The heavy alloy gate slowly closed, completely sealing off all light and sound from the outside world.
This would be Qin Feng’s entire world for the next three years.
On his face, there wasn’t a hint of hesitation at the prospect of facing tedious, arduous cultivation. Instead, it burned with an almost frenzied fervor.
He neatly stacked the massive amount of resources he had just redeemed in a corner of the quiet chamber.
Seventy [Special Grade Spiritual Energy Potions], each sealed in an individual thermo-baric tube. A pale golden liquid flowed slowly inside, emitting a heart-pounding fluctuation of Spiritual Energy.
Twenty-four [Type I Enhanced Deep Repair Medicated Bath Packages], vacuum-compressed into dark green bricks, their surfaces engraved with complex Spiritual Energy circuits.
Thirteen [Type I Enhanced Mental Power Recovery Potions]. Within their slender tubes was a deep, mysterious blue liquid, like a miniature galaxy.
"Let’s begin."
Qin Feng sat down cross-legged.
He twisted open the cap of the first [Special Grade Spiritual Energy Potion], tilted his head back, and downed the Spiritual Energy liquid in one gulp—a Potion worth ten Contribution Points, enough to drive any low-level Martial Artist mad.
BOOM—!
A terrifying energy—violent, scorching, as if it would incinerate his very organs—instantly exploded within his body!
He grit his teeth against the searing pain, as if he were being immolated, and focused his consciousness inward. Using the "Great Sun Visualization Method" to concentrate his Will, he precisely guided the rampaging torrent of energy in a fearless assault against the barrier of the twenty-fifth Great Sun Acupoint he had long since targeted.
THUD! THUD! THUD!
Each impact was like a battering ram violently smashing against a colossal city wall.
His body trembled violently. Fine beads of blood seeped from his skin, and a tearing sensation, as if his meridians were being overloaded, shot through him.
This was the most fundamental law of the Martial Dao—to be broken and then rebuilt.
However, this "breaking" was far more violent than any he had experienced before!
Just from assaulting a single Acupoint, the rate at which hidden injuries accumulated in his body was nearly equal to the total from assaulting three Acupoints in the past.
But Qin Feng’s eyes remained as tranquil as an ancient well.
When the energy from the first wave of impact was depleted, he immediately tossed the prepared [Type I Enhanced Deep Repair Medicated Bath Package] into the tub beside him.
HISSS—
The dark green brick dissolved instantly upon contact with water, dyeing the entire pool of clear water an emerald green teeming with vibrant life force.
He stepped in without hesitation. The warm liquid enveloped his body, and streams of pure, potent restorative energy, like a billion gentle hands, began to rapidly mend the minute damage caused by the violent assault.
He could clearly "see" the damaged meridian walls and exhausted cells being soothed, nourished, and strengthened at a visible rate.
Immediately after, he drank a [Type I Enhanced Mental Power Recovery Potion].
A cool stream flowed down his throat and straight into his mind, instantly sweeping away the mental fatigue caused by directing the violent energy.
His thoughts became unprecedentedly clear and sharp. From a god-like perspective, he perfectly controlled every cycle of "breaking" and "rebuilding" within his body.
"So... that’s how it is..."
A flash of understanding crossed Qin Feng’s eyes.
’Simply "breaking" is too inefficient.’
’After every assault, I need a lot of time to wait for my physical body to recover naturally. That process wastes at least half the time.’
’But with these "enhanced" recovery resources... the transition between "breaking" and "rebuilding" can be almost seamless!’
’It’s like just as I break down a corner of the city wall, logistical support immediately repairs it to be even stronger than before. Then, I can immediately launch the next, even fiercer assault!’
This was no longer the "piecemeal tactic" of fighting in fits and starts as he had in the past.
Having figured this out, the corners of Qin Feng’s mouth curved into an almost cruel arc.
"Crazy" and "resolute" had never been missing from his vocabulary.
Time flowed on; the sun and moon passed in silence.
Inside the quiet chamber, there was no distinction between day and night. The only clock was the ever-dwindling pile of resources in the corner.
Here, time had lost all meaning.
Qin Feng had completely transformed into a cold, precise cultivation machine.
His life was simplified into three endlessly repeating steps:
Devour a [Special Grade Spiritual Energy Potion] and, in the most violent manner possible, assault the next Great Sun Acupoint.
The instant his body reached its limit, immerse himself in a [Type I Enhanced Deep Repair Medicated Bath] to repair and strengthen his damaged physical form with maximum efficiency.
The moment his mind felt fatigued, drink a [Type I Enhanced Mental Power Recovery Potion] to face the next assault with the clearest possible mind.
「Year One.」
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened the 30th Great Sun Acupoint!]
["Great Sun Acupoint Opening Method" proficiency +300!]
Qin Feng’s body jolted. A surge of Spiritual Energy, far more vast than before, gushed out from the newly opened Acupoint and flowed into every part of his body.
He could feel his strength, speed, and even the vitality of his cells ascend to a whole new level.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the corner, where nearly a third of the resources were gone. Without the slightest pause, he twisted open the cap of the next Spiritual Energy Potion.
「Year Two.」
[Congratulations! You have successfully opened the 40th Great Sun Acupoint!]
["Great Sun Acupoint Opening Method" proficiency +500!]
Within the quiet chamber, a faint golden halo had, at some point, appeared around Qin Feng’s body.
