Chapter 141 - 140: 300 Years Old

Chapter 141: Chapter 140: 300 Years Old

At this rate, soon after he broke through to the Super Grade realm, his medical skills and Alchemy would also smoothly advance to the levels of Spirit Physician and Spirit Pill Master. Then he could begin to research an antidote for the Heart-devouring Poison.

After breaking through to become a High Level Mortal Physician and High Level Mortal Alchemist, Xia Wuyang’s overall capabilities had improved. He could now treat more difficult and complex illnesses, including most of the ailments that afflicted Martial Artists of the Upper Three Grades.

He could also attempt to refine many High Level Mortal Pills, mastering their creation and making his future Cultivation much more convenient.

His understanding of medicinal properties grew more profound, allowing him to adjust even more Pill Formulas based on specific circumstances.

His skill in using soporifics and Poisons, in particular, had soared. Supplementing his Cultivation and strength, he could now easily deal with large groups of enemies.

If he could get his hands on a Top Level mortal Poison, or even a Spiritual Poison, he might even be able to eliminate an ordinary True Monarch.

By the time dawn arrived, Xia Wuyang had reverted to being the "bedridden" elder Crown Prince. But no one knew what grand ambitions he harbored in his heart.

He spent some time in his usual debauchery, though for a shorter period than before. After all, he was now "physically indisposed." He had already collapsed on top of a woman once; if it happened again, he feared he would be done for.

The Imperial Physician himself had said as much. The "feeble and fearful" elder Crown Prince, despite his lust, could only indulge himself for short periods.

To avoid losing control of himself, Xia Wuyang had no choice but to spend more and more time in the Practice Room. The court beauties were quite supportive of this and didn’t suspect a thing.

And so, Xia Wuyang had even more time for Cultivation.

Even during the day, the Practice Room remained quiet and still. While the outside world believed the elder Crown Prince was resting, he was actually sitting cross-legged, his aura as deep and contained as an abyss, cultivating in peace.

The rumors circulating outside were quite advantageous for him. The court beauties dared not get too close, terrified that the elder Crown Prince might die on top of one of them. The spies from the various palaces also relaxed their surveillance, certain that he was on death’s door.

There was no better time to cultivate.

His Cultivation Foundation was solidifying at an incredible pace. The Dragon Tiger Fist continuously refined his Qi Blood and improved his flexibility, allowing his Qi Blood to flow more freely through his widened meridians and making his overall physical constitution more formidable.

He constantly adjusted the rhythm of his Cultivation, allowing his rapidly strengthening Foundation to merge perfectly with his current Cultivation level.

Under Introspection, his Qi Blood grew even more vigorous and pure. Each cycle faintly emitted the sound of a Dragon’s Roar and Tiger’s Howl. In his hands, the improved Dragon Tiger Fist unleashed a might far surpassing that of others.

The Spiritual Power in his Sea of Consciousness was also increasing steadily. Gaining one point of Spiritual Power every day far outstripped the slow Cultivation of other Martial Artists.

A few days later, Xia Wuyang consumed another Middle Level Miracle Treasure, raising his Cultivation by another notch. Just one more, and he would be able to advance to the Blood Transformation Middle Stage.

When consuming Middle Level Miracle Treasures, their medicinal power was limited. However, with the aid of his Companion Talent Tree Deep Roots, he could solidify his Foundation at an extremely fast rate, allowing him to consume one every few days.

This was unlike when he consumed High Level Miracle Treasures, which required several dozen days of consolidation before he could take the next one.

One after another, he consumed the Middle Level Miracle Treasures. Even with their limited medicinal power, they raised his Cultivation Realm at an astonishing speed. By the time he finished all the Middle Level Miracle Treasures, he would likely advance to the Blood Transformation Late Stage, or even Blood Transformation Perfection. Then, he could start consuming High Level Miracle Treasures and aim for the Super Grade Realm.

Before he knew it, his Spiritual Power had approached 230 points, and he was on the verge of another epiphany.

His Cultivation Foundation had also stabilized, meaning he could consume another Middle Level Miracle Treasure.

