After about the time it took for an incense to burn, the aura that Lu Xuan exuded became stronger and stronger. This was because he was unable to suppress it when he was breaking through. Very quickly, after the aura reached a limit, Lu Xuan felt a comfortable feeling, as if his limbs and acupoints were all opened up. Without any suspense, he had already broken through to the seventh layer of the Spirit Refinement realm. There was still a lot of Yuan Qi left in his body, but it was not enough to help him break through to the eighth layer.
After all, Lu Xuan had broken through a lot of acupoints, far surpassing ordinary people. If an ordinary martial artist consumed this Nine-yang Guiyuan Pill, it was possible for them to break through from the sixth layer to the ninth layer in one go. The ancient almighty said that it was enough for a martial artist to break through one to three small realms, and it was indeed not a lie.
The seventh layer of the Spirit Refinement realm was the threshold of the late stage of the Spirit Refinement realm. Not only was the Yuan Qi in the body more abundant, there were also signs of it solidifying. The same martial skill, when used with the strength of the seventh layer of the Spirit Refinement realm, was not something that the sixth layer of the Spirit Refinement realm could compare to.
"If I use One with Heaven now, I might have a chance to fight Lin Zeyu head-on." Lu Xuan thought to himself. Previously, even if he used his strongest move, he was still not Lin Zeyu's opponent. However, as his strength increased to the seventh layer of the Spirit Refinement realm, the power of One with Heaven would undoubtedly increase again. Moreover, he would be able to use One with Heaven many times in a row.
Now, even if Lin Zeyu did not die, Lu Xuan would still have the strength to fight. This discovery undoubtedly increased Lu Xuan's confidence. Strength was the source of all confidence.
Because the Yuan Qi contained in the Nine-yang Guiyuan Pill was extremely pure, after Lu Xuan broke through to the seventh layer of the Spirit Refinement realm, he immediately stabilized his realm without any side effects. Now, perhaps, he could consider using the Nine-yang Guiyuan Pill.
The five-colored Nine-yang Guiyuan Pill was taken out by Lu Xuan, and then he took the initiative to destroy a trace of the metal attribute essence in the pill. This change instantly caused the balance in the pill to be destroyed, and the five elements essence began to change rapidly. The five-colored light constantly changed, and the other four essences quickly disappeared, while the metal attribute essence began to rapidly increase. In the blink of an eye, the five-colored Nine-yang Guiyuan Pill had already become a golden pill. Perhaps it was more appropriate to call it the essence of the metal attribute.
Yes, what Lu Xuan chose to condense was the Geng Gold Divine Rune. Although the Geng Gold Divine Rune and the Bing Fire Divine Rune were both offensive Divine Runes, the Geng Gold Divine Rune was sharper, while the Bing Fire Divine Rune was more explosive. If he had to choose between the two, Lu Xuan still chose the sharper Geng Gold Divine Rune.
Even if he only held it in his hand, Lu Xuan could clearly feel the sharp aura coming from the pure golden pill in his hand. He wondered if this sharp aura would directly cut his throat when he swallowed it.
Everything was ready. Now, Lu Xuan was about to face another painful experience, that was to break through the aperture related to the Geng Gold Divine Rune. The lungs belonged to the metal attribute, so the opening of the aperture naturally started from the lungs.
Before learning alchemy, Lu Xuan could still only use the most primitive method to make use of the medicinal properties of various elixirs. After taking a Heaven and Earth treasure, the Yi Wood Divine Rune and the Jiu Water Divine Rune were activated on their own, and Lu Xuan began a new round of opening the aperture.
Perhaps it was because he had consumed the Dragon Glass Origin Fruit, which greatly enhanced his physical fitness, but he felt that the pain he could endure when bursting his acupoints this time was much greater than before. At the very least, he did not feel as excruciating as before. This reduced his fear of bursting his acupoints by quite a bit, and the speed of bursting his acupoints became faster.
He didn't know whether it was two hours, four hours, or six hours. When Lu Xuan found that he had broken all the acupoints related to the lungs, he woke up. To be honest, compared to this kind of pain, being bitten by Little Tanuki was really nothing. Lu Xuan even felt that the opening of the aperture was also a kind of training for the ability to resist attacks. If he could endure this kind of pain, it was really too easy to take a few hits.
After the opening of the aperture, it was time to condense the Divine Runes. Taking a deep breath, Lu Xuan directly put the Five Elements Unite Mysterious Pill into his mouth, and then swallowed hard. The sharp aura made his throat feel a burst of pain, and even after swallowing the pill, the pain was still there. This was definitely the most disgusting pill he had ever taken in his life, but only by doing this could he absorb all the metal attribute essence contained in the pill to the greatest extent. After almost failing due to the lack of essence last time, Lu Xuan had become more and more cautious. He didn't dare to waste even the slightest bit, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake in the next step of condensing the Divine Runes.
As Lu Xuan circulated his cultivation method, traces of essence began to emit from the pill, and then it was guided to his lungs by Lu Xuan. Because the pill had been steadily providing essence, this time Lu Xuan didn't need to wait for too long and could directly start condensing the Divine Runes.
