Chapter 118: Breaking through the Marrow Realm

Chapter 118 – Breaking through the Marrow Realm

“Alchemy?” Ge Hongjie sought Chen Fei’s opinion.

“Refine the Dan!” Chen Fei nodded his head, the sooner the Guile Bead was refined, the less energy would be shed, so Chen Fei naturally had no reason to give up this good thing.

“Alright, I’ll go borrow the Dan furnace. Forget it, I’ll just buy that Dan furnace directly to save myself from borrowing it all the time.” Ge Hongjie laughed loudly and turned around to walk towards the other fellow disciples.

“I’ll go buy herbs.” Mu Langtao positively said, the success rate of the Ever Floating Dan he had refined was very low, but he still knew what medicinal ingredients were needed.

Mu Langtao more or less felt that he, today, was a bit of a dabbler, thus doing these chores, appeared to be very active.

The truth is that today’s harvest is too big, so that Mu Langtao has a kind of unreal feeling, afraid that he was kicked out of this team, then when the time comes is to cry without tears.

Chen Fei and Zhang Fangqiong raised the bonfire, the firewood made a crackling sound, and the surroundings slowly became warm.

“Senior Brother Chen, are you married?” Zhang Fangqiong looked at Chen Fei and suddenly asked.

“Not yet.”

Chen Fei was stunned and looked up at Zhang Fangqiong. Under the firelight imprint, Zhang Fangqiong’s bright appearance was hidden, and because of her years of martial arts training, her body was even more slender and delicate.

Zhang Fangqiong was around thirty, this age in this world, among ordinary people belonged to a relatively large, but among martial artists, it was extremely normal.

And to Chen Fei’s eyes in his last life, this age is the most charming stage among women. Without the youthfulness of a little girl, there is more of a woman’s unique softness and charm.

“No fancy?” Zhang Fangqiong looked up at Chen Fei, with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

“Cultivation is insufficient, still working on improving.” Chen Fei said with a smile.

“The Calcined Bone Realm is a bit weaker, but with Senior Brother Chen’s skills, his cultivation progress is just a matter of time. Especially with the next Yuan Qi infusion, Senior Brother Chen should be able to break through to the Marrow Realm very soon, and in the future, the Viscera Realm is also just around the corner.”

Zhang Fangqiong wasn’t exaggerating, this kind of Yuan Qi constantly flushing through the body, even for the disciples of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect, there weren’t many who had this kind of treatment.

And now in this bizarre realm, a few of them were enjoying it.

Chen Fei was now at the Calcined Bone Realm, and the Guile Realm’s Yuan Qi continually washing over it would, to a certain extent, enhance the martial artist’s bones, and his future cultivation would become much smoother.

“Borrow senior sister’s auspicious words.” Chen Fei arched his hand and said.

“Between you and me, there is no need to be so polite.”

Zhang Fangqiong said with a smiling face, and just as she was about to speak, she realized that Mu Langtao had returned with a face full of excitement. Zhang Fangqiong couldn’t help but roll her eyes to Mu Langtao, who blinked, not knowing what had happened.

A few moments later, Ge Hongjie returned, already carrying a dan furnace in his hand.

“Senior Brother Ge, how much is this, I’ll give it to you.” Chen Fei asked as he took the dan furnace.

“How much can a dan furnace cost, Senior Brother Chen is polite.”

Ge Hongjie hurriedly waved his hand, everyone had a share of the refined elixir, charging Chen Fei money at this time, Ge Hongjie didn’t have to lose his mind.

Chen Fei smiled and did not force himself. After checking the dan furnace, Chen Fei set it up on the campfire.

“Can I just throw two Guile Beads in?” Chen Fei raised his head and asked.

“It seems like it’s possible, but the difficulty of refining it will be much, much greater than one Guile Bead.” Ge Hongjie thought for a moment and said.

“Will the potency change then?”

“Yes, the effect can be enhanced a lot, and it is estimated that it can approach the medicinal properties of a hundred year old herb.”

“Then let’s try it!”

