Chapter Ten: Breaking Through Once Again

  Ye Chen returned to the courtyard, directly throwing the tripod onto the ground, lying down beside it, panting heavily with his mouth open, staring firmly at the cloudless blue sky, and said firmly: "I will definitely become a strong one, definitely, definitely will!"

  Ye Chen didn't rest for long and hastily got up, moving the furnace into the house to start the final refinement.

  A month later, the competition with Xufei and the selection of outer door disciples in half a year, now for Ye Chen, time is the most critical issue, he has no extra time to rest, everything is pressing him to death.

  Ye Chen quickly cleaned up the old furnace in front of him and started right away.

  Qī chóng cǎo, huáng shēn, bǎi yáng huā, líng shān. Yè chén àn zhào fàng rù de shùn xù, xiǎo xīn yǐ yǐ de jiāng tāmen fàng rù, jīng shén quán bù gāo dù jí zhōng kòng zhì huǒ yàn de qiáng dù.

  As time passed minute by minute, the medicinal materials in the cauldron were slowly blending together. A fragrance of medicine gradually wafted out from the cauldron and into Ye Chen's nostrils.

  Ye Chen's spirit was shaken, knowing that now was the most critical moment. The previous two attempts at refining medicine had failed at this very point.

  Ye Chen's nerves were stretched taut, following Dan Fang's recipe without daring to make a single mistake. Gradually, the fragrance of the medicine grew thicker and Ye Chen's face changed, exclaiming: "It's done!"

  Ye Chen hastily got up, opened the lid of the stove, and a refreshing breath rushed towards him. Ye Chen felt invigorated and refreshed, feeling his whole body filled with energy, all fatigue swept away.

  Generally speaking, the final step in refining Dan medicine is the most important, and there can't be any slight deviation. However, Ye Chen's refined **, so this last step was omitted.

  Ye Chen was afraid that the medicinal effect would dissipate into the air, so he hastily used a jade bottle he had prepared earlier to store the contents of the furnace, filling up three bottles!

  Ye Chen looked at the green ** inside the jade bottle, and an unspeakable joy appeared on his face, his expression extremely excited, just like a child who had obtained something he loved very much.

  Ye Chen hid two bottles in his room and carried one with him as he turned around and ran into the dense forest, eager to test the effects of this "health tonic".

  ————

  In the dense forest behind Yunzong Mountain, Ye Chen was practicing various exercises on the empty ground, sweat constantly dripping from his body. Not far away, there was a pit dug by him since childhood, filled with clear water, which he had prepared early on.

  The usage of 'nourishing liquid' has two methods. The first method is to directly apply the 'nourishing liquid' onto the body, which can quickly restore damaged muscles and eliminate fatigue. The second method is to add a few drops of 'nourishing liquid' into water and dilute it. Although its effect is not as good as applying it directly onto the body, Ye Chen now only has one bottle left, so he can only use it sparingly.

  As Ye Chen's movements became more intense, they also became slower. Ye Chen felt his muscles becoming increasingly sore and numb. He knew he was approaching his limit, but he didn't stop. He continued to train, pushing himself to the extreme to test the effects of the 'Nourishing Liquid'.

  Ye Chen's movements became more and more vigorous, sweat also increasing...

  Bang

  A dull thud, Ye Chen finally couldn't hold on and fell directly to the ground, unable to muster any strength throughout his body. Even moving his fingers took effort, and what's more, Ye Chen felt that the muscles in his legs had been damaged. If he didn't have a healing potion, Ye Chen was afraid he wouldn't be able to move for at least a month.

  Ye Chen didn't leave himself any leeway, he believed in the alchemy skills passed down by the gods, and he believed in the effects of 'Nourishing Liquid'.

  Ye Chen struggled to crawl to where he had placed his clothes, and from the pile of clothes, he took out a jade bottle containing 'Nourishing Liquid'. He slowly opened it, using all his strength to carefully drip three drops of 'Nourishing Liquid' into a prepared stone pool.

  As three drops of 'body nourishing liquid' dripped in, the originally clear and transparent stone pool suddenly turned pale blue, and with a slight shake, it even reflected some sparkling lights, quite magical.

  Ye Chen looked at the clear water that had already changed color, and with a strong endurance of pain, he directly rolled down. As soon as he entered the pool, Ye Chen was stimulated by intense pain and fainted.

  As Ye Chen entered the stone pool, the originally pale blue water gradually emitted a faint mist, which was slightly greenish in color. The mist slowly rose and finally followed Ye Chen's breathing into his body.

  The air flow entered his body, and Ye Chen's originally painful face gradually calmed down, as if it was also in an instant, emitting a warm jade-like glow, which reflected slightly under the sunlight.

  Yechen, who was in a daze, seemed to have sensed the change within his body. A smile actually appeared on his face.

  The blue liquid stained Ye Chen's skin, seeping into his body through the pores, nourishing his bones, washing his meridians, and repairing his damaged muscles.

  As Ye Chen subconsciously and endlessly drew in, more and more air currents drifted out of the stone pool, until finally, they faintly shrouded Ye Chen's exposed body.

  In the stone pool, Ye Chen's eyes were tightly closed as he inhaled the last wisp of air into his body. His eyelashes fluttered slightly, and after a moment, his eyes suddenly snapped open, emitting a dazzling cyan glow from the dark pupils.

  Slowly exhaling a mouthful of turbid air from his chest, Ye Chen's eyes sparkled as he blinked, then suddenly stood up from the stone pool, letting the icy water cascade down his body. He lazily stretched his waist, feeling no fatigue in his physique, and murmured to himself in a daze: "This is too amazing, if I can keep going like this, I can cultivate non-stop without worrying about the damage caused by over-cultivation."

  Without any reserve, Ye Chen crawled out of the stone pool and looked back at the now clear water. This was because the energy contained within had been absorbed by him. He shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself: "It's just that the consumption is a bit high, this bottle can still be used more than ten times!"

  Wiping off the water stains on his body, Ye Chen directly walked back onto the empty space and continued to train.

  Ye Chen had just set up his stall when he felt a refreshing breath spread throughout his body, entering his muscles and bones.

  An unbelievable expression quickly flooded onto Ye Chen's face, because he discovered that this situation was actually a precursor to breaking through!

  "How is this possible?!"

  "This must be an illusion! It must be an illusion!"

  After a moment, Ye Chen's face lit up with excitement, he closed his eyes and took several deep breaths, then suddenly opened them wide. Just as Ye Chen opened his eyes, a dull thud echoed within his body.

  Ye Chen's right hand transformed into a claw-like shape, and he suddenly remembered to attack. He directly struck the small tree in front of Ye Chen, cutting it off at the waist.

  Body Double!

  This is indeed Shattered Body Double!

  If people knew that Ye Chen had only just broken through to Fragmented Body First Order two days ago, and now he has already broken through to Fragmented Body Second Order again, they would probably be so excited that they wouldn't be able to speak.

  A moment later, Ye Chen's mood slowly calmed down, and he clenched his fists tightly, with a ferocious smile, full of murderous intent, muttering to himself: "Xu Feng, wait for me! A month from now, I will first trample your younger brother under my feet, and the next one will be you!"
