Next to the ancient pool.

Jiang Yuan plucked a flower petal and put it in his mouth.

An overwhelming medicinal power instantaneously exploded in his mouth.

His two cheeks immediately turned bright red.

Jiang Yuan quickly closed his eyes, steadying his heart and calming his mind.

Mobilizing the qi and blood within his body to refine this pure and vast medicinal power.

At this time, signals of joy sprung from all over his body.

Just like a barren desert being suddenly hit by a torrential flood.

They all greedily absorbed this source of life.

After a while, Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with elation.

“Young Master, how are you feeling?”

Jiang Yuan clenched and unclenched his fists, revealing a joyful smile on his face.

“Great! Absolutely great!”

At this time, he felt the hollowness within him was smoothed over, and various parts of his body had seen some relief.

“Uncle Ma, protect me. I shall continue to refine this spirit plant.”

“Yes, Young Master!”

Old Ma responded.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan plucked another petal and popped it into his mouth.

He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, holding his breath and concentrating on refining the medication inside his body.

As time passed, one petal after another entered Jiang Yuan’s mouth.

By the time he had refined the third petal, he felt a sense of fulfillment surge within him

This indicated that the depletion of his body had been completely replenished.

As he refined the fourth petal.

He found that the overwhelming medicinal power began to seep into his marrow.

Blood comes from marrow, and marrow training is a prerequisite for blood renewal.

Marrow training is like frost, and the blood is like mercury.

Only by undergoing fundamental changes can the blood become mercury and the physical body achieves perfection.

Now, the medicinal power was seeping into his marrow.

The marrow was rapidly undergoing changes.

Suddenly, a feeling of numbness was born from the marrow.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan was overjoyed.

The first seven levels in the Body Forging Realm, marrow training is the most time-consuming.

Marrow, the most difficult to refine, can only be slowly honed by time.

It takes a long time, and without a medicinal bath recipe, the time consumed is even more terrifying.

Gu Mo’s fame at a young age is in no small part thanks to the support of Jiang Zhenyuan.

Without the support of Jiang Zhenyuan, and his misguided focus on swordsmanship, it would be nearly impossible for Gu Mo to have made it this far.

This is also why it is rare for those of poor family backgrounds to make a name for themselves.

Even if they possess remarkable talent, without sufficient resources, they will ultimately fade into mediocrity.

The journey of cultivation only has about a golden decade or so. Once middle age is reached, the qi and blood begin to decline from their peak.

Even those with outstanding talent will have very little fortune left.

Only the true geniuses can transcend the shackles of resources,

Such as Zhao Li of Dashun Prefecture.

But once these geniuses emerge, countless people would invest in them, and they would never lack resources.

As Jiang Yuan refined one petal after another.

His aura became increasingly strong, and Old Ma, who watched from the side, was filled with joy.

The stronger Jiang Yuan became, the more at ease he felt.

After a long while.

Jiang Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

By now, all the seven petals from the spirit plant had entered Jiang Yuan’s abdomen.

Only a few lone leaves remained.

“Young Master, how do you feel now?”

Jiang Yuan exhaled a foul breath: “Good, I’ve finally mastered marrow training!”

“That’s wonderful! The stronger you are, Young Master, the better off the Zhenyuan Escort Agency is!”

Jiang Yuan gave a subtle nod, filled with deep emotion.

It’s no wonder they are considered the true treasures of heaven and earth, their medicinal effects are terrifyingly potent.

Not only did it replenish the deficiencies in my body, but it also allowed my progress in marrow refining to reach great completion.

Now, I am not far from breaking through to the next realm.

I estimate that with three or five days to settle down a bit, I should enter the seventh layer of the Body Forging Realm, and become an accomplished expert in blood exchange.

No wonder the immortals in the legends are eager to possess these heaven and earth treasures.

Having personally experienced its effects, Jiang Yuan came to understand the truth of this.

The efficacy of this Hundred-Year Spirit Medicine far exceeds that of the Organ Refining Pill that has reached its peak grade.

The difference between the two is as vast as the gap between the clouds and mud.

The word “opportunity” is far too important!

It was worth it to spend twenty-three strands of Luck Power to get this Hundred-Year Spirit Medicine.

However, my Luck Power is nearly depleted now.

I don’t know when I will be able to fully bloom my Luck Seed.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan opened his Personal Dashboard to take a look.

[Name]: Jiang Yuan

[Realm]: Body Forging Realm Level 6

[Innate Fate]: Body of Dragon and Tiger (Blue), Outstanding Comprehension (green)

[Qi Yun Power]: 4 strands

[Luck Seed]: One low-level (Watering it with Qi Yun Power will allow it to explode, gaining a new Innate Fate. Currently, it can only gain Purple Innate Luck Energy at the most.)

I now have only four strands of Luck Power left, and even adding the strand that will birth on Gu Mo tomorrow is not enough to satisfy my Luck Seed’s requirement.

Jiang Yuan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

The Luck Power is far too scarce, and it is extremely difficult to acquire.

It seems that only geniuses possessing Purple Innate Luck Energy can be born with Luck Power.

In the entire Lin’an County, the only one who can birth Luck Power is Gu Mo.

Even Zhao Li, whose fame as a genius has spread from Dashun Prefecture to Lin’an County, and is known in both prefectures, is only at the blue level of Innate Fate.

It can be imagined how rare Purple Innate Fate is.

It’s more than a one in a million chance.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yuan feels an even bigger headache.

He then shook his head, deciding not to think about it.

Let it be!

It will be nurtured slowly, one strand at a time, and one day this Qi Yun Seed will bloom.

I just hope it doesn’t turn out to be a trash Innate Qi Luck.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan gathered his thoughts and dispelled his distractions.

“Uncle Ma, let’s go! It’s time to return!”

“Yes, Young Master!”

…

Atop the valley.

Two masked men in black looked down.

One of them looked puzzled, “That’s not right! I followed their traces all the way here, how could their traces suddenly disappear at this place?”

“Do you think they could have gone down these vines?”

The other one pointed at the thick vines.

Suddenly, the man’s eyes lit up, “Don’t say that, it might be true! Otherwise, with my tracking skills, there’s no way I could have lost them. Moreover, they made no effort to hide their tracks all the way, I couldn’t have missed it!”

“In that case, we’ll go down for a look.”

“Okay!”

Just then, the man exclaimed excitedly, “You were right, they are indeed down there, look over there!”

As he said this, he pointed forward.

In the cloud mist below, an old man and a young boy emerged from within.

“It’s indeed the son of Wind Thunder Sword–Jiang Zhenyuan, Jiang Yuan, and Ma Shizong.”

The other man’s eyes narrowed slightly, his face somewhat excited.

“Ma Shizong is right next to him, shall we attack?” the man asked in a low voice.

“Of course, both of us are at the sixth layer of the Body Forging Realm, the same as Ma Shizong. How could he possibly be a match for us! If we capture Jiang Yuan, there will certainly be rewards beyond cash, such as valuable techniques and secret formulas!”

The next moment, the two men dashed towards the location where Jiang Yuan and Ma Shizong had appeared.
