Cultivation is undoubtedly an extremely boring and energy-consuming thing.

Therefore, before proceeding with a new round of cultivation, Qin Ming took out a simple set of grills from his backpack and set them up, and then cut the tenderloin of the wild beef he had obtained earlier and skewered them on the grill.

In any case, filling your stomach is the most important thing.

After tossing for nearly the whole morning, and nearly half an afternoon spent entanglement with the golden-horned python, he was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back.

Especially after Arthur's possession was lifted, this hunger pang became even clearer.

It's just that after swallowing a large piece of beef tenderloin into his stomach, Qin Ming still felt that it was a little insufficient.

"I'll go, after becoming a martial artist, has the amount of food become so big?"

Touching his still suffering belly, Qin Ming originally wanted to bring a piece of beef tenderloin rewarded by the system, but after his gaze inadvertently swept over the python body on the side, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Isn't there a lot of meat here?

What's more, the flesh of the beast general-level mutant creature must be very textured, right?

If Liu Mingsheng or Da Lin knew Qin Ming's thoughts at this moment, they would definitely tremble, thinking in their hearts that this kid was simply a livestock.

When ordinary warrior-level warriors see this golden-horned python, it is good not to be scared half to death, even if they can get away with it, they will stay away and dare not move.

But Qin Ming still wanted to eat its meat, it was too violent.

Of course, mutant creatures are not zombies, and they contain inedible viruses in their bodies.

They are only genetically evolved, so the meat of most mutated organisms is edible, except in a few special cases.

After a thorough meal, Qin Ming confirmed Liu Jiansi's situation again.

Seeing that the blood cave that was still empty before began to repair itself at this moment and fill the vacancy, and Liu Jiansi's situation also stabilized, Qin Ming also settled down.

Although Qin Ming was unwilling to treat this woman thoroughly, at least until the time limit was reached, he still had to make sure that Liu Jiansi would not die.

"It's time."

With a secret sigh in his heart, Qin Ming first took out the six beast-level blood crystals, activated the double cultivation talisman, and then closed his eyes tightly, and began to enter the realm where his heart was like stopping water.

As Qin Ming's Yuan Force swirled, the blood crystals spread out on his hands gradually dissolved, turning into bursts of blood mist that could be absorbed by the human body, and were quickly inhaled by the acupuncture points in various parts of Qin Ming's body.

As time passed, the suction power of the porridge in Qin Ming's body to absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi became stronger and stronger, and his physical body became more and more hungry and thirsty.

Whew-

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in this cave, including the flesh and blood essence remaining in the python's body on the side, was also attracted by this suction at this moment, and quickly surged towards Qin Ming's place.

I don't know how long it took, the huge life essence was transformed into the vitality that belonged to Qin Ming alone, and the vitality gathered at the second meridian node, reaching the limit of quantitative change.

Rumble!

Finally, another endless, endless source of Yuan Force was condensed, echoing with the Yuan Force in the first meridian node.

Qin Ming could clearly feel that his strength was much stronger than before.

Click! Click!

At this moment, two bursts burst in succession, and the essence of the two beast-level blood crystals was completely emptied, leaving only a trace of useless fine powder, revealing their former existence.

As for the remaining blood crystals, three of them have not been used, and the size of the last one has also been completely smaller, apparently nearly half of it has been used.

"Go ahead, it's not the end yet."

Glancing at the remaining amount of blood crystals in his hand, Qin Ming was once again immersed in cultivation.

Click......

The remaining blood crystal burst open, turned into fine powder, and was declared dead.

Click! Click!

I don't know how long it took, and two more blood crystals burst open......

Click!

Just after the last blood crystal was completely exhausted, there was another huge shock in Qin Ming's body, and at the location of the third meridian node, the third yuan force was finally condensed.

At this moment, Qin Ming has finally reached the level of a third-order warrior!

However, Qin Ming did not enter the cultivation state again as before, but hesitated for a while after taking out the Xuanjing Fruit that was about to rot.

Just as a mid-level mutant creature will have one more blood crystal in its body than a first-tier mutant creature, the promotion of a warrior-level warrior from the third order to the fourth order also represents a hierarchical leap in strength.

A fourth-order martial artist, under normal circumstances, can face several third-order martial artists alone without being defeated, and even the strongest of them can directly defeat all the opponents.

Besides, the two genius boys in Ding'an City, Chen Lin and Liu Jiannan, had already reached the third-order warrior level a year ago, but now, they are still stuck there, not advancing an inch.

Why?

Because from the third order to the fourth order, the total amount of vitality required in it is more terrifying than the sum of the first order to the third order, and if you want to cross it, you will undoubtedly need an extremely terrifying accumulation.

Although those two are the proudest juniors of their respective forces, those forces can only dominate in this Ding'an City, which shows that their strength is limited and they can't afford to supply them at all.

When they reach this point, the help that their respective forces can provide is limited, and a large part of them can only rely on themselves, so their progress is very limited.

But not everyone has the crazy energy of Qin Ming, who dares to come to this dangerous dense forest area alone.

If it was before, Qin Ming was just thinking about being able to raise his strength to a third-order warrior, and the rest would be talked about later.

But now, it's different.

Qin Ming, who held the Xuanjing Fruit in his hand, undoubtedly had the qualifications to challenge the gap between the three promotions and the four that had stumped countless Tianjiao talents.

It's also time for the final sprint.

Having made up his mind, Qin Ming swallowed the Xuanjing Fruit into his stomach in a few bites, feeling the flesh like an elixir quickly turn into a hot flow in his stomach, and the essence was transformed into vitality and circulated in his limbs.

Then, Qin Ming took out the Xuanjing Fruit in the system and swallowed it into his stomach as well.

He is preparing to break through the barrier of three rises and four in one go!

The huge Yuan Force made Qin Ming's meridians almost burst, and the feeling of swelling and pain made him extremely uncomfortable.

However, Qin Ming still suppressed his mind and began to control the three Yuan forces in his body, slowly guiding this majestic Yuan Force to impact the fourth meridian node.

In becoming a martial artist, the three meridian nodes will be automatically opened, but the subsequent meridian nodes all need to be opened by the martial artist themselves, and the further back, the more difficult it is to impact the barrier to protect the node!

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Every time he was impacted, Qin Ming could feel his heart tremble, which lifted his spirits, but as the number of times increased, he began to get used to this feeling.

Bang!

A different sound finally appeared in the crisp and monotonous impact sound, and Qin Ming immediately came to his senses, and immediately found that a depression had appeared on the barrier.

This shows that the barrier has been exhausted under this long bombardment.

Where there's a depression, there's a second!

Feeling the formless vitality that was still abundant in his body, Qin Ming's spirit was greatly boosted, and he continued to impact the barrier, especially paying attention to the part that was dented!

Click, click, click!

It was still that depression, and a sound of cracking began to come out, and dense cracks like spider webs appeared, and Qin Ming could feel that the time to break through the barrier had finally arrived.

"Break it for me!"

With an angry roar in his mouth, Qin Ming mobilized almost all of his vitality and stormed towards the crack, finally smashing the barrier out of a small opening.

A thousand-mile embankment, destroyed in an anthill!

With the appearance of this small opening, the rest of the barrier finally could not support it, and it crackled apart, and the majestic vitality finally rushed into the fourth node.

The barrier of the fourth meridian node was finally completely conquered by Qin Ming!
