Optimization: Internal Organs Chapter

Seeing Su Yi like this, he was probably treating the exchange counter like a supermarket.

Ten Life-Returning Pills—was he planning to eat them like meals?

Normally, there was no need for so many life-saving pills. How could there possibly be that many chances for them to save your life?

Su Yi didn't see it that way. He only had 6 grams of Life Essence left, and this trip to the Abyss would be another long stay. Naturally, it was better to be prepared for every eventuality.

The Life-Returning Pills were actually quite effective. They weren't cheap, but they were still somewhat cheaper than Life Essence.

"You haven't reached Fourth Grade yet. Aren't you saving your resources for cultivation? Using the Blood Qi Pool to break through to Fourth Grade isn't cheap."

For Middle Three Grades cultivation, these three types of pills were the best sellers.

Body-Tempering Pills and Eleven Pills were both used to temper the internal organs. Of course, Body-Tempering Pills were mainly for tempering the body, while Eleven Pills were for the Five Viscera and Six Bowels. Organ Protection Pills kept the internal organs from being injured.

At Fourth and Fifth Grade, pills were needed to assist in tempering the internal organs. By Sixth Grade, pills were no longer necessary.

"I'll break through in a few days anyway. I'd have to buy them sooner or later."

Rather than making another trip then, he might as well buy them now. In any case, he wasn't short on Credit Points at the moment.

Otherwise, he would have to make one trip to buy pills and another to collect his weapons. That was far too troublesome.

Chen Bo'an glanced at Su Yi without saying anything and began calculating the Credit Points.

"Life-Returning Pills are 200 Credit Points each, Body-Tempering Pills are 200 each, Eleven Pills are 200 each, and Fourth Grade Organ Protection Pills are 150 each. That comes to 7,500 Credit Points.

"A-Grade Alloy is 200 Credit Points per kilogram. The custom sword and shoes will need 18 kilograms. Add 100 Credit Points for the leather on the shoes, plus the customization fee, and the total is..."

"11,300 Credit Points. Looks like you made quite a haul in the Abyss."

Su Yi had still had 8,000 Credit Points left before this, and he needed to save some for breaking through to Fourth Grade. That meant he had earned resources worth four or five thousand Credit Points during this Abyss trip?

Wasn't this kid's first trip into the Abyss?

Since when had Credit Points become so easy to earn?

Taking the Martial Arts Certificate Su Yi handed over, Chen Bo'an swiped it, instantly deducting 11,300 Credit Points. Good lord, there were still nearly 16,000 Credit Points left.

Had he gone into the Abyss to rob people?

Even Chen Bo'an was tempted. He really wanted to rob this kid.

Not counting the Credit Points that had just been deducted, this kid had actually been carrying twenty to thirty thousand Credit Points' worth of resources.

Unable to believe it, he asked, "Did you get all this from the Abyss?"

Su Yi nodded helplessly. He had storage space, so he could bring weapons and such back with him. Since he also didn't need supplies, he had ended up with so many gains.

Chen Bo'an no longer wanted to speak. A Third-Rank Warrior had made nearly twenty thousand Credit Points from a single trip into the Abyss.

Could even a Sixth-Rank Warrior like him do that? Could even a Grandmaster?

With complicated feelings, he waved a hand, signaling Su Yi to leave.

"Come pick up the custom weapons and shoes in ten days. If there's nothing else, get going."

He didn't want to see Su Yi right now. He was exhausted.

Nor did he intend to ask how Su Yi had obtained them. As long as one had some strength and dared to fight for it, resources would always be there. They were just difficult to bring back.

Besides, this was Su Yi's secret. Why should he dig to the bottom of it?

Prying into someone else's secrets was a great taboo in the Martial Arts World!

After leaving the Logistics Department, Su Yi tucked away his pills and headed straight for Wu Kuishan's place.

"Third-Rank Peak already? So when are you planning to break through to Fourth Grade?"

