High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 54: Exchanging Alien Race Elixirs, Resonance of All Five Organs
[You ingested a Third Level Blood Sinking Pill.]
[Half the Effort, Double the Effect was determined to be 3 times!]
[You received 3 times the efficacy of the Blood Essence Pill.]
The Fourth Level elixir had long been exhausted, Su Mu had started taking Third Level Blood Sinking Pills a few days ago. This time, he carefully sensed the absorption and digestion process.
Before long, he nodded secretly.
"The spleen is indeed the foundation of the acquired, currently the absorption of the medicinal power has increased by about 20%, while the digestion speed has increased even more, as much as 30-40%."
The faster digestion speed means more elixirs can be taken in a short time, and improved absorption means that taking the same pill will yield more Qi Blood Power.
In short, it’s faster and more efficient.
"But the elixirs may not be enough... better take a rest first."
Su Mu wasted no time, directly lying down in the cultivation room, waking up to find daytime had turned to night, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
[You completed a session of deep sleep.]
[Half the Effort, Double the Effect was determined to be 2.5 times!]
[You achieved 2.5 times the effect of deep sleep.]
"Amazing, let’s continue cultivating!"
Su Mu, like popping candy, once again swallowed a pill. Amidst a tingling sensation, his internal Qi and blood surged, concentrating intently to solidify and then transform them into a double helix structure of blood lines; the construction of the fourth Qi Blood Bridge began.
Once the five Qi Blood Bridges were completed and connected to the five viscera, one would enter the Fourth Level Middle Stage realm.
Outside the dormitory, Teacher Lin appeared puzzled. He had been responsible for dormitory duties these days, but since seeing Teacher Su enter the dormitory that day, he hadn’t seen Su Mu again.
"Is Teacher Su cultivating that diligently?"
"Take me to the dormitory." Nearby, a cold man carrying a black box walked over.
The commanding tone displeased Teacher Lin, but this person’s status was special, "Mr. Wu Jun, please follow me."
"No need, just this building."
"Mr. Wu Jun, this is Elder Wang’s disciple’s dormitory."
"Elder Wang? I’m not familiar with any Elder Wang from your lousy school." Wu Jun’s face showed disdain.
"Both Elder Wang and Mr. Wu Jun came from South China Martial Arts University, his elder’s name is Wang Shuheng."
"The Half-Step Grandmaster-level Inscription Master closest to the Grandmaster... Wang Shuheng?" Wu Jun was taken aback, his expression changed slightly.
Even in South China Martial Arts University, Wang Shuheng was quite famed, known as a genius in inscriptions, having personally forged a Spiritual Department Grandmaster-level weapon at Sixth Level Rune Master stage; he was once a rising star of inscriptions.
Many speculated that Wang Shuheng could reach the Inscription Grandmaster Realm.
But for unknown reasons, he failed while officially advancing to Grandmaster-level Rune Master.
In the circle of South China Inscription Masters, Wang Shuheng is hailed as the most likely Half-Step Grandmaster-level Rune Master in the South China Region, even more renowned than ordinary Grandmaster-level Rune Masters due to that Spiritual Department Grandmaster-level weapon.
"Then this building it is."
"Sorry, this is Elder Wang’s other disciple’s dormitory."
Wu Jun’s expression stiffened, his voice turned cold, "Take me to... my dormitory."
...
At the Linjiang Base City Lord’s Mansion, City Lord Lu Lin gazed out the window, feeling something not quite right these days, yet couldn’t pinpoint the anomaly.
There was a knock at the door outside.
"Come in."
A young woman brought in a cup of coffee, "City Lord Lu, here’s the coffee you requested."
"Alright, leave it here."
Lu Lin took a few sips of coffee, breathed a sigh of relief, probably due to the imminent reassignment to South China, ready to leave this rundown place, his mind was restless. He dismissed further thoughts, continuing his paperwork.
"What’s this...?"
A pattern in the lower right corner of a document changed Lu Lin’s expression dramatically. He jumped up in fright, instinctively scanning around, then drew the curtains and began pacing back and forth after reading the document.
...
On the sixth day, Su Mu poured an entire bottle of First Level Qi Blood Pills into his mouth, it was the last bottle of pills he had.
He was in a critical moment of the fourth Qi Blood Bridge construction.
"Just a bit more, the very last bit!"
[You received 1.5 times the efficacy from the Qi Blood Pill.]
[You gained 2 times the insight and experience from Qi Blood Bridge construction.]
[You gained 3.5 times the insight and experience from liver resonance.]
Finally, repeatedly triggering the Half the Effort, Double the Effect superpower, amidst tremors, his fourth Qi Blood Bridge successfully reached the liver resonance state.
A piercing pain struck.
But at this moment, Su Mu had already adapted. He gritted his teeth, and soon his whole body trembled.
