Chapter 116: Chapter 0116: Promotion to Refining the Viscera
“This metal sphere…”
Chen Yu’s heart raced, thinking to himself, wasn’t this one of the three that had appeared at the Hidden Lake auction?
Thump, thump! Thump, thump!
The increased heartbeat brought with it a sense of anticipation and longing.
Faintly,
Chen Yu felt a subtle fluctuation in the Light Silver Crystal Space within his heart.
...
“Master Gu, do you also have one of these metal spheres?”
Chen Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart.
On the surface,
he appeared very surprised and first clarified that he also had one, to dispel the other’s wariness.
In reality, Chen Yu had already set his sights on this sphere.
“This sphere,”
Master Gu casually said, “was bought by a junior brother of mine at the Hidden Lake auction for eighteen thousand, but he couldn’t figure anything out from it. He sent it to me, hoping to melt it down and decipher its material composition.”
“And the result?”
Chen Yu asked with a smile, taking out a similarly worn metal sphere.
Originally,
At the Hidden Lake auction, there had been three of these metal spheres, taken by Yi Yunfei, Chen Yu, and a dark-faced elderly man.
“No result. The material of this metal sphere is very hard, forged by a very ancient method, and it likely contains elements of a special spatial crystal. To this day, I have been unable to melt it down.”
Master Gu shook his head.
“I wonder if there’s any difference between it and mine.”
Chen Yu casually picked up the worn metal sphere next to the melting furnace.
Master Gu glanced at it but didn’t mind.
Just as Chen Yu grabbed the sphere, a familiar scene occurred.
Whoosh!
A deep suction came from his heart; the weighty heartbeat caused the space in front of him to feel overlapped and shaky.
Immediately
the metal sphere in his hand trembled, and strands of mysterious and strange forces were sucked into the mysterious heart.
The next moment
Within the dark, fuzzy space of the Light Silver Crystal Space, threads of silver crystal light points lit up.
Hum!
These silver crystal light points quickly merged into the existing Light Silver Crystal Space.
In an instant,
Under Chen Yu’s conscious focus, the Light Silver Crystal Space rapidly expanded and soon doubled in size.
Originally, the Light Silver Crystal Space was only as big as a palm and three inches deep.
Now, it was still palm-sized but had grown to six inches deep, like a mini box.
“If only it could turn into a rectangular shape.”
Chen Yu focused his thoughts on the newly formed, glistening mini-space, feeling slightly regretful.
If so, his crystal space could store the “Dark Snake Sword” and bring out its unexpected effects more efficiently.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, the still unsteady small space suddenly twisted.
Hum!
In the silver light, the small space suddenly stretched to more than a foot long, but its depth and width significantly reduced, turning into a small rectangular box.
“That’s great.”
Chen Yu felt a rush of ecstasy in his heart.
This crystal space in the mysterious heart, unlike the external storage bag, was a concept on its own.
It was an independent small space, disregarding weight, where objects could be retrieved with just a thought, and items could enter it through thought.
Even,
The Iron Moon Strange Insect could enter it.
Ordinary storage bags couldn’t hold living things, unless it was a specially customized pet bag, which was much more expensive than those of the same volume.
“You lad, do you know the origin of this sphere?”
The voice of the goat-bearded man came through.
“Master jests, how could I know about something even you couldn’t decipher.”
Chen Yu secretly broke into a cold sweat.
Just now, he almost gave himself away and was almost discovered by Master Gu.
He put down the worn metal sphere and focused on assisting Master Gu.
Two days later,
A new “Dark Snake Sword” was successfully melded.
What came into view was a subdued dark gray short sword. Upon close inspection, one could see a layer of dark lustrous patterns on the surface of the blade, very exquisite.
Chen Yu infused his True Qi and suddenly felt as if the sword was a bottomless pit, absorbing almost twice the True Qi he normally provided.
Hum!
A strange gray flow and blood-red gleaming patterns arose on the Dark Snake Sword. With one swipe, a residual shadow flickered lightly, almost without sound.
Chen Yu felt that the killing power of this sword was now far superior to the Xuan Heavy Sword.
Probably below the Qi Transformation Realm, not many could survive its strike.
“By integrating Moon Spirit Ore, this sword maintains its silent features at night, and in places with moonlight, it amplifies its power by thirty percent.”
Master Gu said with a smile.
He was very satisfied with this refined poison sword, especially considering the material used was excellent.
Zong Tianchen, on the side, looked at the sword with a hint of astonishment.
A Meridian Passage Stage disciple like Chen Yu could prematurely possess such an excellent mid-grade treasure weapon.
“With moonlight, the power amplifies by thirty percent. Doesn’t this make the sword close to a top-tier fine weapon at night?”
Chen Yu asked in amazement.
“Pretty much.” Master Gu nodded.
The main characteristic of melding weapons with Moon Spirit Ore was reflected here.
Three days later,
Zong Tianchen’s weapon was also enhanced, and he looked very satisfied.
Of course
Enhancing a weapon and refining one were two different concepts.
Their weapons were originally lower grade treasure artifacts, further enhanced by a collection of precious spiritual ores and materials to mid-grade treasure artifacts.
If one were to truly craft a mid-grade treasure artifact, it would take at least ten to fifteen days.

After refining their weapons,
the two took a troop from the Chu Family and, a few days later, arrived at the Yunyue Sect.
No sooner had Chen Yu returned to the inner gate than he received a message from the Sect Affairs Hall.
“Junior Brother Chen, in six days, you will join the sixth troop reinforcement team to head to the front lines and help defend Lu Yun City.”
An elder said with a smile.
“Thank you, elder.”
Chen Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The impending grand showdown between the three sects and the Bone Demon Palace meant all disciples were inevitably going to be dispatched to the front lines.
