Chapter 1839 - 174: The Great Secrets of the Human Body, Touching New Realms!

Three days slipped by silently like flowing water.

During these three days, Prince Zhenbei and Beicang King nearly turned Celestial Palace City upside down.

The city’s major families, business associations, pharmacies, and the estates of military officials—anything remotely related to "Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures", regardless of its grade, age, or condition—was transported by cart to the ruins in front of the assembly hall.

Jiang Ning accepted all without refusal.

He sat cross-legged on the ruins like a tireless Taotie beast, inhaling a cartload at a time, refining them in a single breath.

The medicinal power surged through him like a torrent, continuously accumulating, transforming, and converting into Source Points and Cultivation Technique Experience Value, propelling him step by step to higher levels.

For three days, he did not close his eyes, continually refining the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures being delivered.

The impurities and waste gases exhaled, the opening and closing of his pores, suffused a faint medicinal fragrance around him, lingering for a long time.

Later, the waste gases enveloping him shrouded him entirely in a mist-like, ethereal fog.

Prince Zhenbei and Beicang King personally escorted the materials daily, witnessing massive cartloads of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, an amount even martial artists like them couldn’t consume, disappearing without a trace before Jiang Ning like mud cows entering the sea, their hearts numbed with shock.

They had never seen such a mysterious and efficient refining method.

Simultaneously, they could see that Jiang Ning’s final refining rate of these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures reached nearly a hundred percent.

More critically, there is three parts poison in every medicine, toxic build-up with sufficient quantity is inevitable even for those as strong as Martial Arts Peak, requiring time to expel and refine.

Yet with Jiang Ning, these issues were nonexistent, nonexistent.

No negative effects, yet achieving nearly a hundred percent final refining rate.

Moreover, they could feel the growing oppression they felt from Jiang Ning in recent days.

With Jiang Ning, enhancement seemed to know no bottleneck.

Daily, hourly, continuously advancing.

.....

On the evening of the third day.

When the last cart was pushed before the assembly hall, the wooden boxes on the cart were considerably smaller than any previous batch, consisting merely of three small boxes.

Prince Zhenbei personally brought these three boxes before Jiang Ning, with a hint of remorse and helplessness on his face.

"My Lord, this is the last batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could be scavenged from Celestial Palace City." Prince Zhenbei bowed, the tone tinged with apology, "The major and minor families in the city, business associations, pharmacies, even the army’s privately stashed medicinal materials were requisitioned by us. Scraping the ground three feet deep, the contents of these three boxes vary in quality but are the last salvageable offerings."

Beicang King stood aside and nodded: "Indeed, we’ve exhausted it."

Jiang Ning also nodded.

His gaze swept from the wooden boxes on the cart to the two men.

Three days and nights of continuous devouring cultivation had left him with an aura of profoundness and steadiness.

The divine light in his eyes was restrained, no longer flashing the sharpness seen days before.

"I appreciate your hard work. The effort of these three days will not be forgotten," he said.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the box lids opened synchronously.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within were even fewer than he anticipated, mainly ordinary herbs with insufficient age, and some mediocre ores, evidently the last stockpiles salvaged in the city.

He did not disdain them, as he had said before—quality is not restricted, the more the better.

The next moment.

He took a breath, swallowing all the resources from the three small boxes into his abdomen in a flash.

In mere seconds, the medicinal power dispersed within his body, not as vast as previous days, but still transforming into a trickling stream, flowing into his limbs and bones.

After several breaths, the pores on his body expanded, expelling the last batch of waste gases and impurities, as he slowly opened his eyes.

[Source Point +3.2]

He glanced at the prompt on the panel, his gaze then falling on the Source Points column.

[Source Points]: 933.3

Three days and nights, nearly exhausting all of Celestial Palace City’s resource accumulation, finally brought his Source Points to a standstill at nine hundred and thirty-three.

To him, this number was once astronomical.

Overall, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of Celestial Palace City provided him with over a thousand points of Source Point accumulation.

Yet regarding his next target, this number still falls short.

He took a deep breath, his gaze then falling on the Skill column.

[Skill]:

Spirit Platform True Self Expression + (Eight times broken limit 90000/90000) (trait: True Self Unique (Deep Gold), True Spirit Perception (Light Gold), Three Elements Unification (Light Gold), Clairvoyance (Light Gold), Spiritual Wisdom (Light Gold))

Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill (Nine times limit-breaking 100000/100000) (trait: Whale Swallowing (Deep Gold) Dan Sea (Light Purple) Dragon Tendon (Light Gold) Dragon Body (Deep Gold) Innate Spiritual Light (Light Gold))

Both cultivation techniques have reached Perfection.

Now he only lacks that last push needed for breakthrough, which is Source Points.

His gaze swept back and forth between the two cultivation techniques, his mind swiftly weighing them.

The next break limit of Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill requires a staggering one thousand Source Points. However, he currently only has nine hundred and thirty-three points, sixty-seven points short, unable to gather them in a short time.

Because Celestial Palace City has been turned upside down by Prince Zhenbei and Beicang King.

But returning to the Royal Capital should not be difficult.

Not to mention other things, he could visit Ji Minghao once, and Ji Minghao would have to find a way to obtain these resources for him.

After all, whether it was to Five Mountains City or to Celestial Palace City this trip, he genuinely helped Ji Minghao solidify his Imperial Throne and imperial power.
