Chapter 154 Beyond the Limit

This trace of vital energy was extremely small, so small that it could almost be ignored.

If we look solely at the increase in internal strength, we can hardly feel any improvement.

But how sharp was Chen Yue's mental perception? He clearly caught that tiny change in internal energy, which became even more active.

This activity makes the internal energy flow more smoothly and seamlessly, greatly reducing friction with the meridians.

The changes in mental power are even more pronounced.

That trace of primordial energy has a unique nourishing effect on the mind and spirit.

The fact that Chen Yue felt refreshed after just two rounds of the Ten Thousand Forms Tiger Roaring Golden Bell fist technique is clear proof of this.

It was an elevation that came from the depths of his spirit. He could feel that his mental power had become more solid, and his perception had become more acute.

"To break through the threshold of the Innate Realm, a transformation of mind and spirit seems to be the first step!" Chen Yue's eyes flickered slightly.

Even if we don't go that far, being able to take the control of mental power to the next level would allow us to be bolder when using the Burning Heart Record.

Previously, when he used the Burning Heart Record, he only dared to burn a small amount of his mental energy each time to ensure his safety.

If mental power can be further strengthened and refined, then this safety ratio can be increased.

This directly translates to Chen Yue's daily cultivation level increasing again, which in turn shortens the time required to break through to the Refining Realm.

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared in Chen Yue's eyes.

Chen Yue stood up, walked to the center of the quiet room again, and resumed the starting stance of the Myriad Forms Tiger Roaring Golden Bell.

With the nourishment of this vital energy, he felt that he could even reduce his sleep time without affecting his energy and spirit during the day.

Since that's the case, let's make the most of this nighttime.

Inside the quiet room, Chen Yue's figure began to move slowly once again.

His fist energy condensed, his blood and qi surged, and in the void, the invisible primordial energy of heaven and earth quietly gathered and merged into his body.

The next morning, as dawn broke, a misty haze enveloped the scattered palaces and medicinal fields of Danfeng.

Chen Yue walked along the familiar bluestone path, his feet glistening with morning dew, toward the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.

He walked steadily, his breath was restrained, and there was no trace of the great battle he had just experienced yesterday.

When he stepped through the open vermilion door of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion, the previously noisy hall instantly fell silent.

All eyes were drawn to him.

Those gazes contained awe, curiosity, and a hint of undisguised complexity and astonishment.

The disciples of Baicao Pavilion usually deal with alchemy furnaces and medicinal herbs. Although they are not unfamiliar with martial arts battles, they are not particularly enthusiastic about them.

However, the battle in Panshi Lane yesterday caused such a great stir that it has already spread throughout the entire inner sect, including Danfeng.

The fact that someone at the Marrow Refining Realm could directly confront Cheng Fengjun, who had broken through to the Dirty Refining Realm, and severely injure him to the point of death, is astonishing anywhere.

What's more, the protagonist who achieved this feat was one of their own from Danfeng.

Chen Yue seemed oblivious to the stares that were directed at him. He calmly approached Zhao Weiyuan, bowed respectfully, and then walked to the counter where he could exchange medicinal herbs.

Upon seeing him, the disciple on duty immediately put down his work, his attitude even more respectful than usual: "Senior Brother Chen, good morning! Are you still refining the Nourishing Spirit Pill today?"

Chen Yue nodded: "Yes, please fetch two portions of the ingredients for the Nourishing Spirit Pill."

"Okay!"

The disciple quickly prepared the medicinal herbs and presented them with both hands. Chen Yue took the herbs, examined them, and without saying a word, turned and walked towards his usual alchemy furnace.

"You know, Senior Brother Chen doesn't seem like anything special, so how did he manage to beat Cheng Fengjun up like that?"

"Nonsense! How could a master reveal anything special to you? That's called returning to simplicity! Didn't you see the way he walks? As steady as a mountain, you can tell he has an extremely solid foundation!"

"I heard that Cheng Fengjun was seriously injured. Her right arm was almost ruined, she broke seven or eight ribs, and her internal organs were also affected. It will take at least a year or two for her to fully recover."

"Tsk tsk!"

Amidst the hushed whispers, Chen Yue had already reached his alchemy furnace.

He skillfully started the fire, warmed the furnace, and processed the medicinal herbs with fluid movements. The outside world's discussions and gazes were nothing more than a passing breeze to him, unable to stir up the slightest ripple.

About an hour later, Chen Yue turned off the fire and started the furnace.

Two batches of Yang Dan (a type of pill) were prepared, each batch yielding two pills, for a total of four pills.

It has a rich fragrance, a warm and lustrous color, and is of superior quality.

Chen Yue put the four pills into the jade bottle, but instead of exchanging them for contribution points as usual, he went to exchange them for...

Five Marrow Cleansing and Body Forging Pills.

Chen Yue didn't linger, nor did he pay attention to the gazes that were still fixed on him. He turned and left the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.

The reason why only two batches of Nourishing Spirit Pills were refined today was not because Chen Yue was lazy, but simply because he felt that there was not enough time.

If Chen Yue were to refine four or even five batches of Nourishing Spirit Pills as usual, he would have to spend nearly two hours at the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.

Last night's breakthrough with the Roaring Tiger Golden Bell gave Chen Yue a gut feeling that the number of Nourishing Spirit Pills and Yang Pills he could refine today could increase.

