At this moment, Jing Zhe began to reach into his robes. Duan Hun Shan, sitting opposite him, watched with a delighted expression, not wanting to miss a single detail.
"This medicine is called the Tempering Pill. It took my master decades to refine it with the help of others. The medicinal ingredient is also quite unique, as it uses fire as a catalyst. Even if an ordinary person gets this Tempering Pill, they won't know how to take it!"
Jing Zhe explained at length with a serious expression, and although Duan Hun Shan didn't take it seriously, he still listened carefully.
At this moment, Jing Zhe took out four "quenching pills," which were actually four hand grenades!
After taking it out, Jing Zhe walked towards the Soul-Severing Fan. At the moment he was about to hand it over, his expression was quite reluctant.
This scene, witnessed by Duanhunfan, made him realize even more how important the Tempering Pill was to Jing Zhe; otherwise, why would he be so careful?
So I immediately reached out my hand.
Jing Zhe hesitated for a long time before finally handing it over: "I'm giving you all four Tempering Pills. When I was practicing martial arts, I took three of them and reached my current level."
Good heavens!
Three pills and you'll reach the sixth level of peak power!
If I were to eat all four of them, wouldn't I be able to truly glimpse whether there's a hidden world beyond the realm of a grandmaster?
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The next moment, he took the "Quenching Pill" from Jing Zhe's hand.
These Tempering Pills were much larger than any of the pills the Soul-Severing Fan had ever taken before. He could eat several of the original pills in one go, but with these Tempering Pills, he could barely hold two in each hand, so he had to use both hands to hold the four Tempering Pills tightly.
Looking at the Tempering Pill in his hand, Duanhun Shan suddenly realized: No wonder this Tempering Pill has such a miraculous effect, it's because it's so heavy!
Other pills, a dozen or so, were only contained in a bottle no bigger than the palm of your hand, but this Tempering Pill was contained in a ceramic jar the size of your palm. When he held it in his hand, he could clearly feel that it was quite heavy, and it was indeed a divine medicine!
At this moment, Jing Zhe was still saying, "When my master was traveling, he gave me the four tempering pills that our Heaven and Earth Sect had left. He also told me that because I was about to break through and reach the Grandmaster realm, I should not eat these tempering pills first, otherwise it would be a waste."
He told me to consume all four Tempering Pills at the same time after reaching the Grandmaster level, so that I could achieve the greatest breakthrough. My master said he always believed that the Grandmaster level wasn't the final stage of martial arts; after breaking through to the Grandmaster level, there would definitely be a whole new world to explore!
After listening, Duanhun Shan nodded repeatedly.
According to the sayings of the martial arts world, the highest level of martial arts is the Grandmaster realm. Since becoming a Grandmaster, Duanhun Shan has always felt that there must be other realms beyond the Grandmaster realm. The reason why he has never heard of them is because no one has ever reached them.
But after meeting Jing Zhe, this thought became even stronger.
However, he asked with some curiosity, "Since your master knew everything, why didn't he eat it and instead left it for you?"
Jing Zhe remained calm and smiled, saying, "It is said that there is a sequence to learning the Dao and that everyone has their own expertise. My master has never practiced martial arts since he was a child. He only loves refining pills, but he is troubled by not knowing the effects of the pills he refines. That's why he founded the Heaven and Earth Sect two years ago and took me as his disciple."
Duanhun Shan thought this explanation was plausible, since he had never heard of the Heaven and Earth Sect before.
"My master is old after all, and he has no internal strength or martial arts skills. Even if he wanted to try taking the Tempering Pills himself, the effect would be minimal. He also doesn't like this method, so he left all the Tempering Pills to me!"
Now, the Soul-Severing Fan nodded in satisfaction, having no further doubts.
"Then I'll eat all four of these Tempering Pills right now!"
The Soul-Severing Fan couldn't wait any longer. He put three Tempering Pills in his pocket, holding one for himself, and was about to open the seal on the ceramic jar.
Jing Zhe was startled when he saw this.
"Wait!"
Jing Zhe quickly interrupted him: "You can't eat like that!"
Duanhun Shan frowned: "Then how should we eat it?"
"As I just said, the reason this Tempering Pill is called the Tempering Pill is because it is different from other ordinary pills. Its medicinal guide is not an ordinary thing, but fire!"
As he spoke, he took out a tinderbox from his bosom.
"Take out all four Tempering Pills. I'll use fire to prepare the medicine for you, and then I'll give it to you!"
Jing Zhe said with a serious expression.
If the Soul-Severing Fan had even a little basic knowledge of chemistry, he would have exposed Jing Zhe without hesitation, but unfortunately he didn't.
There was no concept of grenades in this era, and most people who had witnessed the power of grenades were dead. So after hearing this, Duanhun Shan not only did not doubt Jing Zhe, but was also a little excited.
This kid is a man of principle!
In that case... then we'll leave him with a whole corpse later!
Thinking this, Duanhun Shan reached out.
"Are you sure you want to take all four Tempering Pills now? Don't you want to wait until we find a quiet, secluded place?"
Duanhun Shan immediately shook his head. He couldn't wait a moment longer. Although he felt Jing Zhe wouldn't lie to him, who could say for sure? He would eat it right in front of him. If it didn't work, he would kill him immediately; if it did work, he would kill him immediately as well…
"All right!"
Jing Zhe lit the tinderbox and said, "Then put these four tempering pills on the ground and I'll help you light them!"
"No need!"
The Soul-Severing Fan immediately refused.
He was not comfortable letting Jing Zhe ignite such a precious elixir for him, so he asked Jing Zhe where the igniter was. After asking, he snatched the tinder away.
"You, step back!"
Although he was going to take this precious pill in front of Jing Zhe, he couldn't let him get too close, otherwise he wouldn't feel at ease.
"I can provide guidance from the side..."
"Step back!"
"I can't stand it," said the Soul-Severing Fan impatiently.
"All right…"
Jing Zhe sighed, somewhat "dejected," and then retreated step by step, looking back repeatedly, with a "reluctant" expression on his face.
Seeing this, the Soul-Severing Fan felt even more smug.
Therefore, Duanhun Shan held two Quenching Pills in his left hand and placed the other two in front of his chest, protecting them with his left arm, showing how much he valued these four Quenching Pills.
At this moment, Jing Zhe had already retreated to a distance of more than 100 meters from the Soul-Severing Fan. This distance was set by the Soul-Severing Fan. In his opinion, at this distance, Jing Zhe could neither escape nor pose any threat to him.
Jing Zhe's expression remained calm, but he was secretly overjoyed. Even without the demand from the Soul-Severing Fan, he himself would have preferred to back off, as he did not want to be accidentally injured!
Who would have thought that the Soul-Severing Fan would be so "loyal" as to ask him to back down? Looking at the Soul-Severing Fan who had already raised the tinderbox, Jing Zhe could only say to him, "Have a safe journey!"
