Shadow Hack - Chapter 370

Chapter 370: One Day – A Thousand Miles

Time kept passing, and in a blink of an eye, one week was gone.

During that whole time, Li Yunmu had remained in his room, staying in his heavenly world to complement the innate deficiency in his constitution.

Every day, he would soak in the medicinal bath three times. After getting out of the bath, he would clearly sense the transformations in his body.

According to Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Method, human body was the root of everything. How much power one could accumulate as well as what level of power source they could hold—all of it depended on one’s flesh. Their physical strength also determined what was the highest level of power source they could sustain.

For an analogy, assume the human body was a glass. How large it was would determine the amount of water it could hold. The quality of the materials used to make it, in the meantime, would determine how hot could the temperature of the liquid be before the walls cracked.

That’s why although Li Yunmu possessed flame thunder energy, which was a divine level power, he couldn’t use it proficiently. He couldn’t cultivate or strengthen it, and every time he used it, he couldn’t be excessive or his body would be crushed.

“System, what’s the present strength of my physical body?”

On that day, Li Yunmu was finally unable to endure anymore and asked about the progress he had made. During the past five-six days, he could feel that he was becoming powerful every day, but he didn’t know by how much.

[Your fleshly body’s strength has already reached twenty-nine oxen. This is an incredible pace of development. Moreover host, your explosive flux energy has become even more formidable. Everything is strongly related to your cultivation of Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique,] the system replied concisely.

“What? Twenty-nine oxen?”

At that instant, Li Yunmu was frightened by his own progress in the past few days. He almost couldn’t believe that in six days in which he had been cultivating the Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique, the strength of his flesh had reached twenty-nine oxen. Compared to his initial strength of eighteen oxen, it was an increase of eleven.

What a terrifying progress speed!

In other words, his strength had increased by roughly two oxen every day. That was outrageous.

The system thought about it for a moment, then added, [Yes, apart from cultivating Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Method, you have also had five meals every day. Since you have eaten a large amount of extreme grade power grain, your progress had been quicker. Otherwise, others would eternally remain unable to achieve that sort of progress speed.]

Only Li Yunmu knew how he had passed the past six days.It would be difficult for others to replicate his cultivation manner.

Besides soaking in medicinal bath three times every day as well as rotating his flux energy according to Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique, he ate the amount of power grains which his body could sustain every day. It surpassed what even ordinary great flux masters used.

Usually, an ordinary great flux expert’s body could sustain at most twenty grains of extreme grade power grain to maintain bodily functions as well as improve their physical strength. This was the extreme limit.

Once their body informed them that it was full, they wouldn’t eat. That was because even if they ate more, it would be in vain. The extra power grains wouldn’t be absorbed by their body to be converted into strength.

However, Li Yunmu was different. Every day he ate five meals and consumed around thirty grains of extreme grade power grains each time. In other words, he consumed around one hundred and fifty grains of extreme grade power grain every day.

When his body’s absorption ability became better, he could even consume two hundred grains, which was easily ten times more than ordinary great flux masters.

The reason behind this was the medicinal bath based on the recipe in Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique as well as his cultivation of Great Sun Thunder Tyrant Body Muscle Marrow Secrets. Given this fact, the disparity between divine level body refining techniques compared to other body refining techniques could be easily witnessed.

Clearly, the world punishment which Li Yunmu had accidentally attracted had left behind a great boon for him, which he himself hadn’t realized until then. Although he couldn’t cultivate the deity level power source, as long as the great sun and thunder nurtured his body, the amount of power grains which could be absorbed by him would surpass that of flux experts of same level by several times.

Fortunately… there may be many things he lacked, but power grains, specifically extreme grade power grains, was one thing that he certainly didn’t lack.

Otherwise, given that every day he consumed more than a hundred of them, he’d have gone bankrupt long ago. The amount he consumed could be equalled to six-seven hundred inferior grade grains for ordinary people, or some seven hundred life points. Only the masters of the top ten rooms could probably bear such everyday expenses, and even them with extreme difficulty.

“Then what about the progress of strengthening flux points?” Li Yunmu enquired again.

[Your flux points have around eighty percent of natives’ strength.]

The system had clearly analyzed it long ago, given how quickly it had replied.

The strength of Li Yunmu’s flux points was only 60% of a native’s before he started cultivating Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique, but now it was close to 80%.

Although he still hadn’t repaired the flaw in his body completely, he was quickly getting close to it.

Li Yunmu was convinced that as long as he could soak in the medicinal bath for ten more days, there wouldn’t be much disparity between his flux points and those of a native. He would then be the first one to accomplish the long cherished dream of Earth’s quasi deities.

He suddenly recalled that tomorrow would be the day when he was supposed to meet up with Zheng Quan. Thinking about it, he decided to stop his seclusion for the time being.

“There’s still half a day left. Since my flux points have been strengthened, I should try to pour flux energy into them.”

Thinking about tomorrow when he would face unknown circumstances, Li Yunmu couldn’t feel satisfaction in his heart. Instead, he grasped the opportunity to increase his strength.

Since the strength of his flux points had been increased by 20%, more flux energy could be poured into the seventy-two flux points in his body.

The next instant, Li Yunmu took out a flux binding pill without any hesitation and swallowed it to begin cultivating again.

He could clearly sense that the nature of the power provided by the flux binding pill was similar to the flux energy crystals in his Earth. But even if the pill was extremely small in size, the flux energy contained within it far surpassed the amount accumulated within a high grade rainbow crystal.

“Such ample flux energy. How exactly is this flux binding pill refined?”

Until then, Li Yunmu hadn’t been able to figure out the method to refine flux binding pills. If he learned it, he could probably quickly catch up with to the people of Night or Wang Hu’s caliber.

Based on his understanding, a flux binding pill contained fifty times more flux energy than a rainbow flux crystal. It was no wonder then that one pill cost three hundred contribution points or thirty thousand life points.

Li Yunmu had only swallowed one pill, but the seventy-two flux points which had been recently broadened were filled completely. The total amount of time used was one hour and thirty minutes.

Not only did the flux binding pill contain fifty times more energy than a rainbow crystal, the absorption speed was also unprecedentedly quick. For Li Yunmu who experienced this sort of cultivation for the first time, it was like taking a rocket to travel after using a car for his whole life.

“System, what’s the current strength of my flux energy?” he asked.
