4th stage of the Bone Strengthening Realm
In his own courtyard, Xue Bai turned on the Spiritual Qi Gathering Array and pulled out his favorite meditation mat from his Spatial Ring before sitting on top of it.
The Spiritual Qi Gathering Array was something he had at home too, but the one at his dukedom was merely a Peak Yellow-grade one.
However, the one in his courtyard was a Low Black-grade one, and while the difference was only one rank, Xue Bai felt the difference easily.
Absorbing Spiritual Qi from the air resembled drinking water from a lake, and the Spiritual Qi Gathering Array improved how one could drink it.
Without one, and in a barren land, a cultivator could only drink the water drop by drop, making their cultivation speed be as slow as possible. In a better cultivation environment, you could use your hands to bring the water to your mouth and help your cultivation speed.
Using his Spiritual Qi Gathering Array at home was like drinking from the lake with a straw. While it was effective, he could only take in so much. But now, in his new courtyard, it was like he was gulping the water directly from the source, which greatly increased his cultivation speed and efficiency.
So thankful for his Master's care, Xue Bai stopped thinking about anything unnecessary and began to break through.
He was already at the peak of the 3rd stage, so should nothing go wrong, he would be able to break through tonight.
However, before attempting to break through, Xue Bai went to open the Spatial Ring that Jiang Xiaorou gave him.
Since it was her greeting gift, and she was a Dharma Idol Realm cultivator, it couldn't possibly be anything worthless.
So with high expectations, Xue Bai infused some Spiritual Qi into the ring, where soon his consciousness went inside.
There he found a few hundred pill bottles stacked up into a small tower, ores piled up in the same manner, and finally, a dozen cases on the side.
Xue Bai recognized the cases of things that could keep the Spiritual Qi of a medicinal herb locked in, greatly increasing its lifespan after being unrooted.
"These pills must be something First Senior Sister created herself, while the other two must be things she found accidentally but had no use for." Xue Bai thought to himself.
Most of the pills that Xue Bai looked at were either High Yellow-grade Qi Replenishing Pills that were used to quickly replenish any lost Spiritual Qi, which was a very famous pill.
The other pills were also valuable and included many pills that the outside world would drool over.
Over a dozen Explosive Spiritual Qi Pills, which was the enhanced version of a Blood Ignition Pill that could work for even Law Engraving Realm cultivators.
A dozen Yang Essence Pills that could boost the cultivation speed of someone with a Fire Element Martial Vein.
And most noteworthy, a rare poison pill called a Sincerity Revealing Pill that, when fed to any cultivator below the Domain Lord Realm, could force them to speak only the truth for as long as it was in their system.
The ores and medicinal herbs were less valuable and appealing, with the best only being a High Yellow-grade Natural Treasure, but Xue Bai could tell that they weren't for him to use but rather to practice with.
Their master was a Blacksmith, while she was an Alchemist, and since Jiang Xiaorou didn't know which path Xue Bai would take, she just put both inside the Spatial Ring.
"First Senior Sister is such a tsundere." Xue Bai laughed.
Jiang Xiaorou looked so cold earlier, but she gave him such a nice greeting gift. She even acted as if she was driving away an invader rather than her Junior Brother.
'I'll repay this favor.' Xue Bai thought.
But since Jiang Xiaoru was currently much stronger than him, Xue Bai was once again reminded that strength mattered most.
So after putting away the Spatial Ring, Xue Bai returned to cultivating.
And after swallowing a Spirit Fruit from Senior Huli's Spatial Ring, Xue Bai began to attempt his breakthrough.
Once again, gathering the excess Spiritual Qi within him, Xue Bai, according to what his Father told him, started to stamp out the impurities from his bones.
Thankfully it was already the fourth time he had done this, making the pain a lot less than what he had experienced during his previous breakthroughs. And after an hour of bitter cultivation, the breakthrough naturally came bringing his cultivation to the 4th stage.
Standing up in satisfaction, Xue Bai once again stretched, filling his room with the sounds and crackling. And after giving his new body a few tests, Xue Bai was feeling refreshed.
But after the breakthrough, his skin was now covered in a thin layer of impurities and a thick stench.
Not wanting to go to sleep in such filth, Xue Bai decided to take a bath before going to sleep.
Every three stages in each Rrealm represented a small Realm and would usually be represented by a larger-than-normal combat power boost.
So for Xue Bai breaking through to the 4th stage of the Bone Strengthening Realm, he also managed to temper out a large chunk of the impurities within his Blood Marrow that inhibited the evolution of the human body.
The same process would happen at the 7th stage and the 10th stage. However, then, the combat power boost would be a lot less than it was now, as the first impurity expunging was always the most thorough.
Following ones would only temper out the hidden and much less impactful impurities.
Taking a quick bath, Xue Bai changed into a set of plain sleepwear he owned before falling asleep on his new bed in a foreign region for the first time.
'Life is good.' Xue Bai smiled as he fell into a deep sleep.
