Chapter 302: Vein Refining Middle Stage

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

All two hundred portions of medicinal herbs had been refined by Lu Yu into finished Blood Qi Pills.

A total of two thousand Blood Qi Pills were refined, among which there were over two hundred and twenty Superior Blood Qi Pills, slightly more than the one-tenth probability.

Lu Yu kept ten bottles, and the rest were all used to increase his Potential Points; at this moment, the Potential Points had reached a staggering 260 million!

"Hoo..." He stretched and loosened his muscles and bones.

It was finally a complete success.

Although the process of refining pills was dull and tedious, the harvest was truly gratifying.

With over 200 million Potential Points, using them to open up the fourth meridian would certainly be more than enough.

Perhaps there was even a possibility of opening the fifth meridian?

However, the sixth meridian would likely be difficult.

"Next, it is time to charge at the meridians." A hint of anticipation appeared in Lu Yu's eyes as he looked at the attribute panel:

Realm: Vein Refining Initial Stage

True Qi: 1395/930

With a thought, 6 million Potential Points were added.

In an instant, a surge of True Qi, like a rushing great river, surged within his body, unstoppably breaking through the first acupoint of the fourth meridian.

【Consumed 6 million Potential Points, opened the Yin Qiao Vessel Rangu Acupoint】

【True Qi value increased by 40 points】

【Constitution increased by 12 points】

【Strength increased by 11 points】

【Agility increased by 10 points】

A few lines of information immediately appeared in his mind.

"40 points of Origin True Qi." Lu Yu glanced at it; as for the improvement of his physical attributes, it was fairly standard.

He continued to look up, only to see that the Potential Points required to charge the next acupoint had already risen to 6.5 million.

"That's fine." He looked at the massive amount of remaining Potential Points.

Then, another 6.5 million Potential Points were added.

【Consumed 6.5 million Potential Points, opened the Yin Qiao Vessel Zhao Hai Acupoint】

【True Qi value increased by 41 points】

【Constitution increased by 13 points】

【Strength increased by 12 points】

【Agility increased by 13 points】

After only a few breaths,

the majestic True Qi arrived before the final acupoint of the Yin Qiao Vessel.

It was conceivable that in the face of such powerful True Qi, this slight obstacle was like paper, failing to hold on for even half a second before being easily broken through.

【Consumed 10 million Potential Points, opened the Yin Qiao Vessel Diji Acupoint】

【True Qi value increased by 48 points】

【Constitution increased by 12 points】

【Strength increased by 11 points】

【Agility increased by 10 points】

At the same time, a few more lines of information appeared:

【Opened the entire Yin Qiao Vessel】

【True Qi increased by 60】

【Constitution increased by 12】

【Strength increased by 15】

【Agility increased by 16】

"The fourth meridian has been opened." Seeing this, a gratified smile appeared on Lu Yu's face.

The Potential Points consumed for the last acupoint were exactly ten million; he did not know if this was a coincidence or if there was another reason.

He looked at the panel again:

Realm: Vein Refining Initial Stage

True Qi: 2079/1386

Not only that, but a plus sign had also appeared after the Realm for the first time in a long while.

"Finally, I can improve my Realm." Lu Yu was filled with emotion, feeling that the journey to get here had truly not been easy.

At the same time, he was full of curiosity: what kind of effect would breaking through bring?

Would it be like before, only improving the four basic physical attributes, or only improving the amount of True Qi, or would it improve both?

After a moment of hesitation, he decided to try breaking through first.

After all, he had many trump cards now, and even if he encountered danger, relying on his keen perception, it would not be difficult to escape.

"Break through?" A line of information appeared in his mind.

Lu Yu chose "Yes" without hesitation.

The next moment, an incomparably familiar feeling struck him instantly.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" The whole world seemed to stand still at this moment, and Lu Yu could only hear the sound of his own heart beating like a drum.

Immediately following this, a massive surge of heat emerged, flowing along the meridians to every corner of his body, strengthening his skin, muscles, and bones, and even his Spirit was strengthened along with them.

He could even feel the True Qi within his body growing continuously.

"Choosing to break through in Realm not only improves various physical attributes, but even the Origin True Qi increases along with it!" Lu Yu widened his eyes in surprise, both shocked and delighted.

