The Fourth Level of Body Tempering

Chapter 12: The Fourth Level of Body Tempering
Zhou Dan didn't know that Zhou Kang had already decided to kill him. At this time, he was still secluded in his small dark room, constantly consolidating his current realm.
When it comes to cultivating the Tao, it is important to proceed step by step. Advancing too quickly will lead to an unstable foundation, which will ultimately ruin your future.
Of course, if one wants to suddenly reach a higher realm, it also depends on one's own aptitude. For example, some people are born with narrow meridians and are not suitable for cultivation. Even if they are forced to practice, they can only reach the first level of Body Tempering in the end. The probability of reaching the second level of Body Tempering is less than one percent, because the narrow meridians cannot withstand the vigorous blood and energy.
The further you advance in the Body Tempering Stage, the richer your Qi and blood will become. If you force yourself to practice despite having narrow meridians, that is simply seeking death.
Zhou Dan not only took meridian pills that had the effect of strengthening his meridians, but also had his meridians tempered and transformed by the protective Buddhist beads. As a result, his meridians became wider and tougher.
Similarly, the more benefits you get, the more you have to pay. For example, the resources Zhou Dan needs to go from the first level of body tempering to the second level of body tempering are several times that of a normal person.
Generally speaking, a fist-sized blood essence stone is enough for an ordinary person to advance from the first level of body tempering to the fourth level of body tempering. However, Zhou Dan spent four blood essence stones to reach the third level of body tempering. The difference is self-evident.
A few hours later, Zhou Dan opened his eyes, and two extremely sharp rays of light shot out from his eyes. The spiritual energy of the entire small dark room actually trembled slightly at this moment, and it began to stagnate, but it soon returned to calm.
This small dark room was specially prepared for Zhou Dan by the family. After all, Zhou Dan was extremely talented at the time and was admitted to Liuzhou College at a young age. Naturally, the Zhou family did their best to train him.
It's just that after Zhou Dan was plotted against, his cultivation was destroyed and he hadn't entered the small dark room to practice for more than ten days. Now that his meridians have recovered, in order to consolidate his realm, he naturally needs to find a place with an excellent environment, and this small dark room is the first choice.
"It took several hours, and my realm is finally consolidated." Zhou Dan was in high spirits. Although his current strength could not be compared with the past, Zhou Dan was not discouraged. What belonged to him would come back one day.
"The family meeting will be held in a month. That will be the time for me, Zhou Dan, to regain my dignity!" Zhou Dan knew clearly that only by waiting for the family meeting to come and making a big splash would the Zhou family fight to the death to protect him.
Just imagine, a person who was abandoned showed his brilliance again a month later. Such an absurd thing was enough to shock the top leaders of the Zhou family. Even if Panxi Sect asked the Zhou family for an explanation, the Zhou family would never abolish Zhou Dan again. Because they all knew that Zhou Dan, who was destroyed and then rebuilt, would have an immeasurable future.
"Zhou Kang and I are in a situation where we cannot stop fighting until one day or another. Now that Grandpa Zhou Lu is not around, I am afraid that if I cannot stand out, I will end up being useless." Zhou Dan knew the seriousness of the matter. Now Zhou Lu was out to help him find a way to treat his meridians. He didn't know if Zhou Lu would be able to come back in a month. If he didn't show up, Zhou Dan would have to rely on himself.
Zhou Yong has plotted against Zhou Dan time and again. Zhou Kang, as Zhou Yong's grandson, is also full of hostility towards Zhou Dan. As a result, if Zhou Dan cannot get the support of the top family members, he will probably have trouble moving forward. Fortunately, Zhou Lu has already made a harsh statement that anyone who bullies Zhou Dan is against him.
Now Zhou Yong no longer dares to attack Zhou Dan openly, but he can still do some small actions in private. As for Zhou Kang, it goes without saying that he always wants to kill Zhou Dan.
"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. But if someone offends me, I will pay them back double." Zhou Dan clenched his fists, and suddenly there was a crackling sound in his bones, followed by a soul-stirring aura rising up. He knew how to endure, but everyone has a bottom line. When someone violates this bottom line, there is no need to endure it anymore.
If it were the Zhou Dan of the past, he would probably go to Zhou Yong to question him as soon as he knew the truth, but the current Zhou Dan would not do that, because his strength is not enough, and there would be absolutely no result even if he went. So everything has to wait until he has the strength recognized by the family, and this family meeting is a perfect opportunity.
Zhou Dan not only wants to take back what belongs to him, he also wants revenge and wash away the shame.
"There are only seven Blood Essence Stones left now. I wonder if these Blood Essence Stones can help me advance to the fifth level of Body Tempering." Zhou Dan looked at the Blood Essence Stones lying quietly on the ground, emitting a blood-red glow. He was unsure. After all, he had used up four Blood Essence Stones to break through to the third level of Body Tempering. Now he only has seven Blood Essence Stones. It may not be enough to successfully advance two levels.
Zhou Dan's meridians are not only tough but also wide. Normally, one or two blood essence stones are enough to advance to the fifth level of body tempering. However, this may not work for Zhou Dan. The width of his meridians is several times that of ordinary people, enough to accommodate more blood and energy. Therefore, it is quite difficult for him to advance smoothly.
