High Martial Arts: Gains one point of health per second, sweeping across the heavens.

"In the secret realm, if any unexpected situation arises, the loss of vital energy will be enormous! We must ensure that we can remain absolutely conscious for ten days and ten nights after entering!"

Thinking of this, Su Jie immediately made a decision that seemed extremely extravagant and even decadent to other martial artists—to sleep! To sleep until the world turned upside down!

He first went to the most upscale food store in Jinling City, where he squandered a large amount of star coins to buy enough top-grade monster meat and nourishing medicinal dishes to last for ten days, which were rich in blood and qi energy, and filled the hotel's refrigerator.

Then, he returned to his room, locked the door, drew the curtains, and lay comfortably on the big bed.

The next moment, an intense drowsiness washed over him like a tidal wave. Su Jie relaxed his mind and stopped resisting, instantly falling into an unprecedented deep sleep.

That sleep lasted for four whole days!

During these four days, his body was like the most sophisticated instrument, with the "Original Breathing Technique" continuously absorbing the vital energy from the outside world, while his spirit and will were thoroughly relaxed and nourished during deep sleep.

The bloodshed on the border battlefield, the shock of killing internet celebrities, the clamor of the auction... all the accumulated fatigue and distractions were washed away by this long sleep.

When he was woken up by his alarm clock on the morning of the day the secret realm opened, he felt refreshed, his eyes were bright, his mind was clearer and sharper than ever before, and his blood and energy were vibrant and abundant. He was in the best possible condition!

"Awesome!" Su Jie stretched, his joints cracking like thunder.

[Current Martial Acupoints: Level 9: 9, Level 8: 90]

[Current Qi and Blood Reserves: 51.47 points (continuously increasing...)]

[Combat Power: 5130 points!]

With his condition fully restored and his strength slightly improved, Su Jie nodded in satisfaction. He wasn't in a hurry to upgrade his martial acupoint with his 500,000 health points. After a hearty meal, he headed to the entrance of the Star Origin Secret Realm with renewed vigor.

The entrance to the secret realm was located in a heavily guarded valley on the outskirts of Jinling City. By this time, most of the other qualified martial artists had already arrived, many of them bearing the fatigue of staying up all night to cultivate and the excitement of forcing themselves to stay alert.

When they saw Su Jie, who was radiant and whose eyes shone like two stars, they were all stunned.

"How come this kid is in such good shape?"

"I heard he spent 2000 points of Qi and Blood to buy that spot. Could he have given up and decided to just sleep it off?"

"Possibly. 2000 points of Qi and Blood! Just thinking about it makes my heart ache. How could I possibly concentrate on cultivation..."

Many people secretly shook their heads, thinking that Su Jie was either an idiot or had lost his mind.

Su Jie ignored the surrounding chatter and waited quietly in line.

"The secret realm is open! Enter in turn, ten days limit!" The guard officer's loud voice rang out.

A massive energy vortex, even more solid than the Star Origin Secret Realm in Linjiang City, swirling with a seven-colored halo, appeared in the center of the valley.

Su Jie stepped into the crowd!

A familiar sense of time and space shifting washed over him, and the next moment, he found himself in a vast, blessed land where the energy of blood and qi was so concentrated that it was almost liquid!

[Extremely high concentration of Qi and Blood environment detected! The effect of "Original Breathing Technique" greatly enhanced! Current Qi and Blood increase rate: 10 points per second!]

Become!

Su Jie was overjoyed! 10 points per second! That's 864000 points a day! That's 864 million points in ten days! This enormous number made his heart race!

Without hesitation, he rushed to a secluded corner filled with energy and sat down cross-legged.

Instead of impatiently getting into position and practicing breathing techniques like the others, he first did something that left the other martial artists dumbfounded.

Su Jie took out a soft air mattress from his backpack (used to conceal the system space), skillfully inflated it, and then lay down comfortably on it, even taking out an eye mask to put on!

"What...what is he doing?!" A martial artist named Zhao Ming's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "He's sleeping here?! This is a Star Source Secret Realm with ten times the concentration! Every second is worth a fortune! And he's actually sleeping?!"

Not only Zhao Ming, but everyone else who noticed Su Jie's actions also looked like they'd seen a ghost. This wasn't just wasteful spending; this was madness!

However, what they didn't know was that the moment Su Jie lay down, he had already given an order in his mind:

"System, convert 40 units of Qi and Blood, along with all subsequent increases, into the 'Qi and Blood Furnace' in real time, transforming them into Qi and Blood Essence! Simultaneously, use the Qi and Blood Essence to temper the remaining ninety level-eight martial acupoints, upgrading them to level nine!"

[Command confirmed! Execution initiated!]

Su Jie, lying on the air mattress, appeared to be sleeping, but in reality, earth-shattering changes were taking place inside his body!

[Qi and Blood +10... +10... +10...]

[Qi and Blood Essence +40... +0.001]

After 40 units of Qi and blood are converted into Qi and blood essence:

[Consuming 10 points of Qi and Blood Essence, Martial Aperture level increased to 9! Combat Power +20!]

[Consuming 10 points of Qi and Blood Essence, Martial Aperture level increased to 9! Combat Power +20!]

……

A pleasant system notification tone began to ring in his mind at a steady and astonishing frequency!

The formation of each level nine martial acupoint brings a tremendous power and a deeper transformation to the body!

Su Jie lay comfortably on the "bed," seemingly fast asleep, but in reality, he was accelerating his tempering in a tempering resonance state while enjoying the unparalleled pleasure of his strength soaring like a rocket!

The feeling of becoming stronger while lying down, and at an unbelievable speed, is so exhilarating it sends shivers down your spine!

Zhao Ming and the others were still struggling to practice their breathing techniques, barely increasing their Qi and blood by 1 or 2 points per hour. Seeing Su Jie "asleep," they were filled with contempt and disdain.

They simply couldn't imagine that the "fool" and "spendthrift" in their eyes was engaging in such insane cultivation in a way that they couldn't comprehend!

The real cheaters even have different cultivation methods than them!

After Su Jie initially consumed 40 points of Qi and Blood Essence to instantly upgrade four level nine martial acupoints, every three hours thereafter, one level eight martial acupoint would undergo a qualitative leap under the infusion of vast and pure energy, and be promoted to a perfect level nine martial acupoint!

The formation of each level nine martial acupoint not only brings a huge boost of 20 points in combat power, but also seems to ignite an eternal star within the body, with a perfectly stable structure that exudes a powerful yet restrained power fluctuation.

Su Jie could clearly feel that his body was undergoing a profound transformation, with the quality of his blood and qi, his control over his power, and even his life essence all slowly improving.

The feeling of lying still while your strength increases at a visible speed is so exhilarating that it's indescribable!

He doesn't even need to worry about mental exhaustion like others, because he is in the most relaxed "resting" state at this moment, full of energy and clear-headed, and can most directly and pleasantly enjoy the pleasure of this power enhancement.
