No matter who it is, the moment of breakthrough and promotion draws the power of heaven and earth, which is also the moment when the energy in the body is the most abundant and powerful, far beyond one's own strength level, so powerful that one cannot control it.
Although Zirong couldn't suppress the poison of the Rebirth Soul-Breaking Pill, it should be enough because of the powerful energy that was instantly raised when she broke through and was promoted, even surpassing the limit.
Even if it's not enough, it should be enough next time, right? If it's not enough next time, what about the next time?
Just when Yan Zishu and others were surprised, Zirong's aura increased again and she let out another clear whistle.
Sixth-rank Sword Master! He had actually been promoted continuously, from the fourth rank to the sixth rank! Yan Zishu and the other elders could hardly believe their eyes, but the others' astonishment wasn't over yet.
Seventh-level Sword Master, Eighth-level Sword Master, Ninth-level Sword Master, Middle-level Ninth-level, Late-level Ninth-level!
As clear whistles rang out one after another, Zirong's strength leaped from the fourth level of swordsmanship, and finally stopped at the late ninth level. Such strength was even better than Huayue.
The remaining poison of the Rebirth Soul-Breaking Pill was forced out of the body without any resistance under the pressure of the powerful energy that increased exponentially with each promotion.
Looking at that figure brimming with righteous aura, Yan Zishu and the others were completely stunned. They had seen people advance quickly, but never this quickly. Five levels, a full five levels! For anyone else, even one of the prodigies claimed to be a once-in-a-millennium talent in the major families, the complete ascension from fourth to ninth level of Sword Master would have taken at least a decade, if not longer. Yet, this figure had achieved it in less than half an hour. This wasn't a miracle; it was the stuff of legends.
Mu Hanyan looked at Zirong with relief, but didn't find it strange at all.
Zirong's aptitude was not inferior to Huayue's, and her diligence in cultivation was no less than Huayue's. Especially after she knew that she was poisoned, Zirong did not show any abnormality on the surface, but she practiced even more diligently. She wanted to improve her strength while Mu Hanyan was still alive and follow him.
It's just that he was more or less affected by the Thousand Poisons Corrosion Meridian Powder, and his strength has always been not much different from Hua Yue and Jiang Yuzhe. But now that all the toxins in his body have been cleared, there are no more obstacles. With his accumulated strength, he has made continuous leaps forward, and even surpassed Hua Yue. In fact, this is all a natural thing.
"Zirong!" Hua Yue, Jiang Yuzhe and others were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears, and they rushed towards Zirong.
"Wait!" Yan Zishu suddenly shouted.
Huayue and the others were startled, thinking that something was wrong with Zirong's body, and quickly stopped.
Then, following Yan Zishu's gaze, they realized they were wrong. There was nothing wrong with Zirong's body, but a bluish-purple round bead the size of a little finger was floating in front of him.
This is the poison from the Rebirth Soul-Breaking Pill that was forced out of Zirong's body. Although the toxicity has weakened a lot, if it accidentally gets on your body, it will probably still cause a lot of trouble.
Yan Zishu took out a pitch-black alchemy furnace, placed the round bead inside, and lit the fire. Soon, the round bead containing the last of the toxins of the Rebirth Soul-Severing Pill disappeared into nothingness.
Hua Yue, Jiang Yuzhe, Tang Bufan and others then stepped forward quickly and gave Zirong a bear hug. Although there were no extra words, it was not difficult to see from the tears flashing in their eyes that they were happy at the moment and had a deep friendship that was as sincere as ever and lasted through life and death.
"Senior Yan, thank you very much." Mu Hanyan's eyes were also filled with tears, and she said to Yan Zishu with gratitude.
"Miss Mu, you are too polite. Actually, I should be thanking you. If you hadn't acted in time, I would have lost my life." Yan Zishu said with a wry smile.
"If it weren't for saving Zirong, senior wouldn't have been in danger. As for the Rebirth Soul-Breaking Pill, I just picked up a ready-made bargain." Mu Hanyan's words were not humble.
When it came to the art of alchemy, she still had a significant gap compared to Yan Zishu. The vision and experience of the medical family were definitely not something she could match. Mu Hanyan couldn't achieve either the detoxification method or the alchemy technique on her own.
"You can't say that. You helped me do those three things before. Detoxifying Zirong was what I should have done. As for refining the elixir of life and death, it was my own fault because I was not skilled enough. You helped me, so I owe you my life. If you need any help in the future, Miss Mu, just ask. I, Yan Zishu, will never say no." Yan Zishu said solemnly.
"Then I won't be polite." Yan Zishu's favor is not something that can be owed casually, so Mu Hanyan stopped pretending and said with a bow.
"I was rude in my previous words and offended you a lot. I hope Miss Mu will not take it to heart." The old man who was slapped in the face by Mu Hanyan stepped forward to apologize to Mu Hanyan.
Previously, he was only concerned about Yan Zishu's safety and hadn't thought much about it. Now that he had calmed down a little and thought about it, he felt a surge of panic in his heart.
It turns out that Mu Hanyan is not only proficient in alchemy, sword-making and beast taming, but also has such profound attainments in alchemy. Even if we put aside her background and only talk about her, her future achievements are limitless.
Besides herself, her friend was also such a prodigy, having advanced from the fourth rank of Sword Master to the ninth rank in just half an hour. Rumor had it that this friend was actually just her personal bodyguard, originally a servant.
And apart from Zirong, Hua Yue and Jiang Yuzhe were no weaker than him. Only Tang Bufan was slightly weaker. However, his crazy fighting style even exhausted Pei Qiuyi, who was comparable to an eighth-level swordsman, and finally died under his sword.
He hadn't known that Pei Qiuyi's aura had only been raised to the eighth level of Sword Master thanks to the Destiny Star Plate, and that under the suppression of Mu Hanyan's Soul Gathering Artifact, he could only unleash his true strength as a sixth-level Sword Master, not as exaggerated as the rumors had suggested. But even if he had known, what difference would it make? Killing a sixth-level Sword Master head-on with the strength of a second-level Sword Master would be incredibly shocking.
In short, Mu Hanyan has such talent, such followers, and a background that they are not very clear about. His future achievements are simply beyond his predictions. It would not be surprising even if he reaches the pinnacle of all practitioners.
"How could I have accidentally encountered such a powerful enemy under the tree?" The old man regretted it so much that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
"It's just a misunderstanding. Why would I care? Don't take it to heart, old sir." Mu Hanyan said lightly.
"That's good, that's good. Miss Mu has a broad mind, which is really admirable. I admire her." The old man didn't know whether she really didn't care or was pretending not to care, but it was impossible to ask. He could only sigh embarrassedly and flatter Mu Hanyan.
