388: Chapter 388 A Frenzied Breakthrough!!!

A layer of dark red blood qi, so dense it almost materialized, surged out of his body, with a faint five-colored radiance flickering within it.

The explosion of blood qi came violently and left just as quickly.

A moment later, all the phenomena subsided, and the blood qi was drawn back inward.

The aura surrounding Qin Yan became increasingly condensed and heavy, like an unfathomable deep pool.

Qin Yan slowly opened his eyes, the divine light within his pupils more profound than before.

He lightly clenched his fists, his knuckles making a crisp cracking sound.

Without needing to consciously sense it, a solid and clearly discernible feeling of power growth transmitted from the deepest parts of his body.

He impatiently summoned his status panel.

"Just one instance of taking five pills at once and half a quarter-hour of refinement..."

Qin Yan looked at the Qi Refining realm that had already changed to 'Fourth Rank Mid-Stage' and the total blood qi that had skyrocketed to 1,500 Cal.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shock and wild joy!

"With sufficient resources to support it, this cultivation speed... is truly exhilarating, advancing by leaps and bounds!"

He couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

One must know that for an ordinary Fourth Rank Martial Artist, without a stroke of luck, breaking through from the early stage to the mid-stage often requires several months or even longer of painstaking accumulation.

Yet he, relying on his solid foundation, powerful cultivation technique, and massive amount of medicinal pill resources...

Actually managed to break through another stage and step into the mid-stage within a single day of reaching the Fourth Rank!

"In terms of basic blood qi alone, I am already comparable to those martial artists who cultivate ordinary Earth-Fiend level techniques and have just stepped into the Fourth Rank Peak!"

Generally speaking, a Fourth Rank Martial Artist practicing the most common 'Earth-Fiend · Ordinary Level' techniques...

Even if they cultivate to the Fourth Rank Peak, their basic blood qi would only be around 1,600 Cal.

Such martial artists often have limited potential; without special opportunities or switching to a stronger technique, it would be difficult for them to break through the Fifth Rank barrier in their lifetime.

After the excitement passed, Qin Yan's gaze fell back onto the remaining medicinal pills.

In the five jade bottles, nine spirit pills remained in each, totaling forty-five pills.

"An ordinary Fourth Rank Martial Artist might need an entire day or even longer to slowly absorb and transform a single High Grade spirit pill.

And they often need to wait several days for their body to fully adapt and their meridians to recover before they can continue taking the next one.

This is to prevent the medicinal power from accumulating or damaging their foundation."

"But I am different!"

Confidence gleamed in Qin Yan's eyes. "The Five Elements Meridians modified by the 'Five Elements Primordial Scripture' have an extremely strong ability to channel, purify, and carry spiritual energy of the same attributes.

Even though the medicinal power of taking five pills at once is fierce, it becomes gentle and controllable under the refinement of the Five Elements Spiritual Meridians and the cultivation technique.

It can be fully absorbed in half a quarter-hour and will hardly cause any burden on the meridians."

This meant that as long as he had enough resources, he could continuously consume medicinal pills for cultivation like eating and drinking!

No need for long intervals of waiting!

This was the all-around advantage brought by a peerless cultivation technique with a high-reaching vision and a solid foundation!

It wasn't just the potential to fight above his level in combat, but it was also reflected in cultivation efficiency, resource utilization, and physical endurance in every aspect.

Leaving martial artists of the same rank far behind.

Qin Yan no longer hesitated and took out five pills from each jade bottle again.

The five-colored spirit pills entered his mouth, the familiar torrent of spiritual energy reappeared, and the cultivation technique operated accordingly...

Inside the training room, time seemed to lose its meaning.

Qin Yan entered a strange cycle: consuming pills → full refinement for half an hour → a brief period of breath adjustment to feel the progress → consuming pills again.

At the end of each cycle, he could clearly feel the five elements seeds within his five organs grow a bit stronger.

The Five Elements True Qi flowing out was even more pure and thick, and its fusion with his blood qi became deeper.

His aura, like climbing a staircase, ascended steadily and rapidly.

When the fifth cycle ended, which was after taking the twenty-fifth five elements spirit pill—

"Boom!"

A muffled yet heavy roar sounded from within his body.

A sense of power even more majestic than when he broke through to the mid-stage swept through his entire body!

Qin Yan knew that the Fourth Rank Late-stage had arrived!

However, the cultivation did not stop.

He glanced at the remaining pills—five of each kind left, totaling twenty-five.

"Continue!"

Qin Yan pressed on, throwing himself once more into the refinement of the medicinal pills.

The remaining twenty-five pills were refined and absorbed one by one at the same rhythm over the subsequent period of time.

When the last wisp of medicinal spiritual energy was completely devoured by the five elements seeds, Qin Yan slowly exhaled a long breath.

"As expected, I still couldn't break through to the Fourth Rank Peak in one go."

Qin Yan sighed softly; although it was within his expectations, he still felt a bit of regret.

From the Fourth Rank Late-stage to the Peak, the required energy accumulation far exceeded the previous minor realms.

The remaining twenty-five pills were clearly insufficient to fill this 'deep pit.'

Thinking of this, Qin Yan opened his smart bracelet and spent another 1,000 academic credits to exchange for 10 more of each five elements spirit pill.

Soon, a package delivered by a smart robot arrived at his manor.

Upon receiving it, Qin Yan immediately returned to the training room and began a new round of 'medicinal pill bombardment.'

"Resources are in place, continue the breakthrough!"

He grabbed a handful of pills—one each of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—and without hesitation, sent them into his mouth just as before.

The familiar torrent of Five Elements spiritual energy exploded within his body again, and the already familiar 'Five Elements Primordial Scripture' responded quickly, methodically diverting, guiding, and refining it.

Half a quarter-hour later, the medicinal power was fully absorbed, and the five elements seeds grew a bit stronger again.

After a brief breath adjustment and feeling no pressure on his meridians, Qin Yan took the pills, consumed them, and refined them once more...

Inside the training room, time seemed to transform into the rhythm of pill fragrance and spiritual energy flow.

Qin Yan entered a state of self-forgetfulness, his eyes only on those five five elements seeds that were slowly rotating and constantly breathing out light.

There was only one thought in his heart—absorb, grow, break through!
