So, still seated relaxedly in that cross-legged position, he took one of the pills from the halves that he reserved for the cultivation of his body and immediately imbibed it, after preparing his body for the large amount of Spiritual Energy that would instantly appear in his body and begin to seethe about.

Then as soon as he swallowed the pill down to his stomach, the pill instantly dissolved and rapidly produced a large amount of Spiritual Energy that caused him to feel greatly swollen.

"Arghh!" Xiao Lin groaned loudly in pain.

This time, even after he had adapted to the stretching effect of his body by the frost-white Spiritual Energy that would be yielded by the Spiritual Aura bestowing pills upon dissolving in his stomach, still caused his body to feel greatly stretched, making him feel like he was going to explode soon.

Then quickly operating the Spiritual Conversion Refinement technique, he began to turn the frost-white Spiritual Energy in his body into the dark-colored Spiritual Energy that could be found in massive amounts in his dantian.

Once he had produced that dark-colored Spiritual Energy, causing his excessively swollen body to lessen in size, he swiftly began to move wisps after wisps of the energy to the tissues of his skin were they began to revolve very fast under the power of his mental influence.

Right now, he had begun operating the Spiritual Energy Cyclic Infusion technique mentioned in the empyrean-grade, body-cultivation art.

After many hours of doing that, he was able to create a hundred Ordinary Spiritual Energy Revolutions using the Spiritual Energy Cyclic Infusion technique that he was operating.

However, as he was operating the technique, the tissues of his skin constantly exploded and shredded off as they couldn't really withstand the revolutions of the powerful energy being infused to them.

However, as they shredded and exploded off, new ones quickly grew back. And this was because of Xiao Lin's powerful regeneration ability.

Then the new ones which had adapted to the revolutions of the energy being infused into them, became stronger and tougher.

They were beginning to adapt to the revolutions of the energy revolving within them.

Although some still ripped away to show his bones with blood instantly spilling out, the ripped portions of his skin however instantly regrew.

Then the regrown portion became more powerful that it was able to resist the tearing effect of the revolutions of the Spiritual Energy.

And as this happened, his skin became tougher that it would be able to withstand some powerful attacks that would thrown at him.

Not long, the frost-white Spiritual Energy in his body was used up. And he was only able to create more than a hundred and thirty Ordinary Spiritual Energy Revolutions.

Seeing that he had used up the Spiritual Energy that filled his body and stretched it to the maximum, he picked up another Spiritual Aura bestowing pill and swallowed it.

Once the pill got to his stomach after swallowing it down, it turned into a huge amounts of frost-white Spiritual Energy that filled his entire body and stretched it once again.

Immediately the energy filled his body, he began to operate the Spiritual Conversion Refinement technique that turned the frost-white Spiritual Energy in his body into the dark-colored Spiritual Energy in his dantian.

And when wisps of the dark-colored Spiritual Energy began to appear, he began to infuse them into the flesh of his body where they began to revolve.

Then as soon as they began to revolve, the flesh of his skin began to tear away once again. But as they tore away, they became tougher and denser.

...

He did this from that time that he swallowed the pill till night then till the next morning without ever stopping.

Xiao Lin never stopped for once when trying to cultivate his body.

So, after cultivating for a day and the half, he stopped and returned the remaining Spiritual Aura pills into the Jade Pill box.

However, he wasn't even close to reaching the five thousand ordinary spiritual energy revolutions that was needed to break into the Mortal-Surpassing Silver Body in his body cultivation.

But since he had gone beyond the Mortal-Surpassing Bronze Body body-cultivation stage, his body slightly lit up with a dim silvery glow before receding a few moments later. And the instant the glow emitted from his body, he felt his flesh becoming stronger and powerful than when he was in the Mortal-Surpassing Bronze body stage. He could feel it getting tighter and more denser.

And as his flesh got denser, he suddenly had a feeling that he could shatter an entire mountain with his only a single punch.

However, this wasn't really true, as it was only a feeling generated by the power swelling and coursing about within his flesh. But still, Xiao Lin was intensely glad. And he fell in love with this majestic feeling.

He then understood that with time if he dedicated himself to his body cultivation practices, his body would become much more tougher that it would be able to withstand numerous powerful attacks from higher-ranked cultivators. And at that instant, he began to imagine himself using his bare, unprotected fingers to shatter the attacks of cultivators which can possibly turn ranges of mountains into splinters.

"Good!" He said delightedly in the next moment. .

Then when he recalled the amazing toughness of Li Chuang's body, his brows wrinkled as he entered into a deep pondering state.

'I don't think I would still be able to take physical strikes from Li Chuang even if I have entered the Mortal-Surpassing Silver body state.' He said as he contemplated within himself.

He then said further with a resolute tone in his voice, "Well, with time, I will get there."

"But at the moment, I think I would have to find a way of getting more Spiritual Aura bestowing pills from anywhere that I can find. I really need them. If not, there will no hope for me to break through into the Mortal-Surpassing Silver Body stage in my body cultivation." He said further with a solemn expression in his face.

Then after he ended his train of thoughts here, he prepared himself to start his Spiritual Energy cultivation.

So, he reached out to take a pill from the other half that consisted of forty pills and then put it into his mouth which he abruptly slipped down his throat to his stomach.

Then as soon as the pill arrived in his stomach, it abruptly turned into a tremendous amount of Spiritual Energy that caused Xiao Lin to greatly swell up that he became like a balloon and could start to float.

At the moment, Xiao Lin felt like he wanted to burst, as he was overfilled with Spiritual Energy that began to come out of his nose and ears.

The Spiritual Energy in his body, due to it tremendous quantity which then made him feel excessively bloated, was beginning to leave his body through some impossible routes.

But to stop this from happening, Xiao Lin quickly stopped breathing and then shut his eyes close to focus on stopping the Spiritual Energy gathering and building within his body from leaving as they were produced by the rapidly dissolving, Spiritual Aura-bestowing pill in his stomach.

Once he did these, he began to practice the technique mentioned in the Spiritual Refinement Conversion Method.

So, little by little, he began to convert the frost-white Spiritual Energy that filled every gap in his body to the extreme into the dark-colored Spiritual Energy that he possessed in his dantian.

Immediately he converted some wisps of the frost-white Spiritual Energy into some of the dark Spiritual Energy in his dantian, he started to refine them so that every flaw or fault hidden in his newly converted Spiritual Energy would be removed or eliminated.

He was actually doing this so that they won't pose great problems to him in the future during his cultivation to higher levels.

Not long, with some of the frost-white Spiritual Energy still escaping from tiny gaps in his ears, and from his nose anytime he tried to inhale, Xiao Lin tried to quadruple his effort at quickly converting and refining the Spiritual Energy causing his body to continually swell, or he might simply explode into hundreds of flesh, once his amazingly tough body reached the threshold that it could be really stretched to.

Many minutes later, precisely 30 minutes later, the swelling of his body reduced, while the ones escaping from some gaps in his closed ears stopped, simply signifying that Xiao Lin had converted a significant portion of the frost-white Spiritual Energy that caused his body to swell into the dark-black Spiritual Energy that resided in his dantian and formed his cultivation base.

So, it was only now that the pain that he felt from the extreme stretching of his tough and resilient skin reduced in intensity.

Then without opening his eyes, he continued to cultivate to transform all the frost-white Spiritual Energy that still filled his body to some extent into the dark Spiritual Energy dwelling in his dantian. .
