Chapter 239: Chapter 238: Breakthrough, Mid Stage of Meridian Refining! (Please Subscribe)
"So, President," Xu Jie tried to suppress his excitement and said, "Brother Chen’s alchemy skills far surpass even those of the alchemists at the headquarters?"
"Cough, cough."
Sun Wei lightly coughed twice and said, "You could think of it that way. However, these comments should stay within this meeting room, spoken privately, and not be leaked out."
"I understand, I understand." Xu Jie nodded vigorously like a pecking chick.
Who would have thought that the Alchemy Master would be right beside us?
"President, is what you said true? Brother Chen is really willing to make Top-grade Qi Blood Pills for us?"
"Yes, President, did Brother Chen personally say this?"
Everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
Top-grade Qi Blood Pills, how could they not be tempted?
"That’s right."
Sun Wei sighed and said, "Not only did he say it personally, but he also brought it up proactively."
"He brought it up proactively!"
Gao Shan and the others were shocked internally.
"Yes, on the way back, he mentioned it to me. He said, everyone are Martial Artists of the association, and we’re in the same branch, it’s not easy. So, he’s willing to take some time to help everyone."
Sun Wei said.
"Phew..."
Everyone took a deep breath.
"Brother Chen is really a good person, not forgetting us even at this time."
"If I were Brother Chen, I might not be able to achieve this level of selflessness."
"Me too."
While touched, everyone felt a bit ashamed.
"Indeed."
Sun Wei agreed and added, "But you must also know that Brother Chen’s time is limited, so he set a quota—every day, he can refine at most two bottles of Top-grade Qi Blood Pills."
"Two bottles a day?"
Xu Jie was startled but quickly nodded, "Two bottles are already a lot!"
"That’s right, those are Top-grade Qi Blood Pills! Two bottles mean twenty pills. We have six people here, including the President, each can get three to four pills."
"Exactly, the key is two bottles a day. Even taking one pill a day is amazing, plus we can store up a lot."
Everyone became extremely excited.
Other branches, even if they wanted to buy Top-grade Qi Blood Pills, couldn’t get them, let alone having a stockpile.
In Martial Arts, falling behind in one step means falling behind in every step.
By the time the headquarters learns Brother Chen’s pill formula and can mass-produce them, we would have already led by a huge margin.
Sun Wei smiled at the few.
If possible, he truly wished Chen Fan could stay, but it was evidently impossible, so he could only hope for him to stay a little longer.
Treasure this period of time.
...
Time flew by, it was already the afternoon.
The two hundred sets of medicinal materials had all been refined into Qi Blood Pills.
A total of two thousand Qi Blood Pills, more than two hundred and twenty Celestial-grade Qi Blood Pills, slightly above a tenth probability.
Chen Fan kept ten bottles, consumed the rest, and his Potential Points reached an astonishing 2.6 billion!
"Phew..."
He stretched and relaxed his muscles.
Finally done.
The alchemy process was tedious, but the results were delightful.
With over 2 billion Potential Points, creating the fourth meridian pathway would be more than enough.
The fifth meridian, perhaps also feasible?
The sixth, probably challenging.
"Next is breaking through the meridians." Chen Fan’s eyes showed a hint of anticipation as he looked at the attribute panel,
Realm: Early Stage of Meridian Refining (0/6 million)
True Qi: 1395/930 (+50%)
With a thought, he allocated 6 million Potential Points.
Inside his body, a vast torrent of True Qi emerged, powerfully breaking through the first acupoint of the fourth meridian.
[600 million Potential Points consumed, Yin Qiao Meridian’s Ranggu Acupoint unlocked]
[True Qi increased by 40 points]
[Constitution increased by 12 points]
[Power increased by 11 points]
[Agility increased by 10 points]
Several lines of information appeared in his mind.
"40 points of Primordial True Qi."
Chen Fan glanced at it; the boost in physical attributes was decent.
He looked up to see the cost of unlocking the next acupoint in the meridian pathway had increased to 6.5 million Potential Points.
"Fortunately."
He glanced at the remaining huge amount of Potential Points.
Once again, he allocated 6.5 million Potential Points.
[6.5 million Potential Points consumed, Yin Qiao Meridian’s Zhaohai Acupoint unlocked]
[True Qi increased by 41 points]
[Constitution increased by 13 points]
[Power increased by 12 points]
[Agility increased by 13 points]
...
Several breaths later,
The vast True Qi arrived at the last acupoint of the Yin Qiao Meridian.
In the face of such powerful True Qi, the obstruction was like paper, it didn’t last half a second before being breached.
[10 million Potential Points consumed, Yin Qiao Meridian’s Earth Mechanism Acupoint unlocked]
[True Qi increased by 48 points]
[Constitution increased by 12 points]
[Power increased by 11 points]
[Agility increased by 10 points]
Simultaneously, several lines of information appeared again,
[Complete Yin Qiao Meridian pathway unlocked]
[True Qi increase by 60]
[Constitution increased by 12]
[Power increased by 15]
[Agility increased by 16]
"The fourth meridian pathway is unlocked."
