Chapter 377: Chapter 376: Improvement
After sending off Ji Roufeng and Li Lei.
Xu Lingjun returned to his room, his smile fading.
Next, it was time to get down to business.
Wang Qingya also went to take a shower as she had an important seminar to attend later.
Everyone has their own matters to attend to, who can always stay by someone’s side?
Xu Lingjun went straight to Wang Qingya’s bedroom and sat on the already tidied bed... taking out a black box about the size of a person’s embrace from a capsule.
Inside was his reward this time.
A total of seven bottles of potions.
And as these potions came into view, lines upon lines of small words appeared before Xu Lingjun’s eyes.
[Detected Low Grade Potion Bone Marrow Cleansing Potion, do you wish to imbue it with real Origin? Requires consumption of 200 Origin Value!]
[Detected Middle Grade Potion Spiritual Essence Divine Marrow Potion, do you wish to imbue it with real Origin, requires consumption of 300 Origin Value!]
..................
A series of prompts.
Evidently, although these potions were of different types, their effects were not significantly different, and in terms of effect, none were inferior to the Bone and Muscle Gene Enhancer Xu Lingjun had obtained earlier.
If he were going to the Polar Star Battlefield, naturally, he’d have to make adequate preparations.
After the previous battle with Zhou Qianmo, Xu Lingjun had already touched upon his current limits.
Facing Upper Realm Grandmasters, if he was willing to go all out, he could cause them a considerable amount of trouble... But if he wanted to escape from their hands, it would still be quite difficult.
This was the gap in absolute strength, and because his tactics were too flashy, it was only to the maximum extent that he made up the gap between them.
Otherwise... at most one move, and he would be completely killed.
He just didn’t know what kind of changes would occur after downing these seven bottles of potions?
Xu Lingjun picked up these potions and imbued them one by one...
He was now quite wealthy and substantial.
Seven bottles of potion cost him over 2500+ Source Value in total, directly reducing his Source Value to over a quarter.
But the effect of the Source Value’s consumption was also astonishing.
As the potions entered his stomach... the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" quickly began to operate, an inexhaustible tide of Blood Qi surged forth, completely submerging all the medicinal power, and finally turned into a bit of crystal clear Spirit Liquid, which adhered to the inner walls of the meridians.
There was no absolute strength enhancement.
But Xu Lingjun could sense that his meridian elasticity was much better.
The "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" though a Divine Demon Level Technique, still had its focus, emphasizing external body forging more than internal, but that was still relatively speaking.
In terms of effect, Xu Lingjun’s current internal organs were not inferior to those of Han Yun City, who cultivated the Supreme Technique Emperor Blood Heaven Slayer.
But in terms of external body defense, it was still noticeably inferior.
But these drugs, whose effects had already reached their peak after being imbued, undoubtedly made up for this deficiency.
Xu Lingjun’s strength was now extremely strong, and his digestive ability was also very strong.
Such potions, that an ordinary person might not be able to digest in a day, and even waste a lot of effects, were almost completely consumed in his stomach in just two or three minutes.
As his strength increased, the effect of the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" became more and more astonishing.
Xu Lingjun silently marveled in his heart, afraid that in the future, I would be able to even digest raw rocks.
He took the second bottle of potion, downed it, and continued to digest.
In just an hour’s time...
All seven potions had been swallowed into his stomach.
His body did not undergo any special changes, but now the Eight Extraordinary Meridians within his body had become as translucent as jade.
Before, one bottle could make Xu Lingjun undergo a complete transformation, but now, seven bottles in a row...
The effect was also quite astonishing.
Xu Lingjun closed his eyes and sensed carefully for a while, feeling the True Qi moving.
There was a sense of... a big horse pulling a small cart.
Xu Lingjun took a deep breath and took out a piece of dried meat from his bosom.
It was from the Level 8 Demon Beast he had killed before; at the time, he had invited everyone to a hot pot feast, and there was a lot of leftover meat, all made into dried meat.
