Chapter 63: Muscle and Marrow Cleansing!

Time passed, and it was now the third day after the Wing-claw Stone Vulture air raid on the Territory.

After the air raid, the Crimson Territory suffered varying degrees of damage. However, by today, most of the damaged areas had been cleaned and repaired, with almost no traces of the bombardment by rock cannonballs left to be seen.

In the early morning, the sky was gloomy and not yet fully bright. Most of the laborers were still asleep. Chen Chong finished his night watch, walked out of the Power Station gate, stretched his muscles and bones, and walked alone on the quiet road.

At this moment, if one looked carefully, one could discern that Chen Chong’s physique now seemed faintly larger than a few days ago. His originally slightly thin chest and arms had all begun to swell, and even his height seemed to have suddenly shot up by two or three centimeters, already exceeding 1.8 meters!

This was the effect of Chen Chong’s cultivation of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art over just three short days.

Unlike the Refining Essence into Qi of the Ultimate Infinite Qigong, the cultivation of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art relied on the cultivator’s own True Qi. The higher the quality and quantity of the True Qi, the faster and better the effect of tempering one’s muscles, bones, flesh, blood, and internal organs.

And the True Qi condensed by the Ultimate Infinite Qigong, which was rated a full two ranks higher than the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, was undoubtedly of extremely high quality. Unknowingly, it actually made Chen Chong’s Body Tempering Iron Body cultivation yield twice the result with half the effort. His muscles strengthened, his bones grew, and in a short time, his body underwent changes akin to a second growth spurt!

The changes did not stop there. Now, within Chen Chong’s body, the Ultimate True Qi was almost distributed throughout his entire body. As it circulated, it surged like a rushing river, and compared to three days ago, it had once again experienced a tremendous increase of several times!

This almost cheat-like cultivation speed was naturally due to the miraculous effect of the Electrotherapy method, which extracted electric currents for cultivation.

In these three days, apart from eating, Chen Chong did not leave his room. He cultivated until the darkness of night fell outside his window before stopping. Then he would rush without stopping to the Power Station, cultivating while keeping night watch. And late at night, when Old Xu was sound asleep, he secretly connected to the circuit and immediately began his Electrotherapy cultivation.

As the Ultimate True Qi in his body grew stronger and stronger, coupled with the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art’s tempering of his physique, his body became increasingly robust, and the time he could endure Electrotherapy also saw considerable growth. At first, he could only hold on for less than forty minutes. Now, his endurance easily exceeded one hour. And the effect brought by each Electrotherapy session was comparable to Chen Chong’s own step-by-step cultivation for more than half a month, or even a full month, without sleep or rest!

At this stage, the momentum of the True Qi in Chen Chong’s body, revolving around his Dantian in a spiraling coil, became faster and more ferocious. In a meditative state, he could even faintly sense sparks of electric light flashing out from the spiral circulation of True Qi, seemingly developing towards the true Current Push realm.

However, the only downside was that with the increase in his cultivation, Chen Chong’s appetite had grown much larger now. The food provided by the Territory was simply not enough for digestion, and he was in a state of hunger almost every moment. If not for the nightly Electrotherapy providing a large amount of electrical energy conversion, his relentless cultivation would not only have little effect but might actually refine him into a dried-up husk.

“Soon… I am not far from the basic stage of Current Push.”

Walking alone on the road, Chen Chong let out a long breath of stale air, his mood exceptionally joyful.

Current Push was the basic stage of the Ultimate Infinite Qigong, with the measurement standard being Volts. When the cultivator’s True Qi could generate an electric current, and the pressure or quality of that current reached ten thousand volts, one would have truly reached this realm.

And only from this step onward could one truly be considered to have stepped onto the threshold of cultivating the Ultimate Infinite Qigong.

Now, under the guidance and stimulation of Electrotherapy, Chen Chong’s True Qi circulation could already generate sparks of electric light. It seemed that generating a true electric current was not far off.

“Unfortunately, there’s no way to test it now. I wonder what level my strength has reached? Once I reach Current Push, then…”

Although he was advancing by leaps and bounds with the aid of Electrotherapy, Chen Chong had been cultivating single-mindedly, and there was no opportunity in the Territory to show or test his strength, leaving him somewhat unsure what level his power had reached.

However, a feeling from his body, imbued with a sense of immense power, allowed Chen Chong to roughly determine that in terms of pure strength, he probably would not be weaker than any Awakener in the Territory, not even the seemingly strongest Tie Shan!

This also meant that once he truly stepped into the Current Push stage, Chen Chong’s power would inevitably surge again, and he would truly possess the capital to contend against the Blood General!

Deep in thought along the way, Chen Chong had already returned to his own room.

He closed the door tightly, sat cross-legged on the bed board, and did not immediately begin cultivation. Instead, he connected his consciousness to the Main God in his mind and received a feedback message: Materialization Power Reserve: 1587.

Through Electrotherapy current charging and his own cultivation charging, the Main God Materialization Power had reached 1587 units!

Chen Chong then focused his attention on the item list:

Muscle and Marrow Cleansing Pill: Rank D+. Originating from various Xianxia dimensions. Effect: Cleanses muscles and marrow, expels body impurities, changes the user’s constitution, grants cultivation aptitude, and slightly increases the user’s lifespan. (1587/1500)

“Cleansing muscles and marrow, expelling body impurities…”

Chen Chong’s heart became extremely calm.

“If facing a strong enemy like the Blood General, although the Senzu Bean’s effect is miraculous, the gap between him and me is too large. Even with an extra life, the chance of turning the tables is very slim.”

“And now I am not far from Current Push. What is most useful to me is actually the Muscle and Marrow Cleansing Pill.”

“For me, the biggest threat right now is the Blood General. What I should do is advance bravely and vigorously, striving to step into Current Push as quickly as possible, not looking ahead and behind!”

In a flash, Chen Chong made his decision and resolutely issued a command to the Main God.

“Redeem, Muscle and Marrow Cleansing Pill!”

Buzz!

The familiar feeling of soul detachment flickered and vanished. The sight before his eyes seemed to twist. A pill the size of a longan eye appeared in the air without any warning and immediately fell into Chen Chong’s hand.

The pill in his hand was entirely lustrous, emitting a refreshing and heart-soothing fragrance. A single whiff made one feel as if their whole body lightened, completely relaxed. It was naturally the Muscle and Marrow Cleansing Pill exchanged for a full 1500 Materialization Power.

Chen Chong only examined it for a moment, then without any hesitation, put it into his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and sat silently cross-legged, waiting for the medicinal effect to take hold.

Moments later, a violent torrent of medicinal heat suddenly surged fiercely from Chen Chong’s abdomen, forming a blazing flame like an illusory burn, beginning to sear every inch of his flesh and blood!
