Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Constitution Like a Tiger, Vitality Like a Dragon

The Innate Pill possessed the miraculous effect of a complete physical rebirth.

It was best consumed at the Eighth Grade Peak.

However, the process wasn’t exactly comfortable.

Because one’s entire body, inside and out, had to undergo a metamorphosis within the short span of a day or two.

This process was intensely fierce, even violent.

Those without a sufficiently firm will would certainly fail to endure it.

Martial Artists usually had to make a lot of preparations before taking it.

Lu Yuan didn’t need to, because he had the Undying Martial Body.

Thus, after briefly informing his family, he entered the underground secret chamber.

"The Innate Pill," Lu Yuan muttered. He took out the Pill, carefully examining it before swallowing it in one gulp.

The Pill melted in his mouth. A unique, ceaseless medicinal power emerged, rapidly transforming into a blazing heat that flooded his entire body.

This medicinal power was incredibly pure, delicate, and miraculous. It easily penetrated deep into his bones, his marrow, and even his brain.

It seeped into every patch of tissue and every single cell, spurring them to grow stronger and sturdier, thereby increasing his origin source.

What followed next was a myriad of strange, unbearable itching and agony that pierced deep into his soul...

Over at the Lin family.

"How much do you think a single Innate Pill can improve Lu Yuan’s Root Bone?" Song Yumeng looked at Lin Siyao and asked.

"Well..." Lin Siyao found it hard to say. She couldn’t boast about it either, as that could easily lead to a sense of disappointment later. "It will improve as much as it can. He isn’t weak to begin with anyway."

"Oh, you..." Song Yumeng rolled her eyes at her daughter. "Normally, an Innate Pill can raise a person’s Root Bone by one tier, or half a tier if they’re unlucky. However, Lu Yuan’s Root Bone has already been enhanced through some unknown method. His upper limit has shrunk, so there isn’t much potential for further improvement.

"But the greatest benefit of the Innate Pill is that it stimulates the body’s origin source and any hidden bloodlines. If he has any special talents, they will be awakened.

"It’s a pity that I’ve never heard of any formidable powerhouses among the Lu family’s ancestors."

Under normal circumstances, an Upper Class Root Bone was the absolute limit for humans.

However, if a special bloodline awakened, it would shatter this limit, elevating them one or even several tiers higher.

That was the Ancestral Vein Power, a product of the Mystical Heavenly Dao.

Such individuals could no longer be viewed as ordinary Martial Artists, but rather as special bloodline Divine Ability Users.

Their combat prowess would also be far superior to ordinary Martial Artists.

Of course, such cases were exceedingly rare, requiring ancestors who had once reached the pinnacle of glory, or those who had intermarried with Great Demons.

Naturally, bloodline awakening wasn’t guaranteed for every descendant; it also depended on the concentration of the bloodline.

In short, their numbers were very few.

The advantage of bloodline divine abilities could be maintained all the way to the Fourth Grade.

Before the Fourth Grade, ordinary Martial Artists would always find themselves at a disadvantage against them.

"Mother, Brother Yuan is already very impressive," Lin Siyao said.

She disliked how her mother always loved to compare and set impossibly high standards. Previously, when his aptitude was indeed average, it was understandable that she looked down on him. But now, he was already a musical prodigy with an Upper Class Root Bone, yet she still wasn’t satisfied.

She thought this was a bit too much!

"Besides, having a special bloodline doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be stronger in the future," Lin Siyao continued. "Although the early stages might be smoother, it can easily become a bottleneck in the later stages.

"Breaking through it won’t be easy.

"But Brother Yuan will rely on himself to become a First-Grade Powerhouse!"

"I didn’t say anything bad. I just wanted his early path to be a bit smoother." Song Yumeng rolled her eyes speechlessly. "You were born into our family, so you don’t know the hardships of ordinary Martial Artists."

"I..." Lin Siyao fell silent.

She really didn’t know the hardships of ordinary Martial Artists.

Everyone in the Lin family possessed extraordinary physiques.

"At the Fourth Grade Dragon Transformation Realm, Brother Yuan will definitely be able to transform into a True Dragon!"

"Mhm, I believe it. Let’s just wait for him to come out," Song Yumeng said no more.

In the blink of an eye, a day and a night passed, and the metamorphosis within the secret chamber was complete.

Lu Yuan walked out from inside.

Looking at the moon in the sky, he felt as if a lifetime had passed.

In just one day and one night, everything seemed different.

The world felt fresher and more intimate.