Blood Qi can convert to True Qi, which is a trait of his "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique," so he naturally kept this blood Qi increasing meat with him.
Though the meat was a bit dry, its Blood Qi had not been much consumed.
Xu Lingjun tore off a bite of the meat and chewed it down...
The meat entered his stomach and immediately turned into the purest Blood Qi, which transformed into True Qi, quickly circulating with the True Qi already in his body.
But he couldn’t help but frown.
The intention was just to test the capacity of his meridians now, but this bite of meat went down, and it didn’t satisfy his thirst at all... couldn’t feel anything.
He felt as if he had become the Sea King, no matter how turbulent the impact, it was all a little brother before him now, just a pin and needle, come if you wish, but do you expect me to be moved?
He took out several more pieces of meat and swallowed them all in one go.
The conversion of True Qi became faster...
But it was only the difference from a needle to a fingertip; it still couldn’t fill up the pace.
"It seems that my strength will skyrocket for a period of time in the future."
Xu Lingjun muttered to himself, his meridians had already widened, and the "Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique" absorbed surrounding Spiritual Qi into the body, combined with the ability to absorb an enemy’s True Qi, in this state, all preconditions had already converged, and what remained was simply for him to fill these gaps. When the time comes, his strength will naturally skyrocket.
Just where is my limit now?
Xu Lingjun tried several times in succession, continuously taking several bottles of Spirit Blood Potion that had been imbued, devouring the meat in large mouthfuls, feeling slightly full but still far from reaching his limit.
But after several experiments, Xu Lingjun gradually felt a sense of arrogance rising in his heart.
Perhaps, I have been reborn.
Perhaps, my limit is no longer as a Profound Realm Martial Artist, but...
At this moment, a surge of mad confidence suddenly welled up within him.
Perhaps he’s still not Zhou Qianmo’s match, but if he were to unleash a full-force strike, maybe he could convert it and bounce it back.
Zhou Qianmo is already dead.
But...
Xu Lingjun laid out two pieces of Jade Pendants.
Either one of these Jade Pendants contained over seventy percent of the Sect Leader of Tomorrow’s power in a single strike.
He had previously used one of these Jade Pendants to activate the Assault Freedom Mecha, and with the strength of mere flesh and blood, it was able to operate that gigantic robot over tens of meters high. The strength of the Sect Leader of Tomorrow must have been even greater than Zhou Qianmo’s.
Within this Jade Pendant was at least seventy percent of his strength.
Perhaps this usage could be somewhat wasteful, but it’s important to understand his limits correctly, and such waste is worthwhile.
Thinking of this, Xu Lingjun slammed the Jade Pendant on his own Dantian without hesitation.
The next moment, cracks appeared on the Jade Pendant, and it shattered.
A vast, seemingly boundless flood of powerful True Qi surged like a landslide or tsunami, instantly filling Xu Lingjun’s meridians completely.
The potent influx of Blood Qi and True Qi was compressed until it left just a tiny space to reside.
Xu Lingjun’s body suddenly swelled up.
Finally, feeling the long-lost sensation of being filled to the brim.
He had the calculations down to the tee...
This True Qi from the Jade Pendant is by no means the full-force True Qi from Tomorrow’s supreme attack, so in terms of aggression, it wasn’t too strong. Even in the worst-case scenario, if he couldn’t withstand it, he could expel the True Qi from his body, risking damage to his meridians.
He was fully confident in keeping the damage within a controllable range and seizing the opportunity to gauge his limit.
Yet, the moment the True Qi permeated his body, Xu Lingjun was stunned to discover...
Though uncomfortable...
He managed to withstand this wave of onslaught.
In fact, not only did Xu Lingjun endure it, but a surge of instinctive confidence swelled within his heart.
Indeed... these were potions that had raised my threshold once more.
Facing Zhou Qianmo now, even if he threw his full weight behind an attack at me, I might be able to reverse it...
Despite an absolute lack in comparison to a Grandmaster, at least now, I was no longer utterly powerless to resist.
