Complete Transformation

Villa 66's meditation room.

Su Yuan took out a half-meter-long wooden box.

He gently opened it, revealing dozens of silver needles arranged neatly inside.

Su Yuan had also casually purchased these dozens of silver needles online, and they had been delivered together with the lingzhi and old ginseng.

As Su Yuan looked at the silver needles before him, the cultivation method provided by the Grey Mirror surfaced in his mind.

The transformation and evolution of life naturally could not be achieved merely by relying on lingzhi and old ginseng.

The main issue was that ordinary human bodies could not absorb much of the nutrients and energy contained in lingzhi and old ginseng.

If an ordinary person consumed a century-old lingzhi, at least ninety percent of its nutrients and energy would be wasted.

The cultivation method provided by the Grey Mirror required acupuncture to stimulate the body, thereby greatly increasing its absorption of external energy.

This would solve the problem of normal human bodies being unable to perfectly absorb the nutrients and energy within lingzhi and old ginseng.

After all, under the stimulation of acupuncture, Su Yuan's body would receive a temporary boost and reach an inhuman level.

Absorbing them with an inhuman body would naturally no longer be difficult.

Simply put, it was like getting on the train before buying the ticket.

"Are you sure this cultivation won't be dangerous?"

Su Yuan picked up a silver needle and glanced at the Grey Mirror beside him.

The human body was extremely complex and contained countless acupoints, including lethal ones.

If he pricked the wrong spot, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Confirmed."

The Gray Mirror's surface blurred as it gave its reply.

As long as Su Yuan strictly followed the cultivation method provided by the Grey Mirror and chose the required acupoints, it would be safe.

Having received the Grey Mirror's confirmation, Su Yuan immediately held the silver needle.

He carefully inserted it into a spot below his chest.

Buzz—Su Yuan immediately felt a wave of suffocation wash over him, while his flesh, muscles, and bones trembled throughout his body.

"Now!"

Su Yuan immediately picked up the mountain lingzhi placed before him and swallowed it in one bite. After chewing it briefly, he swallowed it into his stomach.

The moment the lingzhi entered his stomach, Su Yuan immediately felt it begin to churn.

Under the stimulation of the silver needle, Su Yuan's bodily functions surged wildly as they frantically absorbed the nutrients and energy contained within the lingzhi.

They were then rapidly transported throughout his body—to his limbs, bones, muscles, and flesh.

Eleven minutes later.

Su Yuan inserted the second needle, this time beneath his left arm.

At once, Su Yuan felt his body heat up, as though even his fat was burning.

He then picked up the next century-old ginseng and swallowed it whole.

"Exhale!"

"Inhale!"

"Exhale!"

"Inhale!"

During this time, Su Yuan continuously adjusted his breathing rhythm to help his body more perfectly absorb the nutrients and energy from the many tonics he had consumed.

Time passed.

Next, Su Yuan inserted another twelve silver needles into his body.

With every needle he inserted, Su Yuan consumed a tonic, until all the lingzhi, old ginseng, and other tonics around him had been eaten.

Thump, thump, thump!

His heart pounded violently. With fourteen silver needles inserted, Su Yuan's body had already been enhanced to a certain limit.

His overly elevated body began to clash with his frail flesh, muscles, and bones, causing the latter to tear apart continuously.

Meanwhile, the tonics Su Yuan had swallowed were rapidly digested, transforming into streams of vital essence and life force that began healing his torn flesh, muscles, and bones.

Thus, tearing and healing, healing and tearing, repeated in an endless cycle.

At first, Su Yuan found it unbearably painful. But as time passed, his muscles, bones, and flesh continuously healed, his internal organs gradually grew stronger, and an unprecedented sense of comfort welled up within him.

Su Yuan knew that his physical foundation was rapidly improving, and his frail flesh, muscles, and bones were being greatly strengthened.

Five hours later.

The alarm he had set in advance rang.

Whoosh—Su Yuan took a deep breath, then exhaled sharply.

The silver needles embedded all over his body flew backward.

"This feeling?"

Su Yuan stood up and sensed the changes in his body.

First was his heart. Su Yuan could clearly feel that it was now beating with incomparable strength and health.

"My heart disease should be cured."

Su Yuan thought to himself. This cultivation session had brought him a complete transformation. Naturally, the hidden ailments and problems in his body had vanished in the course of it.

"My eyesight..."

Su Yuan observed his surroundings and found everything in every direction incredibly clear, as though a blurry lens had suddenly been wiped clean.

Moreover, Su Yuan felt that his mind was clearer than ever, and his intelligence had also improved alongside this transformation.

Snap!

Su Yuan clenched his fist and threw a punch forward.

The air seemed to tear apart faintly.

"My strength has also risen by a huge margin."

Su Yuan had a clear grasp of it.

He then went to the villa's gym and tested himself for a while.

He finally reached a conclusion.

He could now easily throw a punch with three hundred kilograms of force.

As for speed, he only needed seven or eight seconds to run one hundred meters, completely crushing the top athletes of every nation on Blue Star.

"Just one cultivation session gave me this kind of improvement..."

Su Yuan sighed inwardly.

With his current strength, he could absolutely be considered a "little Superman." He could easily leap more than ten meters, and even if he fell from a building dozens of meters high, he might not die. He could maintain his balance during the fall and ultimately use wind resistance to land.

He might suffer some injuries, but that would be all.

This kind of strength was practically invincible within a city.

"Unfortunately, this cultivation method only suits me. The Grey Mirror tailored it entirely according to my physical condition. Even if someone else replicated it exactly, they could never achieve my results. They might even die from organ failure due to excessive medicinal potency."

Su Yuan thought to himself.

Every person's body had subtle differences.

This was especially true of acupoints. A tiny discrepancy could mean striking a lethal acupoint.

"Just how strong is a true Level 1 Lifeform?"

Su Yuan silently wondered.

According to the cultivation plan the Grey Mirror had formulated for him, he only needed to cultivate fifteen times—half a month—to officially transform into a Level 1 Lifeform.

And a Level 1 Lifeform... even in the eyes of those terrifying civilizations deep in the universe, it could be considered life, no longer roadside dust.

Returning to the meditation room.

Su Yuan looked at the remaining lingzhi and ginseng.

Two days ago, he had bought six hundred thousand yuan worth of lingzhi and ginseng.

After the first cultivation session, he had used up two hundred thousand yuan worth of lingzhi and ginseng.

The second and third cultivation sessions would likewise each consume two hundred thousand yuan worth of lingzhi and ginseng.

Of the fifteen cultivation sessions the Grey Mirror had designed for Su Yuan to reach Level 1 Lifeform, the first through third required the fewest resources.

After that, every cultivation session would require a significantly greater amount of resources.

By the end of all fifteen sessions, he would have consumed resources worth roughly forty million yuan.

After organizing the remaining lingzhi and old ginseng for tomorrow's second cultivation session.

Su Yuan returned to the Grey Mirror.

Staring at the Grey Mirror, Su Yuan pondered for a moment before asking:

"With my current strength, what rank could I reach in Magic City?"
