Chapter 510 - 488: Bone Marrow Cleansing and Blood Exchange

Chapter 510: Chapter 488: Bone Marrow Cleansing and Blood Exchange

"He broke through less than three months after graduation."

The others also started discussing it.

Jiangtao spoke up. "It’s obviously because of the Celestial Vault Institute and its better Cultivation environment."

"And the Level 7 Calamity Beast flesh and blood, plus the more competitive atmosphere."

"It’s only natural his strength is on a different level now."

Everyone nodded.

...

Lin Qi returned to Star Residence, to the luxurious Villa No. 9.

A burly delivery man in a red uniform was already waiting at the door.

Behind him was an oversized truck, from which equally burly workers were busy unloading boxes.

Seeing Lin Qi arrive, the delivery man flashed a warm smile.

"Student Lin Qi, please sign for your package and the Calamity Beast flesh and blood."

Lin Qi nodded, took the tablet, and signed his name.

BEEP!

After his fingerprint was verified, he took a black metal box from the delivery man.

He opened the villa’s door, and the workers moved the boxes of Calamity Beast flesh and blood into the freezer.

Lin Qi helped out as well to speed things up.

"Little Chan, start cooking!"

"Yes, Master!"

Little Chan controlled the smart robot to open a box and take out a large, pre-cut piece of flesh.

SIZZLE!!

The block of meat was sliced into shreds and the cooking began.

A moment later, all the Calamity Beast flesh and blood was stored away. Lin Qi offered the workers some drinks, and they left amidst his thanks.

Lin Qi then sat down at the dining table as the fragrant aroma of food wafted over.

’I have to eat my fill before the breakthrough.’

Lin Qi looked at the home-cooked stir-fried pork with green peppers. The aroma made his mouth water.

Without hesitation, he picked up his bowl and began to eat heartily.

Lin Qi felt extremely hungry; Sixth-Level Calamity Beast meat was no longer enough to satisfy him.

「An hour later.」

Lin Qi slowly stood up. The table was covered in empty plates, and the scent of meat still lingered in the air.

He exhaled a turbid breath. He felt hot all over, completely and utterly full.

For this breakthrough, he had eaten a total of 350 kilograms of Level 7 Calamity Beast flesh and blood, and 50 kilograms of Eighth-Level Calamity Beast flesh and blood.

He was stuffed to the brim, his lower abdomen slightly bloated.

He took the black metal box to the Martial Arts Room.

He had no classes in the afternoon, giving him plenty of time for his breakthrough.

Lin Qi glanced at the large refrigerator nearby. Inside were rows of frozen sports drinks that he would need during his breakthrough.

BEEP!

Fingerprint verification successful. The metal box opened automatically, revealing a vial nestled inside—the Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion was a translucent, Deep Blue liquid.

It looked quite similar to the Blue Marrow Potion Lin Qi had taken before.

But the price difference between them was at least a thousandfold.

Lin Qi sat down cross-legged, slowly opened the vial, and a rich, medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Lin Qi instantly recognized the scents of several precious medicinal herbs.

In his Martial Arts General Education Course, besides learning Martial Arts General Knowledge, they also learned to identify Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

This knowledge would be useful when searching for opportunities deep in the Otherworld in the future.

GULP~

Lin Qi tilted his head back and downed the 100ml Potion in one go.

He hissed, sucking in a sharp breath.

The moment he set the vial down, he felt his entire body begin to heat up.

It felt as if he had been set ablaze; the intense burning sensation made him gasp.

He panted heavily.

Lin Qi’s breathing grew labored. Enduring the intense burning, he used the Advanced Spiritual Control Technique—Ten Thousand Rivers Stream—to begin his Marrow Refining.

Yesterday, he had looked up the instructions for taking the Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion on the Red Dome House forums.

The simplest method was to just drink it and endure the pain for some improvement.

However, if one could withstand the pain and circulate a Bone Marrow Cultivation Technique, the effects would be much greater.

Everyone knew this, but very few could endure the agony of marrow cleansing.