The past several days had been peaceful. Even the Palace Attendants in Wenhua Hall had settled down, granting Xia Wuyang more time to focus on his Cultivation.

Each day, he only needed to spend a couple of hours enjoying the company of his beauties and taking his meals. All other time could be devoted to Cultivation, so naturally, his rate of improvement was faster.

Spirit +1!

A new day dawned, and his Spiritual Power increased once more. Xia Wuyang had just consumed a five-hundred-year-old blood ginseng, preparing to use his impending epiphany and another Middle Level Miracle Treasure to break through to the Blood Transformation Middle Stage.

Soon, all sorts of insights flooded his mind, plunging him deep into his Cultivation.

The essential mysteries of the Blood Transformation Realm... The fusion of the blood ginseng’s medicinal power with Qi Blood... The balance between one’s Foundation and breaking through... The optimal moment for a breakthrough... The key to the body’s metamorphosis... The opportunities for enhancement granted by one’s Talent and Qualification...

The medicinal power of the five-hundred-year-old blood ginseng became a tidal wave, surging through his limbs and bones to act directly on the very root of his Qi Blood, a process perfectly suited for Cultivation in the Blood Transformation Realm.

Under the influence of his epiphany, Xia Wuyang’s absorption of the medicinal power reached a state of near perfection.

The medicinal power within the blood ginseng was guided with precision to every inch of his flesh. Spurred on by this power, his Qi Blood underwent a continuous qualitative transformation. His Companion Talent Tree Deep Roots enabled him to absorb the medicinal energy more efficiently, ensuring none was wasted.

Unconsciously, a sound like a great river rushing began to emanate from within Xia Wuyang’s body. He had reached the critical moment to assault the bottleneck.

"Break!"

With a soft cry, the bottleneck to the Blood Transformation Middle Stage shattered in response. The Qi Blood throughout his body began to surge wildly once more, and his overall constitution improved rapidly along with it. Even his Talent and Qualification rose by a degree.

This naturally included his lifespan, which also saw an increase.

Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of a First Grade Grandmaster is about three hundred years. Xia Wuyang’s current lifespan was likely even longer than that of an ordinary First Grade Grandmaster.

With the breakthrough in his Cultivation Realm, every aspect of Xia Wuyang’s being was enhanced.

His body’s toughness increased significantly, enough to easily withstand attacks from various Martial Artists of the Upper Three Grades.

His Qi Blood also grew more vigorous and precise, with every single drop containing immense power.

His Spiritual Power was also boosted by the breakthrough in his realm.

Sensing the changes within himself, Xia Wuyang nodded in satisfaction. His overall strength had increased by at least thirty percent. With his Body Refining Cultivation alone, he could now sweep through the Grandmaster Realm and would not even fear facing a Super Grade Celestial Human.

Even his numerous Cultivation Techniques, Combat Techniques, and Secret Techniques... were all enhanced by the increase in his Cultivation Realm. Advancement in the Blood Transformation Realm was an all-encompassing improvement, and these were naturally included.

As his Qi Blood grew more vigorous and pure, his Talent and Qualification stronger, and his overall constitution higher, his mastery over these Cultivation Techniques, Combat Techniques, and Secret Techniques naturally rose with the tide.

Because this breakthrough occurred during a state of epiphany, not only was it much easier, but it also granted him great clarity regarding his future Cultivation path.

The future bottlenecks leading to the Blood Transformation Late Stage and even Blood Transformation Perfection no longer seemed like significant obstacles to him. Breaking through would not be difficult.

Moreover, his insight into the Dragon Tiger Fist had also reached an astonishing level. He had improved it in even more areas, and its power now far surpassed what it was before.

The same Dragon Tiger Fist, when performed by Xia Wuyang, was at least fifty percent more powerful than when performed by the Third Prince, Xia Wuchen.

The Dragon Tiger Fist, which was already a Top Level Body Refining Technique in the Fallen Dragon Land, was now likely one of the absolute best Body Refining Techniques in Xia Wuyang’s hands.
