Breakthrough! Body Tempering Mid-stage!

Since he began his cultivation, Ye Li had maintained a state of diligent and arduous practice.

He kept up an effort two hundred times that of an ordinary person, starting with at least seven hours of training every single day.

Yet, it was a pity that even now, he had not broken through to the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm.

Because the things he encountered were just too, too, too, too, too damn many!

Ye Li: Am I some kind of novel protagonist?

Answer me!

Look in my eyes! Tell me!!!

From the breakthrough to Body Tempering on October 7th to now, October 26th, a mere nineteen days had passed?

And yet, one after another, he had been forced to take a master, kill people, and deal with a whole basket of problems thrown his way!

In a few more days, would his trait levels be exposed, only for him to be targeted by factions possessing Grandmasters and Martial Saints while he was still at a mere Body Tempering cultivation?

At this moment, Ye Li did not know that he had actually been targeted long ago.

Regardless, Ye Li felt as if he were being set up by Heaven's Will, inexplicably dragged into all sorts of affairs.

If he hadn't been quick-witted, he likely would have been killed off long ago.

However, after experiencing so much, Ye Li's gains were already far greater than a mere breakthrough to a minor realm.

After all, even Fang Yuan had initially only thought about selling Bubble Fish and using the Double Ten Absolute Body to become a Venerable.

Originally, according to Ye Li's progress, he would likely have needed another half a month to break through to the middle stage.

But since this Century Ginseng Pill was now in his hands, there was no need to wait.

Do today's work today!

Borrowed power would eventually have to be returned one day.

Only by possessing more power of one's own could one grasp one's own destiny!

Right now, Ye Li was only in the Body Tempering Realm, so he called Zheng Tong "Master."

But once Ye Li reached the Post-Heaven Realm in the future, wouldn't he have to learn from Tang San becoming a god and call his master "Tong-zi"?

Thinking of this, Ye Li stood in the courtyard, staring at the deep yellow pill in his hand.

Just by holding it, he could smell the intense, medicinal scent unique to ginseng wafting toward him.

Usually, such precious medicinal materials were sealed away in clean bottles.

The moment he took it out, just by smelling the volatile medicinal fragrance, Ye Li felt his blood and qi surging throughout his body, surpassing the effect of a full stick of incense of regular practice.

Seeing that Ye Li wanted to consume it immediately, Li Liang couldn't help but remind him:

"Young Master, be careful. The Century Ginseng Pill cannot be swallowed directly, or the medicinal power will easily dissipate and you will be swallowed by regret. I suggest..."

Ye Li: "There is no need for that!"

With that, Ye Li grabbed the Century Ginseng Pill and swallowed it!

Then, as if eating potato chips, he casually licked the pill powder off his fingers.

The moment it hit his stomach, Ye Li instantly felt his entire body burning, his meridians and blood vessels exploding with a "boom."

If it were a pure eruption of medicinal power, relying on the condensed essence within, Ye Li would likely have exploded as if he had swallowed a high-intensity C4 explosive.

Understanding this, Ye Li immediately began to circulate the Azure Dragon Force to guide his blood and qi!

Whoosh...

At this moment, Ye Li's perfected Clear Force senses could clearly feel the roar of his blood rushing through his vessels.

If the medicinal power of the Dragon Tiger Pill before was like a small stream, then this Century Ginseng Pill was the Amazon River flooding during the rainy season.

Human? What human?

Ye Li's blood vessels had to hold firm against this impact, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

In the next second, he would likely end up like Tom the cat, spraying blood everywhere and dying!

But this pill had been specially decocted, mixed with countless auxiliary materials.

Its purpose was to protect the heart meridians of those on the verge of death, allowing even those with severe Post-Heaven Realm injuries to hang onto their lives.

Naturally, there would be no situation where he would be "supplemented to death."

The next moment, Ye Li felt another wave of medicinal power rise in his stomach, beginning to protect his blood vessels and ensuring that the rapidly flowing blood would not break its constraints.

