I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head Chapter 400 - Peak of the Energy Refinement Stage

Chapter 400: Peak of the Energy Refinement Stage

In this half a month, the strength of the five had greatly increased, and they all stepped into the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage.
These five people were already in the ninth level of the Energy Refinement Stage, but their cultivation been yet to be completely polished.
And now, after half a month of hard fighting, Chu Yunfan and the others had stepped into the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage, which meant that their cultivation in the Energy Refinement Stage had been completed. They would reach the Acquired Stage at any time. This was already more powerful than most of the sophomores and juniors of Federation University.
After all, even among the tens of thousands of martial arts class freshmen in Federation University, the five of them were absolute geniuses.
It was natural for their cultivation to improve so quickly.
Even so, Sha Peng and the other three were no longer unconvinced of Chu Yunfan. Compared to half a month ago, their strength was now much more tyrannical. They would have no problems beating their past selves. Back then, when they joined forces, they would still be defeated by a Bloodmane Ape.
But now, they could beat a Bloodmane Ape by themselves. In the beginning, they still needed Chu Yunfan’s help. Later on, they could wander to the vicinity of the Bloodmane Apes’ territory and kill any lone Bloodmane Apes.
But they knew that even at this stage, they were still far from Chu Yunfan, who had cultivated to the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage half a month ago. Even compared to Chu Yunfan, who was at the peak of the eighth level of the Energy Refinement Stage half a month ago, there had been a big gap between him and them.

This was not modesty, but the truth. Although they could kill a Bloodmane Ape now, it still took them some effort. The scene of Chu Yunfan killing a Bloodmane Ape in just a few moves was still fresh in their minds, and they would not be able to get rid of it for a long time to come.
At that time, Chu Yunfan was already very terrifying. And now, Chu Yunfan was more than several times stronger than back then.
Now, they did not know how strong Chu Yunfan truly was because after they were able to deal with the Bloodmane Ape on their own, every night when the Bloodmane Apes launched their attack, they were the ones dealing with the Bloodmane Apes while Chu Yunfan was focused on dealing with the Bloodmane Ape alpha. Every day, Chu Yunfan would use the alpha to temper himself, so his rate of progress was extremely fast.
Although Chu Yunfan was still at a disadvantage when facing the ape alpha, in this cave, the alpha was unable to do anything to him. Instead, it was treated as a whetstone.
If not for such an Acquired expert who hated Chu Yunfan to the bone coming to find trouble with him every day and allowing him to temper himself between life and death every time, Chu Yunfan’s improvement would not have been so fast.
After more than half a month, Chu Yunfan had gotten used to the bindings of the four-fold gravity on his body. Even with these bindings, Chu Yunfan was still able to defeat Sha Peng and the others in their peak condition. If he were to let go, Chu Yunfan was confident that ordinary first-level Acquired Stage experts would be no match for him. Compared to half a month ago, his strength had made a huge leap forward.
Sha Peng and the others were not bad either. They were indeed worthy of being the top elites in Federation University. 0.5 times gravity. In just half a month, they had already gotten used to it. If it was an ordinary university student, they might not be able to get used to it even after a few years.
This was because the strength of the body simply could not keep up with and did not dare to add 0.5 times gravity. Although this kind of gravity could train the body, the degree of burden on the body was also unimaginable.
An ordinary person who was subjected to this kind of gravity for a long period of time would undergo very serious changes in their body.
After all, not everyone could be like Chu Yunfan. Even if they were at the same level, Chu Yunfan’s physical fitness was several times that of Sha Peng and the others. Only in this way was he able to withstand this kind of torment.
This was also why many children from rich families only used ordinary weighted suits. Ordinary weighted suits trained the muscles of the body. However, weighted suits that could increase the force of gravity were a burden to the entire body. The concept was not the same.
In the boundless dark forest, Chu Yunfan killed a monster with a single slash. At this moment, the ground was littered with the carcasses of all kinds of monsters. Although this forest was the territory of the Bloodmane Apes, there were still many other monsters here. Chu Yunfan lured these monsters over and then honed his movement techniques. Finally, he killed all of them.
Meanwhile, Sha Peng and the others also finished off all the monsters in front of them.
Chu Yunfan’s expression was calm. His breathing was not even labored. Killing these monsters was easy for him. The battle prowess of the Acquired Stage was completely different from before.
At this moment, Chu Yunfan felt that killing Zuo Wenbin back then had indeed been a fluke. It was fortunate that Zuo Wenbin had not been vigilant back then. He had not expected that Chu Yunfan would find a way to take him down. In addition, Chu Yunfan had not been careless after poisoning him. On the contrary, he was careful to surround and kill Zuo Wenbin. In the end, Chu Yunfan had successfully killed Zuo Wenbin.
“It’s time to head back. With our current cultivation, we’ve already reached the peak of the Energy Refinement Stage. The next step is to open up the meridians in our bodies. We must find a safe place to seclude ourselves. If we take even one wrong step, we’ll be done for,” Chu Yunfan said as he glanced at his teammates.
Sha Peng and the others did not object. They were already used to following Chu Yunfan’s lead. Moreover, what Chu Yunfan said was right. This was different from the Energy Refinement Stage. The biggest characteristic of the Acquired Stage was that a large portion of the meridians in the body had been opened up. It would then form a small cycle, and when that time came, they would gain an endless supply of True Energy and their ability to fight for a long time would increase by a few fold. It was not something that those in the Energy Refinement Stage could imagine.
Moreover, after forming a small cycle in their bodies, more and more meridians would be opened up. They could then condense their True Energy whenever they attacked and dole out mid-range attacks.
As more and more meridians were opened up, this small cycle would become bigger and bigger until it finally opened up the Ren and Du meridians. They would then reach the so-called Innate Stage.
Shortly, they returned to the Black Hawk.
“Sir, I think it’s time for us to head back,” Chu Yunfan said.
“Not bad. Your progress was faster than I expected. I thought you guys would need a month to reach this step. I didn’t expect that you would reach here in just half a month. The resources that I spent on you aren’t wasted after all.” Jeang Yuanbin nodded with satisfaction.
Chu Yunfan and the others knew that although Jeang Yuanbin said this lightly, in just half a month, they had consumed over ten million yuan worth of pills and energy elixirs. It was definitely a huge sum.
Of course, Chu Yunfan and the others had killed a lot of monsters this month, so Jeang Yuanbin did not lose out either.
“Let’s return to the Metropolis. The first phase of the special training is done.”
