Fairy bestows immortality

He had once seen disciples at the first level of Body Refinement sparring, and he was filled with envy, longing to be able to do it himself one day.

However, looking back now, the power of their attacks was far less than his single strike!

"If I were to spar with those disciples who were at the first level of Body Refinement, I'm afraid this one strike would be enough to kill them instantly!"

Su Yun grinned; this powerful feeling was truly wonderful!

"However, it also consumes a lot of spiritual energy."

Overjoyed, he noticed that much of the spiritual energy in his dantian and the first true meridian had been depleted.

"Heaven-rank techniques are incredibly powerful, but they also consume a great deal of energy."

Su Yun pondered.

Fortunately, he cultivated a mid-grade Earth-rank Qi-inducing technique and a body-refining technique; otherwise, if he had cultivated a low-rank or even Yellow-rank technique, he probably wouldn't have been able to cultivate a Heaven-rank technique at all.

Even if one masters it, using it once will instantly drain all the energy in one's body.

After all, the true meridians opened by higher-level cultivation techniques are thicker and can generate and store more spiritual energy, making them inherently stronger than ordinary cultivators.

Su Yun assessed his current strength once more, then pondered slowly.

"It would be great if there were a real-world opportunity to test my skills."

Of course, he didn't want to fight to the death with the others.

If you have the chance, you can go to the Thousand Cloud Mountains outside the sect and train with ferocious beasts.

The Thousand Cloud Mountains are teeming with ferocious beasts, whose strength increases the deeper one ventures, making them an ideal training ground for disciples from the surrounding factions.

"Let's talk about it when we have time."

Su Yun composed himself and returned to the herb garden.

It was late at night, and all was quiet. Elder Sun Wuyan had exhausted his energy refining pills during the day, so he was sleeping soundly.

Su Yun returned to his room, practiced breathing exercises to calm his mind, and prepared to continue his cultivation.

"This Dao Source is truly a wonderful thing. If it weren't for its ability to purify the toxins in pills, I would never have been able to cultivate day and night like this."

If it weren't for the Qi-restoring pill, it would have taken him at least twice as long, or even more, to master the first level of the Dragon Elephant Fighting Fist.

"The establishment of a second true vein should be put on the agenda."

Su Yun set a goal.

Next, I will focus all my efforts on breaking through the second true meridian and enter the second level of body refinement as soon as possible.

"If a menial disciple wants to become a formal disciple, he must first reach the third level of Body Refinement, then participate in the sect's trial, and after passing it, he can become a formal disciple."

"That day shouldn't be too far away."

After becoming a formal disciple, the resources he can obtain will greatly increase, allowing him to access higher levels.

However, it is too early to say that.

Now, he is once again using the Tai Xuan Dragon Body Refining Technique to begin his breakthrough to the second true meridian.

Now, without the worry of lacking Qi-restoring pills, he can immerse himself even more deeply in cultivation.

Before you know it, about half a month has passed.

For the past two weeks, Su Yun has also been cultivating day and night.

The second true meridian has loosened and is almost fully opened. Su Yun has a premonition that he may be able to open it successfully in the near future and step into the second level of body refinement.

……

That morning, after fertilizing the medicinal herbs, Su Yun continued to cultivate in his room.

The surrounding spiritual energy continuously flowed into his body.

Within his dantian, the second true meridian was trembling with vitality.

The next moment, with a hissing sound, the spiritual energy that dominated Su Yun's first true meridian poured in and frantically entered the second true meridian.

Visibly, the second true vein thickened instantly, becoming incredibly resilient, and spiritual energy began to emerge from it, inexhaustible and available for Su Yun's use.

Body Refinement Level Two!

Su Yun was overjoyed. After so long, he had finally reached the second level of Body Refinement.

Soon, the pure energy fed back from the second true meridian slowly extended along the major meridians in his body to his limbs and bones, nourishing and strengthening Su Yun's body.

Soon, a layer of thick, black grime emerged from his pores on the surface of his skin.

The whole process lasted for more than ten minutes before slowly coming to an end.

After everything calmed down, Su Yun opened her eyes.

He raised his arm, slowly clenched his fist, and instantly mobilized the energy of his internal meridians.

"This feeling……"

Su Yun was very excited.

He stepped into a new realm once again, feeling the amazing power contained in his fist. He felt that the weight of his arm when he swung was definitely more than two thousand pounds, far exceeding that number!

"When you break through to the first level of the Earth-rank Body Refining Technique, it's absolutely impossible to only have a strength of one thousand jin."

Su Yun secretly speculated.

However, having never experienced actual combat, he was unsure of his true combat strength.

After sensing the changes in his body, he got up, took a shower, and changed into Zhan Jie's clothes.

After more than half a month, he achieved his goal.

"However, the Qi-restoring pills are almost all used up, and there are not many left."

Su Yun clicked her tongue in amazement.

These Qi-restoring pills are really resource-intensive; in just half a month, he used more than two hundred of them.

If some of the formal disciples of the Qingyun Sect found out, they would be so angry they wouldn't be able to speak.

Even for them, the sect's monthly cultivation resources, even if distributed free of charge, amount to only a few Qi-restoring pills!

Of course, Su Yun wasn't worried. He still had several Xuan-rank cultivation techniques in hand, which he could exchange for Qi-restoring pills at the Treasure Pavilion later.

After taking a shower, Su Yun stepped out of the house and stretched in the morning sun.

I've been cultivating day and night for a long time. Although I have Qi-restoring pills to support me and my body won't have any problems, my mind hasn't been able to relax for a long time.

"Kid, you've broken through again?"

A surprised voice came from not far away.

Sun Wuyan stood in the herb garden not far away, looking at Su Yun in surprise.

Su Yun did not deliberately conceal his aura at this moment, so Sun Wuyan could detect that the aura Su Yun was emitting was the fluctuation of the second level of body refinement.

Moreover, this aura fluctuation was extremely strong, exceeding his understanding of ordinary second-level body refinement martial artists, and even comparable to ordinary third-level body refinement martial artists!

Upon seeing Sun Wuyan in the herb garden, Su Yun chuckled and said, "A lucky breakthrough, a lucky breakthrough."

"You're quite something, kid."

Sun Wuyan was somewhat amazed at this moment.

He remembered that when Su Yun first came to the herb garden, he hadn't even reached the first level of body refinement. In just one or two months, he had actually reached the second level of body refinement!

With such talent for cultivation, surely he shouldn't have been reduced to the status of a menial disciple?

Little did he know that Su Yun was able to break through by drinking Qi-restoring pills like water, and had already consumed nearly three hundred Qi-restoring pills during this period.

This is almost the amount of cultivation resources an ordinary disciple would consume in a year!

"Elder Sun, what's going on?"

Su Yun noticed that Sun Wuyan was in the planting area at this time, watering some kind of spiritual herb.
