Ten days pass by in a blink.
Just after dinner, it's getting dark.
At the door of the dormitory, Chen Yun expressed gratitude, "Thank you, Brother Wang and Brother Yu, for the countless times you've altered my clothing recently. I appreciate it."
"No problem, it's my duty to do needlework with Green Ping anyway."
Wang Siyan looked inside and smiled, "I didn't realize your room was so tidy and clean."
Chen Yun holds two new sets of clothes and casually said: "Perhaps I like to be clean."
Wang Siyan nodded, "It's rare to find a man who is so particular about cleanliness. Alright, I'll go back first. If the clothes don't fit, I'll bring them over again."
"Alright, Brother, take your time."
Chen Yun waved goodbye to her.
After Wang Siyan left.
He turned around and closed the door immediately.
It's strange, the woman has been unintentionally getting closer to me lately.
Coincidentally, Chen Yun has been drinking tiger whip soup and refining essence to cultivate spirit, accelerated by the Integrated Essence Refining Law. He has almost grown a centimeter taller each day, so he must often visit the embroidery workshop.
And so, through frequent visits, he and Wang Siyan became well acquainted.
It has led to her often coming over after dinner to deliver the clothes herself.
Initially, Chen Yun did not notice anything amiss.
But every time he went to pick up the clothes during the day, he was told they hadn't been altered yet.
And then she would bring them over again in the evening.
This is obviously an attempt to get closer to him.
Things like "your room is tidy" and "it's not often you find a man who likes to be clean" — Wang Siyan has said such things more than once.
Chen Yun felt that Wang Siyan had something else in mind.
He doesn't think his charm is that irresistible to captivate Wang Siyan, who everyone seems to secretly like.
It's no surprise that this woman is quite cunning. Seeing him advance so quickly in his cultivation, with a chance to be taken under the grandmaster's wing, she has therefore been acting so courteous.
Chen Yun doesn't mind these things at all. After all, having a beautiful woman approach him willingly is something that can be satisfying.
For instance, he believes that if he had invited her in with a sincere invitation, Wang Siyan would have stayed inside for a while.
But Chen Yun did not do so.
Firstly, he is afraid that being too intimate with a woman will drain his energy.
Secondly, after consuming the tiger whip soup and essence refining soup for so many days, he subconsciously feels that he might soon complete the process of converting internal qi into essence. Therefore, he wants to maintain his best condition to make a single attempt at breaking through and succeeding.
"Phew, over these days, as my cultivation progress has increased, my body has also undergone significant changes."
Chen Yun walked in.
Now, he stands about 1.72 meters tall, free from third-class disability.
His body has also become robust and muscular due to his cultivation of the Accumulating Essence and Refining Body technique.
Moreover, his stamina, vision, and hearing have all improved significantly.
He estimated that the strength of his arms was at least several hundred jin.
He dare not speak of anything else, but he was now able to just about lift the three or four hundred jin stone block at the entrance of the medicinal garden.
Of course, it was only with great effort.
In reality, it was quite a strain.
Even so, Chen Yun still judged that his current strength had reached the standard of a strongman.
She neatly folded the clothes.
Chen Yun was certain no one would come in to disturb him, so he took out the small bronze furnace.
He took out the essence refining soup from it.
"After finishing the last bit of tiger whip soup today, I feel a massive surge of qi throughout my body, an uncomfortable sensation of being overfull. I think it's because there's been an accumulation of too much essence within me, reaching a point just before breakthrough."
With that thought, he felt a surge of excitement.
After 14-15 days of cultivation and with the help of spiritual elixirs like tiger whip soup and essence refining soup, he was finally going to complete the process of converting internal qi into essence!
Chen Yun had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Recently, the master seems to be always around. If he can successfully complete the process of converting internal qi into essence, perhaps there will be a chance for him to be recognized by the master and learn the secrets of immortality.
Thoughts in mind, he mixed the hot and cold essence refining soup together and drank it all in one go.
Gulp.
The medicinal juice entered his mouth.
As usual, it was bitter and astringent.
Chen Yun had grown accustomed to it and showed no reaction at all.
"Now there's no need to cultivate. Just wait for the medicinal power to emerge."
He casually placed the small bowl aside and calmly awaited the emergence of the medicinal power.
A few seconds later, Chen Yun felt the movement in his stomach, as if it was digesting the medicinal juice.
A warm sensation rose from his stomach, spreading towards his spleen.
Chen Yun immediately straightened up, knowing that his spleen was about to generate the essence of the postnatal period.
Indeed, as that warm sensation reached the spleen, a large amount of postnatal essence rose from within it.
These postnatal essences followed the same path as Chen Yun's previous consumptions of essence refining soup. Some spread to his five internal organs, six viscera, and four limbs, while others entered the eight extraordinary meridians.
In the past, the postnatal essence that entered the eight extraordinary meridians would be stored inside, waiting to either actively or passively enhance his physical body during martial arts practice or when sleeping.
Just that he's been "supplementing" too much lately.
The eight extraordinary meridians had already been filled with postnatal essence.
Chen Yun wanted to see what would happen to the newly generated postnatal essence when it entered the eight extraordinary meridians now.
Soon, he knew the result.
These postnatal essences forcefully entered the eight extraordinary meridians, where they had already been filled with essence and qi. As a result, postnatal essence kept overflowing continuously.
The overflowing postnatal essence was then carried further inside by the medicinal power.
For a moment, the postnatal essence within the eight extraordinary meridians formed a circulation.
"Wow, circulation of essence and qi?"
Chen Yun was rather surprised upon sensing this.
He continued to quietly feel it.
Along with the birth of the essence refining soup's medicinal power, there was continuous rise of postnatal essence from the spleen.
