Chapter 8, Transformation and Renewal
The surface of the Xisui Dan glows with a faint green sheen. Li Yang deliberately turned off the lights in the secret chamber, and instantly the Xisui Dan appeared as if it were a luminous pearl, so captivating.
At this moment, all of Li Yang's internal energy was concentrated around his heart meridian, protecting it. Although his internal energy was limited, it was sufficient to safeguard that small heart meridian. Moreover, Li Yang's internal energy recovery speed was astonishing, so he was not at all worried about insufficient internal energy. This was the effect of Li Yang's initial three-hour effort to infuse 3,000 flying knives with internal energy.
At this moment, on the top floor of the Rainbright Building
Li Yang sat cross-legged on the mat, slowly opening the jade box. A wave of fragrance immediately spread throughout the air. Li Yang took a deep breath, feeling as if every pore in his body had opened up; the sensation was truly exquisite.
Ah—ah—" Li Yang shouted to the sky, a wild roar, as if he were releasing all the repression and pressure he had been carrying inside him in one go
In the past, Li Yang's energy was weak; he was constantly burdened by immense pressure for his future life with Jiang Xue
Upon hearing this, Chu Tianyu's eyes immediately lit up, and the anger he had just felt completely vanished
The elixir emanating a fragrant aroma and possessing a faint green luster within the jade box is actually the Washing Marrow Pill
The Xisui Dan dissolves instantly upon entering the mouth, and immediately, streams of clear energy begin to flow into every part of the body
"Unless that person who absorbed the marrow-cleansing pill is a practitioner of the demonic path, only then will my demonic power not harm him. However, Japan is 'his' territory, and neither practitioners of the demonic path nor cultivators can enter. Moreover, 'he' would never lower himself to teach the Japanese how to practice demonic arts! Therefore, this Japanese person using the marrow-cleansing pill is undoubtedly doomed!" Chu Tianshang firmly asserted
The power of demonic energy is something only cultivators can withstand. Hmph, how could those Japanese ninjas and the most basic samurai possibly endure such demonic energy? Regardless of who it is, once they absorb the demonic energy, it will completely infiltrate their mind. When they cultivate, it will surely lead them to madness!" Chu Tianyu looked at his elder brother and said, "Elder brother, anyone who consumes the Cleansing Marrow Pill will go mad once they begin to cultivate. The consequences can range from paralysis to immediate death! No matter who it is, as long as they absorb the demonic energy, it will completely infiltrate their mind. When they cultivate, it will surely lead them to madness!" Chu Tianyu looked at his elder brother and said, "Elder brother, anyone who consumes the Cleansing Marrow Pill will go mad once they begin to cultivate. The consequences can range from paralysis to immediate death! I estimate that those Japanese won't even realize it was due to the Cleansing Marrow Pill; they will surely think that the person died from a lack of mental fortitude during cultivation!"
Chu Tianyu appeared to be a refined gentleman, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and having a somewhat slender build. He was known for his good temper, always treating his subordinates with a smile. However, the good-natured Chu Tianyu was now very angry
Such a shock, if no one uses internal energy to protect the heart meridian, it will surely result in the heart meridian being severed, leading to immediate death
Absolutely not, once I am with Xue, I can never die early in a mission, leaving her alone in loneliness and sorrow. I must enhance my strength to ensure my survival in every mission! I want the days spent with her to be even longer... Li Yang looked ahead with determination in his eyes, and he also ceased his earlier outburst of rage.
Because he just discovered a note inside the jade box. A note explaining how to take the Xisui Dan and how to fully utilize its effects
A single Washing Marrow Pill is nothing to a powerful sect like the Yin Sha Sect! The reason Chu Tianyu is angry is that his elder brother gave the Washing Marrow Pill to the Japanese. Now, however, he finds himself admiring his elder brother.
