Chapter 213: I Can Still Hold On (Seeking Subscription Support)
In the blink of an eye.
A few more days had passed.
Li Jingjun had already been discharged from the hospital the day after Xu Lingjun visited her...
After all, it was just her hand that was injured, and besides making daily activities like bathing somewhat inconvenient, it wasn't a big deal.
After all, meals were all solved in the cafeteria.
And on this day.
Xu Lingjun took out the bottle of high-grade Spirit Tempering Liquid that had undergone Talent Source previously.
It was very expensive, costing Xu Lingjun nearly 200 academic credits and 70 points of Source Value...
According to Xu Lingjun's estimation, if he had purchased a low-grade Spirit Tempering Liquid instead of the high-grade one, it would have taken at least two hundred points of Source Value to perform Talent Source on it.
This shows just how precious it is.
Spirit Tempering Liquid is effective in tempering True Qi, with remarkable effects for martial artists in the True Transformation Realm.
The perfect Spirit Tempering Liquid's powerful effect is beyond everyone's imagination.
At the very least, it can help a martial artist break through a level...
To be cautious, Xu Lingjun waited for more than ten days, until his cultivation had touched the peak of the True Transformation Realm, before deciding to take this Spirit Liquid.
This way, breaking through to the Huichuan Realm would be more stable.
During these days, he had been comprehending the martial arts set recommended to him by Liu Zhiyuan.
He was right; this martial skill is indeed very suitable for him.
It has no name...
Because the most difficult part of this martial skill hasn't been solved yet, it can't even be considered a complete martial skill.
But this was exactly to Xu Lingjun's liking.
Because as Liu Zhiyuan said, this martial skill was tailored for him... Xu Lingjun was sure that when he came here last time, Liu Zhiyuan must have wanted to recommend this technique to him.
But out of fear of harming him, he opted for the next best thing by recommending the "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation," and after witnessing Xu Lingjun using the "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation" with his arm without sustaining any damage...
He then dared to exchange this martial skill to him.
[Detecting ultimate level incomplete martial skill "Nameless Force," do you want to grant it a true origin? It requires 1200 points of Source Value!]
Nameless, incomplete.
Yet its power is immense, and the intricacy of its moves is secondary; the terrifying part is its Technique for True Qi circulation, where the True Qi within the body is simultaneously reversed and regular routed, then burst out from the meridians in one move.
Although it's a single move, it contains two completely different and opposite Qi Forces... Before, Zuo Bufan was clearly good at neutralizing an opponent's True Qi, but Xu Lingjun's True Qi purity was so high that Zuo Bufan couldn't neutralize it.
But if Xu Lingjun mastered this Nameless Force, even without using the "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation" to purify his True Qi and only using his own True Qi, it would still be impossible to neutralize... or if he neutralized the forward force, he couldn't get rid of the reverse force, neutralized the reverse force, and couldn't neutralize the forward force.
In a sense, this martial skill is the nemesis of all force-dissipating techniques, forcing the enemy to dodge or confront directly, leaving no room for trickery!
If "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation" maximizes the purity of one's True Qi to enhance destructive power, then this Nameless Force alters the operation of the existing purity of True Qi to unleash the most potent burst.
However, simultaneously reversing and regular routing True Qi in one move combines two completely different and even opposite Qi Forces, putting immense pressure on the body which even Liu Zhiyuan found challenging to bear...
Though, part of the reason is his True Essence is simply too powerful.
However, this move inflicting significant harm on the enemy inflicts damage on one's own meridians, and using it too often might result in severed meridians leading to death.
Very terrifying destructive power.
Xu Lingjun fell in love with it at first sight and didn't hesitate to exchange for this martial skill.
It should be noted that... to some extent, this martial skill is a perfect match with "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation."
First use "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation" to enhance the True Qi level, then use the Nameless Force to unleash it.
Besides being somewhat taxing on the hands, perhaps there are no other drawbacks.
Before granting it Talent Source, Xu Lingjun attempted...
Even with the current toughness of his meridians, forcibly controlling True Qi that rivals True Essence within him in reckless and irresponsible ways was somewhat unbearable.
But after spending 1200 points of Source Value without hesitation to grant this martial skill Talent Source.
After completion, the martial skill's operation Technique greatly altered, remarkably reducing the damage to the meridians.
As a result, Xu Lingjun could exhibit it three times a day at most, and then his arm would be rendered useless.
