C14 Breakthrough! Two Stars of Blademaster!

Lee escorted Wang Feng and Wang Mingzhu to his place, where he received the prescription list from them.

Upon giving the prescription to Wang Feng, Lee instructed, "Here you go, Young Master! Make sure to hurry!" And, Young Master, could you hand me one of the Tide Turner Elixirs you gave me this morning?

This elixir can safeguard Miss Deng's physical health and nurture her spirit. It will gradually improve her condition, which is greatly beneficial for her at the moment.

"Sure, here you go!"

Wang Feng and Wang Mingzhu strolled through the bustling streets of East Deld, unable to pause and admire the vibrant scene as they had before. They hurried along, searching for a pharmacy among the fragrant buildings, their figures a blur of activity.

Wang Mingzhu asked, "Wang Feng, do you see that? Is that the place the Hundred Herb Hall's shopkeeper mentioned? The one with Mystic Serene Grass and the other herbs listed on the prescription?"

"Yes, let's check it out."

After what felt like dozens of hours, they finally reached the last pharmacy on the streets of East Deld.

By the time Wang Feng entered his courtyard, night had fallen, and the sun had long since set, leaving the courtyard bathed in light.

Deng Jiu had been waiting for quite some time, his eyes red from the long vigil.

"Young Master Wang! You've returned at last!"

"Yes."

Wang Feng silently made his way to Lee's room, pulled his backpack off, and upended it, spilling a rainbow of herbs onto the long table.

Deng Jiu approached Wang Feng and embraced him tightly, his gratitude bringing tears to his eyes despite his advanced age.

Wang Feng gasped, "Enough hugging, let go... I can barely breathe!"

Ha! That's right, here, Old Lee, this is for you. Wang Feng passed the furnace to Lee.

Deng Jiu quickly released Wang Feng and hurried over to Lee, watching as he sorted the herbs and prepared to fire up the furnace.

Dawn was breaking, the rooster crowed, and the morning light began to spread. It was the hour of the rabbit.

The chimney atop Lee's house wafted a refreshing fragrance that enveloped the entire courtyard, creating an effect akin to smoke gently undulating through the space.

Wang Feng and Deng Jiu stood vigil outside Lee's alchemy chamber, eagerly anticipating the emergence of the pill from the furnace.

As the third hour struck, Lee emerged from the chamber, a smile gracing his face. He addressed the small assembly, "It's done. The girl will be saved."

Deng Chanyu, assisted by Deng Jiu, swallowed the pill with a ladleful of warm water.

Moments later, a cough broke the silence. To Deng Jiu's delight, his daughter had awakened!

"Dad, where am I? Why are you crying?" inquired Deng Chanyu.

Clasping her hand, Deng Jiu hastily wiped his tears with his sleeve, overcome with emotion. "I'm not crying, my dear. I'm just overjoyed to see you come back to life."

Deng Chanyu's once pallid and lackluster complexion began to regain its natural hue.

Lee observed, "She's recovering nicely. However, the young lady still needs to strengthen her body, especially since it's been quite some time since she's been active. I'll write up a prescription for you shortly. Fetch the medicine from the pharmacy, and in about half a month, the underlying ailment should be cleared."

"Ding! System alert: A third divine candidate has been detected in the vicinity of the host."

Wang Feng was utterly baffled. "What? Could you repeat that, system? I didn't catch it."

"Ding! System alert: The third divine candidate has been identified near the host. It is Astral Lord Deng Chanyu!"

"Are you serious?" Wang Feng asked.

"Of course," the system confirmed.

Internally, Wang Feng mused, "What kind of game is this? A two-for-one deal! Has the system finally seen the light?"

"Not at all," the system responded. "If the host had paid attention to Destiny's Roll back on Earth, the mystery would be apparent."

Wang Feng sighed, "I've already crossed over. After a day's hard work, how could I possibly remember the plot of Destiny's Roll from Earth?"

Since his daughter's illness had been cured, Deng Jiu, a man of his word, knelt before Wang Feng in gratitude.

"I shall honor my promise, ready to brave fire and water for you!" exclaimed Deng Jiu.

Wang Feng quickly reached out to lift Deng Jiu to his feet, repeating with enthusiasm, "Good, good, good!"

