Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Breaking Through the Initiation Stage

The intense pain lasted for half an hour before it gradually subsided.

Zhao Huai leaned against the wall of the vat, barely able to sit up, and continued to absorb the medicinal power.

At this moment, his body was drenched in sweat as if he had just gone through a fierce battle. His entire body felt sticky and coated in a layer of gray, giving off an odd smell.

However, Zhao Huai was extremely excited because he found that the efficiency of the True Qi circulating in his meridians had greatly increased, and he had received nourishment from the medicinal bath.

His True Qi in his body was foggy, showing signs of transformation into True Vigor.

The Initiation Pill had only initially transformed his meridians, but even this initial transformation was already much stronger than refining qi.

The heat in his pubic region began to spread, flowing throughout his body, and slowly, he began to feel comfortable as if he were in a hot spring.

Zhao Huai’s bones had already received the blessing of the destiny “Refining Bones into Jade,” making them very hard. Now, after the bone marrow cleansing and tendon changing, his bones seemed to be coated with a layer of fluorescent powder, emitting a faint glow.

He was indeed following the normal process of foundation building, but after the first bone marrow cleansing and tendon changing, there was still a lot of medicinal power left in his body. This was because similar steps needed to be repeated several times.

Foundation building is a process of refining one’s cultivation.

The advantage of choosing a safe place for seclusion was obvious; he could stay in the basement for three days and nights without leaving.

During this time, he used all his efforts to transform the True Vigor in his body and absorb the medicinal power, giving birth to magic power.

True Vigor is the academic term, while magic power is the vernacular term.

After all, this was just the beginning.

One day and one night passed.

Zhao Huai suffered the agony of cleansing his marrow, and the same experience had to be repeated several times. Eventually, he became numb to it. At the same time, fewer impurities were emitted from his body, indicating that the bone marrow cleansing was reaching a limit.

Furthermore, his aptitude was indeed very ordinary. If he were an outstanding sect disciple, he might have successfully entered the Initiation Stage after just one marrow cleansing.

In his case, however, he had to go through this painful process multiple times.

Later on, Zhao Huai spent his time adjusting his body’s condition.

On the second night, he finally transformed all his True Qi into True Vigor.

His meridians were full of magic power, which was more solid and of higher quality than True Qi. They appeared foggy and were in the same state as clouds.

He discovered that even though he had completed more than half of the foundation building process, there was still plenty of medicinal power left in his body.

Zhao Huai didn’t hesitate to convert all of it into a source of his magic power.

This was an excellent opportunity to increase his magic power.

“It’s time to leave the isolation.”

Zhao Huai patted the dust off his clothes, changed into a white robe, and left the basement.

The furnishings of Huai’s pawnshop were excellent.

The basement was located underground on the left side of the study, on the right side was the kitchen, and behind him was the garden. Overall, it was connected to every corner.

When Zhao Huai came out of the basement, he arrived at the study.

The study was quaint and ancient. A rosewood Eight Immortals Table was on one side of the cases, with talisman paper, inkstone, and several tall stacks of business account records. A vase was next to the table with an open belly and blue and white porcelain, containing a dozen rolls of paper scrolls.

Further back stood a folding screen with red lacquer and golden flowers, and a glimpse of the bed could be seen.

The madam was arranging a vase of flowers in their home with dedication.

“Madam.”

Zhao Huai’s mouth curled up, and he placed his hands on her slim waist. Yu Qinghan turned her head to see who it was and revealed a delighted look. “Husband, did you exit isolation smoothly?”

Zhao Huai chuckled, “Yes, the isolation went smoothly. It took a while, but I made steady progress and had quite a few breakthroughs.”

“Cultivation is not as difficult as I imagined.”

“A breakthrough is good.”

Yu Qinghan’s smile deepened. Then she pouted and playfully lectured:

“For the first three stages of refining qi, you only need to be diligent and work hard, aided by pills. It’s normal to practice faster, but it won’t be that simple later.”

“I know, I’ll continue working hard.”

Seeing Zhao Huai’s serious attitude, Yu Qinghan showed a relieved smile, and then remembered something else:

“Husband, I’m thinking of renovating the shop soon, adding some decorations, and keeping some pets like cats and dogs. What do you think?”

“Of course, you can.”

Without a second thought, Zhao Huai eagerly agreed.

He had been used to living simply and low-profile when he was alone, so he hadn’t hired any servants or cared for plants, let alone pets.

Now that his wife was married to him, it’s time to improve the quality of life, adding some items, animals, and plants to make the place more cozy and home-like.

“Whatever the madam needs, just let me know. I’ll go out and buy it. After staying underground for three days, it’s a good time to get some fresh air.” Zhao Huai patted his chest, volunteering to run the errands.

Yu Qinghan picked up a piece of paper from the table, smiling, “Thank you,

Husband. Here’s the list of items. You can just buy according to it.”