His perception of the world had become much more sensitive.

This was the feeling of a complete physical rebirth.

Not just his Root Bone, but all aspects of his being had been stimulated, greatly increasing his capabilities.

So this was one of the reasons why formidable powerhouses emerged endlessly from those great aristocratic families.

His talent had improved!

[Root Bone: Upper Class (250)]

Lu Yuan looked at the numerical value of his Root Bone, feeling both moved and special.

250. It had increased by a full 50 points, which was truly significant.

It was comparable to the rewards from five major system quests.

Moreover, this number of 250 should be able to rank among the top-tier geniuses in the Jade Capital.

After all, those who could reach over 250 and approach 300 were considered monsters. There probably weren’t many of them in the entire Jade Capital or even all of Daqian.

Lu Yuan could feel the thick, formidable power of his vitality and blood, as if he could collapse a mountain with a single punch.

Additionally, his internal organs had finally reached major completion.

Under the potent effects of the Innate Pill, his internal organs reached major completion and perfectly harmonized with his physical body.

With just a bit more simple tempering of his Gang Qi, he would achieve complete internal and external transparency, rendering his power as pure as water and perfectly unified.

"You finally came out. What were you tinkering with in the secret chamber?" Wei Huiling appeared and asked.

She didn’t know Lu Yuan was taking the Innate Pill and thought he was busy with something else.

"It’s a secret!" Lu Yuan grinned. "I’ll give you all a big surprise in a few days, otherwise you’d get easily shocked."

"Heh!" Wei Huiling rolled her eyes at him.

"Brother Yuan~~" Lin Siyao appeared on top of the wall.

"Siyao!" Lu Yuan waved.

"My father is looking for you," Lin Siyao said.

"Ah? Oh." Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then hurriedly went over.

With a light leap, he easily vaulted over the two-meter-high wall.

In the courtyard, Lin Qingfeng, Song Yumeng, and Lin Siheng were all present.

"Come here, let me take a look." Lin Qingfeng retained his usual imposing demeanor.

"Okay," Lu Yuan agreed, walking over.

Lin Qingfeng extended a finger and tapped it on Lu Yuan’s shoulder.

ZAP—

A spark of white electricity manifested.

"!" Both Lin Siyao and Lin Siheng were startled.

"Lightning!" Song Yumeng was surprised and shocked.

A bloodline power had actually been awakened within Lu Yuan’s body, and it was the exceptionally fierce and Yang-aligned lightning, no less.

This was something she hadn’t expected.

"Not bad. A Root Bone like a tiger, and vitality like a dragon." Lin Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction. "And there’s the lightning talent..."

"A Root Bone like a tiger still isn’t as strong as mine!" Lin Siheng immediately jumped out to assert his presence.

"Kids, step aside." Lin Siyao quickly reached out and pulled Lin Siheng away. She thought he was just messing around!

"My Root Bone is the strongest, both Father and Mother said so!" Lin Siheng talked back.

"!" Lin Siyao raised her hand, wanting to give him a big slap across the face.

"Now, you finally have the qualifications to pursue the path of a powerhouse," Lin Qingfeng looked at Lu Yuan and said seriously. "The Demon Suppression Bureau has four Cultivation Techniques handed down from ancient times: the Cyan Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise incantations. Together, they are known as the Four Symbols Sacred Technique.

"If you can successfully cultivate all of them, you can forge a First-Grade Foundation..."

"The Four Symbols Sacred Technique..." Lu Yuan’s gaze shifted.

This was the first time he had heard of these.

However, anything handed down from ancient times was bound to be an excellent and powerful Cultivation Technique.

"Father~" Lin Siyao voiced her dissatisfaction. "The Four Symbols Sacred Technique is far too difficult. Out of all the geniuses in the Daqian Dynasty, has anyone completely mastered all of them in the past tens of thousands of years?

"Those are ancient methods; they aren’t quite suitable for the current state of the world anymore."

"We will help him, why are you being so anxious?" Lin Qingfeng cast a glance at Lin Siyao. "Besides, I am merely suggesting it, not forcing it.

"Anyone who can master even one of the Four Symbols techniques is considered a peerless genius with very few rivals.

"If all four are mastered, one would be invincible and capable of sweeping through peers of the same realm.

"They could even battle against, or perhaps suppress, those a whole grade higher...

"If you can cultivate all four, I will then impart to you an Ancestral Deity Technique—the Thick Earth Divine Skill—to synthesize the five elements.

"After that, your path to the First Grade will be exceptionally smooth."
