High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

As the alchemical furnace cooled, the sacred elixir shone brightly.

Chen Yuan held eight radiant ninth-grade holy pills in his palm, each emanating a powerful medicinal force that made one's heart tremble.

The air was filled with the fragrance of cinnamon.

The spiritual energy within the entire Holy Venerable's Mansion seemed to have been cleansed, becoming even purer.

His gaze fell on one of the pills, which was pure white and had golden patterns on its surface.

This is a holy pill made with Holy Spirit Liquid as the main ingredient and other level-eight spiritual materials as supplements. The only pity is that because the auxiliary materials are not level nine, it is not of top quality.

Only medium grade.

"Breakthrough Pill".

Chen Yuan softly uttered the name of the pill, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

Even if this pill isn't top-tier, its effects are still very strong.

For experts at the Martial Saint realm, it can increase the probability of breaking through to a minor realm by 40%.

For martial artists at the peak of Martial Venerable, the success rate of breaking through to Martial Saint is as high as 60%!

What does 60% mean?

Even for ordinary Martial Venerables at their peak, the success rate of breaking through to Martial Saint is only about 50%, even if they have monstrous martial arts talent and are fully prepared.

More than half of the martial artists are not many.

Otherwise, martial saint level experts wouldn't be so rare.

Even with the help of the Holy Spirit, the chances of success would only increase by 30%.

This elixir.

It's enough to drive any martial artist stuck at the peak of Martial Venerable crazy!

"Minister Lin," Chen Yuan casually tossed the Breakthrough Pill over, "This one's yours."

The pill traced an arc and landed steadily in Lin Wei's hand.

Lin Wei caught it instinctively.

It feels warm and smooth to the touch, and its fragrance is refreshing and delightful.

She looked down and when she saw the clear golden patterns on the surface of the pill, she was struck dumb!

"This...this is..."

Her voice trembled, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

As the head of the Lin family, she was well aware of the value of this pill!

Grandpa Lin Zuyao has been stuck at the peak of Martial Venerable for nearly several decades.

The Lin family exhausted all their resources, yet they could only find a support treasure with a 20% chance of breaking through.

And this pill has a 60% success rate!

It's almost like having one foot in the realm of Martial Saint!

"The Breakthrough Pill, when taken by a peak Martial Venerable, has a 60% chance of breaking through to Martial Saint," Chen Yuan said calmly.

"It should be of some use to your ancestor."

Is it somewhat useful?

This is an incredible opportunity!

Lin Wei felt as if the pill in her hand was incredibly heavy, and her breathing became rapid.

Overjoyed, shocked, grateful... a mix of emotions almost made her lose her composure.

"Master...this...this is far too precious..." Her voice choked with emotion, her eyes slightly red, "How could I possibly deserve this..."

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Take this as a reward. As for whether you can seize this opportunity, that depends on the fate of your Lin family."

He spoke casually.

If even with the help of this Breakthrough Pill, the Lin family patriarch still cannot break through to the Martial Saint realm, then his life will remain just like this.

She carefully put the pill, which was enough to change the fate of her Lin family, into the storage ring she carried close to her body.

Then he bowed deeply.

"The Lin family will never forget the Lord's great kindness! From this day forward, the Lin family will follow the Lord's lead without hesitation, even through mountains of knives and seas of fire!"

Chen Yuan nodded and put away the remaining seven Saint Pills.

These pills each have their own unique uses: there are holy pills for healing injuries, holy pills for tempering the body, and holy pills for nourishing the soul. Each one is a priceless treasure.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, go back now. I'm exhausted from refining pills and need to meditate for a few days." He waved his hand and made up a reason.

"Yes! This concubine takes her leave!"

Lin Wei dared not linger and respectfully backed away.

As she stepped out of the gates of the Holy Venerable's Mansion, her steps were so light she almost floated, and her face was filled with uncontrollable joy.

This time, trying to please Chen Yuan has yielded results beyond imagination!

Not only did it secure control of the Ministry of People's Livelihood for the Lin family, it also obtained this ninth-order Saint Pill, which was enough to help Grandpa break through to the Martial Saint realm!

Liu Cang, oh Liu Cang.

You are truly the Lin family's "lucky star"!

Lin Wei chuckled inwardly, wishing she could fly back to the Lin family right now and deliver the sacred pill to her grandfather.

Inside the Holy Venerable's Mansion, Chen Yuan stretched.

Refining ninth-order sacred pills is indeed mentally taxing, especially when refining eight at a time, plus one hundred eighth-order Venerable-level pills.

If it weren't for his peak Martial Saint cultivation level supporting him...

An ordinary Saint-level alchemist would probably have collapsed from exhaustion long ago, because other Saint-level alchemists don't possess the cultivation of a Martial Saint like him.

Then he casually put away the remaining alchemy materials and the Saint-level alchemy furnace, feeling that he had had a good day practicing.

"Chen Tianling, Zhao Wenyuan," Chen Yuan called out.

"Here!" The two appeared immediately.

"I will be in seclusion for a few days. You are in charge of the affairs of the manor. Do not disturb me unless it is urgent."

Chen Yuan gave the instructions.

"Yes!" The two bowed and accepted the order.

Chen Yuan flashed back to the ninth floor of the cultivation tower and sat cross-legged.

He had just finished refining a pile of eighth and ninth-grade pills in front of him, and he picked out all the ones that could improve his cultivation.

I thought about it.

