Chapter 619: A Great Increase in Strength

"It's almost done, let's start improving our physical strength."

After resting for a while, he felt that his strength had recovered. Although his mind was still in turmoil, he could still bear it.

After taking a deep breath, he sat down cross-legged again. With a thought, more than 300 treasures appeared around him.

These were all purchased by him in large and small chambers of commerce over the past ten days. Some were worth fifty or sixty high-level spirit stones, and some were worth thousands of intermediate spirit stones. He spent a lot of effort selecting them. Although the quality varied, they were all the most suitable for practicing the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Technique, which maximized the value of his family assets.

"I wonder to what extent my physical strength can be improved after absorbing all of this."

After muttering something, he closed his eyes and activated the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Technique.

The dormant spirit fetus in the body began to become active again, emitting a soft light, and gradually, a suction force came from inside.

Immediately afterwards, five kinds of essence began to flow out from the surrounding treasures, like five vast rivers, converging towards his body.

As the five kinds of essences were refined by the spiritual fetus, he felt his body beginning to fill up, his physical strength slowly increased, and the golden elixir in the cave also began to emit a stronger immortal luster.

He opened a cave of spiritual medicine, and the golden elixir can also be said to be a spiritual medicine golden elixir. The golden elixir emits light like a sun. The spiritual medicines planted in the cave are like vegetables planted in a vegetable garden. Under the shining of the immortal luster of the golden elixir, they become more vibrant.

And as time went by, the discomfort caused by taking the spiritual insects was gradually subsiding.

To absorb the essence, one only needs to activate the spirit fetus, and does not need to spend too much mental energy. Lu Luan had already calculated all this before going into seclusion. He first took the spirit insects to practice his skills and magical powers, and then while the spirit fetus was absorbing the essence, he recovered from the side effects brought by the spirit insects. After all the treasures were consumed, the symptoms of his side effects had almost dissipated, and he no longer needed to spend time recovering.

Time flies, and one year has passed.

In the secret room, only Lu Luan was left sitting in the darkness. Those treasures that emitted unparalleled brilliant luster had disappeared, and the aura on his body began to return to normal and stopped growing.

Although motionless, the strong pressure emanating from the body makes people feel fear instinctively.

"Finally it's almost done."

Feeling that the momentum of his physical strength had leveled off, Lu Luan opened his eyes.

He clenched his fist and muttered, "About 350,000 fierce horses. It seems that the cost of improving strength will become higher and higher as time goes by."

After feeling the increased power, there was some disappointment in his eyes. He spent more than 500 high-level spirit stones to increase the power of 150,000 fierce horses. When he was in the Qi Refining Stage before, a few hundred low-level spirit stones could increase the power of several fierce horses.

He felt how difficult it was to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core without the support of a big force. This was also the reason why some sects and families had many masters in the early stage of the Golden Core but had never produced a master in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Not to mention the problem of talent, the training resources alone were not something that anyone could afford. It was precisely because it was so difficult to break through that many of the once prosperous forces slowly withered away.

"Although my current physical strength is not as good as those in the middle Jindan stage, but if I want to activate the stone tablet, not everyone in the middle Jindan stage can take it on." He held the stone tablet in his hand, feeling the power in it, and said to himself.

As physical strength increases, the power that the stone tablet can unleash also increases significantly.

He stood up and said, "My current strength is almost unmatched by anyone in the early stage of the Golden Core. Unfortunately, the Spiritual Medicine Cave Heaven is not suitable for fighting. If the Five Elements Cave Heaven paired with the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Art is opened, my strength should be increased by several percent by operating the cave heaven. My physical body can fight against those in the middle stage of the Golden Core."

The Five Spirit Thunder Embryo Art is very powerful. He has not yet felt the barrier of the middle stage of the Golden Core, so his physical strength still has the potential to be improved in the early stage of the Golden Core. Once it is improved to the point where he can feel the existence of the barrier, he will surely be comparable to people in the middle stage of the Golden Core.

In fact, if he had opened the Five Elements Cave Heaven, when activating the cave heaven, he could have increased his physical strength to a higher level in a short period of time, but he had chosen the Spiritual Medicine Cave Heaven, so he lost these abilities. Of course, he also gained a longer lifespan.

Even though he didn't have the help of Dongtian, he was now in the early stage of Jindan. As long as he didn't meet someone who was also practicing high-quality skills like the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Technique, almost no one could match him in terms of physical strength.

"Alas, I'm poor again. This method of refining essence is really a bottomless pit."

Lu Luan stretched his body after sitting for a long time, looked at the storage ring, sighed with a wry smile, and now he had less than twenty high-level spirit stones on him.

Thinking that I had spent more than 800 high-level spirit stones in just over a year, I still felt a dull pain in my heart.

There are many kinds of essence-refining techniques. The ones practiced by demons mostly absorb souls, flesh, blood, etc. He knew that Shangguan Linglong practiced by absorbing the blood of living beings to improve her physical strength. As for the immortals, the essence-refining techniques are mainly based on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There are also techniques like the Five Thunder Spirit Embryo Technique that absorb the treasures nurtured by heaven and earth.

Next, he began to emit Xuan Gang. After feeling it, he nodded and said, "Not bad, the defense has increased a lot. This layer of Xuan Gang alone can block the attacks of most people in the middle stage of Jindan."

Lu Luan was still very satisfied with this layer of Xuan Gang defense.

"Okay, there's this thing."

After feeling the changes in his body, Lu Luan sat down cross-legged again. He was not done yet. With a wave of his hand, three strange-looking insect-like monsters appeared in front of him.

He now planned to practice the puppetry of the worms and use these three worms as pathfinders. This way he could not only test various dangers, but also, if necessary, he could affix the substitute talismans he bought to interfere with the enemy's tracking.

After taking a look, his hands began to change rapidly.

These insects were specially refined by him in the weapon refining force according to his own needs. Because their bloodlines are much higher than those of the Earth Dragon Golden Turtle, after being refined into puppets and absorbing the minerals in the veins, their quality will be much better than the previous puppet.

I saw puppet runes flying out from between his fingers and attached to the insects. After more than a year of recovery, the discomfort caused by taking the spiritual insects had subsided. In addition, he had already broken through to the Golden Core realm, and his aptitude had improved a little compared to the Foundation Establishment realm. He also had practice experience, so when he condensed the puppet runes again, the speed was much faster than before.

As more and more puppetry runes were engraved on the insects, gradually, the feeling of mental connection began to emerge.

The insects began to move slightly, as if they had come to life again, flying slowly around him.

(PS: Let me briefly talk about the settings of each small realm. The three small realms of early, middle and late stages are equivalent to three batteries arranged in ascending order of capacity. Improving cultivation is a process of charging. Only when the previous battery is fully charged can the next battery be charged. The strength of each small realm has a certain room for improvement. It is impossible to break through at a certain level and then remain at that level. The state of each battery being fully charged is the peak, such as the peak of the early stage, the peak of the middle stage, and the peak of the late stage. The peak of the late stage is the great perfection of this realm.)
