Tempering the Body with Lightning

In the silent Cultivation Room, a person dressed in black sat cross-legged in front of a black stone platform, silently cultivating.

"Whew!"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Lin Ming stopped circulating his Cultivation Method, waking up from his meditation and ending his current training session.

Because of the eruption of the Fallen Heart Flame, the Heart Flame became more active, and Lin Ming's cultivation effect in just over a day was almost equivalent to the effect of the previous three days.

However, by now, the effects of cultivating with the Heart Flame were almost the same as in the previous few days. In addition, since this had lasted for a total of five days, the Fire Poison within the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire had become saturated. Therefore, Lin Ming stopped his plans to continue cultivating.

After getting up and putting away the Fire Crystal Card on the stone platform, Lin Ming activated the Restriction on the Cultivation Room, left the Cultivation Room, and walked towards the outside of the tower.

As we stepped out of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, the setting sun in the west was almost at its zenith, the last rays of its rays indicating that it was already evening.

Strolling under the setting sun, Lin Ming walked towards the headquarters of the Medicine Gang.

Half an hour later, when Lin Ming returned to the Medicine Gang, it was already completely dark.

As Lin Ming entered the Medicine Gang's headquarters, everyone who saw him greeted Lin Ming. Lin Ming smiled and returned their greetings.

Upon entering the Medicine Gang's headquarters, Lin Ming went to the floor where his senior brother lived. Seeing a light coming from his senior brother's room, Lin Ming walked towards it.

Arriving at his senior brother's door, Lin Ming knocked and said, "Senior brother, are you in there?"

"Junior brother, come in!" Senior brother Xu Shilin's voice came from inside the room.

After receiving his senior's reply, Lin Ming pushed open the door and went inside.

"Junior brother, are you finished cultivating?" Senior brother Xu Shilin asked with a smile after Lin Ming entered the room.

"I just finished. When I got back, I saw the light was on in my senior brother's room, so I came over to check on him," Lin Ming replied with a smile to his senior brother, who was sitting at the table drinking tea.

"Sit down." Senior Brother Xu Shilin poured a cup of tea and placed it opposite Lin Ming as Lin Ming approached the table, and spoke to Lin Ming.

Lin Ming didn't stand on ceremony, sat down in the chair in front of him, and picked up the teacup to taste the tea.

Lin Ming described this tea as having a subtle fragrance upon tasting and a lingering sweet aftertaste.

After drinking the tea, Lin Ming felt his mind was clearer. It seemed that this tea was not only delicious, but also had a refreshing effect.

After Lin Ming finished his tea, his senior brother Xu Shilin refilled Lin Ming's cup.

After refilling Lin Ming's teacup, Senior Brother Xu Shilin placed the teapot back on the table and then said, "Junior Brother, your alchemy skills have probably already passed the stage of just reaching the 4th Grade Alchemist, haven't they?"

Lin Ming wasn't surprised by his senior brother Xu Shilin's question. When Lin Ming went to the Medicine Gang help refine Tier 4 Medicinal Pill, he knew that everything that happened would be reported to his senior brother Xu Shilin.

Lin Ming had no intention of hiding anything. In addition, since his senior brother Xu Shilin was the leader of the Medicine Gang, if he didn't know what had happened to Lin Ming within the gang, then Lin Ming would be curious but also a little wary.

If Senior Brother Xu Shilin, as the leader of the Medicine Clan, was unaware of such a trivial matter, it means that he does not have control over the Medicine Clan.

This meant Lin Ming had to be on his guard.

Now that my senior brother has brought it up directly, it means he knows about Lin Ming's refining of Tier 4 Medicinal Pill.

Lin Ming and Xu Shilin were both instructed by the Old Yao, and they addressed each other as fellow disciples in the Inner Academy. As the senior disciple, Xu Shilin knew about his junior disciple's process of Pill Refining, and now that the two of them were chatting about it, Lin Ming felt it was perfectly normal.

So Lin Ming said with a smile, "Hehe, refining ordinary Tier 4 Medicinal Pill shouldn't be a problem."

"Haha, no wonder you're the youngest 4th Grade Alchemist in the academy! Junior brother, your improvement speed is truly terrifying." Senior brother Xu Shilin said with a smile after hearing Lin Ming's reply.

"Hehe..." Lin Ming scratched his head and chuckled.

Afterwards, Lin Ming and his senior brother Xu Shilin chatted over tea for more than an hour until it was late at night. Lin Ming then left Xu Shilin's place, returned to his room, washed up, and went to sleep.

Lin Ming spent almost all his time cultivating inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, so when he woke up, Lin Ming felt refreshed.

After getting up, Lin Ming went downstairs to the lobby and had breakfast with his senior brother Xu Shilin. For the next two days, Lin Ming felt lost.

You mean cultivation? Having gotten used to the inefficient cultivation speed of using the Heart Flame inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Lin Ming now feels like he's achieving twice the results with half the effort by cultivating on his own.

This feeling is similar to that of drivers who can drive at 60 km/h on ordinary roads without ever noticing anything.