Chen Fei’s eyes brightened slightly, two fifty year old herbs were worth far less than one hundred year old herb. If by adding two Guile Beads, it could be enhanced to the medicinal properties of a hundred year old herb, then there was nothing to hesitate about.

As for the difficulty, the Ever Floating Dan had long been cultivated by Chen Fei to the point of great perfection, where there was no way to advance. Just the enhancement of the medicinal properties, although troublesome, would not add much difficulty to Chen Fei.

However, under caution and for the first time, Chen Fei still removed the Dan furnace from the campfire and used a small fire to burn the furnace.

When Ge Hongjie and the three of them saw Chen Fei using a small fire, they somehow couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. The scene of that bonfire refining dan was more or less scary.

A few moments later, a slight medicinal fragrance wafted out, but after a while, the fragrance disappeared again, and the entire furnace was trembling slightly.

Chen Fei’s expression was unmoving, the addition of the two trick beads had indeed made the conflict of medicinal properties a lot more intense, but fortunately, it was all still under Chen Fei’s control.

With the passage of time, the tremor of the furnace began to slow down, and finally gradually stopped.

Chen Fei slapped his palm on the lid of the furnace, a refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out, Chen Fei stretched his head to take a look, his expression moved slightly, this Ever Floating Dan had changed a little bit more compared to yesterday’s.

“How many?” Mu Langtao asked nervously.

If the number of pills was small, I’m afraid there would be no part for him, this point of self-awareness, Mu Langtao still had.

“Still five.”

Chen Fei smiled faintly and took out the Ever Floating Dan in the Dan furnace one by one and placed them in the middle of the jade box.

“It’s still the same distribution as yesterday.” Ge Hongjie glanced at the two Zhang Fangqiong, who naturally had no opinion and each took one away.

Chen Fei smiled faintly as he picked up an Ever Floating Dan and placed it in front of his eyes, realizing that on the surface of the pill, a hint of lines actually began to appear. This pattern was a bit familiar, Chen Fei casually took out the jade card issued by the Dan Master Alliance, and realized that the pattern on the jade card was actually somewhat similar to the one on the pill.

“It seems that this phenomenon would appear after the successful refining of medicinal herbs that have been used for a long period of time.”

Chen Fei guessed, but if this was the case, he would have to wait and inquire within the Dan Master Alliance afterward to find out.

“You guys take it first.” Ge Hongjie smiled and said.

The three of them, Chen Fei, had no objections and swallowed the elixir directly into their mouths.

This time, the elixir did not melt in their mouths, instead, the entire elixir emitted a heat. The Tong Yuan Gong automatically operated, refining the medicinal power coming out of the pill.

After half an hour, Chen Fei was able to finish refining this Ever Floating Dan. The effect was exceedingly good, compared to yesterday’s Ever Floating Dan, the medicinal power of today’s one was at least three times that of yesterday’s, and even a bit more.

Chen Fei looked at the progress bar of the realm on the panel, it was getting closer and closer to the top.

The entire night was spent in meditation.

Early the next morning, the crowd entered the Guile Realm with high spirits.

With yesterday’s experience, today’s search continued to go very smoothly, and under the whole day, five true nodes were broken, and three false nodes were broken.

The node fragments got another one, and at the same time, they got three trick beads with excellent luck.

As the search deepened, the weirdness within the fake nodes, the abilities began to grow. However, under the tacit cooperation of Chen Fei’s few people, they still easily killed the guile.

On the third day, a record-breaking six real nodes were found, and the four of them were shocked by the Yuan Qi, and their heads were a bit dizzy.

There was still enough time, but the four people no longer dared to absorb any more for fear of becoming the first body refining realm martial artists to be burst because of too much Yuan Qi.

Ge Hongjie and Zhang Fangqiong both looked exuberant, after three days of yuan qi infusing their bodies, the orifices as well as their mind power that had been damaged due to the failure of breaking through the Orifice Practicing Realm had finally fully recovered today.

Now, not only had they recovered, the infusion of Yuan Qi had also made the orifices and mind power go even further.

