“I only have some healing pills with me.”
Hearing what Feng Xia said, Lei Shao was stunned for a moment before he shook his head. “However, if fellow practitioner Feng wants to use medicinal pills, you can go to the Alchemy Pavilion to ask for them. Now that the battle is nearing, the Alchemy Pavilion has already taken out all the medicinal pills that they have. You can use them as you wish.”
Feng Xia was overjoyed. “It’ll be so much easier with medicinal pills!”
Lei Shao hesitated for a moment and could not help but ask, “Fellow practitioner Feng, why do you need the medicinal pills used for cultivation?”
Feng Xia explained, “Before the final battle, I also want to increase my strength as much as possible. If I can open up one or two Mystical Wheels, it might be more or less helpful in the final battle.”
The confusion on First Elder Lei Shao’s face intensified. “But fellow practitioner Feng, only a small portion of the medicinal pills in our Alchemy Pavilion’s inventory are effective for those in the Dao Platform Realm. Most of them are for use by cultivators below the Dao Platform Realm. If you want to break through to the Primal Core Realm, our medicinal pills might not be of much help…”
Feng Xia had a strange expression on his face. “I just want to break through to the Inception Realm.”
A look of realization suddenly appeared on Lei Shao’s masculine face. “Could it be that the path of condensing the Primal Core is similar to the process that an alchemist uses to condense medicinal pills?”
Feng Xia: “?”
Are you an idiot in reading and comprehension? I just want to take drugs to level up. Why do you make it sound like I will be having an epiphany?
What do you mean there are similarities between core condensation and pill refinement? Why don’t you just throw yourself into the pill furnace to refine yourself?
Before Feng Xia could retort, Lei Shao had already patted his chest and laughed loudly, “In that case, fellow practitioner Feng can go ahead. With me standing guard here, you can safely study the secret of the Primal Core!”
Can all of you listen properly!
Feng Xia fell silent for a few seconds before nodding with much difficulty.
“I’ll do my best.”
“In that case, I’ll congratulate you in advance for successfully condensing the core.”
Lei Shao suddenly manifested a liquor gourd and smashed the stopper with a loud bang. He gulped it down and said, “Fellow practitioner, would you like to join me for a drink?”
Feng Xia could not help but laugh. “This is my first time drinking, but I can give it a try.”
“Fellow practitioner, this is actually your first time drinking?” Lei Shao threw the liquor gourd over, his eyes gradually becoming unfocused. “Hahaha, fellow practitioner Feng, you’re really a strange person…”
“Maybe.”
Feng Xia grabbed the gourd and poured some liquor down his own throat.
The alcohol content of the liquor was very high. After he poured it down his throat, it felt as if his throat was burning. Being a first-time drinker, Feng Xia’s face flushed red involuntarily.
“Alright, now that I’ve had a drink, it’s time for me to kill a few more people.”
Suddenly, Lei Shao wiped the corner of his mouth and a sinister smile appeared on his rough and honest face. “Those brats from the Five Elements Sect definitely won’t expect me to return so soon…”
With that, he suddenly flew up and arrived at the wall of light without making any sound.
In the next moment, sword light soared into the sky!
…
Qionghua Courtyard.
“Oops, I forgot to ask about the name of that set of sword techniques again!”
“Xia, where did you get so many round balls?”
Zhu Youniang’s eyes were sparkling as she stared at the medicinal pills Feng Xia poured out and she said seriously, “If you can’t finish them, I can help you eat some.”
Feng Xia did not know whether to laugh or cry. He put his finger on the girl’s lips and pushed her face away.
“Youniang, these medicinal pills are not for you to eat.”
He shook his head and lowered his head to look at the medicinal pills in front of him. His gaze gradually became solemn. “When this battle is over, you can eat as much as you want, but now…”
Feng Xia took a deep breath and said a few words slowly.
“I’m going to try for a breakthrough.”
There were only three types of medicinal pills that he brought back from the Alchemy Pavilion, namely the Energy Accumulation Pills, Quasi Wheel Pills and Essence Convergence Pills.
In this era, the spiritual energy of the world had declined greatly and it was difficult for cultivators to get a breakthrough directly. They needed to rely on the power of the Energy Accumulation Pill to nurture the first trace of vital energy.
“Speaking of which, vital energy is also a unique product of this era. In the era of Patriarch Chenhai, divine beings would simply condense magical power from the start and it is so much stronger than vital energy. However, the natural environment of this era does not allow that, so everyone can only condense vital energy first…”
After nurturing the first trace of vital energy, one needed to sense the secret realms within one’s body and find the type of Mystical Wheel that was most suitable for oneself. Only after one activated the first Mystical Wheel would one be considered to have stepped into the Inception Realm.
As the name suggested, the effect of the Quasi Wheel Pill was to allow divine beings to experience the process of activating the Mystical Wheel so that they could activate the actual Mystical Wheel faster.
He had the most of the last type of medicinal pills called the Essence Convergence Pill, but the effect was comparatively simpler and more straightforward—
After taking the Essence Convergence Pill, it would form an invisible energy cyclone in the body for a limited period of time, attracting any idle spiritual energy in the surroundings. This was equivalent to greatly increasing the speed of cultivation.
“Let’s try the Energy Accumulation Pill first.”
Feng Xia did not think too much about it and swallowed an Energy Accumulation Pill.
The pill dissolved in his mouth and turned into a warm current. Then…
Feng Xia: “?”
And?
Based on his understanding of the Energy Accumulation Pill, it should nurture a trace of vital energy after it is consumed so that a cultivator would be able to condense vital energy faster.
But now…
Why is there no further action?
“Why not… try eating another one?”
Looking at the nine remaining Energy Accumulation Pills, Feng Xia hesitated for a moment before quickly taking another one and swallowing it.
After a while, he opened his eyes again and took the third one.
Immediately after, he took the fourth, fifth, sixth… In the blink of an eye, he had consumed all 10 Energy Accumulation Pills. Feng Xia’s expression changed slightly as he finally felt a strange energy that was being nurtured in his body!
“I finally feel something!”
A look of joy appeared on Feng Xia’s face. At this moment, the sense of energy rapidly grew stronger, making him feel as if there was a surge in his chest. He could not help but let out a muffled cheer.
“Burp—”
???
Feng Xia suddenly opened his mouth and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. He was stunned and could not believe his own eyes. “It’s over just like that?”
Did anyone see his vital energy? Where was his huge ball of vital energy? Why did it disappear out of the blue?
“Could it be that I haven’t taken enough pills? But I’ve already taken 10 and only have this small reaction. Even if I swallow all the pills available in the Thousand Autumn Valley, I’m afraid the effect will be…”
In a daze, Feng Xia thought of a possibility.
He lowered his head and looked at his right hand. Suddenly, he clenched his fist and threw a punch forward. Immediately, the air in front of him exploded and an invisible air wave swept out, snapping the big tree in the courtyard at the trunk.
Feng Xia’s expression turned rather awkward.
“I seem to have accidentally become too strong…”
