36: "Crazy Refining Liquid" is born

Qin Yue had thought countless times about the purpose of his Body Refining, and where his advantage lay compared to others.

For this past month, he had pondered repeatedly.

Since he had decided to join the Pill Refining Peak, the purpose of his Body Refining was no longer to increase his resistance to attacks, but to allow him to Breakthrough to the Liquid Transformation Realm faster.

Therefore, the poisonous medicine he chose should not focus on improving the quality of Body Refining, but rather on increasing the speed of Body Refining.

He didn't need excessively high Physique strength; it just needed not to hold him back when he Breakthrough to the Liquid Transformation Realm.

As for where Qin Yue was stronger than others—intelligence? Perseverance? Comprehension Ability?

If he had been stronger than others in all these aspects, he would have made a name for himself in his previous life, and wouldn't have waited until after his Transmigration to be ahead of everyone in everything.

The reason his current martial Dao progress was so far ahead of others was actually just one: his System.

So, how could he better utilize his System?

First, he could block pain while idling, so the new Body Tempering Fluid would completely remove pain-reducing drugs. He would explain to Teacher Yan that he wanted to train his will.

Second, he could sleep while his body automatically idled for Body Refining. So, he would find a way to increase the duration of each Body Refining session and obtain a larger Body Refining area.

His “Body Tempering Fluid 3.2” abandoned the previous idea of softening flesh and increasing Body Refining speed, instead focusing on strengthening the flesh and enhancing its tear resistance against the refining of Blood Qi.

Although this revised approach slowed down the refining speed of each piece of flesh compared to before, because “Body Tempering Fluid 3.2” increased the tear resistance of the flesh, Qin Yue could use more Blood Qi each time and strengthen a larger area.

Tonight was the time for Qin Yue to experiment with Body Refining using “Body Tempering Fluid 3.2”.

Before going to bed, Qin Yue first applied “Body Tempering Fluid 3.2” to his entire right arm, then opened the System, clicked on idle, selected the “Nine Revolutions Body Refining Art”, and began idling.

This time, idling and Cultivating the “Nine Revolutions Body Refining Art” was completely different from before. Qin Yue’s Blood Qi was not drawn out thread by thread and mixed into his flesh as it used to be; instead, it all surged forward, covering his entire right arm, and began to vibrate the flesh.

Previously, each time a piece of flesh the size of a fingernail was strengthened, the time required to vibrate and tear the flesh was not short. This time, the time required to vibrate and tear the flesh of the entire right arm was even longer.

Originally, Qin Yue, using his self-refined “Body Tempering Fluid 3.2” for the first time while idling, wanted to monitor the entire process to see the effects. However, because the Cultivation time was too long, Qin Yue watched for a while, seeing no progress, and eventually couldn't stay awake and fell asleep.

The next morning, Qin Yue opened his eyes, stopped idling, and his consciousness returned to his body. The itching and numbness in his right arm made Qin Yue jump directly out of bed.

It took a good while of rubbing before the sensation subsided.

Only then did Qin Yue have time to tally the gains from his idling last night.

First, his entire right arm was visibly completely refined. The progress of Body Refining overnight surpassed Qin Yue’s entire previous month’s Body Refining progress without using Body Tempering Fluid.

Then he opened the idle log:

【This idle session has ended. Total consumption: ● Blood Qi: 800 points

Total gain: ● Nine Revolutions Body Refining Art (First Revolution): 160 points

● Skill proficiency increased, current progress:

Nine Revolutions Body Refining Art (First Revolution) (Proficient) (622 / 1000)

Remarks: ● No external interference during idling, Cultivation process was smooth.

● Cultivation stopped due to insufficient Blood Qi. It is recommended to replenish Blood Qi before continuing the next Cultivation session.】

Looking at the progress of the Nine Revolutions Body Refining Art and comparing it to his own Body Refining speed, Qin Yue believed that if he continued to Cultivate this way, his Physique would complete the first revolution even before the Body Refining Technique reached Perfection.

Today was the day for Alchemy class. Qin Yue went to Teacher Yan’s Alchemy Room early to collect the Materials needed for today’s class.

