Chapter 49 Refining the Marrow!

Su Xing nodded slightly at this.

Previously, there was an instance where he offered up spiritual rice but ended up dying due to torture by an old protector.

During that simulation, his actions were subtle, and that sect's protector seemed to be a radical member, hence the outcome.

However, this Shadow Protector seemed a bit more normal. As long as he acted cautiously and firmly grasped the alchemy technique in his own hands, there wouldn't be any problems.

Thinking so, Su Xing continued the simulation.

[The Shadow Protector was greatly pleased and had his subordinates bring over more than a hundred medicinal herbs, instructing you to refine Healing Pills.]

[You spent three days refining a hundred Healing Pills. Secretly, you withheld fifty pills and ninety medicinal herbs, only offering up fifty Healing Pills.]

[Upon hearing of your successful refinement, the Shadow Protector personally came to learn from you. He had his subordinates try your Healing Pills and discovered they had a good healing effect on master-level professionals.]

[The Shadow Protector was very satisfied with your performance. He informed you that as long as you worked diligently, within three years, you would inevitably become a new generation elder.]

Su Xing's expression turned somewhat peculiar upon seeing this.

Wow, with a hundred medicinal herbs, it's enough to refine a thousand Healing Pills, but he only handed over 50, meaning he embezzled ninety-five percent of the herbs.

"Darn it, seems like the 'me' in the simulator is a bit scheming…"

Su Xing rubbed his chin, a slight smirk forming at the corner of his mouth.

But ironically, besides him, no one in the Arrival Sect understood alchemy. As long as he submitted pills on time, he wouldn't be discovered.

[After another month, you provided a hundred Healing Pills to the Arrival Sect and indicated your ability to refine a type of pill called the Marrow Refining Pill, capable of enhancing professionals' strength.]

[Upon hearing this, the Shadow Protector was delighted. Immediately, he had his subordinates bring over a hundred Yellow Fairy Essences and instructed you to provide a hundred Marrow Refining Pills.]

[A hundred Yellow Fairy Essences would completely suffice to refine over a thousand Marrow Refining Pills. You spent a month refining a thousand pills, only submitting the inferior ones. Subsequently, you began seclusion.]

[Within the Spiritual Field Paradise, you selected a few Marrow Refining Pills with weaker effects but excellent quality. You aimed to break through the Marrow Refining realm.]

[Your body refinement cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Bone Forging Realm a year ago. Over this year, you felt your physique becoming more robust than ever before. You had a premonition that this time, you could successfully break through the Marrow Refining realm.]

[You spent three days adjusting your body to its optimal state. In the most vibrant morning, you consumed a Marrow Refining Pill.]

[The main ingredient in this Marrow Refining Pill was less than three years old. You originally had over seventy percent certainty this time would result in a breakthrough.]

[But after ingesting the Marrow Refining Pill, you realized you underestimated its effects.]

[A warm current surged through your body. You felt your body temperature rising, your skin gradually reddening, your breath quickening, and a vague sense of pain emanating from within.]

[The pain intensified; you felt as if your organs were about to be torn apart, a tearing sensation from the depths of your soul.]

[The endless pain within you kept escalating, beads of sweat the size of beans forming on your forehead. This pain wasn't dissipating in a short time; it was persistent.]

[On the first day of consuming the Marrow Refining Pill, the indescribable pain in your internal organs was unbearable, but with unyielding perseverance, you endured it.]

[On the second day after consuming the pill, the internal pain gradually subsided. You felt your physique was unexpectedly growing stronger, your strength seemingly increased by about thirty percent.]

[But you remained seated in meditation, not daring to move, as any motion would bring excruciating pain to your internal organs.]

[Gritting your teeth, you endured, three days passed like this.]

[By the sixth day, you could move freely. Upon introspection, you found a faint golden light enveloping your internal organs. You sensed your viscera had become much tougher than before but still hadn't broken through to the Marrow Refining realm.]

[On the seventh day, you exited seclusion. Although you hadn't broken through to the Marrow Refining realm, you felt a tremendous enhancement in your body's quality, particularly the toughness of your internal organs.]

[You returned to the Arrival Sect, spending several days refining the pills needed for the next month in advance. Then, you returned to seclusion within the Spiritual Field Paradise.]

[You spent a week readjusting your body to its peak state. With the experience from last time, you believed you could digest another Marrow Refining Pill.]

[You swallowed another Marrow Refining Pill; it turned into a warm current, nourishing your internal organs.]

[The pain arrived as expected, but perhaps due to your stronger physique or increased tolerance for pain, this time the pain seemed only half as much as before.]

[Sitting cross-legged, you maintained steady breathing, using it to resist the pain in your internal organs.]

[Another week passed, and you were surprised to find the golden light within your internal organs shining even brighter, seemingly reaching a critical point. Once it broke through, you would reach the Marrow Refining realm!]

[The side effects from taking the Marrow Refining Pill this time weren't as severe. Therefore, you only spent three days recuperating, and your body's functions returned to their peak.]

[You consumed the Marrow Refining Pill for the third time. You had a premonition that the Marrow Refining realm was within reach.]

[Contrary to the imagined pain, you only felt your breath becoming lighter. This comfortable feeling compared to the previous pain nearly sent you soaring into the sky.]

[You sat with closed eyes, concentrating on observing the changes in your internal organs.]

[Your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, the blood and fleshly organs within your body, seemed to have their own life. You felt they were breathing freely, emanating joy.]

[The golden light within your internal organs grew stronger until it reached a critical point, then it returned to plainness.]

[But when you opened your eyes again, everything felt different!]

[Your heart's vitality increased, allowing you to endure longer battles. Your lungs toughened, enabling you to breathe freely underwater. Even your liver became strong enough to resist some toxins…]

[You felt an unprecedented vitality coursing through your body, your strength instantly multiplied several times!]

[You successfully broke through to the Marrow Refining realm!]
