The Nether Lion carried Wang Zhan and quickly traveled through the forest, gradually approaching the Central Region. Wang Zhan's journey on the other side was bumpy. His already painful chest became even more uncomfortable under this trembling. He had wanted to stop the Nether Lion, but he could only take deep breaths.
In less than an hour, the Nether Lion finally stopped in front of a cave. Judging from the smell coming from the cave, this was clearly the netherworld lion's lair.
The Netherworld Lion stopped at the entrance of the cave for a moment before leading Wang Zhan in without any explanation. Wang Zhan, who was originally worried that it would be a little crowded, entered the cave and realized that it was actually a different world inside. Although the entrance of the cave looked small, it was not a problem to accommodate a man and a lion.
Wang Zhan got down from the Netherworld Lion and sat on the ground. He began to circulate his spiritual energy. A little bit of spiritual energy was absorbed into Wang Zhan's body and began to stimulate the formation of these bone cells. His ribs were also slowly recovering.
"Big brother Xuanyuan, I'm preparing to heal now. If there's any trouble, please wake me up.”Although this fellow did not seem to be harmful during his contact with the Hell Lion for the past few days, Wang Zhan still asked Xuanyuan Hao for help out of fear of the demonic beasts.
"Don't worry, this stupid guy looks like he's only a few decades old. According to your calculations, he's even a little younger than you.”Xuanyuan Hao naturally knew what Wang Zhan meant, so he explained it to him. It was also equivalent to giving Wang Zhan a shot in the arm.
Relieved, Wang Zhan began to devote himself to cultivating and healing his injuries. He did not even know that the Nether Lion had left. At this time, Wang Zhan was also very surprised. He did not know why, but after being seriously injured, his spiritual power actually circulated more smoothly. Suddenly, when the spiritual power flowed to his waist, a barrier like a city wall blocked the path of the spiritual power.
Sensing this sudden barrier, not only did Wang Zhan not feel surprised, but he also became excited in his heart. Presumably, this was the only meridian among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians that was horizontal-the Dai Meridian.
Ever since Body Tempering Stage Two, every advancement was a process of opening up the meridians. There were eight Meridians, namely the Finger Governor Meridian, Conception Meridian, Chong Meridian, Dai Meridian, Yang Wei Meridian, Yin Wei Meridian, Yin Heel Meridian and Yang Heel Meridian. Up until now, Wang Zhan had already successfully opened up the Yin Heel Meridian, Yang Heel Meridian, and Chong Meridian. And now, he was facing the test of Tempered Body Level 5.
If he could break through this barrier, then Wang Zhan would be able to successfully reach the mid-stage of Tempered Body Level Five. If he could successfully break through, then he would be able to reach Tempered Body Level Six in one fell swoop and attack the next meridian.
Although the door to the middle stage of Body Tempering Stage Five was right in front of him, Wang Zhan had tried several times but still failed. Wang Zhan was also very speechless in his heart. Under normal circumstances, the meridians were usually from top to bottom. However, this meridian was good. It directly circled around the stomach. Just like that, it made the difficulty increase by a lot.
However, although he had not succeeded, Wang Zhan did not give up. This was only the fifth layer of Body Tempering. Whoever tried to stop him, he would break through!
Spiritual Energy continued to gather. Wang Zhan also tried again and again, but the door with the meridians seemed to have been sealed. No matter how much Spiritual Energy attacked, it stood there without moving at all.
The afternoon passed just like that. Wang Zhan unwillingly withdrew from his cultivation. Although Wang Zhan did not say anything, the expression on his face and even his eyes showed that he was unable to hide his disappointment.
It seemed that he had not mobilized enough spiritual power. Thinking of how Qin Langtian and the others all had all kinds of resources for cultivation, Wang Zhan also sighed. He had to take things one step at a time when it came to cultivation. Although he had already touched the threshold, there were still more than three days until the day of his breakthrough. Moreover, with his current state, he might have to delay it by a few days.
However, Wang Zhan immediately laughed.
"I'm really going back in time. It's been five years. Why would I be conflicted over these few days?”
When he came back to his senses, Wang Zhan realized that he was the only one left in the entire cave. "Big brother Xuanyuan, why don't we see the Hell Lion?"”
"That stupid guy ran out by himself not long after you started cultivating. I don't know what he went to do, but he probably went out to play.”Xuanyuan Hao said nonchalantly. After all, ordinary magical beasts wouldn't dare to get close to this Hell Lion.
Wang Zhan stretched his waist. The pain in his chest was no longer as obvious as before. If he held on a little more, he should be able to recover the day after tomorrow. This was also a rare good thing for Wang Zhan. Wang Zhan, who was in a better mood, leaned against the wall and slowly got up. Then, he walked toward the cave entrance.
After staying in this cave for too long, he had to go out and breathe some fresh air.
Just as he reached the entrance of the cave, Wang Zhan saw a familiar figure running towards him. Although it was late, the red shadow was particularly obvious.
As the Netherworld Lion got closer and closer, Wang Zhan saw that this little guy was actually holding a branch in its mouth. There was actually a red fruit on the branch.