Elder brother! A loud shout echoed throughout this top floor
His meridian issues have been resolved
The Security Bureau Group 9 has specifically constructed ten independent chambers within the base. Since practicing internal martial arts is most susceptible to disturbances, these chambers are all equipped with iris locks, allowing access exclusively to one individual.
Ah, my meridian issue has finally been resolved!" Li Yang suddenly sprang up from the mat and shouted loudly.
He is about to take the Xisui Dan
Jiang Xue entered his life, increasing his stress. To live with Jiang Xue, he must join the Security Bureau's Group 11. With his exceptional knife-throwing skills, he is capable of entering this group. But what comes next? It is important to note that only tasks that cannot be completed by the Security Bureau's Group 9 will require the experts from Group 11 to take action
Chu Tianshang couldn't help but smile wryly, then calmly said: "Tian Yu, I did give the Japanese a cleansing elixir, but I forgot to mention one thing to you: I infused the elixir with the pure demonic power of my Demon Sect." Chu Tianshang spoke lightly, as if he were merely explaining an ordinary matter.
The clear stream suddenly transformed into a rushing river, while Li Yang's meridians were merely akin to a dried-up ditch. In an instant, the powerful medicinal force surged through Li Yang's meridians like a wild torrent.
He has undergone a complete transformation, with his muscles, bones, and meridians being in a better condition than those of an ordinary practitioner of internal cultivation
A dragon trapped in shallow waters, once it rises and ascends to the heavens of literature, it will surely turn rivers and seas upside down, soaring through the nine skies! Who can still limit the future of Li Yang, who has undergone a transformation?
Chutian Shang furrowed his brow at once, glancing at his younger brother Chutian Yu who had just entered, and then waved his hand to dismiss the several female celebrities.
"What is the matter with all this shouting? What kind of decorum is this?" Chutian lightly reprimanded.
The Chu family's background is substantial, and their backing is none other than the Yin Sha Sect, one of the three major demonic sects in the realm of cultivation
Once the issue of meridian shaping is resolved, can Li Yang's future achievements still be limited
Isn't it just a cleansing pill? Why make such a fuss over it!" Chu Tianshang glanced at his younger brother, a hint of inscrutable amusement appearing at the corner of his mouth
Finally, the medicinal power of the Washing Marrow Pill within Li Yang gradually eased. Much of the medicinal essence had been absorbed by the muscles, bones, and meridians in his body. The meridians throughout Li Yang's body had completely transformed, evolving from a parched small ditch into a broad river channel.
Secret Room
The reputation of the Washing Marrow Pill is indeed well-deserved; it seems that only those legendary cultivators can refine it! Li Yang carefully examined the Washing Marrow Pill within the jade box
He succeeded
Is Li Yang willing to leave Jiang Xue? Can he bear to let Jiang Xue live alone in sadness in the future?
... ...
At this moment, Li Yang was sitting cross-legged on a mat, his upper body bare, slowly placing the translucent and fragrant cleansing elixir, resembling a luminous pearl, into his mouth
"Elder brother, why didn't you say so earlier! Haha, elder brother, you truly deserve to be the foremost disciple among the current generation of the Yin Sha Sect; this move is brilliant!" Chu Tianyu felt a surge of joy in his heart
Chutian slowly stood up and walked to the edge of the 98th floor, gazing down at Shanghai through the large floor-to-ceiling windows
The most important thing for a mortal is the heart pulse
Snow, wait for me, I will definitely enhance my strength, for I am prepared to grow old with you. Those A-level tasks and even higher-level tasks, I will surely complete them perfectly in the future, without any unexpected occurrences! Li Yang is filled with confidence! That is confidence in his future abilities!
The dark red energy surged upwards, directly penetrating Li Yang's mind
It seemed that a sound had just echoed in my mind. Li Yang felt somewhat uncertain, as that sound had faintly emerged and then vanished.
