After cultivating for the past three years, it was the first time that Lin Xuan could relax and enjoy cultivation without being met with difficulties at every step of the way.

With the doors and windows closed, Lin Xuan dragged over a cushion and sat down crossed-legged on the ground.

He took out his jade bottle and poured out nine Purifying Essence Pills.

To break through his bottleneck situation, it could be said that Lin Xuan worked very hard for it. Yesterday, he went to the Medicinal Pavilion and glanced through some books. Since he now did not lack pills, he wanted to understand if there would be any negative effects from taking too many pills, or if there was a limit to how many can be taken.

A clear understanding of this issue was required, otherwise, after eating a lot of pills, he might come to regret it. 

Reading the book on pills, in the first line in the Compounded Pill Illustration, Lin Xuan saw a row of introductions: Purifying Essence Pills, the lowest level pills, the most common of Spirit Medicine, can increase the amount of spiritual power. No more than nine should be taken per day.

What would happen after nine, the book did not say, but this description was already sufficient enough to Lin Xuan.

He just needed to know the maximum dose of the pill that he could take. Lin Xuan once again poured out the nine pills from the jade bottle, and carefully put them into his mouth. Then, he began to circulate the spiritual power to attack the second layer.

The pills quickly spread into his limbs.

Boom!

A boundless heat flew out from his Dantian through the various passages through which spiritual power passed, making Lin Xuan feel as if he was in a furnace.

In the blink of an eye, his whole body was wet with sweat. Moreover, the heat flowing through him was constantly increasing rather than cooling down.

Previously, when taking the Purifying Essence Pills, this never happened. Is the book wrong? Maybe I shouldn’t have taken so many at once.

Lin Xuan’s mind flashed through several thoughts, but rather than panicking, he decided to calmly deal with this unexpected accident.

Although the heat was quickly becoming unbearable, due to Lin Xuan’s experience in the inner area,  it was still not at a level to worry him. Gritting his teeth, he ignored the heat and allowed it to freely move through his limbs while keeping his focus on his Dantian. So long as he maintained his will, there shouldn’t be any surprises.

Lin Xuan was eventually proven correct, as, after two hours, the heat began to gradually weaken into a warm feeling that was spread all over.

At the same time, the spiritual power in his Dantian began to change, just as if it was absorbing nutrients, it showed boundless growth. Looking at just the volume, it was twice as large as it was previously

Lin Xuan’s ability with spiritual power also increased. Previously, whenever he circulated through his meridians it was difficult, and the spiritual power flowed slowly, but that is no longer the case.

The situation was better than imagined, but Lin Xuan maintained his patience. After all, this time Lin Xuan has entered the most critical phase. Lin Xuan’s face quickly becomes motionless, fully focusing on his cultivation.

Ping, a light sound rang out, sounding as if something broke. In his Dantian, all the spiritual power immediately became unstable. Although it can be said to be a rapid transformation, using the Spiritual Sense, it can be observed as a change in the color of the spiritual power. From Spirit Condensation first layer to the second layer, although it only one step, it is a qualitative change.

After breaking through to the second layer, Lin Xuan immediately felt different from his past self. The spiritual power in his Dantian has also greatly improved in both quality and quantity.

Although Lin Xuan was happy, his expression was still calm. As the result was entirely within his expectations. With the support of so many pills, if he had still been unable to break through it, would have been strange.

The results this time proved that using pills could really overcome the problem of not having Spiritual Roots, thus boosting Lin Xuan’s confidence as a cultivator.

After carefully understanding a bit about the second layer of the Spirit Condensation stage and experiencing the differences, Lin Xuan began to plan for the future. Although he had a lot of time, his current cultivation was still far below that of the other disciples, and he must catch up.

Also, the stuff that he got from Zhou Yan and Zhang Yu was unable to be used below the fourth layer, and he could only look at it enviously. So for now, the only thing he could do was rapidly increase his strength.

Thinking through all this, Lin Xuan sat down again, ready to inspect his current physical condition to see if his current situation requires any changes to his future training plans.

It was then that Lin Xuan had an unexpected discovery.

Looking at the changes in his Dantian, Lin Xuan noticed that the blue lights have also become bigger and brighter along with the spiritual power. How?

Lin Xuan began to wonder if the blue lights would grow along with his cultivation level. The higher his cultivation the stronger the blue lights.

This inference on the surface may seem strange, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable, and would even solve a problem that Lin Xuan had been worrying about.

The first of which was the speed, although the blue lights recover after consumption, it would still take some time, and after all, was not conducive to purifying a large number of pills. Previously, the blue lights were only able to purify two pills in a row, but now that the blue lights have doubled in size, four in a row should not be a problem.

The second was for the long term, as according to Lin Xuan’s guess, since the blue lights can purify Purifying Essence Pills, it should also be able to purify other types of pills.

Purifying Essence Pills were the lowest level of pills, and relatively speaking, had few steps to its creation. So its impurities were also less, but the other more advanced pills had more complicated impurities and thus would consume even more of the blue lights. If the blue lights had stayed the same size, they might not have been able to support the purification of a single pill.

Lin Xuan has also tested and found that the purification can not be interrupted, otherwise the result will be a failure. Although Lin Xuan didn’t pay much thought to that problem, for now, he never would have expected that the solution would be so easy.

If his guess was correct, then the blue lights will grow along with his spiritual power.

Of course, if this was not the case, then it will take time to confirm that if there were any other ways to enhance the blue lights and allow them to grow.