Although frontline duties were inherently risky, the level of danger varied.
The city defense task assigned to Chen Yu was relatively safer, sparing him from fighting on the very front lines or being part of a sacrificial squad.
After confirming his mission,
the first thing Chen Yu did was to attempt advancing to the Organ Refining Stage.
Now,
his foundation was solid, his inner breath far purer than his peers, even comparable to those in the Organ Refining Stage.
He was just short of a breath away from advancing to the Organ Refining Stage.
Upon deciding,
Chen Yu took out a High-Grade Body Nourishing Pill from his Light Silver Crystal Space.
As the elixir dissolved in his stomach, a warm and surging heat flowed within his body, slowly merging into his inner breath and meridians.
Chen Yu sat cross-legged, circulating the “Cloud Evil Heart Method,” and began his attempt to break through to the Organ Refining Stage.
At this time,
the external network of meridians throughout Chen Yu’s body had completely connected, creating an unceasing cycle, and his inner breath had refined to its utmost limit.
This intensely pure inner breath began to assault the internal network of meridians.
Previously,
he had attempted this breakthrough multiple times but always fell short, primarily due to his aptitude.
But now, under the medicinal power of the High-Grade Body Nourishing Pill, it seemed as if the internal network of meridians was being cleansed, and the barrier tore like paper.
He exhaled sharply!
The Cloud Evil True Qi within him, like a fierce wild horse, forcefully surged through the internal network of meridians, entering the twelve regular meridians.
The internal network connects to the organs of the body, and during the cultivation process, it can greatly strengthen the organs and alter one’s physique.
Hence, this stage is known as the Organ Refining Stage!
After reaching the Organ Refining Stage, the cultivator’s physical strength increases, their inner breath becomes more profound, and their energy channels grow longer, making the use of general treasure artifacts much more effortless.
Two days later,
Chen Yu’s inner breath circulated through parts of the internal network and finally condensed back into the Dan Field Qi Sea.
Within the Dan Field, a blue-black cyclone slowly formed.
Final Stage of Organ Refining!
From then on, all his inner breath had a source; as long as his body remained vital, the Qi Sea could slowly regenerate the inner breath.
This was also why, in the Organ Refining Stage, the inner breath is profound and the energy channels are elongating.
With a powerful exhalation,
Chen Yu’s fists vibrated, and the air roared with Evil Qi, forming a colossal python-shaped Killing Aura Fist Shadow with fierce black and blue patterns, displaying astonishing might of Evil Qi.
Likely, ordinary cultivators in the Organ Refining Stage facing such might of Evil Qi would find their spirits and vital energy somewhat diminished.
“With a casual punch, I can exert punch strength that condenses Evil Qi, and its shadow has become more solid.”
Chen Yu showed a pleased expression.
His breakthrough to the Organ Refining Stage had gone much smoother than expected. Throughout, Chen Yu had been methodical and steady.
He noticed that his current purity of inner breath surpassed that of a typical mid-stage of Organ Refining.
Moreover, after advancing, his cultivation level was very stable.
In the following days,
Chen Yu briefly consolidated his cultivation before starting to comprehend swordsmanship and master the Cloud Evil Fist Technique.
For swordsmanship, naturally, it was the “Xuan Heavy Swordsmanship,” which Chen Yu now summarized into “Xuan Heavy Sword Technique.”
“Xuan Heavy Sword Technique:” It extracts the strengths of various sword techniques, condensing the contrasting essences of ‘light’ and ‘heavy’ sword styles, encompassing the operational methods and skills of swordsmanship and inner breath.
From this point on,
this sword technique could be considered a newly independent martial art.
Chen Yu was confident that this integrated sword technique could match top-tier martial arts, essentially the most elite at this level.
Additionally,
in Cloud Evil Fist Technique, after advancing to the Organ Refining Stage, Chen Yu could maximize its power.
He felt that his fist technique was nearing the peak realm.
“Once the Cloud Evil Fist reaches the peak and the true essence is comprehended, there’s a certain chance to condense ‘Cloud Evil True Qi.'”
Chen Yu yearned.
If he could condense even a trace of “Cloud Evil True Qi,” not only would the power be overwhelmingly formidable, capable of injuring those in the Qi Transformation Realm, but it would also greatly increase the chances of advancing to the Qi Transformation Realm.
However,
condensing Cloud Evil True Qi in the Organ Refining Stage was truly difficult. It demanded aptitude, insight, and opportunity, among other aspects.
Several days later,
the time to join the frontline battle finally arrived.
During these days, Chen Yu’s mastery of Cloud Evil Fist Technique, unfortunately, had not reached the peak.
“Perhaps, going to the battlefield and experiencing the bloody and brutal scenes through killing could aid my breakthrough.”
Chen Yu murmured.
He had encountered his fair share of combat before, but he had never experienced the bloodthirsty slaughter of the battlefield.
On this clear morning,
Chen Yu arrived in front of Yuntian Hall, where more than two hundred people had already gathered.
From Qi Transformation Realm elders to Meridian Passage Stage disciples, both familiar and unfamiliar faces could be seen.
Among them,
Chen Yu saw many familiar faces, including Tong Yuling, Duan Xiaolong, Mu Xueqing, Nangong Li, Huangfulin, and others.
“I will lead you to the frontline of battle. Our Yunyue Sect, Iron Sword Sect, and Water Moon Sect will engage in a life-and-death battle with the Bone Demon Palace,”
a clear and melodious female voice rang out.
The speaker was a gracefully beautiful woman in palace attire, with a qi-bang haircut, a lovely countenance, and a clean, solemn complexion like snow porcelain, exuding a dignified and holy presence that commanded respect.
