Deep in Demon Suppression Division, there is a top-level secret room that is heavily guarded.
The three-foot-thick black iron door slowly closed, blocking out all prying eyes from the outside world.
The four walls and floor of the secret room are all engraved with complex defensive runes, exuding a faint aura.
"Boy, don't wait, just eat it right here!"
Captain Li personally brought Lu Chen here and activated the highest level of defense restrictions.
He looked solemn, and his usually calm face was now filled with nervousness.
"If you keep this thing in your hands for a moment longer, you will be in greater danger. After leaving this door, I don't know how many people want to take your life and rob this thing! The commander has given you permission to use this place just to give you no worries."
The concern and tension in Captain Li's words gave the air in this secret room a sense of depression that "a storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building."
Lu Chen nodded without saying much.
He sat cross-legged on the futon in the center of the secret room and opened the rosewood box.
The majestic fragrance of life surged out again, but it was tightly locked in this small area.
He looked at the Vermilion Fruit that was beating like a heart, and without any hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
The fruit melts in your mouth.
The next moment, an extremely majestic and blazing torrent of life, like volcanic lava bursting its banks, rushed into his limbs and bones with a bang!
"Ugh!"
Lu Chen groaned and his face instantly turned red.
This force was too powerful, too barbaric! It was scouring and widening his meridians crazily, bringing bursts of severe pain like knives and axes.
On the surface of his body, blue veins protruded like horned dragons, and under his skin, there seemed to be countless fiery snakes scurrying about. Fine blood drops continued to seep out from his pores, staining his clothes red in the blink of an eye.
He felt like a rubber ball that was constantly being inflated, and could be burst alive by this terrifying life force at any time!
In severe pain, Lu Chen kept his mind strong and ran wildly <Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art>.
Buzz!
The shadow of an ancient and thick black turtle slowly emerged behind him.
As soon as this phantom appeared, it was like a sea-fixing needle, forcibly suppressing the riot in his body that was about to get out of control.
The black turtle phantom opened its mouth and inhaled, and the violent torrent of life seemed to have found an outlet, was guided, and began to move in an orderly manner according to the route of Cultivation Method.
The tearing pain gradually transformed into a kind of gentle nourishment.
Those meridians that had been washed away and damaged were not only healed quickly by this vitality, but also became stronger and wider than before.
His bones, flesh and blood, and internal organs were all transformed by this vitality.
The most important thing is that he can clearly feel that the "root" of his life, the illusory but real origin, is being completed and strengthened.
It feels like a wooden barrel that was originally chipped and is being repaired bit by bit.
The panel in his sea of consciousness began to refresh crazily.
[Shouyuan+1...]
[Shouyuan+1...]
After an unknown amount of time, when the last trace of the medicinal power was completely absorbed and blended into the depths of his life, the numbers on the panel finally stabilized.
[Host: Lu Chen]
[Realm: Meridian Opening mid-level (peak)]
[Cultivation Method:<Ten Thousand Year Black Tortoise Art> (perfect), <Shadow Demon Trace Steps> (perfect), <Wind Thunder Spell-Breaking Talisman> (perfect), <Black Tortoise Breath Concealment Art> (perfect)]
[Shouyuan: 125 years]
[Demon Devil Lifespan:1700]
Looking at the number on the panel that skyrocketed from "25" to "125", feeling the unprecedented vitality in his body, the long-suppressed boulder in Lu Chen's heart finally fell to the ground.
An indescribable sense of solidity and joy arose spontaneously.
The short-lived crisis has finally been resolved!
He exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and this turbid breath was actually mixed with strands of gray-black death air, which was the last hidden danger accumulated in his body.
The majestic medicinal power not only increased his lifespan by a hundred years, but also completely repaired the hidden wounds and losses he had suffered in the Battle of the Holy Son, and made further progress.
His current cultivation level has reached the pinnacle of the middle stage of Meridian Opening, and he is only one step away from the late stage of Meridian Opening!
Just as he was consolidating his cultivation and feeling this "new life" power, the restrictions outside the secret room were lightly touched.
Captain Li's voice came through the thick black iron door, with a hint of joy and urging.
"Lu Chen, come out. The commander has given orders. It's time to get your second reward."
Second reward?
Lu Chen's heart moved, could there be other unexpected gains besides these hundred years Vermilion Fruit?
