Only then did Chu Qinghe stop drawing the power of heaven and earth from the Evil Emperor's Relic into his body.

After opening his eyes, Chu Qinghe lightly raised his fingertip, and a wisp of his natal essence instantly leaped onto his fingertip and floated motionless.

The true essence is about an inch long and is in the shape of a semi-transparent sword.

If the distance is too far, it is even difficult to catch the naked eye of the wisp of true essence on Chu Qinghe's fingertip.

At this moment, when the true essence leaped to his fingertips, even Chu Qinghe could clearly sense the terrifying energy and power contained within this wisp of true essence.

After withdrawing his true essence into his body, Chu Qinghe gently placed his gaze on the Evil Emperor's Relic and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Currently, nearly one-third of the power of heaven and earth within the Evil Emperor's Relic has been consumed.

Next, when Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai, and others successfully break through to the perfect Celestial Realm after consuming the medicinal wine made from Purple Beard Dragon Ginseng, Chu Qinghe's physical constitution will also be elevated to a new level, reaching the "one in a thousand" level.

At that time, the power of heaven and earth within this Evil Emperor Relic will only be enough for Chu Qinghe to refine his newly acquired true essence once more using the "Return of Ten Thousand Swords" method after he reaches the Perfection of the Celestial Realm.

The power of heaven and earth needed to condense a martial arts golden core can only be refined and accumulated by Chu Qinghe himself, little by little.

However, with the "Innate Body-Breaking Formless Sword Qi" being upgraded to the middle grade of the Dao level, and given Chu Qinghe's current foundation, it would be impossible for him to gather enough Heaven and Earth Power to condense enough martial arts golden cores in a short period of time.

The time required may at least double the time originally planned by Chu Qinghe.

There are only two ways to quickly shorten this process.

Firstly, they stopped worrying about the seal on the Nine Provinces and began to absorb and refine the power of heaven and earth.

Secondly, you can obtain items like "cultivation upgrade cards" by checking in and participating in a lottery through the system.

But Chu Qinghe still preferred the latter to the former.

Thoughts flashed through his mind rapidly. When his thoughts gradually became more active, Chu Qinghe shook his head to suppress the various thoughts in his mind and continued to absorb the power of heaven and earth from the Evil Emperor's Relic.

One hour later.

After Qu Feiyan, Wanwan, and the others had been beaten by Yaoyue and Dongfang Bubai, they returned to the stone table, exhausted both physically and mentally.

Especially Wanwan, if you take off your clothes, you'll definitely see bruises all over your body.

After Wanwan drank the medicinal wine made from Tianxiang cardamom, her injuries began to heal quickly.

Just as the group was lamenting about the days ahead when they would be beaten up every day, Chu Qinghe slowly walked out of the wine cellar with a pot of freshly brewed wine in his hand.

After sitting down at the stone table, Chu Qinghe opened the wine pot, and five streams of purple water were immediately drawn out of the pot by a special force and poured into the wine cups in front of himself, Dongfang Bubai, Yaoyue, Shuimu Yinji, and Lianxing.

Almost as soon as the liquor was poured into the glasses, the aroma of medicine and liquor slowly wafted out of the glasses and into the noses of the women.

After glancing at the cups, Qu Feiyan asked, "Young Master, is this wine made with Purple Beard Ginseng?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe casually responded with an "Mmm".

After receiving confirmation from Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan and Wanwan immediately looked at the wine glasses on the table with longing.

However, their foundations are unstable due to the successive breakthroughs they have made by absorbing the energy of the Evil Emperor's Relic. Until their foundations are solid, the wine made from the Purple Beard Dragon Ginseng is just something they can look at but not really use.

"Drink it!"

After gesturing, Chu Qinghe picked up the wine glass in front of him and slowly took a sip.

Seeing this, Lianxing and Yaoyue also picked up their wine cups and took a sip, habitually savoring the taste of the wine.

The wine is mellow and full-bodied on the palate, with a noticeable medicinal taste and a subtle bitter aftertaste.

After tasting the wine and confirming its flavor, Lianxing lost interest in savoring it slowly and instead downed the rest of the wine in one gulp.

Almost the instant Lianxing put down her wine glass, she felt a surge of heat rising from her abdomen.

The feeling was like a raging fire burning inside my abdomen.

Sensing the rapid onset of the medicinal effects, Lianxing quickly circulated her internal energy to refine the medicinal power.

Chu Qinghe and Dongfang Bubai, who were standing nearby, did the same.

Soon, under the influence of the medicinal power contained in the medicinal wine, strong fluctuations of true essence surged within Chu Qinghe, Yaoyue, and the others.

A quarter of an hour later, a strange sound emerged from the bodies of Chu Qinghe, Yaoyue, and the others.

At the same time, the fluctuations of true energy within the five people changed rapidly.

After a hundred breaths, the fluctuations of true essence within the five people changed dramatically, transforming from the late stage of the Celestial Realm to the perfect stage of the Celestial Realm.

At the same time, as Chu Qinghe successfully broke through, the medicinal effects of the Purple Beard Dragon Ginseng in his body did not dissipate. Instead, it began to circulate in Chu Qinghe's body along with his true essence, thus expanding his meridians and dantian.

When the effects of the Purple Beard Ginseng in his body were completely exhausted, a system notification popped up in front of Chu Qinghe.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, your innate talent has been upgraded to one in a thousand.]

Chu Qinghe, who was standing to the side, also smiled after his internal energy calmed down.

That's all for today's update. Next, I need to organize some of the remaining plot details!
