Chapter 121: The One Hundredth Tempering

eam! ...“So, everyone, don’t consider this event a crisis… This is an opportunity! An unprecedented opportunity!” Xianhan widened his eyes, the floral markings on his cheeks seeming to bloom brighter....Fang Yu still stood before Qin Yimo, throwing the burnt talisman from his hand to the ground.

Now that he has severed the connection between the sorcerer and the insects, the other party can no longer control the insects and thus cannot threaten the Qin family anymore.

But severing contact doesn't mean Qin Yimo is safe.

When a parasitic worm loses contact with its master, it becomes uncontrollable and may erupt with venom at any time.

So, to ensure Qin Yimo's safety, we need to kill the worm as soon as possible.

While Fang Yu was still thinking, Qin Yimo, with her eyes closed, had a look of pain on her face.

It seems the grubs are getting restless after losing contact with their master.

"There's no choice but to press on." Fang Yu made up his mind.

He had Qin Yimo's servant bring a set of silver needles and began to give Qin Yimo acupuncture.

The purpose of this acupuncture treatment is to strengthen and expand Qin Yimo's meridians.

Fang Yu inserted silver needles into several key acupoints, forcefully breaking the blockage of the meridians caused by the Gu poison. Afterward, he channeled his true qi into Qin Yimo's meridians.

Before Qin Yimo had ever practiced cultivation, her meridians were quite fragile and narrow. Fang Yu could only use his true qi with extreme precision, slowly expanding and strengthening Qin Yimo's meridians...

An hour later, Fang Yu stopped channeling his qi.

At this moment, Qin Yimo's pores were oozing out a great deal of filth.

Fang Yu is equivalent to helping Qin Yimo temper her body once. Now, Qin Yimo's meridians are strong enough to withstand the infusion of stronger true qi.

Fang Yu placed his hand on Qin Yimo's abdomen, a faint red aura rising from his palm.

After a moment, Fang Yu helped Qin Yimo up and patted her back.

"Pff!"

Qin Yimo spat out a large mouthful of blood.

A pool of blood splattered on the ground, appearing jet black.

In this pool of blood, there is a wriggling black worm.

This is a parasitic worm.

Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed a finger at the insect.

"Whoosh!"

A red glow flashed, and the insect turned to ashes.

After a while, Qin Yimo who was lying in bed slowly opened her eyes.

Her complexion was still pale, but her lips slowly regained their original redness.

Seeing Fang Yu in front of her, Qin Yimo's eyes changed slightly, and she asked weakly, "What happened"

"You've been cursed." Fang Yu said,

Then, Qin Yimo slowly recalled what had happened before.

"You're saying that person put the silkworm into that glass of plain water" Qin Yimo asked.

"Not necessarily, there are many ways to put a curse on someone. Maybe he's already done it while talking." Fang Yu said.

"When talking..." Qin Yimo wanted to recall the waiter's appearance, but she couldn't remember it no matter how hard she tried.

But she had clearly looked at this face before, why couldn't she remember it

"Don't even think about it. After you were bewitched, he has a thousand ways to erase your memory. Besides, I've left a mark on his soul. If I want to find him, I can do it anytime." Fang Yu said,

"...Then I'll tell grandpa immediately and ask him to send someone..." Qin Yimo said.

"Don't be impatient. If you want to catch a big fish, you have to let the line out longer. This person must be panicking right now and will definitely leave Huaibei quickly and return to his base. When that time comes, we can send troops again and catch the big fish." Fang Yu said.

Qin Yimo looked at Fang Yu in front of her, her eyes flickering.

After spending time with Fang Yu, she realized that her previous perception of him was completely wrong.

Fang Yu indeed deserves his grandfather's trust. His displayed strength and wisdom... in every aspect, far exceed Qin Yimo's imagination.

Ke Fangyu looks like he's just a middle school student under 20!

"Who exactly are you" Qin Yimo thought to herself, looking at Fang Yu.

After a moment of silence, Qin Yimo sat up and suddenly realized she was only wearing a thin white shirt, with dirt still on her body.

"To force the parasites out of your body, I also helped you refine your physique. If you're willing, you can start cultivating now. Your starting point is much higher than others." Fang Yu said.

Qin Yimo shook her head and said, "My grandpa doesn't let me cultivate."

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, then remembered something that had happened years ago.

That was probably Qin Wu Dao's most regretful and painful memory of his life.

"It seems you still hold a grudge against me, Wudao," Fang Yu sighed inwardly.

