Fantasy: One Effort, Ten Thousand Times Critical Hit Harvest!

Chapter 24: Breakthrough!

Returning to his room,

Luo Mu put the storage ring on his finger.

The ring surprisingly adjusted automatically to fit the size of his finger, which was quite strange.

After acknowledging it with a drop of blood,

his consciousness immediately entered a small space.

As Cheng Qingman had mentioned, it could indeed hold a hundred heads.

The heads of the demonic cultivators had already been placed inside by Cheng Qingman.

“Killing and looting will be much more convenient from now on,” Luo Mu nodded slightly.

He then opened a jade box, revealing a spirit herb that was entirely green and covered in numerous silver stripes, which instantly filled the room with a rich medicinal fragrance.

“Third-grade Silver Stripe Herb.”

A fiery gleam filled Luo Mu’s eyes.

The Silver Stripe Herb had seven leaves,

which were the essence of its medicinal power.

Each leaf had effects far exceeding that of a Breaking Yuan Pill.

Just this one herb was enough for him to break through seven major acupoints!

If he managed to have a few lucky critical hits,

reaching the perfection stage of the True Qi Realm should be a piece of cake.

Luo Mu plucked one leaf and swallowed it.

Boom!

Almost the moment it entered his stomach, the overwhelming medicinal power surged forth like a mighty river.

Even with prior preparation, Luo Mu was still taken aback.

It truly deserved to be a third-grade spirit herb!

With no time to think further, Luo Mu began to absorb the medicinal power, and in a short time, his energy and blood surged violently.

His vitality multiplied by several times!

He could even faintly hear the sound of a roaring river in his veins!

To break through the acupoints,

his own energy and blood had to be incredibly robust. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to breach the acupoint barriers.

The reason Luo Mu was able to break through to the True Qi Realm initially was largely due to that Breaking Yuan Pill.

However, the potency of the Breaking Yuan Pill was no longer sufficient to break through the third major acupoint; now only spirit herbs like the Silver Stripe Herb could do the trick.

“Break!”

Feeling that he was ready, Luo Mu channeled all his energy and blood toward a major acupoint in his right foot.

His energy surged, wild and savage.

With the visible impact of his energy and blood, the barrier of the major acupoint trembled violently, and cracks began to form, piece by piece, peeling away.

Luo Mu patiently awaited the outcome.

About half an hour later—

Crack!

The barrier of the major acupoint finally shattered completely.

A light golden stream of Yuan Chu blood flowed through his body, absorbed by his flesh, significantly enhancing his physical capabilities and the quality of his energy and blood.

Whoosh!

Luo Mu let out a sigh of relief.

He still remembered how simple it had been to break through the first major acupoint; it had been effortless.

The second wasn’t too difficult either.

But now that he had reached the third, he clearly felt the increased difficulty, as evidenced by the time it had taken.

It had taken a full half hour.

If it weren’t for the potent effects of the Silver Stripe Herb, he would likely have failed.

And this was a matter of talent.

The better the talent, the weaker the acupoint barrier, allowing for an easy breakthrough—who would need half an hour?

“The third major acupoint is already this difficult; I can only imagine how hard the next ones will be.”

Luo Mu’s gaze sharpened slightly.

There were indeed spirit items in the world that could improve one’s talent, but they were rare and unpredictable; he had no idea when he might encounter one.

Ding!

“You have worked diligently, consumed spirit herbs, attacked the major acupoint, triggered a critical hit, and received thirty times the rewards!”

Suddenly, a prompt sounded,

and in his mind, he saw a series of thirty successful breakthrough images.

“It’s no big deal if I don’t encounter one; I can just keep trying. I have plenty of chances!”

Luo Mu’s lips curled into a smile.

Thirty times the rewards were equivalent to breaking through thirty times.

As long as his luck wasn’t too bad, if he succeeded just once in those thirty attempts, he would have successfully broken through in reality!

“Next, it’s time to consolidate my realm.”

Luo Mu sat cross-legged.

He lowered his hands and placed them on his abdomen.

The True Qi Realm was quite special; each time one broke through, they needed to spend a certain amount of time consolidating their gains. They had to absorb all the Yuan Chu blood before proceeding to the next stage of breakthroughs.

Five days later,

Luo Mu pushed open the door and stepped out.

He stretched his body, basking in the sunlight.

A smile spread across his face.

The absorption of Yuan Chu blood could be both active and passive, so according to the system’s rules, it also counted as cultivation.

Thus,

it would take ordinary people several months to finish absorbing it all.

But he, with his critical hits, had done it in just a day or two.

Consequently, in these five days, he had broken through two minor realms, successfully reaching the fifth stage of the True Qi Realm!

Whoosh!

Luo Mu casually threw a few punches.

The force of his punches was heavy, as if he were striking underwater, making the surrounding air feel as though it was being pulled.

“In the future, if I have the chance, I should practice a boxing technique,” Luo Mu thought.

His physical body now far surpassed that of other martial artists at the same realm. If he trained in boxing, he would undoubtedly achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Knock, knock, knock!

There was a knock at the courtyard door.

Without needing to think, he knew it was Cheng Qingman.

Opening the door, he was indeed right.

“Rare! You’re actually not practicing,” Cheng Qingman raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

“I haven’t practiced my sword in these past few days,” Luo Mu replied with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Qingman seemed to sense something and gasped in surprise.

Because she had just realized that Luo Mu had actually broken through to the fifth stage of the True Qi Realm!

She remembered he was only at the second stage five days ago!

Was this cultivation speed a bit too absurd?!

“It seems your talent is indeed exceptionally good,” Cheng Qingman swallowed hard.

She was seen as a genius by the world, but each time she broke through a major acupoint, it took her over twenty days to absorb all the Yuan Chu blood.

But Luo Mu?

He could probably do it in a day!

“With sufficient resources, reaching perfection in the True Qi Realm would be a breeze for you,” Cheng Qingman said in shock.

To this, Luo Mu just smiled, not providing further explanation.

Instead, he changed the subject.

“Let’s go; aren’t you taking me to get the spirit sword?”

“Right,” Cheng Qingman nodded, confirming the purpose of her visit.

Today was the day the spirit sword was finished!