Wu Kuishan calmly took a sip from his teacup, utterly composed.

So what if he had broken through to Third-Rank Peak? What was there to be shocked about?

He had long since finished being surprised. Su Yi had emerged from the Abyss yesterday, and last night, the instructors who had come out of the Abyss had already recounted his record.

His gains were still unknown for the moment, but he had killed so many Abyss Warriors, including more than thirty middle-rank ones. No matter what, that had to be worth over ten thousand Credit Points.

Lyu Fengrou, however, was not as calm as Wu Kuishan. How long had it been? He could actually kill Fifth-Rank Peak opponents already.

She herself was only Fifth Grade. The only difference between her and Su Yi was probably their realm.

Although elders always hoped the younger generation could surpass them, wasn't this a little too fast?

Third-Rank Peak, with essence, qi, and spirit united as one—Su Yi could enter Fourth Grade at any time. He had enrolled less than two and a half months ago. Was Fifth Grade really still far away?

"Teacher, I plan to break through in three days."

"It's good to spend a few more days adjusting. Once you break through, I'll be going into seclusion for a while as well."

Seclusion?

Su Yi looked at Wu Kuishan with delight. "Teacher, are you preparing to break through to Grandmaster?"

Wu Kuishan pondered for a moment. "Hard to say. Becoming a Grandmaster isn't so easy. I'm only going to give it a try."

He had been at Essence Blood Unity for some time now and was still a little short of Mental Manifestation, but it was time to start preparing.

At his current level, calling him a quasi-Grandmaster would not be an exaggeration.

With Essence Blood Unity, once his Spiritual Power grew strong enough to manifest, he would be a Grandmaster.

Essence blood and Spiritual Power complemented one another. His Spiritual Power was currently around nine hundred Hz; if all went smoothly, he might break through before long.

"Then let me wish Teacher a smooth breakthrough in advance."

Su Yi offered his blessings. Though he did not know exactly when Wu Kuishan would break through, it would likely be within the next year or two. Even if he failed this time, his next period of seclusion should do it.

Wu Kuishan's breakthrough would benefit him greatly as well. With a Grandmaster teacher, his safety and everything else would be greatly improved.

Wu Kuishan laughed happily as well. "Then I'll accept your auspicious words."

Hearing blessings was certainly more pleasant than hearing people talk nonsense about how things would not go well.

"For the next few days, adjust your condition first, then practice the Tempering Method—Internal Organs Chapter. You should have memorized the method already, right?"

"I have."

"Good. Then I'll tell you what to watch out for during your breakthrough. When constructing the Heaven-Earth Bridge, the first bridge you build will be the one in the heart.

"When building a Heaven-Earth Bridge that links inside and out, there is no need to make it overly stable the first time. So long as it roughly forms a passage, it will not collapse. You can slowly reinforce it later.

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with reinforcing it now, but you may not have enough Blood Qi to build the remaining bridges."

Wu Kuishan took a sip of tea and continued, "If you can build all five Heaven-Earth Bridges in one go, you can directly reach Fourth Grade Mid. Your marrow is like mercury now, so your Blood Qi recovers extremely quickly, and your Spiritual Power can transport Energy Particles.

"Combined with the pure Blood Qi supplied by the Blood Qi Pool, you have a chance of completing all five bridges at once. You can reinforce the passages gradually later, while building all five Heaven-Earth Bridges in one go and reaching Fourth Grade Mid will save you a great deal of time.

"The construction order for the Heaven-Earth Bridges is Heart, Liver, Spleen, Lung, Kidney—the five viscera."

Su Yi began calculating his odds of successfully building all five Heaven-Earth Bridges. He only had 1400 Cal of Blood Qi at present, and the Blood Qi the Blood Qi Pool could replenish for him probably would not be all that much.

A Fifth Grade Abyss Warrior only had around 4000 Cal of Blood Qi, so the amount it could replenish should be a little over three thousand.