"I hereby bestow upon you the title 'Master Deng Jiu, Keeper of the Qing Long Star!' How does that sound?" Wang Feng proposed cheerfully. "And your daughter shall be named the Astral Lord of the Six Harmonies."

Secretly, Wang Feng signaled the system to confer the titles upon them. Suddenly, a radiant light a hundred feet long descended from the heavens, enveloping Deng Jiu and Deng Chanyu. It was as if they were being baptized by beams of light, enhancing and transforming their physical attributes.

Once an incense stick had burned down, Deng Jiu was the first to come to his senses. He fell to the ground, overcome with awe. "This is a divine sign! Thank you, Young Master, for imparting your knowledge! Deng Jiu and his daughter vow to serve you loyally unto death!" Deng Chanyu, taking after her father, similarly prostrated herself in gratitude.

"Come now, rise, all of you. I can't have you kneeling for so long; it's not good for your health! Stand up," Wang Feng insisted, helping them to their feet.

"From now on, Deng, just heed my commands and remain loyal. We can dispense with the formalities," Wang Feng instructed.

"As you command!" Deng replied, causing Wang Feng to shake his head with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

Half a month later, Wang Feng's Celestial Nine Revolution Technique had reached the pinnacle of the one-star Blademaster level!

Today was the ideal moment for Wang Feng to make his breakthrough!

Thanks to the pill crafted by Lee, Wang Feng's training progressed at an astonishing pace, as effortless as quenching one's thirst.

Seated on a cushion in the inner hall, Wang Feng assumed a meditative posture, circulating his Qi in continuous cycles within his dantian, keeping his muscles taut. With each breath, spiritual energy flowed into his body through his pores.

Having chosen the path of body refining, he was committed to seeing it through. Only with immense determination could he hope to become a formidable cultivator.

In fact, on the First Land, very few people chose to pursue the arduous path of body cultivation. This wasn't just because the Way of Heaven was incomplete; the journey of refining the body was incredibly challenging, and many lacked the fortitude to endure it. Only those who had no hope for traditional cultivation or who were born with obstructed eight extra-channels ventured into body refining.

The process began with the external body before moving inward, requiring gradual and meticulous effort.

Wang Feng's body was accumulating more and more of the pale green Spiritual Qi from Heaven and Earth, filtering through his pores and suffusing his muscles and internal organs.

"Ah! Ah!" Wang Feng gritted his teeth and persevered, his muscles quivering uncontrollably.

Once the external skin had been refined, it was time to move on to the heart. Wang Feng felt an excruciating pain, as if his heart was being wrenched out.

Sitting cross-legged, Wang Feng's forehead was beaded with sweat. Clenching his teeth, he channeled the Celestial Nine Revolution Technique repeatedly, cycling through the motions.

The pain persisted for what felt like an eternity until, after about fifteen minutes, Wang Feng's breathing began to steady.

"Huff! Huff!" He gasped for air, his body soaked with sweat.

Then, a thunderous boom echoed from his Dantian, followed by a series of crackling noises throughout his body.

Hearing this, Wang Feng's anxiety finally subsided.

"Phew, at last, a breakthrough!" he exclaimed, disregarding the sticky, dark impurities covering his skin as he caught his breath.

Despite the danger, the sensation was exhilarating.

Suddenly, a gentle tapping at the door was accompanied by a woman's voice, "Wang Feng! Are you in there?"

"Ah! That's Wang Mingzhu's voice!" Wang Feng called out, warning her not to come in.

Wang Mingzhu, puzzled, asked, "What did you say?" She then pushed the door open with a creak.

Impatient as ever, Wang Mingzhu demanded, "Who are you? Where's Wang Feng? What are you doing in his room? Speak up!" She was taken aback by the sight of the stranger.

"You!" Wang Feng thought in frustration, "I told you not to come in, yet here you are."

With no other choice, he teased her: "So, if I switch up my outfit, you won't know who I am?"

Recognizing Wang Feng's voice, Ye Mingzhu wrinkled her nose in distaste: "Ugh, you reek! Wang Feng, go take a shower, now!"

Wang Feng seized the opportunity to escape: "You got it!"

Left by herself in the desolate room, Ye Mingzhu surveyed everything surrounding the meditation cushion, coming to a realization.

She whispered in disbelief, "Did this guy actually make a breakthrough? That's monstrous! It's only been a few days!"
