Chapter 53: Still a Little Bit More
Even the modified version of the body-refining potion was developed for spirit controllers with a mental power level of A or above. This is because, generally speaking, there is no bottleneck in the upgrade of spirit controllers below level B. Even if there is a bottleneck, it is a problem of mental power itself, not a problem of physique. Only when it reaches level A or above, it is possible that the mental power level cannot be upgraded due to insufficient physical strength!
Ning Xuan only put in three bottles of body-refining potion the first time. She knew that because of practicing the "Spirit Induction Sutra", her current physical strength far exceeded her mental strength level, so she added a little more on top of the regular dosage.
Ning Xuan soaked in the hot spring that was blended with body-refining potions. She felt abundant energy rushing through her pores and skin to seep into her body. The impact of the energy made her feel a dense tingling sensation. Then, the tingling sensation gradually expanded and deepened, and even became continuous. Her skin swelled as if it was being torn apart. Ning Xuan practiced the "Spirit Induction Sutra" to diffuse the special energy in her meridians and acupoints to the surrounding area. The energy penetrated into the tiny meridians on the surface of the body and merged with the energy in the potion. Soon, the bloating and pain disappeared, and was replaced by a sharp tearing sensation. The feeling of blood vessels, muscles, and meridians in the body being torn apart was even more unbearable than the tingling sensation!
The first things to break are the muscle fibers. After they are broken, they are quickly repaired by dense energy. The newly grown muscle fibers are tighter, tougher and stronger. This tearing sensation reminds Ning Xuan of the feeling of breaking and then rebuilding she had experienced during her previous cultivation. It seems that even if the cultivation systems are different, the results are the same!
Unfortunately, the tearing sensation gradually disappeared. It was not because there was a problem with the practice, but because there was not enough energy in the hot spring!
Ning Xuan looked at the time. Just four hours had passed since the start. She poured the remaining seven bottles of potion into the hot spring and watched as the potion dissolved into the water, emitting even stronger energy fluctuations. The energy halo changed into the shapes of various medicinal herbs such as ice pythons, lotus flowers, mist flowers, etc. It was colorful and varied!
Ning Xuan stepped into the hot spring pool again. As soon as she entered the water, the part of her body that came into contact with the water flow was hit by a powerful energy shock, which was several times stronger than the last time. Fortunately, Ning Xuan was mentally prepared. She gritted her teeth and sat into the medicine. The sharp pain hit her instantly, reaching her periosteum and striking her soul. Ning Xuan couldn't help but let out a low cry of pain, but then she felt that in a private space, it seemed unnecessary to endure it too much, so she simply hummed. Chen Nan heard the noise coming from inside and became worried. He shouted twice but got no response, so he simply pushed the door and entered the bathroom!
Ning Xuan put all her mind into fighting against the energy. The dense drug energy rushed into her body and activated the ice energy ball temporarily stored in her dantian. Ning Xuan practiced her skills, guiding the over-concentrated energy in her body to be evenly distributed, and compressing the scattered ice energy again. She struggled to maintain the balance, but she didn't expect that at this moment, a strong fire energy burst out from her blood. In an instant, her blood boiled and her heart was thundering. Chen Nan seemed to hear the sound of thunder in Ning Xuan's body. A fiery red shadow was looming behind Ning Xuan, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the whole room!
The superpower body in Chen Nan trembled under this pressure, and Ning Xuan's spiritual power filled the room. When Chen Nan came to his senses, he was already prostrating on the ground. In the past, when he felt Ning Xuan's spiritual power, although Chen Nan wanted to get close to her and submit to her, it was not like now. It was not just submission, but worship. He felt deeply humble and insignificant, and worshiped from the bottom of his heart!
Ever since the fire energy in Ning Xuan's body exploded, she has been unable to control the other two energies. She carefully tempered and guided the fire energy, evenly distributing it to the meridians in her body. The meridians, muscles, and even bones, which had become tougher under the impact of the body-refining drugs, were now further tempered by the fire energy. Ning Xuan endured the pain of tempering her body and tried to gather together the more condensed parts of the erupting fire energy. After several hours of effort, the energies finally took on a vague shape. Just when Ning Xuan was overjoyed, "bang", the energies collapsed and dispersed into the blood!
In the gurgling red blood, many tiny particles appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Ning Xuan felt the blood in her body return to calm. The ice energy ball under her dantian had been refined by the fire energy in the process. She opened her eyes and found that the medicine in the hot spring had been completely absorbed. The originally full pool of clear water had been completely evaporated in the process just now. She sat naked in the bathtub.
There is a layer of dirt on the bottom and walls of the pool. These should be the impurities discharged from the body during the body refining process!
If the pool water hadn’t been evaporated, it wouldn’t have smelled good!
Ning Xuan's body was still slightly stained with sweat and dirt. She turned around and saw Chen Nan, whose face was flushed. He stared at Ning Xuan with his big eyes wide open. Ning Xuan's facial features were originally bright and beautiful. She had been practicing diligently for the past few months, and she had grown a lot taller. Her muscle lines were also very beautiful. She was more beautiful than before and had a bit more strength. Today, her skin was warm and white. Compared with before, her skin was much more shiny. It seemed to be glowing. He saw the way she looked when he first met her. In just a few months, Ning Xuan seemed to have been reborn in front of him!
"I want to take a shower. Could you please bring me a bucket of hot water?" Ning Xuan saw Chen Nan in a daze and said to him very politely!
Chen Nan's face suddenly turned redder. It had been a long time since Ning Xuan spoke to him so gently. "Please wait a moment!"
Ning Xuan used ten bottles of body-refining potions to temper her body, but she didn't expect that fire energy would burst out again in the process, and she showed signs of awakening her superpowers, and it even seemed that she was almost awakening!
Ning Xuan felt that her body was light and full of strength, as if she had endless energy. She really wanted to go out and fight right now to test her skills!
She took a shower, put on her clothes, and went to the yard. There were five pillars in the corner of the yard. They were made of a whole piece of black rock and were heavy and hard. They were the training piles specially built by Chen Nan when he bought the house. There was a special mechanism underneath the training piles. As long as you hit them hard, you can detect the force the pillars can withstand!
Ning Xuan stood in front of the pillar and kicked lightly. After a moment, a number appeared on the pillar: five hundred. In the past, even when she kicked out with all her strength, the force was only 300 kilograms. Now, her strength was more than doubled. Moreover, her feet would go numb after kicking out 300 kilograms in the past. Today, after kicking out 500 kilograms, her feet did not feel any discomfort!