In the previous month, most students had been learning to identify the properties of medicinal herbs and refine some common herbs to familiarize themselves with the Alchemy process.

Today was their first time using demonic Materials to refine the simplest “Blood Replenishing Powder”.

Yes, in this world, even the Blood Replenishing Powder that village youths could freely consume contained demonic Materials as raw Materials.

It was only by relying on the activity of demonic Materials that one could replenish human Blood Qi.

Qin Yue had learned to refine Blood Replenishing Powder early on. He originally thought that learning to refine Blood Replenishing Powder would save him some contribution points, as refining it himself would always be cheaper than buying it!

However, it turned out that the Blood Replenishing Powder he refined cost more than buying it.

The large Pill Furnace in the center of Teacher Yan’s Alchemy Room was used for refining Blood Replenishing Powder, capable of producing tens of thousands of portions at once.

It was said that there were even larger Pill Furnaces on Pill Refining Peak, capable of refining even more at once.

Moreover, to ensure that everyone under the Holy Sect's rule could afford Blood Replenishing Powder, its price was only the cost of the Materials.

So, after Qin Yue learned to refine Blood Replenishing Powder, he rarely refined it himself and still bought ready-made ones to use.

When Qin Yue entered the Alchemy Room, he found that Teacher Yan had already arrived and was drinking tea and reading in the Alchemy Room.

“Good morning, Teacher Yan. I’m here to collect the medicinal Materials for today’s class.”

“Qin Yue, you’re here. Come over first; I have something to ask you.”

Teacher Yan saw Qin Yue enter and didn't let him go directly to the storeroom to collect the medicinal Materials, but called him over.

“You said before that you were going to start Body Refining with poison. Did you try it last night?” Teacher Yan’s voice was always so gentle when he wasn’t researching medicines.

“I did, Teacher. The effect was exactly as I expected.”

As he spoke, Qin Yue extended his arm and placed it in front of Teacher Yan.

Teacher Yan saw Qin Yue’s entire right arm was slightly red, knowing that Qin Yue had indeed successfully refined his body. He felt relieved.

Because Qin Yue’s drug improvements were very extreme, Teacher Yan was worried that he might cause harm to himself.

In fact, he had offered to be Qin Yue’s Protector before, but Qin Yue didn't agree, so he didn't insist.

Now it seemed that this student indeed had perseverance. The pain of completing Body Refining for an entire arm in one go was not something an ordinary person could endure, especially since he had also removed all the analgesic components from the medicine.

If Qin Yue knew Teacher Yan thought of him this way, he would definitely feel guilty, because he merely slept. Let alone any earth-shattering pain, even those who undergo ordinary Body Refining suffered more pain than him.

Seeing that Qin Yue’s Body Tempering Fluid had been successfully improved, Teacher Yan said, “You have successfully refined the poisonous medicine for Body Refining with poison. The rest is just fine-tuning according to your Body Refining progress.”

“It’s completely different from the original Body Tempering Fluid. Why don’t we give it a new name?”

Qin Yue didn't really care; he felt that “Body Tempering Fluid 3.2” was quite good, as it could also record the number of times he had improved the Body Tempering Fluid.

However, looking at Teacher Yan’s eager eyes, it felt a bit awkward to bring out the name “Body Tempering Fluid 3.2”.

So Qin Yue said, “The success of this Body Tempering Fluid’s improvement is entirely due to Teacher’s guidance. Please, Teacher, bestow a name.”

Qin Yue had long discovered that Teacher Yan liked to name things. Fearing that he also wouldn't know what to call it, it was better to give him the naming right and make Teacher Yan happy.

Teacher Yan indeed did not decline. “This new Body Tempering Fluid of yours has violent medicinal properties and doubles the pain. How about naming it ‘Frenzied Tempering Fluid’?”

“Frenzied Tempering Fluid”?

Qin Yue felt it wasn't as pleasant sounding as “Body Tempering Fluid 3.2”!

But making the Teacher happy was more important, so “Frenzied Tempering Fluid” it was!
