Chapter 49 – Organ Tempering!

Su Xing gave a slight nod upon seeing this.

He had previously experienced a simulation result where he offered Spirit rice but was tortured to death by an old Protector.

In that simulation, he had been too low in status to have any say, and that Grand Protector Zong seemed to be a radical from the Zealot Faction, which was why things had ended that way.

Protector Shadow, on the other hand, was somewhat more reasonable. As long as he acted carefully and kept his alchemy skills firmly in his own hands, there wouldn’t be any problems.

With that thought, Su Xing continued the simulation.

【Protector Shadow was overjoyed by this. He had his subordinates bring over a hundred medicinal herbs and ordered you to refine Healing Pills.】

【You spent three days refining one hundred Healing Pills, secretly withholding fifty pills and ninety herb specimens, offering up only fifty Healing Pills.】

【Upon hearing of your successful refinement, Protector Shadow came to inspect personally. He had his subordinates test your Healing Pills and discovered they had excellent therapeutic effects even on Master-stage Class Users.】

【Protector Shadow was very satisfied with your performance. He told you that as long as you worked diligently, within three years you would certainly become a new Elder.】

【You feigned being overwhelmed by his favor, becoming even more deferential toward Protector Shadow. He was even more pleased with your attitude and provided you with more spirit herbs, requesting you supply more pills.】

A peculiar expression crossed Su Xing’s face as he read this.

Good lord—a hundred herb specimens were enough to refine a thousand Healing Pills, yet he had only turned in fifty. That meant he had embezzled ninety-five percent of the materials.

“Damn, the me in the simulator seems to be a bit ruthless…”

Su Xing rubbed his chin, the corners of his mouth curling upward.

But within the Advent Cult, no one besides him understood alchemy. As long as he could deliver pills on schedule, he would never be discovered.

【Another month passed. You provided one hundred Healing Pills to the Advent Cult and indicated that you were capable of refining a pill called the Organ Tempering Pill, which could enhance a Class User’s strength.】

【Protector Shadow was greatly pleased upon hearing this. He immediately had his subordinates bring one hundred stalks of Yellow Immortal Essence and ordered you to provide them with one hundred Organ Tempering Pills.】

【One hundred stalks of Yellow Immortal Essence were more than enough to refine over a thousand Organ Tempering Pills. You spent a month refining one thousand Organ Tempering Pills, turned in the inferior ones, and then went into seclusion.】

【Within the Blessed Spirit Field, you selected several Organ Tempering Pills that were weak in potency but of exceptional quality. You intended to break through to the Organ Tempering realm.】

【Your Body Tempering cultivation had already reached Bone Forging Great Perfection over a year ago. Throughout this past year, you had felt your physique growing ever more complete, more powerful than at any point before. You had a premonition—this time, you could successfully break through to Organ Tempering.】

【You spent three days adjusting your body to peak condition. On a morning when vitality was at its most abundant, you swallowed an Organ Tempering Pill.】

【The primary ingredient of this Organ Tempering Pill, the Yellow Immortal Essence, was less than three years old. You had originally been over seventy percent confident in a successful breakthrough.】

【But after the Organ Tempering Pill entered your stomach, you realized you had still underestimated its potency.】

【A warm current surged through your body. You felt your temperature begin to rise, your skin gradually turning crimson. Your breathing grew rapid, and a dull pain began emanating from within your body.】

【The pain intensified. You felt as though your internal organs were about to be torn apart, a rending sensation from the very depths of your soul.】

【Endless agony continued to build within your body. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on your forehead. This pain would not dissipate quickly—it was relentless and sustained.】

【On the first day after taking the Organ Tempering Pill, the pain in your internal organs was beyond description, but through sheer tenacity you forced yourself to endure.】

【On the second day, the pain within your body gradually subsided. You noticed that your constitution was actually growing stronger, your strength seemingly thirty percent greater than before.】

【But you sat cross-legged in place, not daring to move at all. The slightest movement of your body would send endless waves of agony through your organs.】

【You gritted your teeth and persevered. Three more days passed in this manner.】

【By the sixth day, you could move freely again. Looking inward at your body, you discovered that a layer of faint golden light now enveloped each of your internal organs. You could feel that your organs were far more resilient than before, yet it seemed you still had not broken through to the Organ Tempering realm.】

【On the seventh day, you emerged from seclusion. Though you had not broken through to Organ Tempering, you could feel that your physical capabilities—especially the resilience of your internal organs—had improved tremendously compared to before.】

【You returned to the Advent Cult, spent several days refining next month’s supply of pills in advance, then went back to the Blessed Spirit Field to continue your seclusion.】

【You spent a week restoring your body to peak condition. With the experience from last time, you were confident you could handle another Organ Tempering Pill.】

【You swallowed an Organ Tempering Pill. It dissolved into a warm current that nourished your internal organs.】

【The pain arrived right on schedule, but perhaps because your constitution was stronger now, or perhaps because your tolerance for suffering had grown, you felt this time the pain was only half of what it had been before.】

【You sat cross-legged, maintaining steady, calm breathing to resist the agony in your organs.】

【Another week passed. To your amazement, you discovered that the radiance within your organs had grown ever more brilliant, seeming to approach a critical threshold. Once you broke past it, you would reach Organ Tempering!】

【The side effects of this second Organ Tempering Pill were far milder than the first time. After only three days of recuperation, your body had returned to peak condition.】

【You took an Organ Tempering Pill for the third time. You had a premonition—Organ Tempering was within reach.】

【The expected pain never came. You only felt your breathing grow lighter and more effortless with each breath, and this comfortable sensation, compared to the agony before, was so exquisite you nearly ascended to heaven on the spot.】

【You sat cross-legged with eyes closed, keeping your awareness firmly rooted within your body, continuously observing the changes in your internal organs.】

【Your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys—every organ of flesh and blood within you seemed to take on a life of its own. You could feel them breathing freely. You could feel them radiating joy.】

【The golden light surrounding your organs grew ever more resplendent, until it reached a certain threshold—and then returned to simplicity, fading back into plainness.】

【But when you opened your eyes again, you felt that everything had changed!】

【Your heart brimmed with greater vitality, allowing you to fight for far longer. Your lungs had grown so resilient they could let you breathe freely underwater. And your liver had become so powerful it could even grant immunity to certain toxins…】

【You felt your body filled with unprecedented vigor. You felt the strength within you multiply several times over in an instant!】

【You successfully broke through to the Organ Tempering realm!】
