C22 Eightlayered Divine Body

"Yifan, I established White Cloud Ravine with the intention of being there for you when you needed help. Over the years, I've managed to save a considerable amount of wealth, so please feel free to use it," Bai Ruoyun said earnestly, her lovely face beaming with happiness.

For her, the opportunity to assist Lee Yifan was a source of great joy.

"Why don't I show you the wealth I've accumulated?"

Without waiting for Lee Yifan and the others to respond, Bai Ruoyun confidently led the way.

Lee Yifan hesitated briefly but decided to follow. He didn't intend to rely on Bai Ruoyun's support, but he felt it was only polite to take a look.

Lee Yao and Lee You'er trailed behind.

They followed Bai Ruoyun through a frequently used underground passage until they reached a stone door.

Bai Ruoyun inserted a specially crafted key into the door.

Rumble!

The stone door slowly lifted with a heavy rumble, revealing an expansive underground chamber.

Hiss!

Lee Yifan gasped, his eyes widening in astonishment. The basement before him was easily over five hundred square meters.

The space was filled with an assortment of boxes, bottles, and more.

There were medicinal herbs, pills, demon beast carcasses, among other items!

The contents of this room could rival those of the Vault of Wonders. Moreover, there were piles of gold in the corner, treated as if they were mere rubbish.

Lee Yifan was impressed. Bai Ruoyun was like a magnet for wealth; in just a few years, she had amassed a considerable estate.

He soon came to terms with it; after all, being an alchemist was a lucrative profession.

Especially since Bai Ruoyun was a top-tier alchemist in Ilanahil, with a never-ending stream of clients seeking her services. It would be hard for her not to prosper.

Lee Yifan felt a wave of emotion, recalling how he had once saved Bai Ruoyun on a whim, never imagining she would achieve such success.

"Yifan, this is the key to the basement. From now on, take whatever you need. If you require pills, just let me know directly, and I'll refine them for you."

Bai Ruoyun offered the key to Lee Yifan, who declined with a smile, "I won't be needing the key. If I do, I'll come to you for it."

Despite his words, Lee Yifan had no intention of reaching out to Bai Ruoyun. For a man to reach out to a woman felt undignified to him.

"Yifan, please, don't hesitate to ask for anything you need," Ruoyun said, slightly disappointed as she took back the key.

After a bit more conversation, the group emerged from the basement.

Lee Yifan requested that Ruoyun find him a tranquil spot where he could engage in secluded cultivation.

Having extorted a sum from the Lee family, it was time to put these resources to use.

So, Lee Yifan began his cultivation, ingesting the pills he had obtained from the Lee family and refining them to clear his meridians.

Two hours later, Lee Yifan opened his eyes, a hint of regret on his face.

He had taken all the pills, yet he had only managed to break through to the seventh level of Beginning. He had hoped to push through the seventh level in one fell swoop but fell just short.

Nevertheless, he wasn't too disheartened. He had reached the peak of the seventh level of Beginning and was now on the cusp of the eighth level. Additionally, he had widened his meridians.

Now, his meridians had significantly improved in both width and resilience, which would undoubtedly enhance his burst strength.

Having exhausted his supply of pills, Lee Yifan did not intend to leave. Instead, he proceeded to cultivate the eighth level of the Godly Body.

He unfurled the goatskin scroll, studying the cultivation technique and pondering its meaning.

The heavenly level cultivation method was truly intricate, but thankfully, Yifan's sharp intellect allowed him to grasp the full technique through his conjectures.

To his delight, Yifan discovered that the eighth level of the Godly Body was tempered by the forces of nature. The so-called forces of nature were not the intrinsic powers of creation but rather the elemental forces present in the world, such as fire, thunder, ice, and wind.

The Eighth-Level Godly Body technique contained a unique method for extracting the essence of the forces of nature.

Take fire, for example; one could extract the essence of flames to temper the body. However, while the essence of flames could be used for refinement, it was also incredibly volatile. If one's body was too frail, the essence might incinerate it to ash.

Some cultivators of the Eighth-Level Godly Body were unable to endure the wild power of the natural elements and ultimately met their demise.

Lee Yifan pondered whether he could use the electricity from the nuclear power station within his body for his own physical refinement.

If possible, he could swiftly achieve the first stage of the Eighth-Level Godly Body.

There was only one way to find out.

Determined, Lee Yifan initiated the flow of electricity within him, following the intricate circulation method of the Eighth-Level Godly Body.

Completing the complex circulation took Lee Yifan a full hour. Once done, he sensed an internal furnace ready to draw in and transmute the power of the cosmos.

His intuition was correct; the core of the Eighth-Level Godly Body was to absorb the power of heaven and earth into oneself and forcibly refine it.

Next, Lee Yifan attempted to channel the electric current into the unseen furnace within him.

To his astonishment, he was successful.

Indeed, it was possible!

The electric current flowed unceasingly into the invisible furnace.

This current was then transformed into raw electrical energy, which was immensely fierce. Over time, Lee Yifan's body became akin to a reservoir of lightning, on the verge of exploding at any moment.

Yet, he did not cease his efforts. Instead, he persisted in refining the current, knowing that the benefits of using the energy to temper his body would only manifest once the electric energy reached a certain threshold.

With the nuclear power station providing an infinite supply of electricity, he had no concerns about depleting his energy.

Roughly an hour later, feeling he had reached his limit, Lee Yifan began to harness the refined electric energy to fortify his body.

His face bore a look of both anticipation and gravity. Success would bring him immense rewards, but failure could be fatal.

Lee Yifan wasted no time and began the process of tempering his body.

To him, life and death were trivial matters; action was everything.

Overthinking was pointless!

Ow!

The next moment, as the electrical energy coursed through his body, Lee Yifan couldn't suppress a howl.

He didn't want to scream, but the pain was unbearable. It wasn't a matter of pleasure; it was excruciating.

The energy surged into Lee Yifan's organs and bones, making him feel as if trillions of ants were gnawing at his flesh. The agony was so intense it was almost life-denying.

And the pain struck with ferocious intensity.

Yet, Lee Yifan had to endure and manage the electric energy refining his body. If it spiraled out of control, it could cause his body to explode.

In that moment, Lee Yifan was teetering on the brink of death, pushing his limits.

But perseverance paid off. After enduring three hours of torturous pain, Lee Yifan finally reaped the fruits of his labor. He had successfully cultivated the first level of the Eight-Layered Godly Body.