But no matter what, you won’t know until you try it.
Zhou Dan immediately took off his shirt, put a blood essence stone in his mouth, placed a blood essence stone on each shoulder, and held blood essence stones tightly in his hands. He actually planned to directly absorb five blood essence stones during this practice.
Zhou Dan's body has been tempered by the protective Buddhist beads, and his whole body has the ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, for Zhou Dan, whether the blood essence stone is held in his mouth or placed between his palms, his body can absorb it.
As Zhou Dan closed his eyes and began to practice, the spiritual energy in the small dark room suddenly became active. Undetectable spiritual energy turned into faint light and merged into Zhou Dan's body.
As soon as the spiritual energy entered the body, Zhou Dan immediately led the spiritual energy to flow along the meridians. After five cycles, Zhou Dan finally led the spiritual energy into the dantian to replenish and nourish the dantian.
The originally vast spiritual energy was refined by Zhou Dan into tiny strands, and then passed into Dantian, receiving the pure spiritual energy supply. Dantian also began to produce qi and blood in large quantities. Drops of qi and blood continuously overflowed from Zhou Dan's Dantian and merged into the qi and blood in the meridians, making his qi and blood more rich and refined.
In this way, Zhou Dan began to practice without sleep, and ten days passed quietly without leaving a cloud.
"Finally, I've reached the fourth level of Body Tempering!" During these ten days, Zhou Dan's greatest achievement was successfully entering the fourth level of Body Tempering. However, when Zhou Dan looked at the palm of his hand, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, as he saw that his five Blood Essence Stones had dissipated. In other words, Zhou Dan had spent five Blood Essence Stones again to enter the fourth level of Body Tempering.
"In total, I have used up eight Blood Essence Stones. It seems that it is quite difficult to advance to the fifth level of Body Tempering." Zhou Dan was very depressed. If these eight Blood Essence Stones were given to ordinary people, they would have already reached the ninth level of Body Tempering or even entered the Yin-Yang Realm. However, when used on him, the effect was less than half of that of others.
However, Zhou Dan's depressed look was soon replaced by a smile. Although he is now in the fourth level of Body Tempering, his strength is not inferior to that of an ordinary sixth level of Body Tempering, reaching six thousand four hundred pounds.
The normal sixth level of body tempering has a force of 6,400 kilograms, but now Zhou Dan has reached this level with the fourth level of body tempering. This is the only thing that makes Zhou Dan feel relieved.
In fact, Zhou Dan knew that the reason why he could possess the strength of the sixth level of Body Tempering when he was still in the fourth level of Body Tempering was entirely because the Protective Buddhist Beads had transformed his body. In the past, although Zhou Dan was very strong, he was no different from a normal soul master. He had a strength of 200 kilograms at the first level of Body Tempering and 400 kilograms at the second level of Body Tempering.
Although eight pieces of blood essence stones were spent, Zhou Dan didn't feel sorry at all. Strength is the foundation, and it would be foolish to keep the resources unused.
"It seems that I need to go to the Blood Cave again if I want to enter the fifth level of Body Tempering."
The Blood Cave is where the blood python resides. It was also the monster's tomb that Zhou Dan discovered when he was being chased by the demon ape. Zhou Dan called it the Blood Cave.
Zhou Dan is not in a hurry to break through now. Consolidating his cultivation is the most important thing. However, he has broken through four realms in a row in the past ten days. I am afraid that no one in the Panxi Mountain area can match this speed. If Zhou Dan is not satisfied, I am afraid that other geniuses will just find a piece of tofu to hit themselves to death.
After spending half a day, Zhou Dan finally consolidated his existing strength. In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Dan left the small dark room, washed up simply, and his whole temperament changed slightly, which made him, who was already handsome, even more attractive to the opposite sex.
This is a building of huge scale and shaped like a tower. It is the Zhou family’s Sutra Library!
Zhou Dan looked up and gazed at the tower-shaped building that was more than 20 meters high. He couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart. Perhaps only the four major families had the ability to build a building of such a scale.
"Master Zhou Dan."
Despite his emotion, Zhou Dan arrived at the door of the Sutra Repository, where the two guards guarding the door said with a little respect.
"Yeah." Zhou Dan nodded, and without stopping for too long, he immediately walked into the Sutra Library.
“Wait!”
At this moment, a sharp sneer came from behind, causing Zhou Dan to frown suddenly.
"Isn't this our Zhou family's genius, Master Zhou Dan?"
Before the person arrived, a disdainful voice was heard. A young man with fair skin was seen walking towards the Sutra Library with a young girl in his arms. They came directly in front of Zhou Dan and blocked his way.
“Get out of the way!”
Zhou Dan's face darkened slightly. The troubles really kept coming one after another. If this continued, there would be no end to it.
"Oh, you're still in a bad mood?" The white-faced man looked cold and said with a cold smile: "Do you know who you are talking to now?"
"I'll say it again, get out of my way!" Zhou Dan's blood flowed rapidly, and his momentum increased suddenly, and he actually pushed the white-faced man and the young girl in his arms back several steps.
