Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Almost There

Even the heavily modified version of the Body Refining Potion was developed for Spirit Controllers at A-level or higher. Under normal circumstances, Spirit Controllers below B-level had no bottlenecks when leveling up. Even if they did, the issue would be with their spiritual power, not their physique. Only at A-level and above could a lack of physical strength prevent one’s Spiritual Power Level from advancing!

For her first attempt, Ning Xuan only added three vials of the Body Refining Potion. She knew that because she cultivated the Guiding Spirit Scripture, her current physical strength far exceeded her Spiritual Power Level, so she added a little more than the standard dose.

Ning Xuan soaked in the bath, which was now infused with the Body Refining Potion. She felt an abundant energy scrambling to seep into her body through her pores and skin. The impact of the energy produced a dense, prickling pain. Soon, this stinging sensation expanded, deepened, and even merged into a continuous sheet of pain. Her skin swelled as if it were about to be torn apart. Ning Xuan circulated the Guiding Spirit Scripture, causing the special energy within her meridians and acupoints to diffuse outwards. This energy permeated her smaller meridians and the surface of her body, merging with the energy from the medicine. The swelling pain quickly vanished, replaced by a sharp, tearing sensation. This feeling—of her blood vessels, muscles, and meridians being ripped apart—was even more unbearable than the initial stinging!

The first things to break were her muscle fibers. After they tore, they were quickly repaired by the dense energy. The newly formed muscle fibers were tighter, tougher, and stronger. The tearing sensation reminded Ning Xuan of the feeling of being broken down and rebuilt that she had experienced during her previous Cultivation. ’It seems that even with different cultivation systems, the results are ultimately the same!’

Unfortunately, the tearing sensation gradually faded. It wasn’t because there was a problem with her Cultivation, but because the energy in the bath was insufficient!

Ning Xuan checked the time. Barely four hours had passed since she started. She poured all seven remaining vials of medicine into the bath. As the medicine dissolved into the water, it emitted even more intense energy fluctuations. The halo of energy swirled, transforming into the shapes of various medicinal ingredients like the Ice Python, lotuses, and Foggy Flowers, creating a vibrant and colorful spectacle!

Ning Xuan stepped into the bath again. The moment she entered, the parts of her body in contact with the water were hit by a powerful surge of energy, several times more intense than before. Fortunately, Ning Xuan was mentally prepared. She gritted her teeth and sat down in the medicinal water. A sharp pain instantly assaulted her, piercing straight to the bone and striking her very soul. Ning Xuan couldn’t help but let out a low cry of pain. Then she figured that since she was in a private space, there was no need to hold back so much, so she began to groan softly. Hearing the commotion from inside, Chen Nan grew worried. After calling out twice and getting no response, he pushed the door open and entered the bathroom!

Ning Xuan focused all her attention on fighting the energy. The dense medicinal energy surged into her, triggering the Ice Energy Cluster temporarily stored in her Dantian. Ning Xuan operated her Cultivation Technique, simultaneously guiding the overly concentrated energy to distribute evenly while re-compressing the dispersing Ice Energy. She exhausted her efforts just to barely maintain a balance. But unexpectedly, at that very moment, a powerful Fire Element Energy erupted from within her blood. Instantly, her blood boiled, and her heart pounded like thunder. From the side, Chen Nan could almost hear the sound of roaring thunder from within Ning Xuan’s body. A fiery red shadow flickered in and out of existence behind her, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire room!

Chen Nan’s Superpower Body trembled under this pressure. Ning Xuan’s spiritual power filled the room. By the time Chen Nan came to his senses, he was already prostrate on the floor. In the past, when he sensed Ning Xuan’s spiritual power, Chen Nan had felt a desire to be close and submit, but it was nothing like this. This wasn’t just submission; it was worship. He felt his own insignificance and lowliness, prostrating himself in heartfelt reverence!

Since the Fire Element Energy erupted in her body, Ning Xuan no longer had the strength to control the other two energies. She cautiously refined and guided the Fire Element Energy, spreading it evenly throughout her meridians. Her meridians, muscles, and even bones—which had already been toughened by the impact of the Body Refining medicine—were now undergoing further refinement from the Fire Element Energy. Ning Xuan endured the agony of this refinement, trying to gather the more solidified parts of the erupted Fire Element Energy. After several hours of effort, the energy finally took on a vague shape. Just as Ning Xuan was starting to feel a glimmer of joy, *BANG*, the energy collapsed and dispersed into her bloodstream!

In her gurgling, flowing red blood, many tiny, shimmering particles had appeared.

Ning Xuan felt her blood calm down. The Ice Energy Cluster below her Dantian had been refined by the Fire Element Energy during the process. She opened her eyes. The medicine in the bath had been completely absorbed. The previously full pool of clear water had been completely evaporated during the process. She was sitting naked in the tub.

A layer of filth coated the bottom and walls of the tub. ’These must be the impurities expelled from my body during the Body Refinement!’

’If the water hadn’t evaporated, the smell would have been awful!’

There were still faint traces of sweat and grime on Ning Xuan’s skin. She turned her head and met the gaze of a blushing Chen Nan. He was staring blankly at her with wide eyes. Ning Xuan’s features were already bright and beautiful, but after several months of diligent Cultivation, she had grown much taller, and her muscle tone was exquisite. Her former beauty was now complemented by an aesthetic of power. Today, her skin was smooth, lustrous, and white. It had a much higher sheen than before, almost as if it were glowing. The image of her when he first met her appeared in his mind. In just a few short months, Ning Xuan seemed to have been completely reborn before his very eyes!

"I’d like to take a bath. Could you please fetch a bucket of hot water for me?" Seeing Chen Nan in a daze, Ning Xuan spoke to him very politely!

Chen Nan’s face turned even redder. It had been so long since Ning Xuan had spoken to him so gently. "Please wait a moment!"

Ning Xuan had used ten vials of the Body Refining Potion to temper her body. She hadn’t expected the Fire Element Energy to erupt again during the process, showing signs of a Superpower Body awakening. It even seemed like she was on the verge of fully awakening it!

Ning Xuan felt light and full of power, as if she had endless strength. ’I really want to go out and pick a fight right now, just to test my skills!’

She took a bath, got dressed, and went out into the courtyard. In a corner of the yard stood five pillars made of polished black-veined rock. They were heavy, hard, and served as training posts that Chen Nan had specially built when he bought the house. These training posts had a special mechanism at their base that could measure the force of a strike!

Ning Xuan stood before one of the pillars and threw a light kick. A moment later, a number appeared on the pillar’s body: five hundred. Previously, a kick with all her strength would only register 300 kilograms. Now, her strength had more than doubled. Moreover, in the past, a 300-kilogram kick would leave her foot numb. Today, after a 500-kilogram kick, her foot felt perfectly fine!
