Chapter 420

"Inhale~ Exhale~"

Lin Qi adjusted his breathing; the change in airflow caused bursts of breeze to blow in the martial arts room.

Mental power reached deep into his body like invisible tentacles.

Sensing the bone marrow within his body's bones.

Bone marrow is located within the body's bones, distributed in every corner of the body.

Mental power needed to break through the shell of the bones to be able to perceive the bone marrow within.

"Swish swish!!"

Soon he sensed the bone marrow within the bones; they flowed rapidly, participating in the body's hematopoiesis function.

They appeared red and yellow overall, looking very ordinary on the surface.

But careful perception revealed that their color was dark and turbid, with a large amount of impurities mixed within, like a polluted river.

Lin Qi frowned; his bone marrow actually had so many impurities.

He sensed carefully, and it was indeed mixed with many impurity sediments, and many were metabolized from his own bones and internal organs.

"The teacher said that due to childhood diet, as well as the large amount of potion resources consumed at low realms, many impurities were not digested and accumulated in the body."

"The tempering of internal organs is also a process of metabolizing waste, and now it's just the bone marrow's turn."

The content of Teacher Mu Hong's cultivation notes surfaced in Lin Qi's mind.

Due to their childhood diet and the various potions consumed, such as nutritional meals, Qi and blood capsules, and energy potions, all contained impurity waste.

It's just that it had no effect on martial artists of that realm, but by the sixth realm, with bone marrow impurity accumulation, it had to be cleaned.

For sixth-realm martial artists, what they need to do is clean and temper the bone marrow.

"Hum hum!!"

He used mental power to control Qi and blood to gather into the bones and aggregate with the bone marrow.

The body also vibrated instantly, with muscles and bones vibrating to produce strength.

Using Qi and blood to vibrate and clean the impurities.

"Hiss~"

In an instant, Lin Qi gasped, and a burst of intense stinging pain surged into his mind.

"Tempering bone marrow is a deep-level transformation of the body, and the process will be accompanied by intense pain."

"No one can be spared!"

Lin Qi also felt the intense pain; the more intense this pain, the higher the tempering effect.

One is because of the transformation of the body, and the other is because the impurities within are not easy to remove.

He could feel that many impurities were like bone-attached gangrene, adsorbing into the bone marrow.

He had to use ruthless force, and his Qi and blood strength was like a high-pressure water gun, frantically impacting and washing!

This process could not be comfortable!

His whole body couldn't stop trembling, and sweat kept appearing on his forehead.

His entire skeleton felt pain, as if countless needles were pricking the bone nerves.

There was no way to alleviate it; he could only keep enduring it.

"No wonder so many people are stuck at the sixth realm; it's not without reason, and it's not just because of talent."

Such a thought surfaced in Lin Qi's mind; he had already practiced an iron-like will, but he still felt unbearable pain.

Not to mention other martial artists.

Especially awakened geniuses; they might not necessarily be able to persist for a long time.

Of course, there are also painless methods, which is practicing source energy cultivation methods, activating the activity of bone marrow through source energy, and letting it metabolize impurity waste on its own.

Or simply consuming some heavenly treasures, such as disaster beast bone marrow; after consuming it, one can let the bone marrow transform without pain.

Both of these methods can improve Qi and blood value.

But neither can allow Qi and blood value to increase rapidly, unless the family is unusually rich.

But Lin Qi wanted it all; as for marrow-refining speed, the faster, the better.

He wanted to charge to the peak of the sixth realm as quickly as possible.

"Hum hum!!"

As his body vibrated, he also activated the special ability 【Golden Edge】.

The power of Golden Edge fused with Qi and blood, and the tempering efficiency significantly improved, but the pain suddenly intensified, making his forehead break out in cold sweat.

He didn't worry about the consumption of physical strength, because the 80 kilograms of flesh he consumed still had a large amount of essence.

Other organs of his body were also operating at high speed, constantly digesting the essence, converting it into physical strength, and investing it into marrow-refining.

Lin Qi closed his eyes tightly, his mental power highly concentrated, and he could already feel a little bit of impurities being washed away.

As they were metabolized out, the operation of the bone marrow also became smoother, forming a chain reaction, and physical strength also increased accordingly.

His body genes also underwent subtle changes along with it.

The function of the five viscera and six entrails, which had already been tempered, was also slowly improving. 【You operated the marrow-refining method, tempered the bone marrow, the body began to transform, Qi and blood value +1, Qi and blood value +1, Qi and blood value +1...】

Lin Qi kept enduring the pain, and on the panel, his Qi and blood value was also constantly rising.

Although the quantity was not much, it accumulated over time.

Four hours later.

Time had unknowingly reached 6:00 PM.

"Inhale~ Exhale~"

In the quiet martial arts room, only the sound of wind could be heard, which was the breeze brought by Lin Qi's breathing.

His whole body was soaked in sweat, and his body couldn't stop trembling.

"Drip drop!"

The moment the sweat dripped, Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes.

!

His strong chest heaved like mountain rocks, he took a deep breath, exhaled heavily, accompanied by a large amount of foul air.

"Whoosh whoosh!!"

Amidst the raging strong wind, he saw him trembling and slowly standing up.

【You underwent four hours of marrow-refining, marrow quality improved, body transformed, Qi and blood value significantly improved, Qi and blood value +50】

【Qi and blood value: 1020+1070】

After stabilizing his figure, Lin Qi clenched his fists, his heart beating powerfully, while pumping fresh blood.

His bones seemed to become thicker, and his Qi and blood operated more smoothly.

The power of the bone marrow, hidden within the bones, also surged out continuously, following the Qi and blood to circulate to every corner of his body.

He could feel that as a portion of the impurities was removed, the bone marrow was unusually active.

Other parts were also nourished, and physical fitness was also significantly improved.

With one punch, he could strike with greater power.

"The effect of the first marrow-refining is stronger than I imagined."

Lin Qi looked at the 50 Qi and blood value increase on the panel.

In the past, for the first-realm Qi and blood value, he would only increase by a single digit after a month or two of hard practice.

Now, one marrow-refining practice could increase his Qi and blood value by a full 50.

He wanted to break through to the seventh realm, which required a full 3000 Qi and blood value.

If he didn't endure the pain, how could he rapidly improve his cultivation?

"Gurgle gurgle~"

Lin Qi picked up a bottle of functional drink and drank it in large gulps, recalling the process of marrow-refining just now; it was truly unbearable pain.

Ordinary geniuses would be doing well to endure it for an hour.

Geniuses with a firmer will could probably persist for more than an hour.

But he was different; he could persist for four hours.

If it weren't for the feeling that continuing to practice would cause damage to his body, and the disaster beast flesh was almost consumed.

Otherwise, he could have continued to practice.

After a simple rest, he took down the Tiger-Slayer Great Spear from the wall and began to perform the spear art.

"Shoo shoo!!"

"Whoosh whoosh!!"

The black great spear was waved, setting off bursts of huge wind, blowing the curtains.

"Boom!!"

At the same time, the mountain and river artistic conception also manifested, covering the entire martial arts room.

Lin Qi felt the artistic conception added to his body and focused on the practice of the spear art.

His Qi and blood value was increasing, and his spear art could not fall behind either.

The spear art had already broken through to the mid-fourth stage, and the next step was to break through to the late stage.

Let the artistic conception reach the divine, and the power of the spear art would increase again.

And this process was not easy; many people couldn't make any progress for years.

Because their comprehension was not enough.

And Lin Qi was different; for him, as long as he practiced, he could make progress.
