36: Chapter 36 The Precious Body of the Shen Family

Seeing the Saint remnant soul's spirit body becoming increasingly illusory, Shen Qingyuan finally spoke.

"That's enough, Third Uncle, stop hitting him."

Shen Yuanshan's fist stopped abruptly in mid-air. He turned his head to look at Shen Qingyuan, still seemingly unsatisfied: "Little Nine, if I hit him two more times, this old thing will fall apart completely."

Shen Qingyuan waved his hand: "If you beat him to death, who will compensate for Shen Chong's losses?"

Shen Yuanshan was stunned, then his eyes lit up: "Little Nine, do you mean..."

Shen Qingyuan ignored him, his gaze falling upon Shen Chong as his Spirit Eye Divine Pupil quietly activated.

"Your talent is not bad."

"Little Nine, what did you see?" Shen Yuanshan hurriedly leaned in, his face full of anticipation.

Shen Qingyuan nodded and said indifferently: "He possesses a Treasure Body."

"What?!"

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe exclaimed in unison, their eyes wide open.

A Treasure Body!

They were naturally no strangers to the Treasure Body.

Those who possess a Treasure Body are born with an affinity for the Dao, finding twice the result with half the effort when practicing any Cultivation Technique, and facing no obstacles when making a Breakthrough in their Realm.

That brat from the Wang Family possesses the Crimson Sun Precious Body; his cultivation talent is extremely strong, his combat power is unparalleled, and he is invincible within the same Realm.

When they first learned that the Wang Family possessed a Treasure Body, they had envied it for a long time.

Shen Chong was completely stunned.

A Treasure Body?

He was actually a Treasure Body?

Shen Qingyuan glanced at the Saint remnant soul on the ground, which had been beaten to the brink of death, and said indifferently: "This remnant soul was hiding in Shen Chong's Dantian, constantly devouring his Spiritual Qi and suppressing his Physique, which is why no one could tell."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanshan's anger flared. He grabbed the Saint remnant soul and smashed his fist down again.

"How dare you suppress the Saint Physique of my Shen Family!"

"Bang!"

"How dare you devour the Spiritual Qi of my Shen Family's Genius!"

"Bang!"

The old man's spirit body was already so thin it was almost transparent, his originally illusory figure swaying unsteadily, as if a gust of wind could scatter it.

"That's enough, Third Uncle." Shen Qingyuan finally spoke, his tone still lazy, "If you hit him again, he'll really fall apart."

Shen Yuanshan then stopped and threw the extremely weak remnant soul onto the ground.

Shen Qingyuan glanced at him and simply waved his hand.

An invisible force picked up the remnant soul and drew it into his palm.

He closed his five fingers and squeezed gently.

"Hum—"

A deep blue light bloomed in his palm; the remnant soul struggled frantically, emitting a shrill scream.

"No—"

Before the voice could finish, the light suddenly receded.

Shen Qingyuan opened his palm, and a bead the size of a Dragon eye appeared in it.

The bead was deep blue all over, and inside, a faint, illusory figure could be seen slowly moving—it was the Saint remnant soul, now sealed within.

Shen Qingyuan tossed the bead into the Demon Swallowing Well in the corner, then turned his head to look at Shen Chong.

"Azure Wood Precious Body. A wood-attribute Physique. You will find twice the result with half the effort when practicing wood-attribute Cultivation Techniques. Your Spiritual Qi will inherently carry vitality, and your recovery ability is extremely strong. If you Cultivate to a profound level, you can even urge all things to grow; with a single thought, dead wood can bloom in spring."

Although it is not as adept at offense as Wang Teng's Crimson Sun Precious Body, in terms of endurance battles and support, the Azure Wood Precious Body is even superior.

Most importantly, a Cultivator possessing the Azure Wood Precious Body has a much longer Lifespan than Cultivators of the same Realm!

He took out a Medicinal Pill and handed it to Shen Chong.

The Medicinal Pill was about the size of a Dragon eye, emerald green in color, with a lustrous sheen flowing across its surface, emitting an aura of fresh vitality.

The aura was so rich it almost condensed into a solid form; as soon as it appeared, the Spiritual Qi of the entire Wutong Garden seemed to be drawn in, converging toward the Medicinal Pill!

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe widened their eyes in unison!

"This... this is..."

Shen Yuanhe's pupils contracted sharply, his voice trembling, "An eighth-grade Spirit Pill?!"

Shen Yuanshan gasped, his eyes wide as copper bells.

An eighth-grade Spirit Pill!

That is a top-tier Medicinal Pill used by Cultivators of the Primal Chaos Realm and Asking Dao Realm!

In the entire Southern Region, it is an extremely rare existence!

Even in their Shen Family's treasury, there are only a few.

However, remembering the Medicinal Pills Shen Qingyuan had given them some time ago, they were not as shocked.

