There's Something Wrong With My Immortal Path

Chapter 27: Superior Spirit Root! Cleansing the Meridians and Marrow!

After putting down the Qi Refining Pill, He Niansheng left again.

After all, he was still the Elder Supreme of Qing Elixir Peak, and many things still relied on him.

Xia Ming respectfully accompanied him to the door, watching He Niansheng's departing figure with deep admiration.

My master has treated me well!

I need to quickly become stronger and not be a burden to my master.

With the imminent arrival of the savage beasts, time is of the essence.

With this thought in mind, Xia Ming immediately began cultivating.

He dropped a drop of Earth Core Nectar into the mountain spring water tank, and after some consideration, he also took a Qi Refining Pill into his mouth.

The Qi Refining Pill can accelerate the speed of a cultivator's Qi Refining...

But can I use the Qi Refining Pill in my current situation?

For a moment, Xia Ming was a bit puzzled.

But one thing he was absolutely certain of.

Practice brings true knowledge!

You won't know if it works until you try it, right?

Sitting cross-legged in the tank, Xia Ming swallowed the Qi Refining Pill directly.

At the moment the pill dissolved, a blue diode in Xia Ming's dantian suddenly emitted a bright light.

The brightness was more than twice as intense as before.

Even Xia Ming's dim lower dantian was illuminated by more than half.

As the brightness increased, the temperature of the diode also rose.

The speed of boiling water increased by more than twice!

Wow!

A high-powered water boiler!

Xia Ming didn't dare to waste time and immersed all his mental energy into cultivation.

Under the dim candlelight, faintly visible on the window sill, was the silhouette of a person meditating cross-legged.

Outside the secluded valley hut, He Niansheng stood solemnly in place, silent.

His icy gaze pierced through the mist, directly locking onto Xia Ming's reflection.

"My disciple Xia Ming is quite extraordinary. He has a superior intellect and hidden Spirit Root talent. Given time, he might really become the second Ancestral Inspiration!"

"But... so what! I am He Niansheng! What can a hidden Spirit Root do!"

"Dragons and phoenixes enter the alchemy furnace! Pave my path to immortality! I am willing to become an immortal! All beings can betray!"

"Anyone who blocks my path to immortality shall be killed without mercy!"

In the midst of his cold gaze, with his white hair flying, He Niansheng turned and left.

He Niansheng had left, but Xia Ming inside the grass hut was in high spirits.

Boiling water for Qi Refining, duplicating diodes, and enjoying it endlessly.

The feeling of becoming stronger was unexpectedly wonderful!

In this way, with the dual stimulation of Earth Core Nectar and Qi Refining Pills...

The number of diodes in Xia Ming's lower dantian reached a terrifying two hundred!

Two hundred diodes, arranged and rotating along a specific trajectory.

Finally, in a dazzling blue light...

A miracle was born.

In Xia Ming's lower dantian, an additional blue character appeared.

That character was called "sea," an immeasurable sea!

With a loud bang, centered on Xia Ming's lower dantian, a terrifying vibration gradually spread throughout his body.

That vibration penetrated every inch of flesh and blood, entering every pore with meticulous detail.

Under the intense vibration, every pore on Xia Ming's body expanded and contracted.

After a few breaths, he had become a clay warrior, covered in dirt.

Cleansing the meridians and marrow!

This was the process of cleansing the meridians and marrow!

Fortunately, Xia Ming was sitting in the tank, making it easier to clean up.

But it seems this tank can no longer be used.

It will be perfect for planting flowers next year.

One hour later.

Xia Ming tidied everything up and quietly lay on the bed.

Closing his eyes and gazing at the character "sea" in his dantian, a faint smile appeared on Xia Ming's lips.

He could feel that he had been completely renewed.

Because he was now a Superior Spirit Root.

- The vast sea.

The intuitive sensation was also very specific.

