Chapter 46: Battle Sense
He sat at his usual place and took out all the Foundation Establishment fire spirit herbs he had stolen, leaving the higher level one’s for later. The impact a Foundation Establishment herb had on his cultivation was minimal, but if he had hundreds of them, then it would be effective.
He was about to break through, and this much spirit herbs would be enough for him to break through, in fact, in less than half the amount he had, he would be able to break through. What he really wanted was to improve his fire affinity to another level.
He didn’t know how much these herbs would improve his affinity as they were only Foundation Establishment level. He would have to see that after eating all of them.
He took a long breath and began eating the herbs. He ate 2 or 3 at a single time and with constant speed.
When he had devoured about 150 of them, he felt he was about to break through. He didn’t stop eating because he didn’t need to do anything to break through, in fact, he couldn’t do anything even if he wanted to. His cultivation process was all handled by his physique, his only job was to consume resources.
As expected, he broke through quite easily. His fourth meridian opened, and he felt the qi moving in his body become faster and smoother. He reached Mid Stage of Foundation Establishment realm in his Qi cultivation and mid stage of Grade 2 in his body cultivation.
As he kept consuming the herbs, his cultivation realm in mid stage became stable and gradually began to increase.
When he consumed about 600 spirit herbs, he felt that he was about to open his 5th meridian. He hesitated a little if he should stop or not.
Although Huan Caiyi, Zhi Hui, and Ming Yue never asked anything about his physique as this was a sensitive topic and they respected his choice of hiding it, if he opened 2 meridians in one night, then it would reveal many things about his real capabilities.
They would be able to deduce many important details from this. Although it wouldn’t change the dynamics of their relationship as he had good judgement of someone and knew that he could definitely trust them, it would still be better to hide it for the time being.
Also, he had felt that his fire affinity wasn’t increasing anymore. When he started eating the herbs, he felt a small increase, but gradually it declined exponentially as if Foundation Establishment herbs wouldn’t affect his affinity anymore.
