Xianxia: Why am I here?

Chapter 37: Breaking the body limit

When everyone was asleep, only Ruruo and Wang were left.

She was trying the new method Wang passed to her, but to her surprise, her cultivation started to decline from the limit of rank eight to rank six.

Then she realized her Yin Qi had also become purer.

But with such a good method she couldn’t stop herself.

Wang went to the verandah and started using his consciousness to check through the scrolls and books.

Most of them were pure information that he was able to quickly pull into his consciousness.

As for the techniques in the pile, they were indeed a lot but most were incomplete and numbered in hundreds.

.....

He however did not find anything about other skills only martial arts were added to the panel.

After everything was completely viewed he started to move them to the library.

It took only two rounds and most importantly the attributes were also collected before they were organized.

This took the entire night, and after morning arrived he was exhausted mentally.

He ended up dragging his exhausted body back.

He just collapsed on the bed and Ruruo who had stopped cultivating was puzzled looking at Wang that had passed out.

Moreover, her realm had also improved again to the peak of rank seven.

The Yin Qi in her body was extracted from every corner of her body and refined until nothing was left in her bones.

This also meant that she had managed to completely deal with the issue of her body.

Together with the Yang Qi obtained when the two cultivated together, she now had a change in her qi.

She felt even stronger than when she was on rank eight. But she could still tell her level dropped.

But nothing could change that unless she found a way to increase her qi, such as using ginseng.

But if she delayed for another half a year she could also manage to get her realm all the way to rank nine.

In that case, Wang did not try to meddle as it can also be a good opportunity to temper her foundation.

After coming into contact with a monster, though it was not necessarily within his expectations, he decided to start looking for information about them.

If he could hunt them, then he might have the opportunity to improve his physique further by consuming monster meat.

And in some cases even obtaining a strong monster could be helpful as a mount.

But that was not yet his concern, he was more inclined towards improving his body strength oast the current limits.

So he visited the farm, collected ginseng with Ago, and picked the suitable one for him, instructing him to go back and cultivate.

At the same time, he started to check through his medical herb collection.

“It’s a shame I have yet to see any pepper, otherwise it would be a good ingredient. That is not important anymore. That group on the other side of the servant’s housing however seems interesting. Their actions are so organized almost like people from the military.” with his perception he could cover all the area past the mountain they settle on.

Now his biggest concerns are how to deal with that in the library without being burned alive.

He indeed had only one way out, and that was using the heat from the place to temper himself.

After making up his mind, he went back and talked to Ruruo, he just said he might spend the weak in the library.

She shouldn’t worry too much about him, he had some books he wanted to pass through.

After that, he moved his ginseng with him and a new pair of clothing.

He was already certain the ones he had on were doomed.

After entering the cave, he did not follow the direction of entering the library but rather found other routes.

Along the hidden tunnels, he discovered they were dug by some animals but they were not lucky enough as the heat from the place ended up killing them after getting closer.

He moved ahead until he could see a huge golden reflection in the front.

He was already aware that it was not the real flame as his perception could still bypass it.

But he got rid of his clothes as they were already unable to hold on.

He then approached the fire and started to circulate his golden internal strength.

And just like he expected it was useful, thus he went back and collected one of the ginseng and started eating it.

Then he went on to eat three more, and the medical power from the thousandsyears’ears worth of ginseng was too much.

Let alone four, and thus his body was already suffering from excessive energy.

But he endured the pain before pushing himself into the golden flame.

Sitting cross-legged, he started to run the golden internal strength as well as the body refinement art.

All the martial arts had been incorporated into the thunder body art.

Though they failed to change the art, in this environment, the Yang energy was being drawn into his body continuously.

And after some time more impurities seemed to be removed from the body.

The golden internal strength was also being strengthened at a fast pace.

In the beginning, he did not think much but soon he realized the flame had some real advantages for his body.

More Impurities were expelled and then burned and his body couldn’t escape the same fate.

Thankfully the vitality from the ginseng proved very useful and as he was enduring the process of tempering he used his perception to see a small golden flame below that seemed to be almost distorting the void.

He then sends his consciousness into the flame, using perception.

He also discovered some tiny seed-like structure, he already knew what it was.

He thought of how useful experience has been since he came to this world.

Without much delay, he send strong consciousness into the seed, and some sort of strange cry came out, trying to push him out.

But due to this opportunity, he started a struggle with the seed or whatever was inside.

But the more he struggled the higher the temperature was rising but intuition told him the moment he withdrew he would be planted in this place.

In that case, he had to go all out, his consciousness increased and the struggle become more and more intense.

His body was in the midst of all this and the tempering seemed to have become more unbearable.

The golden energy in his body kept moving through his damaged organs and other parts trying to repair them.

But in the end, he was still not capable of repair as first as the damage was done.

He then started to use the combined thunder body art and martial arts without caring about the consequences.

He also remembered something and stood up and started to use the combination of first arts he had spent his time on.

The energy in his body was being absorbed so fast into the muscles and the flame energy also followed along doing much damage.

At the same time, the bones also were not so lucky, as they seemed to be facing some burning.

Thankfully the first technique seemed to have reached a new dimension and as he persisted the energy from all over the place was being drawn into the body.

His strength also skyrocketed until a huge explosion happened in his body.

At this time, he had entered a new level in terms of physical strength but the realm was still at rank eight.

This indeed was something worth celebrating but he did not seem happy at all.

His consciousness was already at its last straw, and thus he sat cross-legged on the spot and looked at the Cosmic Void Art.

After some hesitation, he still ended up pressing on the + sign.

He also found himself on the ocean-like water surface but this time he was already struggling like some weights were tied to his body.

He struggled to go up but it was impossible and even the weight seemed to be increasing.

The situation made him more complicated as he struggled for a while longer before he eventually drowned.

Waking up he found time to have stopped and he did not waste time looking at the golden flame ahead he approached and his consciousness was released in full swing.

Then with a ‘boom’ the seed changed color and become golden but he had already passed out and time resumed.

This time, the exhaustion mentally had already gone beyond anything he had ever experienced.

Just like that, he fell into a deep sleep. As for the changes that happened to his body he did not know.

.....

He had given everything he could, even taken his Cosmic Void Art to completion of the technique he had obtained.

He also knew it was incomplete, but now he couldn’t improve it unreasonably.

But that couldn’t concern him, he had already blacked out.

On the other side of the mansion, a man is sitting on a chair with a huge amor next to him had been staring at the report in his hands.

Then he seemed to think of something before calling one of his subordinates.

“Old Tang you know our trip has been completed, now we indeed can confirm the princess is doing well. We should escort her and the husband back to the imperial city, the empress’s birthday is almost coming up in six months.” the man had some gray hair forming on his head.

Even his subordinate seemed the same, and both couldn’t help but sigh.

Entering the imperial city even for the princess how could it be a good thing?

Once in, it’s almost impossible to leave freely, as the conspiracies in the place are too much.