Thoroughly stabilizing one passage required roughly 4000 Cal of Blood Qi; five would require twenty thousand Cal.

Even with the absorption of Cultivation Energy Stones, succeeding in one go would be difficult. According to Su Yi's estimate, if he did not reinforce the passages, it should take between 1200 and 1500 Cal per bridge.

A consumption of six or seven thousand Cal should not be much of a problem for him.

After finishing his calculations, Su Yi felt much more at ease. He could directly leap past the initial stage, saving himself quite a bit of time.

At the Fourth and Fifth Grades, every moment he could save was a moment gained. When he reached Sixth Grade Gate Sealing, Su Yi was not confident that he could progress quickly.

He had no means of rapidly sealing his gates. Compared with Fang Ping's, his cheat was still far less overpowered.

After returning to the dormitory, Su Yi began practicing the Tempering Method—Internal Organs Chapter. Since he was about to break through, it was time to begin cultivating it—and to see what functions it would have after Optimization.

It was actually much the same as his previous breakthroughs.

Breakthroughs in the Lower Three Grades required opening up certain Meridians.

Breaking from the Third Grade to the Fourth Grade required building bridges, which could also be considered creating several Meridians out of thin air.

These Meridians had not originally existed. Now, they all had to be opened up and stabilized through the martial artist's own Blood Qi.

The transition from the Third Grade to the Fourth Grade was also a qualitative transformation. A Mid Grade martial artist could accelerate the recovery of their Blood Qi even without relying on pills, without marrow like mercury to speed recovery, and without using Spiritual Power to capture Energy Particles.

Once they began tempering the Five Viscera and Six Bowels, martial artists would in fact rely mostly on the free-floating Energy Particles between heaven and earth for cultivation.

The Tempering Method—Internal Organs Chapter also involved capturing energy, rather than being like the Lower Three Grades, which mainly relied on pills for cultivation.

After practicing it once, he began trying to optimize the Internal Organs Chapter displayed on the panel.

The first Optimization only required 1000 Energy Points.

Optimization!

Su Yi carefully sensed the changes in the Internal Organs Chapter. They were somewhat different from the abilities produced by optimizing the Tempering Method.

But that made sense. One mainly tempered bones, while the other tempered the internal organs.

After one Optimization, the Internal Organs Chapter could reduce consumption by 10%, increase the progress of internal organ tempering by 10%, and increase energy absorption by 10%.

There were some differences from the Tempering Method, but not much.

The functions granted by Optimization were excellent as well. Su Yi continued with the second Optimization: 10,000 Energy Points. The third Optimization required 100,000 Energy Points.

After three Optimizations, it could reduce consumption by 30%, increase internal organ tempering progress by 30%, and increase energy absorption by 30%.

Perfect!

Name: Su Yi

Realm: Third Grade Martial Artist

Blood Qi: 1374/1399 Cal

Spiritual Power: 630 Hz/639 Hz

Bone Tempering: 177 bones (100%), 29 bones (30%)

Knowledge: Tempering Method—Internal Organs Chapter{Optimization +3}; Mid Grade Combat Method—Falling Blossom Sword—Major Accomplishment {Optimization +2}; Mid-Grade Footwork—Cloud Step—Major Accomplishment {Optimization +2}; Basic Cultivation Method—Tempering Method {Optimization +4};

Energy: 358,484 Points

Damage Status: 20.33%

The fourth Optimization required 1 Million Energy Points—far too terrifying an amount. Su Yi chose not to continue optimizing.

"There are still over three hundred thousand Energy Points left. I wonder how many will remain after learning a High Grade Combat Method."

Though he dearly coveted the Spiritual Power Cultivation Method, at his current stage, it simply could not improve him much.

Increasing his combat strength still depended on High Grade Combat Methods.

Besides, he would definitely save up enough Energy Points before reaching Grandmaster.
