After sending the firewood and water into the kitchen and arranging it again, the young man finally let Lin Xiao go. He even allowed him to walk around casually: "Walking is good for your health, this palace is also more lively."

"Brat, you're actually using me as a decoration. Are you afraid that others will find out that there's no one in your palace?"

Lin Xiao hated that he did not have time to stand outside the door and shout, but unfortunately, in this mountain range, there were very few people.

This place seemed to be an forgotten corner. While the Heaven's Pride Heroes were searching for treasures and Arcane Art, Lin Xiao could only stay in their empty palace.

When Lin Xiao finally got back to the study room, he was about to get a good night's sleep. But when he sat on the brick bed, he suddenly felt that the Innate Qi in his body had left his dantian and was circulating continuously.

Under his observation, he was ecstatic. "This true qi is actually gathering, could it be that it is about to break through?!"

Under the constant circulation, strands of Innate Qi finally started to gather in his Dantian. Lin Xiao did not dare to be careless, he quickly sat down and started to circulate his Heaven Martial Immortal Art.

At this time, it was noon and the sun was at its peak. According to the records of the tri-essence dao scripture, it was the most suitable time for a breakthrough. It was also because he was studying tri-essence dao scripture that the True Qi in his body flowed on its own.

As for the inscription he got last night, it also had some guidance on breaking through. After Lin Xiao thought about it carefully, he decided to deal with it in the light of his own situation.

Refining qi was using a cultivation technique to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, transforming it into true energy that could be activated by a person.

Compared to the strength of the physical body, the body would not be able to spend as much as the true qi. This was a type of replacement, and as the true qi in the dantian increased, the cultivator would naturally break through to the intermediate stage, advanced stage, or even perfection stage.

"However, if you want to truly improve every step of the way, just achieving true qi isn't enough," Lin Xiao said seriously, "The body is also an important standard. Since it's a breakthrough guided by the tri-essence dao scripture, could it be …"

Without waiting for Lin Xiao to check his condition, the youth suddenly appeared at the entrance of the study room.

He was extremely surprised, but he did not disturb her. He only muttered to himself, "It seems that your body's quality isn't bad. Just this fifty li is enough for you to break through."

The young man was right, the reason why Lin Xiao was able to break through smoothly was entirely because he had split firewood and carried water for fifty kilometers. Furthermore, his life had unintentionally increased Lin Xiao's physique during these past few days.

Without a single step, how could he have reached the standard in an instant?

However, Lin Xiao did not have the time to consider all of these, his entire mind was already focused on his Dantian.

Whoosh!

Normally, when the true qi grow and gather, that would be the complete breakthrough in the Qi Refining stage. However, Lin Xiao's body had already turned into an even thicker true qi, which flowed through his meridians, and in an instant, it entered into his flesh and blood!

"Ugh!"

Although he had experienced it before, this method was too rough. The meridians were not damaged, but the nerves were stimulated, causing Lin Xiao's lips and teeth to turn white, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat from the pain.

The young man's eyes flashed with surprise. He suddenly climbed onto the brick bed and placed both of his palms on Lin Xiao's back, releasing a warm and gentle Qi into his body. Together with the tri-essence dao scripture, he guided Lin Xiao's Innate Qi to every corner of his body.

"Strange, why would an outsider train his body with zhenqi?" In the past few days, this was the first time the youth had seen such a cultivator.

Lin Xiao was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world. With the help of the tri-essence dao scripture, he recalled the records on the tablet, "Innate Qi training, this is too sudden!"

Everything passed quickly, it was hard for his Innate Qi to nourish his body, so he fell behind in every corner of Lin Xiao's body and returned back to his Dantian.

From Lin Xiao's pores, a grayish-black mud like substance quickly seeped out. It was a mixture of blood, bone dregs and a foreign object in his body.

"How stinky, a body refiner doesn't even say anything before breaking through!"

The teenager covered his nose. He had wanted to kick Lin Xiao to the ground, but he held back himself, "Stay here and don't move. Otherwise, you'll be buried in this place too."

He brought a large wooden bathtub filled with water and effortlessly carried it into the study. After placing it on the floor, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad. He's a good prisoner. He'll be able to do more work in the future!"

Lin Xiao did not say anything. After taking a bath and changing his clothes, he kept thinking about this matter.

Breaking through to the next level would have been a good thing for him, but he had suffered a lot. Why was his true qi tempering his body, could it have something to do with the monolith inscriptions and the tri-essence dao scripture?

Or could it be that he was also inseparable from the Immortal Martial Arts?

"You really are a strange person. Since it's body refining, how can you break through without reaching the standard?" Seeing that Lin Xiao was alright, the young man started chanting around him, "In my opinion, you are only at the Third Layer of Body Tempering, and yet you want to forcefully break through to the Fifth Layer.

Hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes gained a little more light. "Body Tempering Stage? Young Master, I finally understand, haha! "

He had already asked the system, and the answer was that as long as the criteria to break through was met, both internally and externally, the tri-essence dao scripture would guide the breakthrough process at the most suitable time.

