With the sound of a few notifications, he could feel that his stats had increased by a lot.
Right now, his entire body was filled with explosive power, and he was even stronger than before he broke through. After all, he had only broken through one realm.
Of course, although breaking through to the next realm was something worth celebrating, the home ground now was the innate Gengjin qi that was ready to be fully refined!
This time, the changes were not in his qi center or his body, but outside of his body.
A faint golden body was uncontrollably circulating around his body.
At the same time, the meridians in his body actually lit up. Through his skin and flesh, one could see the glowing human meridians.
Right now, he was like a little golden man, exuding an extremely majestic aura.
The golden threads of true essence continuously circulated in his skin and meridians, and began to crackle.
At the same time, a sharp pain suddenly surged out of his body.
“Hmm–“
He snorted slightly, and his brows were slightly furrowed. This pain was much less than when he was cultivating the Five Elements Heaven Vein Mantra. It was just that it came a little too suddenly, and he could not help but let out a soft ‘hmm’.
When he came to his senses, he raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself.
“Come on, it’s so weak. Can you give me something more exciting?”
The gold-gilded true essence that was constantly circulating seemed to have heard his thoughts, and it immediately satisfied him.
The gold-gilded true essence turned into sharp sword-like threads and pierced at his veins. Immediately, his expression, which had been somewhat successful, suddenly tensed up.
“Hiss! F*ck!! Really?!”
The pain that was similar to when he had opened up his heaven meridians. The threads of gold-gilded true essence also continued to transform his veins and flesh.
One could see many mysterious lines appearing on his muscular body as if it was a natural phenomenon.
When the gold-gilded true essence flowed through his flesh, it left behind threads of pale-gold thread-like true essence.
These thread-like true essence began to crazily construct this on his body, as if it was knitting a sweater, enveloping his body.
This tearing pain caused him to have flashbacks of when he opened his heavenly meridians, and that night, he groaned in pain.
However, he could not groan in this Cultivation Dao Pagoda. The lower level was the level where Zhao Xuening was cultivating. Who knew if he would be heard if he cried out? If people thought that he was doing something strange, that would be really embarrassing.
As time slowly passed, his forehead was covered with sweat. Although his body was not exhausted yet, it was about to collapse.
Su Yi looked haggard, and his eyes were a little lifeless.
After a long time, the sound of a savior-like notification slowly rang in his mind. Like the gospel of salvation, he suddenly quivered, and his eyes regained their luster.
[Notification: innate Gengjin qi has been refined.]
[Notification: You have received the protection of the gold-gilded qi. Your damage reduction has been reduced by 10%.]
Seeing these two notifications, he grinned and revealed a smile that did not disappoint.
After suffering such pain, the reward was indeed great. After refining the innate Gengjin qi, his damage reduction had already reached 20%.
Now, with this additional 10% damage reduction, he had a damage reduction effect of up to 30%. At this time, even if he was caught off guard by the collision of a late-stage foundation establishment realm demon beast, the damage he received would not be too great. At most, he would only be a little embarrassed.
Compared to ordinary cultivators, being hit by a late-stage foundation establishment realm demon beast was not as simple as being injured. It was even possible that he would die instantly.
As he felt his strength increase, he slightly circulated his mental cultivation method and took in a breath of the surrounding pure spiritual qi. He immediately felt extremely comfortable. Then, he looked at his information panel.
[Name: Su Yi]
[Realm: Late-stage foundation establishment eighth level (452/80000)]
There was still one more level to go before he reached the final level of the foundation establishment realm. He was not too far away from reaching the core formation realm.
After reaching the core formation realm, he could fly in the sky and burrow into the ground. He could learn all kinds of even more terrifying techniques, formations, and so on, thinking about it, it really made him look forward to it.
Thinking of this, a smile bloomed on Su Yi’s face. He sat down cross-legged and continued the cultivation of consuming the azure origin pill and breathing exercises.
Unlike Su Yi’s cultivation, which was like a bottomless pit, there seemed to be some problems with the cultivation of the other people in the Cultivation Dao Pagoda.
The first was Wang Baocai. He sat cross-legged on the seventh level. His entire appearance seemed to have changed. He was getting bloated. Even his originally handsome face had turned red, turning into a fat face.
At this moment, Wang Baocai woke up from his cultivation state. He was pleasantly surprised when he felt that his cultivation had actually broken through to the ninth level of the foundation establishment realm.
He did not expect that in just a few short days, he had finally broken through to the ninth level of the foundation establishment realm. However, in the next moment, he felt the changes in his body.
“F*ck!”
Wang Baocai’s eyes widened. He saw his bloated hands continuously touching his body. When he realized that he had become like a 300-pound fatty, he immediately wanted to cry but had no tears.
“What the hell is going on!!”
“My appearance!! My body!!”
A cry of grief even startled the entire Cultivation Dao Pagoda.
Nie Ling and Li Mengxi, who were on the sixth level, were deeply affected by it. They opened their eyes and looked at each other in confusion.
“What happened to that guy upstairs?” Nie Ling raised her brows slightly and asked in confusion.
Who knew that Li Mengxi would hear such a miserable scream? The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile as he said with a chuckle.
“Hehe, I guess he didn’t pay attention to the amount of spiritual energy being poured into him. He should have turned into a fatty by now, right?”
Hearing this, Nie Ling was completely confused. They were both cultivating in the Cultivation Dao Pagoda, so why was that guy the one who cried out in alarm?
At the same time, she was also slightly worried about which level Su Yi was cultivating on and whether he would encounter something?
At that moment, Li Mengxi saw Nie Ling’s worried expression and explained, “fellow Daoist Nie, although we cultivators absorb spirit qi to increase our cultivation, we are like a bottle. If we absorb too much spirit qi at once, it will overflow.”
“Therefore, it’s also the reason why we train for a period of time. It’s not only to adapt to the increase in strength, but also to allow the cultivator’s body to completely digest the spirit qi.”
“The density of the spirit qi in this place is beyond imagination. Presumably, Wang Baocai upstairs didn’t pay attention to the amount of spirit qi he absorbed, which is why he was so shocked.”
Hearing this, Nie Ling nodded slightly, and then continued to ask, “fellow Daoist Li, then will we also become fatties?”
Thinking about how Wang Baocai looked like a 300-pound fatty, Nie Ling felt a chill run down her spine. If she really became like that, how would she face others?
Li Mengxi smiled sinisterly and said to Nie Ling in a frivolous tone.
“Take a guess?”
