With the aid of a sacred body-refining herb, Liu Yu had needed to take only two whole stalks of the newly matured Dragon-Transforming Grass to reach the Fourth-Tier Early Stage peak.
A year later, he had taken another four-thousand-year-old stalk of Dragon-Transforming Grass and smoothly broken through to the fourth-tier middle stage.
After that breakthrough, his body refining had continued to advance by leaps and bounds, and he had now made solid progress into the stage.
If the fourth tier of body refining were likewise divided into nine minor steps, Liu Yu now stood on the fifth.

Yet throughout history, there was probably no other cultivator who could use it every few days as he did.
"Essence" existed directly in the material world. Compared with "spirit" and "qi," it was extremely stable and almost incapable of growing by leaps and bounds.
But with the right method, such as Liu Yu's continuous use of Dragon-Transforming Grass, every aspect of the physical body could likewise transform at an extraordinary pace.

During the breakthrough, the
