It was as if he had forgotten the flow of time as he reached a state where he almost forgot himself. His cultivation speed was faster than ever before.

During this process, the energy within the Spirit Crystal constantly attacked his flesh, blood, and meridians, and even his bones were somewhat affected by the energy's tempering.

Lu Chen circulated a portion of the energy within his body for a full circulation before finally pouring it into his Dantian, fusing it with the true energy within.

This kind of approach had a lot to it. It wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.

With the help of the Power of Merit, the speed at which Lu Chen absorbed energy was at least several times faster than an ordinary person.

Therefore, during the process of refining the spirit crystal, he split a portion of his spiritual power to temper his body.

In the long run, it would be of great benefit to Lu Chen's cultivation.

As the saying goes, haste makes waste.

Even though Lu Chen had been tempering his body for a long period of time due to the power of merit, his body's endurance was much better than that of an ordinary person's.

However, in order to adapt better to his ever-increasing strength, Lu Chen's body strength still needed to be synchronized. This was not the case.

The two would advance together, and during the process of increasing their strength, they would not leave behind a small tail, but could even become a hidden danger.

This was extremely important to his future growth. It was equivalent to laying the foundation for his future growth, allowing him to be able to accomplish this in one fell swoop without restriction or influence.

By now, Lu Chen, who had reached the low-grade Profound Rank, had already transformed the true energy within his dantian from its original state into liquid form.

To a certain extent, this could already be called Internal Inspection.

This ball of liquid true energy was suspended within his dantian. As the refined energy flowed into it, its shape and volume clearly increased.

… ….

It had only been a few days since he had stepped into low-grade Profound Rank. At this moment, he clearly felt that his current state seemed to have reached low-grade Profound Rank.

Moreover, it was not in the initial stage, but rather the relatively stable middle stage.

He then looked in front of him and discovered that the yellow Spirit Crystal had already disappeared.

Needless to say, this Spirit Crystal had been completely refined by Lu Chen.

Such efficiency, even if Lu Chen had already prepared himself mentally, he couldn't help but feel a little scared at this moment.

Very quickly, Lu Chen turned his gaze towards Murong Yanran and the other two, checking on their refining situation.

If it was just a moment ago, he wouldn't have dared to act rashly.

However, after experiencing it personally, Lu Chen had some experience in refining spirit crystals.

If there really was a need, he was confident that he could help.

To his surprise, he discovered that the spirit crystals in front of their chests hadn't changed at all.

Only when he looked more carefully did he realize that it was indeed smaller by a circle.

The progress was not good!

This was the difference between having the power of merit to a.s.sist him and not having the power of virtue to a.s.sist him.

Lu Chen quickly raised his watch to look at the time, and found that it was already eight in the evening.

Unknowingly, nearly five hours had pa.s.sed just like that.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen suddenly felt that this period of time was too short.

If someone was here, they would be so shocked that their jaw would drop.

Lu Chen roughly estimated that at least 80% of it had been completely absorbed by him.

The most important thing was that this was the first time he was refining it without any experience.

Lu Chen had full confidence that the next time he practiced, he would be able to raise his absorption rate to 90%.

Lu Chen's eyes lit up, and a surge of emotions swept through him.

At this moment, she discovered that the yellow spirit crystal in front of Lu Chen had actually disappeared.

Could it be that it was refined by him so quickly?

However, Murong Yanran felt that it was mostly the former.

Because he could feel an even stronger aura from Lu Chen's body.

Although Lu Chen's previous performance had shown that cultivation was a major factor in the strength he displayed, it was still quite unbelievable that he was able to achieve a breakthrough in such a short amount of time.

It could be said that the changes happening to Lu Chen had completely overturned Murong Yanran's understanding of cultivation.

At first glance, the spirit crystal he had refined didn't seem to have changed at all. However, after closer inspection, it became slightly smaller.

But at the same time, Lu Chen had already completely refined the Spirit Crystal that was the same size.

This speed, wasn't it too fast!

Murong Yanran had always been rational and calm, but at this moment, she could not suppress the raging waves in her heart.

She knew better than anyone else what this meant.

Lu Chen's current strength was already at the peak of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

Before this, even if it was a high-grade Profound Rank expert, or even someone close to the Quasi-Earth Stage, they would only be defeated by him.

Fighting Earth Stage Middle rank Profound Rank …

How old is he?!

He had already reached this level of strength when he was just over 20. Even before the end of the magic era, when he erupted with spiritual power, he had never heard of such a genius.

For an instant, Murong Yanran thought of the genius named Lu Qingtian from 20 years ago.

However, compared to Lu Chen, Lu Chen's performance seemed more terrifying.