Lin Qi was now getting his first taste of that agony.

BOOM!!

His blood boiled like molten lava, and his organs felt as if they were about to be incinerated.

This was only the beginning. Soon, a sharp pain radiated from his bones, as if countless tiny blades were carving into them.

’Marrow Cleansing. From the name, you’d think it would be a gentle stream washing away impurities from the bone marrow.’

’But that’s not it at all. It’s more like a violent scraping of every inch of bone.’

A cleansing like this could indeed eliminate a large amount of impurities from the marrow within the bones.

It was just an exceptionally painful process.

Lin Qi’s breathing grew heavier. He kept sucking in sharp breaths of cold air, forcing himself to endure the pain and operate his Bone Marrow Cultivation Technique.

Thanks to his high Spiritual Power, he could continue to mobilize his Qi Blood for Marrow Refining even amid the pain.

He looked down at his body, activated his [golden eyes], and they began to emit a dazzling Golden Light.

The functions of Super Vision, X-ray Vision, Energy Vision, and High-speed Capture all activated.

He saw through his skin, observing his entire body.

His powerfully beating heart, his blood rushing like the Yellow River, and the Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion taking effect.

Starting from his head, the marrow in all his bones underwent round after round of "cleansing."

The Potion fully activated his entire body. His other Inner Organs began working at high speed, absorbing the Calamity Beast flesh and blood he had eaten.

It was converted into the Energy Lin Qi needed.

HUM!!

Lin Qi activated his Special Abilities, [Golden Light] and [Jin Feng]. The two powers spiraled into his bloodstream.

Driven by his Spiritual Power, his Qi Blood acted like a high-pressure water jet at full blast, washing through him along with the effects of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion.

Lin Qi gritted his teeth in agony. His face was flushed, veins bulged on his skin, and his entire body was like a battlefield. The pain left him in a wretched state.

DRIP!

Large beads of sweat dripped continuously from his forehead. In just a few moments, a small puddle had formed on the soft mat beneath him.

Amid the intense pain, the effects of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion were on full display.

Lin Qi clearly saw large amounts of impurities being flushed out of his bone marrow, even those that had been disguised as marrow itself.

To his surprise, some impurities were attached to the bones themselves, clinging to tiny corners and crevices, making them extremely difficult to detect.

Without the Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion, it would have probably taken him much more time to find them.

Now, with one vial of the potion in his system, countless impurities were all being flushed out.

These impurities traveled through his bloodstream, were intercepted and filtered by his Five Organs and Six Viscera, and then expelled from his body.

As time passed, Lin Qi’s Martial Arts Uniform was soaked with sweat, which carried large amounts of toxins and waste products out of his body.

Besides the acrid smell of sweat, there was also a faint stench.

And this stench grew stronger as time went on.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qi suddenly shuddered, and his body relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

A wave of understanding washed over him from deep within.

His body’s Marrow Refining had reached its physical limit.

’It’s time to break through!’

In his Spirit Perception, the marrow throughout his bones was pure, without a single trace of impurity.

It was as pure as glazed glass. As the marrow flowed, it contained astonishing vitality.

His Slaughter Tiger Bone felt as if it had been through another Refinement, growing even harder.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion had eliminated the last of the impurities in his body. He had completely achieved Fifth-grade Marrow—Glazed Marrow.

’Time to break through to the Seventh Realm!’

Lin Qi felt waves of power surging through him.

RUMBLE RUMBLE!!

The brand-new marrow began to exhibit astonishing vitality, and Lin Qi’s entire body became active once more.

His blood began to surge through every part of his body.

The intense pain faded, and Lin Qi was immediately hit with a wave of dizziness.

DRIP! DRIP!

He began to sweat profusely, large amounts of it pouring from his pores.

Like an open faucet, sweat flowed out of him endlessly, and the foul, bloody stench grew even stronger.

After a few moments, the sweating stopped, and the smell of blood flooded Lin Qi’s nostrils.

He looked down and saw that, at some point, his Martial Arts Uniform had been dyed blackish-red.
