After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Zhan Chen went through many twists and turns, and finally bought another house in the outer suburbs of Zhongyu City and began to live in seclusion.
The training room in this house is built underground and covers an area of more than 100 square meters. The conditions are naturally much worse than Zhan Chen's in the City Lord's Mansion.
However, it also has advantages, that is, it is quiet and undisturbed. Zhan Chen has already refined a large number of eighth-grade elixirs for breakthroughs, so he is not bothered by the lack of spiritual energy. Naturally, he can make do with the simplicity and be at ease.
Breaking through the intermediate level of Martial Saint requires a long period of retreat. In fact, every breakthrough in the realm of Martial Saint takes years and months, because building the Holy Body is a step-by-step process.
From the Martial Emperor's Great Perfection to the Martial Saint's Initial Stage, the main transformation is the warrior's meridians, internal organs, nervous system, and brain functions; then from the Martial Saint's Initial Stage to the Martial Saint's Intermediate Stage, what is transformed is the warrior's skeleton.
After modification, the bones of intermediate warriors of the Martial Saint are as hard as the best imperial weapons. At least it requires a full blow from the Martial Saint's holy weapon to break them.
And strong bones make a warrior's strength even higher. Therefore, the strength of an intermediate Martial Saint is fully twice that of a primary Martial Saint.
In the training room, Zhan Chen was well prepared. He slowly ran the exercises over and over again, gradually adjusting his condition to the best. Then he took out a jade bottle from the Qiankun bag and took out a gold-mixed
The elixir exudes nine colors of elixir halo.
This elixir is called the Golden Bone Pill, and it is one of the nearly sixty eighth-grade elixir recipes that Zhan Chen obtained. Its effect is that it can greatly repair and strengthen the bones of a warrior, which is very helpful for him to break through to the intermediate level of the Martial Saint.
After taking the elixir, Zhan Chen slowly refined it, and the strong medicinal power immediately spread to the bones of his body and nourished them.
While the power of the elixir was taking effect, he gathered all his strength and finally launched a charge towards the bottleneck of the mid-level Martial Saint.
Three years of solid accumulation made Zhan Chen's breakthrough effortless. However, after successfully breaking through the bottleneck, the most critical moment came. The space in the Yuan furnace expanded, and the temperature inside increased sharply. The true energy in his body
Being further smelted and compressed by the Yuan Furnace, it became heavier and sharper. The real Yuan began to march towards the bones along Zhan Chen's meridians, constantly quenching out the impurities in them.
Just at this moment, Zhan Chen felt the pain that almost made him faint again. The pain was worse than last time, and this time it penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
He clenched his teeth fiercely and endured the pain, because he knew that the pain was the flame of Nirvana. Only after bathing in the fire could he gain new life and a more powerful power.
Zhan Chen's accumulation is very deep, and the mixed gold true essence is much stronger than the ordinary true essence, so the tempering effect on the bones is several times stronger than that of ordinary martial arts saints, and the pain is also several times greater, very fast, and fine
Beads of sweat spread all over his body, and his whole body looked like he had just been fished out of the water.
Gradually, Zhan Chen felt that he could no longer hold on, and hurriedly began to recite the Diamond Sutra in his heart. This Buddhist mental method has a magical effect of stabilizing the mind, which relieved a lot of pain in his body and enabled him to persist for a long time.
.
The bones all over his body, being cleaned over and over again by the true essence, became more and more crystal clear, exuding a pearl-like luster, and the black impurities stripped from those bones were constantly being expelled from the skin.
to the outside of the body.
This process continues continuously, going through ninety-nine and eighty-one cycles, until there is no more impurity in the bone. At this time, the breakthrough is completely over.
In an instant, Zhan Chen felt that all the pain had finally gone away from him. His body seemed to be bathed in a clear and refreshing spring, and it was extremely refreshing. And there was a call of hunger and thirst in his body, which was to replenish his true energy. So he
He quickly put the prepared eighth-grade elixir into his mouth. With the support of sufficient elixir, his body regained its vitality again.
At this time, Zhan Chenzai opened his eyes and felt the power in his body, which was as deep as the ocean. He was extremely happy. Apart from the joy, he also felt emotional. If he hadn't stayed with Ouyang Zhongtian for twenty years, he wouldn't be like this.
A quick breakthrough. It would normally take two hundred years for a martial saint to break through to the first level.
After breaking through to the intermediate level of Martial Saint, the first thing he did was to run to the bathroom and wash off all the dirt on his skin. An hour later, he returned to the training room, sat on the futon, and took out the Qiankun bag.
After getting a piece of eighth-grade weapon refining material, I thought: the next step is to replenish the sharp gold energy.
At this moment, his spirit beast ring started to tremble, which immediately caught Zhan Chen's attention. He thought: Could it be that the little demon has already completed the advanced stage?
So, he quickly opened his spirit beast ring, and a white shadow immediately ran out of it. Wasn't it the little demon?
The advanced little demon has grown into a big guy. It is five meters long and two meters high, with a big furry tail that accounts for almost half of its body.
At this time, she was looking at Zhan Chen with tears in her eyes and shouted: Master, I've been calling you for a long time, but you haven't responded to me no matter what.
