like to ask, how can one enter the Earth Protection Realm"As Ginger Cloud's heart filled with gratitude towards Lu Lun, her address for him naturally changed.The other party, regardless of their culti...Of the nine Qi-Gathering Pills refined by Jiang Yun, the lowest grade was still at the Human rank. After being put into water and taken out, five pills had a change in grade.

Three mortal ranks became earth ranks, one earth rank became a heavenly rank, and the other heavenly rank, although still a heavenly rank, reached its peak in dan efficacy, with no impurities whatsoever, it was perfect.

For this situation, Jiang Yun pondered for a long time before coming to a conclusion: "This is just like cultivation. The efficacy of the elixir is like the spiritual energy in the human body. If the spiritual energy is sufficient, one can enter the next realm. When the efficacy of the elixir increases to a certain extent, it will also break through to the next level. However, no matter how much the efficacy increases, it cannot change the grade of the elixir itself."

The so-called four ranks of heaven, earth, human, and common are merely a general classification standard and cannot specifically define the extent of the efficacy of each rank's elixir.

Therefore, this failed to change the grade of these four Qi-Gathering Pills. Including those previously given to me by Elder Sha, the medicinal effects they originally contained were significantly reduced. Even if tripled, they still wouldn't reach the standards for advancement.

Apart from the fact that elixirs could be advanced, what surprised Ginger Cloud the most was that spirit stones could also be placed in water. After being branded with that strange mark, although the number of Dao meanings contained within would not change, the amount of spiritual energy would increase threefold and become more refined.

Although I don't have a second-grade spirit stone to compare with, it's not hard to infer that if the spiritual energy within the spirit stone increases to its limit, it should be similar to pills and can also improve the grade, causing the spirit stone to go from first-grade to second-grade.

Finally, Jiang Yun finally put the three Tongmai Pills into the water transformed by the stone, and the result made him very satisfied.

Three pills of the Circulation Meridian, all miraculously reached the Heavenly Rank, and one even reached the pinnacle of perfection.

"Swallow these three Acupoint Pills. Even if you can't reach the Ninth Level of Acupoint Realm, it should be no problem to open up the eighth meridian."

Driven by the desire to become powerful as soon as possible, Jiang Yun swallowed all three Tongmai Pills without hesitation and continued to clear the eighth meridian.

However, Jiang Yun still underestimated the efficacy of these three Heaven Rank Meridian Opening Pills!

Tongmai Dan is not an Qi-attracting pill, and it does not draw in heavenly and earthly spiritual energy to open up the meridians. Instead, it already contains spiritual energy from plants and trees, and maximizes it as much as possible.

Most cultivators take Meridian-Opening Pills that are of the Earth, Human, or Mortal rank. Even then, at most, they only take one pill at a time.

／

As for the Heavenly Staircase Meridian Pill, the spiritual energy it contains is truly immense. If one's meridians can withstand it, then just one pill would be enough to open up an entire meridian, even the ninth!

Of course, there have been cultivators who have taken the Heaven Tier Pulse Opening Pill, but when they do, they must have at least a cultivator of the Blessed Land Realm present to protect them. This is to carefully guide and store the spiritual energy generated by the Pulse Opening Pill, dividing it into several times to gradually open up the meridians.

Otherwise, the spiritual energy produced by Tianjie Tongmai Dan could have a very high probability of directly tearing apart meridians and even bursting the cultivator's body.

Ginger Cloud was completely unaware of this, and Old Hei also assumed that since Ginger Cloud was a pharmacist, he must know the contraindications for taking the Pulse Opening Pill, so he didn't specifically explain them.

Therefore, when Jiang Yun swallowed three Heavenly Rank Meridian Opening Pills at once, not to mention that one of them was considered perfect, this act was tantamount to suicide, and it was the most brutal way to do so.

The impurities in the Ginger Cloud Meridian were already extremely fine, and the eighth meridian had already been opened by one-third. Therefore, after three pills of Meridian Opening Pills entered his mouth, the immense spiritual energy they transformed into was like an endless and surging torrent. With its overwhelming power, it instantly shattered and completely opened the eighth meridian.

Although he had entered the eighth level of meridian expansion, Jiang Yun didn't have any time to be happy. Especially when he saw the vast spiritual energy within his body that was practically undamaged, he finally realized his underestimation of the Meridian Opening Pill. He hurriedly directed as much of this spiritual energy as possible towards the ninth meridian.

The Ninth Level of Meridian Circulation, being the final stage for most cultivators in the Meridian Circulation realm, naturally poses the greatest challenge to break through. The methods of breakthrough are also subtle and gradual, a steady progression towards complete circulation.

Even though the impurities in Ginger Cloud's ninth meridian had been broken down into tiny particles by Ginger Wanli using various medicinal powers, the influx of spiritual energy couldn't immediately expel all the impurities in a short amount of time. This resulted in a large amount of spiritual energy being temporarily trapped within that meridian.

Although Ginger Cloud's meridians were considerably thicker than others', the sheer volume of spiritual energy was overwhelming. His meridian couldn't contain it and immediately began to expand rapidly.

Ginger swiftly began to move the excess spiritual energy from her meridians, trying to release it through the pores and orifices of her body.

But the immense spiritual energy also emanated a tremendous pressure, blocking his seven orifices and sealing his body completely. The spiritual energy was unable to escape at all.

However, that's not the worst of it!

Just when Jiang Yun's forehead was already sweating, a violent roaring sound suddenly erupted within his body.

"Boom boom boom!"

The flow of Qi was blocked by impurities in Ginger Cloud's ninth meridian, and there was no outlet for it within her body. This caused the Qi to become increasingly violent.

The Qi torrent suddenly began to surge towards those impurities, impacting them repeatedly. The resulting violent booming sound shook Jiang Yun's entire body with every impact.

Gradually, Jiang Yun's internal qi and blood churned. Even blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth. Although only half of the ninth meridian had been opened, the flood of spiritual energy was, compared to before, reduced by about a third.

If this trend continues, before the ninth meridian is opened, Jiang Yun's body will be directly shattered by these spiritual energies.

Jian Yun's mind was racing at lightning speed: "No, I have to find a way to vent this excess spiritual energy quickly. If I don't release it, these energies will overwhelm me before my meridians are opened. I could be killed by my own power."

Thinking of this, Ginger Cloud strained to raise his hand and suddenly pointed fiercely at the abdomen of his own body.

With this blow, Jiang Yun had almost used all his strength, piercing a hole in the man's abdomen.

This is Jiang Yun's idea. Since the spiritual energy can't be released and pores and seven orifices are blocked, perhaps opening a wound on his own body could allow this spiritual energy to flow out.

However, Jiang Yun soon discovered that the wound in his abdomen, which had almost pierced through his body, was not bleeding at all, let alone any spiritual energy flowing out.

Obviously, the enormous pressure generated by the Qi flood once again blocked this wound.

"This method isn't working, how can these spiritual energies possibly be released"

Just as Jiang Yun was worried about how to find an outlet for his frustration, a cold voice suddenly sounded like a muffled thunder above his head: "Jiang Yun, get out here!"pathy to ask Jiang Kunlun: "Jiang brother, has he severed the karmic bond with that person"Jiang Kunlun nodded and said, "Sever it!"Tianyu then nudged Jiang Yun and said, "Jiang, little brother, we ca...
