As soon as the Yuyao Pill entered his stomach, a burst of spiritual energy immediately spread to Long Yu's limbs and bones.
"Absorb!"
Long Yu's heart beat, gradually transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in the Yuyao Pill into profound energy, storing it in the meridians of his body.
Originally, the strength he possessed was four thousand jin of the third stage of the Martial Dao. However, now, under the effect of the Yuyao Pill, his strength began to slowly increase.
Four thousand one hundred jin, four thousand two hundred jin …
Unknowingly, the Azure Dragon Mark on Long Yu's chest began to heat up, storing the medicinal power that he could not absorb.
Seeing this, Long Yu's heart calmed down and began to speed up the absorption of the medicinal power. Not long after, thirty percent of the Yuyao Pill's spiritual energy was transformed into profound energy in his body, flowing through the meridians of his body.
The profound energy in his meridians grew rapidly. However, because he had not broken through to the next realm, his strength could not exceed five thousand jin. Only after breaking through to the fourth stage of the Martial Dao could his strength instantly increase to the standard of eight thousand jin.
He opened his eyes and found that it was already late outside the house. He stopped cultivating for a while. Since the remaining medicinal power was stored in the Azure Dragon Mark, he had to go out and see if his things had arrived.
Feng Changge had told him that in a sect like the Zhentian Clan, if he wanted to enter the Martial Skill Pavilion to choose a martial skill, he needed a disciple identity token as proof.
As for the outer disciple robes, Long Yu did not care much about them. However, the disciple identity token was a very important thing.
When he opened the door, he saw something on the ground at the entrance of the courtyard. It was obvious that someone had sent it over while he was cultivating.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a set of blue robes. It must be the outer disciple robes. However, this set of blue robes was casually thrown on the ground. It was full of mud and footprints. It was obvious that it had been trampled on countless times.
Beside the dirty blue robes was a plate of leftovers. Could this be the dinner for Long Yu?
"Where's the identity token?"
Long Yu thought to himself as he flipped open the dirty blue shirt. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not find the identity token of the Zhentian Clan outer disciple.
Obviously, the courier had sent over the outer court disciple attire and leftovers, yet only his identity command token was withheld. Obviously, he was making things difficult for Long Yu!
"Very good, a few more debts have been added to this account."
A cold glint flashed in Long Yu's eyes as he cast his gaze towards a place not far away from the courtyard.
There was a forest there. Tonight's dinner should be settled. As for the rest, it wouldn't be too late to think about it when he stepped into the fourth stage of the Martial Path.
…
As night fell, Long Yu finished eating the roasted rabbit he caught in the forest and continued to cultivate.
In the Azure Dragon Mark, the medicinal power of the Yuyao Pill stored began to take effect, turning into profound Qi that continued to be absorbed by Long Yu, and the strength of his whole body continued to increase.
"The effect of the Azure Dragon Mark is really heaven-defying."
Long Yu thought to himself. In the middle of the night, his meridians were overflowing with profound Qi, and his strength had reached the limit of the third stage of the Martial Path, five thousand pounds. Next, he was just short of breaking through to the next realm!
In the Heavenly Mandate Continent, anyone who wanted to step into the fourth stage of the Martial Path would have a bottleneck, and that was to condense Qi inner strength. For example, the Feng Luo that Long Yu had taught a lesson to at the Feng family could not break through to the fourth stage of the Martial Path because he could not condense Qi inner strength.
However, this did not seem to be a problem for Long Yu.
"Break through!"
The veins on Long Yu's forehead bulged, and the profound Qi in his whole body surged and was quickly absorbed by his meridians. Then, it seeped into every part of his body. It was as if he had been reborn, and the strength of his whole body instantly increased by three thousand pounds!
Eight thousand pounds!
The fourth stage of the Martial Path!
Long Yu only relied on his own talent to be on par with a genius like Feng Yao. Feng Yao could step into the seventh stage of the Martial Path at the age of sixteen. If Long Yu's meridians were not blocked, he would naturally be able to do the same.
The bottleneck of the fourth stage of the Martial Path was almost non-existent in front of Long Yu.
Long Yu opened his eyes and stood up. He had finally reached the fourth stage of the Martial Path, and he could hold the strength of eight thousand pounds. This feeling of becoming stronger made him feel excited from the bottom of his heart.
In this world, only by mastering power could one stand. And now, Long Yu was gradually walking the path of the strong, step by step.
"When the sun rises tomorrow, I will go and ask for the identity token."
Long Yu thought to himself. At this moment, he suddenly felt a dry heat in his chest, as if something was happening to the Azure Dragon Mark.
"That's right, when I broke through to the second and third stage of the Martial Path, the Azure Dragon Mark seemed to have changed a little. At that time, I couldn't tell what had changed. Now that I've broken through to the fourth stage of the Martial Path, the feeling is even stronger …"
Thinking of this, he hurriedly tore open the front of his chest, but the scene he saw stunned him.
"This is?"
On his chest, where the mark of the Azure Dragon used to be, the coiling Azure Dragon had changed drastically!
Previously, the Azure Dragon Mark was a little blurry and did not match his body. But now, the Azure Dragon had become incomparably clear, as if it was innate to him.
