Chapter 53: The Fourth-Grade Warrior (First Part)
"Today is New Year's Eve, wishing brothers a happy new year, congratulations on getting rich, a happy family, and good health."
"You said you wanted to eat Guan Ding Dan." Lu Shaoyou asked, and had a connection with Xiao Long, as if he knew what Xiao Long was thinking in his heart.
"Heh heh." The little dragon nodded slightly, wagging its tail, smelling the fragrance of medicine, and its eyes were fixed tightly on that one Dan.
"You look hungry too, if you can eat, then eat." To Xiaolong, Lu Shaoyou was like his own family, and he didn't mind giving him a Dan of top-grade medicine.
"Hiss!" The little dragon nodded, and in an instant, it opened its mouth and swallowed the Dan into its mouth. The small head was originally about the same size as the Dan, but this mouth easily swallowed the Dan, and then quickly retreated back into Lu Shaoyou's sleeve and disappeared.
Lu Shao Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. As the Little Dragon was a Spiritual Beast, it might also gain some benefits from eating this Crown Top Pill. Now one Crown Top Pill wasn't anything to him either.
"There are still ten more Yuanyuan Dan." He put away the 108 top-grade elixirs on his body and placed them in several jade bottles that had been prepared long ago. Originally, there were 108 of them, but after Xiaolong took one, there were only 107 left. Then, he began to continue refining the Yuanyuan Dan.
After being ambushed in the back mountain last time, Lu Shaoyou had been remembering that he must quickly improve his strength, otherwise there would be no sense of security, and last time he almost died.
Only when one's strength is strong can they guarantee their own safety. To increase strength, one must constantly take medicinal pellets.
Lu Shao continued to refine the elixir, after adjusting his breath, he formed a hand seal and infused spiritual energy into the Fire Dragon Cauldron, flames suddenly spreading out.
The materials for refining the Yuanyuan Dan were under Lu Shaoyou's control, and he began to put them in one by one. This Yuanyuan Dan was a second-grade elixir, so Lu Shaoyou dared not to be careless and devoted himself completely to the refinement.
This Huayuan Dan has already been successfully refined twice, and Lu Shaoyou has gained some experience in refining it. Compared to the first time he refined the Guanding Dan, the pressure is much greater this time.
Time slowly passed again, and in these days of refining the elixir, Lu Shao had no idea about anything outside, his heart was completely focused on alchemy.
The Lu family has recently experienced a major event. Luo Lan was finally recognized by the Lu family and became the second wife of the Lu family, with no distinction between her and the first wife. This matter left many servants in awe, as the first wife did not come out to oppose it, which is not in line with her character.
There were also good servants who guessed that this young master was a third-generation martial artist, the top talent among martial artists. Just this one point, the mother relies on the son's nobility, and even if the madam opposes it, it would be useless.
But anyway, Roland has become the object of envy for all the servants. After all, he has gone through hardships and finally achieved success. These years, he has endured a lot of suffering and humiliation, but in the end, he has made it out on top, unlike them, who will never be able to make it out on top their whole lives.
Rather than envying Luo Lan, many servants are more realistic and envy Lu Xiao Bai. He became a warrior for no reason and has a close relationship with Master Shaoyou. His future is already bright, with limitless prospects.
"Bang!" Three days later, the Fire Dragon Furnace opened, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out. A pellet of medicine shot out of the furnace, which was exactly the Yuan-increasing Pellet refined by Lu Shao-yu.
On top of the elixir, a faint glow lingered, the fragrance enticing people. Lu Shao's handprint condensed in his palm, and a yellowish light enveloped the Xuan Yuan Dan as he took it back into his hand. Only then did the faint glow on top of the elixir disappear and fade away.
"It's finally done." Lu Shaoyou's face was pale, his spiritual energy almost depleted. After three days of time, he had finally refined ten Yuanyuan Dans.
Looking at the ten Yuanyuan Dan in his hand, Lu Shaoyou revealed a hint of a smile. He didn't know how much this Yuanyuan Dan could help him break through to the next level of power, but he urgently needed to increase his strength now.
