  "Hmm? Is there a problem? Isnt this level 7 difficulty just right for someone of my rank?"

  The monk smiled wryly, "Thats what they say, but it doesnt mean you have to stay inside all the time. The icy pool is freezing to the bone, and your body will be numb after just a minute inside. Its normal to come out and rest for a bit. Lin, youve been in there since you started, youre really persistent, dont overexert yourself."

  "Thanks for your advice, brother. Indeed, Im having a hard time holding on." Lin Ming casually replied.

  "No need to be polite, my name is Xie Dong, two years ago I was also a student of the Seventh Mystic Martial Arts Academy. After graduating, I stayed at the academy as an executive. Youre so young and already have such abilities, your future prospects are boundless! As for me, although Im a bit dull, Ive accumulated some experience in cultivation, if you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask."

  Xie Dong has been staying at the Bone Refining Peak until now. As long as a cultivator in the Condensing Pulse stage serves the Tianyun Country, they can be granted a noble title and naturally wont stay here to do chores. Xie Dong had heard of Lin Mings name long ago, and this time when he met him, his strength was indeed impressive. Although it is said that Lin Mings innate talent is ordinary, Xie Dong thinks that since Lin Ming could create such a miracle at the age of 15, he may be able to do so again in the future, so he had the intention of befriending him.

  "Thank you, senior brother." Lin Ming exchanged a few pleasantries and bid farewell before leaving.

  At this time, the sky was already late, Lin Ming returned to his residence and carried the Guan Hong gun, rushing to the practice room. He wanted to digest some of the gains from today.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－

  In the dull yet fulfilling days of the Seventh Xuanwu Mansion, every morning Lin Ming would definitely get up before sunrise and sit alone in the courtyard to breathe in the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth at dawn. After adjusting his body to a completely empty state, he began to practice his cultivation with force like silk.

  As Lin Ming combined the "Bone Shattering Fist", he found that this true yuan vibration state was wondrous, it wasnt just a clever way of using power, but also a strange and wonderful realm that could rival "enlightenment". Mastering this realm would bring boundless benefits!

  Lin Ming often sat for a whole day, not eating or drinking, and didnt move half a step. It wasnt until evening that he would eat something and rest for a bit before going to the Cold Spring to temper his body. Lin Ming only had twenty-four hours in a month to cultivate at the training grounds, and every breath and every moment was extremely precious. In order to save time, Lin Ming only stayed in the Cold Spring for half an hour each day before coming out. But even though it was only half an hour, it was still of great benefit to Lin Ming.

  But by midnight, Lin Ming began to study and create the Rune Symbol again. Although he had spent much less time on it these days due to the increase in cultivation content, Lin Mings speed hadnt slowed down much because he had reached the first level of perfection in the Chaotic True Primordial Art.

  While making the engraved medicine talismans, Lin Ming could also cultivate the Chaotic True Yuan Technique. However, the consumption of True Yuan Stones was a bit too fast, with at least one stone being consumed every day.

  Lin Ming entered the Seventh Under Heaven Pavilion for the tenth day—

  In the dead of night, at the third watch, the sky above Mount Zhou was dotted with countless stars. The forest was silent, and Lin Ming was in a wooden hut on the back mountain, his fingers dancing in mid-air like a pianists, as colorful runes continuously formed and overlapped in front of him.

  After countless failures over the past ten days, Lin Ming finally managed to reduce his error rate to less than thirty percent. With the massive increase in true essence brought about by the first cycle of the Chaotic True Essence Art, Lin Ming was barely able to hold on and complete a single drawing of the Rune Symbol.

  One by one, the materials were drawn into the air by Lin Mings True Essence, guided by his spiritual power to form beautiful patterns. Lin Mings forehead gradually sweated, but his eyes gradually revealed an excited expression.

  "The blood of a fourth-level ferocious beast, the last glyph... is complete! Its finally complete!"

  At the moment Lin Ming withdrew the true yuan, dozens of talismans floating in mid-air flashed simultaneously, finally condensing into a perfect flame pattern. The low-grade spiritual talisman was finally complete!

  Lin Ming took out a talisman paper and branded the spiritual medicine symbol on it. For this small thing, Lin Ming had spent a lot of money and time in recent days. When everything was done, Lin Ming felt the energy fluctuations on the spiritual medicine symbol, but he had a great sense of satisfaction.

  At this time, he couldnt help but get excited. As long as the spiritual medicine symbol was applied to either of the two top-grade elixirs, the efficacy of that elixir would increase by several times!

  It was originally a priceless elixir of the highest quality, and its efficacy has increased several times over. What kind of concept is that? Im afraid it would be considered precious even if it were returned to the Seven Mysteries Valley!

  Its worth noting that after Dan medicines efficacy doubles, its value may increase by tens or even hundreds of times!

  This is because the body of a martial artist will develop resistance to any dan medicine, such as the Yu Jin Lu Tai Wan that Lin Ming took before. The first pill had the best effect, the second pill had only half the effect of the first one, and the third pill had about half the effect of the second one. Therefore, even though Lin Mings family was wealthy, he only bought six Yu Jin Lu Tai Wan, and he and Lin Xiaodong each took three pills, because taking too many would have no effect. Even if you take 10,000 pills, the effect of the last 9,999 pills combined is not as good as the first one!

  This Golden Snake Scarlet Gallbladder Pill is the same as the Red Golden Dragon Marrow Pill. However, if the effect of this pill doubles, then its grade will also increase accordingly, equivalent to a higher-grade pill. Eating one more pill would have several times the original effect!

  Understanding these principles, Lin Ming was naturally excited in his heart, but he didnt use the spiritual medicine symbol at the first time. Instead, he put it away, took a good bath, and then practiced breathing exercises to adjust the frequency of all the small units inside his body, adjusting his mental power to its best state.

  Lin Ming was well aware that taking this elixir would definitely require him to break through the boundary, cultivate his true yuan and train his organs. This was a major event, and if he wasnt careful, something could go wrong. A persons five organs were relatively fragile, and after the Golden Snake Scarlet Gallbladder Elixirs efficacy increased several times, it became a truly fierce and potent medicine. If something went wrong, his body might not be able to withstand the medicinal effects, leading to a catastrophic outcome where his five organs would rupture and he would die.

  So before taking the medicinal pill, Lin Ming had to ensure that his body and mind were in their best state, without a single flaw.

  Lin Ming took a deep breath and exhaled slowly for half an hour, then picked up a True Yuan Stone and circulated the complete "Chaos True Yuan Technique" to replenish the True Yuan in his body, restoring himself to peak condition.

  After all the states reached their peak, Lin Ming pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Since he had cultivated the Chaotic True Primordial Scripture, Lin Mings perception had become many times sharper. Now in the dead of night, when all sounds were hushed, the chirping of insects within a hundred steps was all collected at the bottom of his ears. Only after confirming that there was no one around did Lin Ming take out the Golden Snake Scarlet Gallbladder Pill and the Spiritual Medicine Symbol together.

  "The medicinal effect of Hong Jin Long Mai Dan is even stronger, if I multiply it a few more times, Im afraid I wont be able to bear it, so lets start with the first-grade Golden Snake Red Gallbladder Pill this time!"
