The body-tempering liquid was extremely spicy as it entered his mouth, instantly causing a stinging sensation.
It felt like he had a mouthful of sulfuric acid.
Before Su Jingzhen could react, it transformed into a stream of energy and surged straight down his throat.
In that first moment, Su Jingzhen regretted it.
It was only because of his fervent desire to break through to the third layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo that he had made such a rash decision.
But even as an alchemist, he couldn’t concoct a remedy for regret.
Though it was only a third of a bottle, the energy contained within the body-tempering liquid was quite formidable.
And the energy specifically used for body tempering was incredibly aggressive.
Even though he was a Body Cultivator, his internal organs were relatively fragile.
The first to face the trial was his stomach.A wave of intense pain surged through him, making Su Jingzhen feel as if his stomach was being scorched by fire.
Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
“Ah!!”
As a transmigrator, Su Jingzhen’s willpower was already quite strong.
But even so, the pain was so unbearable that he couldn’t help but cry out in agony.
In the end, he paid the price for his recklessness.
Very quickly, the energy from the body-tempering liquid surged into Su Jingzhen’s limbs, bones, and meridians.
The excruciating pain instantly spread throughout his entire body.
“Fuck…!”
Su Jingzhen immediately started writhing on the ground in pain, his body constantly twisting.
Sweat mixed with blood oozed from every pore.
Soon, he became a bloody mess.
However, amidst this extreme pain, Su Jingzhen keenly sensed that the vitality within his body was indeed increasing slowly.
Although his internal organs were being battered, he remained conscious.
Realizing this, Su Jingzhen mustered immense willpower to force himself to stand.
Then, he began to perform the movements from the “Python Scales Power” technique.
Sometimes he moved like a snake, sometimes like a python. Although his body was trembling continuously, his movements were surprisingly accurate.
If Shuang Jiang were here, she would undoubtedly curse him for being a fool while simultaneously praising his current tenacity.
As Su Jingzhen practiced the “Python Scales Power” in this state, the energy from both his blood and the body-tempering liquid continued to be absorbed by his flesh.
The previously damaged meridians seemed to be slowly repaired as the new energy flowed through them.
Supported by the energy from the body-tempering liquid, Su Jingzhen practiced the “Python Scales Power” for nearly half an hour without feeling any fatigue.
However, the one-third bottle of body-tempering liquid was completely consumed during his practice.
At this point, the pain within Su Jingzhen’s body gradually subsided.
After enduring the extreme pain, he finally reaped the benefits.
His Body Cultivation had indeed reached the third layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo.
【Body Cultivation: Open Three Secret Chamber
Flesh Body Level: Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo (Third Layer)
Next Secret Chamber: Labor Palace Point (Left) 0/200】
Looking at his current body cultivation status, a smile appeared on Su Jingzhen’s lips.
Then, his entire body collapsed onto the ground, letting the spiritual energy of this peculiar place nourish his flesh.
The previous situation was quite perilous; he felt as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.
“Reckless indeed.”
“Luckily, only a third of the bottle was used; if it had been even a bit more, I might have killed myself today.”
He let out a long sigh, murmuring to himself.
He remembered that when Shuang Jiang helped him use the body-tempering liquid, it was always diluted into a large tub of water for him to absorb slowly.
Drinking the body-tempering liquid straight was probably something Su Jingzhen alone had done in the entire history of body cultivation.
Lying on the ground, Su Jingzhen examined himself internally.
He was pleasantly surprised.
He discovered that although the initial phase was extremely painful, his internal organs seemed to have strengthened somewhat after his recovery.
The effects of the body-tempering liquid not only enhanced his limbs and flesh but also his internal organs.
Su Jingzhen’s eyes lit up suddenly.
“So, if I manage the dosage correctly, have I discovered a new method for body cultivation?”
He was somewhat excited.
The body-tempering liquid, when diluted for medicinal baths, could not be fully absorbed even after practicing the “Python Scales Power” nearly ten times under Shuang Jiang’s guidance, especially when his body was extremely depleted.
Now, using his method, not a single drop was wasted.
Su Jingzhen then picked up another full bottle of body-tempering liquid.
After smiling for a moment, he decided not to try again.
Although the effects were impressive, the extreme pain was something he didn’t want to experience again anytime soon.
After lying on the ground for about an hour and fully regaining his strength, Su Jingzhen stood up again.
Now, at the third layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo, he wanted to see how far he could venture into the thick mist.
The sword energy within the mist remained sharp.
This time, even though he had only advanced by a small realm, he managed to take fifteen steps forward.
At this position, the special energy contained in the air became even more concentrated.
His curiosity about the origin of this energy and what lay at the center grew even stronger.
However, it was evident that the third layer of the Flesh Body Spiritual Embryo was still far from sufficient to reach the center.
After a brief attempt, Su Jingzhen gave up.
Looking at the sky, he realized it was already late in the afternoon after all his efforts.
Having expended a lot of energy earlier, his stomach now grumbled loudly.
“Time to head down the mountain…”
…
After Luo Yuebai issued that order today, the entire Evil Moon Sect became incredibly busy.
As the one in charge, Luo Yuebai leisurely wandered to Su Jingzhen’s courtyard once more.
This time, he held a golden invitation with great solemnity.
However, even after entering Su Jingzhen’s exclusive courtyard, it remained dark and deserted.
Even with his spiritual senses fully extended, he couldn’t sense Su Jingzhen’s presence.
“Did Friend Su go to Clear Wind Mountain alone?” Luo Yuebai raised an eyebrow.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
“Friend Luo, I noticed the disciples of Evil Moon Sect are quite busy setting something up in the front square. Could it be that the Evil Moon Sect celebration is about to commence?”
Su Jingzhen’s tone carried a hint of curiosity as he spoke.
Joy flickered in Luo Yuebai’s eyes as he turned around and indeed saw Su Jingzhen.
“Friend Su, you’re quite the early bird these days.”
With a playful remark, Luo Yuebai continued, “Indeed, everything is ready. The celebration has been moved up to tomorrow.”
As he spoke, he handed the golden invitation to Su Jingzhen.
“Friend Su, you promised to attend our Evil Moon Sect celebration. For that, I’ve prepared a special gift for you tomorrow.”
