Creating Demonic Cultivation Techniques against Non-human Races-Chapter 97: Breakthrough to Fourth Grade, Resonance Ascension, Qi Blood Doubled, Overwhelming Battle Power, Incomplete Grandmaster
"Ascending from Third Grade Peak to Fourth Grade requires starting the tempering of the five viscera: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. The liver is associated with wood, the heart with fire, the spleen with earth, the lungs with metal, and the kidneys with water. The five elements correspond to the five viscera, requiring the use of Qi and blood to build five bridges, connecting them into a whole."
"Building a single bridge of Qi and blood is the Fourth Grade Initial Rank, and completing all five bridges is the Fourth Grade Middle Rank."
"If the foundation is insufficient previously, causing the Qi and blood limit to be inadequate when ascending from Third Grade to Fourth Grade, you can only build bridges slowly, progressing from the Fourth Grade Initial Rank in cultivation."
"However, if the foundation is robust, you can build all five bridges of Qi and blood in one go, skip the Initial Rank, and start cultivation directly from the Middle Rank."
"As of now, with my current Qi and blood, building five bridges is simply effortless."
Muttering to himself, Lin Ping’an closed his eyes, immersing his mind within his body, and started the visualization and perception in his mind.
In an instant, everything within his body became vividly clear.
Qi and blood flowed with his will, constructing bridges of Qi and blood simultaneously between the five viscera in his chest.
...ten minutes...twenty minutes...thirty minutes...
As time gradually passed, the progress continued to rise. Lin Ping’an controlled his Qi and blood to continuously construct, constantly monitoring the difference in speed.
Finally, after one hour.
All five bridges of Qi and blood were connected at the same instant. Between the five viscera, Qi and blood circulated endlessly, automatically tempering the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys with each pass.
By this time, he successfully transformed from a Third Grade Peak Martial Artist to a Middle Grade Martial Artist of the Fourth Grade Middle Rank.
It was at this precise moment of breakthrough that an anomaly suddenly appeared. All 206 tempered bones in Lin Ping’an’s body, reached 100% refinement, emitting a soft golden light, seemingly resonating with the five viscera.
This resonance also began to produce a faint golden glow, with the frequency between the two gradually aligning.
Subsequently, as the anomaly occurred in the five viscera, the organs rapidly transformed and evolved.
Within the red Qi and blood flowing between them, faint golden spots also appeared, imbued within, bringing gradual changes to the entire body with their movement.
As time ticked away, cells, blood, muscles, bones, and skin throughout the body all began to evolve.
At this moment, sitting cross-legged in the living room of Villa No. 1, Lin Ping’an’s entire body emanated a faint golden radiance.
From dim to bright, the brightness gradually increased.
In mere moments, he transformed into a being akin to a small golden figure, emanating a slightly dazzling golden light through the living room window, tremendously captivating.
Fortunately, this was a standalone villa and no one was nearby, so it didn’t attract others’ attention.
Otherwise, it might have caused some trouble.
At the same time, Lin Ping’an felt that the Qi and blood in his body were continuously compressed and sublimated, clearing out half of the space.
Then, the continuous cultivation feedback from cultivators of the Painful Demon Body quickly replenished it before sublimating again into Qi and blood with a faint golden glow.
An hour later.
Lin Ping’an opened his eyes, surprised by his current state. With a thought, he retracted the external golden glow, hiding it away.
Casually clenching his fist, a sound of breaking through the air exploded in the atmosphere.
"Such strong power, the Qi and blood total limit has increased by more than double compared to before the breakthrough, and the strength has improved countless times."
"It feels as if I could easily defeat my former Third Grade Peak self. Is this the enhancement from a 100% bone tempering breakthrough?"
"It was definitely worth the time spent tempering the bones for so many days."
Looking at the panel, it was as expected.