He then took out another 100,000 high-grade spirit crystals and piled them up like a small mountain around himself.

"Let's try to pass the level in one go."

A hint of anticipation flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Although the Martial Saint Peak was already the strongest on Blue Star, he was not satisfied and wanted to become even stronger.

A thought crossed my mind.

A ninth-tier sacred pill containing pure energy flew into his mouth.

boom!

The powerful medicinal force instantly dissolved and surged into every part of the body!

Chen Yuan activated the "Primordial Chaos Scripture," causing all the pores on his body to open, and the 100,000 spirit crystals around him to simultaneously radiate light, with a massive amount of spiritual energy surging in like a tide.

Inside the cultivation tower, the spiritual energy was so dense it was almost liquefied!

Time slipped away quietly during the cultivation...

three days later.

The martial arts world of Luodu is in an uproar once again, following the Liu family incident!

Lin Zuyao, the patriarch of the Lin family.

The news that he would be going into seclusion in three days to attempt to break through to the Martial Saint realm was like a bombshell, leaving everyone stunned.

What's even more shocking is...

Sources revealed this.

Lin Zuyao was so confident because he had received a Saint-level Breakthrough Pill as a reward from Saint Venerable Chen Yuan!

"A Saint-level Breakthrough Pill? What's that?"

"It is said to be a sacred pill personally refined by Venerable Chen. Those at the peak of the Martial Venerable realm who consume it have a 60% chance of breaking through to the Martial Saint realm!"

"Sixty percent?! My God! Doesn't that mean... the Lin family is about to produce a Martial Saint?!"

"More than that! With Lin Wei now hooking up with Chen Shengzun, the Lin family is likely to rise to the top in no time!"

The various prominent families were abuzz with discussion. Some were envious, some were jealous, but most quickly prepared lavish gifts and went to visit the Lin family.

In a short time.

The Lin family mansion was bustling with activity, with carriages and horses coming and going in an endless stream.

The heads of several powerful families who were once on par with or even stronger than the Lin family have now humbled themselves and personally come to offer their congratulations.

"Brother Lin, congratulations! When you break through to Martial Saint in the future, don't forget to give me a hand!"

"Patriarch Lin, this is a small token of our Wang family's appreciation; we hope you will accept it..."

"If the Lin family ever needs anything in the future, my Zhao family will certainly do our utmost to help!"

Lin Zuyao sat in the main hall.

Looking at the hall full of guests, I was filled with emotion.

He considered himself a genius and prodigy in the martial arts world, but he was stuck at the peak of Martial Venerable for decades, and thought he had no hope of reaching the Saint Realm in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly, Lin Wei's decisive choice of sides brought such an amazing opportunity to the Lin family!

"All of this is thanks to the grace of Saint Chen..."

Lin Zuyao thought to himself.

He looked at Lin Wei, who was sitting below him, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

After his eldest son tragically perished in the Heavenly Cave, he defied all opposition and made his granddaughter succeed him as the head of the family. It was truly the most correct decision he ever made!

In stark contrast to the bustling atmosphere of the Lin family's residence, the Liu family's home was deserted.

Inside the Liu family mansion, a somber mood hung heavy.

Liu Zhenyue lay on his sickbed, his face pale. The ten lashes of the Soul-Suppressing Whip had damaged his soul and torn his skin.

It takes months of rest and recuperation to fully recover.

Upon hearing the steward's report that the Lin family was about to produce a saint, Liu Zhenyue gave a bitter laugh, his eyes filled with resentment.

"A meteoric rise... a meteoric rise by stepping on my Liu family..."

"If it weren't for that fool Cang'er, this opportunity... should have belonged to my Liu family..."

He closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

The members of the Liu family stood in front of the bed, all with their heads bowed and silent.

They knew that the Liu family... was truly finished.

Having lost most of its assets, with mid-level powerhouses transferred to the front lines, the former patriarch imprisoned in the General Affairs Department, and the patriarch, already nearing the end of his lifespan, being rewarded with ten consecutive draws...

After Liu Zhenyue passes away in the near future.

The Liu family, let alone maintaining its position as one of the nine great martial arts families of Luodu, will probably only be relegated to the bottom of the first-class families.

A family with a Martial Saint is a top-tier family, a family with a Martial Venerable is a first-rate family, and the nine great families are the nine strongest among the first-rate families.

Second-rate individuals possess even those who don't have the Martial Venerable rank.

Liu Zhenyue spoke weakly.

"Issue my order... From this day forward, the Liu family shall close its doors to all visitors. All members shall devote themselves to cultivation and act discreetly, with the primary goal of revitalizing the Liu family. They shall not... provoke any further trouble."

"Yes..." the crowd responded, their voices filled with sorrow.

Liu Zhenyue stared at the ceiling, his heart filled with endless regret.

If time could turn back, he would definitely slap that idiot awake before Liu Cang left.

Unfortunately, there's no going back.

The decline of the Liu family is a foregone conclusion.

Chen Yuan, the instigator of all this, is still in the cultivation tower, completely unaware of the outside world's turmoil.

Peak Martial Saint, Saint-level Alchemist.

His level has long surpassed the conflicts between these martial arts families.

On the ninth floor of the cultivation tower, spiritual energy surged.

Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a flash of golden light disappearing from them.

"My cultivation has improved a bit more... but I'm still far from that level."

He muttered to himself.

Seeing that the 100,000 spirit crystals had been exhausted, he took out another 100,000 with a thought.

Then he closed his eyes again.
