Chapter 127: Emperor Xia Seriously Introduces Qin Bei’s Lies?
Heavenly Dao foundation building can be completed as long as there are cultivation resources and Heavenly Dao spiritual energy.
To put it bluntly, as long as there’s a strong background, it’s basically a done deal for completing Heavenly Dao foundation building.
But the Nine-Turn Golden Pill? That’s not something you can achieve just by dumping in cultivation resources.
Even the mighty entire nation of Great Xia can’t help a cultivator reach the level of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill.
If you want to complete the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, you must rely solely on yourself!
And even the most outstanding Heavenly Dao foundation building genius can only manage the extraordinary feat of the Eight-Turn Golden Pill!
Throughout history, there’s not a single record of any genius actually achieving the breakthrough to the Nine-Turn Golden Pill.
Thus, the cultivation world merely regards the Nine-Turn Golden Pill as a sort of ancestor’s longing, a blind enthusiasm for the number nine.
In reality, the genuine golden pill is no more than the Eight-Turn Golden Pill, which is the ultimate limit.
Qin Bei, having completed the physical foundation establishment, believes that his abilities are absolutely superior to others.
Even those cultivators with the Eight-Turn Golden Pill are no match for him.
After all, he’s the only one who has completed the physical foundation establishment.
Besides himself, Qin Bei can hardly imagine anyone capable of fighting a Yuanying Realm cultivator while still in the Foundation Establishment stage.
Even among those so-called Saint Land geniuses, he’s never heard of anyone pulling off such a stunt.
So, Qin Bei firmly believes he can achieve the Nine-Turn Golden Pill promotion.
…….
Suddenly, a massive amount of spiritual energy erupted within Qin Bei, instantly catching the attention of Emperor Xia and the artifact spirit hovering above him.
The artifact spirit looked at Emperor Xia and said with a grin, “So, what do you think? I told you this kid must be hiding something! This pure spiritual energy is easily on par with enlightened cultivation levels, maybe even purer. He’s really a lucky little guy.”
Emperor Xia squinted down at Qin Bei, deep in thought. “No wonder he could reach the peak of foundation building in such a short time without any cultivation resources. Turns out, he’s got other tricks up his sleeve. But why didn’t I notice it?”
This kind of pure spiritual energy hiding within the body isn’t exclusive to Qin Bei; other lucky cultivators might have opportunities for similar pure energy too.
It’s just that most don’t possess as overwhelming an amount as Qin Bei does.
But this hidden spiritual energy is absolutely impossible to slip past a saint’s perception.
Yet, Emperor Xia had never sensed this aura from Qin Bei until this moment of eruption.
The artifact spirit continued stroking a nonexistent beard and said, “The spiritual energy bursting out of this little guy’s body is clearly different. There’s no trace of any predecessors; it’s very pure. If you ask me, this little guy is some sort of treasure, or maybe it’s related to this hidden cultivation body of his.”
Emperor Xia furrowed his brows in contemplation and suddenly recalled something.
“Do you think there’s a type of cultivation body that improves by relying on one’s state of mind?”
Emperor Xia suddenly thought back to Qin Bei’s earlier babble in front of him.
The artifact spirit, puzzled, asked, “Based on state of mind? What’s that supposed to mean?”
After pondering for a moment, Emperor Xia explained, “It’s like after lavishly spending spirit stones, you just feel super happy, and both your ability to comprehend techniques and your cultivation speed noticeably improve… and sometimes, that leads to sudden bursts of pure spiritual energy?”
The artifact spirit, who has been around for quite some time, figured Emperor Xia’s knowledge on such matters was lacking compared to him. He thought perhaps the spirit had heard about the bizarre cultivation body Qin Bei mentioned.
Pausing his beard-stroking, the spirit turned to look at Emperor Xia and finally couldn’t hold it together, bursting into laughter.
Hahaha!
Hahaha!
“If I’m not mistaken, that nonsense was told to you by the kid down there! You seriously thought you could present it to me like this, believing such ridiculousness? Hahaha!”
By the end of it, the artifact spirit was still chuckling uncontrollably.
Now he found Qin Bei even more amusing.
Daring to spout such nonsense in front of Emperor Xia, and almost convincing him? That’s one of a kind!
The corner of Emperor Xia’s mouth twitched. He was speechless as he watched the artifact spirit mock him mercilessly.
Because, well, the truth was indeed just as the spirit said—he almost bought it!
After all, Qin Bei’s current display was at least pretty close to what he had claimed before.
The artifact spirit glanced at Emperor Xia and then regained a serious demeanor. “This little guy must have something special going on. But about what you mentioned, it’s definitely impossible. I’ve been around this long and never heard of such a peculiar cultivation body. I suspect he just wants more spirit stones to waste and, lacking them, he’s trying to come up with a unique excuse to fleece some stone from you. I’d reckon you’ve already fallen for it quite a bit.”
Emperor Xia went silent…
“Yep, quite a bit, and I haven’t used them for anything worthwhile…”
“Well, that just confirms it. I said this little guy favors money over power, and I wasn’t wrong.”
After saying that, the artifact spirit casually waved a hand, summoning a chessboard between them.
With a grin, the artifact spirit sat down and said, “I haven’t played chess in ages. It’s boring to be just waiting around, so let’s play a couple of games.”
Emperor Xia glanced at Qin Bei below, then also sat down to face off against the artifact spirit.
……..
Inside the Demon Suppression Tower.
After Qin Bei exchanged for his cultivation, he immediately felt the surge of spiritual energy. Even though a fellow cultivator of the same realm was attacking him, Qin Bei didn’t give a hoot.
Right there, in front of that cultivator, he began his breakthrough.
A deluge of spiritual energy started to be absorbed, and Qin Bei’s previously stable cultivation began to waver.
Finally, it erupted completely, causing the spiritual energy within him to surge instantly.
At this moment, it was crucial for the breakthrough. Qin Bei needed to use his abilities to compress this energy and ultimately form a golden pill.
This is a long and perilous journey.
If things went awry, that would mean his cultivation would hit a wall, and he’d be left waiting for the next opportunity.
But for Qin Bei, this danger was nothing at all.
During the breakthrough, he could even multitask and tangle with the cultivators inside the Demon Suppression Tower.
“How about we control those demon cultivators first? It’s not too late to storm the tower after he breaks through!”
Emperor Xia noticed the situation and remarked to the artifact spirit.
The artifact spirit chuckled, “You can play chess, but could you be a bit more serious? I know this kid’s abilities too well. If he dares to make this choice, he surely has his confidence. Why should we meddle?”
After saying that, the artifact spirit took a closer look at Emperor Xia and continued, “Hmm~looks like you’re quite serious this time. You’re really invested.”
Emperor Xia returned the gaze and replied earnestly, “Yes, but it’s also a gamble. If successful, I’ll surpass my ancestors; if I fail, I’ll be the eternal sinner of Great Xia.”
The artifact spirit paused, then decided not to add anything further.
It seemed that the magnitude of Emperor Xia’s plans was beyond his expectations.
