The Lord of Void and Real-Chapter 283 - : 281

Chapter 283: 281

It was currently the dead of winter, bone-chillingly cold. A heavy snow had just fallen in Jianye City, covering the entire Bai Mansion in a blanket of pure white. Their figures quickly disappeared from Bai Xiaoyun’s sight.

Bai Xiaoyun was left speechless, and all he could do was follow behind, albeit much slower.

When he finally caught up with them, he saw them standing at the edge of their own lake, looking out over the ice-covered surface.

As Bai Xiaoyun approached intending to initiate a conversation, his gaze suddenly caught sight of something beneath the ice on the lake surface. Waves upon waves were forming a spiral vortex, slowly and leisurely spinning.

“What is this?” Bai Xiaoyun exclaimed in surprise.

“This vortex is formed by the disturbance of the spiritual energy in the lake. If I’m not mistaken, Shen Luo’s secret chamber is under this vortex. He must have successfully broken through the Qi Refining Stage,” Bai Hecheng said, a faint smile lining his face.

“Really? Big Brother Shen succeeded?” Bai Xiaoyun exclaimed with joy.

“He should be absorbing the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi to try to condense his meridians. I just wonder how many meridians he could condense?” Bai Jiangfeng pondered.

“Looking at the disturbance in the lake, he should have at least three meridians. But I wonder which three among the twelve Channels they would be?” Bai Hecheng commented after musing for a moment.

“From my observation, Shen Luo’s cultivation method is of water attribute, hence inclined towards Yin. Thus, the meridians he condenses most likely would be among the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian, Hand Jue Yin Pericardium Meridian, Hand Shao Yin Heart Meridian, Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian, Foot Jue Yin Liver Meridian, and Foot Shao Yin Kidney Meridian,” Bai Jiangfeng slowly speculated.

At the same time, deep within the secret chamber at the bottom of the lake, a young man sat cross-legged on the floor. Thin beyond belief, with sunken eyes, his loose hair hung about him, and his tattered clothes suggested he was no better than a beggar – this was Shen Luo.

His eyes, however, shone brightly, radiating dazzling brilliance.

Over the past few months, he had consumed the Earth Yin Pill three times in a row, trying to break through the bottleneck of the Qi Refining Stage. Unfortunately, his first two attempts ended in failure.

It wasn’t until two months ago when Shen Luo took the third Earth Yin Pill that he finally managed to break through the bottleneck, his mana moved from a gaseous state to a liquid, and he officially entered the Grain Avoidance Stage.

The reason he hadn’t been able to finish the retreat was that he had not yet fully completed the step of condensing his meridians.

Unlike when he was in the Dreamland, the process of Shen Luo condensing his meridians became extremely difficult. He initially tried with the Foot Shao Yin Kidney Meridian, which is primarily water in the Five Elements, to self-destruct it and then recondense it.

He had fully prepared himself to endure the excruciating pain of self-destructing his meridians, but no matter how hard he tried, the Foot Shao Yin Kidney Meridian remained durable as steel, without any sign of breakage, and of course, it was impossible to condense the meridian.

Next, Shen Luo tried both the Hand Shao Yin Heart Meridian and the Hand Jue Yin Pericardium Meridian, but he failed in both attempts.

Unwilling to give up, he tested all of the Twelve Channels, but in the end, he did not manage to voluntarily self-destruct a single meridian. He wasn’t even given the opportunity to experience the agony of condensing the meridians.

However, something unexpected occurred when Shen Luo used a trial mindset to condense the Du Meridian among the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

An unprecedented wave of pain completely engulfed him, and his Du Meridian was torn apart inch by inch – the self-destruction was successful.

In that instant, Shen Luo was almost driven unconscious by the intense pain, but a deep-seated joy surged from the depths of his heart. Thus, in this contradiction of pain and joy, he began the reconstruction of his first meridian.

Once again, there was a vast difference when compared to the Dreamland. The speed of Shen Luo’s meridians reconstruction became extremely slow, prolonging the bone-etching pain dozens of times, making him feel like he was in purgatory at every moment.

However, thanks to his past experience of condensing meridians, Shen Luo’s ability to endure pain was far above that of ordinary people. He did not go off course much during the condensation process, and in the end, he managed to condense his first meridian without running into any major problems.

Afterwards, his Du Meridian successfully self-destructed again, and it took him a fortnight to successfully condense it.

Just a short while ago, he successfully condensed his third meridian, the Dai Meridian.

The charm patterns of the Array on the four walls of the secret chamber were still glowing, and large amounts of Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi gathered from all directions and began to surge into the newly formed Dai Meridian, encircling his waist, and making it seem as if he was wearing a blue belt.

Shen Luo retracted his hands from the magic spell, assuming a posture as if embracing a ball. The Anyi and Du Meridians in front of and behind him lit up simultaneously. Spiritual power began to gather inbetween them, reflecting off each other with the Dai Meridian that was encircling his waist.

As he relished the sensation of his bodily mana filling up, he could feel his Divine Sense was already extremely exhausted. For half a year, he had been cultivating without rest or sleep, and he had now truly reached his limit.

Gauging his current state, it was clear that he could not continue trying to condense other meridians.

By the time his Dantian and meridians couldn’t accommodate any more mana, Shen Luo finally put away the magic spell and stopped cultivating.

“It seems the aptitude of this body really isn’t up to par. It’s like the difference between heaven and earth compared to that in the dream!”

Shen Luo mumbled to himself with a hint of self-mockery, gradually rising from the ground. After storing the stone box in his sleeve, he walked towards the outside of the secret chamber.

At this moment, it was not only the three people from Bai Hecheng on the lakeshore. Many guest officials from the Bai Family had also detected the abnormality of the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi here and had gathered.

However, the expressions of the crowd looking towards this side were all somewhat strange, filled with both curiosity and doubt.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Shen Luo with his hair disheveled walked out of the entrance of the rockery.

Everything around was snow-white, the reflected light was somewhat dazzling. He subconsciously raised his hand to shade his forehead, then he managed to see the situation around him, and for a moment, he was somewhat taken aback.

“Big Brother Shen…”

As Bai Xiaoyun shouted, he immediately rushed over from afar, grabbing Shen Luo’s shoulder.

“Why are you all here?” Shen Luo frowned slightly, asking.

“Our Bai Family has one more guest official in the Grain Avoidance Stage, this can’t be considered a trivial matter, of course, we had to come over to congratulate you.” Bai Hecheng came over with a face full of smiles, saying this.

Upon hearing these words, everyone was fully convinced that Shen Luo truly had a successful breakthrough.

So, whether they had a good relationship with Shen Luo before or not, all the guest officials on the shore came up one after another to congratulate him at this moment.

If it’s said that Shen Luo’s current cultivation level at the Early Stage of Grain Avoidance wasn’t worth their praises, then the progress he has made in just over a year was enough to astonish everyone.

However, Shen Luo keenly noticed that Xie Yuxin, who once had a private relationship with him, was not among the crowd.

Without giving it much thought, Shen Luo returned to his small house in the woods after exchanging pleasantries with everyone present.

Not long after, Bai Xiaoyun rushed over with a few maidservants, helping him clean up the long uninhabited house and also helped him wash up with hot water.

After washing up, Shen Luo still looked somewhat haggard, although it was much better than the way he looked before.
