Three-Star Great Dou Master
For Zi Yan, the Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit was simply a food containing a large amount of energy.
Among the medicinal herbs that Zi Yan brought this time, there were those with energy comparable to the Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit, but there were also quite a few others.
Among the medicinal materials used in the past to refine Medicinal Pill, there were many that could rival the energy contained in the Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit, and some even surpassed it.
So much so that Zi Yan had no concept of feeling reluctant about losing even one Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit, and thus agreed to give the Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit to Lin Ming Zi Yan any hesitation.
After storing the Ice Fire Dragon Whisker Fruit in his Storage Ring, Lin Ming placed one hand on one of the fire vents of the Crimson Flow Gold Cauldron. The Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire within his body circulated with his Dou Qi, entering the Medicinal Cauldron from his hand and igniting a blazing fire.
Next, Lin Ming refined Zi Yan's medicinal herbs into Medicinal Pill.
He spent the whole morning making Medicinal Pill. After giving the finished Medicinal Pill to Zi Yan, Zi Yan couldn't wait to take out a bottle of Medicinal Pill and start taking them.
Seeing Zi Yan's satisfied smile, like a child who has just eaten candy, Lin Ming also smiled.
Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Lin Ming called to Zi Yan to come and have lunch together. Zi Yan happily nodded and went to the hall with Lin Ming to eat lunch.
During his two-day rest, Lin Ming did not encounter any thunderstorms, so Lin Ming spent the time Pill Refining in the Medicine Refinement Hall instead of practicing the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique.
After a two-day rest and with the Fire Poison from the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire within his body cleared, Lin Ming began another five-day period of cultivation within the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower.
In one of the Cultivation Room in the very center of the second level of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, Lin Ming was cultivating.
It has now been five days since Lin Ming entered the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, and Lin Ming has now finished his current training session.
According to Lin Ming's perception, another five-day closed-door cultivation session would allow him to break through the Two Star Dou Grandmaster realm and reach the Three Star Dou Grandmaster cultivation level.
At that time, Lin Ming had only been in the Inner Academy for a little over a month. To advance one star in cultivation in just over a month was something almost unthinkable elsewhere.
It took Lin Ming about two months to advance one star in his cultivation at the Dou Practitioner Stage. Now that he has reached the Da Dou Shi stage, the amount of Dou Qi required to advance one star is many times greater than that required for Dou Zhe.
However, with the Fallen Heart Flame now enhancing his cultivation, the time to advance one star will be much faster. Even if his cultivation progress slows down a bit later due to adapting to the Fallen Heart Flame, it will only take a maximum of two months. Lin Ming is confident that he can advance one star in cultivation.
From this perspective, Lin Ming's goal of advancing to the Dou Ling within a year and a half at the latest is not only achievable, but may even be accomplished a little earlier.
Having finished his training session, Lin Ming left the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower and returned to the Medicine Gang.
Arriving at his floor, Lin Ming glanced at his senior brother Xu Shilin's room, which was dark, indicating that his brother had gone into seclusion. Without dwelling on it, Lin Ming returned to his own room, washed up, and drifted off to sleep.
Upon waking up, Lin Ming noticed dark clouds gathering in the forest behind him in the afternoon.
Upon discovering the dark cloud, Lin Ming immediately rushed towards it. After arriving at a secluded spot, he unfurled his Purple Crystal Wings and flew away.
Landing on a mountain peak beneath the Lei Yun, Lin Ming saw the lightning about to strike and quickly drew his Star Dragon Saber, emanating a provocative aura as he pointed it at the Lei Yun.
Lin Ming's provocation seemed to remind the Thundercloud Cluster of the provocative young man below.
That brat, after I, the Lord of the Thundercloud Cluster, had unleashed all my lightning upon him that time, was still clamoring for more, which of course made me, the Lord of the Thundercloud Cluster, leave in a very embarrassing and shameful manner.
After the Thundercloud Cluster Clan replenished its strength again, it returned to this area several times to look for the boy, but found no trace of him. This greatly disappointed the Thundercloud Cluster, which wanted to regain its dignity.
But now that this kid has arrived, I, the Lord of the Thundercloud Cluster, will definitely reclaim my honor from that time. Kid, you better take this!
So, the thunder that was originally meant to be vented at will, provoked by Lin Ming, struck down on Lin Ming with lightning speed.
"Well done!" After taking a Lightning Resistance Pill, Lin Ming smiled as he welcomed the rapidly descending lightning.
In an instant, the power of thunder surged towards Lin Ming.
Lin Ming, who had already mastered the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique, had significantly improved his physical abilities. With the protection of the Lightning Resistance Pill, the pain he felt when exposed to the power of Lin Ming was no longer unbearable.
After receiving the lightning power, Lin Ming immediately sat cross-legged and activated the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique to absorb and refine the lightning power within his body, strengthening his physical body.
