Chapter 1529: A Bull Eats Peonies

Chapter 1529: Chapter 1529: A Bull Eats Peonies

The Taiyi Elixir entered his mouth, tasting different from what he had smelled before, more of a bitter taste, but still acceptable.

Lin Tian closed his eyes, placing his hands on the Thousand Jin Rock, releasing a trace of Spiritual Qi to communicate with it. Soon, his mind was immersed within, once again feeling the vastness of the Thousand Jin Rock Formation.

When facing this array, Lin Tian’s heart always held a feeling of ’contemplating the boundlessness of heaven and earth alone, teary-eyed in solitude!’

Abstractly speaking, it’s like standing in a corner of the universe, using his own eyes to view the boundless galaxy, feeling himself as nothing but a mayfly in heaven and earth, small enough to be a negligible sense of ancient desolation.

However, this feeling was quickly diluted. Because Lin Tian had become too familiar with this array, merely comprehending a fraction of it.

He didn’t know why his master wanted him to do this, but he wouldn’t say, and Lin Tian didn’t ask.

On the other hand, he simultaneously began to reverse the Heart Method. Spiritual Qi and blood flowed in the opposite direction to usual, causing Lin Tian to feel like every inch of his veins was about to explode. A sensation of numbness, itchiness, and pain.

Especially the heart, which was rhythmically beating, but now was twitching uncontrollably, with no rhythm at all.

The sensation was like something stabbing his heart, bringing waves of excruciating pain.

This feeling lasted for a full two hours, during which Lin Tian’s breath stopped for two hours.

His whole body soaked in the medicinal bath, his body petrified, seeming to have entered a long sleep.

Until two hours later, the quiet room suddenly filled with heavy breathing. Lin Tian’s consciousness gradually recovered, he breathed greedily like someone who had survived drowning, cherishing every bit of air.

Just now, Lin Tian felt like he had passed through two centuries so long. He truly thought he was going to die, the reverse Heart Method was too torturous, being able to live means the heavens spared him, not taking his wretched life.

But it almost took half his life, utterly exhausted, the pain in his heart hadn’t stopped, even though the veins had reversed. Now it was hard for him to enter a state of cultivation. Just being able to breathe evenly was good enough.

After nearly three more hours, Lin Tian gradually calmed down. He was also delighted to find that his state had become more relaxed! Even multitasking didn’t tire him as much.

Soon he found the reason among it! The reversed meridians and the Thousand Jin Rock Formation had a unique similarity! When reversing the Heart Method, he could more clearly sense the Thousand Jin Rock Formation. Whereas before he only understood one or two types, now saying five wouldn’t be too much!

"Master, did you already know..." Lin Tian was shockingly astonished, managing to speak with Yu Yang while multitasking, which was simply miraculous.

Yu Yang chuckled and said, "Yes. When you came from Kanyue City to South City initially, I placed part of my mind on the Thousand Jin Rock. A thousand years ago I was already at the Grotto Heaven Realm, and coupled with nearly a thousand years of experiences, my vision naturally surpasses yours greatly. After a few days of understanding, I quickly discovered the Thousand Jin Rock Formation surrounding your Sea of Qi’s veins, if reversed it would be even smoother."

While listening, a smile gradually appeared on Lin Tian’s face. Indeed, accepting this master wasn’t in vain! His assistance to him was truly substantial! With him, he had avoided countless detours on his cultivation path.

"Before breaking through the Late Stage Golden Elixir, you should get accustomed to the feel of reversing the Heart Method, best able to handle it freely back and forth. Previously, you nearly passed out for over two hours, a painful experience for you, but with more practice, you’ll get used to it, the pain will lessen significantly, and there won’t be the sensation of passing out or even rapid breathing."

"..."

Lin Tian almost collapsed on the spot, what? He had to get used to it? Isn’t this too cruel!

Of course, Lin Tian understood his master meant well for him, but... it was really hard to accept.

"Alright then, stop the lamenting. The Taiyi Elixir should have dissolved, now it’s already integrated into your blood, next you aren’t allowed even a shred of distraction. Don’t think having reversed the Heart Method means your suffering has ended. It’s just the beginning, the Late Stage Golden Elixir isn’t so easily broken through!"

After the master’s words, Lin Tian promptly cast aside extraneous thoughts, entirely settling his heart.

At this time, he had a very subtle feeling. It was as if the Thousand Jin Rock was part of his body, like hands and feet. Lin Tian’s Spiritual Qi flowed inward toward the blade, completing a cycle, then flowed back again. This in turn made the Spiritual Qi much purer.

Entirely settling his heart, Lin Tian forgot the passage of time. When he gradually came to his senses, he didn’t need to manually rotate the Heart Method, the Spiritual Qi could circulate automatically.

This used to be an impossible thing! To make the Spiritual Qi flow, he had to stimulate the Sea of Qi or Golden Core. Previously the Spiritual Qi was ’stagnant water,’ now it’s ’living water,’ meaning Lin Tian could cultivate every second, which puts him far ahead of others! It’s even better than Wang Xingkong’s fasting skill!

Moreover, Lin Tian could feel the oppressive sensation around him was almost gone. The thick feeling disappeared without a trace, and Lin Tian could feel through his pores on the surface, that the medicinal bath’s water level had drastically decreased, becoming much clearer.

This means the medicinal effects have almost been absorbed.

The bath primarily strengthens the entire skeletal structure, veins, muscles, and skin. The effect is extremely significant!

If Lin Tian’s previous meridians were likened to a blade of grass, then now his meridians are a thick tendon, resilient thousands of times more than before.

Moreover, his skin couldn’t be harmed unless using Divine Artifacts like the Thousand Jin Rock, Thousand Cyan Threads, or Hidden Dragon Sword.

Additionally, after all this time, the Taiyi Elixir had been completely absorbed as well. Lin Tian hadn’t noticed any notable enhancement from it, as if he hadn’t taken it at all. Could it be after centuries, the medicinal effect completely vanished?

Nevertheless, this thought was overheard by Yu Yang, who instantly showered him with abuse: "Goodness, you brat! Really a cow chewing peonies! Without the Taiyi Elixir, you’d have died reversing meridians earlier! Plus, your body becoming so strong, its credit is immense! You think a Grotto Heaven Realm master crafting pills is a joke?"

"And! Only a young, vigorous brat like you would feel like a cow chewing peonies. If Wang Xingkong eats it, he’d feel as if returning to his youthful days, you think the Elixir of Immortality is called that for nothing?"
