BAB 12 : Breaking Through the Body Refining Realm

The door opened, a faint scent wafted from inside.

A graceful figure with a beautiful face was sitting behind a long black table. Her beauty really can make people amazed.

"Director, Master Lu is here." The staff didn't dare to look up as they spoke to the purple-robed figure behind the counter.

"Oh?" A soft voice sounded, and Ji Ya's beautiful gaze fell at Lu Chen, then she stood up.

"Master Lu, please come in!" Ji Ya stretched out her slender finger to invite Lu Chen in.

Lu Chen had long heard of Ji Ya, the director of this Treasure Gathering Pavilion, but he had never met her. When he saw the woman today, Lu Chen had to admit that Ji Ya must be one of the most beautiful women in the entire Wind City. Even Lu Yanran of the Lu family is as beautiful as Ji Ya, but Ji Ya is more charming. Perhaps due to age, Lu Yanran was not as mature as Ji Ya.

"I know that Master Lu sold some excellent quality Bone Refining Pills at the Treasure Gathering Pavilion last time. May I ask if you will be selling these pills again?" Ji Ya asked Lu Chen to sit down and started talking about the medicine in person.

Ji Ya had heard of Lu Chen's name several times before, but she had never been interested. She was surprised to learn that Lu Chen is a handsome man. This young man is better than she had expected.

"Yes, I have some Excellent grade pill to sell."Lu Chen nodded.

At this time, the staff had closed the door and left the room quietly. Lu Chen was an ordinary person, everyone in Wind City knew that. So the staff wasn't worried about Ji Ya's safety. Another reason was because Ji Ya herself is a very strong cultivator.

"Master Lu, if you don't mind, may I ask where you got this pill?" asked Ji Ya with a smile.

The reason why she wanted to see Lu Chen was not because Lu Chen had sold several bottles of the Bone Refining Pill, but because she wanted to know if there was a strong intermediate alchemist behind Lu Chen. Otherwise, where would Lu Chen get this excellent grade pill?

If there really were some powerful alchemists behind Lu Chen, Ji Ya was obviously curious. If that person wasn't the senior alchemist of the Lu family, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion could try forming a relationship with him. Building relationships with senior alchemists is beneficial to the development of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. Even though the Treasure Gathering Pavilion had cooperated with many senior alchemists, the more senior alchemists they could work with, the better.

"Actually, I made this pill." said Lu Chen without hesitation.

"What?" Ji Ya couldn't believe what she just heard.

She thought that Lu Chen refused to tell her the source of the pill, and she also thought that Lu Chen would give her the answer, but she never expected to get a reply like this.

Ji Ya was surprised for a moment and laughed again. Obviously, she didn't believed Lu Chen's words. Not only him, no one would believe Lu Chen's words, except for Lu Tianxing.

Lu Chen could tell that this woman didn't believe him from her smile, but it didn't matter. Even though Ji Ya doesn't believe him, this woman will definitely buy the pill.

"Mr. Lu, since you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Now you can take out the pill you want to sell." Although the smile on Ji Ya's face did not disappear, Lu Chen could clearly feel that her demeanor had become a lot colder.

Lu Chen didn't care about this. He took out eleven bottles of Body Refining Pill directly.

"Is all of thi Pill of excellent grade?" asked Ji Ya.

"Not exactly, there are four bottles of ordinary grade, and the rest are of excellent grade," Lu Chen replied.

"Well, the pill Mr. Lu sold this time wasn't as good as the last time." Ji Ya said casually. Then she opened a porcelain bottle and her face immediately changed.

With her ability, of course, she could tell right away that this bottle of pill is not a Bone Refining Pill, but a Body Refining Pill.

Ji Ya looked at Lu Chen with a surprised expression. She had thought Lu Chen was selling Bone Refining Pill, but she didn't expect it to be a Body Refining Pill.

Lu Chen didn't say a word. He was just waiting for Ji Ya to continue checking the other Pills.

Immediately, the eleven bottles of pill were all checked.

"Master Lu, if you are willing to introduce this man who made the pill to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, we are more than happy to pay you a sizable introductory fee." Ji Ya took a deep breath and looked at Lu Chen again.

Ji Ya can see that these pills are all made by one person.

They should be refined in the same batch and the time intervals should not be too long. In other words, this person refined eleven bottles of Body Refining Pill, seven of which were of excellent grade. The success rate are quite amazing.

As far as she knew, even the best of all the senior alchemists in the entire Wind City might not be able to achieve this success rate.

"Miss Ji, as I said before, this pill was all made by me myself." Lu Chen shook his head in frustration.