If they continued at the current pace, after the end of this Guile Realm, they would be able to go back and meditate for a while, and then start preparing to break through the Orifice Practicing Realm again.

Mu Langtao attempted to break through the Viscera Realm on the second night while taking the Ever Floating Dan. In the end, he also succeeded in breaking through without any surprises, and Mu Langtao shouted in excitement.

Meanwhile, the refining of the elixir, at most, attempted to add three Guile Beads and stopped trying. It wasn’t because Chen Fei’s refining caliber was insufficient, but this Dan furnace was already almost unable to withstand it.

With three Guile Beads, the furnace was close to blowing up, and with four, the outcome was definitely doomed. As for the Ever Floating Dan under the three Guile Beads, the dan lines became even more pronounced, and the medicinal power even reached a new stage.

Not only was it easier to be absorbed by the body, the effect was also incredibly good.

And this evening, Chen Fei was preparing to break through the Marrow Training Realm.

The effect of the Yuan Qi Infusion within the Guile Realm was exceedingly good. Chen Fei had thought that he would need some time before he could embark on a breakthrough.

However, under various reasons such as the yuan qi infusion, the Tong Yuan Gong weakening its limits, and the Zhen Dragon Elephant’s strong control over his body, Chen Fei realized that he was this close to the Marrow Training Realm.

The Tong Yuan Gong was running rapidly within Chen Fei’s body, and the internal energy was spread all over his tendons and bones, up and down his circumference.

“Boom!”

At a certain moment, as if it was a vibration in the soul, Chen Fei exerted a slight force, and the internal energy instantly broke through the barrier, and then step by step, it spread all over the bone marrow of his entire body.

A moment later, Chen Fei opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath.

The five senses that had already been strengthened by the Zhen Dragon Elephant were further enhanced at this moment, and Chen Fei even heard the sound of ants and insects crawling dozens of meters away. As far as the eyes could see, the world became more vivid, as if a thin veil had been lifted.

The Body Refining Realm, step by step, developed the potential of the human body, the Viscera Realm had already reached the top, and turned towards the mysterious and esoteric Orifices. Thus, with each advancement in the Body Refining Realm, there would be a noticeable progress.

“Senior Brother Chen, congratulations!” Ge Hongjie arched his hand.

Zhang Fangqiong and Mu Langtao also congratulated Chen Fei, the Marrow Refinement Realm, among the disciples of the Yuan Chen Sword Sect, had already left the ranks of novices, Chen Fei’s Marrow Refinement Realm at his age, although he was not considered to be any kind of a genius, at least he would not be looked down upon.

Chen Fei smiled and arched his hand in return, glancing at a tree dozens of meters away, at the moment a fallen leaf was falling from the tree under the blowing of the night wind.

Chen Fei’s heart moved, his body flashed and disappeared in place, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the edge of the treetop and caught the leaf with one hand.

Chen Fei looked at the texture on the leaf, his right foot gently stepped on the branch, as if the wind was blowing on a willow, and he had already returned to his original place.

After breaking through the Marrow Training Realm, the Soul Chasing Steps, which he was unable to utilize because of his cultivation level, finally showed its true splendor at this moment.

With the bright moon hanging high in the sky, Chen Fei sat cross-legged, summarizing his own martial arts techniques.

[Realm: Marrow Training Realm (37/500000)]

Breaking through the Marrow Training Realm, the experience value requirement did not increase tenfold again, causing Chen Fei to let out a slight sigh of relief. According to the existing conditions, Chen Fei might be able to complete his breakthrough within a year.

If he waited for the Tong Yuan Gong to cultivate to the fifth level, he would be able to continue to shorten the time as the limit was lowered.

And now that he was exploring the Guile Realm, every time he imbued his body with Yuan Qi, he was able to make his internal energy cultivation soar. Chen Fei didn’t think about how long he could stay in the Guile Realm, now he just found a node and absorbed Yuan Qi once.

Because of the breakthrough in cultivation, in addition to the Soul Chasing Steps returning to the speed that this body technique should have, the Starry Night Sword Thorn Sword, was no longer subject to any limitations because of Chen Fei’s own condition.
