Chapter 459: Chapter 459: New Road, Open!

The next second, Lu Xiao mobilized all the superpowers in his meridians.

He then began to refine his meridians from the outside, following the method used by Mutants to condense Mutated Crystals.

Mutants formed Mutated Crystals by refining their organs, but Lu Xiao wanted to refine his meridians!

How difficult was it? Super Max, of course!

Organs are only so big, even if you refined a lung, it was just a chunk.

Meridians were different; they were spread throughout the body.

Lu Xiao didn’t know how long the meridians would be once stretched out, but they were definitely longer than the intestines...

Moreover, compared to organs, meridians were more fragile and could tolerate no mistakes.

If you made a small mistake while refining an organ, you could still mend it and succeed.

If a meridian burst, that was the end of the game.

No chance of becoming a big-shot then, you’d be completely useless.

"I can only refine them segment by segment," Lu Xiao took a deep breath and concentrated more than ever before.

He dared not wrap all the meridians with superpower at once, as any small misstep could be instantly disastrous.

"Energy Conversion, refinement is Energy Conversion, homogenization. First stimulate with superpower, then proceed with interlacing delineation..." Lu Xiao started muttering to himself.

He had long memorized the method of how Mutants refined their viscera to condense Mutated Crystals.

"Sheet, emptied?" About half an hour later, Lu Xiao couldn’t help but start rolling his eyes.

The portion of meridians he had refined was only about one-tenth of the total length, and the consumption was outrageously high.

Especially using superpower to sketch out the energy-converted organs, it was like pouring into a bottomless pit.

"Here we go!" Lu Xiao slightly opened a window, stretched his arm out swiftly, and then whooshed it back in.

Boom!

The originally depleted meridians were instantly filled.

With the experience from the last time, it took Lu Xiao less than an hour to calm the frenzy in his superpower.

After calming down, he continued with the delineation.

...

Daylight gradually brightened, and the red glow quickly faded.

Hearing the morning bells, Lu Xiao also withdrew from the refinement process.

"One-third!" Lu Xiao’s lips slightly curled upward, having refined three segments of meridians overnight.

All were successful!

This one-third of the meridians had completed Energy Conversion by now.

"Let’s give it a try." Lu Xiao squinted his eyes and then frantically mobilized the Inner Qi in the acupoints to re-enter the meridians.

The influx of Inner Qi stayed only in the refined one-third.

Until he had completely drained all five acupoints of Inner Qi, that one-third segment of the meridians remained unfilled.

"This...is kind of thrilling," Lu Xiao couldn’t help but swallow saliva.

The Inner Qi in the five acupoints was roughly the total amount he had before in all his meridians.

But now, that amount of Inner Qi didn’t even fill one-third of the meridians.

"If I could refine them all and then fill up the meridians, geez!" A thrilled smile spread across Lu Xiao’s face.

What Transcendence Realm, what Demi Immortal Realm, piece of cake.

After re-injecting the Inner Qi into the acupoints, Lu Xiao stretched and got up.

He walked out of the room, and it was already broad daylight outside.

In the yard, Xu Ming’s wife was doing the laundry. Seeing Lu Xiao emerging, she immediately stood up somewhat awkwardly.

"Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu, Old Xu went to Mansion Luo earlier and prepared breakfast for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law," Lu Xiao walked up to the table and devoured the meal voraciously.

After eating, Lu Xiao belched contentedly.

Although it was very simple, just some thin porridge and a few pickles, it was delicious.

"Sister-in-law, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."

"Ah? Go ahead, tell me." Xu Ming’s wife wiped her hands.

"I want to buy this house from you."

Hearing Lu Xiao’s words, Ge Li’s eyes widened, and anger even flashed through them.

"Sister-in-law, don’t misunderstand, I think this place is dangerous as it’s close to the woods where Demonized seek refuge."

"Old Xu is usually at Mansion Luo, and he probably worries about you being here alone."

"If you sell this farmhouse to me, then I’ll arrange a house for you in the Inner City," Lu Xiao explained.

Ge Li was completely taken aback.

A house in the Inner City? That would cost a lot of money.

"I... need to discuss it with Old Xu."

"If you discuss it with Brother Xu, he certainly won’t agree, I know his nature," Lu Xiao shrugged.

Ge Li nodded, indeed, Old Xu was very upright and never liked to owe favors to anyone.

"Here’s the thing, I’ll be leaving Xu Hai City soon. Brother Xu was my first friend here, and the only one. I hope you two can have a better and, at least, a safer life," Lu Xiao said as he pulled out a small bag from his pocket and handed it to Ge Li.

Ge Li instinctively opened the bag and peeked inside, where all the shiny Divine Treasures were.

Golden Divine Treasures! Each piece was worth ten thousand Divine Treasures.

There were at least a hundred pieces here, that’s one million Divine Treasures!

"But..."

"Alright sister-in-law, no buts, let’s go into the city now and choose a house."

Lu Xiao decided to buy this place mainly because it was unsafe.

Should a Demonized emerge and mutate, this place would be the first to be affected.

Besides, he also needed a place to closely observe the Demonized, as almost all of them lingered in these woods, and perhaps there might be something special inside.