At least one day of recovery is needed to return to normal.
Xu Lingjun despairingly discovered that to freely wield this martial skill, he would have to at least break through to the Huichuan Realm, pushing the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" to the 4th Floor.
As for perfect mastery, don't even think about it before entering the Dongxuan stage.
This martial skill was too much for Liu Zhiyuan... moreover, according to him, this martial skill is only suitable for use below the Dongxuan stage; once reaching the Guiyuan Realm, as True Qi transforms into True Essence, this martial skill would have to be set aside.
Otherwise, the destructive power of True Essence would shred the user's body into fragments.
By now, Xu Lingjun had understood.
The "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique," while a Body Refining Technique, is a God Demon Level Technique, inherently possessing extremely wondrous superpowers... yet these unique abilities must gradually manifest as cultivation improves step by step.
If break through to the 4th Floor, this technique would undoubtedly be further developed more thoroughly.
At that time, new superpowers are destined to emerge.
Breakthrough is now a certainty.
Can't wait any longer.
Upon learning that Xu Lingjun was about to break through to the Huichuan Realm, Gu Xi was even more excited than him.
Excitedly and repeatedly asked if there was anything he still needed, promising that she wouldn't hesitate as long as she could produce it.
Xu Lingjun sensed that if he said it required Yin Yang Replenishment to break through, Gu Xi might immediately and without hesitation lay on the bed for him to do as he pleased, perhaps even taking the initiative.
To her, Xu Lingjun was not polite, saying directly, "Help me buy ten boxes... no, twenty boxes of Blood Replenishing Oral Liquid, the Hao Taitai brand, as its effect is slightly more genuine."
Other brands require 50 Source Value to grant Talent Source, but only Hao Taitai Oral Liquid requires 48 points.
Save a bit where possible.
Gu Xi was bewildered for a while, then responded with an "oh" and went to buy it, silently complaining in her mind if this kid wasn't lying to her before?
He really is cultivating by drinking Blood Replenishing Oral Liquid?
When she returned.
Xu Lingjun was fully prepared.
A bottle of high-grade Spirit Tempering Liquid, a full twenty boxes of Blood Replenishing Oral Liquid.
There was also the perfect level Spirit Blood Potion reserved as a backup.
Breaking through True Qi requires Spirit Tempering Liquid, but the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" needs lots of Blood Qi as fuel.
To ensure infallibility, everything must move forward concertedly.
He instructed Gu Xi to guard outside and not let anyone disturb him, and then he tilted his head back and drank the Spirit Tempering Liquid.
The perfect level Spirit Tempering Liquid.
As soon as it entered his throat, it was like a pot of boiling oil poured into a pool of water.
In an instant, the most intense reaction exploded.
Xu Lingjun could clearly feel as if dozens of little people inside him were carrying explosive packs playing demolition... for ordinary people, just this initial effect would be enough to make them vomit blood.
The effect of the Spirit Tempering Liquid is excellent, but the word "tempering" indicates the process isn't gentle, and the better the Liquid's effect, the greater the suffering to endure.
Xu Lingjun didn't care.
After all, it didn't hurt much, he simply focused on observing the changes within him, watching his True Qi erupt within, like a motorcycle filled with 198# gasoline, start spinning at a frenzied pace, this process making him feel slightly uncomfortable.
But it was just discomfort, after all, making him suffer would require it to be at least twenty times more intense.
Looks like it's time to add some more material.
He granted Talent Source to a box of Oral Liquid, then picked up a bottle, tilting his head back to drink it.
The Oral Liquid turned into concentrated Blood Qi upon entry, merging with the True Qi, the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" operated faster, able to complete a circulation in mere breaths.
And with each circulation, the amount of True Qi would decrease.
Compressed more and more.
It could break through now.
Xu Lingjun knew that if he wished, he could now break through.
But he didn't.
Gu Xi had reminded him many times before that the True Transformation Realm is the process of True Qi purification.
Other realms grow more and more, but only the True Transformation Realm retains the least True Qi as the final result.
The less refined, the higher the purity, and the stronger the destructive power, recovery ability, and so on in all respects.
So the gap in the True Transformation Realm might never be made up in a lifetime.
He was far from reaching his limit.
So continue compressing.
He drank another bottle of Oral Liquid.
And continued to focus on compression...
No problem, I can still hold on.
