"It's not poison. Luo Xuanqing's complexion is recovering!"
Before Zhang Xuan could explain the situation, Bi Hongyin had already spoken up.
As a woman, she was able to tell that something was amiss with a single glance.
Even though Luo Xuanqing still appeared to be in a very weak state, unable to exert any strength at all, his complexion had become much rosier. It was no longer as pale as before.
Yuan Xiao scratched his head awkwardly.
Previously, when Luo Xuanqing failed to kill the Crimsontail Wasp King and even threatened to poison Zhang Chun to death, Yuan Xiao had been prejudiced against Luo Xuanqing.
Gudong! Gudong!
It didn't take long for Luo Xuanqing to finish the entire jar of wine. Due to the lack of zhenqi to suppress it, Luo Xuanqing felt a little tipsy. However, his complexion and condition were much better than before.
If he had seemed like a patient on the verge of death a moment ago, he had already escaped from the gates of hell. As long as he recuperated, he would be able to live to a ripe old age.
"Do you still have more wine?"
Luo Xuanqing asked with a blurry look in his eyes.
"Here!"
Zhang Xuan took out another jar and passed it over.
"Thank you."
Luo Xuanqing took the jar and continued to gulp down the wine.
After activating his bloodline, he had suffered a huge blow to his vitality, such that he would need at least a month of recuperation before he could utilize his strength. Yet, after drinking a jar of wine, the feeling of weakness that he had felt in the depths of his heart gradually disappeared.
He could hardly believe what he was seeing.
How could one resolve the problem of weakness after activating one's bloodline? This had been a problem that the Sage Clans had been researching for several dozen millenniums, but no one had been able to come up with a solution.
Was it really possible to resolve the problem with just a jar of wine?
But as more and more wine flowed into his body, his stamina began to recover as well.
By the time he finished the second jar of wine, the feeling of weakness had already vanished completely.
"Zhang Shi …"
Astonished, Yuan Xiao raised his head to look at the young man before him, curious to know how he was able to do it.
"Close your eyes and don't resist …"
Zhang Xuan waved his hand to interrupt Yuan Xiao's words. With a flick of his finger, countless silver needles pierced into Luo Xuanqing's body.
Tzzzzz!
As soon as the silver needles pierced into his body, Luo Xuanqing immediately felt a unique energy flowing through his body. The blockage caused by activating his bloodline gradually cleared up.
After activating one's bloodline, one's body would cool down, and the energy that had flowed into one's meridians would gradually solidify before being blocked once more, making it difficult to circulate.
Therefore, the thing blocking the meridians was not impurities, but true qi. It was just that it could not be dissolved!
At this moment, the energy from the silver needles had cleared the blockage. Like ice falling into boiling water, the frozen zhenqi recovered. In an instant, Luo Xuanqing felt his body brimming with energy once more. A violent surge of energy burst forth from his body, spreading into the surroundings.
"This …"
Yuan Xiao and the others looked at one another with their mouths agape.
Drinking two jars of wine to recover one's stamina... It could be said that there were quite a few unique medicinal herbs added into the wine, making it a unique spirit herb... To be able to replenish one's zhenqi with just a few needles, wasn't it a little too exaggerated?
After recovering his zhenqi, Luo Xuanqing was no longer as dispirited as before. With a flick of his wrist, he took out a pill and swallowed it.
Creak! Creak!
As soon as the medicine entered his stomach, the energy in his body grew stronger and stronger. In less than an hour, it had accumulated to its peak and returned to its peak.
"You really solved the problem of activating the bloodline …"
Rising to his feet, Luo Xuanqing could feel his body brimming with zhenqi as he stared at the young man before him in disbelief.
Ever since he was young, his clansmen had always been on high alert, warning him not to awaken his bloodline carelessly, or else his zhenqi would be severely damaged. Who would have thought that the fellow whom the formation master was acquainted with would actually be able to solve the problem so easily?
"This is a unique secret art of mine, and it comes at a huge toll on one's body as well.
With a pale face, Zhang Xuan waved his hand dismissively.
Luo Xuanqing's cultivation was simply too high, and his zhenqi was simply too concentrated. He had nearly depleted all of his zhenqi in order to resolve the problem.
It seemed like it would be best for him not to get involved in such matters in the future. Otherwise, he might just end up dying on the spot.
"Un."
Seeing the state that Luo Xuanqing was in, the crowd could tell that he had expended a great deal of energy, so they nodded in agreement.
"Brother Luo, since you have recovered your strength, you should push for a breakthrough to Saint 8-dan!"
Zhang Xuan said after recuperating for a moment.
"Alright." Luo Xuanqing nodded doubtfully. "Then … what should I do?"
While he had recovered his strength, it was still impossible for him to push for a breakthrough to Dimension Sundering realm. Otherwise, he would not have gone through so much trouble to come all the way here to look for the Dongxu Gourd.
"You should assimilate this."
With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out a vine and passed it to Luo Xuanqing.
While this vine was not as powerful as the Dongxu Gourd, it harnessed the power of Dimension Sundering. The layers of space around it were reminiscent of a beehive. Assimilating this vine should be extremely beneficial to Luo Xuanqing's breakthrough.
It was due to this that Zhang Xuan dared to help Luo Xuanqing achieve a breakthrough.
"Alright."
Luo Xuanqing nodded as he infused his zhenqi into the vine to assimilate it.
This was only a small segment of the vine, so it was not too difficult for him to assimilate it. In less than six hours, he had already assimilated it into his body.
"Store it in my dantian!"
Seeing that Luo Xuanqing's movements were so slow, Zhang Xuan instructed.
