Chapter 205: Frenzied Enhancement

Besides the two large bottles of elixirs from Meng Yu Jin, Chen Yue had already accumulated plenty of his own—enough to last him for some time.

Inner Strength flowed through his meridians. The Celestial Demon Burning Technique ignited a trace of his Heart Spirit and Qi Blood, transforming it into a pure, propulsive force. This force pushed the Medicinal Power released from the elixir deeper into his meridians, accelerating the refining process.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi materialized in his perception. Drawn by his Sword Intent, it slowly gathered on the surface of his skin before being absorbed into his body, where it merged with the elixir’s Medicinal Power and flowed into his meridians.

In just a few moments, the Medicinal Power within the Nourishing Spirit Pill Yang Pill was completely absorbed.

Simultaneously, a flood of insights regarding the Fifth Layer of the Vast Heart Rock Skill surged into his Sea of Consciousness.

Insights unfolded before him: the unique rhythm of coordinating Qi Veins with elixirs in the Refining Organ Realm, and how to make the Vast Heart Rock Skill more effective during cultivation in this realm.

At the same time, a faint trace of insight into the Celestial Demon Burning Technique also surfaced. However, it was scarce and fragmented, scattered at the edges of his Sea of Consciousness, impossible to piece together into a complete picture.

After all, this Cultivation Technique had already reached Perfection. With Chen Yue’s current experience and Cultivation, he was unable to elevate it to the Innate Realm. The technique had already gone as far as it could, reaching a summit from which it could not currently climb any higher.

Chen Yue opened his eyes and took another Nourishing Spirit Pill Yang Pill.

With his Cultivation having broken through to the Refining Organ Realm and the addition of the Celestial Demon Burning Technique, the number of Nourishing Spirit Pill Yang Pills he consumed daily was about to set a new record.

Four hours passed in a flash. Outside the corridor, the bright noon sky slowly gave way to afternoon. Sunlight streamed through the gaps between the pillars, casting long, slanted shadows on the ground.

Chen Yue sat in the middle of the corridor, several empty bottles now resting on the flagstones before him.

Within those four hours, he had consumed a total of twelve Nourishing Spirit Pill Yang Pills in a row before he finally felt his meridians reach their limit.

He rose to his feet and summoned the Jinghong Saber from the back of his hand. In the dim light of the corridor, the blade’s body glowed with fiery red patterns, resembling a solidified flame.

He began to cultivate the Furious Wave Saber Intent. He didn’t use any complex Sword Techniques, just the simplest of slashes, one after another.

The edge of the saber carved straight arcs through the air, accompanied by a sharp, short whistle. Every slash carried an unstoppable momentum.

With every downward slash, three distinct sets of sensations resonated simultaneously in his mind. These three feelings intertwined, making his understanding of the Furious Wave Saber Intent increasingly complete.

After cultivating the Furious Wave Saber Intent for an hour, Chen Yue retracted the saber into his body and once again sat down cross-legged.

He took out and consumed a Bone Marrow Cleansing and Body Refining Pill. He didn’t take many of these, planning for now to consume three per day.

For him, the primary value of the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Body Refining Pill no longer lay in body refinement, but in its trace effect of Marrow Cleansing and Bone Forging.

As for the Body Tempering aspect, his Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell was already taking care of it, so there was no need to consume additional elixirs for that purpose.

From within the Wenda Corridor, he could vaguely sense the changing sky. The light outside had noticeably dimmed, shifting from the bright gold of the afternoon to the soft afterglow of dusk.

Then, the orange-red hues slowly faded, replaced by a deepening blue-gray as night fell.

The gloom within the corridor deepened, and the peculiar aura in the air grew more distinct.

Chen Yue began to cultivate the Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell. He assumed his stance in the middle of the corridor, his movements steady and slow.

As time went on, Chen Yue would periodically pause to deduce Pill Formulas.

He discovered that even though he wasn’t actually performing Alchemy, just sitting in the corridor and running deductions in his mind, inspiration still came to him frequently.

Compared to other places, the boon this Wenda Corridor provided for Cultivation was truly astonishing.

Its feedback for Cultivation Techniques and inspiration for Pill Formulas covered nearly every aspect of one’s training.

As the night deepened, Chen Yue sat in the center of the corridor, his breathing steady and deep.

Within the Wenda Corridor, the night beyond the pillars on either side was as thick as ink, and the sky was blanketed with a dense spread of brilliant stars.

When midnight arrived, a familiar ripple spread before his eyes.