Just refining these pills would take several hours.

In addition to practicing various martial arts techniques, the twelve hours of the day were fully scheduled, making one wish they could split each hour into two.

Furthermore, it's impossible for Chen Yue to actually stay up all night; he simply can't do it at the moment.

Chen Yue's figure disappeared into the morning light outside the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.

Zhao Weiyuan sat upright in his chair, his gaze complex as he watched the departing figure.

He was silent for a long time.

When the news from Panshi Lane arrived yesterday, he was sorting through a batch of newly arrived medicinal herbs.

When he first heard it, he could hardly believe his ears.

Cheng Fengjun, a newly promoted cultivator of the Refining Marrow Realm, who cultivates the Azure Dragon Scale Transformation Technique and whose combat ability ranks among the top in the Mutual Aid Association, was actually severely injured and on the verge of death in a head-on confrontation with a young man who had just entered the Refining Marrow Realm.

He checked it several times before he finally had to accept the fact.

At this moment, Zhao Weiyuan was filled with mixed feelings.

He was also a veteran Refining Realm martial artist. Although he was more skilled in alchemy and his combat strength was not outstanding among Refining Realm martial artists, his realm was there and he still had insight.

He asked himself, if he were in Cheng Fengjun's shoes and faced that young man named Chen Yue, what were his chances of winning?

The answer is that he had absolutely no confidence.

He even had a vague premonition that if things really came to blows, his fate would probably be no better than Cheng Fengjun's.

After all, he failed to break through to the Innate Refining Aperture Realm when he was young, leaving behind a hidden injury that was difficult to cure. Although he had tried his best to suppress it over the years, it had ultimately affected his foundation.

Normally, he could easily handle ordinary Marrow Refining Realm cultivators, but against a monster like Chen Yue who could crush opponents across a whole realm...

Things.

Zhao Weiyuan sighed slowly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Chen Yue returned to his courtyard and sat down cross-legged in the quiet room.

Instead of rushing to start cultivating, he first closed his eyes and regulated his breathing for a moment, adjusting his mind to the most stable state.

Then, Chen Yue took out the jade bottle, poured out a Nourishing Spirit Pill, and put it into his mouth.

The pill entered my stomach, and a familiar cool and soothing sensation spread through me.

He immediately activated the Burning Heart Record as usual, separating a wisp of heart fire, and at the same time activated the Vast Heart Rock Technique to begin refining and absorbing the medicinal power.

Less than half an hour later.

Chen Yue slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise and satisfaction flashing in them.

He could clearly feel that the speed at which he refined this Nourishing Spirit Pill was much faster today than yesterday.

More importantly, he discovered that the pressure on his dantian and meridians during the refining process was much less than the day before.

Originally, when the Burning Heart Record catalyzes the medicinal power, the energy in the dantian becomes extremely violent, causing a considerable impact on the meridians and dantian barrier.

Although he was protected by the Tiger Roar Golden Bell Shield, Chen Yue still needed to carefully control the output of his heart fire each time to ensure that it would not exceed the limits of his body.

But today, he discovered that when that violent energy surged through his meridians, the previously threatening feeling completely disappeared.

After breaking through the limits, the Myriad Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell not only allowed him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also brought his overall physical qualities to a whole new level.

That invisible inner armor is the most direct defensive enhancement brought about by this limit-breaking technique.

"Since there's no need to worry about the meridians and dantian not being able to withstand it—"

Chen Yue's eyes flashed, and a bold idea emerged: could the speed of the Hao Xin Pan Shi Gong be increased to its limit?

Under normal circumstances, martial artists would never push their techniques to their maximum speed during training.

This is because it means that the meridians and the Qi Sea will have to withstand pressure far exceeding the norm. It may be able to erupt in a short time, but if it is maintained for a long time, it will inevitably lead to damage to the meridians, and may even leave hidden injuries that are difficult to heal.

Such a burst of power is only used in short battles to unleash one's full strength.

But at this moment, Chen Yue felt that he might be able to give it a try.

With the Limitless Myriad Forms Tiger Roar Golden Bell protecting him, that invisible inner armor is enough to withstand the impact of operating at its limit.

The half-hour of cultivation just now has proven this point; his dantian and meridians are as stable as Mount Tai, without any discomfort.

Chen Yue took a deep breath, swallowed another Nourishing Spirit Pill, and with a thought, activated the Burning Heart Record and increased the speed of the Vast Heart Rock Technique to its limit!

hum!

Within his dantian, the qi, already stimulated by the heart fire, instantly boiled over under the influence of the Haoxin Panshi Gong.

A surge of powerful energy coursed through Chen Yue's meridians at a speed far exceeding any other time. A powerful aura rose from within Chen Yue's body, stirring his clothes and hair.

However, there was no sign of pain or strain on Chen Yue's face.

Very stable!

The dantian and meridians are as stable as Mount Tai.

The invisible defense provided by the Myriad Roars of the Tiger Bell perfectly absorbed and dissolved all the pressure brought about by the extreme operation.

Chen Yue could clearly feel that, under this extreme condition, the speed at which the medicinal power of the Nourishing Spirit Pill was being refined and absorbed was nearly 30% faster than before!

"This is how you cultivate!" Chen Yue felt relieved.

Without further hesitation, he focused his mind and immersed himself in this unprecedentedly efficient state of cultivation.