During this period of time, he had already recovered all of his zhenqi, so he tapped his finger on the vine.
Tzla!
The vine immediately dived into Luo Xuanqing's dantian.
"This …"
Luo Xuanqing narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
In his eyes, the vine was nothing more than an ordinary artifact. Even if he had assimilated it, he would not have noticed anything amiss about it. However, after he assimilated it into his dantian, he realized that it harnessed countless spaces!
It could be said that the effect of assimilating the vine into his dantian was on par with that of the Dongxu Gourd!
"Time to make a breakthrough!"
Knowing what was going through Luo Xuanqing's mind, Zhang Xuan chose not to explain.
He had used the Eye of Insight when he was examining the vine, allowing him to peer into its depths. Others did not possess such an ability, so naturally, they were unable to notice it.
"Alright!"
Knowing that his zhenqi had reached its peak and the vine was the best opportunity for him to make a breakthrough, Luo Xuanqing sat down cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, and entered into a state of cultivation.
Some time later …
With a deafening buzz, a powerful aura burst forth from Zhang Xuan's body. His strength rose steadily, and in the blink of an eye, he had already surpassed the bottleneck of Saint 7-dan Phantasmal Space realm.
However, as soon as he reached Half-Dimension Sundering realm, he suddenly came to a halt.
"What's wrong? Are you unable to reach Saint 8-dan? "
Zhang Xuan was perplexed by Zhang Xuan's sudden halt.
Under normal circumstances, he should have been able to make a breakthrough to Dimension Sundering realm, so why did he suddenly stop at Half-Dimension Sundering realm? Why did he stop at Half-Dimension Sundering realm?
"As long as you are willing to, you can push for a breakthrough. However, at Saint 8-dan Dimension Sundering realm, your Dominion will form a world of its own, which means that you will be able to fight against the outside world. Even if you succeed, your fighting prowess will be significantly weakened!"
Luo Xuanqing said.
"I see!" Zhang Xuan widened his eyes in realization.
He had relied on his comprehension of space to help Luo Xuanqing achieve a breakthrough, but in truth, he did not know anything about Dimension Sundering realm at all.
It was only after hearing Luo Xuanqing's words that he came to a realization.
The Dimension Sundering realm was the creation of a world of its own. Naturally, it was impossible for one to strengthen the world through folding space.
In the outside world, space was much more stable, and one's strength and potential would be enhanced if one were to undergo a metamorphosis there.
This was similar to giving birth to a child. Even though it would be less painful for the child to undergo a Caesarean section, the child's heart and lungs would be weakened significantly.
"More importantly, one will face a lightning tribulation when attempting a breakthrough to Saint 8-dan. If one were to face the lightning tribulation in the Sanctum of Sages, it would weaken the inner demons, thus making it easier for one to succeed!"
Luo Xuanqing said.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
The Sanctum of Sages harnessed the aura left behind by Kong Shi and the previous generations of master teachers. It was a place where inner demons would not dare to wreak havoc during one's lightning tribulation, thus making it much easier for one to push for a breakthrough.
After all, not everyone was like him, who could casually bow down to an inner demon and acknowledge him as his teacher.
"He really succeeded!"
"How did he do it?"
Seeing how Luo Xuanqing, who had barely awakened his bloodline and was barely able to stand, had successfully achieved a breakthrough to Half-Dimension Sundering realm under Zhang Shi's help, Yuan Xiao, Bi Hongyin, and the others' faces flushed in agitation.
They had not reached Phantasmal Space realm pinnacle yet, but as long as they cultivated diligently, they should be able to reach Half-Dimension Sundering realm within a few years!
Given how formidable Zhang Shi was, if they succeeded, their fighting prowess would surely soar, and they would be able to wield great authority in their respective clans!
"Brother Luo, how much has your fighting prowess increased after reaching Half-Dimension Sundering realm?"
Yun Lianhai asked.
They were worried that Luo Xuanqing had not managed to reinforce his cultivation properly.
"How much has my fighting prowess increased?"
Knowing that everyone was worried, Luo Xuanqing chuckled heartily as he raised his hand and grabbed forward.
Kacha!
In an instant, a rift appeared in the space before him, and a huge chunk of space was torn apart.
The crowd was astonished.
While it was true that Luo Xuanqing's comprehension of space had far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators, the might of his attack was simply too great. Even Dimension Sundering realm intermediate stage cultivators would find it difficult to achieve such a feat!
"Don't worry, there's no problem with Zhang Shi's breakthrough method. If I were to meet Zhang Chun again, I'll pummel him so badly that even his own father won't recognize him!"
Luo Xuanqing said excitedly.
He had been fighting with Zhang Chun for many years now, and whenever he made a breakthrough, the other party would make a breakthrough as well. It was due to this that he had been desperately searching for the Dongxu Gourd to surpass the other party.
Who could have thought that even though the Dongxu Gourd did not acknowledge him, he would still be able to achieve a breakthrough?
With such strength, if he didn't pummel that fellow so badly that no one would recognize him, his surname wouldn't be Luo!
"That's good."
Hearing those words, the crowd heaved a sigh of relief. They turned to look at Zhang Xuan with fiery eyes.
"Ah …"
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Zhang Xuan scratched his head awkwardly and asked, "Now that we have resolved the matter regarding the Dongxu Gourd, should we return to the Sanctum of Sages?"
"Not yet. Since this is an ancient domain, there shouldn't be just the Dongxu Gourd. The reason why I invited Yun Lianhai here is so that we can use his ability to search around. Perhaps, we might be able to find even more valuable treasures!"
Luo Xuanqing replied with a smile.