Chen Fan smiled. The last acupoint costing exactly 10 million Potential Points, coincidence or not?
He looked at the panel.
Realm: Early Stage of Meridian Refining (0/15 million)
True Qi: 2079/1386 (+50%)
Moreover, a long-missed plus sign appeared beside the realm.
"Finally can level up the realm."
Chen Fan sighed, it was not easy.
He was curious about the effect after the breakthrough.
Would it be similar to before, only boosting four basic physical attributes, or only increasing True Qi amount, or both?
After some hesitation, he decided to break through first.
After all, he had many trump cards now; if encountered danger, using perception to run away would not be difficult.
"Breakthrough stage?"
A line appeared in his mind,
Chen Fan chose yes.
At that moment, a familiar feeling surged.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
The entire world seemed to still, Chen Fan could only hear his heart pounding like a drum. Following that, a large amount of heat flowed through his meridians to every corner of his body, strengthening his skin, muscles, bones, and spirit.
He even felt his True Qi growing stronger.
"Choosing realm breakthrough not only boosts physical attributes but also increases Primordial True Qi!" Chen Fan’s eyes widened in joy.
This was more comprehensive compared to just body refinement or qi refining.
Three to five seconds later, the heat dissipated.
Chen Fan felt drenched like he had taken a bath.
But corresponding to that was an unprecedented sense of power.
Realm: Mid Stage of Meridian Refining (0/15 million)
True Qi: 2495/1663 (+50%)
Level: 28 (0/10 million)
Constitution: 0.82 million
Power: 0.85 million
Agility: 0.66 million
Spirit: 1.56 million
Potential Points: 2 billion
Experience Points: 2000
One breakthrough increased Primordial True Qi from 1386 to 1663, a 20% boost.
Including the cultivation technique’s bonus, Chen Fan’s current total True Qi reached nearly 2500.
Four basic attributes below also rose by 20%.
Spirit attribute’s value was the highest, over 1.5 million, more than ten times the other three attributes.
Chen Fan’s smile widened.
He felt this immense spiritual power, if used with Soul-Annihilating Finger, even a B-level Awakener couldn’t survive?
Unsure if Soul-Annihilating Finger works on Fierce Beasts?
Or if it works on Low-level Fierce Beasts, then what about High-level Fierce Beasts?
It’s said that Commander-level Fierce Beasts have intelligence and can think like humans, perhaps then a spiritual attack could work on them?
Chen Fan nodded, thinking it might be worth a try, but he had to be careful.
As a Martial Artist, his attack methods were bow and arrow, short weapons, fist and kick, using vast True Qi.
As an Awakener, his attack methods were super high speed and invisible Spirit Secret Technique.
In front of people, unless necessary, he shouldn’t mix methods, otherwise, getting exposed would be awkward.
Again looking at Constitution, Power, Agility—these basic attributes, Chen Fan felt quite satisfied.
Take power, 8000 points, 800 times a normal person, pure muscle strength reaching 80,000 catties.
Add Martial Technique [Burst], easily reaching 400,000 to 500,000 catties, 200,000 tons power!
Generally, an elite-level Fierce Beast, weighing 200-300 tons, speed at 1000 meters per second, impact force of 200-300,000 tons.
Basically, his full-strength punch matched the strongest hit of an elite-level Fierce Beast.
Up against an Awakener with protective gear against elite-level Fierce Beasts, Chen Fan could break through their shield with a few punches!
"I feel like continuing to enhance the body."
Chen Fan thought.
Now each acupoint breakthrough needs 15 million Potential Points, but to level up to 29 costs only 10 million Potential Points.
Which is more cost-effective, clearly visible.
With a thought, Chen Fan allocated 10 million Potential Points just to see the cost for next level enhancement.
The familiar heat surged from the heart again.
Unlike before, there was little movement of True Qi internally.
After a few seconds, the heat receded quickly.
Level: 29 (0/100 million)
Constitution: 0.98 million
Power: 1.02 million
Agility: 0.79 million
Spirit: 1.87 million
Like before, all four attributes rose by 20%.
But the next enhancement cost increased tenfold, from 10 million to 100 million Potential Points.
"..."
Chen Fan smiled wryly.
He thought he could enhance the body several times, now it was clear, with current Potential Points, only one more enhancement was possible.
And at this rate, enhancing to level 30 would need 1 billion Potential Points...
"Seems breakthrough is more cost-effective."
He glanced at the realm section.
Then let’s continue, until the point refining Qi consumes more than 1 billion Potential Points, then flip to body enhancement.
Noting few enhancement attempts, yet with a large base...
Later stages might enhance several thousand points, far beyond the initial low-level enhancement.
