Chapter 415: Chapter 399: Five Elements Marrow Cleansing Ointment
Lin Qi had Little Chan instruct the smart robot to make tea.
He had bought the expensive tea leaves on Red Dome House specifically for serving friends and elders.
With Dean Liu visiting today, it was the perfect occasion to use them.
GULP~
Dean Liu took the cup of hot tea, sipped it, and said:
“This is excellent tea. I appreciate the thought, Lin Qi.”
Lin Qi, sitting beside him, also took a sip. A pleasant warmth spread through his body, and his mind felt clear and sharp.
“Dean, what’s the good news?”
Dean Liu waved his hand, and the smart robot placed a metal box on the table.
“I previously traded your Awakening Fruit for 300 million Xia Country Coins and 500 million worth of Cultivation Resources.”
“As you know, Wei Peng consumed the Awakening Fruit, so I made the deal with his father.”
“He promised to help me obtain some Cultivation Resources to assist with Refining Inner Organs.”
Lin Qi looked at the metal box curiously. He watched as Dean Liu pressed a switch, and the box opened automatically.
Inside were three jars filled with a golden paste.
Dean Liu took out one of the jars and explained:
“In the Fifth Realm of Refining Inner Organs, the most common Cultivation Resource is the Organ Cultivation Liquid.”
“Beyond that, there are other, even more precious resources.”
“Take this Five Elements Marrow Cleansing Ointment, for example. It’s prepared specifically for the Fifth Realm of Refining Inner Organs.”
“Your Awakened Special Ability is the Metal Attribute, so I had them customize this ointment specifically for it, hence its golden appearance.”
“It will allow you to effectively complete the Refinement of your Inner Organs.”
“A single jar is worth 50 million Xia Country Coins, and you can’t buy it on Red Dome House.”
Lin Qi stared at the three jars of ointment. Each one was priced at 50 million Xia Country Coins, the same as the Water of Life.
That was 150 million in total, plus the 90 million for the Tiger Bone Pills.
That already added up to a full 240 million.
Still, he was thrilled. ‘With this Five Elements Marrow Cleansing Ointment, my Cultivation speed will increase dramatically.’
“Thank you, Dean!”
Lin Qi said gratefully.
Dean Liu took a sip of tea and waved his hand. “There’s no need to thank me.”
“This is what you’ve earned!”
“So far, with the 300 million Xia Country Coins and the Tiger Bone Pills, we’re at 540 million. That still leaves 260 million worth of resources.”
“I’ll arrange for even better resources to help you break through to the Sixth Realm as soon as possible.”
He stood up and said:
“From now on, Lin Qi, you must cultivate diligently!”
“The leaders of the Celestial Vault Institute are already planning a small-scale Martial Arts tournament.”
“All of you geniuses will be competing!”
“Given the nation’s investment, the rewards will be substantial.”
“You have to seize this opportunity!”
Lin Qi’s expression turned serious. “I understand!”
…
A few minutes later, Dean Liu departed.
Lin Qi was left alone in the living room. He stared at the three jars of Five Elements Marrow Cleansing Ointment on the table, processing what Dean Liu had told him.
There were still eight months until the global Martial Arts tournament.
Before that, the Celestial Vault Institute and Xia Country would also be holding their own internal Martial Arts competition.
Students from all four years would be participating.
‘With my Talent, if I only have two or three months, it’s not realistic for me to break through to the Sixth Realm and win the championship.’
‘All I can do is my best to achieve a higher rank.’
‘But at the very least, I need to surpass Du Shanyan and Chu Yu first.’
Lin Qi then thought of Shen Heng, an SSS-level talent who was already on the verge of breaking through to the Seventh Realm.
Surpassing him would take a lot more time.
But Chu Yu and Du Shanyan were different.
They had only just broken through to the Sixth Realm, and the gap in their Martial Arts Skills wasn’t large.
The key was physical fitness. If he had more resources, his Qi and Blood Value would increase dramatically.
Relying on his own superior physical Talent, he would have a chance to defeat them!
BEEP!
“Master, Teacher Mu Hong is calling!”
Little Chan’s voice interrupted Lin Qi’s thoughts.
She raised a hand, and a large green screen materialized in front of Lin Qi.
The black-clad Mu Hong appeared on the screen.
“Teacher!”
The black-clad Mu Hong nodded upon seeing Lin Qi.
“You must be at the Celestial Vault Institute now.”
“I’m stationed at the Steel Great Wall, so it might be a while before I can return.”
Lin Qi nodded. Now that Mu Hong was in the Eighth Realm, he was swamped with duties and couldn’t possibly stay at the school all the time.
“Lin Qi, you’re now at the Fifth Realm of Refining Inner Organs.”
“Besides consuming resources, cultivating your Source Energy Skill, and using the Gravity Room, there’s another method that can accelerate the improvement of your Qi and Blood Value and your Martial Arts.”
Lin Qi’s eyes lit up as he asked:
“What method?”
The black-clad Mu Hong smiled and explained:
“Long ago, before Gravity Rooms existed, we humans came up with a way to cultivate underwater.”
“The resistance of water is far greater than air, so wielding a Weapon requires more strength and endurance.”
“At the same time, your movements will slow down, requiring greater focus and control.”
“Cultivating underwater also tempers the Inner Organs. Holding your breath while you train and consuming resources to refine your Inner Organs yields outstanding results.”
“Although Gravity Rooms have largely made underwater Cultivation obsolete,”
“many Martial Artists still choose this method when they reach the Fifth Realm.”
“You should give it a try as well!”
“Besides, you’re in the Otherworld, in a three-times gravity environment. The water resistance there will be even stronger.”
The more Lin Qi listened, the more he liked the sound of this Cultivation method.
“I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Teacher.”
The black-clad Mu Hong laughed.
“Don’t thank me. You would have found out about this method sooner or later anyway.”
“I look forward to seeing what kind of surprise you’ll have for me when I return!”
After ending the video call, Lin Qi walked slowly to the villa’s second-floor rooftop.
There on the rooftop was a massive swimming pool, approximately 25 meters long and 10 meters wide.
‘So this is what the swimming pool is for.’
The question in Lin Qi’s mind was finally answered; he had previously been puzzled as to why all the villas had large swimming pools.
It turned out they served another purpose entirely.
He went back inside, changed into a retired Combat Suit, grabbed his Tiger Slaying Spear, took a deep breath, and jumped into the pool.
SPLASH!
As a huge plume of water erupted, Lin Qi hit the water and immediately felt its crushing pressure.
With triple gravity acting on the water, he found it difficult to control his body.
His entire body sank to the bottom of the pool.
BLUB!!
He swung the Big Gun a few times, but his body felt unsteady, and he was unable to control his strength or the weapon.
Furthermore, the pressure was amplified by the triple gravity, forcing him to use even greater strength and stamina with every swing of the Big Gun.
As his body moved, his Inner Organs were also subjected to intense pressure, causing them to churn violently.
A few minutes later, he surfaced and climbed out.
COUGH, COUGH~
He coughed a few times, feeling a burning, unpleasant sensation in his Inner Organs.
‘It’s working!’
Although Lin Qi felt terrible, he knew that his Inner Organs were being damaged. But once they healed, their functions would become even stronger.
At this thought, he hurried back to the living room and picked up a jar of the Five Elements Marrow Cleansing Ointment.
The golden paste inside shimmered with a crystalline luster.