Qin Yimo saw Fang Yu staring at her directly, and suddenly sighed, wondering: "What's wrong"

"It's nothing." Fang Yu said.

"Why are you sighing" Qin Yimo asked in bewilderment.

"I suggest you take a shower. You smell pretty strong... Also, your clothes are soaked through, not very presentable." Fang Yu said.

Qin Yimo was taken aback. She looked down and found, just as Fang Yu had said, that her white shirt had been soaked through with sweat, revealing her underwear...

Qin Yimo's cheeks flushed immediately, and when she looked up, she found that Fang Yu had already turned and left.

……

Leaving Qin Yimo's home, Fang Yu did not return to Lijiang Apartment Complex, but went to the vegetable garden instead.

After simply watering the vegetables in his garden, he came to a large tree beside it and took out the enormous inner core of the Devouring Whale from beneath its roots.

The inner alchemy of the Sky-Swallowing Whale still flickered with golden light, emitting waves of pure spiritual energy.

Fang Yu was truly surprised. He didn't expect that in this era where Earth's spiritual energy was so scarce, a ninth-order monster would still exist in the world.

Demons' reliance on spiritual energy is akin to humans' dependence on oxygen.

After the spiritual energy became thin, most monsters were unable to adapt and died off in large numbers.

The higher the level of a monster, the more it relies on spiritual energy.

And as a ninth-order monster, the fact that the swallowing whale is still alive today is truly remarkable.

"Could it be that the Sky-Swallowing Whale doesn't rely on spiritual energy to survive Or does it have a special way of living" Fang Yu stared at the inner elixir before him, thinking to himself.

Moments later, Fang Yu stopped dwelling on it and focused on the task at hand.

Such a large inner pill, naturally cannot be swallowed in one gulp.

Fāngyǔ could only slowly refine it, absorbing it into his dantian.

A pure and immense spiritual energy surged into Fang Yu's dantian.

Fang Yu's cultivation level rose steadily.

One layer, two layers, three layers, four layers, five layers……

Ten layers!

Fang Yu broke through to the ninth thousand, eight hundred and seventy layers of the Qi Refining Period in one fell swoop!

is not just a realm of improvement.

After absorbing the core of this Devouring Whale, Fang Yu felt a surge of heat coursing through his meridians.

Gradually, Fang Yu even felt numbness in his body.

"What's going on Can't the Inner Pill of the Devouring Whale be refined directly I'm poisoned" Fang Yu's face was grave as he looked down at his hands.

His meridians were still warming, he felt his blood was about to burn!

He started to feel pain!

"This feeling...Could it be..." Fang Yu's expression changed slightly, his eyes gleaming.

This is the feeling of tempering!

Could it be, he's going to be tempered again!

Before Fang Yu stepped onto the path of cultivation for two thousand years, he had gone through ninety-nine body tempering sessions.

After that, his physical body reached its limit and could no longer undergo tempering.

As early as when Fang Yu was undergoing his forty-something tempering, his master had warned him not to continue tempering blindly.

Generally, most cultivators can temper their bodies only once. Some cultivators who specialize in cultivating their physical bodies might temper their bodies five or six times, at most ten times.

Ke Fangyu had already tempered his body over forty times at that point, as if he were obsessed, unable to stop.

"If you keep this up, sooner or later you'll ruin your body from overexerting yourself!" the master warned Fang Yu.

But Fang Yu did not stop there, because every time he tempered his body, he always felt that his physical body hadn't reached its peak.

Thus, he continued walking the path of cultivating his physical body until he reached ninety-nine temperings and finally stopped.

He could no longer temper his body; he felt his flesh had reached its limit.

Now, after swallowing the Sky Devourer Whale's inner pill, his physical body is actually actively tempering itself again!

The first hundred tempering!

Though excruciating pain wracked his body, Fang Yu's face was only filled with ecstasy!

According to some powerful cultivators' theories, each tempering of the body can make it twice as strong as before.

So, after undergoing one hundred temperings, what state would Fang Yu's physical body reach

Even Fang Yu couldn't imagine it.

His flesh was still burning hot, his pores completely open, emitting puffs of white vapor.

Moments later, Fang Yu's body emitted a dazzling golden glow!'s words." 。Zhao Jidao's face stiffened, and he immediately shut his mouth. 。To be honest, I've gotten rid of a bad apple for you. 。"Someone like Zou Hongru being able to enter the Xuanwu Group is a...
