The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 1028 - 553: Not Alone (2)

So far, he has been filled with energy during the forging process, like a sacred weapon!

RUUUUMMMMBLLE!

28 times. 30 times. 40 times. 48 times.....

Time flies. Three days later, Yan Xiaobao is still in the same place. Although no onlookers can hear any sound, to him, it sounds like endless thunder developing in his ears.

However, it was at this point that his inner life energy burst for the 49th time. Suddenly, the power doubled, and tremors passed through him. Meanwhile, tiny cracks began to appear on his skin, as if it could no longer endure.

Although the cracks were few, once they appeared, Yan Xiaobao's heart sank.

"So, the signs of imminent death have finally appeared..." Yan Xiaobao frowned. The introduction to the Immortal Eternal Life Skill had mentioned such cracks. At the initial stages of success, they were guaranteed to appear. How long each person could persist depended on their willpower and ultimately determined the quality of the future Immortal Skin.

Even if you did not endure for long, you could still successfully cultivate the Immortal Skin. However, the quality would naturally not be perfect.

If you could endure all 81 bursts of life energy, you could achieve a flawless state.

Yan Xiaobao's eyes flashed with determination, and he closed them once more. The rumbling explosions continued to erupt within him. 50 times. 60 times. 70 times... Unexpectedly, one breath allowed him to persist for five full days, during which he had endured 70 times.

The cracks covering him were so numerous that his skin almost looked like a turtle's. In many places, the cracks had connected, making him look like a pieced-together broken vase.

He seemed ready to shatter at any moment.

"Only seven more times!" he thought, his eyes filled with bloodshot streaks. Panting, he clenched his teeth as the vicious streak in his character surged.

74 times!

77 times!

79 times!

Yan Xiaobao leaned back and roared, though the sound was not very loud, more like a low growl. As he endured another burst, his body trembled, reaching a total of 80 times.

Life energy surged into his skin, and although it was covered with cracks, it felt like iron; anyone who saw it would surely be shocked.

"The last one!" he said. With the surge of the final burst of life energy, he suddenly extended his right hand and slammed it to the ground.

A wave of heat arose, creating a massive crater. As everything concluded, the last eruption of life energy occurred. Endless life energy surged into his skin, causing the cracks to vanish instantly, making him appear smooth and flowing. The dark glow disappeared, and he looked as fair and pure as before. However, now his skin was tougher than ordinary skin, although no one could tell by looking at him.

Yan Xiaobao stood there panting for a while, then raised his head to look at the crater he had just smashed into the ground. Then he looked at his skin, his expression brightening. Finally, he leaned his head back and laughed loudly.

He waved his right hand, causing his wooden sword to fly out, transforming into a black beam that cut over his forearm. With a strike, a metallic clinking sound echoed as the wooden sword unexpectedly flew backward. As for his arm, it felt like a mosquito had bitten him. When he checked the impact point, his skin was unharmed.

"Immortal Skin!" he shouted, unable to restrain his joy. It should be noted that his wooden sword was not an ordinary magical item; it received double spiritual enhancement. Although it was made from common materials, due to the spiritual enhancement, it could be considered a worthy magical item. Despite this, it caused him no harm.

Yan Xiaobao suddenly flashed into motion, shooting forward. When he suddenly appeared thirty meters away, a buzzing sound could be heard. Now he could move many times faster than before, greatly delighting him.

As for the power he could release, just looking at the crater on the ground, you'd find it was many times greater than before. Moreover, this was just the initial stage of successfully cultivating the Immortal Skin. Although it could not be said that he completely shed his mortal body, he was definitely different from before.

"With such defensive power," he thought, "I, Yan Xiaobao, will be much safer on the road to eternal life." Yan Xiaobao was very satisfied with himself. Next, he checked his cultivation base and saw that he had made quite a bit of progress in that regard as well. He was now in the grand circle of Qi Condensation Fourth Level.

Moreover, this was not an ordinary grand circle. Because of how spiritual energy was compressed inside him, its quality far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators in the same stage.

Feeling very satisfied, he ran around the courtyard a few times, suddenly stopping, his eyes sparkling. He stretched out his right hand in front of him, pinching his thumb and index finger in a U shape. Then he squeezed them together, causing black light to appear above them. Although nothing happened, a cracking sound could be heard in the air before him.

Eyes wide, he turned and rushed towards a nearby rock, where he made the black light flash from his two fingers again. Once he squeezed his fingers together, when the rock exploded like a piece of tofu, a cracking sound could be heard.

He flashed again, appearing beside the soul bamboo, now reaching over nine meters tall. After determining the hardest bamboo stem, he pinched his fingers together. When the bamboo shattered, a wave of heat could be heard.

Yan Xiaobao took a deep breath, sinking to the ground, looking down at his two fingers, the black light slowly dissipating from them. After a while, he exhaled a long breath.

"So, this is the mastery of the Throat Breaking," he calmly murmured. This was one of the secret magics of the Immortal Eternal Life Skill, only released after reaching the initial stage of success. It is said it could double a person's power and be uncounterable.

Just now, Yan Xiaobao only used fifty percent of his full strength. He couldn't even imagine how powerful and frightening the secret magic would be if it were released at full power.

From Yan Xiaobao's words, such secret magic must be used for killing. After a moment of silent contemplation, he concluded that although it was cruel, it still needed serious practice. Therefore, he began zipping around his courtyard, causing black flashing lights and cracking sounds to echo.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. During that time, Yan Xiaobao has not left his courtyard. He has been practicing there the entire time. Of course, he could not know that after several months away, Li Qinghou finally returned to the Spiritual Flow Sect, currently flying over on a ray of green light, heading directly toward Xiangyun Peak.

Upon landing, before he could even rest, two beams of light shot out from Green Crest Peak and Violet Cauldron Peak heading towards him. Soon, he was able to make out an old figure in one of the beams of light. He looked like a sharp, unadorned sword, exuding the unique pressure of a foundational cultivator.

In the other beam of light was an elegant woman. She looked like a natural beauty, and although she had an unusual expression on her face, she was still very delicate. It almost seemed she didn't know whether she wanted to laugh or cry. She landed with the old man together at the mountain top.

These two were the Peak Lords of Green Crest Peak and Violet Cauldron Peak. Upon reaching Xiangyun Peak, they privately discussed matters with Li Qinghou, then left.

Li Qinghou stood at the top of Xiangyun Peak, rubbing his nose. Finally, he emitted some divine senses, focusing them on the three Spirit Tail Chicken Farms at various locations on the mountain. When he saw that the only things left were chicks, he likewise seemed unsure whether to laugh or cry. After a sigh, he waved his sleeves and began walking down the mountain. From his direction...

He seemed to be heading directly toward Yan Xiaobao's courtyard residence. Li Qinghou had actually never visited the area where Yan Xiaobao's residence was located. After all, it was situated in a remote region of the mountains. As he continued onward, the courtyard residence soon became visible in the distance.

However, before he could approach very closely, a fair, clear figure appeared, holding a piece of roasted meat, walking and eating at the same time. He seemed completely focused on his meal, even humming a tune.

When he realized the meat currently being stuffed into Yan Xiaobao's mouth was definitely a chicken leg, Li Qinghou's face darkened. Anger burned instantly in his heart.

"Yan Xiaobao!!" he roared, his voice booming like thunder. While sucking on a chicken bone, Yan Xiaobao almost jumped into the air in fright.
