884: Chapter 877: The First Test Subject 884: Chapter 877: The First Test Subject In just over half a month’s time.
The number of Heaven Rank experts in the Wing Guard Team had surged from ninety to one hundred ninety, among which there were twenty at the High Grade Heaven Rank, one hundred twenty-nine at the Middle Grade Heaven Rank, and forty-one at the Lower Grade Heaven Rank.
Of course, this count did not include individuals like Sun Boyi; if Ye Chenfeng’s Body Tempering Elixir could be successfully developed, he would be able to create one hundred ninety Innate Realm masters in a short time.
Just the thought of that number was astounding enough.
During this period, besides helping the members of the Wing Guard Team at the Earth Rank level to improve their strength, Ye Chenfeng had been researching the Body Tempering Elixir recipe detailed on that piece of sheepskin.
He had recently learned from Xia Zining the medicinal properties of the necessary herbs for concocting the Body Tempering Elixir, and Ye Chenfeng wanted to try to substitute the ingredients with those from the Secular World.
The Body Tempering Elixir required a total of eighteen different herbs, and Ye Chenfeng had also found eighteen analogous herbs from the Secular World.
A few days ago, he had Ye Dongjian and Wu Kunming transport two truckloads of these herbs back to the Wind Guard Camp.
After multiple attempts at concoction, Ye Chenfeng finally managed to produce the Body Tempering Elixir using the herbs from the Secular World.
However, he knew that their medicinal strength might be much weaker, so the efficacy of the elixir might greatly diminish.
He desperately needed to find a way to overcome this issue.
Therefore, Ye Chenfeng had people build three pools that were eight meters long, eight meters wide, and one meter deep on an open space in the Wind Guard Camp.
He then moved the two truckloads of herbs to this space, and after estimating the capacity of the pools, he added water in proportion and then inserted the variously processed herbs into one of them.
Soon, the clear water in the entire pool transformed into a pale blood-red color, and waves of medicinal fragrance continuously drifted out.
If the potency of the Body Tempering Elixir that Ye Chenfeng concocted was indeed too weak, then he would have to count on sheer quantity for success.
Could this entire pool of the Body Tempering Elixir be enough to help a Heaven Rank master break through to the Innate Realm?
Now, Ye Chenfeng needed to find someone to test it.
As Ye Chenfeng finished preparing a pool of the Body Tempering Elixir, everyone in the Wind Guard Camp had congregated on this open space, eager to witness the moment Ye Chenfeng created a miracle.
Many onlookers began to breathe rapidly when they saw the elixir was ready—all were desperate to enhance their strength, the pursuit of which was a lifelong endeavor for them.
Ye Chenfeng was unsure who to let try the elixir first, so he posed the question, “The Body Tempering Elixir is now successfully concocted, but I still don’t know how effective this formula is.
Can this pool of Body Tempering Elixir help a Heaven Rank expert ascend to the Innate level?
Who is willing to be the first to try?”
Originally, Ye Chenfeng planned to try it himself first, but to his disappointment, it seemed the Body Tempering Elixir only worked for Ancient Martial Artists with True Energy Force inside their bodies.
For someone like him, who possessed Soul Force, immersing in the Body Tempering Elixir would induce no unusual changes inside the body.
“Chenfeng, my strength is already at the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm.
Let this old body of mine give it a try first!” Sun Boyi immediately volunteered.
However, right after Sun Boyi stepped forward, Wang Li also quickly spoke up, “Old Master Sun, please let me try first!
I’m desperately looking forward to advancing to the Innate Realm.
I implore Old Master Sun to yield to a younger one.”
Sun Boyi could naturally see what Wang Li was thinking.
This Body Tempering Elixir had just been prepared, and who knew if soaking in it might cause bodily harm?
Wang Li seemed willing to risk his safety, and he had always been very respectful toward Sun Boyi during their time together.
“Wang Li, what are you fighting so hard for?
Let me go first!” Ye Chenfeng’s little uncle Ye Dongjian also stepped forward.
But just as everyone else was still reacting, Wang Li jumped into the pool with a “plop.” As they waited, others like Wu Kunming would surely volunteer as well, so Wang Li made his point clear through action.
“Wang Li, aren’t you being a bit too cunning?
Competing with me for this?
No way, I’ll join you.”
Just as Ye Dongjian was about to jump into the pool, Ye Chenfeng quickly intervened, saying, “Uncle, I still don’t know if this pool of Body Tempering Elixir can help a Heaven Rank master breakthrough to the Innate Realm, so don’t jump in to cause a stir.
I will closely monitor Wang Li’s condition and will ensure that no harm comes to him.”