This method of breaking through is far more comprehensive than simple body refining or Qi refining.

After three or five seconds, the heat gradually dissipated.

Lu Yu was like someone who had just stepped out of a bath, his entire body soaked through with sweat.

But accompanying this was a feeling of unprecedented power.

Realm: Vein Refining Mid-stage

True Qi: 2495/1663

Level: 28

Constitution: 8,200

Strength: 8,500

Agility: 6,600

Spirit: 156,000

Potential Point: 200,000,000

Experience Value: 2000

After this breakthrough, the Origin True Qi increased from the previous 1386 points to 1663 points, an increase of 20%.

Counting the additional bonus to True Qi from the Cultivation Method, the total amount of True Qi currently in Lu Yu's body is already close to 2500 points.

The four basic attributes below also saw an increase of 20%.

The Spirit attribute value is the highest, having already broken through to over 150,000, which is more than 10 times that of the other three attributes.

The corners of Lu Yu's mouth lifted slightly.

He thought to himself, if he were to unleash the Soul Extinguishing Finger with such massive Mental Power, even a B-Class Awakened would likely find it hard to parry, right?

It is just unclear whether the Soul Extinguishing Finger is effective against Fierce Beasts.

Or perhaps, if it is ineffective against Low-level Fierce Beasts, what about against Advanced Fierce Beasts?

It is said that those Commander-level Fierce Beasts all possess intelligence and can think like humans; viewed this way, perhaps mental attacks could also have an effect on them?

Lu Yu nodded, feeling that he could find an opportunity to test it; of course, he must act cautiously.

As a Martial Artist, his means of attack were mainly bows and arrows combined with short-range combat, supported by vigorous True Qi.

As an Awakened, he relies on super-high speed and a mental Secret Technique that kills invisibly.

In front of others, unless absolutely necessary, he must never mix them; otherwise, once someone manages to See Through it, there would be trouble.

Looking at the three basic attributes of Constitution, Strength, and Agility, Lu Yu felt quite satisfied.

Take Strength for example: over 8000 points of Strength is over 800 times that of an ordinary person, and his pure muscular strength alone reaches 80,000 jin.

If he adds the bonus from the Martial Skill 【Overlord】, he could easily reach 400,000 to 500,000 jin, which is 200,000 tons of force!

And an average Elite-level Fierce Beast weighs two to three hundred tons; when its speed reaches 1000 meters per second, the impact force generated is only about 200,000 to 300,000 tons.

This means that the power of a punch he unleashes at full force is about the same as the strongest strike of an Elite-level Fierce Beast.

If he were to encounter an Awakened wearing a Protective Shield capable of resisting attacks from an Elite-level Fierce Beast, Lu Yu could shatter the Protective Shield with a few punches!

"It seems I can continue to strengthen my body a bit more," Lu Yu thought to himself.

Currently, the Potential Points required to break through one acupuncture point have already risen to 15 million, while raising his body level to 29 only requires 10 million Potential Points.

Which is more cost-effective is clear at a glance.

With a shift in his mind, he added the ten million Potential Points, while also wanting to see how many Potential Points the next level of strengthening would require.

The familiar heat flowed out from his heart once again.

However, unlike last time, there was no obvious change in the True Qi within his body this time.

A few seconds later, the heat quickly receded.

Level: 29

Constitution: 9,800

Strength: 10,200

Agility: 7,900

Spirit: 187,000

Just like last time, all four basic attributes increased by 20%.

But there was also some not-so-good news: the Potential Points required for the next strengthening directly increased tenfold, from ten million to one hundred million.

"..." Lu Yu smiled bitterly, helpless.

He had originally thought he could strengthen his body a few more times, but looking at the current Potential Points, he could only strengthen it one more time.

And if it continues to develop according to this trend, if he strengthens his body to level 30, wouldn't the required Potential Points be one billion...

"Looking at it this way, breaking through in Realm is more cost-effective."

He stared at the Realm column and pondered.

Then he would just continue to break through in Realm; when the day comes that Qi refining consumes more than one billion Potential Points, he would then turn back to strengthen his body.

Don't look at the limited number of times for strengthening; the base is large.

In the later stages, perhaps one strengthening could bring an increase of tens of thousands of attribute points, which cannot be compared at all to the effects of strengthening at a low level.
