Chapter 68: Body Refining Fifth Level, Breakthrough! (2/2)

“Lu Xuan, what’s up? No longer in isolation?” Lin Xin Yi approached him and asked while handing him the meal.

Accepting the meal, Lu Xuan looked at Lin Xin Yi and said: “Thank you very much for these few days. I was preparing to contact you. For these last two days, I’m preparing to charge into body refining fifth level. Because of that, these two days you won’t need to send me food.”

With Lu Xuan’s current strength, although it was far from being able to reach the Pigu realm, but not eating food for two days also couldn’t be considered as a problem.

(TN: I didn’t know what to call 辟谷 but it essentially means abstaining from food)

“You’ve completed the fourth level so quickly?” Xia Ye said with surprise.

Lu Xuan didn’t hide it, nodding his head and admitting it.

Seeing Lu Xuan nod his head, Xia Ye immediately couldn’t help but stick up his thumb, “Your cultivation speed is too heaven defying. Forget it, I’m not looking to fight. You can calmly break through. For these two days, I’ll protect you and won’t let anyone bother you.”

After contacting those two, Lu Xuan once again entered his room. Continuously cultivating for five days straight, he had already quenched all of the bones in his body to their extremes and they couldn’t be improved at all anymore. He had totally reached the peak of body refining fourth level. Whether or not he could charge into body refining fifth level would have to be seen in these two days.

For breakthroughs, simply relying on cultivation made it difficult to break through. You also needed perception. Many martial artists were stuck their entire lives in one realm and had no way of improving again because of their lack of perception.

Last time when breaking through to body refining fourth level, Lu Xuan had taken advantage of the insights from his fight with Long Yang, and had been a very natural breakthrough.

But this time, Lu Xuan’s amount of perception was still quite a bit.

During the sect entrance assessment, Lu Xuan not only touched the threshold of sword intent, he had even rushed to the sixth floor of the Sword Tower, and in the end he had also had a life and death duel with Long Tai. In addition, when he went to Qing Mountain Village, together with Xia Chen Xi they had fought with body refining eighth level Long Zhan.

These fights had brought perceptions and were all valuable. If he could completely digest all of these things, breaking through would be a very natural thing.

Returning to his room, Lu Xuan once again took out the five Muscle Altering pills . Using a Muscle Altering pill to charge into the muscle forging realm would make things much easier.

A dan medicine was swallowed. Lu Xuan immediately felt a burst of warm qi rise from his chest. The Muscle Altering pill’s potency was already beginning to work.

Muscles, referring to the human body’s ligaments, tendons, and skeletal muscles etc. There’s an old saying that muscles are the flesh’s source of strength. The meaning of these words were that even if the flesh’s power was even stronger, it still had to go through the muscles in order to be released.

Achieving peak body refining fourth level, Lu Xuan’s flesh and bones had already solidified very much. As the saying goes, muscles and bones, muscles and bones. Broken bones were connected to muscles. After the bone cleansing, muscle was required. Only by tempering the muscles to become incomparably tough could the body exert the greatest amount of power.

After the Muscle Altering pill’s medicinal strength was released, small strands of the medicinal strength began to quickly attach to the muscles throughout Lu Xuan’s whole body, continuously strengthening them.

Tai Yi Soul Return Tactic continued to circulated. Lu Xuan tossed aside all of the other thoughts in his mind. Perceiving the gains from this period of time, his entire person was like his soul had traveled out of his body.

After who knows how long, the potency of the first Muscle Altering pill had already been completely released and was finished. Lu Xuan didn’t think twice and swallowed the second Muscle Altering pill.

Under the medicinal strength’s draw, the soul force flowing in the meridians no longer limited to just flesh and bone. It began to slowly penetrate towards the ends of the bones.

Up until the third Muscle Altering pill’s complete digestion, Lu Xuan suddenly felt his mind suddenly have a moment of clarity. All of his understanding in this moment became very clear!

An extremely comfortable feeling passed through, as if his whole body from top to bottom had its pores all opened, greedily sucking in the air’s soul force!
