Chapter 106: Chapter 105: Celestial Bridge Pill LV10
The Cangying Martial Arts Hall had been in development for over twenty years. Du Cangying had slowly built it up to its current scale, with a total of eighteen Martial Arts Hall Elders.
Among them,
ten Outer Court Elders were at the Peak of Transformation Stage, and five Inner Court Elders ranged from Initial Entry Dan Jin to Great Success in Pill Strength. The remaining three True Inheritor Elders were all at the Peak of Pill Strength.
Now,
five Outer Court Elders at the Peak of Transformation Stage, two Inner Court Elders at the Initial Entry Dan Jin and Great Success in Pill Strength levels, and the sole True Inheritor Elder at the Peak of Pill Strength had all become Huo Yi’s men. Among them, the three Martial Arts Hall Elders at the Dan Jin level had all consumed the Celestial Bridge Pill and stepped into the Outer Gang Level.
“Don’t worry,”
Huo Yi said with a cold smirk, his lips curling. “It won’t be long before the remaining Martial Arts Hall Elders all submit. Those Inner Courtyard and Outer Courtyard Instructors will also surrender, and the entire Cangying Martial Arts Hall will be in our grasp.”
“Besides,”
“Many of the important positions in the Cangying Martial Arts Hall have already been filled by our people. Even if that old codger Du Cangying comes back, on our side, including myself, we have a total of four Outer Gang Experts. Dealing with a mere Du Cangying should be a piece of cake, right?”
“Indeed, indeed.”
Ye Langtian smiled, his eyes scrutinizing Huo Yi. “Huo Yi, I must say I didn’t expect this. In the beginning, you were such a tough nut to crack.”
“And yet,”
“After surrendering, it’s like you’ve become a completely different person.”
“A wise man submits to circumstances.”
Huo Yi said, “I understand that principle. Once you’ve taken that step, there’s no turning back. You can only follow the path to its dark end.”
“Besides,”
“Although the Blood Demon Sect is a Demon Sect, it even possesses elixirs like the ’Celestial Bridge Pill’. I imagine the Blood Demon Sect must have even higher-grade elixirs. Outer Gang is not the end of the line for me, Huo Yi.”
“Well said.”
The smile on Ye Langtian’s face widened. He clapped Huo Yi on the shoulder and said, “You’re right. Besides the ’Celestial Bridge Pill’, the Blood Demon Sect has many other elixirs. As long as you make sufficient contributions, the Sect will bestow upon you higher-grade Treasure Pills.”
“When that time comes,”
“Never mind Inner Gang or Innate Gang Qi—even stepping into the Immortal realm wouldn’t be out of the question.”
“Excellent, excellent.”
Huo Yi’s face was wreathed in smiles.
Meanwhile, inside Xu Qing’s room.
“The Celestial Bridge Pill.”
Xu Qing took out the Celestial Bridge Pill that Huo Yi had given him. It was indeed a Treasure Pill, and its medicinal effects were astonishing, not to be underestimated. It was potent enough to allow a Dan Jin expert to directly open their Ren and Du Meridians and construct the Bridge of Heaven and Earth.
“Record.”
With a thought,
SWISH!
The Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with a fluorescent light.
At the same time,
the Celestial Bridge Pill in Xu Qing’s hand also flashed with a white light.
SWISH!
The next moment,
a series of images seemed to appear before Xu Qing’s eyes. The numerous images depicted the refining of the Celestial Bridge Pill, a scene like something out of Purgatory.
Because,
the Celestial Bridge Pill was an Evil Pill refined through the blood sacrifice of ordinary commoners. To refine one enhanced Celestial Bridge Pill like this required the blood sacrifice of an entire village of commoners.
It required the lives of several hundred, nearly a thousand people.
[RECORDING SUCCESSFUL!]
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV1: 0/100 (This is an Evil Pill, refined by an Alchemy expert from the Blood Demon Sect through the blood sacrifice of seven hundred lives, combined with other materials. It allows a Danjin Martial Artist to directly step into the ’Outer Gang’ Level, but the side effects are immense. After breaking through, they will be forever trapped in the Outer Gang Realm, while their sanity will be eroded by the Evil Intent contained within the pill, gradually turning them into a ’Blood Demon’. They will also be controlled by the ’Blood Demon Gu Worm’.)]
’Good heavens.’
Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, his scalp tingling. ’I knew Senior Brother Huo Yi was up to no good, but I didn’t expect him to be this vicious, giving me such an Evil Pill.’
At the same time,
through the Encyclopedia of All Things, Xu Qing already knew how to gain Experience Points for the ’Celestial Bridge Pill’. Since elixirs were meant to be consumed, he could gain Experience Points simply by consuming the ’Celestial Bridge Pill’.
