Outside, Ye Xiruo's expression was also somewhat unpleasant. Her seventh brother, Xiu Qi, had broken through again, and she could already feel the surging energy within her body constantly churning.
"System, is there any way to suppress the breakthrough?" This speed is too astonishing.
"Host, feel free to break through. This is one of the benefits of the contract. You don't need to worry about an unstable foundation. This energy is the purest energy in the world. As long as you refine your physical body, you don't need to worry."
Ye Xiruo was on the verge of tears: "How am I supposed to break through now? Break through to the Nascent Soul stage? It seems like I'm just a little short. And the Great Perfection stage feels a bit too much."
“Foolish. The Great Perfection of the Golden Core is divided into two levels. Your current Great Perfection is the lowest level. There are two more levels of Great Perfection above it. That’s why I said there’s no need to worry about an unstable foundation.”
Alright! The system's words seem to make sense, so Ye Xiruo began to absorb the energy with peace of mind.
Si Hao, standing beside him, maintained a calm expression, but inwardly he was devastated. His junior sister had only been in the Fusion stage when she first arrived, how could she have caught up with his cultivation in just over half a year? He, as her senior brother, was utterly useless. Seeing his junior sister's cultivation about to surpass his, Si Hao was utterly devastated.
Hua Rong was shocked, staring blankly at Ye Xiruo who had broken through again, feeling completely overwhelmed.
"Little Leaf is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and become a senior. Zhiyi, how do we do it?"
Qing Zhiyi chuckled. He spoke as if his cultivation wasn't at the Golden Core stage. Senior, she's clearly a cute, innocent junior sister who needs everyone's protection, how did her cultivation suddenly become so high? It wasn't sudden; Xiao Yezi's cultivation speed has always been abnormal, impossible to measure by ordinary standards.
This is the difference between a master and an ordinary genius.
"Our senior brother has reached the Nascent Soul stage, and Little Yezi's cultivation has improved accordingly. Is that nothing wrong with that?"
"These two freaks, do they even give people a way to live?"
Following the meridian pathways described by the system, Ye Xiruo began to slowly open them with spiritual energy. This process was both painful and pleasurable.
It felt like being stabbed through her body with a sharp knife; the intense pain made her face contort in agony, and she almost gave up.
“If you are not a perfect Golden Core cultivator, it will affect your future achievements. If you die then, Xiu Qiyu will not be able to live either.”
"Then he should die with me." It's so painful.
"You're really heartless. But even if you live, you'll slow down his cultivation. Do you want him to become a mediocre talent?"
No, Brother Xiu Qi is a prodigy, full of secrets. In this world, only strength is truly reliable. She doesn't want Brother Xiu Qi to be despised by the world because of her; because his strength is not improving; because of her, to die with resentment.
Ye Xiruo gritted her teeth and said, "Shut up, I know, I'll put up with it." Then she continued to open up her meridians.
"Why does Xiao Yezi look so fierce? Isn't breaking through a barrier a great thing?"
"What do you know? Just watch." Qing Zhiyi tapped Hua Rong's head impatiently. "She'll be fine. She doesn't look like she's breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"She is consolidating the foundation."
I see. Compressing gas into liquid is quite easy, but compressing liquid into solid is not something an ordinary person can do. Xiao Yezi was able to resist the temptation of a significant increase in strength and firmly solidify her foundation; she truly deserves to be the young master appointed by the Palace Master.
Inside the secret realm, Xiu Qiyu absorbed all the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) and began to consolidate his cultivation. He had mentally prepared himself for breaking through here. Such a grand spectacle would inevitably attract a group of onlookers, people who wanted to watch the show and kill him. But he still chose to break through; who would emerge victorious would only be known after the battle, wouldn't they?
The strange phenomenon in mid-air gradually disappeared, indicating that Xiu Qiyu had successfully broken through. It was truly a case of some being happy while others were sad.
After sulking, Zishu went into seclusion to temper his meridians and condense his true essence with the fire of wood. Ye Liusha remained quietly guarding the cave entrance, like a proud sword, blocking everyone's view.
Although those prodigies didn't know why Zishu treated Ye Liusha differently, and even allowed Ye Liusha to protect him, they all wisely chose to ignore it.
Zishu's name resounded throughout the entire continent, and Ye Liusha's name was also widely known. He was the most talented and persevering junior brother of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and countless alien races, wild beasts, and demons had died at his hands.
The sword in his arms was a killing sword; no one wanted to personally experience the power of Nightfall Sands' sword.
Jing Li quickly finished refining the pills, put away the Phoenix Flying Spear, and the Yin-Yang Demon Flame automatically transformed into two cute little fireballs that flew back to his shoulders, hopping and skipping, looking quite adorable.
Jing Li tossed the bottle of pills to Zhan Changtian: "Eat this, then come with me." Jing Li turned and walked towards her cave, and Zhan Changtian followed.
Yu Kou followed behind Zhan Changtian, vigilantly watching for any dangers around them. After seeing Jing Li and Zhan Changtian enter the cave, Yu Kou stopped at the entrance to protect them.
Zhan Changtian made relatively few moves along the way, but the poison continued to slowly intensify. Fortunately, they encountered Jing Li, who was being robbed. The two of them, one on each side, prevented the group from escaping. After watching Jing Li skillfully deal with the group and collect their points and rings, they explained their purpose.
Jing Li didn't feel honored to be able to save Zhan Changtian because of their great reputations, or that they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the future of humanity. Instead, she glanced at Zhan Changtian with disdain: "High-grade spiritual medicine or top-grade spirit stones."
"Thank you, Palace Master." As long as Jing Li is willing to help, this price is almost nothing to them.
They are not alchemists. Even if they obtain high-grade spiritual herbs, they can only auction them off or ask an alchemist to refine them into pills. High-grade spiritual herbs can play their due role when they fall into Jing Li's hands.
Jing Li examined Zhan Changtian's injuries and immediately determined that they were caused by Mu Feng's Netherworld Chains. The Netherworld Chains were a particularly vicious magical artifact; countless wronged souls had perished during their forging, and they were brimming with malevolent energy, yin energy, and potent poison. The most troublesome aspect was the combination of poison and malevolent energy. However, the malevolent energy and poison were negligible to a war god like Zhan Changtian, whose powerful bloodline was easily expelled as soon as they entered his body.
However, even with Zhan Changtian's extraordinary combat power, he was helpless against this mixed poison. Because Mu Feng rarely took action, Jing Li's research on this mixed poison was also very limited. Zhan Changtian's arrival naturally made him Jing Li's research subject.
Jing Li became a King-level alchemist because her forte was all kinds of poisonous pills and strange pills, not healing pills.
Today is the third day. Jingli has tried six methods, the most effective of which can only remove half of the toxins, and the remaining toxins will continue to grow.
