Chapter 292: If I Were Born into a Wealthy Family, I Wouldn't Have to Suffer This

The conversation between Liang Xun and Lin Chen didn't last long. After giving the Snow Lotus Pill to Lin Chen, the conversation ended.

Kong Zhao Qifeng and Hua Qianwu also returned to the Great Hall at the same time.

This time, they were discussing how Lin Chen could go from the Seventh Turn to the Ninth Turn in one fell swoop.

"Lin Chen, summon your Martial Way Seal and let us see."

"Okay."

Hearing Lord Kong's words, Lin Chen took out the Martial Way Seal from his arms, moved his mind, and the Martial Way Seal floated above his head, and he appeared on the steps.

The next moment, Lin Chen exited Mount Wudao and looked at the few people in the Great Hall.

"You are on Mount Wudao, but your body is still in the Great Hall. This point is the same for the Mount Wudao connected to the Yan Imperial Dynasty and the Mount Wudao created by the Founding Emperor. All rewards you obtain on Mount Wudao will be infused into your main body the moment you exit Mount Wudao."

Hua Qianwu on the side took over: "The only difference is that this Martial Way Seal has golden light dropping down to protect Lin Chen's body. It takes some time for someone below mid-rank martial artist to defeat him. In addition, except for Lin Chen himself, no one else can drive this seal."

In the few days that Kong Zhao Qifeng and Liang Xun came, Hua Qianwu hadn't been idle, studying the Martial Way Seal with Lin Chen and comparing it with Daliang's Martial Way Seal.

"Looking at it this way, this Martial Way Seal can be considered a defensive treasure."

Kong Zhao Qifeng smiled, but Lin Chen gave a bitter smile: "Lord, the defense of the Martial Way Seal is useless. This junior can only hide in Mount Wudao, but cannot move. The crisis is still not resolved."

"That is not so." Kong Zhao Qifeng stroked his beard: "It is naturally useless on ordinary days, but if you encounter some special situations, you can use this seal to delay until rescue arrives."

"Lord Kong is right. At critical moments, the Martial Way Seal can be of great use."

Hua Qianwu added: "Since everything is prepared, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. Shall we start tomorrow? What do Lord Kong and the Third Prince think?"

"Agreed!"

Kong Zhao Qifeng nodded. Liang Xun naturally wouldn't have any opinions. He came here to deliver the Snow Lotus Pill to Lin Chen. As for the rest, he listened entirely to Lord Kong.

The next day, early morning.

Hua Qianwu had already prepared a full vat of dark green Cold Marrow Liquid.

Kong Zhao Qifeng sat on a chair in the courtyard, and Liang Xun had an expectant look. If Lin Chen could succeed this time, Daliang would have a second person who had reached the Nine Turns Organ

……

The next day, early morning.

Hua Qianwu had already prepared a full vat of dark green Cold Marrow Fluid.

Kong Zhao Qifeng sat on a chair in the courtyard, while Liang Xun wore a look of anticipation. If Lin Chen could succeed this time, Daliang would have its second person to reach the Ninth Turn Organ Cultivation, with potential chasing that of the Great Ancestor.

At the back courtyard entrance, Lin Chen and Jiang Qing entered at the same time.

Lin Chen had not kept his plan to break through on Mount Wudao a secret from Jiang Jiang Shijie.

"Jiang Jiang Shijie, this is Lord Kong, and this is the Third Imperial Prince."

"This disciple pays respects to Lord Kong and the Third Imperial Prince."

Jiang Qing bowed gracefully and naturally, without the slightest bit of restraint, even though standing before her were a First-Rank martial artist and an imperial prince.

"What a pity."

Seeing Jiang Qing's stunning beauty, Liang Xun felt a bit of regret. This regret wasn't because he had any designs on Jiang Qing, but simply because he thought of his two younger sisters in the clan who were not yet married. He had wanted to see if he could play matchmaker for Lin Chen, but now it seemed there was no such opportunity.

They were childhood sweethearts, and Jiang Qing was not inferior to his two imperial sisters in either appearance or temperament.

"A talented man and a beautiful woman."

Kong Zhao Qifeng praised them with a chuckle. A blush stained Jiang Qing's pretty face. She cast a sidelong glance at Lin Chen, and when she saw that he was also smiling without offering an explanation, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upward.

"Lin Chen, the Cold Marrow Fluid has been prepared for you. Before you enter Mount Wudao, you need to stay in this vat. That way, when you absorb the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire, you can immediately use the Cold Marrow Fluid to resist the violent energy of the thunder fire."

"Many thanks, Dean."

Lin Chen nodded. Not wasting any time, he quickly took off his outer clothes and stepped into the bronze vat wearing only his undergarments.

The moment he entered the vat, Lin Chen felt a cold chill surge through his pores and rush straight to his brain. He immediately urged the Qi and blood within his body to resist it.

This was not his first time experiencing Cold Marrow Fluid.

Back when he was doing body forging training at the Martial Garden, Yu Yu Jiaoxi Zhang Zhao Qifeng had used silver needles to introduce Cold Marrow Fluid into his body; he had experienced the intensity of this coldness before.

Yet even so, he was still surprised by the degree of icy coldness of this Cold Marrow Fluid.

A change in quantity leads to a change in quality!

Yu Yu Jiaoxi Zhang Zhao Qifeng had only used silver needles to introduce a wisp of Cold Marrow Fluid into his body, but the amount of Cold Marrow Fluid in the vat right now was tens of thousands of times greater than that. The stacking of its icy intensity had reached a terrifying level.