Purple electric currents flickered across Lin Ming's body, the light they generated illuminating Lin Ming meridians and flesh.
During his cultivation, Lin Ming could clearly feel his physical abilities improving. His meridians, his flesh and blood, his internal organs, and even every single cell in his body were rejoicing.
In no time, Lin Ming absorbed and refined the lightning bolt, using it to strengthen his body and flesh. Of course, the majority of the damage was to Lin Ming's skin, which became even more resilient.
After completing the refining process, Lin Ming smiled as he looked at the dark, ominous Thundercloud Cluster in the sky. What others found Thundercloud Cluster, Lin Ming found pleasing to the eye.
As Lin Ming raised the Star Dragon Saber, the Thundercloud Cluster in the sky, ready to unleash their full power on Lin Ming, unleashed another massive bolt of lightning that struck down upon Lin Ming without hesitation.
Seeing such a well-coordinated lightning strike, Lin Ming naturally had to catch it properly.
Soon after, purple lightning surged around Lin Ming's body again.
And so, after refining one bolt of lightning, Lin Ming would go to receive the next. The Thundercloud Cluster in the sky, however, were determined to make the boy below submit this time, so they spared no effort in unleashing their stored lightning. As soon as they saw Lin Ming raise his sword, a bolt of lightning would strike Lin Ming down.
This time, after the Thundercloud Cluster in the sky had exhausted all their reserves, Lin Ming absorbed the power of six bolts of lightning.
Seeing that the kid below had once again exhausted him, the Thundercloud Cluster, now out of supplies, could only leave dejectedly in the face of Lin Ming raising his knife again. However, before leaving, the Thundercloud Cluster still uttered a threat, saying that it would return.
After absorbing the power of six bolts of lightning, Lin Ming felt his body improve significantly.
If Lin Ming's physical abilities were equivalent to entering the Dou Master when he first mastered the Purple Lightning Radiant Body Technique, then after absorbing the power of six bolts of lightning this time, it would be equivalent to increasing his Dou Master cultivation by several stars. He is one step closer to reaching the Great Master realm and being able to withstand attacks from Da Dou Shi with his own body.
Like Lin Ming, the Star Dragon Saber has also been improved, becoming even darker and radiating a chilling light.
After putting away the Star Dragon Saber, Lin Ming tidied himself up and then spread his Purple Crystal Wings to fly towards the Inner Academy. He then returned to his room and began to soak in water to repair the injuries caused by the power of lightning.
Time flew by, and Lin Ming arrived outside the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, waiting patiently for it to open.
The bell finally rang after a long wait. The moment the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower opened its doors, Lin Ming had already arrived at the entrance and disappeared in an instant.
Still on the second floor, Lin Ming found an empty Cultivation Room in the middle, entered it, closed the door, and began his cultivation.
After inserting the Fire Crystal Card into the groove on the stone platform, Lin Ming sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state.
Before long, the strange Heart Flame appeared inside Lin Ming's body. With over a month of experience, Lin Ming skillfully controlled his Dou Qi and entered a state of cultivation.
Time flew by during cultivation. On the fourth day, an unusual fluctuation of Dou Qi was transmitted. Lin Ming, who sensed this, was overjoyed.
Lin Ming was all too familiar with this feeling. From the beginning of his cultivation until now, he had experienced this sensation every time he advanced in rank.
The feeling of advancing to the next level is exactly what Lin Ming predicted.
Lin Ming quickly suppressed his joy and returned to meditation to begin his breakthrough in cultivation.
After more than half an hour, Lin Ming saw the Dou Crystal had grown a little larger under his internal vision, Lin Ming a smile appeared on his face.
This breakthrough was risk-free; Lin Ming easily broke through from Two Star Dou Grandmaster to Three Star Dou Grandmaster.
This time, after entering the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, I completed the breakthrough in my cultivation on the fourth day. There is still more than a day before the Fire Poison in the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire becomes saturated.
After calming his joyful mood, and adhering to the principle of not wasting time and to consolidate his cultivation, Lin Ming entered into cultivation again.
As the fifth day was drawing to a close, Lin Ming stopped cultivating and returned to his room with a pleasant feeling.
Inside the room, Lin Ming began to think. It had only been a little over a year since he left his family, yet his cultivation had increased by more than Tier One.
When Lin Ming left his family, his cultivation had just broken through to the Two-Star Dou Master stage. Today, however, Lin Ming's cultivation has reached the Three Star Dou Grandmaster, which makes Lin Ming feel that his decision to come to the Jia Nan Academy was very correct.
I haven't seen Ya Fei for over a year, and I wonder how that girl is doing now.
Ya Fei will probably have to go to the Mittel houses in various cities where her family operates to hone her skills.
However, given her own circumstances, Ya Fei is unlikely to face too many hardships.
After calming himself down, Lin Ming drifted off to sleep.
