Chapter 12: Marrow Washing and Bone Smashing, Spiritual Liquid

  Wang Shi's body emitted a dull thudding sound, like the sound of stir-frying beans, which made him tremble involuntarily.

  A layer upon layer of massive waves had been stirred up within his body, the spiritual energy was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, violently colliding with Wang Shi's body, a tearing and splitting sensation caused Wang Shi to let out one miserable cry after another.

  He felt his body shattering bit by bit, his skeleton pulverized, his tendons and blood vessels rupturing, fresh blood seeping out from the cracks in his skin.

  "Is this what it means to wash one's marrow and cut one's bones?!" Wang Shi said silently, feeling that his own body was starting to be beyond his control.

  A thick bloody smell emanated from his body. He felt that his body was being stripped layer by layer, and at the same time, countless ants were biting his internal organs, with itchiness and pain mixed together, but he couldn't touch them, and the suffering was unbearable!

  "It's all right if I can just get through this!" Wang Shi spat out a mouthful of blood and held on to his own spirit.

  His body was already badly damaged, his internal organs were all shattered, and in a short time, Wang Shi felt like he had gone through a long period of time.

  Wang Shi felt that his body had become a puddle of mud, but his consciousness was still clear under this painful stimulation.

  "Ah ah ah!" Wang Shi let out a miserable cry, his spiritual energy no longer under his control, violently surging against his body.

  Rumble rumble

  That spiritual power swept through again and again, Wang Shi's body became harder and harder under this bloody baptism, but just as new bones grew out, the spiritual power destroyed them without hesitation.

  Wang Shi endured this inhuman trial with great pain and suffering, his clothes soaked with sweat and blood.

  ……..

  Zhou Xuanming said to the group of children, "This is what it means to wash your marrow and cut your bones. To break through to the fifth layer, you must go through a process. Only by enduring this suffering can you transform like a caterpillar into a butterfly and walk the path of the strong!"

  Those children's faces were filled with a complex mix of fear and longing.

  Zhou Xun can be considered a veteran, thinking back to that marrow-washing and bone-cutting experience, he still feels some lingering fear, the pain was deeply ingrained in his bones.

  ………….

  Wang Shi's body was originally a bloody mess, but at this time, a stream of dark impurities was discharged from his body, emitting a strong smell of blood, making people cover their mouths.

  "It stinks!"

  The impurities in Wang Shi's meridians and the waste water in his bones were all discharged, piling up thickly on his clothes.

  "Wow, there's still so much impurity!" Wang Shi was somewhat shocked, thinking that he had already been cleaned up pretty well since the cleansing of Shi Zhu, but only today did he discover that his body actually had such a huge amount of impurity!

  "No wonder my cultivation has stagnated. It must be these impurities that have provoked the ghost!" King Shi muttered to himself.

  After a long time, the king's stone was emitting green smoke, and the impurities inside had finally been purged.

  "We finally made it through!" Wang Shi said with a sigh of relief.

  However, the impact on the fifth layer has not ended, and it has not even been successful, but only survived the most difficult step.

  "Rebirth!" Wang Shi felt he could control his spiritual energy, slowly flowing into the remaining fragments.

  Buzzing

  Those bones and meridians were reborn, the skeleton grew stronger, a fierce energy emanated from within, and the meridians became much wider, each one becoming crystal clear.

  But after a long, long time, it occasionally made cracking sounds.

  "Finally succeeded! Then break through!" Wang Shi's white spiritual power became dense, reaching a peak state, his strength began to fluctuate! This is the sign of breaking through!

  Buzzing

  At this moment, Wang Shi's head buzzed with a fly's sound, and he began to charge into the fifth layer of the Wilderness!

  Rumble rumble

  That spiritual power was like a huge wave constantly hitting the thin membrane between the fourth and fifth layers.

  "Give it to me!" Wang Shi shouted with all his might.

  However, the fact that the thin membrane did not crack made Wang Shi's face look somewhat unsightly.

  "Could it be that there are still some who are eager to succeed?" Wang Shi said with some reluctance, having come this far, how could he possibly accept the possibility of failure!

  "Break through! Break through!" Wang Shi bellowed, but each time he was met with a backlash, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

  ………….

  Zhou Xuan looked at him and couldn't help but ask the middle-aged man: "Uncle, why can't he break through?"

  "He's still a bit short," Zhou Xuanming said, shaking his head. Although the spiritual power seemed to have reached perfection, it had actually lost some after being tempered and refined through trials and tribulations, and this small loss was enough to lead to failure.

  "Great Uncle, then you quickly help him!" Zhou Chen said at this time.

  Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Forget it, after all, he is our Zhou family's benefactor." Then he took out a jade bottle and walked in front of Wang Shi, saying: "Wang Shi, since you called me Big Brother, then Big Brother will give you a gift. This drop of spiritual liquid is extremely pure and can help you break through the fifth layer with ease. Use it to enhance your strength at the fifth layer!"

  Those five young men were all shocked, no one had expected that their uncle would actually take out this spiritual liquid so generously. Several of them had never used the undiluted spiritual liquid before, only the diluted version.

  This kind of pure spiritual liquid is extremely valuable, and even if they were a large family, they wouldn't have much.

  ………..

  "Elixir?!" Wang Shi had heard of it before, this elixir could increase one's strength just by absorbing it!

  "I wonder how pure it will be!" Wang Shi said with some anticipation.

  "Go!" Zhou Xuanming poured out a drop of liquid, green like jade.

  In an instant, that drop of green liquid flew into Wang Shi's mouth.

  Rumble rumble

  "What a wonderful power!" Wang Shi exclaimed.

  Only to see that drop of green liquid as soon as it entered, changed into a turbulent wave, but instead of destroying Wang Shi's body, it surged towards the meridians, leading to the Sea of Qi!

  "Break through!" Wang Shi shouted loudly.

  Wang Shi, with the help of Ling Ye's power, once again broke through the fifth layer of the Wilderness!

  Card scrape

  Finally, with one vigorous effort, that thin membrane finally burst! A torrent of spiritual energy surged towards every corner of the body, and Wang Shi's strength rose like a rocket at this moment!

  Boom

  A force from the fifth layer of the Wilderness Domain is spreading out!

  "Finally broke through!" Wang Shi exclaimed, although it felt a bit unreal! In nearly four months, he had broken through from the second layer of the Wilderness to the fifth layer, crossing three boundaries in one go. This was too fantastical, yet it was real.

  "Huh? This spiritual liquid is still here!" Wang Shi only felt that a drop of spiritual liquid was still in his dantian, and a powerful force burst out!

  "Absorb it!" Wang Shi was going to rely on this spiritual liquid to consolidate his strength at the fifth level!

  Buzz

  It's been a long time since then, and that spiritual liquid has shrunk like a shrinking water, smaller by at least two circles, almost disappearing.

  After a while, the spiritual liquid finally disappeared. At this time, the spiritual energy in the air sea became dense and turned into thick fog.

  Wang Shi finally opened his eyes at this time!
