3 Multiple Breakthroughs and a new feature?
Following his remarkable breakthrough from the Qi Condensation Realm's second stage to the third, Lin Jian's cultivation had not stagnated as it demanded even more!
A nigh-impossible feat as within the world of cultivation, a mere advancing from one stage to another demanded dedication and effort, often spanning many years.
It was a slow and steady process that tested the resolve of every cultivator. However, To skip multiple stages at once was a feat so rare that it was almost considered mythical.
But of course, as the being of Primordial, this was not worth mentioning!
Lin Jian's resolve, fueled by unyielding determination, as he fortified his spirit and delved into the process of surpassing his current limits.
The Primordial Qi that enveloped him seemed denser, further condensed, the process of breaking through even faster than before.
By the time dawn's light kissed the world, Jian had reached an astonishing milestone—he now stood at the 7th stage of the qi condensation realm. The subtle changes in the energy around him had given way to a profound shift in his power and abilities.
Finally, after the almost third day of seclusion, he decided it was time for his voided belly to feast on some food as he muttered, "I wonder how those geniuses are doing..."
As Jian ventured out into the familiar surroundings of his sect, he observed the scene with a calm and practiced eye. The sect's tranquil setting and grand pavilions were, to him, a daily backdrop. Finally, he left the sect's grounds as he moved through the marketplace with a sense of familiarity, his focus primarily on satisfying his growing hunger.
Amidst the bustling marketplace, Jian clutched the copper coins in his hand, a meager sum of five but enough to satisfy his immediate craving. As he wandered through the stalls of enticing street food, a vendor's enticing offer caught his attention.
"Brother, do you want some skewer for a mere price of 2 copper coins?" called out the vendor with a sizzling array of chicken skewers grilling over an open flame.
The aroma of the skewers was irresistible, and Jiang couldn't resist the temptation. He nodded and handed over the coins, the vendor deftly skewering a succulent piece of chicken and passing it to him. With his hunger momentarily sated, Jian savored the simple pleasure of his meal as he continued his journey through the marketplace.
As Jian savored the chicken skewer, a faint but distinct sound resonated within his mind, like a subtle chime.
Ding!
Startled, he blinked, not sure if he had imagined the sound. But then, a message appeared in his consciousness.
Detected host has consumed (mortal grade) chicken.
Jian's curiosity piqued, he wondered what this meant. Before he could ponder it further, another message followed.
Upgrading chicken to (celestial grade) Phoenix meat.
"Holy Shit!"
The simple street food he had just consumed underwent a transformation, its essence altered into something far more potent and extraordinary.
Jian couldn't help but wonder what result this would bring as he unconsciously questioned it.
Ding!
Effects of Pheonix Skewer (Celestial Grade)
[Flames of Rebirth]: Consuming the Phoenix Skewer infuses you with the Flames of Rebirth, an ability harnessed from the legendary Phoenix race. This remarkable power grants you the ability to rapidly recover from injuries and endure intense heat. It also enhances your offensive capabilities, imbuing your attacks with searing flames.
Please note that this enhancement is permanent, but the system's function can only be used 4 times every 1 week, and the same meat will no longer have any effect on you.
"...."
Lin Jian stood in the midst of the bustling marketplace, his eyes wide with disbelief, his thoughts racing as he grappled with the astonishing effect granted by the celestial grade chicken.
Soon, driven by newfound curiosity and excitement, Lin Jian embarked on a frenzy of culinary exploration with his remaining three copper coins.
At different stalls, he purchased three distinct skewers of swan, pork and cattle.
These exotic meats promised new discoveries and potential enhancements, and Lin Jian couldn't wait to see what the system would reveal with each consumption.

He stood there, feeling the effects of these celestial-grade skewers coursing through his body, Lin Jian couldn't contain his excitement as he shouted
"O, Heavens... Wait for me!"
