The Transcendence Pill is a golden elixir the size of a fingertip. Huang Lao stated that this time the alchemy was very successful, producing a total of nine elixirs, all of high quality. It can be said that this is his most successful alchemy in recent years.
The Transcendence Pill is specifically used for breakthroughs; only one is needed at a time, and more would be useless. Therefore, Lufan distributed seven of them to Duanmu Xue and the other six people, keeping two for himself—one for advancing to the Bone Refinement Realm and the other for future attempts to become a Martial Arts Master.
After distributing the elixirs, Lufan immediately entered seclusion to prepare for his breakthrough.
In the south chamber, Lufan sat cross-legged on a mat in the center of the room, calming his mind and adjusting his state to its peak. Beside him on the floor lay a jade vial containing a Transcendence Pill.
Lufan's breathing was long and delicate, and within him, the Nine Yang Inner Strength was slowly circulating, with his vital energy swaying like ocean tides, restless and eager.
Suddenly, Lufan opened his eyes wide, a flash of light gleaming within them. Everything was ready; both his spirit and body had reached their peak state. Now was the best moment for a breakthrough!
Without further hesitation, Lufan picked up the jade vial, uncorked it, tilted his head back, and let the Transcendence Pill slide into his mouth before swallowing it. He then began to channel his Inner Strength. Soon, a massive surge of medicinal power started to flow from within him, permeating throughout his body. The first effect was to refine his muscles and soft tissues.
As its name suggests, the Transcendence Pill is an elixir that can fundamentally transform a person. Its medicinal power contains immense life force that can repeatedly refine a Martial Cultivator's physical body, allowing them to break through their limits and expand their potential as if being reborn through nirvana.
However, the Transcendence Pill only works on bodies below that of a Martial Arts Master. For those above this level, their bodies have already been developed to an incredible extent; no matter how powerful the Transcendence Pill is, it cannot affect them.
Currently, Lufan is merely a Third-Rank Martial Practitioner. Although he has transformed with True Blood and is much stronger than an ordinary Third-Rank Martial Practitioner, the medicinal power of the Transcendence Pill still has a significant enhancing effect on his body.
Through Lufan's inner perception, he could see that under the continuous refining action of the massive medicinal power from the Transcendence Pill, his bodily cells were being constantly destroyed and then repaired and reorganized by the life force within the medicine, repeating this cycle over and over again.
During this process, Lufan had to maintain a strong will and endure the pain of his body being repeatedly destroyed. Fortunately, his mental fortitude was remarkable, and the current pain had not exceeded his limits.
As he underwent this cycle of destruction and reconstruction, Lufan's body grew stronger at a visibly rapid pace.
This process continued until Lufan's muscles and other areas could no longer be enhanced, seemingly reaching a certain limit. He developed a tolerance to the effects of the medicine and realized that his physical strength had only increased by thirty percent, after which he could no longer improve.
Feeling this, a sense of enlightenment arose within Lufan. No wonder it was said that only one Transcendence Pill was needed; it turned out that once the body reached a certain level of strength, the effects of the Transcendence Pill would no longer be effective.
However, this was just the beginning. As one of the best auxiliary elixirs for a Sixth-Rank Peak Martial Artist striving to become a Martial Arts Master, the Transcendence Pill certainly had more than just this enhancement effect. The previous refining of muscles had only consumed one-tenth of the pill's potency; what followed was the main event. After all, the true efficacy of the Transcendence Pill lay in refining bones!
In other words, now was truly the time to begin Refining Bones.
Guided by Lufan's intent, the medicinal power flowed into his right hand. Then, with a thought, the Nine Yang Inner Strength within his Meridian broke free from its constraints and directly reached his right hand's bones. Together with the medicinal power of the Transcendence Pill, he began Refining Bones!
Hiss!
Refining Bones was completely different from before. Just at the start, Lufan felt a pain ten times worse than what he had experienced earlier. Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and nearly jump up.
Refining Bones meant purifying all the bones in his body like forging iron—removing impurities and remelting them to make them stronger. Of course, this process required enduring immense suffering.
Only by enduring the trials and tribulations could one achieve Vajra-like bones!
Especially since once Refining Bones began, it could not be stopped. He had to refine all two hundred and six bones in one go to officially break through to the Bone Refinement Realm. Therefore, breaking through to the Bone Refinement Realm was impossible without a strong will capable of enduring long periods of pain from Refining Bones.
This is also why there are so many Junior Martial Artists, but so few who can advance to Intermediate Martial Artist. Consider that there are nearly ten thousand Loose Cultivators in Qingyang City, yet there are fewer than ten Martial Cultivators above Fourth Rank. Although there are special reasons related to the group of Loose Cultivators, it still illustrates the difficulty of Refining Bones.
After the initial shock, Lufan quickly stabilized his mind. With a strong will, he pushed aside the pain and focused on Refining Bones.
In his perception, he saw the surface of his hand bones rapidly melting under the dual effects of Nine Yang Inner Strength and the Transcendence Pill. Then, a strand of black impurities was separated from within and expelled from his body.
Lufan carefully controlled his Inner Strength and the medicinal power, gradually refining his bones without daring to be careless.
During the process of Refining Bones, there is a key point: one must not allow their Inner Strength to erode into the bone marrow inside the bones. The bone marrow of a Third-Rank Martial Practitioner is still too fragile; with even a slight mistake, it could be damaged, leading to serious injury.
Fully concentrated, Lufan lost track of time. He did not know how long had passed before he finished refining all the bones in his right arm.
Taking a deep breath, Lufan took a short break before continuing to refine the next area, this time choosing his left hand.
When a Martial Cultivator breaks through to the Bone Refinement Realm, there is still an order in the process of Refining Bones. Generally, one starts with the limbs, then moves to the torso, followed by the spine, and finally the skull. As for the order of refining the limbs, it depends on personal preference. The cultivation methods in the Heavenly Martial World are straightforward and direct.
Time slowly passed as Lufan attempted to break through to the Bone Refinement Realm. Duanmu Xue and others waited in the small courtyard; seven days went by without Lufan emerging from his room.
However, on this day, two special visitors arrived outside Qingyang City. The one walking in front was a young man with a gentle appearance and jade-like demeanor, around thirty years old. Behind him was an elderly man with a weathered face.
Despite the wild beasts that often roamed outside the city, both appeared relaxed as if they were here for leisure, leisurely admiring their surroundings while slowly making their way toward Qingyang City's gates. (To be continued.)