"Haha, then, let's talk about the purchase price of this pill." Ji Ya did not inquire any further. If Lu Chen didn't want to say it, Ji Ya would never force him, at least she wouldn't force Lu Chen in an obvious way.

"For ordinary grade Body Refining Pill, our purchase price is 180 gold coins per bottle. For excellent grade Body Refining Pill, the purchase price is 500 gold coins per bottle. Therefore, the purchase price should be 720 gold coins plus 3,500 gold coins, a total of 4,220 gold coins If Mr. Lu confirms the deal, Treasure Gathering Pavilion can give you 4300 gold coins." Ji Ya said quickly.

Lu Chen tried to calm down, but he couldn't hide his joy to some extent after he heard the numbers. Even though he had already estimated the value of these pill.

More than 4,000 gold coins, this money-making speed is beyond his imagination.

"I confirm the sale." Lu Chen tried to say in an indifferent manner.

Immediately, Ji Ya put 4,300 gold coins into a package and gave it to Lu Chen.

"Miss Ji, I think it's time to say goodbye," Lu Chen said to Ji Ya respectfully.

"Master Lu, if you have any more pill to sell in the future, you can see me in person. This is the VIP card of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. You can go up to the third floor freely from now on." Then Ji Ya took out another milky white card for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen glanced at it, then picked it up and said,

"Thank you, Miss Ji!"

The third floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion is inaccessible to ordinary people. There is a guard guarding the stairs at all times. With this VIP card, Lu Chen could freely enter and exit the third floor.

Of course, Ji Ya wasn't doing it for Lu Chen's sake, but for the sake of the people behind him.

After bidding farewell to Ji Ya, Lu Chen returned to the first floor of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. He had a total of 4,800 gold coins.

Lu Chen didn't spend all these gold coins to

purchased materials to refine the Body Refinement Pill. He only bought twenty packs of materials, which cost around 1,800 gold coins. And he still had 3,000 gold coins left. Lu Chen intended to keep this gold coin. As his cultivation increased, there would still be many places where these gold coins would be needed in the future.

Back at his own pavilion in the Lu family residence, Lu Chen continued to refine Body Refining Pills.

It only took him a few days to refine twenty packs of ingredients and he successfully refined the Body Refining Pill.

Among those twenty bottles of Body Refining Pill, three were of Perfect Grade, and the rest of the pills are of excellent grade.

After that, Lu Chen took a bath and put on clean clothes and begin to adjust to break through to the Body Refining Realm.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lu Chen closed his eyes slightly. Instead of taking the Body Refining Pill of perfect grade right away, he continued to practice the Qiankun Cultivation Method and circulate the profound energy in his body rapidly again and again.

The activity lasted for nearly twenty hours!

"It is time!"

Lu Chen's brow twitched slightly, then he opened a bottle of Perfect Grade Body Refining Pill immediately and downed it.

The moment the pill entered his stomach, it instantly turned into pure internal energy, making Lu Chen's whole body hot. On the other hand, Lu Chen carefully controlled his five attribute profound strength,

combine it with the internal energy transformed by the Body Refining Pill. Then he directed that profound energy to affect all the martial arts meridians throughout his body.

Before that, the main martial arts meridians in Lu Chen's body has been opened, but there are still some minor martial arts meridians that are not so easy to penetrate. However, if you wish to step into the Body Refining Realm, you must pass through all one hundred and eight martial arts meridians.

During this stage, time passed so quickly that Lu Chen could barely feel the passage of time. His mind was completely focused. That realm breakthrough was more dangerous and difficult than pill refining. If the pill refinement failed, he would only waste manpower and materials at most. However, if the breakthrough of this realm failed, the damage to the body would not be counted. As a result of that failure, it would be impossible for him to attempt a breakthrough in at least two years, so Lu Chen didn't dare to be careless.

One day later.

"There are still eight meridians that haven't opened yet."

"The remaining one hundred martial arts meridians all flowing freely."

"The effect of the pill will wear off soon. I have to take a new one."

"Yes, I must continue!"

For martial arts meridians, the closer it is to the end, the more difficult it is. However, once the sea of ​​consciousness opened up, his vigor became incomparably overflowing. And his ability to manipulate profound energy is so complicated that no other cultivator could surpass it.

One hundred and One!

One hundred two!

One hundred and five!

The rest of the meridians were constantly being opened. And each time, it takes more time to open than before. "The last martial arts meridian!"

"I did it! my last Martial arts meridians is also completely opened!"

There was a continuous soft sound coming from Lu Chen's body, and it lasted for a hundred and eight times.