With the help of this medicinal power, Ye Li felt he had an endless supply of energy, wishing he could go all out for three days and three nights.

Enduring the vibrant, surging feeling of blood and qi in his meridians, he continued to practice the Azure Dragon Force, breathing and exhaling rhythmically, his entire skin turning a deep, flushed red as if congested with blood.

At the same time, the values on Ye Li's panel began to jump incessantly.

Realm: Body Tempering Realm Initial Stage (768+10+10+10.../1500)

Almost every jump was equivalent to digesting half a Body Tempering Pill or ten hours of grueling training.

At this moment, he felt no pain from his congested body; on the contrary, the more he practiced his technique, the more his energy surged, and his strength grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He could feel every cell in his body greedily absorbing the vast vitality released by the Ginseng Pill, being tempered repeatedly on the edge of destruction and rebirth.

As time pushed forward, the value on the panel finally reached its limit.

Realm: "Body Tempering Realm Initial Stage (1500/1500)"?

"Now! Break for me!"

"Raaah!!!"

Ye Li let out a loud roar, spirit and will merging as one, focusing all his mental effort onto the point allocation!

The next instant, his entire body's blood and qi suddenly contracted, condensing into a single point at his dantian, and then, like a spring compressed to its limit, it exploded with a boom!

"Hum--!"

Just like the breakthrough to the initial stage, World-Shocking Wisdom began to guide his body through adjustments.

Every breakthrough was a leap toward physical perfection!

This time, breaking through to the Body Tempering Realm middle stage, countless insights from the breakthrough were poured into his brain by World-Shocking Wisdom, while the Body Tempering Realm itself was being deeply disciplined by World-Shocking Wisdom!

If the previous breakthrough to the initial stage had merely been a simple strengthening, then reaching the middle stage now was the trait conducting a compliance test on the realm.

[World-Shocking Wisdom] was like a sadist holding a whip, frantically lashing the realm while issuing soul-searching interrogations:

"Do you love Ye Li! Do you love Ye Li! I'm asking you, do you love Ye Li? Do you? Do you? Do you?"

And the Body Tempering Realm could only endure the torture of the trait and admit with humiliation:

"I love him, I love him, I love him! I love Ye Li to death!"

"If you love him, why don't you give him monthly votes! Recommendation votes?"

Under the control of [World-Shocking Wisdom], the blood and qi surging within Ye Li began to slow down gradually, and the density of his blood began to become as solid as lead and mercury, carrying a jelly-like, crystalline luster!

Following this, his bones emitted a continuous, crisp sound like pearls falling onto a jade plate!

This was the sign of tendons and bones resonating in unison, a rebirth of the body!

A sense of power, far stronger, more condensed, and more fluid than before, instantly filled every corner of his body!

His body felt as if it had shed a thousand-pound burden, becoming incredibly light, and his perception became sharper than ever before.

The sound of the night breeze, the faint chirping of insects in the distance, and even the weak sound of blood flowing smoothly through his vessels were all clearly distinguishable.

Realm: Body Tempering Realm Middle Stage (1/2500)

Blood like lead and mercury, Body Tempering Realm middle stage, achieved!

After the breakthrough, Ye Li stood in the courtyard, quietly regulating his blood and qi.

He used Azure Dragon Force to breathe and stabilize his cultivation, allowing the vast medicinal power to continue settling and nourishing his body, which had just completed its breakthrough.

+5+5+5+5+5+5+5+5...

The powerful medicinal force of the Ginseng Pill continued to take effect within his body, its strength merging bit by bit into his muscles and bones.

It was just that for Ye Li, now at the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm, the experience points gained were halved.

To go from the middle stage to the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm, what needed to be done was to fill the flesh and blood!

Once the flesh and blood were as hard as cast iron, it would signify that the late stage of the Body Tempering Realm had been reached!

Half an hour later, Ye Li had completely absorbed the medicinal power, having traveled halfway along the experience bar for the middle stage of the Body Tempering Realm!
