Martial Saint with Passives

Seeing his strong reaction, Jiang Che couldn’t help but feel a little curious. "Is this Jade Token... very valuable?"

"Valuable is an understatement!" Master Shen explained. "Each dean only has one of these Jade Tokens, and they’re typically only given to the disciple with the greatest potential in their division! For Dean Xu to have given this to you... it seems he has placed immense hopes on you!"

Hearing this, Jiang Che understood.

It seemed his master, Xu Qingshan, had truly invested a great deal in him.

He nodded. "I see. In that case, Master Shen, may I go in now?"

"Yes, of course!" Master Shen’s attitude had become noticeably warmer. He deftly took out a Jade Key that was emitting a faint, fluorescent glow and handed it to Jiang Che.

"Level A Cultivation Room number one is at the very back. Just insert the key to open it!"

"Thank you, Master Shen." Jiang Che took the key, expressed his gratitude, and walked toward the back.

The Level A Cultivation Rooms were far fewer in number than the B-level ones, and they were located in a more secluded area.

Jiang Che found room number one, inserted the key into the keyhole on the Stone Door, and gave it a gentle turn.

With a low mechanical rumble, the heavy Stone Door slowly slid open.

The moment he stepped inside, Jiang Che felt a stark difference from the B-level Cultivation Rooms.

The Spiritual Qi in the B-level Cultivation Rooms was already quite dense.

But the Spiritual Qi in the Level A Cultivation Room was so thick it was almost tangible!

A milky-white Spiritual Mist permeated the air. With every breath, pure Spiritual Qi spontaneously entered his body through his pores, bringing a soothing sensation that seeped deep into his soul.

The surrounding walls were made of top-grade Snow Crystal Jade, which faintly shimmered with a flowing light.

Cultivating here would likely be several times more efficient than in a B-level Cultivation Room!

’A-level, indeed...’ Jiang Che praised inwardly. Without further delay, he immediately sat cross-legged on the rush cushion in the center of the room.

He first took out the Primordial Marrow Pill from his master, then carefully retrieved the bottle of Top-grade Snow Crystal Milk he had obtained from Xie Xingwen.

As he uncorked the bottle, a pure, rich, and exotic fragrance immediately filled the air, invigorating his senses.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Che swallowed the Primordial Marrow Pill and placed a drop of the Top-grade Snow Crystal Milk in his mouth.

The Elixir Pill and Spirit Liquid instantly transformed into two massive torrents of heat, which erupted inside his body!

He immediately focused his mind and fully activated the second layer of the Nine Heavens Azure Cloud Technique, guiding the vast energy to surge through his bones and attempting to permeate it deeper into his internal organs.

Time flew by as he was lost in his cultivation. Before he knew it, eight days had passed.

On this day, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred within the Cultivation Room!

The bones throughout the seated Jiang Che’s body began to emit a series of dense, crackling hums, like popping beans. The sound was crisp and sustained, as if a hundred times refined steel was undergoing its final tempering!

When the tempering of the final bone was complete...

Jiang Che felt that the Bone Forging Force throughout his body had become perfectly harmonious. He had reached the Peak of the Bone Forging Realm!

He was just about to savor the feeling.

The next second...

The barrier to the Refining Organ Realm, an insurmountable chasm for most, crumbled in an instant!

This was the miraculous power of the Skill Proficiency Panel!

As long as the Primary Cultivation Technique reached Perfection, all bottlenecks could be ignored!

Jiang Che felt the dense, heavy Bone Forging Force within him surge like a bursting flood, pouring into his five major organs: the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!

OMMMM—

A majestic Qi Force—far more profound, concentrated, and inexhaustible than that of the Bone Forging Realm—was born from the depths of his organs and instantly suffused his entire body!

The Refining Organ Realm!

Jiang Che’s eyes shot open, a brilliant light within them so intense it seemed tangible.

He began to carefully experience this brand-new Realm.

Compared to the Bone Forging Realm, the Refining Organ Realm was a qualitative leap!

In the Bone Forging Realm, only a portion of one’s core Strength was the meticulously tempered "Bone Forging Force."

Its power was immense, but the total amount was limited.

It was difficult to replenish quickly once depleted, so one mostly relied on ordinary Strength.

It was only because Jiang Che possessed the [True: Infinite Battle Armor] and had immense strength to begin with that he didn’t rely so heavily on Bone Forging Force.

In addition, his [Yin Yang Transformation Force] Talent allowed him to constantly replenish his Strength.

Thus, he never felt a shortage of Bone Forging Force.

Even so, he couldn’t unleash his Force with complete abandon.

But now, after the breakthrough...

He felt that not only had all the ordinary Strength in his body been converted into Bone Forging Force...

...but the total amount, recovery speed, and concentration of his Qi Force had also reached an entirely new level!

He felt his entire body coursing with power, as if he could demolish a small hill with a single punch!

’So this is the Refining Organ Realm... I wonder what level my power has reached now?’ Jiang Che’s heart filled with anticipation as he felt the surging power within him.

However, it wasn’t convenient for Jiang Che to test his strength inside the Cultivation Room, so he had to let the thought go.

He slowly concluded his cultivation, stood up, and stretched his limbs. His joints let out a series of crisp cracks, and a powerful aura emanated from him naturally.

He then pushed open the Stone Door and walked out of the Cultivation Room.

When Master Shen at the counter saw Jiang Che emerge, he was just about to jokingly ask him how the Level A Cultivation Room was.

But when he felt the majestic aura that Jiang Che had yet to fully conceal, his eyes widened in astonishment. "You... you broke through to the Refining Organ Realm?!"

Jiang Che smiled faintly and replied calmly, "Yes, Master Shen. It was a fortunate breakthrough."

The shock on Master Shen’s face was plain to see; he looked at Jiang Che, speechless.

After a long moment, he finally recovered and repeatedly cupped his hands in respect. "Congratulations! Congratulations, Nephew Jiang! To reach the Refining Organ Realm at such a young age, your future is truly limitless!"

"Thank you for your kind words, Master." Jiang Che returned the polite gesture and left the cultivation area.

...

Meanwhile, in another B-level Cultivation Room...
