Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 1031 - 440: Body Refining Breaks Through Fourth Rank Upper Grade; Soaring Dragon Art Transforms (2)

He calculated internally, "With this pill's assistance, provided the method is appropriate, elevating the dragon might to the Senior Fourth Rank Upper Grade level should not be a significant issue."

"Furthermore... by utilizing this pill's power and refining my body repeatedly, I might be able to gradually temper my physique to truly achieve the Fourth Rank Upper Grade level."

This thought brought a natural, satisfied smile to Xu Ping's face.

The resources available within the True Dragon Hall were indeed profoundly immense.

It was no wonder that most high-ranking members of the Demon Race appeared complacent; with such abundant resources and potent bloodline talents, it was certainly enough for them to cultivate safely to realms that ordinary cultivators found exceedingly difficult to attain.

Nevertheless, Xu Ping did not impulsively consume the pill.

He carefully placed the Dragon Essence Blood Tempering Pill back into its container and shifted his attention to the Wisdom Initiation Pearl.

This pearl was a peculiar treasure designed to aid in cultivation, and it first required refinement to unlock its subtle effects of enhancing perception.

Taking a steadying breath, Xu Ping focused his intent and formed a hand seal. Pure mana flowed from his Divine Sense, slowly permeating the Wisdom Initiation Pearl.

The pearl vibrated subtly, its surface shimmering with a flowing brilliance, while the wisdom essence within began to resonate with Xu Ping's Divine Sense.

This intricate process continued for a full day.

The precise moment Xu Ping's Divine Sense successfully imprinted itself, establishing a deep connection with the Wisdom Initiation Pearl—

"Buzz!"

A clear and gentle coolness, akin to a flowing spring stream, quietly permeated the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

Instantly, Xu Ping felt as though his thoughts had been cleansed, becoming significantly clearer and sharper.

Aspects of cultivation that had previously seemed obscure and challenging now appeared much more structured, with his thoughts moving with remarkable speed.

"Its effects are quite remarkable."

Xu Ping carefully savored this wondrous sensation, his eyes suddenly gleaming with realization.

This was merely the initial refinement and the establishment of a connection, the prelude to a subtle yet long-term enhancement.

One could only imagine the immense benefits that prolonged use of this pearl would bestow upon his understanding of the Sword Dao, his deductions in Puppetry, and more...

His confidence in his future progress on the Sword Dao path grew exponentially.

Xu Ping kept the Wisdom Initiation Pearl close, allowing its gentle coolness to continuously nurture his Sea of Consciousness.

He then commenced his meditation, circulating his Cultivation Technique to recuperate the mana and Divine Sense depleted from his encounter with the Old Devil of the Hehuan Sect and his arduous journey.

Even the brief confrontation with a Divinity Transformation being had served as an extreme trial, tempering his spirit and extracting a significant amount of his mana.

....

Half a month later.

Xu Ping's condition had returned to its absolute peak, his spirit was fully restored, and furthermore, due to the intense grinding from the great battle and the continuous nourishment from the Wisdom Initiation Pearl, there was even a faint trace of improvement.

The time was ripe.

He once again retrieved the Jade Bottle, poured out a Dragon Essence Blood Tempering Pill, and without a moment's hesitation, ingested it.

As the pill settled in his stomach, it felt as though he had swallowed a miniature sun.

Boom!

The formidable medicinal power, vast as the ocean and scorching like magma, erupted instantaneously.

The pure Dragon Essence and the immense Qi Blood Power surged and coursed wildly through his limbs, bones, meridians, and acupoints like an untamed stallion.

This force was incomparably domineering, imbued with the untamed majesty of a true dragon, a power that could instantly rupture the meridians of a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a less robust physique, possibly even leading to bodily explosion.

However, Xu Ping's body, meticulously tempered over countless years and especially enriched by the prior consumption of Dragon Blood Fruit, was already extraordinarily resilient.

His face flushed crimson, the veins on his surface bulged like coiled dragons, and faint golden runes flickered beneath his skin as he forcefully endured the first wave of this fiercest medicinal power impact.

He dared not slacken, immediately employing the special skill recorded within the jade slip gifted by Ao Guang Dragon King to guide this violent medicinal power.

Xu Ping concentrated his Divine Sense, meticulously directing the scattered and surging Dragon Yuan Qi Blood Power, carefully threading it into designated meridian pathways for slow circulation throughout his body.

Concurrently, he focused on refining the Dragon Might Source that was now deeply integrated within his bloodline, as well as his flesh and bones.

This process was agonizingly painful, akin to being submerged in a furnace, repeatedly forged by immense, unyielding force.

Yet, Xu Ping's resolve remained unshakeable, as firm as iron, maintaining absolute clarity of mind while silently enduring it all.

Day after day, as time marched on, the furnace-like energy surrounding him steamed with Qi Blood, and a low, guttural dragon roar could vaguely be heard emanating from Xu Ping's body.

A month later.

Xu Ping's eyes slowly fluttered open, a sharp brilliance flashing within their depths, akin to the fleeting shadow of a majestic dragon.

He let out a lengthy exhalation, a breath imbued with noticeable heat and a subtle draconic aura.

A careful assessment of his condition brought a smile of satisfaction to his face.

"The results are remarkable!"

Inside him, his Qi and Blood had seen significant augmentation and purification. While still shy of a Fourth Rank Upper Grade physique, his foundation had become increasingly robust, and his future path was now clearly illuminated.

However, the most profound transformation stemmed from the Dragon Might, awakened by his consumption of the Dragon Blood Fruit.

The Dragon Might, which had only just brushed against the Fourth Rank Upper Grade threshold previously, had now solidified, exuding a weighty pressure, nearly reaching the Fourth Rank Upper Grade level.

"A truly excellent pill!"

Xu Ping declared his sincere appreciation.

The efficacy of the Dragon Essence Blood Tempering Pill indeed surpassed that of the Dragon Blood Fruit, particularly in its targeted enhancement of Dragon Might.

"What a shame..."

Xu Ping mused, holding the Jade Bottle, which still contained nine pills. "This pill must be an incredibly valuable commodity to the True Dragon Hall. Bestowing ten upon me is already exceedingly generous."

....

A year elapsed with astonishing speed.

On this particular day, the glow of Qi Blood emanating from within the cave intensified to an unparalleled degree, resembling a colossal cocoon of blood.

Visible upon the surface of this sanguineous cocoon were distinct dark golden dragon patterns, radiating a majestic aura that stirred the very soul.

"Boom!"

A resounding explosion echoed from the depths of the blood cocoon.
