Chapter 254: Chapter 123: The Ninefold Thunder Shock Saber Breaks the Limit! A Storm Is Coming to Cyan Yang Ancient City

Only an Elixir like the Thunder God Body Tempering Pill could possibly further his Vajra Undying Body.

Chu Fan poured the last Elixir into his left palm.

The Elixir felt slightly heavy in his hand, warm to the touch, yet it also carried a peculiar numbing sensation, like holding a small, condensed ball of lightning. The thunder patterns on his palm even glowed faintly in response.

He knew this Elixir contained a sliver of Celestial Thunder Essence Qi, capable of tempering his muscles and bones, strengthening his foundation, and even allowing him to accumulate a faint Thunder Force. His future attacks would carry that much more power.

Chu Fan tilted his head back and tossed the Elixir into his mouth.

The Elixir melted the moment it entered his mouth, without a hint of bitterness. Instead, it was like swallowing a mouthful of scorching thunder and fire!

A violent torrent of thunder instantly erupted, surging down his throat and straight into every limb and bone!

CRACKLE!

Blinding thunder-light burst from every pore on his body. Faint purple arcs of electricity wrapped around him, and his hair stood on end as if he had been struck by lightning.

Dense thunder patterns surfaced on his skin, with currents of electricity coursing between them. Even his coarse cloth robes vibrated faintly from the charge.

The medicinal power from the two pills he had taken earlier today, along with the Thunder Force accumulated from the previous eight, was now drawn out by this final one. It all converged into a torrent inside his body, surging relentlessly.

Chu Fan opened his palm, watching the fine, white serpents of electricity crackle and dance upon it while he silently gauged the commotion inside his body. ’If it were an ordinary Martial Artist in the Entering the Realm of Strength, they would have died long ago from shattered meridians and an exploding body after swallowing nine of these potent elixirs in three days.’

Yet he only felt... ’The medicinal power is still a little weak.’

Nine Thunder God Body Tempering Pills were worth a fortune, but after consuming all of them, the improvement to his Vajra Undying Body was far from what he expected. It was like a starving man drinking a mouthful of thin porridge; it only whetted his appetite but couldn’t fill his stomach.

At this moment, Chu Fan felt a pure force drilling into his muscles and bones, not even sparing a single inch of his skin.

The sensation was subtle yet omnipresent, as if countless tiny thunder hammers were gently tapping at his body, hammering away all the stagnation in his muscles and bones.

Far from being painful, it was actually quite pleasant, making him want to close his eyes and savor the sensation of this tempering.

...

A Cyan Snake suddenly slithered in through the crack under the courtyard door.

Its body was no thicker than a finger, its scales shimmering with a faint cyan light. As it crawled over the threshold, it flicked its forked tongue.

Upon seeing the scene inside the room, its golden, vertical pupils contracted into thin slits, filled with alarm. ’This kid... he actually ate the entire bottle of Thunder God Body Tempering Pills!’

’It’s only the third day!’

A faint cyan mist suddenly rose from the Cyan Snake. The mist enveloped its body, spinning like a small cloud.

In an instant, the mist dissipated, revealing a woman in a white blouse. Her features still held a hint of a Snake Demon’s spirited grace, but her expression was one of utter disbelief.

Chu Fan heard the commotion and opened his eyes. A flash of purple electricity sparked in his pupils before fading. With some exasperation, he said, "Sister Bai, don’t you ever know to knock when you come in?"

Xiaobai ignored his question and strode to the side of the bed. Staring at the lingering lightning on his body, she shot back, "How do you feel? You didn’t burst?"

Chu Fan flexed his fingers, a thunder pattern flashing on his knuckles for an instant. "The medicinal power is too weak. This Thunder Power only makes me feel slightly numb."

Xiaobai was speechless.

She stared at Chu Fan’s guileless face and suddenly had a thought. ’I’m a demon who’s lived for hundreds of years, yet this boy before me seems more like the real monster.’

’What kind of Heaven-defying Technique could a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy possibly be cultivating? What priceless elixirs has he eaten to make his body this monstrously strong?’

Chu Fan frowned slightly and added, "This Body Tempering Pill is strange, too...

"I didn’t feel its medicinal power or the Thunder Power stimulating my meridians or organs much.

"Instead, I just feel bloated, like I’ve eaten too much...

"There’s this immense, uncontrollable energy rampaging throughout my body.

"It feels sluggish and chaotic, and it’s making my Qi and Blood churn. It’s actually pretty uncomfortable."

"You lunatic!" Xiaobai watched, terrified. A look of understanding and helplessness flashed in her golden, vertical pupils. She reached out and tapped the thunder pattern on his arm. "That’s Primordial Qi! You idiot!"

"Primordial Qi?" Chu Fan closed his eyes to feel what was happening inside his body.

Sure enough, in addition to his familiar Qi Blood Power, there was a strange new energy. It was more dynamic and vast than his Qi Blood, but also far more defiant and untamed, like a wild horse stampeding through his meridians.

"This Body Tempering Pill is primarily for tempering the body, but it also contains the vast, primordial Spiritual Mechanism of Heaven and Earth!"

Xiaobai explained, "You haven’t achieved Mortal Transformation yet, so your Dantian Qi Sea hasn’t been opened, and your Qi Blood Tree hasn’t formed.

"You can neither actively absorb and store the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, nor can you refine it into Primordial Qi that you can call upon at will.

"So a portion of the Spiritual Mechanism in the Elixir was actually wasted; it just dissipated.

She pointed at the almost-solid purple electric light around Chu Fan’s body and said, "Look, this light leaking out is the Spiritual Mechanism you didn’t absorb.

"But even so, when the Elixir enters your body, just like when you eat a Treasure Plant, some of the Spiritual Mechanism is forcibly channeled into your meridians, automatically converting into the most primitive Primordial Qi.

"This Primordial Qi is unanchored, and it gets tangled with your Qi Blood Power. Naturally, it’s going to rampage uncontrollably and disrupt the flow of your Qi and Blood."

Chu Fan focused his senses inward and found it was just as Xiaobai had described.

His meridians were incredibly tough and remained undamaged, but they were aching and bloated from the torrent of rampaging Primordial Qi, as if small bolts of lightning were jumping through them. The flow of his Qi and Blood had also slowed, no longer as smooth as before.

He was a cautious person by nature. He had only taken the Elixirs after trying them one by one, confirming that his body could withstand the effects before daring to consume more.

Although this rampaging Primordial Qi wasn’t fatal, it was affecting his overall condition.