Furthermore, the color of the Azure Dragon had also changed. Its originally azure body had now become somewhat serene. There were traces of black lines on it, mysterious and profound.
The heat that Long Yu felt just now came from these black veined patterns, which made him feel surprised.
"Nine Nether, Nine Nether Dragon …"
A term inexplicably flashed through Long Yu's mind, making him suddenly understand that the mark on his chest was not an Azure Dragon, but a dragon from the Nine Nether Realms!
In this way, the Azure Dragon Mark might not be called the Azure Dragon Mark, but the Nine Nether Dragon Mark.
"Activate!"
Long Yu didn't think too much about it and hurriedly activated the Nine Nether Dragon Mark. He discovered that the traces of black lines suddenly glowed with a black light! At the same time, an extremely terrifying force poured into his body from the black lines.
"This, it's actually the strength of ten thousand jin?"
Long Yu was instantly shocked.
After he activated the Nine Nether Dragon Mark, just the power that came from the black lines had reached a terrifying level of ten thousand jin. It was even stronger than his own eight thousand jin strength!
In other words, if the current Long Yu activated the Nine Nether Dragon Mark, he would have a total of eighteen thousand jin of strength. It was even stronger than the sixteen thousand jin of strength possessed by the fifth level of the Martial Dao!
In the Heavenly Mandate Continent, a thousand jin of strength was known as the "strength of a fierce horse" because the most ordinary fierce horse in the Heavenly Mandate Continent had about a thousand jin of strength when running at full speed.
Therefore, after Long Yu activated the mark, it could be said that he had the strength of eighteen fierce horses. He was on a completely different level from an ordinary fourth level Martial Dao cultivator.
In the Heavenly Mandate Continent, there were nine levels of martial arts. With every increase in cultivation, the strength one possessed would double. Therefore, in the Heavenly Mandate Continent, there were very few people who could challenge above their level.
However, this did not seem to be a big problem for the current Long Yu.
After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Long Yu felt his limbs begin to ache. Although activating the Nine Nether Dragon Mark gave him great strength, the side effects were not small.
"In the end, my body is not strong enough. With a cultivation of the fourth level of the Martial Dao, it will definitely be very difficult to contain the power of the fifth level of the Martial Dao. It will even cause damage to my body over time …"
Long Yu immediately stopped activating the Nine Nether Dragon Mark and lay down on the grass bed to rest.
Right now, his limbs were sore. The side effects of activating the Nine Nether Dragon Mark were great, but he should be able to recover after a night of rest.
…
Early the next morning, Long Yu went out to gather information.
With his rich experience, it did not take long for him to understand some of the situation from the other Zhentian Clan outer court disciples.
The Zhentian Clan outer court disciple robes and identity tokens were all managed by the outer court disciples. As for the outer court managing disciples, they were chosen from the outer court disciples and would be replaced once a month.
This month's outer court disciple was called Feng Yang!
"Feng Yang, he's actually from the Feng Clan of Jade Gate City. It seems that he is also part of the reason why my outer court disciple identity token was withheld."
A cold light flashed in Long Yu's eyes. Unknowingly, he had already arrived at the residence that was previously arranged for Tan Yue.
This residence had elegant pavilions, gardens and rockery. No matter how you looked at it, it was a thousand times better than the courtyard that was arranged for Long Yu.
The sound of footsteps came from the front. Long Yu raised his head and saw Tan Yue wearing a red dress. She proudly puffed out her chest and walked towards her residence like a princess.
Behind her was the square-faced, upright and plainspoken Han Jian.
Han Jian glanced at Long Yu and said loudly to Tan Yue, "Junior Sister Tan Yue, it seems that our luck is pretty good. We've just returned from the Martial Skill Pavilion and we've already met an 'old friend'!"
Long Yu's identity token had not yet been issued, but Tan Yue's token had already been in her hands. It seemed that Han Jian had brought Tan Yue to the Zhentian Clan's Martial Skill Pavilion and it seemed that she had gained quite a lot!
Tan Yue stopped in her tracks and looked at Long Yu with contempt, "I've asked around. This trash is called Long Yu and he lives in the Feng Clan of Jade Gate City. He's been a trash that can't cultivate since he was young. I didn't expect the Zhentian Clan to accept such a trash as a disciple."
Tan Yue and Han Jian's words were blunt and immediately attracted the gazes of the surrounding outer court disciples.
Originally, Tan Yue had already attracted the attention of many people because of her beauty and arrogant temperament. But now, seeing that Tan Yue was actually targeting an inconspicuous new disciple, everyone stopped what they were doing and stopped to watch. At the same time, they also pointed at Long Yu.
"Who is this guy? A trash from Jade Gate City can actually enter our Zhentian Clan?"
"I don't know who he is, but since he has offended Junior Sister Tan Yue, this trash will not have a good ending. Let's just wait and watch the show."
"Do you dare to guess what Junior Sister Tan Yue will do to this kid?"
"What else can she do? Of course she will shatter his Dantian and turn him into a real trash! "
The surrounding crowd roared with laughter and looked at Long Yu as if they were watching a joke!
But they did not know that Long Yu was looking at Tan Yue and Han Jian indifferently as if he was watching a joke!
