256: Chapter 256 Cultivation

"If I didn't run, I'd be a fool! You rebellious brat, next time I see you, This Heir will definitely complain to your eldest sister and have her give you a good thrashing!"

Chen Shanzhi chuckled, leaping over the shadow wall of the Murong Manor with a rather dashing movement technique.

Without looking back, he followed the main gate of the Murong Manor and slipped away in a flash.

Murong Yun chased him all the way to the main entrance.

Watching Chen Shanzhi's relaxed and somewhat smug figure disappear rapidly around the street corner, he finally stopped, panting slightly.

"Huff... huff..."

Murong Yun leaned on the broom with both hands and spat on the ground in annoyance.

"That bastard, taking advantage of This Young Master like that."

Although he was cursing under his breath.

A moment later.

Murong Yun's somewhat vacant eyes fell upon the warm, smooth Waist Token on his wrist.

With a flip of his palm, the white jade bottle appeared in his hand once again.

The medicinal scent wafted through the bottle's mouth, and for a fleeting moment, his painfully aching Meridians felt inexplicably soothed.

"immortal stele creation pill..."

Murong Yun smacked his lips with a complex expression, the muscles at the corner of his mouth twitching unnaturally.

In the end, however, he couldn't help but smile secretly and with some satisfaction.

"Considering this whole bottle of divine medicine..."

Murong Yun put away the jade bottle, brushed the dirt off his backside, and snorted, "Next time I see you... This Young Master will make an exception and spare you the broom."

By the time he returned to the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, it was nearly noon.

Amidst the respectful bows of the gatekeepers and guards, Chen Shanzhi walked through the front courtyard and returned all the way to his bedroom.

He walked over to his bed and sat down cross-legged.

With a flip of his palm, two crystal-clear warm jade bottles appeared in his hand, looking quite conspicuous.

These were the immortal stele creation pill.

Earlier at the Murong Manor, seeing that his future brother-in-law Murong Yun was severely injured, he had generously tossed one bottle over.

At this moment, he still had two bottles left, totaling six pills.

Chen Shanzhi pulled the wooden stopper from one of the jade bottles and poured all three golden Medicinal Pills into his mouth.

"Hum."

The moment the Medicinal Pills entered his mouth, before he even had a chance to bite down.

The three pills, carrying a faint, refreshing fragrance, instantly transformed into three massive, cool, and pure streams of medicinal power.

They flowed straight down his throat, rushing directly into the major apertures and Meridians within his body.

The medicinal power of this immortal stele creation pill was unbelievably gentle.

It was not like those rigid and violent fire-attribute Spirit Pills that erupted like a volcanic explosion the moment they entered the body.

Instead, it was like streams of clear, sweet spring water, permeating every part of Chen Shanzhi's body in a silent, nourishing way.

"Good fellow, as expected of something backed by the immortal stele, this medicinal effect is truly unreasonable."

Chen Shanzhi sighed in admiration to himself, quickly gathered his focus, took a deep breath, and began to skillfully circulate his Cultivation Technique.

Following the rhythm of his breathing, the vast star chart within his body, outlined by countless golden points of light, was completely activated in an instant, emitting a faint golden radiance.

Guided by the star chart, those three massive yet gentle streams of medicinal power began to crazily wash over every Meridian in his body, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

Chen Shanzhi did not hesitate.

He raised his palm again and decisively swallowed the three remaining immortal stele creation pills from the other bottle.

A full two bottles, six divine pills, were devoured completely by his powerful body, which was like a bottomless pit, in a very short amount of time.

As time ticked by, Chen Shanzhi sat motionless on the bed.

Wisps of strange, dark golden steam even began to faintly emerge from his entire body.

Until the afternoon.

"Ha—!"

Chen Shanzhi exhaled a long breath of turbid air, which carried a scorching temperature.

He slowly opened his eyes, and for a fleeting moment, a dazzling, dark golden divine light flashed through his deep eyes.

He did not rush to stand up, but instead moved his mind, sinking his attention completely into his body, and began to carefully inspect his internal state.

"The effect of dumping these resources in is truly unreasonably strong."

As soon as he looked inside, Chen Shanzhi couldn't help but let his lips curl up wildly in satisfaction.

He saw that within his major Xuanguan apertures, where he had originally opened eleven apertures, the quantity of true essence within his body had not increased significantly.

However, the quality and purity of the true essence contained within these major apertures had improved by more than double compared to before!

The true essence, which had originally appeared as a faint gaseous state, was now being continuously washed and solidified by the Qi of the immortal stele.

It had actually become somewhat viscous, flowing through his Meridians and major apertures.

The refinement level of true essence directly determined one's explosive power and lethality.

Although Chen Shanzhi was still at the Xuanguan Eleven Apertures, the force of a single punch now would definitely make a Martial Artist at the Twelve Mysterious Apertures doubt their life on the spot.

Next, Chen Shanzhi cast his gaze upon the vast star chart inside his body.

He saw that the golden points of light outlined between his flesh and bones had become more dazzling than ever at this moment.

They were like tiny, miniature stars, constantly breathing out golden light.

And between these points of the star chart.

The originally faint golden mist had now clearly... thickened by a full circle!

It had only been the thickness of a single hair, but looking at it now, it was actually the thickness of two hairs.

Chen Shanzhi tried to guide it with his consciousness.

"Whoosh!"

That stream of golden mist instantly gathered violently on his right thigh, as if teleporting.

In an instant, the muscle density in his thigh surged, and a subtle, complex dark golden rune even faintly appeared on the surface of his skin.

"Not only has the local hardening become stronger, but the endurance has also improved significantly."

Chen Shanzhi grinned, and a rather malicious thought flashed through his mind.

As a top-tier lecher from his past life, he knew exactly what it meant for this golden mist to thicken.

From now on, even in the most violent and savage battles, he would definitely be able to remain invincible.

What excited Chen Shanzhi even more was.

This time, earth-shaking changes had also occurred within his Sea of Consciousness.

Chen Shanzhi's consciousness probed skillfully into his own Sea of Consciousness.

He saw that within that half-foot square clear space.

Under the illumination of the golden flames, there were now thirty strands of white mist.

The thirty strands of white mist, like thirty miniature white Dragons, were dancing lightly and slowly around the golden flame suspended in the center of the Sea of Consciousness.

"The strength of my Divine Soul has increased by nearly another fold."

Chen Shanzhi took a deep breath, suppressing the wild joy in his heart.