At this point, the fourth Qi Blood Bridge connected to the liver and was completely formed.
Su Mu’s entire body surged with restless Qi and blood, and the aura around him began to rise continuously.
[You’ve gained a 2.5 times increase in Qi and blood growth.]
Several minutes later, Su Mu opened his eyes and let out a long breath. At this point, four of the Five Viscera—heart, lungs, spleen, and liver—were connected, leaving only the kidneys to be linked.
He was just one step away from reaching the fourth level, middle stage.
"Not bad, faster than expected by a day!"
But now Su Mu faced an awkward problem. In sixteen days, he had exhausted all his elixirs, including those from the Magic Box, leaving not a single drop.
Su Mu accessed the database of the Martial Arts Association, and after searching for a while, for the first time in half a month, he left the Cultivation Room.
He went to the Elixir Medicine Academy.
Along the way, Su Mu felt strange gazes, but he paid them no mind.
"Are you Teacher Su? Did you encounter some difficulty?"
Currently, Su Mu was disheveled, with a face full of stubble. The martial artist’s Qi Blood was strong, and he was physically robust, especially after linking the four viscera, with vigorous hair growth and sweating profusely during cultivation.
Having not showered for half a month and fully focused on cultivation, Su Mu now resembled a homeless person.
Su Mu shook his head, and a flash of Spiritual Light appeared in his hand, revealing a bottle of Alien Race Elixir. He had found in the Martial Arts Association’s database that these alien elixirs were mostly not suitable for direct consumption.
However, due to their rarity and research value, they could often be exchanged for a larger quantity of same-level elixirs at the Martial Arts Association, Martial Arts University, or Black Market.
"Can this elixir be exchanged at the academy for the corresponding ones?"
"That’s an Alien Race Elixir!" The young instructor at the Elixir Medicine Academy took the elixir, poured out one pill, and after recognizing it said, "This should be an alien’s Black Blood Pill, equivalent to a fourth-level Blood Essence Pill, and the quality is quite good. According to the recent exchange rates, this bottle of twenty pills can be exchanged for twenty-five Blood Essence Pills."
"If you have other alien elixirs, our Elixir Medicine Academy will take them all."
"Alright." Su Mu was delighted in his heart; the rate was even higher than he had found. He waved his hand.
Instantly, twenty-nine bottles of alien elixirs appeared on the table, together with the Black Blood Pill, making exactly thirty bottles.
Seeing thirty bottles of elixirs, the young instructor was dumbfounded, having thought Su Mu had at most seven or eight bottles.
"Teacher Su, please wait a moment; I will go call Director Wen."
Not long after, an elder about fifty years old with glasses came over, his eyes glowing at the sight of the alien elixirs on the table.
"This is a fourth-level Beast Blood Pill, this is a Chaotic Blood Pill, and there’s a Blood Worm Pill; these are quite rare..."
Director Wen identified them one by one; there were six bottles of fourth-level elixirs, fifteen bottles of third level, and nine bottles of second level.
"Teacher Su, did you get all these from that fifth-level alien on the battlefield?"
Just as he spoke, Director Wen realized his lapse and instantly changed the topic, "We’ll take all these elixirs, and since you’re one of us at the school, we’ll exchange an extra pill for each of the fourth-level elixirs, on top of the base twenty-five."
"For the other elixirs, an extra two pills; how does that sound?"
"Alright, then please, Director Wen, exchange them all for cultivation elixirs for me."
"Sure."
Half an hour later, Su Mu left satisfied, carrying dozens of bottles of elixirs. He also thought of the weapons in the ring; he needed to find time to deal with them, exchanging them for Spirit Stones or elixirs as cultivation resources.
"It’s been rumored that Teacher Su was just lucky, relying solely on poisonous mists to kill the fifth-level alien, but carrying so many elixirs suggests the alien wasn’t weak. Teacher Su might not be as simple as the rumors say," Director Wen mused with narrowed eyes.
Five days later.
[You gained 2.5 times understanding and experience in Qi Blood Bridge Construction.]
[You gained 3.5 times understanding and experience in kidney resonance.]
[You gained a 3.5 times increase in Qi and blood growth.]
...
Su Mu’s whole body trembled uncontrollably. At the moment the fifth bridge officially connected to the kidneys, the Five Viscera resonated, with the heart beating powerfully, and the Five Viscera became integrated, forming a whole.
Boom!
A brand-new door opened for Su Mu.
Crack.
Something intangible inside Su Mu shattered; the barrier to the fourth-level middle stage was broken. Instantly, Qi and blood surged turbulently, and his aura began to soar accordingly.
[You’ve successfully advanced to the fourth-level middle stage, completing a realm breakthrough.]
[Half the Effort, Double the Effect judged as 3 times!]
[You’ve gained 3 times understanding and experience in the fourth-level middle stage.]
...
