Gu Mingyue could tell just how much Yang Caidie doted on Yang Chen.
Who in the Yang family didn’t know about Yang Caidie’s love for Yang Chen? Even a tiny scratch on Yang Chen’s body could break her heart. Yang Chen had grown up under her protection since he was a child.
Take Yang Heng for example; he dared only mock Yang Chen verbally and compete with him in alchemy. If he dared to harm a single hair on Yang Chen’s head, Yang Caidie would fight with Yang Heng’s entire family. Even Yang Heng’s father, who was more powerful than Yang Caidie, dared not provoke her because she was an unstoppable force when enraged.
In a nutshell, if anyone dared to hurt her brother, they would either take her life or she would take theirs.
Once Yang Caidie got angry, she could not be stopped even by nine bulls.
Gu Mingyue didn’t know whether having such a valiant sister who loved him so much was a good thing or a bad thing for Yang Chen.
Yang Chen was now wholeheartedly dedicated to his cultivation in seclusion and had no idea what was happening in the outside world. He had already concocted the Gravity Pill, which he took early, and was now in the process of refining and integrating it into his body. Meanwhile, his martial arts cultivation continued to advance.
For Yang Chen, it was very easy to concoct the Gravity Pill.
As long as he had the materials, he could guarantee the success of the pill.
Unfortunately, there was only one Fire Red Fruit. If he could concoct more Gravity Pills, even if the effect of using one would be diminished, reaching the Third Layer of Body Refining Realm would not be a problem for him.
However, a single Gravity Pill could definitely help Yang Chen break through the First Layer of the Body Refining Realm and even show signs of impacting the Third Layer.
About an hour later, the color on Yang Chen’s face gradually returned to normal. At that moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his Qi underwent a significant change compared to the past. It wasn’t difficult to see that after the refining of the Gravity Pill, he had entered the Second Layer of the Body Refining Realm from the First Layer.
He now possessed a strength of more than 500 jin.
Body Refining Realm First Layer, 100 jin of strength.
Body Refining Realm Second Layer, 400 jin of strength.
From then on, each additional layer would add 300 jin of strength.
Now, Yang Chen was in the middle-to-late stage of the Second Layer of the Body Refining Realm. As long as he could break through the 700 jin threshold, he could enter the Third Layer.
“I’ve never had this kind of strength throughout my whole body in the past.” Yang Chen sighed and lamented in his heart.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person. A strength of 100 jin was too difficult for him, let alone the current 500 jin.
What did 500 jin of strength represent?
It represented that his casual punch could shatter boulders.
Yang Chen muttered, “It’s a pity that the materials for concocting Gravity Pills are limited. At most, I could only reach the Second Layer of the Body Refining Realm now. Moreover, my alchemy equipment is too crude. I lack a Strange Fire and an innate fire, and my pill furnace is the most ordinary kind. I don’t even have a dedicated pill refining room.”
Strange Fire and pill furnaces were valuable treasures that helped in alchemy.
Fire control was an important part. If one possessed a Strange Fire, it would be much more efficient, and a valuable pill furnace even more so.
It is important to know that laying a foundation is crucial for martial artists. Many children who start training at the age of four or five often need to reach their early teens to enter the first layer of the Body Refining Realm. If they can reach the second layer, they are geniuses.
The later stages are even more difficult. Generally, it takes about forty to fifty years of age to reach the Body Refining Realm’s ninth layer or its peak. As for breaking through the Body Refining Realm to reach the Spirit Martial Realm, it depends largely on luck and opportunity. The Yang family, in fact, doesn’t have many practitioners in the Spirit Martial Realm, which shows its rarity.
Although the Body Refining Realm is not as rare as the Spirit Martial Realm, a solid foundation and slow progress must be achieved from childhood. Yang Caidie couldn’t understand what her brother could have achieved in these three days.
Yang Chen smiled softly, calm as ever: “Sister, Ming Yue, come with me to the courtyard.”
As he spoke, Yang Chen laughed and strode into the courtyard.
Various weights of stones were placed in the courtyard. Martial artists referred to them as ‘training stones,’ which were commonly used for practice. Another function was to test the strength of someone in the Body Refining Realm. If a person can lift a 300 jin stone, it means they have reached the peak of the first level of the Refining Realm and are close to the second level.
The Yang family’s “Coming of Age Ceremony” also relied on “training stones” to test the strength and achievements of the young generation in the clan. Geniuses like Yang Heng would most likely test themselves every day.
As a female genius of the Yang family, Yang Caidie naturally had some of these in her courtyard as well.
There were stones weighing from fifty jin to one thousand five hundred jin in the yard.
At this moment, Yang Chen stood in the courtyard with his hands on his back, “Sister, I’ll use the training stones to test my current strength. Just watch.”
Yang Caidie said worriedly, “Darling, don’t push yourself too hard. Start with a fifty jin stone! Cultivating martial arts must be gradual and ongoing…”
She kept nagging, but it seemed like Yang Chen didn’t hear a word, moving forward from the fifty jin stone, then to one hundred jin, one hundred fifty jin, two hundred jin…
“Young lady, Young master, he…” Gu Mingyue couldn’t keep her composure.
Yang Caidie was dumbfounded, not knowing what Yang Chen was up to. In fact, if Yang Chen could lift a fifty jin stone, she would definitely be overjoyed because it meant that her brother was a genius who could almost enter the first layer of the Body Refining Realm in just three days.
However, her brother didn’t even spare the fifty jin stone a glance.
What’s going on?
Yang Chen finally stopped beside a 500 jin stone.
He did not rub his fists like everyone else, but simply patted his palms, embraced the huge stone, and then shouted, “Up!”
In an instant, the 500 jin stone seemed to no longer weigh 500 jin. Yang Chen effortlessly lifted it over his head, holding it high up.
The next moment, Yang Chen threw the gigantic stone down with a thud.
Five hundred jin, successfully lifted.
This left Gu Mingyue with wide eyes, her mouth slightly open, tempting and exceptional, “Miss…Miss, did you accidentally switch the placement of the fifty jin and five hundred jin stones again?”
“No, I didn’t…” Yang Caidie confirmed that she had not misplaced it because the noise of the stone falling on the ground wasn’t something a fifty jin stone could make.
Surprise didn’t lack in her eyes compared to Gu Mingyue. At this moment, her chest heaved, those proud peaks provoking endless imagination.
Gu Mingyue didn’t know what to do: “Then how did Young Master…how did he do it?”
Yang Caidie mumbled, continuing to mumble for a while before gulping down saliva, “My brother…might be a genius!”