Zhan Chen was stunned for a moment, but then he figured it out. It was probably because Xiao Yao happened to wake up during his breakthrough, so he smiled apologetically and asked: Xiao Yao, are you hungry?
Well, do you even need to say it? Otherwise, why would I ask you? The little demon glared at him fiercely.
Zhan Chen smiled again, and immediately took out a bunch of elixirs from the Qiankun bag. These elixirs were all the medicinal materials he had saved when he was the alchemist of the city lord's palace for more than 20 years. Now he just happened to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha and give them to this little guy.
eat.
Looking at these elixirs, the little demon's eyes immediately flashed with countless little stars, and he hurriedly took these elixirs aside and ate them.
The little demon has finally become an eighth-level monster. By the way, the eighth-level monster should be able to transform, not to mention the little demon’s intelligence is so high. Zhan Chen suddenly thought of this, so he turned to the little demon.
The demon asked: Xiaoyao, you are now an eighth-level demon beast, can you change your shape?
What can I eat when I transform? The little demon raised her cute head and asked with a confused look on her face.
Seeing that she didn't understand anything, Zhan Chen had to explain to her: Transformation means becoming like me.
Like you, I am a woman and will not turn into a man. Xiaoyao shook her head.
Zhan Chen was dumbfounded by her, so he simply asked: Will you turn into a human?
The little demon thought about it for a long time before he seemed to suddenly realize it and said: Is this what you mean?
Then Zhan Chen saw an astonishing scene. The little demon's body suddenly burst into bright colorful light, and then she slowly shrank in size, and finally turned into a bright light source, so dazzling that people couldn't stand it.
Look at what's inside.
The light gradually weakened, and the appearance of a person appeared from it. At this time, Zhan Chen was extremely excited. He was already 90% sure that Xiaoyao would succeed.
Sure enough, when the light dissipated, a little girl walked out from inside. She was only about 1.2 meters tall, with a pretty face, black and smooth hair, big eyes, a perky nose, and a bright red mouth.
It is as alluring as a small cherry, especially the pair of dark eyes with long eyelashes, which sparkle with wisdom and brilliance, making them appear extremely agile.
At this time, Zhan Chen sincerely praised in his heart: This is really the miraculous work of nature to create such a magnificent work. This little girl will definitely be a radiant beauty when she grows up.
However, he was still a little puzzled: Why was there such a big difference between the transformations of little demons and ordinary eighth-level monsters?
The transformation of ordinary monsters at the eighth level usually only changes in shape and size, or they can walk like humans. The body generally retains most of the characteristics of monsters. Even the top ninth-level monsters will.
There are some demonic characteristics left on the body, and people can see through their identity at a glance.
However, there is not even a trace of these on the little demon. If Zhan Chen were not her master, seeing this appearance, he would never have thought that her true identity was a monster.
However, these are no longer important. At this moment, Zhan Chen has been completely blown away by the cuteness of her transformation into a human being. Just like a father looking at his newly born daughter, a feeling of love arose in his heart.
The little demon's infinite affection made him unable to help but say this: "Call me daddy"
The little demon was stunned for a moment, then took a few small steps back in fear, and asked fearfully: Master, what's wrong with you?
Only then did Zhan Chen come back to his senses, touched his head awkwardly, and said with a smile: It's nothing, I just want to discuss with you whether you can call me dad instead of master. It's true that he has never raised a daughter.
, so why did I have this strong impulse in my heart.
The little demon stared at him doubtfully for a long time, but did not agree.
Zhan Chen got angry, took out a few more boxes of top-quality elixirs, and shouted: "Call me dad, these are all yours."
When Daddy Xiaoyao saw the elixir, a flash of ecstasy flashed in his eyes, and he shouted immediately without even thinking about it.
Hey, Zhan Chen finally felt more comfortable when he heard the little demon shouting like this.
From then on, Zhan Chen lost a follower and gained a daughter.
Then, Zhan Chen immediately pushed open the door of the training room and walked out of the room. This was the first time he left his training room in three years. As soon as he left the training room, he went straight to Zhongyu City and did two things. The first
One is to spend a high price of 500,000 top-grade yuan stones to buy the best top-grade spirit beast ring. The original one is no longer suitable for the little demon to live in.
Before, fortunately, the little demon was petite compared to other monsters, so it could barely stay.
Now I have replaced it with a top-quality spirit beast ring, which will be enough at least until the little demon becomes a fairy beast.
The second is to buy her a lot of little girl clothes, both big and small. Speaking of which, Zhan Chen seemed quite embarrassed when he did this kind of thing for the first time.
When he returned to his villa, he immediately changed the little demon's clothes like this, and the little girl looked even more beautiful and lovely.
It wasn't until he put her into the spirit beast ring again that Zhan Chen's previous excitement gradually subsided and he returned to the embrace of reason. He sat on the futon, smiled helplessly and shook his head, joking to himself: Zhan Chen
, Zhan Chen, which one of your nerves is out of order today? What kind of things have you done? You don’t even care about cultivation.
But this was just something he said casually. In fact, his heart was full of satisfaction and joy. With this satisfaction and joy, he entered into retreat again.
