Chapter 489: Second-Stage Body Refining Cultivator

Lin Zhangqing carefully savored the changes in his body, but now he felt only one thing, and that was pain—a burning pain all over his body.

Meanwhile, Chen Zi Ya, who was guarding him nearby, had noticed Lin Zhangqing's abnormality from the very beginning!

His expression was very painful, and his body was sweating profusely, but after a while, the surface of his body began to heat up violently.

Even the sweat remaining on his skin was steamed away, making him look like he was steaming. She was nearly scared to death, fearing that Lin Zhangqing's body would directly catch fire.

So she could only control the Spirit Rain Technique, shrink its range, and cool down Lin Zhangqing's body. Fortunately, after more than an hour, Lin Zhangqing finally woke up!

Chen Zi Ya hurriedly fed him some water at the first opportunity, then asked: "Green Brother! How do you feel now? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

Lin Zhangqing rested for a while before saying: "Ya'er! I'm fine now, don't worry! I was too careless just now. I didn't expect the thunder-attribute origin of this Fourth-Tier spirit beast egg to be so dense. I was too eager just now, so I nearly got blown up! But now that I have experience, this kind of thing won't happen next time, so you don't need to worry, it's fine! But this thing is not suitable for you at all, so don't try it casually. You don't have a thunder-attribute cultivation method and simply cannot digest this kind of thunder-attribute origin!"

Chen Zi Ya rolled her eyes at him and then said: "Such a dangerous thing is not suitable for me! Besides, I don't have your physique, nor do I have this kind of endurance, so I wouldn't dare to try this thing casually!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded; this time he could be considered to have gained from a disaster, opening two and a half thunder apertures in one breath.

Now he had to seize the time to refine the three stabilizing objects with the Treasure Gathering Technique, store them into the apertures, and then consider other things.

The first one he held in his hand was the Five Elements Thunder Gathering Bottle he bought at the Wanbao Pavilion in Linyuan City.

Originally there was also the Thunder Drum, but the Thunder Drum had already been replaced by a Thunder Spirit Pearl, which he had put into a thunder aperture in advance.

So for this stabilizing object, he prepared to use this Five Elements Thunder Gathering Bottle, plus two high-grade Thunder Spirit Pearls.

Now there weren't that many thunder-attribute spiritual artifacts, so he could only temporarily use these Thunder Spirit Pearls to make do! After spending more than two hours, he finally sent the three stabilizing objects into the thunder apertures. By this time, it was already nearly midnight! He didn't dare to continue cultivating; today his entire body's meridians had been operating under overload and were still burning with pain, so he decided to give himself a day off.

He found some pills in his storage bag that nourished the meridians, swallowed them, and then hugged Chen Zi Ya to rest!

The next day, the two of them didn't set off again, mainly because Lin Zhangqing wanted to stay here and completely digest that Thunder Bird King spirit beast egg before leaving!

It was estimated to take about two days. By then, the remaining ten days could be used to harvest demon cores; the time would be just about right!

So Chen Zi Ya also agreed, and the two temporarily settled down here.

Lin Zhangqing woke up today and felt much better; at least the meridians all over his body no longer hurt! After his repeated consideration last night, he found that the big gulp of egg liquid he absorbed yesterday accounted for about one-sixth of the entire spirit beast egg.

That amount was truly too much, so he decided to try swallowing one-fourth of yesterday's amount. He felt he should have no problems!

After telling Chen Zi Ya, he took out the spirit beast egg again, took a small gulp, and then hurriedly concentrated all his attention to start guiding the thunder mana entering his meridians!

This time, it was indeed as he had guessed; he could just grasp this force, so he began to guide this force to open the twenty-second thunder aperture.

Although the process of opening it was still as painful as yesterday, this time there was no danger, and this process actually didn't take long. It took about two quarters of an hour to complete the opening of the aperture, and its size was the same as the previous apertures.

This way, Lin Zhangqing knew what to expect. The remaining egg liquid inside the spirit beast egg should be able to let him open about nineteen to twenty-one more thunder apertures.

After calculating clearly, he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and hugged Chen Zi Ya, kissing her fiercely.

Chen Zi Ya was startled by his sudden action. Fortunately, she knew that something good must have happened for Lin Zhangqing to be so happy.

So she was also willing to cooperate and even interacted with him. After Lin Zhangqing had kissed enough,

Chen Zi Ya asked: "Green Brother! Is there some good news? You look so happy!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said proudly: "It is indeed good news, but I won't tell you now, but you will be able to see it in a day or two!

Also, during this time, I'll have to trouble you to continue guarding me. I want to refine all this egg liquid as soon as possible, and then you will naturally see it!"

Seeing Lin Zhangqing so happy, Chen Zi Ya was also happy for him, so she nodded and said: "Guarding you is what I should do! But I just saw that your cultivation process seemed very painful. Why don't we slow down!

Don't push yourself so hard. With your strength, there aren't many people here who can compete with you; there's no need to fight for this moment!"

Lin Zhangqing hugged her, touched her cheek, and said: "There's no way around it; body refining techniques are just like this! You don't need to worry; I will handle it well!"

Chen Zi Ya could only nod. She also knew she couldn't persuade him, so she could only do her best to do everything she could, hoping to reduce Lin Zhangqing's pain.

After sharing the joy with Chen Zi Ya, he didn't dare to delay time and devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation again.

He loved cultivation, especially this kind of cultivation where progress could be clearly seen; it was his favorite.

What was a little pain? Anyway, he had gradually become accustomed to this kind of pain. Now, every half an hour or so, he would consume a small gulp of egg liquid.

That is, opening a thunder aperture, plus resting a little, and the time for refining the Thunder Spirit Pearl as a stabilizing object.

On average, every hour or so, he would finish a thunder aperture. He really didn't feel tired at all for this kind of cultivation that gave him such a sense of accomplishment.

By the morning of the second day, when he successfully opened the thirty-sixth thunder aperture,

a series of explosions sounded all over his body, just like small firecrackers being lit.
