Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 458: Chapter 456: Body Tempering Pill

Hearing Little Fatty say he had a plan, the others instantly turned their gazes toward him.

That was when Lin Xinghai noticed with surprise that there wasn’t the slightest hint of anxiety on the other’s face.

Logically, Little Fatty’s own talent wasn’t anything special. It would be nearly impossible for him to open the meridians needed to cultivate the Divine Demon Body within three days—one only had to look at Jin Tong to know that.

But for that very reason, his words seemed all the more credible.

"If you have a good idea, spit it out!" Lin Xinghai urged.

"The method is actually simple. Since Sister-in-law was able to meet the breakthrough requirement in six days using High Level Gene Medicine Liquid, we just need to use something even better for our Cultivation to shorten the time further," Little Fatty replied.

"There’s something better than High Level Gene Medicine Liquid?" Jin Tong couldn’t help but ask from the side.

Back at the Ruifeng Shelter, Jin Tong’s Cultivation conditions had been considered excellent. While others were still scrambling for regular Genetic Medicine Liquid, he was already using Intermediate Gene Medicine Liquid.

But that was the extent of it. Something like High Level Gene Medicine Liquid, with its extremely limited production, was a luxury for him. He had never even heard of anything better.

In truth, the same was true for Lin Xinghai. However, beyond his disbelief, he felt a greater sense of anticipation.

...

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Xinghai saw what Little Fatty had brought over at the entrance to his dorm.

He had originally expected some even higher-level medicine liquid, but to his surprise, what Little Fatty took out were small, green pills.

"These are Body Tempering Pills. They’re specifically used for tempering the body and are arguably the best Elixirs for someone at the Blood Qi Realm."

"The medicinal effects might be a bit strong for us, but as long as you’ve broken the third Genetic Lock, your body should be able to barely handle it."

"The Energy it provides is much purer and more abundant than what you get from High Level Gene Medicine Liquid, making it extremely useful for opening our meridians. Of course, it’s also quite effective for increasing our Genetic Optimization Level," Little Fatty explained.

Hearing this, Lin Xinghai recalled seeing these for sale on the East Sea Academy’s trading network. A single pill cost 2,000 Credit Points, which was extraordinarily expensive.

"How did you get so many?" Lin Xinghai’s gaze swept over the suitcase Little Fatty was carrying. The glass containers inside were all filled with these Body Tempering Pills—there were at least a hundred of them.

If he were to buy these with Credit Points, it would cost a staggering 200,000 Credit Points! Forget about students like them; even the academy’s instructors probably couldn’t come up with that much.

As if he could guess what Lin Xinghai was thinking, Little Fatty chuckled and said, a bit smugly, "Using Credit Points to buy Cultivation Resources is the worst deal. I pulled some strings with my family to get these Body Tempering Pills for 20,000 Huaxia Coins a piece."

"Of course, on the black market, these Body Tempering Pills usually go for 25,000 to 30,000 Huaxia Coins—and they’re the type of thing that has a price but no supply."

Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but smack his lips. 20,000 Huaxia Coins, equivalent to 200,000 Points, equivalent to one Mecha.

This really wasn’t something an ordinary person could afford to use.

After hearing the price Little Fatty quoted, Jin Tong, who was standing to the side, almost bit his tongue. "Why is it so expensive?"

His parents had pulled some strings to get him 300,000 Huaxia Coins for this trip, but that was supposed to be his budget for the entire semester!

"You should be glad you can even buy them, and you’re still complaining about the price? Here, I’ll lend you these ten Body Tempering Pills. And don’t worry about paying me back right away. Wait a few years. It won’t be too late to repay me once you’ve reached the Body Shaping Realm. By then, this amount of money will be nothing to you." As he spoke, Little Fatty took out a glass vial containing ten of the Elixirs and handed it to Jin Tong.

After a moment’s hesitation, Jin Tong gritted his teeth and accepted it.

Even though this was 200,000 Huaxia Coins, and it pained him to use it all at once, he understood that falling one step behind at East Sea Academy could mean falling behind at every turn. The resources he would end up losing would surely be worth far more.

"Boss, these Body Tempering Pills are for you and Sister-in-law," Little Fatty said, producing another vial of Elixirs. "This is on me, out of respect. You don’t have to pay me back."

Lin Xinghai didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.

When Liu Miaomiao saw Lin Xinghai take the Elixirs, she quietly said, "Thank you," and accepted the glass vial, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

She certainly hoped she could reach the bottleneck for breaking through to the Blood Qi Realm within three days. That way, Wen Qiuying wouldn’t have to call in any favors on her behalf.

Soon, everyone went their separate ways. Liu Miaomiao couldn’t wait to return to her room and try the pills. Her task was more demanding than anyone else’s; in addition to raising her Genetic Optimization Level, she also had to open her meridians.

As for Little Fatty, after a brief discussion with Lin Xinghai, he went off to find Sun Tianbo, Xie Shanyong, and the others.

After all, when Lin Xinghai had first formed the team, he had distributed his 18 spare Energy Balls among them. As a result, all of those people had undoubtedly secured a spot as a First Class Student.

Therefore, they also had a chance to vie for entry into the Creation Blood Pool. The only issue was that their problem was somewhat similar to that of Little Fatty and his group.

When it came to true talent, even Sun Tianbo and Xie Shanyong might not have been able to secure spots as First Class Students on their own merits, to say nothing of the others.

So, if they wanted to get into the Creation Blood Pool, they would definitely need Little Fatty’s help.

Watching Little Fatty’s retreating figure, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but smile. He was, of course, well aware of Little Fatty’s intentions.

He just didn’t care in the slightest. No matter how Little Fatty tried to win people over and improve his own standing, he could never pose a threat to him.

Besides, Little Fatty’s actions would contribute significantly to improving the team’s overall strength, which was exactly what Lin Xinghai wanted to see.

Soon, Lin Xinghai took the Body Tempering Pills and entered the Cultivation Room.

He picked up the glass vial, poured out a Body Tempering Pill, and placed it in his mouth. Almost instantly, Lin Xinghai felt a surge of Energy spread throughout his body.

The Energy released by the Body Tempering Pill was indeed at least three times more abundant than what High Level Gene Medicine Liquid provided, and it also had a special effect.

Wherever the Energy passed, his body felt pleasantly warm, and those areas would subsequently become a bit more resilient.

’This must be the Body Tempering effect.’

Lin Xinghai immediately used his Perception Power to guide the Energy from the Body Tempering Pill and began carving out his meridians.

To be honest, Lin Xinghai was still a little worried about the process of opening his meridians.

Although he had experience circulating the System Technique before, that was merely circulation. The system had already carved out the meridians required for the Cultivation Technique.

It was like two people entering a mountain forest: one has a map and simply has to follow a path cleared by others, while the other has to forge their own path from scratch. The difference in difficulty was self-evident.

However, as Lin Xinghai began controlling the Energy from the Body Tempering Pill to carve out his meridians according to the legacy of the Thunder Divine Body, he immediately felt a difference.

Previously, when he used the Energy from High Level Gene Medicine Liquid to circulate his Cultivation Technique, he had to constantly consider the endurance of his meridians.

But now, using the Energy from the Body Tempering Pill, he only needed to focus on the accuracy of carving out the meridians, without any need to worry about damaging them.

This was because the Energy from the Body Tempering Pill wouldn’t harm the meridians. On the contrary, if carving them out caused any minor damage, the pill’s nourishing Energy would rapidly repair it, making the meridians even more resilient.

"You really get what you pay for!" Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but exclaim. Then, he began to cultivate with all his might.