"Yo, I didn't expect this Nether Lion to know how to pick fruits for me. I'm also hungry.”Wang Zhan looked at the red fruit and could not help but rub his stomach as he said. It wasn't that Wang Zhan was a glutton. These few days, other than the Sand Scorpion he encountered at the beginning, he hadn't seen anything else. He was already hungry.
The Netherworld Lion quickly ran in front of Wang Zhan and placed the fruit on the ground. It even kicked it with its claws. From the looks of it, it seemed to be urging Wang Zhan to eat faster.
"So you went to look for food. I was wondering why I didn't see you after I finished cultivating.”Wang Zhan stroked the Nether Lion and prepared to lower his body to pick up the fruits on the ground.
When Wang Zhan really saw this fruit up close, he realized how stupid his thoughts were. What kind of fruit was that? It was clearly a third-grade spirit fruit that was hard to come by with a huge sum of money-Scarlet Blood Fruit.
The conditions for the growth of this fruit were extremely harsh. It required the blood essence of a magical beast of the Second Stage or above to grow and bear fruit. The blood essence of a magical beast was extremely precious. The blood essence of a magical beast could only support one fruit.
He did not expect the Netherworld Lion to find such a rare spiritual fruit so easily. The doubts in Wang Zhan's heart became even heavier. What kind of secret was hidden on the Netherworld Lion?
Looking at the Crimson Blood Fruit in his hand, Wang Zhan finally divided it into two halves. After all, this was found by the Netherworld Lion. It was already very good that it was given to him. He could not bully it because it was stupid.
However, how could Wang Zhan have expected that this Netherworld Lion actually did not even look at the Scarlet Blood Fruit. It walked straight to its nest and began to sleep.
"Alright, I was thinking too much."
After saying that, Wang Zhan picked up the Blood Red Fruit and followed him into the cave. With the help of the third-grade spirit fruit, breaking through to the middle-stage fifth level was already not a problem for Wang Zhan.
Without any hesitation, after adjusting his condition, Wang Zhan directly consumed the Blood Red Fruit. The moment the Blood Red Fruit entered his stomach, spiritual energy swept through Wang Zhan's body like a ferocious beast. Perhaps due to the influence of the blood essence of the demonic beast, the spiritual energy in the Scarlet Blood Fruit was also wreaking havoc like a demonic beast. Even his meridians began to show signs of swelling and pain, and were even about to explode.
Wang Zhan secretly thought that something was wrong and hurriedly urged his spiritual power to suppress the spiritual power filling his meridians. Although the effect was minimal, the burden on his meridians was no longer too great to bear. After controlling it, Wang Zhan began to guide the spiritual power to attack the meridians. With the help of the Blood Red Fruit, Wang Zhan was confident that he could succeed within three attempts.
However, what Wang Zhan did not expect was that the violent spiritual energy in the Scarlet Blood Fruit was simply irresistible. In just a moment, it was directly washed away by the spiritual energy. The moment the Meridian Gate opened, Wang Zhan's aura began to climb, instantly reaching the mid-stage of Body Tempering Stage Five.
After opening the door, the violent spiritual energy did not stop and continued to wash, as if it wanted to open up the entire meridian in one breath. Unfortunately, no matter how Wang Zhan guided it, he could only open up half of the meridians. The remaining half did not move at all.
Although he didn't succeed, Wang Zhan didn't force it. After opening half of his meridians, he had already reached the late stage of tempered body fifth layer. Jumping two levels in a row was probably an unprecedented existence in the entire Qingshan Town. Because he had used up more than half of his spiritual power to attack the meridians, a large portion of it still remained in Wang Zhan's body.
Wang Zhan no longer guided this portion of spiritual energy and allowed it to shuttle through his body to strengthen himself. This tempering lasted for an entire night.
On this night, Wang Zhan finally stopped his cultivation at the middle stage of the tempered body fifth layer. He knew that although he could use the power of the Blood Red Fruit to increase his cultivation, it would damage his foundation. This was the most taboo thing for a spirit cultivator. Wang Zhan would not try to pull up seedlings to help them grow. Therefore, although it was very cruel, Wang Zhan still made up his mind to suppress his realm. In addition to this matter, there was another thing that made Wang Zhan extremely happy. That was, after the spiritual energy explosion yesterday, the injury had actually recovered.
"This Scarlet Blood Fruit is indeed powerful. In terms of spiritual power alone, even the Bonebreaking Grass from before can't be compared to it.”Wang Zhan thought to himself. He turned around and saw that the Nether Lion was still sleeping. He secretly cursed at the lazy pig.
However, if Wang Zhan knew about the cultivation of magical beasts, he would not have said that. There were several Spiritual Energy torrents washing over the Nether Lion's body, and such a deep sleep was very common in the magical beast world.
After tasting the taste of the third-grade spirit fruit, Wang Zhan was also deeply immersed in it. Thus, he left the cave early in the morning and began to search outside.
The moment he stepped out of the cave, his spiritual power quickly spread out to the surroundings.
