Chapter 21: Lian Chengyu exits Isolation
The Lian tribal clan's elders' compound late at night.
"Peng!" The door to the compound was pushed opened. A young man with a complexion as clear as jade walked out.
"Chengyu, why did you come out?" The Patriarch stood up the moment he saw the young man. Lian Chengyu had previously announced that he wanted to isolate himself till the Tai Ah Kingdom's warrior selection began.
Yet it had been less than a month before Lian Chengyu came out of isolation.
"My cultivation met some problems..." Lian Chengyu's expression didn't look good. He had planned to use two months to accumulate a strong base before using the desolate bones essence to breakthrough to the Purple Blood realm!
By doing so, his fundamentals will be strong, and having accumulated sufficient amounts, when he breakthroughs into the Purple Blood realm, he would reach the peak of the beginning stages of the Purple Blood realm. Among the others in the beginning stages of the Purple Blood realm, he would be able to keep his head up, and it would aid him in breaking through to an even higher realm in the future. It would be very beneficial!
Tai Ah Kingdom's warrior selection was particular about a warrior's fundamentals and cumulative progress. If Lian Chengyu could meet all those requirements, he could get the recognition of the Tai Ah Kingdom's officers during the warrior selection, and obtain excellent results.
However, the circumstances did not permit so. After picking dry the Lian Clan Herb Mountain, Lian Chengyu's cultivation had a slow development despite all the good herbs!
Lian Chengyu believed he had met his bottleneck.
In fact, the attitude towards martial arts mattered most when in isolation. With a good attitude, strong confidence and perseverance, it would be easy to break though.
When in self-doubt, thinking something was wrong with the cultivation process, such as hitting a bottleneck, it would inevitably cause a loss in momentum and make breaking through even tougher.
The psychological effect usually did not have significant effects, but Lian Chengyu had originally lacked the resources for his cultivation, but matters were made worse, causing Lian Chengyu's progress to be even slower. In the end, he chose to end his isolation prematurely.
By clearing his mind and taking a break before obtaining the desolate bone essence, he could then re-isolate himself to breakthrough into the Purple Blood realm.
This was Lian Chengyu's plans. It was a reasonable plan. Sometimes it happened that a breakthrough was not possible, but by taking a break resulted in miraculous insight, resulting in a breakthrough unknowingly.
"How has the refinement process of the desolate bones been?" Lian Chengyu asked the question that concerned him the most. This piece of desolate bone was his entire fortune and life!
"Yes, it's still going as planned, but... A few of the poor villagers involved in the refining were poisoned a few days ago. I was originally planning on letting them hang on a few days, but seeing they were doing badly, I gave them some Blood Thinning Pills. They have all recovered by now and will not affect the refinement."
Lian Chengyu knitted his eyebrows upon hearing it, "These trash are really useless. It's just been a few days and they can't take the toxicity from the Frost Python desolate bones! After eating the Blood Thinning Pills, it will overdraw on their vitality. Under such circumstances, they will die before the refinement of the desolate bones is done!"
