He Hentian walked to the entrance of the ancient tomb, a smile plastered across his face as he said, "Senior beauty, could you give a Forbidden-breaking Pill? Rest assured, I won't ask for it for nothing, I'll help you find a Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine."
"You want a Forbidden-breaking Pill too?" A cold voice emanated from the tomb.
"Yes, yes," He Hentian hurriedly nodded.
"There are none left," Duanmu Hong said. "There's only one Forbidden-breaking Pill left, no more to spare."
"Ah?" He Hentian was dumbstruck.
"Take this instead." A streak of golden light shot out from the tomb.
He Hentian hastily reached out to catch it, and when he looked down, he saw a golden dagger, small and exquisite, emitting an aura of ancient heaviness. He Hentian could clearly feel the rich Spiritual Energy contained within the dagger.
"This is a tal Attribute dagger, incomparably sharp. Although it's not a Spiritual Treasure, it can still unleash trendous energy," Duanmu Hong said. "Take it and use it. When you find the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine, I'll give you a few more valuable things."
"Senior, rest assured, I will do my utmost to find the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine," He Hentian promised as he put away the dagger.
"I don't have much ti left and can't wait too long. I hope you can speed up the progress. I promise you, as long as you can find the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine, I will repay you handsoly," Duanmu Hong said.
"Senior, take care!" Gao Fei, pulling He Hentian, soared into the sky.
…
Inside the tomb.
Duanmu Hong sighed softly, "I hope they can succeed, bring back the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine, and extend my life."
"I am really afraid of dying."
"I haven't lived enough."
"To continue living, I'm willing to pay any price."
At this mont, Duanmu Hong's emotions were incredibly complex. On one hand, she was tired of living and longed for release; on the other hand, she was afraid of death and desired to live a few more days. Contradiction, struggle, depression, frustration, a sense of helplessness... A myriad of emotions weighed heavily on her heart, causing her profound distress.
…
High in the sky, two figures flew at great speed, those two being Gao Fei and He Hentian.
"Where should we go to find the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine?" He Hentian asked with a worried frown.
"After we return, we'll issue a reward notice. Whoever can provide news on the Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicine will be handsoly rewarded."
"Hmm, that's one way to go about it."
"Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual dicines are things you find on a stroke of luck, not by searching desperately."
"I feel like the chances are slim."
"Don't talk in such a disheartening way, success depends on human effort! As long as we work together wholeheartedly, we're bound to find it!"
After a brief conversation, the two parted ways. Gao Fei went back to the City Lord's Mansion, and He Hentian returned to his estate. They agreed that once they had concrete information about the Spiritual dicine, they would set out to find it together.
Upon returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Gao Fei went into Closed-door Cultivation.
"Forbidden-breaking Pill... An ancient and remarkable elixir, filled with abundant Spiritual Energy within. The consur can greatly improve their Cultivation..."
"Duanmu Hong wouldn't deceive , would he?"
"I wonder how much my cultivation will increase after taking it?"
After swallowing the Forbidden-breaking Pill, Gao Fei closed his eyes and began to ditate.
"Uh..."
It didn't take long for Gao Fei's face to turn red, and his body started trembling nonstop. Streams of white vapor burst from the back of his head – the effects of the Forbidden-breaking Pill had kicked in. True to its repute as an ancient and extraordinary dicine, its power was indeed fierce. As the pill dissolved, it transford into abundant spiritual energy that road within Gao Fei's body. With each circuit completed, his ridians expanded a little, and the volu of his dantian increased, while his true qi gradually beca more abundant...
Gao Fei's cultivation began to rise, and his aura grew more and more robust.
Three days – He spent a full three days in the room without moving an inch!
With damp hair, wrinkled clothes, a pale complexion, and cracks forming on his skin, his breathing slightly rapid... On the surface, Gao Fei seed haggard and in disarray, as though he had endured a great ordeal. In reality, however, he had gained much benefit.
First, his ridians had expanded several tis over; second, his dantian had greatly enlarged; and finally, the true qi in his body beca increasingly pure.
But most importantly, his cultivation had increased by a great margin!
Unity of Heaven and Man Realm Eighth Layer!
Yes, it was the Unity of Heaven and Man Realm Eighth Layer! A single Forbidden-breaking Pill had boosted Gao Fei's cultivation by several levels. It was absolutely amazing!
"Phew..."
Gao Fei opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of impure air, "What a good thing! Truly excellent!" The good thing he ntioned was the Forbidden-breaking Pill. Before taking it, Gao Fei was psychologically prepared. He thought that ascending one or two levels of cultivation would already be sky-high, but to his surprise, it had boosted his cultivation by eight levels, giving him a huge pleasant surprise.
"There actually exists such incredible dicine in this world!"
"If I took several pills at once, wouldn't I rise directly to the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection?"
"I wonder if Duanmu Hong still has any?"
"If I ask Duanmu Hong for it now, he definitely won't give it... Forget it, I'll first search for Defying Heavenly Level spiritual dicine. As long as I find the dicine, Duanmu Hong will have to listen obediently."
After consolidating his realm, Gao Fei stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out. The outside world was bathed in brilliant sunshine, with clear skies and exceptionally fresh air. Standing in the yard, Gao Fei stretched out his arms and perford a few chest-expanding exercises: "The sensation of improving my cultivation is just fantastic."
"Swoosh!"
A Divine Sense suddenly descended from above, enveloping Gao Fei.
"Who's there! Show yourself!" Gao Fei's face darkened as he shouted angrily, "Hiding in the shadows, what kind of hero are you? Have the courage to co out!"
"Uh? Unity of Heaven and Man Eighth Layer? My granny, I must be seeing things wrong," a figure walked over from the front courtyard, and on closer inspection, it was He Hentian: "To have advanced so much in three days is simply unimaginable, incredible, unbelievable!!! Impressive, truly impressive! I didn't expect such a small Forbidden-breaking Pill to possess such enormous energy! If I'd known earlier, I should have snatched it..." He Hentian was full of regret: "If I had taken the Forbidden-breaking Pill, perhaps I would have reached Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection by now." Saying this, He Hentian sighed deeply toward the sky: "My Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection, slipping by just like that! The regret in my heart is so intense!!!"
"Enough with that wailing," Gao Fei said dismissively. "The Forbidden-breaking Pill isn't omnipotent. After I took it, I was able to greatly increase my cultivation; you, on the other hand, would probably only gain a little if you took it."
"Impossible!"
"How is it impossible? You're at the Tribulation Crossing stage, and I am in the Unity of Heaven and Man stage; there's a huge gap between us. How much spiritual energy do I need to ascend one level? How much do you need? It's no exaggeration to say that you need several tis more spiritual energy to ascend one level than I do."
"You..."
"What 'you'? Am I wrong?"
"..." He Hentian couldn't refute because what Gao Fei said made sense; advancing in cultivation at the Tribulation Crossing stage was indeed much more difficult than at the Unity of Heaven and Man stage.
