Chapter 55: Breakthrough
"Ling Chen, are you healed?"
When Ling Chen was studying the Tianfu heavy sword, a beautiful figure walked over to the side. It was Xu Ruoyan.
"about there."
Ling Chen put away the Tianfu Heavy Sword, nodded, and then looked at Xu Ruoyan with some gratitude, "Thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I would have died in the hunting ground."
"Well, you still think it's too much trouble for me to follow you? In the end, I still have to take action at the critical moment."
Xu Ruoyan folded her hands across her chest, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"You're still in the mood to joke at this time."
Ling Chen just smiled, and then moved his eyes away from Xu Ruoyan, and said lightly: "You can see that danger may come to me at any time, so you'd better stay away from me in the future, so as not to get into trouble."
Hearing this, Xu Ruoyan's pretty face also changed color, and she was obviously angry, "Do you think I am willing to follow you? This time I rescued you, it was just a matter of convenience. Remember, you owe me a favor, and you must pay it back."
"I'll keep that in mind."
Ling Chen nodded, "It's just that I don't have the ability to repay your favor . When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."
"It's easy to repay my favor. Just promise me one thing."
Xu Ruoyan sneered. Originally, she had no intention of asking Ling Chen to repay her favor, but now, she changed her mind.
"What's the matter?" Ling Chen asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet, but you just remember it. I'll tell you when I've thought about it." Xu Ruoyan flicked her sleeves, then turned and left the courtyard.
Ling Chen sighed, it was not because he had no feelings for Xu Ruoyan, but because he had too much on his shoulders. Romance was doomed to be out of reach for him. He had to keep his distance from Xu Ruoyan so as not to implicate her.
As for feelings, as soon as they have the slightest bud, he will cut them off completely and will never let them take root and sprout, harming others and himself.
After thinking about it, Ling Chen also drew out the Tianfu heavy sword and continued to practice his swordsmanship in this courtyard.
…
Three more days passed like this.
Ling Chen's injuries have basically healed, and now he finally has the energy to break through.
Sitting cross-legged on the clean and wide wooden bed, Ling Chen sat in the middle with his clothes on, with steam rising from his head.
Originally, according to Ling Chen's estimation, it would take at least a month to break through to the martial artist realm. Unexpectedly, the desperate battle last time allowed him to reach the peak of the ninth level, and his true energy became extremely condensed. More importantly, the nine true energy rings in his dantian had already condensed a true energy virtual pill once with the blessing of the ancient saint king's fighting method. Now, it should not be too difficult to condense a virtual pill again.
This kind of opportunity is rare, and Ling Chen doesn't want to miss it, so as soon as he returns to his room, he immediately clears away distracting thoughts and strives to break through the bottleneck.
As the true qi continued to circulate and compress, the true qi in Ling Chen's Dantian was gradually compressed into a liquid, from a few strands before to a streamer later, clearly distinguished from the previous gaseous true qi.
Two hours later, the screen window in Ling Chen's room began to tremble and make snapping sounds, as if it was being blown by a strong wind and could not control itself.
Swish!
Suddenly, Ling Chen opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his eyes, "You can use the Void Spirit Pill now."
With a flip of his palm, a translucent pill filled with a rich fragrance and emitting a faint green color appeared, emitting extremely strong fluctuations.
In order to condense the Void Pill, one needs to first liquefy the Qi in the Dantian, creating conditions for the nine Qi rings to merge into one, and then form the Void Spirit Pill. The function of the Void Spirit Pill lies in the last step, which is the step of condensing the Void into a Pill, and it is also the most critical step.
Now all the steps have been prepared. If you want to condense the void into a pill, you must first combine the nine rings into one.
Holding the Xu Ling Pill, Ling Chen took a deep breath, and then without hesitation, he stuffed it into his mouth.
As the Xu Ling Pill entered his body, Ling Chen's body boiled almost instantly. The surging medicinal power spread out crazily, and even his skin swelled up, with goose bumps all over it.
Waves of surging roars came from his body. This was the collision of medicinal power and energy. Fortunately, after this period of training, Ling Chen's physique had become quite strong, which enabled him to withstand the impact of the medicinal power.
“Squeak…”
Ling Chen's face was tense. His body was like a furnace. As soon as the Void Spirit Pill entered his body, it quickly rushed into his Dantian. As the medicinal power of the Void Spirit Pill entered his body, the originally quiet Dantian was also turbulent in an instant...
Feeling the volcanic eruption-like movement when the true Qi and the medicinal power came into contact, Ling Chen's expression became more and more solemn. He was practicing the Lingtian Sword Scripture, which was different from ordinary martial arts. The difficulty of improving his realm was not something that ordinary people could compare with.
“Puff!”
The movement in Dantian became louder and louder. After about ten minutes, Ling Chen's face finally turned red and he couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood.
The explosion of the drug's power was undoubtedly much more intense than Ling Chen had imagined.
"Condensate for me!"
Ling Chen clenched his teeth. At this moment, the nine Qi rings in his Dantian had quickly condensed into one, wrapped in a ball of green light, emitting a strange glow.
A translucent virtual pill was quickly condensed in Ling Chen's Dantian, from the size of a fist to the size of an egg.
At this moment, in the room, an invisible air current was hanging upside down in a funnel shape with Ling Chen as the center. All the lighter objects rose up and floated in the air, forming a strange scene.
“Success!”
The surging breath in the Dantian calmed down, and the virtual pill in the center of the Dantian also gradually stabilized.
Buzz!
Strange waves spread from Ling Chen's Dantian, and the floating objects immediately fell down again, and chaotic sounds continued.
"I have finally reached the level of a martial artist."
With a smile on his face, Ling Chen pointed forward, and a wisp of true energy shot out from his fingertips, running wild in the void.
This is the power of the martial artist realm.
The release of true Qi is a sign of advancement to the level of martial artist.
Although Ling Chen had been able to produce outward sword energy by relying on the second level of Lingtian Sword Scripture, in order to produce outward palm force and outward finger strength, he still needed to reach the first level of martial artist.
Moreover, after breaking through to the martial artist realm, the amount of true qi one possesses can be increased several times, and the purity of the true qi will also be greatly improved.
This breakthrough, after all, was not too unexpected to Ling Chen. His previous cultivation was at the peak of the ninth level, and he had been accumulating experience below the martial artist level for some time. With the help of the Void Spirit Pill, it was not surprising that he broke through the realm in one fell swoop.
