Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 226: Body Training with Poison

"Senior Sister."

"Don’t talk, kiss me."

"Mmm..."

Not seeing Gu Yourong for a year, she was quite passionate, dismissing the boy before pouncing directly on Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin certainly couldn’t go against the lady’s wishes and catered to her every demand.

After three hundred rounds, the two lay quietly on the bed.

Gu Yourong rested her head on Zhong Lin’s arm, her slender fingers tracing circles on his chest, her face still carrying a faint blush.

"How long will you stay this time?" Gu Yourong suddenly asked.

Zhong Lin glanced down at Gu Yourong and chuckled: "Is it that obvious?"

"Hmph!"

Gu Yourong’s silver teeth bit viciously into Zhong Lin’s chest, but she didn’t bite hard, just leaving a neat row of teeth marks.

"I know you have many secrets, and I won’t ask; I’ll stay in the sect waiting for you, taking care of the boy, just promise not to forget me."

Gu Yourong mumbled, lying on Zhong Lin’s chest.

Zhong Lin’s hand froze for a moment, then he gently caressed Gu Yourong’s smooth back and softly said, "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but it’s too important. Knowing it would only add danger. When the time is right, I will tell you everything. Stay in the sect, wait for me." ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"Mm."

"Come, I have a gift for you."

As he spoke, Zhong Lin sat up; Gu Yourong also got up and pulled the quilt over to place it above the pillows to make it more comfortable for Zhong Lin to lean on.

Zhong Lin took out an elixir from his storage bracelet: "This elixir is called the Color Fixing Pill. After taking it, you can keep your youthful appearance unchanged for twenty years. By taking one every twenty years, you can maintain eternal youth."

For women, no matter how powerful, there’s always an inexplicable obsession with their appearance. So when Zhong Lin spoke of the elixir’s effects, Gu Yourong, who was previously in low spirits, immediately had her eyes light up.

"Zhong Lin, are you... are you telling the truth? How can there be such an elixir?" Gu Yourong exclaimed, trembling.

"When have I ever lied to you, Senior Sister? This is something I painstakingly refined just for you, take it."

Without a doubt, Gu Yourong opened her mouth and swallowed it. The elixir melted instantly, and she immediately felt a surge of medicinal power flowing through her body.

Moments later, Gu Yourong opened her eyes, her face full of excitement.

"It’s true, I can feel the medicinal power merging into my skin, especially my face."

After speaking and not caring about being unclothed, she ran to the dressing table and continually examined her appearance in the bronze mirror above.

The reflection showed her skin more delicate, her cheeks whiter, suffused with a sense of moisture and tenderness, as if she had returned to being eighteen again.

"Ah..."

Gu Yourong screamed and once again pounced on Zhong Lin, kissing his face fiercely.

"Zhong Lin, thank you."

"Thanks aren’t just spoken with words; it depends on your actions." Zhong Lin raised an eyebrow and said.

Gu Yourong gave Zhong Lin a sidelong glance, and naturally moved her body downward.

...

Having placated Gu Yourong, he also left her some elixirs, spirit stones, including one Breakthrough Pill.

Gu Yourong’s aptitude wasn’t bad. In the environment of Xuan Gui Continent, anyone who could cultivate martial arts to the upper third grades had decent aptitude.

Half a year ago, Gu Yourong had already cultivated inner breath and, with the sect’s elixirs, had now reached the Second Grade Meridian Passage Realm.

With the elixirs and spirit stones provided by Zhong Lin, it shouldn’t take long for her to complete the cultivation of the twelve layers of the meridian passage, condensing True Qi in one go. By then, with the Breakthrough Pill, the gate to the Innate Realm would be wide open for her; as long as she proceeds systematically, breaking through would merely be a matter of time.

Zhong Lin sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion, taking out the "Poison Pearl" from his storage bracelet.

The Poison Pearl had been sealed with spiritual origin by Zhong Lin; otherwise, if its poison were to leak, it wouldn’t be long before the entire Hengduan Mountains turned into a wasteland. As for the Sword Cauldron Sect dwelling within, only a few Innate Martial Artists would have the chance to escape, while others would become nothing but skeletons.

"The cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Golden Body becomes more difficult as it progresses. The fourth layer already gives me a giant power of eighty thousand pounds, and the fifth layer can further increase it to one hundred and sixty thousand pounds, more than doubling it. By then, relying solely on the physical body, I could fight against martial artists in the Spirit Sea Realm. And this is merely an Earth Level low grade cultivation technique. I can’t imagine how powerful a Heavenly Level technique must be."

Zhong Lin continually marveled in his heart, deeply impressed by the Dragon Elephant Golden Body, a martial art focusing on refining the physical body.

The first layer of Dragon Elephant Golden Body, once trained, grants a power of ten thousand pounds; the second layer, twenty thousand; the third layer, forty thousand; the fourth layer, eighty thousand...

With each level, the power directly doubles. By reaching the Ninth Layer, one would possess a strength of two hundred and fifty-six thousand pounds, nearly three million. With each punch and kick, it would seem as though carrying a dragon or an elephant, utterly terrifying.

Similarly, the difficulty of cultivating this martial art increases geometrically as you progress further.

Zhong Lin completed the first two layers by leveraging the power of the Treasure Fish, while the third and fourth layers were achieved by consuming a large number of body-enhancing elixirs, expending substantial resources.

Now, to achieve the fifth layer, common elixirs have become useless, and thus Zhong Lin intends to chart a new path, using poison to stimulate the body’s self-evolution, breaking through to an even higher level.

Ordinary people would dare not attempt this, having to incrementally improve through meticulous cultivation.

But Zhong Lin, utilizing the System Panel, long ago comprehended the Dragon Elephant Golden Body technique thoroughly, as if he were its creator, understanding each stage profoundly, akin to relearning the technique. Naturally, there was no concern about insufficient comprehension leading to a fatal mistake.

Moreover, Zhong Lin himself was a master of medicine and poison, naturally daring to proceed this way.

For ordinary people, they might likely poison themselves to death before a breakthrough.

Thinking of this, Zhong Lin did not hesitate much longer, sitting cross-legged, with closed eyes, hands facing the sky.

Under his mental guidance, a jet-black, ink-like poison gas from the Poison Pearl slowly flowed into his body through the meridians.

As soon as this poison entered his body, Zhong Lin immediately experienced intense pain, and a sense of weakness spread throughout his body, making him feel as if he had returned to his initial state as a frail youth.

"This poison... is potent, cough cough!"

Not daring to hesitate, Zhong Lin swiftly operated the Dragon Elephant Golden Body. Instantly, his skin shimmered with a faint golden light, the golden glow enveloping the body like glass.

The human body is a very intricate system. Under Zhong Lin’s guidance, the poison from the Poison Pearl invaded his flesh, barely inciting an automatic counterattack from the body. However, once this automatic response obliterates the foreign intrusion, the body reverts to its initial state, which is precisely when Zhong Lin needs to intervene.

He directs the operation of the Dragon Elephant Golden Body, luring the body to adjust or evolve in the desired direction.

An hour later, Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes, unable to hide the exhaustion and pain on his body, but his gaze was exceedingly bright, filled with endless joy.

"Haha, it’s indeed doable."
