481 Breaking Through The Fourth Seal

The thousand-year Purple Cloud Wood was a kind of wood that was harder than rare metal. Its characteristic was extremely unique. It was highly poisonous, and the poison would infect a person's body once absorbed. Although it was extremely hard which made it difficult to ingest, it would be life-threatening if an ordinary person were to ingest even just a tiny bit of it.

The thousand-year Purple Cloud Wood was hard to come by for Soul Masters. It could enhance the elasticity and strength of human skin. The poison would go through an intriguing transformation after it was digested and integrated into one's soul skill. It could also turn a person's body more flexible. Even a piece of the thousand-year Purple Cloud Wood was equally rare. Although it had low demand in the market, it still commanded a high price.

Tang Wulin could not help but sigh when he looked at the four spirit items before him. It was only the fourth seal! If the quality of the required spirit items was already so high, what about the quality of those needed in the future? How could he not make more money? He would not be able to purchase those items if he did not make more money.

He thought to himself rather helplessly as he stood up to fetch a pot of clear water that he had prepared earlier.

The first thing that he added into the clear water was the Pine Ganoderma. After letting it soak for about ten minutes, he added the Velvet Skyreach Chrysanthemum.

As soon as the Velvet Skyreach Chrysanthemum was added into the mix, the clear water immediately turned to a pretty golden hue. When the water turned to gold, the thousand-year Pine Ganoderma began to release a faint brown color.

The third item that was added into the water was the thousand year Purple Cloud Wood. It was truly potent. A layer of ink-like color flowed out as soon as it was added into the water. In no time at all, it turned the pot of clear water muddy.

Old Tang had told Tang Wulin a secret about the recipe. He disclosed the characteristics of the Velvet Skyreach Chrysanthemum and the Purple Cloud Wood, and how the two spirit items complemented each other.

Among the four spirit items, the thousand-year Purple Cloud Wood's value was the lowest. It was mainly because it was too hard and difficult to use. It contained a high level of poison that would cause adverse effects in one's body. Therefore, there were not many people who dared to use it.

However, it was a completely different story when the thousand-year Purple Cloud Wood and the Velvet Skyreach Chrysanthemum were paired together.

The Velvet Skyreach Chrysanthemum could neutralize the Purple Cloud Wood. After the two spirit items were soaked in warm water, the combination of the two spirit items' medicinal properties would greatly reduce the Purple Cloud Wood's toxicity. It would break down its poison and turn it into usable medicine.

The value of this secret recipe alone would be difficult to estimate if it was spread out. The Purple Cloud Wood's value was only a sixth of the Velvet Skyreach Chrysanthemum. If the secret recipe was spread out, the value of the Purple Cloud Wood might skyrocket overnight.

When Tang Wulin saw the liquid turning darker over time in the pot, he brought out a bunch of thousand year Abundance Fruits. Instead of adding them into the pot, he popped the fruits into his mouth one after another.

The taste of the Abundance Fruit was not exactly palatable, it was extremely sour. Eating one resulted in a sour sensation in the teeth.

However, a rich life force would flow upward after he consumed each fruit. He was salivating as sweetness filled his mouth.

His whole body emitted a faint fragrance as he swallowed his saliva. He got carried away indulging in the fruit.

When Tang Wulin finished the bunch of thousand-year Abundance Fruits, his skin was covered with a sheen, not unlike the green of jade. He then lifted the pot before him with both hands and drank the dark liquid in big gulps.

The taste… To be honest, the taste was not very delicious.

The Abundance Fruits were sour, but the pot of liquid was a combination of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. Tang Wulin frowned as he drank it in big gulps. He did not think the taste was unpalatable as soon as he recalled the fortune that the pot of ingredients had cost him. He could not waste them, he could not waste any of them at all.

Tang Wulin's appetite turned out to be vital at that very moment. Although he felt a little full in his stomach after drinking the pot of water, it was still acceptable.