Even though he urged his Qi and blood to resist immediately, the skin all over his body still began to turn a pale, bluish-white color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His Qi and blood circulation could not resist the invasion of the Cold Marrow Fluid's chill. "My lord, I am going to begin."

"Good."

Kong Zhao Qifeng stood up, and with a thought from Lin Chen, the Martial Way Seal he held in his hand began to hover above his head.

On the steps of Mount Wudao.

Lin Chen took a deep breath and directly chose to exchange for one hundred wisps of Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire.

Three breaths later.

The temperature of the arena soared to a terrifying degree in an instant; Lin Chen could even smell the burnt scent of his own hair singeing.

One hundred wisps of flames intertwined into a thunder-fire net hanging above the steps. Lin Chen stared at the hundred wisps of flames above his head. After taking a deep breath, he pushed his Nine Turn Organ Cultivation technique to the limit, then slowly reached out his right hand to grab one end of the thunder-fire net.

The moment the bone-scorching pain struck from his fingertips, Lin Chen let out a fierce roar and then pulled the flames directly into his mouth.

This time, the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire he had to absorb was not one wisp, but one hundred. As the thunder fire was continuously inhaled, his entire throat felt like it was being flooded by a torrent of red gold. Wherever it passed, his meridians were charred and carbonized, and thirty percent of his Qi and blood evaporated in that instant.

His originally lustrous skin slackened and aged in that instant.

The thunder-fire energy exploded in his dantian; the rumbling of thunder and the ravaging of earthly fire intertwined. Lin Chen's seven orifices bled, and he bit his teeth together tightly. At the moment his consciousness was about to dissipate, he moved his mind and exited Mount Wudao.

Hum!

When they saw Lin Chen's body trembling in the bronze vat, causing even the vat itself to shake, everyone in the courtyard became nervous.

Even Kong Zhao Qifeng and Hua Qianwu were no exception.

A First-Rank martial artist and a Second-Rank martial artist—the two of them had never imagined that one day they would feel anxious because of the breakthrough of a teenager at the Organ Cultivation stage.

Inside the vat, dense bubbles appeared on the surface of the Cold Marrow Fluid, and steaming mist began to rise from the vat. There was a look of worry on Jiang Qing's face; she already knew that the technique Lin Shidi practiced for the Organ Cultivation stage was different from theirs. It required nine turns in total, and every breakthrough of a turn required enduring terrifying pain.

"Shidi, you must hold on."

The mist obscured Lin Chen's figure, but the suppressed roars of pain transmitted out from time to time, and every time they did, Jiang Qing's delicate body would tremble.

Liang Xun also had goosebumps all over his body at this moment. He had practiced the Nine Turn Organ Cultivation technique himself; he didn't even want to recall the pain of the third turn, and he didn't even dare to think about the pain of the eighth and ninth turns.

Amidst the mist of the bronze vat, Lin Chen opened his eyes, which were filled with bloodshot veins. After the Cold Marrow Fluid crazily surged into his cracked pores, the thunder-fire energy in his body was finally somewhat controlled, surging from his meridians toward his dantian and his five internal organs.

The energy of the Cold Marrow Fluid was the same, also beginning to gather toward his five internal organs. Under the pincer attack of the ice and fire energies, his five internal organs emitted crisp sounds like shattering glass.

He clearly perceived his heart being wrapped by thunder patterns and contracting to the size of a walnut, then expanding like a drum in the Nirvana fire. His heart was like this, his liver and gallbladder were like this, and his two kidneys were the same.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth. At this moment, Qi and blood were constantly surging out from the acupoints all over his body to supply his five internal organs and six viscera. These Qi and blood flowed through his five internal organs, preventing them from shattering under the collision of the two energies.

But the pain did not diminish in the slightest.

Even though he had already used 【Medicine Jar Sick Body】, this pain still far exceeded any previous time.

"Hold on. You've endured such pain before; if you can't hold on now, all previous efforts will be wasted."

Lin Chen bit his teeth tightly, his mind recalling everything he had experienced since coming to this world.

From knowing that the Martial Way existed in this world, to being able to enter the Martial Hall, catching fish in the river, doing odd jobs...

To save silver, he could only go to the cafeteria every day to scoop a ladle of the leftover beef soup from other students, and even had to endure the mockery in the eyes of other students.

Working and studying...

Later entering the Martial Hall, and being looked down upon by the Qingfeng Martial Hall...

These scenes of experience surfaced in his mind...

To get to where he was today, how much suffering had he endured?

The suffering in front of others went without saying, but how many times had he practiced diligently while others were asleep?

From choosing the path of the Extreme Martial Way, choosing the path of body forging, choosing the Nine Turn True Blood Organ Cultivation...

It wasn't that he was willing to suffer, but he knew that if he wanted to catch up to those children of the powerful and wealthy in the Martial Way, this was the only path he could take.

If he hadn't chosen the path of the Extreme Martial Way, hadn't chosen the path of body forging, and hadn't chosen the Nine Turn True Blood Organ Cultivation technique, Lord Kong wouldn't have cared about him so much.

From the moment he learned about the Martial Way situation in Daliang, he knew what kind of Martial Way path he should take.

Without a background, without a backer, if he wanted to obtain more Martial Way resources, he could only reveal his potential, and there was no better way to show his potential than by practicing the most difficult Martial Way path.

Walking the path of the Extreme Martial Way, leaving his name on Mount Wudao seven times.

And upon entering the Organ Cultivation stage, choosing the Nine Turn True Blood Organ Cultivation had the same purpose.

But if he had been born into a powerful family, how could Martial Way cultivation be this arduous?

Now, at the final moment, the true moment of defying heaven and changing his fate, he absolutely could not give up.