"Take another pill before you go out." Lu Shaoyou said lightly, and immediately threw the Replenishing Yuan Pill into his mouth. The pill entered his abdomen and instantly transformed into a shocking energy.
Lu Shao's journey even felt that this amazing, enormous energy was surging up within his body, hastily urging the Yin Yang Spiritual Martial Formula to start refining.
A surge of energy was instantly refined by Lu Shao's cultivation, transforming into a pure and true Qi. At the same time, the spiritual energy in his mind was also increasing, but it was still comparable to before. Although this Enhancing Yuan Dan could simultaneously enhance spiritual power, compared to the enhanced true Qi, it was much weaker. This Enhancing Yuan Dan only relatively enhanced spiritual power.
After a moment, Lu Shaoyou's entire body was enveloped in a pale yellow glow, surrounded by a halo of light, looking very mysterious.
The energy of this Yuan Dan is not small, Lu Shaoyou slowly and orderly refined it. This refining process cannot be rushed, and it is impossible to refine it in a short time.
In this refining process, there are also some things to pay attention to. The refinement of the elixir is first refined into energy, and finally the true gas spirit is refined from the power, which is still a process in the body.
Last time, he had already refined a Replenishing Yuan Dan. This time, when he refined it again, the energy filled his meridians, and Lu Shiyu's meridians no longer hurt as much as they did initially, but some of the meridians were still swollen from the energy filling them up. Under this energy filling, all the meridians in his body expanded once more.
In Lu Shaoyou's body, in the dantian qihai, strands of true energy were entering the dantian qihai. Lu Shaoyou could feel that his own dantian qihai was slowly becoming stronger, and this speed was not comparable to his normal cultivation.
Time slowly passed, and it was unknown when it started. The light energy around Lu Shao's body gradually turned into a thin layer of energy membrane. At this time, the pain in his body had also eased a lot, and the pain in his meridians had already reached a tolerable level.
As the meridians are constantly absorbing the elixir, the massive energy is tempered and the degree of absorption of true qi by the meridians has also increased significantly.
It can also be said that at this time, Lu Shaoyou's meridians are such that if an ordinary warrior's meridians could pass through a true energy the size of a baby's finger in one second, then Lu Shaoyou's meridians could pass through twice as much. The speed of true energy circulation is fast, which represents strength in a certain situation, and can gain a lot of advantages in battle.
In refining this elixir energy, Lu Shaoyou was also not daring to be careless. Nan Shu had said before that if the refined energy is too large, the meridians throughout the body may not be able to withstand it, and at that time, the meridians will be in danger of being destroyed. At the same time, one's own consciousness may also be affected, and when that happens, one will absolutely be in danger.
For things with danger, Lu Shaoyou has always been mindful of them and does not dare to make any mistakes.
The energy in the Yuan Dan was transformed into true Qi under Lu Shaoyou's refining, and after running through the meridians in the body for a week, it finally entered the Dan Tian Qi Hai continuously.
Time slowly passed, and the true energy inside Lu Shao's dantian qihai was growing more and more abundant. At this moment, Lu Shao felt that his own dantian qihai was like a separate gaseous vortex ocean, where the true energy was getting fuller and the rotation speed was getting faster. The aura around him was slowly strengthening.
It wasn't until the third morning that the last strand of energy transformed into true qi and entered Lu Shaoyou's dantian qihai, causing the energy membrane inside his body to tremble instantly, and finally revolved around him once again.
In his lower abdomen, at the dan tian and qi hai, Lu Shao had suddenly felt a surge of energy stirring, generating massive waves that finally roared up fiercely.
At the same time, in the secret room, Lu Shaoyou's eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light shot out from his eyes. After a moment, the light disappeared, and Lu Shaoyou's eyes seemed to have become even more profound. The entire atmosphere around him had changed imperceptibly.
"I've reached the Fourth-Order Warrior." Lu Shao felt the thick True Qi within his body, which was now several times stronger than when he was a Third-Order Warrior. No wonder he wasn't a match for Zhou Haiming back then, with his Seventh-Order Warrior strength being far superior to Lu's Third-Order at the time.