Chutian Yu showed no regard for Chutian Shang, standing motionless at the side
Entering Security Bureau Group 11, the subsequent tasks, even the lowest level, are classified as A-level tasks! With Li Yang's energy of less than 100 crystals, relying on the flying knife technique, success may be possible once or twice, but after all, the enemies are super experts with thousands of crystals. If he fails, it will be the end for him! He will no longer be able to be with Jiang Xue.
The root cause lies in his fixed meridians
Hmph, even in death, it appears to be a case of obsession. Who knows if it is due to our cleansing elixir? Those Japanese devils do not possess the strength to discern the fundamental cause. Chu Tianshang coldly smiled; he truly had never regarded any of the Japanese as formidable experts.
At that time, the top expert of the "Dragon Tooth" ace team arrived at the Security Bureau's Group 9, yet he was the one with the lowest skill level. After two years of repression, the fixed state of his meridians became a significant barrier to his improvement in strength. Even after he trained desperately for fifteen hours a day, including physical training, his energy only reached around 80 crystals. In contrast, among the other team members, the one with the lowest energy was Tian Lin. Tian Lin usually spent his time frivolously and did not take his training seriously, only meeting the minimum requirement of six hours a day. However, due to his early practice of internal energy cultivation, he had already achieved over 200 crystals of energy.
Li Yang's meridians, which had become rigid, resembled a dried-up riverbed, while the pure flow transformed by the Washing Marrow Pill was akin to a clear spring. Streams of clear water flowed through the desiccated riverbed, and immediately, Li Yang's meridians began to continuously absorb this 'pure flow'. Li Yang distinctly felt the elasticity and vitality of the meridians within his body starting to increase
Iris, identity, compatibility! As the electronic sound echoed, the door made of a new type of alloy in the secret chamber slowly opened. Li Yang immediately stepped inside
The person using the Washing Marrow Pill must be a high-ranking individual from Japan. Not only did one Washing Marrow Pill eliminate such a high-ranking figure, but it also secured a deal worth one billion US dollars. This transaction is indeed quite profitable! Chu Tianyu looked at his elder brother, his gaze filled with a hint of admiration
Elder brother, I have heard that you gave a cleansing pill to the Japanese, and it was for a business deal? I hope you can provide an explanation, as I believe the family elders would also wish for you to clarify this matter.
2. If an adult whose meridians have already formed takes the Xisui Dan, it is sufficient to find a practitioner of internal martial arts at the postnatal level to ensure the protection of the heart meridian. Of course, if an adult with established meridians possesses some internal energy, then there will be no issues.
After Li Yang returned to his villa, he immediately entered the base through the elevator in the bathroom
As the influx of pure energy entering the body increases, the potency of the Washing Marrow Pill and the medicinal power of the illustrated book also accumulate more and more. The potency of the Washing Marrow Pill is truly overwhelming; in an instant, it feels as if a dam has burst, unleashing a torrent of water... The powerful effects of the Washing Marrow Pill have completely erupted...
Li Yang carefully read the note, which mainly outlined the precautions to be taken when using the cleansing marrow pill
However, Li Yang did not notice that when the cleansing elixir just entered his body, a surge of dark red energy also rushed into him. This dark red energy far surpassed his internal strength in terms of level, and Li Yang's meager power was completely unable to sense it
Crack ... ... repair ... ... ... crack ... ... repair ... ...
The 98th floor has a vast area, yet this expansive space is merely an oversized room, serving as the activity room or office of Chu Tianshang, the chairman of the Yuming Group. This space is equipped with numerous fitness equipment and also features a modest swimming pool
The lowest member of the Xingluo base is nearly three times taller than him
In Li Yang's private secret chamber
Li Yang immediately became excited upon seeing it: "Isn't this just perfect for me? Although my internal strength is not very strong now, I have at least been practicing for two years, and I have reached the first level of internal skills. Most importantly, my physical body has been trained to be very strong, so I believe that no matter how potent the medicinal effect is, my body will still be able to withstand it!" Li Yang looked at the cleansing marrow pill before him, which resembled a luminous pearl, and his heart began to race.