After Ye Chenfeng finished speaking, everyone present quieted down and watched intently as Wang Li sat in the medicinal pool.
Except for his head, he submerged every part of his body in the blood-red Body Tempering Elixir, while Ye Chenfeng released his Soul Force to constantly sense any changes within Wang Li’s body, ready to assist immediately should any adverse reactions occur.
Wang Li began to slowly circulate the True Energy Force within his body as he settled in the pool.
Initially, there were no changes, but as his True Energy Force began to operate, the entire pool started boiling without any apparent cause, tightly enveloping his body in the blood-red elixir.
Wang Li felt a force continuously squeezing every bone in his body, causing his chest to throb in pain.
Nonetheless, he also sensed a surging energy influx into his body, repeatedly assaulting his meridians and giving him the illusion that they might burst.
Veins bulged on his forehead as he clenched his teeth tightly.
Wang Li was desperately fighting against the pain and trying to assimilate this energy into his body.
The onlookers around the medicinal bath became tense after seeing Wang Li’s agonized expression.
Standing next to Ye Chenfeng, Ye Dongjian swallowed hard and said, “Chenfeng, I think Wang Li can’t hold on much longer.
Should we rescue him from the medicinal bath?”
Ye Chenfeng shook his head firmly because he sensed a continuous stream of energy flowing into Wang Li’s body.
As long as Wang Li could persist, he was certain to break through to the Innate Realm.
In Ye Chenfeng’s eyes, Wang Li had not yet reached a life-or-death moment.
Moreover, the Body Tempering Elixir only had an effect the first time it was used.
If Wang Li were rescued now, he would never be able to break through using the Body Tempering Elixir in the future.
Submerged in the medicinal bath, Wang Li also heard Ye Dongjian’s words.
With a painful and ferocious expression, he said, “Young Master Ye, please don’t rescue me.
I can still hold on.
I can still hold on.”
Sun Boyi, who was nearby, also nodded.
He too could feel the changes happening inside Wang Li’s body and added, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Wang Li.
I never imagined such a miraculous Body Tempering Elixir existed in this world.”
“Father, are you saying that this Body Tempering Elixir can really enable Wang Li to break through to the Innate Realm?” Ye Chenfeng’s grandfather, Sun Yang’an, asked Sun Boyi.
Sun Boyi shook his head and replied, “It’s still uncertain at the moment.
I only sense energy constantly entering Wang Li’s body.
As to whether Wang Li can leap over the chasm between the Earth Rank and the Innate Realm?
I am not very clear.”
After Sun Boyi answered Sun Yang’an’s question, quietness once again returned to the area around the medicinal bath.
As time ticked away second by second, the blood-red Body Tempering Elixir in the bath boiled more fiercely, and its color began to fade slowly.
As for Wang Li, his expression became incredibly tormented, his teeth biting down on his lips so hard that blood continuously seeped out.
Ye Chenfeng, the most sensitive person present, sensed that the True Energy Force inside Wang Li was reaching a critical point and that a breakthrough to the Innate Realm was imminent.
“Boom!”
Sure enough, just as Ye Chenfeng contemplated this, the blood-red elixir in the medicinal bath suddenly exploded.
Wang Li emanated a powerful aura and instantly advanced from the Earth Rank into the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm.
“Wang Li has truly ascended to the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm.
How potent can this elixir be?” Although Sun Boyi had been somewhat prepared, he was still incredibly shocked at witnessing Wang Li’s breakthrough to the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm.
“To directly break through to the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm like this?
It seems I can also break through to the Innate Realm,” Sun Yang’an excitedly said as everyone present was thrilled.
However, while everyone was ecstatic, Wang Li’s power continued to rise after breaking through to the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm.
When Sun Boyi felt this, his face suddenly changed, because Ye Chenfeng had only told them that the elixir could make Wang Li break through from the Earth Rank to the Innate Realm.
Sun Boyi had thought that Wang Li should step out of the medicinal bath after reaching the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm.
But when Sun Boyi sensed the energy within Wang Li once more, he said incredulously, “How is this possible?
Wang Li has now broken through to the Middle Stage of the Innate Realm?”
“His power is still rising, his power is still rising.
He has actually broken through to the Peak of the Innate Realm?
This, this, this…”
Sun Boyi’s throat went dry with astonishment, unable to utter another word at the end.
The rest of the people present were petrified by shock upon hearing Sun Boyi’s words.
The only one who remained calm was Ye Chenfeng.
When he sensed Wang Li’s breakthrough to the Peak of the Innate Realm, he breathed a sigh of relief, confirming his hypothesis was correct.
Since the potency of the Body Tempering Elixir he had prepared was slightly lacking, he used a greater quantity to compensate for the deficiency.
