41 Breakthrough (2/2)
It was easy to be reborn physically. However, how difficult would it be to be reborn mentally?
He could do it with the spiritual tea!
After a long while, he looked at his stats window:
”Name: Fang Yuan
Essence: 2.7
Spirit: 2.6
Magic: 2.0
Age: 18
Cultivation: [Martial Artist (5th Gate)]
Technique: [Black Sand Palm (Grade 5)], [Eagle Claw Iron Skin Technique (Grade 5)]
Skill: [Medicine (Level 2)], [Botany (Level 3)]”
”Ssss….”
Fang Yuan breathed in. ”My magic has increased by 30%. Could it be due to the effect of the spiritual tea? No….or could it be due to my previous epiphany?”
Right after he consumed the spiritual tea from the meditative tea ceremony, he entered a strange but magical state, which made him felt as if he relived his whole life again.
Such a state was considered rare and precious. One such opportunity allowed his magic to increase by 0.5!
”I'm afraid that no other heavenly treasures can have the same benefits, right?”
Fang Yuan inhaled a long breath.He could feel the inner power bubbling vigorously in his lower abdomen. The inner power from the Grade 5 Eagle Claw Iron Skin Technique surged forth violently on its own and reached the bottleneck of the 6th Grade!
”Is this….what many martial artists have been wishing for….to attain a new grade naturally?”
Fang Yuan was surprised and immediately sat down. He ordered the Flower Fox Ferret to watch over him and then closed his eyes.
When a martial artist attempts to break through his current grade to attain new grade, it would most of the time be consciously using his inner power to break through, which was arduous.
However, there was another way to break through. One would be able to break through his current grade naturally if his inner power was strong enough. His inner power would automatically be adjusted to work in his new grade, allowing him to execute his techniques naturally.
The success rate was nearly 100%!
...….
At the same time, back in the Spirit Returning Sect.
”Sister Leiyue, please have some spiritual porridge!”
A female disciple carefully brought a wooden tray into the room. There was a bowl of Vermillion Jade Porridge on the tray.
She could not resist the aroma from the bowl of porridge.
”The Sect Head knows that you are about to break through to a new gate and she specially left a portion of hers for you! The portion is enough for 7 days and every meal will be spiritual rice.”
The disciple swallowed her saliva and added. She was envious of Leiyue.
”Please help me to thank the Sect Head. You may leave now. I will be undergoing closed door cultivation. You will not have to come and attend to me other than when it's meal time from now onwards!”
Lin Leiyue stroked her hair.
Everyone in the sect had their own amount of spiritual rice and even Shi Yutong did not dare to change her portion.
However, since Shi Yutong knew that Lin Leiyue was about to break through the Gate, she gave her a portion of her spiritual rice as a form of support.
If Fang Yuan, nope, if the Flower Fox Ferret was here, it would not resist its temptations and would start consuming the spiritual porridge.
There was too much water, and too little spiritual rice when cooking the porridge. Of course, most importantly, the grain size of this spiritual rice was way smaller as compared to Fang Yuan's homegrown Vermillion Jade Rice grains.
However, in Lin Leiyue's opinion, isn't this how spiritual rice should be?
She could feel a warm sensation after consuming the spiritual porridge and her inner power started to surge.
”Let's start!”
Lin Leiyue closed all 4 doors and began the process of breaking through.
Every gate would become increasingly difficult! The 6th gate was the first of the 3 Perilous Gates. Once she had broken through those gates, her inner power would be fused into inner force!
Of course, if she failed, she would get injured badly.
This gate marked the difference between a real expert in martial arts and a normal martial artist. In the Spirit Returning Sect, a [Martial Artist (6th Gate)] would be capable enough to hold a senior position and repress anyone!
”I possess the Spiritual Moon Body and consumed the Frozen Moon Pill. I am quite confident since I fought against Song Zhong previously!”
Lin Leiyue clenched her fists and said, ”With the help of the spiritual rice, I will be successful in breaking through!”
She crossed her knees and sat down. She regulated her vigorous inner power and began the process of breaking through.
”Bang!”
She sent her first wave of her inner power but was unable to break through the gate.
Lin Leiyue expected this to happen as breaking through the 3 Perilous Gates was not an easy task. She would consider herself to have failed only when she had exhausted her inner power.
Time passed quickly.
Lin Leiyue seemed to have forgotten how much time had passed.
In her body, her vigorous inner power was about to be exhausted and she was very close to breaking through the 6th gate.
There was only a straw left that could break the balance between the two.
”I cannot lose. I still want to see the outside world…..I want to surpass….Fang Yuan!”
While she was still conscious, a figure of a young man appeared in front of her. The figure was gigantic and shrouded her.
”Puff!”
She fiercely opened her eyes and spat a mouthful of blood.
She suffered a backlash after failing to break through the Pain Gate!
