Goddess Painting

Qin Feng moved quickly through the passageway, a look of joy on his face.

This time we had a very fruitful harvest!

Mushroom!

Bone-corroding herb!

And those five whole drops of Earth Vein Spirit Milk!

Priceless!

"We need to hurry! We must find a safe place to dispose of these treasures!"

Qin Feng lowered his bamboo hat, his figure moving like a raccoon slithering through the shadows of a cave, so fast that only a gray afterimage could be seen!

He unfolded the map, his fingertips tracing the crisscrossing lines!

"No...no, there are too many people here! This place...is right!"

His gaze was fixed on a corner marked "Abandoned Mine Tunnel".

The spiritual energy there is almost depleted, and the rock strata are hard and dry. It is a ghostly place that even demonic beasts despise!

Half an hour later.

Qin Feng kicked aside the pile of rubble in the mine tunnel. This place was hundreds of feet underground, and the air was filled with a dry, earthy smell.

"Hmm? That's...?"

At the corner of the mine tunnel, there was a small cave less than ten feet wide. The entrance was half-hidden, and the pile of rubble was somewhat messy, clearly showing signs of human excavation.

Qin Feng's nostrils twitched slightly.

It doesn't smell like a demon!

There was only a faint musty smell and years of accumulated dust!

"What a wonderful place! It's like a secret chamber prepared by God for me!"

He crawled into the cave and immediately spotted a bluish-gray rock at the corner, about the size of a water vat.

Qin Feng let out a "heh," and suddenly exerted force with both arms, revealing a layer of warm luster beneath his skin.

"Snap!"

The massive boulder, weighing thousands of pounds, felt as heavy as nothing in his hands. He dragged it to the cave entrance, sealing off the only exit perfectly!

In the darkness, Qin Feng let out a long sigh and sat down cross-legged.

"It's time to turn these into strength!"

He took out a mushroom from his storage bag.

The mushroom was dark purple with bright silver spots all over it, emitting a faint, cold light in the darkness that sent chills down your spine!

Without hesitation, Qin Feng opened his mouth and began to chew vigorously!

"Snap, snap!"

A stream of icy, bone-chilling liquid instantly slid down my throat and into my stomach!

"boom--!"

The next second, Qin Feng felt as if a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice had been stuffed into his stomach!

Immediately afterwards, the icy coldness transformed into a violent purplish-black toxin, like thousands of bloodthirsty ants, frantically flowing into his limbs and bones through his bloodstream!

"Hmm!"

Qin Feng's body trembled violently, and the veins on his forehead bulged out like earthworms!

Excruciating pain!

The excruciating pain that feels like it's tearing every inch of muscle apart and corroding every nerve!

His skin instantly turned an eerie dark purple, and even wisps of purple smoke oozed from his pores!

"This toxicity...it's incredibly potent?!"

Qin Feng roared inwardly!

His gums were bleeding from biting them, and his whole body was trembling violently from spasms!

"Share this with me!!"

Within the dantian, the colorless ball of energy sensed its master's danger and instantly accelerated to its limit!

The four sacred spiritual roots shone brightly, especially the newly formed purple poisonous spiritual root, which at this moment was like a starving ghost that hadn't eaten for ten days, frantically devouring the rampant toxins!

Refine!

Insane Refining!

The toxins that were originally meant to turn Qin Feng into a puddle of pus, under the influence of the poisonous spiritual root, became as docile as lambs, gradually transforming into pure purple spiritual power that flowed into his meridians!

I don't know how much time has passed.

Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of purple light disappearing in his pupils!

He looked inward at himself.

His bones have actually become much thicker!

A purple hue appeared in the spiritual energy flowing through the meridians!

This is... poison-attribute spiritual power?!

Qin Feng was pleasantly surprised.

He originally possessed three types of spiritual power, and now he has added a poison attribute!

Unfortunately, I don't have any poison-attribute cultivation techniques, and this poison-attribute spiritual energy is considered non-renewable.

The only way to replenish it is by refining the toxins.

"A poison-attribute cultivation technique... I absolutely must get my hands on it once we leave the secret realm!"

His gaze was fixed on the bone-corroding grass beside him.

This elixir is also highly toxic, which is perfect for replenishing my poison-attribute spiritual power!

"Again!!"

When the bone-corroding herb enters the stomach, it feels like swallowing a red-hot wire!

