10: Chapter 010 AFK Winning at the Extreme of Body Tempering, Versailles Show-off

After digesting the insights, Li Siwen (Li Shiwen) gained a completely new and profound understanding of the “Body Tempering Extreme Realm.”

Following the immense surprise came a heavy sense of pressure and an incredibly firm determination.

“One must walk step by step, and eat bite by bite! The current goal is to first complete the Body Tempering Extreme Realm!”

He took out two crucial items: the body tempering extreme realm pill and the medicinal power guidance talisman!

“Come on, let me experience the thrill of AFK Cultivation through the System!”

He effortlessly patted the medicinal power guidance talisman onto his chest.

The spiritual talisman merged into his body, instantly transforming into an incredibly precise, cool, and comfortable energy network that covered his entire being.

Then, like eating a piece of candy, he tossed the body tempering extreme realm pill—which was enough to make an ordinary Cultivator explode—into his mouth.

Boom!!

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entry, and a vast, ocean-like surge of pure energy instantly erupted!

At the same time, the medicinal power guidance talisman was activated, and that invisible energy network precisely captured every trace of the rampant medicinal power.

The torrent of energy within his body, enough to overturn his Dantian, was easily smoothed out and guided by the power of the spiritual talisman like a docile stream, injected precisely into the perfect operational route leading to the Body Tempering Extreme Realm, as described in the «Eight Extremes Great Emperors Insights».

The System did not disappoint him. Under the effect of the medicinal power guidance talisman, Li Siwen didn't have to do anything himself. He watched it all like an observer, yet he had clear control over the changes in his body and the flow of energy.

At this moment, profound changes were taking place within his body!

Under the rush of energy, every cell in his body cheered, undergoing an ultimate and perfect transformation.

His muscles became firmer and more powerful, his blood surged like a river, and even his Meridians, bones, and internal organs were strengthened to a certain extent.

The seemingly complex network was remarkably orderly.

Li Siwen merely recalled the description of the Body Tempering Extreme Realm in the «Eight Extremes Great Emperors Insights», and the medicinal power guidance talisman naturally helped him complete the entire process.

So, while observing this artistic energy circulation and physical evolution through his inner vision, he calmly commented:

“Oh, this operation is full of intricate details! Although I didn't personally perform it, I've gained a lot of insight.”

“Tsk tsk, these flesh and blood cells, this body, it's tempered like a work of art. Maybe my attractiveness score will even increase!”

“Not bad, not bad. This guidance talisman from the System really has some substance; it's even steadier than an old driver. System, give me more good stuff like this in the future, don't hide it, it's all for me anyway!”

[Ding! Resentment from the System +100]

Eh? The System can also give emotion points? Li Siwen felt like he had discovered a new world!

Unfortunately, no matter how he teased the System afterward, it remained silent as if dead.

Since he was currently undergoing the Cultivation of the Body Tempering Extreme Realm, Li Siwen didn't dare to play too much and quickly refocused his mind.

Inside the small courtyard, a low humming sound faintly emanated from the wooden house.

It was as if a powerful bow was being drawn to its fullest, or heavy lead and mercury were flowing rapidly through a pipe!

This was the sound of extremely vigorous vital Qi and Internal Energy spontaneously generating and surging to a certain degree, causing the air to vibrate!

Outside the small courtyard, Yu Qing, not far from here, seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head, looking towards the courtyard with shock in his eyes.

“This... what is this commotion? Vital Qi like lead and mercury, flowing like thunder? Is this... is this really the phenomenon that can occur in the Body Tempering Realm?! Junior Sister Li... what Cultivation Technique is she practicing?!”

Further away, some perceptive Disciples also stopped, listening intently.

“Huh? What's that sound from inside the house? It sounds like something is vibrating?”

“It doesn't sound like Origin Qi fluctuations... it sounds like, like the commotion when a Body Cultivator reaches Major Achievement in Body Tempering? But this momentum is too terrifying!”

Inside the house, Li Siwen felt the quiet yet astonishing transformation within his body reach its culmination.

Crack!

A clear sound, seemingly from the depths of his bone marrow, rang out naturally.

That invisible barrier, representing the true Perfection and extremity of Body Tempering, burst open!

A majestic Internal Energy, several times more powerful than that of an ordinary Pulse Forging Cultivator, awakened like a sleeping Dragon, born from his Dantian, instantly flowing throughout his body, perfectly harmonious and completely at his command!

He lightly clenched his fist, and a faint pop echoed in the air! A pure sense of power filled his entire body!

“Tsk, AFK Cultivation is truly easy and pleasant. The Body Tempering Extreme Realm, just like that?”

He even leisurely stretched, his bones emitting a series of crisp, pleasant crackling sounds, as if playing a symphony of Breakthrough.

However, before he could fully savor this powerful strength, he heard a commotion of footsteps and discussions from outside the courtyard.

The low rumble just now had attracted a lot of attention.

“Which Senior Brother or Senior Sister is inside? Could you please show yourself?” Someone asked loudly, their tone full of curiosity.

[Ding! Curiosity from Onlooker Disciple A +10]

[Ding! Surprise from Onlooker Disciple B +12]

[Ding! Worry from Yu Qing +20]

emotion points started coming in again!

Feeling the powerful strength within him and glancing at the curious crowd outside the window, Li Siwen's lips curved slightly.

They came just in time, because the ten-pull had used up all his emotion points, and this was a good way to replenish them!

He took out a compact mirror to quickly tidy up his makeup, then hung the red phoenix star-movement sachet on his waist before unhurriedly pushing open the wooden door and stepping out.

Sunlight poured onto “her,” and her skirt flowed with a faint radiance.

“Li Shiwen” swept her gaze, seeing seven or eight Disciples gathered outside the door, including Yu Qing.

Her appearance caused the previously noisy scene to fall silent for a moment.

Her overall attractiveness score, which had risen to 94 after Cultivation, left everyone momentarily dazed, making them forget to speak.

[Stunned admiration from Onlooker Disciple A +18]

[Lost in thought from Onlooker Disciple B +15]

[Relief from Yu Qing +10, Stunned admiration +25]

Li Siwen feigned confusion and asked, “Senior Brothers, is there something you need, gathering outside my humble abode?”

One Disciple recovered, suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, and quickly said, “Junior Sister, we just heard a significant commotion from your house, like the roar of vital Qi and blood. We were worried something might have happened, so we came to check. Is Junior Sister alright?”

“Commotion?” Li Siwen looked puzzled, pondered for a moment, then suddenly said “Oh.”

He raised his hand, and a wisp of solid white light swirled around his fingertip—this was the Internal Energy that could only be born from Pulse Forging!

The Internal Energy of an ordinary Early Stage of Pulse Forging Cultivator was merely 'a faint glimmer,' but the white light at his fingertip was like 'condensed silk'.

The Internal Energy was released, rubbing against the air, emitting a faint hum.

“Are Senior Brothers referring to this?”

Li Siwen said with an air of nonchalance, “Just now, I had an unexpected realization. My luck was good, and I naturally broke through to the Early Stage of Pulse Forging!”

“Perhaps because it's a recent Breakthrough, my control over my strength is still a bit unpracticed, which disturbed you all, Senior Brothers. I apologize and beg your forgiveness!”

His words were polite, and he seemed to be sincerely apologizing, yet they carried an undisguised Versailles-like implication.

That wisp of Internal Energy at his fingertip, far more solid than that of other Early Stage of Pulse Forging Cultivators, silently proved his talent and strength.

Everyone: “!!!”