But once you're on the highway and your speed increases to 120 km/h, and you get used to that speed, it's like asking you to go back to driving at 60 km/h.

At that time, almost no one could get used to a speed of 60 miles per hour, and everyone felt an urge to curse.

So if Lin Ming were to return to his previous cultivation methods, Lin Ming would feel an urge to curse.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Ming, who had no particular destination in mind, decided to take a stroll around the Inner Academy.

Besides the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, there are many other places in the Inner Academy. The original work mentions a place where people can compete, where Fire Energy can be used as a wager.

After leaving the Medicine Gang, Lin Ming strolled around the Inner Academy, looking at the buildings Inner Academy.

More than an hour later, the dark clouds above the forest on the Back Mountain caught Lin Ming's attention.

Judging from the shape of the dark clouds, it's clearly the prelude to a thunderstorm.

"Since there's nothing else to do right now, I might as well try practicing the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique." With that thought, Lin Ming headed towards the forest Back Mountain.

Upon reaching the edge of the forest and finding no one around, Lin Ming conjured a pair of amethyst wings from behind Lin Ming. With a flap of these wings, Lin Ming's figure gradually lifted off the ground and flew into the air.

Controlling the Purple Crystal Wings, Lin Ming flew towards the Lei Yun. Before long, Lin Ming landed on a mountaintop below the Lei Yun.

Looking down at the Lei Yun in the sky, the dark Lei Yun contained a terrifying divine power, which made Lin Ming, who wanted to use this lightning to cultivate the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique, have second thoughts.

"Zzz!"

A bolt of lightning Space-Rending, making a whistling sound and flashing brightly not far in front of Lin Ming. Then, a deafening boom came from the sky.

The awe-inspiring power of lightning, even after transmigrating to the Dou Qi Continent where cultivation is possible, did not diminish its might. In fact, at their current level of cultivation, lightning in the weather remained a source of fear.

At this moment, Lin Ming regretted choosing such a body-refining technique that required being struck by lightning. Had he been struck by lightning and damaged his brain, leading him to choose such a Dou Technique that required enduring lightning strikes?

After mentally preparing himself for quite some time, Lin Ming, as if resigned to his fate, took out the Star Dragon Saber and a Jade Bottle from his Storage Ring.

Looking at the Star Dragon Saber in his hand, Lin Ming said, "Buddy, brothers fight tigers together, fathers and sons go to war side by side. Don't worry, even if it means getting struck by lightning, I, Lin Ming, will fight alongside you."

Lin Ming was only bullying Star Dragon Saber because he was unconscious; otherwise, Star Dragon Saber would definitely have said, "Let go of Ou! Don't come any closer! Ou doesn't want to get struck by lightning with you!"

He opened the Jade Bottle in his other hand and poured out a silver pill, which was the Lightning Resistance Pill that Lin Ming had refined to protect himself and prevent any accidents that might occur when he was Thunder Induction.

With a determined effort, Lin Ming swallowed the Lightning Resistance Pill in one gulp. Then, gripping the Star Dragon Saber, he pointed it straight at the sky and taunted the Thundercloud Cluster, "Come and strike me, you son of a bitch!"

The Thundercloud Cluster in the sky seemed to pause for a moment, ceasing their thunder and lightning.

If Thundercloud Cluster were sentient, it would definitely say, "I, Lei Yun, have roamed this forest for so many years, and everyone avoids me like the plague. I never expected to run into someone who wants to be struck down. Hehe, kid, don't worry, I, Lei Yuan, will definitely grant your wish today."

Then, Thundercloud Cluster surged in the sky, crackling with lightning, and a bolt of lightning, as if responding to Lin Ming, struck straight down at Lin Ming, who was holding a knife on the mountaintop.

Lightning, like a snake's tongue, struck the Star Dragon Saber and traveled to Lin Ming, who was holding the Star Dragon Saber.

Struck by lightning, Lin Ming's vision went white for a moment, and the immense pain nearly knocked Lin Ming unconscious. At that moment, Lin Ming was extremely grateful that he had prepared Lightning Resistance Pill in advance to protect himself.

Even with the protection of the Lightning Resistance Pill, Lin Ming was almost chosen to pass through. Without that protection, he would probably have collapsed the moment he came into contact with the lightning.

"Fuck you!"

After regaining his senses, Lin Ming spoke in a hoarse voice, then spat out a Lin Ming of turbid blood, within which faint electric currents flickered.

Having already endured the pain, he couldn't let it go to waste. After regaining his senses, Lin Ming activated the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique, channeling all the destructive lightning power within his body along the cultivation path of the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique, and began to cultivate.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

After activating the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique to absorb the power of lightning, lightning surged on Lin Ming's body from time to time, making sounds while also emitting a purple light.

Lin Ming, who was practicing the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique, felt as if his skin was being pricked by countless needles.

Looking back, Lin Ming didn't know how he managed to persevere. He only knew that at the time, he was determined to keep going.

Lin Ming gritted his teeth countless times before the pain on his skin gradually subsided, replaced by a feeling of tightness and resilience.