1. If a person with naturally blocked meridians takes Xisui Dan, it is essential to have a practitioner of innate level to assist in protecting the heart meridian; otherwise, due to the potent medicinal properties of Xisui Dan, a person with naturally blocked meridians will certainly be unable to withstand the impact of the medicine's power
Pressure, immense pressure
However, he no longer thinks so now
Li Yang suddenly opened his eyes: "Laughter?"
Chutian has gained some weight, appearing a bit plump, yet there is a warmth about him that makes those who are close to him feel a sense of intimacy
At the same time, every part of Li Yang's body, including muscles, tendons, and bones, began to absorb the medicinal power of the Washing Marrow Pill. The muscles became more vigorous, their potential increased, and the vitality of the tendons and bones was also enhanced
Haha ... ... the faint sound of laughter echoed deep within Li Yang's mind, but gradually faded away ... ...
The headquarters of Shanghai Yuming Group, Yuming Building, stands at a height of 98 stories and was completed two years ago
--------------------------------
At this moment, the chairman of Rainbright Group, Chu Tianshang, was reclining in a lounge chair, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. He was watching the several enchanting female celebrities in the swimming pool. While these celebrities might appear very proud in public, they were doing everything they could to please Chu Tianshang.
Chutian Yu immediately spoke in a serious tone: "Although my Chu family practices the demonic path, we are completely resolute when it comes to dealing with the Japanese. Have you forgotten the humiliation we faced during the War of Resistance? Now you actually give the marrow-cleansing pill to the Japanese. Hmph! If you do not clarify this matter today, I, Chutian Yu, will truly report this to the elders."
Under the powerful impact of the medicinal force, Li Yang's meridians gained vitality and elasticity due to the initial absorption of the medicinal power, thus beginning to slowly expand. However, the expansion was limited; the duration of medicinal absorption was too short to significantly enhance vitality. Consequently, the meridians began to sustain damage.
However, now everything has been resolved because of the emergence of the cleansing elixir
His meridians are now more resilient and broader than those of Hei Yan and others, having undergone a complete transformation! In the future, his internal cultivation will surely progress by leaps and bounds, and an increase in strength is just around the corner
Unable to withstand the impact, the meridians began to develop cracks slowly. In that very moment, the potency of the Cleansing Elixir helped the meridians to recover once again, while the force of the Cleansing Elixir itself caused the meridians to rupture. Yet, the potency of the Cleansing Elixir was what repaired them once more
Suddenly, the dark-colored stone that Li Yang had been carrying close to him flashed with a red light, and a faint glow instantly surged into Li Yang's body, directly rushing towards his mind. At the same time, the black stone that Li Yang had been carrying transformed into stone powder, scattering and flying across the ground
The mind is in a state of ethereal clarity, allowing a measure of lucidity to control internal energy and protect the heart meridian, while everything else is entrusted to the powerful and miraculous effects of the cleansing elixir.
Chutian looked at the stubborn Chutianyu with a slight smile, extending his hand to point at the nearby lounge chair and said, "Please take a seat first, and we will talk slowly."
Li Yang felt the flow of internal energy through his meridians, experiencing the broadness and resilience of the pathways. A subtle sense of unreality washed over him, accompanied by a faint feeling of dizziness.
Perhaps it is just my illusion, but it seems that I have... completely transformed and resolved the issue of defining my meridians. At this moment, Li Yang suddenly realized something—he had indeed undergone a complete transformation
The issue that had been the greatest obstacle to Li Yang's improvement in strength has finally been resolved
In the secret chamber, there are some food items to satisfy hunger, as well as mineral water and other provisions, all prepared by the Security Bureau's Group 9 for the members to cultivate their internal skills in seclusion. The benefits of seclusion are numerous; however, for Li Yang, internal skills are essentially of little value, and seclusion does not yield significant results.
