Elderly Prince: My Spirit Increases by 1 Point Daily

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: One in Ten Thousand

The next evening, after putting the Fox Girl, the Qiuci Dancer, and the new Palace Maid in his Sleeping Palace to sleep... Xia Wuyang confirmed they wouldn’t be waking up anytime soon, then stealthily entered the Practice Room.

Outside, the night was as tranquil as still water, while inside the Practice Room, Luminous Pearls shone brightly.

Xia Wushang’s Meditation Mat, Xia Wushang’s Sandalwood Luminous Sea Pearl, Xia Wushang’s Jade Pendant... all of it was now with Xia Wuyang, maxing out his auxiliary effects to the point of overflowing.

He sat cross-legged with the gleaming Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit before him. At first glance, it didn’t look like a fruit at all, but rather a treasure carved from jade.

It was the first time in his life he had ever seen such a Special Miracle Treasure; it felt surreal, like something from a dream.

’A complete transformation happens tonight!’

A smile touched the corner of Xia Wuyang’s lips. He took a deep breath, sensing his perfectly aligned Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and carefully placed the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit into his mouth.

The fruit’s flesh dissolved the moment it entered his mouth. This wasn’t the ”melts in your mouth” that so-called gourmets from his past life boasted about; this was the real deal.

It transformed into a gentle, warm current that flowed down Xia Wuyang’s throat and into every inch of his body.

Unlike the gentleness of the Celestial Water Essence, this power was purer and more magnificent, as if it contained the very origin of all things.

At first, nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but soon Xia Wuyang felt the Qi Blood throughout his body begin to boil.

The medicinal power of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit, like a gentle spring rain, seeped into every inch of his skin, flesh, organs, and bones... It was silent yet all-pervasive.

”Ugh...”

Soon, Xia Wuyang began to feel pain. Every organ in his body felt as if it had been cast into a furnace—scorched by flames, cleansed by pure springs, hacked by swords, and hammered by great mallets. The medicinal power of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit was reshaping his body in a way that was both domineering and gentle, enhancing his Talent and Qualification.

Talent was increasing...

Qualification was increasing...

Comprehension was increasing...

Spirit was increasing...

...

It was a comprehensive and all-encompassing improvement, a fundamental enhancement from the ground up.

As time ticked by, a faint mist began to rise from Xia Wuyang’s body. Mixed within this mist were wisps of black vapor—the impurities and filth that had accumulated in his body over many years.

His entire being became clearer, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders, finally allowing him to move forward unburdened.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit not only improved his qualification but also healed hidden injuries accumulated on his cultivation path. It enhanced his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and strengthened his Foundation. The boost to his Comprehension, in particular, was an incredibly rare opportunity.

His mind became clearer than ever before, and all sorts of insights sprang forth. The Stealth Technique and Shadow Escape Sword Technique he had just acquired were fully comprehended in a short time, and he would soon be able to practice them.

Many difficult problems he had encountered in his cultivation were also solved in an instant. The essence of the Dragon Tiger Fist, the mysteries of the Soul Capturing Technique, the secrets of the Dragon and Phoenix Body Technique... the key points of all his Cultivation Techniques, Combat Techniques, and Secret Techniques suddenly became crystal clear.

’So that’s how it is...’

Xia Wuyang subconsciously began to execute the Dragon Tiger Fist. Compared to before, each move now possessed an indescribable charm. Not only did it suit him better, but its power had also increased significantly.

As his fundamental Cultivation Technique, the stronger his Dragon Tiger Fist became, the stronger his overall power and combat effectiveness would be.

His understanding of the Martial Dao had also reached a new level.

At the same time, Xia Wuyang’s skin became tougher, his muscles more resilient, and his blood vessels wider... The circulation speed of his Qi Blood increased by a large percentage, and his physical body had undergone an astonishing transformation.

”DONG...”

At a certain moment, a sound like the striking of an evening drum resounded from within his body. At that instant, Xia Wuyang’s Talent and Qualification broke through to a new level, reaching a higher realm.

One in ten thousand!

A single Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit had indeed raised his Talent and Qualification by a full level, allowing him to catch up to the top-ranking Princes and Princesses.

The level above this was Extraordinary Talent. Even across the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there were only a handful of peerless geniuses who could reach such a level.

Among the many Princes and Princesses, only two or three had reached it.

However, reaching the level of Extraordinary Talent was likely impossible without several Special Miracle Treasures. Having been transmigrated at birth, Xia Wuyang had only just obtained his first one after so many years—and he had to steal it. Just thinking about acquiring several more was enough to know how difficult it would be.

After the breakthrough, there wasn’t much medicinal power left. After a brief period of consolidation, the power of the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit was completely gone.

Still, to be able to raise his Talent and Qualification from one-in-a-thousand to one-in-ten-thousand was a massive gain.

Xia Wuyang slowly opened his eyes. Light swirled within his pupils, as if a Star River was being born and extinguished within them.

He gently clenched his fist, feeling the all-around enhancement of his body, a broad smile spreading across his face.

’It’s time!’

With his Talent and Qualification enhanced, his Cultivation Foundation more stable, and his Essence, Qi, and Spirit stronger, it was time to break through to the next realm.

Xia Wuyang sat in the center of the Quiet Chamber, his aura as deep as an abyss. He slowly circulated the Dragon Tiger Fist, and the Qi Blood within him surged like a mighty, ceaseless river.

His six organs also began to play their part. The Golden Essence of the Gallbladder kept his Heart Spirit absolutely clear, while his stomach acted like a furnace, efficiently utilizing every bit of medicinal power...

Xia Wuyang began his assault on the next level. He had originally thought he would need to wait several more weeks, but thanks to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit, he had saved that time.

”BOOM...”

As dawn approached, a dull roar echoed from within Xia Wuyang’s body. The bottleneck to the Third Grade Middle Stage shattered, and a torrent of Qi Blood, like a flood bursting through a dam, surged deeper into his six organs to permeate and temper them.

Xia Wuyang could clearly feel his Power rising steadily, his Defense rising steadily, and his Qi Blood rising steadily... Under the permeation and cleansing of the Qi Blood, every cell in his six organs absorbed this majestic power while enduring its tempering and refinement.

25,000 kilograms!

Before he knew it, Xia Wuyang’s Power had broken through 25,000 kilograms—or 50,000 jin—the equivalent of twenty-five tons in his past life.

This was his pure physical strength, his Basic Power, with no enhancements whatsoever. With the right Combat Techniques and Secret Techniques, as well as a suitable weapon, his destructive force could multiply several times over.

His speed had also increased greatly. With the slightest movement, he could shuttle across the Practice Room like a phantom.

His base speed had astonishingly reached 100 kilometers per hour, and this was without the aid of any Combat Techniques, Secret Techniques, or weapons. With those enhancements, how fast could he become?

Coincidentally, Xia Wuyang had recently obtained a pair of Top Level boots from his dear sister.

The Cyan Cloud Boots!