If we were to say that the previous Xia Ming was an 800-watt electric kettle, then he is now an 8,000-watt electric kettle.

Boiling water with a buzz!

A matter of minutes!

After obtaining the Superior Spirit Root, Xia Ming discovered another problem.

He could no longer freely replicate blue diodes. Could it be because of the rejection from the Spirit Root?

For a moment, Xia Ming was also somewhat puzzled.

If the blue diodes representing the Water Spirit Root cannot be replicated, does that mean other attribute diodes cannot be replicated either?

Xia Ming was not clear about this answer because he had only activated the blue diodes for now.

In the following days, Xia Ming did not think much about it and continued to refine his Qi while boiling water.

Xia Ming knew very well that one must not be too greedy and that the path must be taken step by step.

Steady and solid, that is the way of the king.

While Xia Ming was focused on his cultivation, the Great River Sect outside was far from calm.

Under the arrangements of the Great River cultivators, the people at the foot of the mountain began to evacuate.

One after another, formations were activated within the Great River Sect.

Every day, the sect received intelligence from the outpost disciples.

In the endless forests downstream of the Bai Cang River, a terrifying presence seemed to be approaching step by step.

One day, two days, three days... until fifteen days!

The terrifying atmosphere not only did not weaken but instead intensified, becoming as heavy as a mountain, covering the sky and making it difficult for everyone to breathe.

Even the menial disciples of the Great River Sect sensed that something was amiss. A great wind rises from a small dust, and the world seems to be changing.

In this tense moment, He Nian Sheng once again arrived at the Qing Dan secluded valley.

This was the place he cared about the most.

Xia Ming was his future.

When he saw Xia Ming in the grass hut, He Nian Sheng's face suddenly changed.

Qi Refining... Fifth level of Qi Refining!?

In just a few days, Xia Ming had reached the fifth level of Qi Refining?

At this moment, He Nian Sheng showed no signs of surprise, but a boundless anger ignited in his heart.

In just a few days, the fifth level of Qi Refining?

Did this kid swallow a gourd full of Qi Refining pills?

If I had come a little later, would I have to collect his corpse?

Damn it!

Although the Qi Refining pills can help cultivators improve their Qi Refining speed, eating too many of them can cause irreversible damage to the body.

Mild cases result in damaged meridians and loss of combat power, while severe cases lead to a rigid dantian, making it impossible to make any progress in a lifetime.

If this kid ruins his Hidden Spirit Body, then there will be real trouble!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, He Nian Sheng walked step by step towards Xia Ming.

Step by step, within the grass hut, frost condensed.

A Core Formation cultivator, so terrifying!

"Master?"

Feeling a chill down his spine, Xia Ming couldn't help but ask.

Amazed by Xia Ming's powerful cultivation, a different thought slowly rose in his heart.

He didn't understand why his master's eyes were filled with such coldness.

"Extend your hand."

The two sat facing each other, and He Nian Sheng closed his eyes to feel Xia Ming's pulse.

He wanted to see how much damage this Hidden Spirit Root had suffered.

But as his consciousness immersed deeper, He Nian Sheng sensed that something was wrong.

The next moment, He Nian Sheng's eyes suddenly opened, and his pupils instantly dilated to the extreme.

This... How is this possible!

Not only were the meridians and dantian undamaged, but they also appeared even more resilient!

And the spiritual energy within Xia Ming's body was also abnormal!

That spiritual energy was exceptionally dense and profound.

This kind of spiritual energy should not be possessed by a normal Spirit Communication Root.

Could it be... the Superior Spirit Root!

"Xia Ming, how many Qi Refining pills did you... eat?"

"Three pills a day, as instructed by Master."

Seeing the sudden change in He Nian Sheng's expression, Xia Ming somewhat guessed what was going on.

Could it be that the reason for his master's cold expression just now was because he thought I had eaten too many Qi Refining pills?

I knew it!

How could my master hide any other thoughts!