Qin Feng was soaked to the bone, and his sweat stained the stone slabs in the mine tunnel!

He felt cold when he was refining the Yin Marrow Mushroom, but now that he has eaten this Bone-Corroding Grass, his body feels like it is being tossed around in a furnace!

One cold, one hot – two extreme toxins clashed violently within his body!

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

His heart was pounding wildly, and with each beat, a torrent of medicinal power surged forth, nourishing every inch of his flesh!

When the last poisonous plant was drained.

A thunderous roar resounded from Qin Feng's body!

The Ninth Level of the New Realm!!

Breakthrough!

strength!

An overwhelming force!

At that moment, he felt as if he could shatter the rock walls of the mine tunnel with a wave of his hand!

The original three elements of spiritual power within his body had completely become a mixture of four elements, and the sense of weight and depth was more than ten times stronger than that of an ordinary martial artist!

"And then... is the Earth Vein Spirit Milk!"

Qin Feng wiped the blood off his face and took out the five drops of milky white earth vein spirit milk from his storage bag!

This is a fourth-tier rare and precious material!

Every drop contains the most essential essence of the earth!

It is completely harmless to martial artists and can be taken directly!

Generally speaking, if you can obtain even a single drop of this in the Earthfall Secret Realm, then your trip will not have been in vain!

It can be said that the harvest was very fruitful!

And I have five drops right now!

"swallow!!"

Without saying a word, Qin Feng put a drop directly into his mouth.

It lacks the toxic violence, possessing only a gentle, profound quality.

That energy surged instantly to every part of my body; it wasn't destroying, but rather—reshaping!

The essence of the earth, flowing with spiritual energy, permeated every cell of Qin Feng's body.

His skin began to show a strange change; his originally slightly sallow complexion now faintly revealed a layer of jade-like luster!

The second drop!

The third drop!

The spiritual energy within his body was like a roaring, angry dragon, frantically assaulting the ceiling of the ninth level of the New Life Realm!

Qin Feng's aura is rising steadily!

The oppressive force killed even the tiny insects hiding in the cracks of the mine tunnels on the spot!

The fourth drop!!

"Break it—!!"

Qin Feng roared inwardly!

The vortex of energy within his dantian was so dense it couldn't be dissolved!

"Buzz!!!"

A visible ripple appeared in the air!

The pinnacle of the new realm!!

The distance to the Divine Power Realm is only a thin sheet of paper away!

If Qin Feng were to encounter that mid-stage Divine Power Realm demon beast now, he could kill it instantly with a single blow!

However, when Qin Feng tried to continue his breakthrough to the Divine Power Realm, he found that the barrier in front of him was as thick as an iron mountain!

"How can it be so hard?!"

Qin Feng could only manage a wry smile.

This must be because of that Dragon Elephant Heavenly Foundation Pill!

Although consuming that divine pill made him invincible in his own realm and even allowed him to fight against those in the Divine Power Realm, his foundation became ridiculously stable, which also increased the difficulty of breaking through several times over!

It's like other cultivators building an earthen wall, which can be easily breached.

He built a wall of black iron; to get past it, you'd have to ram your head against it!

Qin Feng estimated that he would need to obtain some more rare and precious herbs that he could consume directly in order to use their power to break through to the level of divine power.

However, a strong bottleneck also has its advantages. Once it is broken through, one can then push towards a higher realm. At that time, one might even break through to the second level of the Divine Power Realm!

"However... since I can't break through it, I'll just build this foundation all the way to the sky!"

He swallowed the fifth drop of Earth Vein Spirit Milk.

This time, instead of trying to break through to a higher realm, he frantically infused the essence of the earth into his physical body!

"Click...click click..."

His bones crackled like popping beans.

Gradually, Qin Feng's breathing became heavy and long, and his body seemed to become one with the ground beneath his feet.

That jade-like luster spread from his fingertips all the way up to his chest!

"At this moment... a body made of jade?!"

Qin Feng suddenly stood up and punched the rock wall next to him!

"BOOM!!"

Without using even a trace of spiritual power, relying solely on physical strength, he actually smashed a fist-sized imprint into the incredibly hard abyssal magnet!

If there were any body-refining martial artists here, they would be absolutely astonished!

This is the prototype of the "precious body" that countless body cultivators dream of!

He actually managed to refine it by sheer chance, using just a few drops of earth vein essence?!