[Daily Settlement]

[Diligent Cultivation: Cultivation +405]

[Diligent Cultivation of Vast Heart Rock Skill: Experience +3,135]

[Diligent Cultivation of Soaring Void Thousand Layer Step: Experience +3,023]

[Diligent Cultivation of Furious Wave Saber Intent: Experience +3,253]

[Diligent Cultivation of Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell: Experience +15,932]

…

[Vast Heart Rock Skill, Fifth Layer (Perfection 30,821 / 31,127)]

[Soaring Void Thousand Layer Step (Perfection 34,947 / 35,413)]

[Furious Wave Saber Intent (Great Success 28,135 / 29,875)]

[Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell (Limit Break 129,715 / 473,510)]

[Refining Organ Realm (406 / 29,256)]

Chen Yue stared at the flickering text and data on the panel. His aura seemed to freeze for an instant, and he couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath.

The most normal increase was his Cultivation, which had reached 405 points.

Having left the environment of the Gathering Essence Spirit Platform, which was rich in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the rate of his Cultivation growth had indeed dropped as expected.

However, when compared to his daily growth rate of just over 200 Cultivation points back in the Marrow Refining Realm, his current growth rate in the Refining Organ Realm was still double, even without the Gathering Essence Spirit Platform.

After his realm breakthrough, his Cultivation growth hadn’t slowed down from crossing the threshold. Instead, it had increased by a large margin.

This was the complete opposite of the rhythm for most Martial Artists, whose cultivation slows the higher their realm.

At this rate, Chen Yue could attempt to break through to the Innate Realm in less than three months.

Less than three months to go from the early Refining Organ Realm to the threshold of the Innate Realm… This speed would seem utterly absurd to those disciples who had been stuck at the peak of the Refining Organ Realm for years.

Chen Yue’s gaze shifted downward, looking at the Experience Points gained for each Cultivation Technique.

Even though Chen Yue was mentally prepared, knowing the Wenda Corridor’s feedback would grant far more experience than usual, seeing the actual numbers still felt utterly preposterous.

Back in the Marrow Refining Realm, he had gained just over five hundred experience points per day for each Cultivation Technique, which Chen Yue had already considered very fast.

Now, in the Refining Organ Realm and inside the Wenda Corridor, that number had increased by more than five times across the board.

The daily gain for every Cultivation Technique exceeded three thousand points. The most absurd of all was the Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell, which had yielded a staggering 15,932 Experience Points in a single day.

‘Looked at this way, the experience needed for the Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell doesn’t seem so daunting anymore.’

Of course, this exaggerated effect was only possible in the Wenda Corridor. But making use of these three days would be enough for all his Cultivation Techniques to undergo a transformation.

Chen Yue closed his eyes and began to absorb the massive flood of insights on his Cultivation Techniques.

He rapidly digested the insights, which gradually became bodily instincts, integrating themselves into the memory of every cell.

The next day, Chen Yue resumed his training with the same rhythm as the day before.

The circulation of Inner Strength for the Vast Heart Rock Skill, the stance-based tempering of the Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell, the burst of afterimages from the Soaring Void Thousand Layer Step, the repeated slashes of the Furious Wave Saber Intent—he performed each step of his regimen methodically.

The feedback from the Wenda Corridor continued to appear in sync each time he circulated a Cultivation Technique, with three distinct sets of insights constantly pouring into his Sea of Consciousness.

「Time passed in a flash, and soon it was midnight.」

[Daily Settlement]

[Diligent Cultivation: Cultivation +408]

…

[Vast Heart Rock Skill, Fifth Layer (Perfection)]

[Soaring Void Thousand Layer Step (Perfection)]

[Furious Wave Saber Intent (Perfection 1,518 / 91,258)]

…

Chen Yue’s gaze swept over the panel, line by line. When he saw the two lines indicating that both the Fifth Layer of his Vast Heart Rock Skill and his Soaring Void Thousand Layer Step had reached Perfection, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved into a faint smile.

Two of his Cultivation Techniques, thanks to the feedback from the Wenda Corridor, had finally reached complete Perfection.

Even his Furious Wave Saber Intent had officially surpassed Great Success and entered the Perfection Realm.

A deluge of insights echoed within his Sea of Consciousness. Like a flood gathering in a valley after a torrential downpour, it surged in a powerful but orderly fashion, washing over every corner of his Heart Spirit.

Fragments of information regarding the Vast Heart Rock Skill and the Soaring Void Thousand Layer Step slowly settled within his Sea of Consciousness.

Chen Yue finally understood exactly what he had been lacking in his mastery of the Vast Heart Rock Skill and the Soaring Void Thousand Layer Step.

A moment later, Chen Yue opened his eyes and slowly got to his feet.
