The following days were exceptionally peaceful; Xu Ping'an didn't step out of his courtyard at all.
Besides consuming Spirit Marrow and accumulating his True Yuan,
his cultivation had also advanced to the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Sea-Splitting Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the Third Layer.
He spent the rest of his time honing his shield techniques and swordsmanship.
As for the elixirs, disciples took the initiative to deliver them daily.
Three Superior Grade Third Rank Jade Spirit Pills per day.
After five days, that amounted to fifteen pills in total.
Fifteen Superior Grade Jade Spirit Pills and ten Meridian Opening Pills were enough for him to break through to the First Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm.
"I'm preparing to break through to the Third Rank; once I do, my strength should ascend to another level," Xu Ping'an murmured to himself.
Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.
