Chapter 507: Chapter 487: Preparing for a Breakthrough

GURGLE~

Dean Liu picked up the teapot, its contents of mountain spring water boiling hot, and poured it over expensive tea leaves.

Steam soon billowed up, filling the air with the fragrance of tea. A hot cup was placed before Lin Qi.

"Try this new tea. It’s made with spring water from the deep mountains of the Otherworld, and the leaves are a Pu’er that was carefully cultivated there as well."

"It has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and is steeped in Source Energy, changing its fundamental nature."

"I was lucky enough to get a few grams. I can hardly bear to drink it most days."

Dean Liu explained with a smile.

Lin Qi still didn’t know much about tea, but he took a small sip. He tasted a unique flavor that seemed to cleanse both his body and mind.

His mind cleared, and a flood of insights about his Cultivation surfaced.

"This tea is amazing!"

Lin Qi’s eyes lit up in admiration. ’Dean Liu really has quite a collection of fine teas,’ he thought.

Dean Liu nodded. "Drinking it from time to time can refresh the mind and enhance one’s Comprehension."

"It also aids in the cultivation of Martial Arts Skills."

"But it’s extremely rare. Typically, only Ninth Realm Martial Artists can afford it."

"We can only afford an occasional taste!"

After a bit of small talk, they returned to the main topic.

Lin Qi spoke up. "Dean Liu, I wanted to ask you about the Seventh Realm."

"I don’t want to be stuck at this bottleneck for too long!"

"Are there any Potions or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can help me break through to the Seventh Realm?"

Dean Liu took a sip of hot tea, a look of enjoyment on his face, then nodded.

"Of course there are."

"The Martial Arts Calendar has a 48-year history. Ever since the Martial Arts Nine Realms were established, the transition from the Sixth to the Seventh Realm has been a major turning point."

"A Seventh Realm Martial Artist is considered a member of the upper echelon in any country."

"Their power undergoes a massive transformation."

"The Martial Arts Nine Realms are divided into nine major stages, one Realm per stage. The Martial Arts Seventh Realm is known as Blood Exchange."

"Through Blood Exchange, you replace all the blood in your body, removing waste and impurities."

"The bone marrow produces new blood, rejuvenating the body and allowing it to undergo a profound transformation."

"The marrow is the key. To break through to the Seventh Realm, your marrow’s Refinement must reach its absolute limit."

"Everyone’s physical limit is different, but you’ll know it instinctively when you reach it."

"And the higher your Marrow quality, the faster you’ll reach that limit."

"Especially with Fourth-grade Marrow, once you reach the state of Refining Marrow Like Frost, you can break through quickly."

Lin Qi nodded to himself. ’For others, reaching Fourth-grade Marrow would be enough, but I’m different. I need to reach Fifth-grade Marrow.’

He called it Glazed Marrow—utterly pure, without a single trace of impurity.

He felt he was still far from his limit and would likely need to continue the Refinement for some time.

Moreover, the remaining impurities were proving extremely difficult to flush out.

Dean Liu continued, "Over the past 48 years, countless geniuses have gotten stuck at this stage."

"It’s just like the Muscle Strengthening Potion, Molting Potion, Tiger Bone Pill, and Five Elements Marrow Cleansing Ointment you’ve taken before."

"Where there’s a need, someone will fill it. And so, after decades of continuous research, a new Potion was developed—the Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion."

"Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion?"

Lin Qi repeated.

Dean Liu nodded. "That’s right, the Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion."

"The Martial Arts Sixth Realm is Marrow Refining. And what is Marrow Refining? It is the Refinement of the body’s bone marrow."

"It involves using your Qi Blood to flush impurities from the marrow, rejuvenating it and unlocking your body’s potential."

"Through daily Marrow Refining, most geniuses manage to clear out the majority of impurities and dregs."

"But some impurities have been growing inside the body since childhood, adhering to the bone marrow, and are not easily detected."

"If you can’t find them, you can’t get rid of them."

"And no piece of technology can detect these impurities; you have to find them yourself."

"The Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion, however, can clear out these impurities."

"It’s able to locate impurities in the bone marrow and eliminate them, thereby improving your Marrow quality and allowing you to quickly break through the threshold to the Seventh Realm."

"Many geniuses at the Peak of the Sixth Realm will try to obtain a Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion to improve their Marrow quality and achieve a breakthrough."

"It helps your body quickly reach its limit so you can break through."

Lin Qi’s eyes lit up. This was exactly the Potion he needed. He asked,

"How can I buy a Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion? It’s not listed on Red Dome House."

Dean Liu smiled and explained,

"Red Dome House is an online shopping platform geared specifically toward Middle and Low Realm Martial Artists."

"Many of the Top Level resources are on a different platform."

"That software is different. You can only use it after you’ve broken through to the Seventh Realm and have started hunting Calamity Beasts on the battlefield."

"Most of the items on it must be purchased with Teaching Points or Merit Points."

"You don’t have either of those right now, so you’ll have to rely on me to buy it for you."

"Since you don’t have any Merit Points or Teaching Points, one bottle of Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion, if converted into currency, would cost about 150 million Xia Country Coins."

Lin Qi nodded to himself. The price was higher than any Potion he had ever bought, but it was still acceptable.

He also felt a sense of gratitude. Merit Points could only be earned by hunting Calamity Beasts, and since Dean Liu spent all his time at the academy, he couldn’t have many.

Dean Liu chuckled.

"Don’t worry, a bottle of Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion won’t cost me too many Teaching Points."

"Just wait patiently for two days, and the Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion will be delivered to your door."

"The materials required for the Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion are precious and the annual production is limited, so many people have to wait a month or two to get their hands on one."

"Take Shen Heng, for example. He had to wait two months to get his Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion before he could successfully break through to the Seventh Realm."

"Otherwise, he would have been stuck for several more months."

"Fortunately, the materials are abundant right now, so they can produce a few extra bottles. You won’t have to wait long at all."
