Lin Ming let out a long breath. He had already reached the Peak of Body Cultivation First Layer and was only a step away from the Second Layer. Even without the Yujin Deer Embryo Pill, he would have broken through eventually—it just would have taken a few more days.
The First Layer of Body Cultivation, Refining Power, focused True Essence in the muscles. The Body Cultivation Second Layer, Muscle Training, spread True Essence throughout the entire body. Not only did his strength increase dramatically, but the resilience of his skin and muscles also rose by a whole level. While he wasn't impervious to blades, if he could have been easily run through by a sword before, now the same strike would only damage his surface tissues. His combat effectiveness had increased by leaps and bounds.