Just as the youth had said, even though Lin Xiao could break through, "outside" was still not enough to withstand the baptism.

It was a huge benefit, but to an ordinary person, they would only benefit from it a few times in their life. Fortunately, they had the help of the youth at the critical moment, otherwise, Lin Xiao's body would have been destroyed by the Qi!

"Look at how pleased you are with yourself. However, since you're in such a miserable state, I won't make things difficult for you."

The young man rolled his eyes at Lin Xiao, then took out an ancient book from the bookshelf and threw it on the brick bed: "For people like you who use your Qi to temper your body, it's like forging a blade on fire. If you do not control the temperature, if you are not careful, the blade will become useless."

"This is a body forging cultivation technique from our world. You should learn it well and stop integrating the cultivation techniques that you have comprehended. Nonsense!"

Lin Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The youth actually thought that he had comprehended his own technique. He picked up the ancient book on the brick bed, opened it to look, and was immediately stunned: "You guys also use this type of writing?"

"Of course we don't need to. Isn't this what I got for you?" The gaze the youth used to look at Lin Xiao was as though he was looking at a fool.

He left very quickly, and only then did Lin Xiao carefully study the body forging technique in his hands. After the system was firm, he realized that this was a high-grade body forging technique: "I never thought that he would be so generous."

Now, Lin Xiao could also understand that there was a part of the Immortal Martial Arts which refined the body. It was just that all this time, he had only relied on his spirit energy to directly break through.

After placing the ancient book back in its original position, Lin Xiao, who had just broken through, once again consolidated his cultivation realm according to the records of the Immortal Martial Arts.

He had already reached the late stage of Qi Refining and was just one step away from the peak of the Qi Refining stage, but his physical body was not even at the mid stage.

'To draw in the world's spirit energy, to strengthen one's own body, to be guided by true qi, to be infused into all hundred meridians, blood, bones, and flesh … '

Lin Xiao almost laughed out loud. Since he was relying on spirit energy to refine his body, then it would be too simple. "Open up the store, hurry up and give me ten kilograms of spirit energy!"

10 Jin of spirit energy was not more than 1 point of avenging value, it could be said to be cheap.

Whoosh!

It was as if a fierce wind was howling, and the spirit energy of heaven and earth between the mountains did not seem to need any money. In an instant, they gathered above the palace and poured towards Lin Xiao!

"What the hell?" The youth that had just left the great hall was completely flabbergasted, but he still had matters to attend to, so he did not return.

Lin Xiao who was in the study room absorbed the spirit energy with all his might, following the guidance, and continuously guided them into the hundred acupoints in his body, releasing it to all parts of his body.

If anyone was present, they would definitely discover that Lin Xiao's entire body was glowing, like a bright little sun.

"Damn, using up ten pounds so quickly?" Another ten catties! "

Lin Xiao's body was like a barren land, hungry and thirsty for spirit energy.

The entire afternoon passed just like this. By the evening, he had already used up fifty kilograms of spiritual energy. Even he himself was a bit afraid of the amount of spiritual energy that had been consumed.

At that time, ten kilograms of spirit energy had allowed Lin Xiao to break through to the perfection stage of the Qi Refining stage. Unexpectedly, after retraining, even a hundred kilograms of spirit energy was not enough to bring his body to the late stage of the Refinement Realm!

Just as he landed on the ground, the youth's voice sounded. "Little slave prisoner, watch how much I love you …"

As he entered the study, the mountain-like herbs he was holding all fell to the floor, his chin unable to close. "You …" Could it be that your aptitude is actually comparable to mine? In just a short afternoon, you have already reached the seventh layer of Body Tempering?! "

This kind of speed is too frightening, but when he heard the youth flatter him at the same time, Lin Xiao was still a little unhappy, "I say, little friend, big brother's strength is not only that, slowly excavating in the future, you will know that some people are born strong."

"En, since that's the case, we should leave these big medicines to those who need them," the teenager said blankly, then he picked up the herbs on the ground, turned around and walked out, "Originally, I wanted to make the big medicines and help you perfect your flaws, but it seems like there's no need!"

Lin Xiao hurried to catch up, and laughed bitterly while licking his lips: "Asgard Mistress, you don't remember this lowly person, I was just joking! What, what kind of medicine is that? "

Unfortunately, the young man did not listen at all. He went straight to the kitchen, washed all the ingredients, and prepared them according to a mysterious medicinal formula. The medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Until the start of next month, when Lin Xiao and Ji Baihua were about to fall asleep, the young man finally walked out with the large bathtub in his arms.

The bathtub was filled with dense steam, just like the clouds in the sky. The extremely dense medicinal fragrance was wafting in the air.

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, but before he could say anything, the youth pushed him to the side: "That little girl, seeing that you have good talent, I'll give you something good."

Even a fool would know that this was a good thing, Lin Xiao was too embarrassed to argue anymore and could only squat down in the corner. After the youth sent the bathtub into the guest room, Ji Baihua closed the door.