[Name: Lin Ping’an]
[Qi Blood: 70,000 calories]
[Spiritual Power: 2500 Hertz]
[Martial Arts Realm: Fourth Grade Middle Rank (Nine Times Body Tempering, Eleven Times Bone Tempering, Bridge of the Five Viscera Complete, Heart 1% Liver 1% Spleen 1% Stomach 1% Kidney 1%)]
[Created Techniques: Painful Demon Body (Yellow Level), Concealing Breath Technique (Yellow Level), Stealth Technique (Profound Level), Immortal Evil Demon Body (Earth Level), Abi Dao Three Blades (Earth Level), Divine Concealment Technique (Earth Level), White Bone Celestial Demon Visualization Method (Earth Level)]
[Civilization Value: 539310]
Pondering slightly, Lin Ping’an deduced why the Qi Blood limit reached 70,000 calories.
Originally at 30,000 calories at Third Grade Peak, with the construction of five bridges of Qi and blood, each bridge increased by 1,000 calories, totaling 5,000 calories.
After the breakthrough, the resonance tempered, compressed, and sublimated, doubling the Qi blood with a base of 35,000 calories, it directly became 70,000 calories.
Understanding this, a smile appeared on his face, and his tone carried a hint of joy.
"70,000 calories? What a delightful surprise."
"Based on rough data from the academy, a Qi Blood of 50,000 calories is the standard for initial entry into the Eighth Grade. Even if there might be slight discrepancies with reality, it’s roughly correct."
"Never thought that in one sublimation, the total Qi Blood value would leap so significantly."
"The current Qi Blood value of 70,000 calories probably equates to the Eighth Grade Middle Rank. Although, besides the Qi blood, the other five viscera and six bowels, meridians, and spiritual aspects haven’t caught up."
"As it stands, my combat power likely equates to a flawed Eighth Grade powerhouse."
"Considering this, using the Abi Ancestral Hell Three Blades to contend with the Seventh Grade Realm shouldn’t be much of a problem."
With the combat power significantly enhanced, Lin Ping’an felt extremely satisfied.
High Grade combat power in the current Human Race is enough for self-preservation.
Of course, even so, it’s not yet the time to reveal everything.
Yet, it gives him enough confidence and time to proceed with the next plans, creating and promoting diverse cultivation techniques.
If possible, Lin Ping’an could also create a technique to alter appearances and auras, allowing him to showcase the identity of "Warrior of Love," representing a Seventh Grade Civilization Master.
Certain things can’t be done under his own identity, but can be achieved using an alternate identity.
Moments later, after a quick clean-up, Lin Ping’an walked out of Villa No. 1, heading towards the cafeteria.
In these days of intense cultivation, he hadn’t left the villa, experimenting with cooking the Fourth and Fifth Grade ingredients from the Space Ring whenever he felt hungry.
Although he had learned much about medicinal cuisine making from the reading list recommended by Song Changkong,
there’s always some gap between theory and practice.
As they say, "No one is perfect," and after these days of cooking, Lin Ping’an realized his talent in this area was somewhat lacking.
Even following the steps with identical methods, the final effects might match, but the taste alone challenged human taste buds.
Now, with the breakthrough accomplished, it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy some fine cuisine, satisfying his hunger.
With such powerful cultivation, why not take the time to enjoy it?
Walking down the road, occasionally, new and old students passed by, and when they saw Lin Ping’an, they all showed surprised expressions.
"Hey? Isn’t that... Lin Ping’an? He actually came out!"
"Oh my god! I haven’t seen him for days! Today I’m lucky to see him! Truly unexpected!"
"Rare! Truly rare! Never heard of someone this recluse."
"Lin Ping’an is out? He seems a bit different than before, did he... did he break through?"
"No way! That’s the Fourth Grade realm! Haven’t heard anything about Lin Ping’an breaking through!"
"I bet he just created a new cultivation technique, so he came out!"
"..."
Recently, Lin Ping’an had stayed secluded, and his sudden appearance indeed caught his classmates off guard.
