No one noticed, or rather, no one dared to notice, that on the wall in the direction he turned his head, there was a painting.
The painting depicted a young woman, at that mont, her face blossod with a brilliant and carefree smile...
The shadowy figure gazed at the woman in the painting, a smile also appeared on his face, as if he rembered sothing.
But soon, that smile faded away, replaced by a face that was sowhat grim and ferocious!
.....
The following days for Su Chen were almost exclusively devoted to cultivation.
Moreover, he was not cultivating at ho; instead, he went to the manor by Laixing Lake for training because he felt he was on the verge of a breakthrough, and there were fewer people there to disrupt him.
Ordinarily, cultivation was fine, but at this critical juncture of breaking through the ridian Expansion Realm, he didn't dare to show the slightest negligence.
In terms of realm, this was a place he had never reached before!
Actually, in the past, even before he started practicing the Nine Yang Divine Technique, he thought breaking through the ridian Expansion Realm would be extrely difficult.
But he didn't expect that when it actually ca to this mont, he hardly faced any obstacles, and it hadn't been long since he reached the half-step ridian Expansion stage!
This was due to several factors, the most important being the uniqueness of the Nine Yang Divine Technique.
Another factor was that he usually cultivated in the Gathering Yuan Formation, which greatly accelerated his speed.
There's also another reason why his cultivation speed increased significantly, although he's still unclear about what that reason is.
Today was his fourth day cultivating at the manor, and at this mont, he was tightly gripping a spirit stone, continuously absorbing the abundant and pure Yuan Qi within, to breakthrough the final two bottlenecks!
Before, he hadn't used spirit stones, but now at the final mont, he finally decided to use them.
In the first two days, Su Chen only trained at the manor during the day and went back to sleep at night, but in the recent two days, he had been training there non-stop!
Although Su Chen had set up a formation here, making the Yuan Qi much purer than elsewhere, it still couldn't compare to the quality of Yuan Qi in spirit stones!
And the more abundant and pure the Yuan Qi impacting the ridians' bottlenecks, the better, even though it also intensifies the tearing pain!
The Yuan Qi continually struck the remaining bottlenecks in the already cleared parts, over and over again, each impact felt like it was tearing through his nerves with pain!
His clothes were already soaked with sweat, as if he had just been fished out of a river!
"Whew, another one cleared!"
Half an hour later, he let out a long breath, the second to last bottleneck was finally cleared!
Now, only the final bottleneck remained, if he could clear it, he would genuinely enter the ridian Expansion Realm!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a bit excited!
He then lit a cigarette to calm his nerves a bit.
Five minutes later, he resud his cultivation.
As he absorbed the Yuan Qi from the spirit stone, it gradually depleted, and its color slowly faded.
"Boom!"
It was unclear how much ti had passed when suddenly a booming sound echoed within his body, and the final bottleneck was finally cleared!
With this last bottleneck cleared, the first ridian was ford, and he imdiately felt an overwhelming amount of True Yuan surging through the ridian, like tumultuous winds and waves!
This turmoil lasted for almost an hour, causing him great discomfort!
However, after enduring this period of agitation, it seed like the True Yuan ford so kind of resonance with his ridians!
To use an analogy, if the ridians were a flute, the cleared apertures were like the holes on the flute, and the True Yuan was like the air, together they could produce beautiful music!
This feeling was comfortable and wonderful, sothing that could only be experienced and not conveyed in words!
"So this is the ridian Expansion Realm!"
Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes, feeling the vast True Yuan contained within the newly ford ridians, muttering to himself.
At this mont, he clearly felt that the richness and purity of True Yuan within him had taken a qualitative leap compared to before!
Unlike previous breakthroughs, this ti the True Yuan didn't uncontrollably spill out, causing his clothes to tear apart!
Instead, the True Yuan wreaked havoc within his body!
In fact, when he had reached the half-step ridian Expansion in the Lingyue Palace dungeon last ti, this trend had already erged, otherwise, it would have been utterly humiliating!
If it had been like before, wouldn't ng Jiao that little girl think he was a pervert when she saw him?
The answer would surely be yes!
Su Chen then took a bath, shaved, changed into clean clothes, and walked out of the room into the courtyard!
Standing in the courtyard, he couldn't wait to test the power of the ridian Expansion Realm!
He looked at the stone that he had previously shattered into half, and struck it once more, the overwhelming True Yuan instantly surged towards the stone, which was already deeply embedded in the ground.
"Boom boom boom!"
Imdiately, a series of explosions sounded, and the stone was not just fractured like last ti, but almost shattered into countless small fragnts!
Even the part embedded in the ground was the sa!
"Wow, this is so powerful!"
Su Chen was stunned by the sight before him!
He felt that even if he were to fight Elder Chen from Shengyi Gate now, although he couldn't guarantee a victory, he at least had the power to contend with him!
He believed that if he could reach the ridian Expansion Second or Third Layer, he would surely be able to defeat him!
Thinking about this, his joy from the breakthrough diminished considerably!
Because the Nine Yang Divine Technique inscribed on the sheepskin scroll ended here, what should he do for future cultivation?
If he had no other goals, he would be content with what he had achieved, but the Judgnt Departnt and Shengyi Gate were still standing in his way!
However, there was nothing he could do about it for now, so he decided to temporarily set it aside!
"Oh right, I've been so focused on cultivation these past few days that I forgot to ask that old bastard for stuff!"
Su Chen suddenly thought, and a fox-like smile appeared on his lips.
He then drove to Zhuge Dongming's courtyard.
"The robber is here again!"
As soon as Xia Zi in the courtyard saw Su Chen's figure, his face changed dramatically, he scread, and ran towards the house.
It really looked like a villager fleeing from the invading bandits!
Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth:
"Am I really that scary?"
If Zhuge Dongming heard this, he would surely answer without hesitation:
"Yes!"
And Xia Zi would definitely nod in agreent while hiding behind his master...
