Chapter 135: Thoroughly Clearing Away the Filth in the Body
Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu
He was a little loath to part with it!
Ling Han did not immediately refine it. This kind of a G.o.dly medicine had the life-saving abilities of growing flesh on bones and reviving a dead man. For him to simply refine it like this, he really felt a bit hesitant to make a move.
However, this was only a moment’s hesitation.
He had already learnt Body of Dead Tree, and thus had condensed a single drop of Indestructible True Fluid. This had the incredible effect of saving his life. Although its effects were a bit weaker when compared with the G.o.dly medicine, it had the advantage of being able to be condensed again after being used.
Moreover, as long as he managed to learn the Body of Rock Cliff of the Invincible Heaven Scroll, he would be able to condense another two drops of the Indestructible True Fluid.
…There would be no more G.o.dly medicine once it was eaten, while the Indestructible True Fluid could be continuously condensed. It was obvious which one was more profitable.
Additionally, the G.o.dly medicine could give his physical body a complete upgrade, strengthening his core and banking up his Origin Power. These were all solid benefits for him. Ling Han did not lack comprehension of cultivation. What he lacked was time, and the G.o.dly medicine could compensate for his lack of time very well.
‘In this life, luck is on my side!’ Ling Han tossed the root of the G.o.dly medicine into his mouth. One bite, and he could feel a strong fragrance spread out in his mouth, and there was a light, airy feeling in his whole body, as if he would be flying at any moment.
‘Invigorating!’ He continued to circulate the Invincible Heaven Scroll while directing the medicinal effects to spread into every part of his body.
Changes were immediately apparent.
He could clearly feel his cells strengthening, his bones becoming st.u.r.dier, and the blood flowing in his veins becoming more energetic, as if there was an ultimate warrior thoroughly clearing away all the filth acc.u.mulated in his body. Very soon, a black layer of filth appeared on his body. This black layer was made up of the impurities acc.u.mulated in his body which, with the effects of the G.o.dly medicine, were now forced out of his body.
Don’t underestimate this.
When a martial artist cultivated, that was a process of upgrading one’s physical body. When he reached Flower Blossom Tier, there would be a change in the nature of his body, casting off his mortal body and evolving into a higher level of existence. Just like a rock that, with continuous grinding and refining, slowly becomes a beautiful piece of jade.
Forcing out the impurities in one’s body was equivalent to refining oneself, and speeding up the process of “transforming into jade”.
This change was very slight, but the effects were extremely obvious.
Ling Han could immediately feel the Spiritual Qi entering his body was obviously circulating faster than before.
That was natural. Since the impurities in his veins have decreased, Spiritual Qi could flow throughout his body at a faster pace. And that was not the only benefit. Now that the circulation of Spiritual Qi had become faster, when he began circulating Origin Power in future, it would also be a faster process than before.
What it meant was clear—the faster Origin Power was being circulated, the greater the destructive power behind his blows. This was a solid upgrade.
His life and vitality were continuously becoming stronger, and there was also a certain level of upgrade to his divine sense, making him experience the feeling of having a clear head. When he pondered, his thoughts were forming at a faster pace and were clearer than before.
Exhilarating! Exhilarating! Exhilarating!
After about half a day, he had completely refined the root of the G.o.dly medicine.
“What a pity that there is practically no increase to my cultivation level!” Ling Han sighed. But it was all right. Previously, he had taken advantage of the opportunity and embezzled the resources provided by the Imperial Family of Rain Country as well as the Eight Great Clans to concoct a large amount of alchemical pills that could help him increase his cultivation level, so he was not missing out.
He took out the second root of the G.o.dly medicine, swallowed it, and continued the refining process.
“Hong long long.” This time, he could sense a thunderous noise within his body, as every bone was groaning and cras.h.i.+ng one into another. This time, the effects of the medicine had gone even deeper, and it was stimulating a great change within the bones of his body.
This was not so exhilarating. On the other hand, the remolding of his bones was an agonizing process, as if his whole body was being shattered to be rebuilt once more. The pain caused him to suck on his teeth, and sweat poured down like rain from his body.
“Urgh… Ah…” He released a series of low groans. “Peng, peng, peng.” Very quickly, there was a banging on the door. It was Hu Niu who had heard his moans of pain and had thus come to check up on him.
“I’m fine!” Ling Han said through gritted teeth.
“Peng!”
But it was obviously completely pointless to say this to Hu Niu. The violent nature of the little girl had activated, as she crashed in. After rolling around on the ground once, she looked at Ling Han simplemindedly. When she saw that he was still able to sit in a cross-legged position, though he had sweated a lot, she immediately bared her teeth in a grin.
