Martial Saint through Reading

”Purifying?”

He opened his eyes, raising his hands in amazement, the skin on the back of his hands felt as fresh as a baby’s.

So, the black substance in the Sea of Consciousness is body impurities?

His mind stirred, and white light radiated around him, with a hint of green light within.

”Little Ling, give me a drop of Azure Ancient Spirit Dew.”

The green light was exactly the Clan Tree Spirit of the Wind Spirit Race.

The Tree Spirit, hearing Chu Ming’s voice, fluttered a few times as if disturbed from sleep, begrudgingly coalesced a drop of Azure Ancient Spirit Dew.

Swallowing the Azure Ancient Spirit Dew into his belly, Chu Ming closed his eyes again.

In the Sea of Consciousness.

The four great lakes continued to boil, beneath the painted sky, black clouds spread out, the entire Sea of Consciousness sank into a black abyss.

But as the Azure Ancient Spirit Dew dissolved in his belly and spread throughout his body.

The painted sky in the Sea of Consciousness suddenly went still, then transparent rain fell across the sky.

The rain passed through the black clouds.

Black clouds turned to dark clouds, dark clouds returned to white clouds.

Below, the rain acted like a cooling ice agent, gradually calming the boiling scene of the four lakes until it became completely still...

In the Cultivation Technique Lake, the lake water surged toward the center, the eighth vortex spun rapidly, as if to suck all the lake water dry.

White clouds evaporated, leaving the Sea of Consciousness clear, like after rain with a clear sky.

Buzz!

In a certain moment, the eighth vortex succeeded.

It was also at this moment, the fourth and fifth meridians of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were continuously unblocked.

Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm, Fifth Meridian!

Chu Ming opened his eyes joyfully, his body feeling a sudden refreshing surge.

This surge wasn’t just from unblocking two meridians in succession, nor from deducing a complete Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm technique, but because...

”Purifying and rebirth!”

Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm Perfection, the Twelve Major Meridians and Eight Extraordinary Meridians unblocked, Qi and Blood Power could reach any part of the body in a single thought.

The next step was the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm, also known as the Rebirth Realm.

Unlike the previous Strong Bone, Refining the Internal Organs, and Meridian Unlocking Realms, which polished with Qi Blood, the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm essentially reshapes the body using Qi Blood Power.

This realm involves cleansing the entire body with Qi Blood Power, skin, flesh and blood, bones, internal organs, channels...

Hence, the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm is also known as the Rebirth Realm.

What Chu Ming didn’t expect was that during his deduction of the final meridian of the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm, he unexpectedly touched upon the Bone Marrow Cleansing.

The black substance refined in the Sea of Consciousness was actually impurities in the body, the transformation of the skin to a jade-like appearance was indeed an expression of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm.

”A fifth meridian in the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm, yet you’ve already begun preliminary purifying?”

Chu Ming lightly stroked the skin on the back of his hand, the touch smooth, indeed like a baby’s skin.

Then, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Whoosh!

The sound of something breaking through the air echoed, and a golden light slashed at the back of his hand.

Bang!

A muffled sound, a faint blood mark remained on the back of his hand.

A strike from the Primordial Golden Sword, enough to penetrate the body of a strong practitioner of the Lower Realm Three Meridians and Four Meridians, now could only leave a blood mark.

The skin, seemingly like a baby’s, had astonishing defensive power.

Just with his physical body, he could have near the late stage defensive power of the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm?

Articulated fingers pinched the golden sword, a smile appeared on his face.

He stood up, stretched his muscles and bones, familiarizing himself with his bodily changes.

After a moment, Chu Ming sat cross-legged again.

His strength had increased, but it was still far from enough.

In his Sea of Consciousness, new water vapor was solidifying above the Book collection Lake.

The water vapor sometimes dispersed, sometimes gathered, as more vapor rose from below continuously.

Eventually, even though the vapor congealed into form, it became invisible to the naked eye.

[Mountain and Sea Guardian Yang Concealing Breath (Minor Success)]

[Progress: 13/100]

Using the Concealing Breath Technique ”Defensive Yang Soaring” obtained from the Silver Moon Thief in Lindu County as a foundation, it deduced a more advanced Concealing Breath Technique.

Although he had the Glazed Jade Token given by his master to conceal his aura, since arriving in Qin Capital, Chu Ming felt the token was gradually unable to hide his aura.

Especially after meeting the self-proclaimed ’Ji Wujiang,’ he became even more certain that the concealing effect of the Glazed Jade Token was failing.

A Concealing Breath technique combined with the Glazed Jade Token would undoubtedly improve the concealing effect.

He made several attempts, continued optimization, and only stopped deducing techniques when dawn was near, then flipped his hand to take out more than ten jade stones.

The dozen or so ordinary jade stones were nothing special aside from being traded for some gold and silver.

Arranging the jade stones on the table, he stretched out his right hand, with white Primordial Qi swirling around his fingers.

Pointing lightly at the jade stones, the Primordial Qi flowed into them like a gentle stream.

The first block, the second block, the third block...

In the span of a tea break, all the jade stones transformed from ordinary items into Primordial Qi Objects.

His sleeves swept the table, collecting the jade stones into the Gold Plate.

Then he took out sweet oranges and mandarins, replicating the method to transform them into Primordial Qi Objects as well, storing them into the World in the Palm.

Such Primordial Qi Objects numbered five to six hundred in his Gold Plate, all accumulated over time in his spare moments.

Having completed transforming Primordial Qi Objects, red clouds had already pierced through the fog outside.

Without pause, Chu Ming resumed his cross-legged position, immersed in cultivation.

In the Sea of Consciousness, the white Primordial Qi generated above the Cultivation Technique Lake was drawn into the Primordial Qi Mansion by Primordial Consciousness.

Now in his Primordial Qi Mansion, the previous content had been replaced by a pool of white Primordial Qi Liquid.

Primordial Qi Introduction, Primordial Qi Unity, Primordial Qi Liquid, Primordial Qi Lake.

The Primordial Qi Liquid forming into a lake marked the Primordial Qi Lake; his Primordial Qi Mansion’s pool had indeed become a lake.

[Mountain and Sea Divine Qi·Primordial Qi Lake (Late Stage)]

[Progress: 77/100]

The method for cultivating Primordial Qi is far more elusive than the Qi Blood Body Refining Method.

Relying on the concentration of pure white Primordial Qi from the Book collection Lake in his Sea of Consciousness, Chu Ming cultivated unobstructed to the 4th Layer of the Primordial Qi Warrior’s Primordial Qi Lake Realm.

But beyond the Primordial Qi Lake Realm, he presently had no clues at all.
