I Can Travel between Two Worlds

"Munch, munch~"

Wang Lishan was biting into the pill heavily, and only after a good ten minutes did he manage to swallow the entire "pill" into his stomach.

As the pill entered his stomach, Wang Lishan’s face slightly flushed.

After resting in place for a while, he felt the changes in his flesh body.

"The Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Power Pill, capable of adding the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, huh?"

"Qi and Blood Value increased by about 1,500 points. Power increased by... 20,000 jin!"

Feeling the effects of the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Pill, a gleam flashed in Wang Lishan’s eyes.

"Moreover, this pill can be consumed three times..."

He quickly realized the value of the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Pill, eagerly asking:

"Lin Chen, can this pill be mass-produced?"

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this, affirming:

"The medicinal properties, fire control, and temperature have been pretty much figured out. As long as the ingredients are sufficient, mass production won’t be a problem."

Upon hearing this, Wang Lishan smiled bitterly.

The flesh essence of Fourth Tier demon beasts, how could it ever be enough?

"Cough, cough, no need to refine too much, prioritize consuming it yourself." Wang Lishan coughed twice as he spoke.

...

That morning, Lin Chen returned to the Alchemy Room and continuously refined several Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Pills.

He selected the one with the best medicinal properties and went into the Cultivation Room.

"Sigh, to become stronger... I have no choice but to swallow it!"

Lin Chen muttered, then swallowed the pitch-black, basketball-sized pill into his stomach.

Just after taking a few bites, Lin Chen started feeling extremely full.

Seeing this, Lin Chen quickly activated the Breathing Technique to digest it.

After digesting sufficiently, he took a few more bites.

This continued until the afternoon when Lin Chen had swallowed an entire Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Pill into his stomach.

And as he digested the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Pill, Lin Chen felt a surge of heat throughout his body.

His body felt like it was brimming with endless strength...

Lin Chen did not hesitate and continued practicing the Ninth Generation Breathing Technique.

After half an hour, Lin Chen seemed to hear a crisp sound.

Within him, the invisible bottleneck from Martial Sect to Martial Venerable was easily shattered.

He glanced at the Qi Blood Bracelet’s display of Qi and Blood Value—15,033 points.

Exceeding the 15,000 Qi and Blood Value standard of a Martial Venerable.

"Did I just... become a Martial Venerable?"

Lin Chen blinked; this breakthrough was unexpectedly smooth.

"Basic Level Martial Venerable, with base strength exceeding 600 tons, peak running speed is... 1,000 meters per second!"

"So, where is my limit?"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Chen couldn’t believe that he hadn’t encountered the Martial Arts Barrier between Martial Sect and Martial Venerable.

The increase in Qi and Blood Value, relatively speaking, is simple.

As long as a martial artist’s talent is excellent enough, with sufficient resources piled up, Qi and Blood Value growth is linear.

But the issue is, between realms, there is a Martial Arts Barrier!

Moderate Martial Artists reach their limit at Warrior or Martial Master, finding it incredibly difficult to improve further because their body’s limit is just that.

No matter how much nutritional supplement, demon beast flesh they consume, it won’t help.

Yet, the Postnatal Purity Body condensed by the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill can break this limit, thus proving its value.

But as the Martial Arts Realm advances, it becomes increasingly difficult to break the Martial Arts Barrier.

Just like Li Nian or Wang Lishan, in their youth, they were unmatched prodigies among their peers.

But their upper limit might only be around Martial Venerable.

Wang Lishan was stuck at the Martial Venerable limit for decades, finally reaching the Martial Monarch Realm by piling up resources.

Similarly, Elder Long and Elder Jiang had higher aptitudes but were stuck at the Martial King Realm, unable to advance further.

Because martial talent is like that, breaking through is difficult.

"And me? From Martial Sect to Martial Venerable, there was unexpectedly no bottleneck..."

"Such talent cannot be achieved by the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill alone."

Lin Chen shook his head.

If the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill could truly allow advancement to Martial Venerable freely, then body cultivators in the Cultivation Realm wouldn’t be nearly extinct.

After all, Martial Venerable corresponds to the late stage of Core Formation for body cultivators.

"So... is it the Candle Dragon’s power?"

Lin Chen had a vague guess in his heart.

Perhaps Candle Dragon not only granted him the ability to call wind and rain but fundamentally improved his martial talent!

"No wonder the Sequence Plan and the entire Great Xia Country value martial spirit so highly..."

"Because human martial talent, no matter how strong, has its limits... Only by utilizing powerful martial spirits can these limits be broken!"

"So, where is my limit?"

Lin Chen took a deep breath, unsure.

What he knew was that after breaking through to Martial Venerable, his martial progress would be unhindered for a considerable time.

At least until reaching Martial Monarch, there would be no obstacles.

"Right, besides... mastering the Candle Dragon’s power seems to have made a breakthrough as well."

Martial spirit is a mystical ability, allowing its possessor to know its general effects upon awakening.

With Lin Chen’s martial realm breakthrough, he felt his martial spirit ability had undergone some changes.

With a thought, Lin Chen looked around.

In his perception, everything around him slowed considerably.

A bug flew past Lin Chen; he could even clearly see every flap of its wings.

"Everything around me, time... seems to slow in my eyes?"

"Is this, Bullet Time?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow; in this mystical state, his mind felt particularly active.

"No, it’s different... It’s the Candle Dragon’s power!"

"Candle Dragon controls time’s flow... But with my current strength, I cannot fully control time, alter reality..."
