Chapter 78 Body Refining Technique: Breakthrough to the Third Level!
The next day, Zhou Xun cooked a spiritual fish for breakfast.
Then he started refining the elixir.
Now, as the only top-grade alchemist in Qingyuefang, he has received many alchemy commissions.
If I accept them all, I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the task from morning to night.
So Zhou Xun made a rule: to make one alchemy every day, and if there was any entrustment, he would go to Danhai Pavilion to register on his own.
Zhou Xun refined it according to the commissioned order.
Today, Danhai Pavilion has become the largest alchemy workshop in Qingyuefang.
Zhou Xun is only responsible for supplying high-grade elixirs. As for mid-grade elixirs, Zhou Xun has recruited an old middle-grade alchemist. Although he is older, he has rich experience.
As for the low-grade elixir, he gave it to his cheap apprentice, Zhou Jinsong.
The refining of the elixir was very successful, and five elixirs were produced.
At the level of high-grade elixirs, a maximum of five elixirs can be produced from one material, which is no longer the grand occasion of refining bigu elixirs in the past.
Zhou Xun took out the second batch of materials and prepared to continue refining.
Suddenly someone came to visit outside the cave.
Zhou Xun then stopped refining and came outside the cave.
The person who came to visit was Song Zhishu. Now, the shackles of staying at the fifth level of Qi training for many years have been broken, and he has reached the sixth level of Qi training.
"Brother Song, why do you have time to visit? Please come quickly!" Zhou Xun enthusiastically invited.
In these years, Song Zhishu, in addition to serving as the rental manager, was also responsible for the liaison between Zhou Xun and the Song family.
“It’s a good thing that I’m here!” Song Zhishu unfolded the folding fan in his hand, showing his elegant temperament.
“Could it be that there is news about Phantom Spirit Sand?”
Zhou Xun had previously asked Song Zhishu to help pay attention to the phantom spirit sand.
"Hahaha, your guess is wrong. It's not that there is news, but that I have already bought it!" Song Zhishu laughed, then patted the storage bag, took out a fist-sized jade box, and placed it In front of Zhou Xun.
Zhou Xun quickly took the jade box and opened it to take a look.
A box full of phantom spirit sand, Zhou Xun weighed it in his hand, there were seven taels in total.
It is enough for him to break through the third level of the Hundred Meridians Body Refining Technique.
"How many spirit stones?" Zhou Xun raised his head and asked.
"The Phantom Spirit Sand sells for one hundred and fifty spirit stones per tael. We purchased a lot of it and only spent one thousand spirit stones!" Song Zhishu said.
Zhou Xun nodded, then took out a thousand spirit stones from the storage bag and handed it to Song Zhishu.
He earned it all by refining elixirs in the past two years.
Now I spent most of it at once.
However, Zhou Xun didn't feel bad at all. After all, he earned spiritual stones and resources in order to turn them into cultivation and strength.
“The alchemist is indeed rich!” Song Zhishu couldn’t help but feel envious when he saw Zhou Xun take out a thousand spiritual stones without blinking.
"I earn hard-earned money, how can I be like you, Brother Song!" Zhou Xun shook his head.
Now Song Zhishu's monthly salary has increased to 20 spirit stones, which is no less than that of the elders of the Song family who are in the later stage of Qi training.
Coupled with the salary and benefits brought by the position of rental manager, my life is extremely smooth.
After chatting for a while, Song Zhishu excused himself and left.
Zhou Xun asked him to buy the Phantom Sand, which will definitely be of great use. Now that the treasure is in hand, he can’t wait to use it.
Sure enough, after Song Zhishu left, Zhou Xun opened all the cave formations, then entered the quiet room and started retreat.
With the phantom spirit sand in hand, all the auxiliary items needed to break through the third level of "Hundred Meridians Body Refining Technique" have been collected.
Zhou Xun ground all the materials into powder according to the formula on the Body Refining Technique, and then added the spiritual liquid.
Mix it into a special ointment and fill a jar full of it.
This jar of ointment to assist in practicing physical techniques cost him at least 1,500 spirit stones.
The ointment is bronze in color and faintly exudes spiritual power fluctuations.
Zhou Xun came to the quiet room carrying ointment. He took off his clothes and applied ointment all over his body.
Then run the third level formula of "Hundred Meridians Body Refining Technique".
As the technique was running, Zhou Xun's skin glowed with cyan crystal light. He could feel faint energy radiating from the ointment, and then absorbed by the body through the skin.
As time goes by, the ointment slowly fades. This is because the essence inside is constantly being absorbed.
After one day, the ointment completely faded and dried up, and fell off Zhou Xun's body automatically.
Zhou Xun applied the ointment all over his body again and continued to operate the magic formula.
Breakthroughs in body refining are not achieved overnight, but are a slow growth process. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
Just like this, over and over again, a total of twenty-four times.
Zhou Xun's body has a faint bronze luster, and from the outside, it looks like a bronze statue.
At this time, Zhou Xun slowly opened his eyes, and the bronze luster gradually faded away. Zhou Xun's skin color returned to normal, becoming fairer than before.
There is also a faint aura of being out of the dust.
"Finally broke through to the third level!"
Feeling the strength of his body, Zhou Xun was satisfied. This level of strength is comparable to a first-level high-grade monster!
At this time, his physical training level corresponds to the late stage of qi training!
It has surpassed his mana cultivation level!
Such a rapid progress, if replaced by mana cultivation, it can be called a genius.
And after breaking through to the third level, his meridians began to be tempered.
The first two levels of the "Hundred Meridians Body Refining Technique" do not involve the tempering of meridians, so Zhou Xun has not yet realized the addition of body refining to mana cultivation.
Now that he has achieved a breakthrough, Zhou Xun clearly feels that his magic power is running more smoothly.
At the same time, the amount of mana that can be stored in the body has also increased, and it will last longer when facing enemies in the future.
Zhou Xun took out a low-grade long knife to attack the magic weapon. This was the trophy he got when he killed the Wei brothers.
Holding the magic weapon, he slowly injected the magic power, and then lightly cut his arm.
"Squeak——"
A sharp sound of metal friction came out, but Zhou Xun's arm was unscathed.
With Zhou Xun's current mana, he can control low-grade magic weapons, and ordinary mid-grade monsters can hardly resist it.
Then Zhou Xun took out his middle-grade magical weapon, the Golden Clam Mother Blade.
Inspired, held in hand.
He stabbed his arm gently.
“Ding——”
A shallow white mark appeared on Zhou Xun’s arm.
Only the top layer of skin is damaged.
You must know that Zhou Xun's golden clam blade is made of top-grade materials.
In terms of sharpness, it is no less sharp than a top-grade magical weapon.
It’s just that the power is slightly worse.
Looking at the white mark on his arm, Zhou Xun fell into deep thought.
“This kind of physique seems to be much stronger than the physique of a first-order high-grade monster!”
Zhou Xun guessed that this was the effect brought about by the Hundred Meridians Body Refining Technique. After all, he had never heard of a Body Refining Technique that could temper meridians before.
Such rare techniques are naturally more effective than ordinary body training techniques.
This test gave Zhou Xun a more intuitive understanding of his own strength.
Now, with his physical body alone, Zhou Xun can suppress ordinary monks in the late stages of Qi training.
Including his magic power cultivation, his overall strength is no less than that of a peak Qi training monk.
If he meets Wu Zongxu (the head of the Wu family's law enforcement hall!) again, Zhou Xun is confident of confronting him head-on!
This kind of strength finally gave Zhou Xun a sense of security.
