The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud
Chapter 431: Breaking Through with Additional PointsWith Bai Suzhen’s assistance, Su Jingzhen’s consumption of the North Sea Dragon Blood was smoother than ever before.
In less than an hour, he had completely absorbed and refined the power of that single drop of dragon blood.
At that moment, Su Jingzhen felt his physical cultivation level was on the verge of breaking through, nearing the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage.
However, just as he was about to push past the peak of the ninth layer of the Flesh Body Golden Embryo, he encountered an invisible barrier that seemed unbreakable.
Moreover, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body, as if something was about to sprout.
His bare torso, which had been covered in blood beads, was now encrusted with a layer of blood scabs, though they hadn’t caused him any harm. Beneath this layer of scabs, a faint silver light flickered.
“This is already impressive. I can clearly sense that, although you haven’t broken through to the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage, you’re just a hair’s breadth away from it.
One drop of North Sea Dragon Blood has brought you this close to such a significant breakthrough, which is already quite remarkable. There’s no need to feel disappointed.”
Sensing Su Jingzhen’s frustration, Bai Suzhen’s voice echoed reassuringly in his mind.
Indeed, this was just one drop of North Sea Dragon Blood, and Bai Suzhen felt that the positive changes it had induced in Su Jingzhen far exceeded the expected benefits of a single drop.
Hearing this, Su Jingzhen smiled faintly. “I’m not disappointed. But as I said, I plan to break through to the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage today, and I won’t go back on my word.”
As he spoke, Su Jingzhen took out the jade bottle containing the North Sea Dragon Blood once more and poured out the final drop.
Without any hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.
He knew this drop might not be enough to push him fully into the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage, but he was confident it would bring further positive changes to his body.
“You… are you treating this like candy?” Bai Suzhen’s voice trembled with surprise.
Even though, in her eyes, a single drop of North Sea Dragon Blood wasn’t much, it was still dragon blood.
Even though Su Jingzhen had thoroughly absorbed the effects of the previous drop, she believed it would have been more effective to consume the next one after a day or two. That way, the effects would likely be even better.
But now that Su Jingzhen had recklessly swallowed the second drop…
She couldn’t just stand by and watch. Bai Suzhen had to intervene.
A force even stronger yet still gentle entered Su Jingzhen’s body, absorbing the destructive power of the North Sea Dragon Blood into herself.
While this energy would have caused excruciating pain for Su Jingzhen, it was barely a nuisance for Bai Suzhen. In fact, absorbing such energy was even beneficial to her.
As Su Jingzhen continued to absorb the last drop of the North Sea Dragon Blood, his physical body was further strengthened. The silver light, which had been hidden beneath the scabs on his skin, finally emerged fully.
Silver scales began to grow from his skin, shimmering beautifully in the light. Some of the scales were even inscribed with intricate, innate spiritual patterns.
It was as if Su Jingzhen was being encased in a layer of silver armor, giving off an aura of formidable defense.
Upon seeing this transformation, the belt around his waist reverted back to Bai Suzhen’s true form. Her sapphire eyes reflected pure shock.
Bai Suzhen’s level of cultivation was far beyond what Su Jingzhen could comprehend. For her to display such a reaction indicated that something truly extraordinary was happening to him.
“After swallowing just a few drops of North Sea Dragon Blood you’ve grown Heavenly Dragon scales? Who are you, and where did you come from?”
Her voice trembled as she spoke. Bai Suzhen was genuinely stunned.
However, she had no idea that what she was witnessing was merely the beginning.
Su Jingzhen’s body had already entered a state of positive self-regulation.
The second drop of North Sea Dragon Blood was almost fully absorbed, and the remaining power posed no threat to his now significantly enhanced body.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s eyes were tightly shut as he sensed the changes within his body.
“I still can’t break through to the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage?
There seems to be a barrier—could this be the innate restriction imposed by the world’s environment on every Body Cultivator and Spiritual Cultivator?”
Su Jingzhen felt that, after absorbing the two drops of North Sea Dragon Blood, his internal power was more than enough to elevate his cultivation to the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage.
However, he was still unable to make the final breakthrough.
He knew that under this environment, there would not be any obstacles for Qi Refiners to advance from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.
As long as the Golden Core was perfected, it would be possible to break the core and give birth to the Nascent Soul.
“Forget it, I’ve come this far, and today I am destined to reach the Flesh Body Nascent Embryo stage.
No matter what barriers exist, I have the system. Even if the environment isn’t favorable, it won’t stop me!”
The stubbornness within Su Jingzhen’s nature was instantly triggered.
He no longer hesitated and activated the Body Refinement sub-panel.

Directly adding points!
Suddenly, he felt the blood and energy within his entire body surge once more.
A spot in his Dantian suddenly heated up.
With the consumption of 1000 points, the Yin Jiao Acupoint was finally opened.
Now, he had already opened eight of the human body’s Secret Repositories.
In this Qi Refining environment, this was an absolutely unbelievable achievement.
Perhaps there were still many in the current era who were stronger in body refinement than Su Jingzhen.
But none of them could have opened eight of the human body’s Secret Repositories within two or three months.
Every one of them had painstakingly accumulated their blood and energy bit by bit.
Most people could not follow the most orthodox path of body refinement.
The Surging Spring Acupoints in the feet, the Labor Palace Acupoints in the hands, the Tanzhong Acupoint in the center, the Stone Gate Acupoint in the Dantian, and the Guanyuan Acupoint.
All were linked by the activation of the Yin Jiao Acupoint.
The blood and energy of the eight Secret Repositories were now interconnected.
Their quality seemed to have significantly improved.
The sense of restraint Su Jingzhen had felt earlier vanished in an instant.
He felt as if he had been elevated.
His physical body seemed several times stronger than before.
Su Jingzhen eagerly glanced at his Body Refinement sub-panel.