The postnatal essence within the eight extraordinary meridians had already formed a small cycle. With the addition of new postnatal essence, the "circle" of the cycle became larger and larger.
Chen Yun could clearly sense that the cycle of postnatal essence began to spread from the eight extraordinary meridians to his internal organs, then gradually towards every inch of his body.
If the current situation continued, the essence and qi would soon fill his entire body, forming a large cycle.
However, after half an hour, Chen Yun noticed that the medicinal power of the essence refining soup was gradually weakening, and the large cycle was beginning to break.
"It looks like I need to take another two or three doses of essence refining soup to complete it."
Chen Yun nodded slightly as if in deep thought.
Although he wanted to complete the refining of grain essence as soon as possible, in cultivation, haste makes waste. If he were to force an increase in postnatal essence or struggle to maintain the large circulation of essence and qi, he might very well harm his body.
Chen Yun washed the small bowl clean.
He then did nothing else but went to bed early.
......
The next day, he was still a little short.
The third day, he was still a little short.
Finally, on the fourth night, after taking the essence refining soup, all the postnatal essence had been twisted into a stream, constantly circulating within his body.
In an instant, Chen Yun felt like he had endless energy.
Moreover, he looked into the water and found that his face was "radiant".
It was obvious that he had reached the realm of having essence and qi fill his entire body, as Wang Zixi had said!
At this moment, Chen Yun was incredibly excited, almost wanting to immediately inform Wang Zixi and see if there was an opportunity to learn the art of inner alchemy.
However, it was already late at night, and he wouldn't dare disturb Wang Zixi's rest.
He was excited for a moment, then calmed down and went to sleep.
......
A new day had arrived.
Unfortunately, the weather was not cooperative; it was raining gently outside.
Since it was raining outside, Chen Yun naturally couldn't go outside to practice martial arts, so he practiced indoors instead.
Three times!
Three taps!
Three rounds!
With each punch Chen Yun threw, he could hear the powerful "huff" sound of the air breaking.
As he practiced, Chen Yun mused to himself, "I suppose each of my punches generates a force of three or four hundred jin. If an ordinary person were hit with one of these, they might faint lightly or even die heavily."
Such punching power is almost comparable to that of a heavyweight boxing champion in another world. You see, the punching force of a heavyweight boxing champion like Foulman was only around 215 kilograms, which is about 360 pounds according to today's weights.
The strength is increasing rapidly!
Chen Yun knew that this increase in strength was not solely due to the refining of grain essence.
Normally, refining grain essence would make the body stronger and increase strength, but it wouldn't get as dramatic in such a short period of time.
For example, Li Si has completed most of the refining of grain essence, but his punch strength is at most two hundred jin.
Chen Yun's current explosive force may be more than twice that of Li Si!
He knew that the reason he could increase his strength so much in such a short period of time was due to the consumption of tiger whip and tiger meat, which contained qi and jing, as well as the Jing Refining and Body Cultivation Law by Zhao Gongming. It was only through this combination that he could achieve such a dramatic increase in strength.
"Key is, I'm not even close to reaching the early stage of 'Ji Jing Li Ti' (Accumulate Essence and Refine the Body), and I've already gained such great strength. If I were to cultivate it to perfection, I might even become a superhero."
Chen Yun felt that the 'Ji Jing Li Ti' (Accumulate Essence and Refine the Body) method was becoming increasingly refined.
If it weren't for his "buff" being bound to the art of inner alchemy, he would have wanted to specialize in this method.
It's best to stick to cultivating the art of inner alchemy.
"In addition, the postnatal essence within my body has formed a large cycle, giving me a sense of inexhaustible energy, as if I have endless strength."
Chen Yun, of course, understood that this was an illusion.
After all, once the postnatal essence is depleted, one will still feel tired.
Although this is an illusion, he knows that his physical endurance is probably several times that of a normal person.
This long-lasting stamina is entirely due to the formation of a large cycle of postnatal essence within his body.
The methods of the immortals are indeed mysterious.
Chen Yun's heart secretly sighed in admiration.
Suddenly.
Dong, dong-dong.
The door of the room was knocked on.
Chen Yun quickly stopped practicing martial arts and shouted out: "Coming."
He ran to open the door and found Wang Zixi standing outside.
"Although it's raining today, we can't neglect practicing martial arts..." Wang Zixi, holding an umbrella, seemed to be warning everyone not to sleep in, but as he was speaking, suddenly his eyes widened as he looked at Chen Yun, "You... did you finish refining grain essence?"
Chen Yun blinked, "It seems I did complete it."
Wang Zixi stared at him for a while without saying a word, finally just gently nodding and saying, "Not bad, you're a teachable young man."
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Chen Yun stared at Wang Zixi's back, feeling quite disappointed.
Previously, when Wang Zixi learned that he had completed the foundation-building process, he hurried over to teach him the refining of grain essence method.
However, this time when Wang Zixi learned that Chen Yun had completed the refining of grain essence, he left without any indication.
This made Chen Yun realize that it would be quite difficult for him to learn the secret method of refining essence and condensing qi.
After all, this required Zhongli Quan's approval.
Even Wang Zixi cannot make the decision.
Even Wang Laozhi and Zheng Wenshu, the two, cannot make the decision.
However, Zhongli Quan has never come out of the inner courtyard, and he can't see his progress no matter how fast he cultivates.
Chen Yun felt quite helpless, but there was no good way.
He really doesn't know how long it will take to learn the method of refining essence and condensing qi.
Ah, well, let's just wait slowly.
After all, there is still the Jing Refining and Body Cultivation Law taught by Zhao Gongming that can be practiced.
