain to completely refine this Vein-breaking Golden Pill.

What he didn’t know was that the pain when the first Qi Refining Mixed Element Lock was implanted by the Sky White Emperor Dharma Form was almost unbearable.

Compared to that, the pain of his sinews bursting seemed minor.

An hour passed!

Two hours passed!

Ling Feng had almost turned into a blood-man, but his eyes became increasingly bright.

"Roar!"

Finally, a high-pitched roar burst from Ling Feng’s mouth, and then, Ling Feng’s momentum began to climb steadily!

One meridian gate!

Two meridian gates!

Three meridian gates!

...

A total of ten meridian gates burst open almost instantly. Accompanied by a tearing sound, Ling Feng’s blood-stained robe was shattered by the violent Qi Force, turning into butterfly-like pieces that scattered with the wind.

The bloodstains on his body were also dispersed by the Qi Force, revealing skin that seemed newborn beneath, even glowing with a translucent, jade-like radiance.

The first time he consumed the Vein-breaking Golden Pill, Ling Feng refined the medicine power to the utmost, miraculously opening ten meridian gates in one go, and overnight, he advanced to the level of forty-five meridians.
