No hope for eternal life

Chapter 131 Golden Core Realm

This medicinal bath lasted for half a month.

Mu Changsheng was only one step away from a breakthrough in his body refining realm. The only thing he lacked was an opportunity for a breakthrough. So for the past half month, Mu Changsheng had been waiting for that opportunity.

At this moment, the opportunity had arrived. Mu Changsheng immediately took a red blood pill to break through the barrier and began to formally impact the realm of muscle transformation.

After taking the Red Blood Pill, Mu Changsheng's body suddenly underwent earth-shaking changes, his blood surging and his muscles churning.

From the outside, Mu Changsheng, who was meditating at the moment, was completely red, surrounded by a blood mist that lingered.

This situation lasted for three days and three nights. On the third day, the blood and energy around Mu Changsheng suddenly returned to his body. At the same time, Mu Changsheng's red skin returned to normal.

Mu Changsheng opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and a breath of fresh air came out of his mouth.

The clear air came out but did not dissipate. Instead, it was like a sharp arrow, shooting onto a stool at a very fast speed.

"Rustle." The stool shattered into pieces and turned into a pile of powder.

"Not bad." Mu Changsheng nodded slightly, very satisfied with the power of that breath of fresh air.

This is also an important new means that Mu Changsheng acquired after breaking through to the transformation of muscles and bones - internal strength.

Internal strength is derived from flesh, blood, tendons and bones, and can also be called true qi. According to the concept of the Nine Transformations of the Physical Body Secret Art, this true qi is like the life of a physical cultivator; as long as the qi exists, the physical body will be immortal.

Simply put, by using this breath of true energy to perform various secret techniques, Mu Changsheng finally had a means of long-range attack besides talismans.

In the previous Mishan competition, Shen Qianliu used the same principle of fist attack, but the body refining secret technique was different, so the performance would be different.

Moreover, Mu Changsheng's true energy not only allows him to launch long-range attacks, but is also related to his next physical realm.

The fourth of the nine changes of the physical body is called the Organ Qi Change. The word "Qi" in it corresponds to this breath of true qi.

When it reaches the level of internal Qi transformation, the power of this true Qi will undergo a qualitative leap, and a breath of true Qi exhaled is enough to cause mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.

Mu Changsheng clenched his fists, resisting the urge to try his hand at punching and kicking. After all, this was not a training room specifically for cultivation, and it could not withstand his punches and kicks.

Then, Mu Changsheng finally took out the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill that he had been longing for. The sky-high price of one pill, at one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones, discouraged countless foundation-building cultivators from even considering it.

The Nine-Turn Golden Pill is definitely one of the greatest elixir inventions in the history of the Nine Realms. No matter what your aptitude and foundation are, one pill can allow you to 100% produce a ninth-grade golden pill, laying the most solid foundation for your future ascent to the great road.

Finally, Mu Changsheng stopped sighing and swallowed it in one gulp to feel the magic of the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill.

The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill melted in his mouth and immediately turned into a golden warm current, quickly flowing towards Mu Changsheng's dantian.

The spiritual foundation within the Dantian encountered the golden warm current transformed by the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir, and instantly melted like ice and snow, turning into drops of golden spiritual liquid.

Soon, the entire spiritual base in the Dantian melted away, and the golden spiritual liquid condensed from countless spiritual bases gathered together, and under the effect of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, it was kneaded into a huge golden sphere.

Afterwards, the golden sphere seemed to have life. The surface of the sphere kept beating, and with every beat, a tiny impurity would be peeled off from it.

The next step is to just wait until the impurities in the golden ball are completely removed, and then the ninth-grade elixir will be ready.

During this entire process, Mu Changsheng didn't even need to make any extra moves, and left everything to the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill. This is one of the reasons why the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill series of pills are so popular. There is no need to worry about any risks that may occur during the breakthrough process.

Time continued to pass. It usually took a few days for an ordinary cultivator to break through to the Golden Core Realm, but it took Mu Changsheng a full thirteen days. This might be related to the quality of his golden core.

At this time, Mu Changsheng's dantian became empty compared to before, and instead, there was only a golden elixir that took up a small area, was round and full, and exuded a purple-gold luster.

The purple gold pill slowly rotated in Mu Changsheng's dantian. As the golden pill rotated, wisps of purple gold pill energy flowed out from the golden pill, spread in the dantian, and then flowed into Mu Changsheng's limbs and bones.

This is the special feature of the ninth-grade golden elixir. Some low-quality golden elixirs will not actively release elixir energy, so if a cultivator wants to use the elixir energy, he must extract it from the golden elixir. Using too much elixir energy may even damage one's own golden elixir.

The ninth-grade golden elixir can automatically emit elixir energy at all times for cultivators to use at will. Not to mention, with the same amount of elixir energy or magic power, the ninth-grade golden elixir is more powerful. It can be used to perform various secret techniques, and its power is self-evident.

In addition, as Mu Changsheng's realm broke through, a process of cultivation feedback was also in full swing in Mu Changsheng's body.

Mu Changsheng's muscles became tougher under the nourishment of the golden elixir, and as a result, the true energy in his body also slowly grew stronger.

Strengthening muscles and true energy is also what Mu Changsheng needs to do when he reaches the muscle transformation realm.

Just like the previous copper skin and iron bone transformations, the muscle transformation is also divided into three levels: minor success, major success, and perfection.

Mu Changsheng had just broken through to the muscle transformation and was still in the realm of small muscle transformation. However, with the feedback from his cultivation breakthrough, he was constantly consolidating his strength and even began to improve steadily, heading towards the realm of large muscle transformation.

This cultivation feedback lasted for seven hours. Although it failed to allow Mu Changsheng to break through to the level of muscle enlargement, he was not far away.

At this point, Mu Changsheng's retreat, which had lasted for nearly a month, finally came to an end.

Mu Changsheng stood up and started practicing his boxing moves. Every punch and kick was full of power.

After performing the moves three times, Mu Changsheng finally felt relaxed all over, and he had adapted to the breakthrough.

Mu Changsheng today has made breakthroughs in both his cultivation and body refining, and his strength has greatly increased. He is no longer the same as before.

"The ancients said: Once I swallow a golden elixir, my fate will be determined by myself, not by God. This is used to describe the transformation of the golden elixir realm." Mu Changsheng sighed: "However, this saying is from who knows how many tens of thousands of years ago, and it is already outdated. The current golden elixir realm is just the lower three realms."

Realizing that he was still very weak, Mu Changsheng withdrew his joy and returned to calm.

"The great path is hard to find, and the road ahead is long and arduous." Mu Changsheng warned himself in his heart.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng walked out of the room refreshed, but saw Mu Xun standing outside the door.

Mu Xun was relieved to see Mu Changsheng finally come out, and complained slightly: "Why did you stay in seclusion for so long?"

It turned out that after Mu Xun broke through, he saw a sign hanging on Mu Changsheng's door saying "Retreat, Do Not Disturb" and he became worried, so he stayed outside the door for more than ten days.

Mu Changsheng also guessed the reason and said repeatedly: "Sorry, sorry, I forgot to tell you that in addition to the breakthrough in cultivation, I also broke through the body refining realm, so it took so long."

"So, your current physical body can confront a Jindan realm cultivator?" Mu Xun asked curiously.

"If I meet Shen Qianliu again, my physical body alone will be enough to beat him." Mu Changsheng smiled faintly and said confidently.

Mu Xun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said, "It just so happens that after I broke through to the Golden Core Realm, I have acquired a lot of new skills, and I was just looking for someone to learn from."