The three spirit items were still in the pot, and they did not dissolve in the clear water. However, the strange thing was that the three spirit items looked completely different from how they originally were.

The beautiful Velvet Skyreach Chrysanthemum had turned gray, and there was no fragrance left. The thousand-year Purple Cloud Wood had turned into an ordinary piece of wood, and the dark layer above the water was nowhere to be seen. The Pine Ganoderma was slightly better off, it only turned black, and there was no spirit left in it.

It was an excellent formula indeed! The three types of spirit items complemented each other based on the composition principle where each of their properties were released and merged. The pot of liquid had almost drained all of their medicinal properties.

His stomach began to rumble. The first thing that Tang Wulin felt was a wave of intense pain. It was as though he was afflicted with diarrhea.

He did not dare to delay and quickly sat with his legs crossed on his bed immediately. This was undeniably the beginning of the seal breakthrough process.

The Velvet Skyreach Chrysanthemum and Purple Cloud Wood's medicinal properties were extremely overbearing. Although the duo could reduce toxicity when they were combined, the intensity of the medicinal properties was increased by a few folds. That was the reason why he needed to use Pine Ganoderma to counteract it. The Pine Ganoderma reinforced the vital essence, strengthened the primordial chi and nourished the five viscera. Its attributes had the ability to balance out the two medicines. Moreover, the four types of spirit items became the perfect combination with the addition of the Abundance Fruit that boosted life force.

However, his stomach was hurting!

It was hurting so bad!

The intense pain made Tang Wulin's stomach spasmed, and it made him feel like throwing up the concoction that he had drank. However, how could he? It was money, it was all money!

At that moment, Tang Wulin the miser showcased his determination and fearlessness in the face of pain and hardship. He clenched his teeth as he tolerated the pain and activated the soul power in his body simultaneously to circulate the medicinal properties in his body.

The pain gradually turned into a burning sensation. The jade green sheen on Tang Wulin's body that came from consuming the Abundance Fruit had turned red. He looked like a cooked Ruby Shrimp. It was startlingly strange.

The heat was rising in his body, and the medicinal properties were running rampant. All the pores on Tang Wulin's body were opened, and it exuded a faint medicinal fragrance.

Nobody knew when Yuanen Yehui had arrived, but she was outside the door. She proceeded to sit in front of Tang Wulin's dormitory door with her legs crossed.

All of a sudden, her nose twitched and she had an expression of surprise on her face. What a rich medicinal fragrance! Moreover, just a sniff of the fragrance relaxed her.

She was an expert in body refinement. She sat with her legs crossed and inhaled the medicinal fragrance so that she could absorb it into her body.

As Tang Wulin's body was burning all over, he could clearly see inside his own body. He looked at his body and saw faint gold striations all over his body including his bloodstream, muscles, bones and internal organs. Although it was imperceptible, it definitely existed. Tang Wulin was almost sure that the layer of gold color was what gave him such a powerful recovery ability.

His extraordinary recovery did not only save him once. Breakthrough now, fourth seal!

With the invigorating soul power, the rich medicinal properties ferociously dashed toward the fourth seal that was filled with cracks.

An intense wave swept through the seal's interior as though it could sense his change.

'Bang!' An intense bang came from inside his body. Tang Wulin felt a tremor overtaking his whole body. Suddenly, he saw his entire body light up, and he heard a deep dragon's roar coming from his bloodstream. Everything inside his body was covered in a dazzling gold color.

Although Tang Wulin had broken through three seals, he was unconscious for the most part when he was breaking through the third time. Under such a circumstance, it was impossible for him to see what was going on with his body.

However, it was different this time. The impact on the seal had succeeded in breaking through. He was extremely awake and alert, and he could clearly feel that layer of gold spreading all over his body and merging with his body the moment he broke through the fourth layer of the seal. Surprisingly, the medicinal effect that was so strong previously was absorbed into his body immediately from the impact.

He felt a sense of fullness in his body wherever the golden airflow passed. Meanwhile, his body absorbed it at an alarming rate.