The batch of Medicinal Pills Shen Qingyuan had given them back then included quite a few eighth and ninth-grade Spirit Pills.

Shen Qingyuan ignored the two and just looked at Shen Chong, saying: "The Azure Profound Creation Pill can repair Meridians, reshape the Dantian, and replenish Spiritual Qi."

"Swallow this Medicinal Pill, sit cross-legged, and use the Spiritual Qi in this courtyard to restore your cultivation."

Shen Chong was completely dumbfounded.

Although his cultivation was not high, he had naturally heard of the reputation of eighth-grade Spirit Pills.

That was a legendary item!

There were not even a few in the entire Guangnan City!

And now... the Ninth Elder just gave it to him casually?!

"Thank you, Ninth Elder..." Shen Chong's lips quivered, his voice trembling.

He took the Azure Profound Creation Pill with trembling hands.

The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it touched his mouth, turning into a warm liquid that flowed down his throat into his abdomen.

The next moment—

Boom!

An unimaginably vast amount of Spiritual Qi exploded within his body!

The Spiritual Qi was as vast as the sea and as gentle as water, flowing frantically along his Meridians. Wherever it passed, those Meridians that had dried up and withered due to long-term lack of Spiritual Qi were like a long-awaited rain in a drought, absorbing the medicinal power frantically and recovering rapidly!

Shen Chong let out a muffled groan. Not daring to delay, he hurriedly sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and frantically operated his Cultivation Technique.

The dense Spiritual Qi in Wutong Garden, as if summoned, swarmed toward him!

Spiritual Qi surged into his body through his pores, his breath, and every acupuncture point on his body, merging with the medicinal power of the pill to form torrents of Spiritual Qi within him!

His Dantian—

That Dantian which had been dry for over a year—

Was now filling up at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Spiritual Qi surged into the Dantian like a tide, gathering, compressing, and solidifying within it!

Shen Chong's cultivation began to climb frantically!

Second Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm...

Fifth Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm...

Eighth Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm...

Peak of the Qi Condensation Realm—

Breakthrough!

First Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm!

Second Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm!

Fifth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm!

Eighth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm!

Ninth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm!

In just a short moment, Shen Chong's cultivation had climbed all the way from the Second Layer of the Qi Condensation Realm to the Ninth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm!

And—

It was still rising!

That momentum seemed as if it would break through the Bottleneck of the Meridian Opening Realm in one go and step directly into the Soul Fire Realm!

A sixteen-year-old in the Soul Fire Realm!

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Yuanhe watched this scene, their faces full of joy.

The eighth-grade Spirit Pill was indeed powerful!

However—

Just as Shen Chong's cultivation was about to break through the Peak of the Meridian Opening Realm and step into the Soul Fire Realm—

Shen Qingyuan raised a finger.

An invisible force shot out from his fingertip and landed precisely on Shen Chong.

The vast Spiritual Qi that was about to break through the Bottleneck was like being pressed down by an invisible giant hand, instantly calming down.

Shen Chong shuddered, opened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion.

"Ninth Elder?"

Shen Qingyuan withdrew his hand and said indifferently: "In the path of cultivation, haste makes waste. Your cultivation had fallen for over a year, and your body and Meridians need time to adapt. If you rush too high in one breath, your Foundation will be unstable, which will instead be detrimental."

He paused and continued: "I have sealed the remaining medicinal power within your body. Over the next three months, it will slowly release, nourishing your Meridians and Dantian. You only need to Cultivate normally, and after three months, you will naturally be able to break through to the Soul Fire Realm."

Shen Chong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned red, and he kowtowed heavily.

"Thank you, Ninth Elder! Thank you, Ninth Elder!"

His voice was choked with sobs, and tears could not help but fall.

The Ninth Elder not only helped him root out the remnant soul within his body but also gave him an eighth-grade Spirit Pill to help him restore his cultivation, and had even considered his subsequent cultivation thoroughly...

This kindness was too great!

Shen Qingyuan waved his hand and lay back lazily on the soft couch: "Alright, go back and Cultivate well. Don't let down this Treasure Body of yours."

Shen Chong nodded heavily, stood up, wiped away his tears, took a deep breath, and the light reignited in his eyes.

Shen Yuanshan stepped forward, patted Shen Chong's shoulder, his face full of gratification: "Good child, go back and Cultivate well. If you need anything, just tell the Family."

Shen Yuanhe also nodded, his eyes full of approval.

Both of them knew clearly that the Shen Family's Genius had returned!

Azure Wood Precious Body!

As long as he is nurtured well, he will definitely become a pillar of the Shen Family in the future!

Shen Chong bowed to the three of them again and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

Watching Shen Chong leave, Shen Yuanshan turned and leaned toward Shen Qingyuan, rubbing his hands, his face full of smiles, "Little Nine, that Medicinal Pill..."