All of Lu Xuan's attention was focused on condensing the Divine Runes. In order to prevent any disturbances, he even used a formation to isolate Little Tanuki in advance, so that he wouldn't fall short of success because of the little fellow's sudden awakening. His desire for strength had reached a point that made people's hair stand on end.
If reaching the seventh tier of the Spirit Refinement Realm gave Lu Xuan the confidence to fight Lin Zeyu head-on, then he would be able to fight Lin Zeyu head-on if he could condense a Two-star Geng Gold Divine Rune.
In a head-on confrontation, he could only withstand Lin Zeyu's attack, but in a head-on battle, it meant that there was a possibility for Lu Xuan to win.
The One Star Geng Metal Divine Rune wasn't considered complicated. As the runes fell, Lu Xuan almost effortlessly condensed it. A golden luster flickered in his body, resonating with the other three Divine Runes in his body. The green wood luster was the most dazzling, while the gold, yellow and blue luster were slightly inferior.
The Five Elements Return to One Profound Pill continued to provide enough metal-attribute essence. Lu Xuan didn't stop, and once again began to condense the Two Star Geng Metal Divine Rune. This time, Lu Xuan was clearly more composed than when he was inscribing the Yi Wood Divine Rune. Everything was difficult at the beginning, and he already had the experience of condensing a Two Star Geng Metal Divine Rune before.
The power of the essence constantly changed, transforming into mysterious runes, accurately covering the One Star Geng Metal Divine Rune. Lu Xuan's mind was calm, there was only the Divine Rune in his perception. He didn't think about what would happen if he failed, he only knew that he would do his best to complete this task. If he really failed, it would only prove that he hadn't reached the time to condense the Two Star Geng Metal Divine Rune, and he couldn't blame the heavens or others.
Life was the same. Since you had decided to do something, the only thing you could do was to do it well. Being overcautious and indecisive would only increase your chances of failure. There was nothing else that could help you in this.
Previously, when Lu Xuan condensed the Yi Wood Divine Rune, he failed the first time because he was worried that if he failed, he wouldn't be able to pass the next test. But this time around, Lu Xuan didn't have any psychological burden. And it was precisely because of Lu Xuan's calm attitude that the condensation of the Divine Rune this time around was somewhat unexpected.
When the entire Seven Star Geng Metal Divine Rune blossomed with dazzling brilliance, the metal-attributed essence contained in the Five Elements Return to One Profound Core had just been completely consumed, not a trace more, not a trace less. If Lu Xuan made the slightest mistake during the condensation process, even if it was just wasting the essence of a single rune, it would lead to failure.
This was the arrangement of the ancient almighty. Everything he gave was an opportunity. If Lu Xuan couldn't grasp it, then it was reasonable for him to fail. It could only mean that Lu Xuan's opportunity wasn't there yet. Fortunately, Lu Xuan finally succeeded. The Two Star Geng Metal Divine Rune, the Two Star Yi Wood Divine Rune, and the two One Star Ninth Water Divine Runes and Fifth Earth Divine Runes represented that Lu Xuan had completely become a physique cultivator who could fight and defend.
Lu Xuan believed that with just the strength of his body, he would be able to leave a mark on the iron puppet. He might even have the strength to destroy it. It could be said that Lu Xuan's Dao of Physique Refinement had finally reached the highest level. It wasn't like before, where it wasn't of much use in battle and could only be used for recovery.
In less than a day, the power of his bloodline had been greatly enhanced. His cultivation had risen to the Seventh Stage of Spirit Refinement, and he had successfully condensed the Two Star Geng Metal Divine Rune. Lu Xuan could be said to have benefited greatly.
Now, it was time for him to think about what he should do next. He didn't know how much time had passed, and he didn't know if he could stay in the cavern of the ancient almighty. In short, he might have to enter the Ancient Forest again to find the other cultivators and see what they would decide.
Of course, what really made Lu Xuan decide was that with his current strength, unless he was targeted by the Jiuhua Alliance, his life wouldn't be in danger. After what had happened before, Lu Xuan treasured his own life. He didn't want to leave behind a bunch of women and die like this.
After removing the formation that trapped Little Tanuki, Lu Xuan discovered that the little guy had woken up again. It was now rolling around on the ground, as if angry that he hadn't fed it in time.
Lu Xuan now realized that the little guy was so difficult to please. If it wanted to eat, it wanted to eat. If it wanted to sleep, it wanted to sleep. He couldn't help but secretly think that if he had children in the future, he must let the children's mother take care of them.
As Lu Xuan patiently fed Little Tanuki, he suddenly heard a sound.
The sound came from outside the cavern. Lu Xuan put Little Tanuki on his chest and began to listen attentively. This was the end of the Ancient Forest. Who would come here? He couldn't help but wonder if Lin Zeyu had crawled out of the cavern. But with his current strength, he wasn't afraid.
At that moment, a clear voice came into Lu Xuan's ears …