In the dream, he once again relived the life of the Soaring Sword Sect Founder, but this time the dream was much more focused and detailed.
Allowing Xue Bai to comprehend his Sword Law in a deeper state, further increasing its strength.
He also learned that Sword laws had a ranking that followed how deeply one comprehended their own Sword Law.
The first Realm of Sword Law had its progress mapped out in a percentage-based system that went to 100%.
And was further sectioned out into six stages; Entry Level 1-20%, Small Success 21-40%, Great Success 41-60%, Sublimity 61-80%, Perfection 81-99, and finally, Transcendence 100%.
Xue Bai also found out that currently, he was only at the Entry Level and merely at 5% in it at that.
But instead of dampening his spirits, it only further fueled his excitement.
In the game, Xue Bai, besides using it for flying around and masquerading around as Sword Immortal, had never used a sword. So he knew next to nothing about Sword Law and its intricacies.
So now, for Xue Bai to start his journey in it, he felt like an adventurer that was charting out new territories that had never been explored before.
Beyond the first Realm of Sword Law, Xue Bai sadly didn't find out the second Realm of Sword Law, but since the first six stages were more than enough for now, he wasn't very disappointed about it.
Xue Bai eventually woke up at sunrise, thanks to his natural body alarm clock. But for the first time, he was feeling annoyed at how responsible his body was.
"A little more, and I could've reached 10%." Xue Bai angrily spoke as he kicked his blanket off of himself.
Before going to sleep, Xue Bai's Sword Law progress was at 5%, but after waking up, it was at 9%.
The Soaring Sword Sect Founder hadn't lied when he said that comprehending Sword Law would be natural for Xue Bai.
With how educational and helpful the dreams had been, even a pig could've taken the first step in comprehending Sword Law, let alone Xue Bai, a historical talent!
However, Xue Bai was rather curious about how strong his combat power would translate or if it would even give him much of a power boost.
Currently, with his Sword Law, Xue Bai knew that he was invincible in the Bone Strengthening Realm. But he couldn't truly estimate his strength, as the Flame Salamander he had fought earlier didn't even give him a fight but acted more like a dummy.
And he had also never tested himself against someone in the Organ Tempering Realm yet, making the approximation of his strength even vaguer.
He had no reference, after all.
And coupled with the fact that Xue Bai didn't know anyone in the early stages of the Organ Tempering Realm but Xiao'er, so his strength guess would stay vague.
Xiao'er was a medicine jar, and her combat power wasn't anything to even bring up.
Xue Bai couldn't even remember a time that Xiao'er even tried fighting other than that pitiful spar a few years ago when he first got his Space Element.
"I should ask Master to get an Outer Disciple." Xue Bai thought.
Since he also had nothing to do, Xue Bai decided to follow up on his idea, and after making sure Xiao'er was okay, Xue Bai planned to go to Yue Zifeng's Peak.
But at the courtyard of Xiao'er, Xue Bai found out that while she wasn't doing bad per se, she wasn't doing well either.
Currently, Xiao'er was still in a mediation state, cultivating, but from her rapidly fluctuating aura, Xue Bai could tell she was attempting a breakthrough to the 3rd stage of the Organ Tempering Realm.
However, from her furrowed brows, Xue Bai could tell she was struggling. He guessed that she tried to break through prematurely and didn't prepare enough Natural Treasures in case this situation happened.
Not wanting for her to suffer a backlash from failing to break through, or even worse, Spiritual Qi deviation, Xue Bai quickly ran over and fed Xiao'er a High Yellow-grade Spirit Fruit from Senior Huli's Spatial Ring.
Xiao'er feeling something at her lips, at first wanted to resist, but with her consciousness still focused on breaking through, was stuck in place.
"Xiao'er, it's me, don't worry." Xue Bai quickly spoke, thinking that Xiao'er mistook him for a scoundrel.
"This will help you breakthrough. Eat it." Xue Bai added, and thankfully, Xiao'er listened.
Swallowing the Spirit Fruit easily, the aura of Xiao'er, which was previously chaotic and unstable, soon stabilized.
And within the hour, her previous treacherous situation changed for the better.
Xiao'er broke through to the 3rd stage of the Organ Tempering Realm.
"Xiao'er, why didn't you prepare anything before trying to break through?" Xue Bai asked as she opened her eyes.
When going for a breakthrough, there were two things one needed to prepare. First, a good enough environment with plentiful Spiritual Qi, and in case of a lack of it, enough Natural Treasures that could help you take the final step should you need it.
So while Xiao'er checked the first box, she didn't check the second, which, worst come to worst, could've even crippled her.
"I suddenly felt that I was ready for the next stage and tried it instinctually." Xiao'er awkwardly responded, "I didn't think I would fall short at the last step."
Her excuse was reasonable, so Xue Bai didn't plan on lecturing her much. So after giving her some resources that he got from Jiang Xiaorou, Xue Bai left the Peak planning to ask his Master for some Outer Disciples to practice his new strength on.