Of course,
Xu Qing had no intention of actually consuming this Celestial Bridge Pill. He pondered for a moment and came up with a solution. He could use the Gang Qi within his body to envelop the pill.
That way,
even if he swallowed the Celestial Bridge Pill, as long as it wasn’t digested, he wouldn’t absorb it and would have nothing to worry about.
’I’ll give it a try.’
Xu Qing mused, ’I hope this works.’
“PHEW…”
Xu Qing took a deep breath. With a thought, Gang Qi surged out, quickly enveloping the Celestial Bridge Pill. He then put it in his mouth and swallowed.
Immediately,
with another thought, Xu Qing fully unleashed his Immortal-level spirit, powerful enough to achieve Introspection, and felt the Celestial Bridge Pill enter his stomach.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Because it was tightly wrapped in Gang Qi, the Celestial Bridge Pill was not digested by his stomach acid. Thus, he wasn’t truly consuming it.
…
[Experience +1]
…
[Experience +1]
…
「In the blink of an eye.」
The Experience Points for the Celestial Bridge Pill were increasing rapidly. As long as the pill remained in Xu Qing’s body, it generated about one experience point per second.
’Excellent!’
Xu Qing was overjoyed.
BUZZ!
One hour later,
the Gang Qi enveloping the Celestial Bridge Pill began to fail. With a thought, Xu Qing mobilized the bodily control granted by his Immortal level, using peristalsis to slowly move the pill out of his body.
Xu Qing spat the Celestial Bridge Pill out in one go.
At this moment,
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV1: 3600/100 (Upgradable!)]
“Upgrade the Celestial Bridge Pill,”
Xu Qing said.
SWISH!
And so,
the Encyclopedia of All Things flickered with a fluorescent light, and the Celestial Bridge Pill flashed with a white light. Before Xu Qing’s eyes, a series of images seemed to materialize again.
Within these images,
the scene of the Celestial Bridge Pill’s refining played out. But this time, a full two villages were blood-sacrificed, with the number of sacrificed villagers reaching fourteen hundred.
…
[UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL!]
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV2: 3500/200 (Upgradable!)]
…
“Continue upgrading the Celestial Bridge Pill,”
Xu Qing said.
…
[UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL!]
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV3: 3300/400 (Upgradable!)]
…
[UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL!]
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV4: 2900/800 (Upgradable!)]
…
[UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL!]
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV5: 2100/1600 (Upgradable!)]
…
[UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL!]
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV6: 500/3200 (Refined by blood-sacrificing thirty-two villages, a total of twenty-two thousand four hundred villagers, combined with precious Spirit Medicine. Consuming it is enough to reach the Peak of Inner Gang, only one step away from the Innate Gang Qi level. However, the malicious intent contained within the elixir is too strong. Whoever consumes it will descend into madness, becoming a Mad Demon that knows only slaughter.)]
…
’The Celestial Bridge Pill has reached Level 6 and already has such an effect.’
Xu Qing nodded, a satisfied smile touching his lips. ’But this effect is far too tyrannical. If I really ate it, even if I gained immense power, I’d basically be dead for sure.’
Next,
Xu Qing repeated his previous actions, continuing to use his Gang Qi to envelop the Level 6 Celestial Bridge Pill and swallow it into his body. The pill’s Experience Points once again began to increase, one point per second.
Time flew by.
Before he knew it, Xu Qing had barely rested the entire night. He glanced out the window; it was almost morning on the second day.
Evidently,
Xu Qing had spent the entire night essentially just acquiring Experience Points for the Celestial Bridge Pill, a process that took a full ten-plus hours.
At this moment,
looking closely at the horizon, he could faintly see the morning sun slowly climbing over the mountain peak, while the moon slowly set behind it.
It was the very moment the sun and moon traded places.
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV6: 36500/3200 (Upgradable!)]
“Upgrade the Celestial Bridge Pill,”
Xu Qing said.
…
[UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL!]
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV7: 32800/6400 (Upgradable!)]
…
[UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL!]
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV8: 26400/12800 (Upgradable!)]
…
[UPGRADE SUCCESSFUL!]
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV9: 13600/25600 (This is an Evil Pill of ultimate yin and evil, created from the blood sacrifice of tens of thousands of living beings. It was refined using a special method that is difficult to replicate and perform, and it should be nearly impossible for it to exist in this world. And yet, it was successfully refined by some stroke of extreme luck. Consuming this pill allows one to directly reach the ’Peak of Invulnerability’, but they will instantly transform into a terrifying Demon, and might even become a ’Deceit’.)]
…
He sucked in a sharp breath.
Seeing the description for the Level 9 Celestial Bridge Pill, Xu Qing couldn’t help but feel shocked. ’I can’t believe the effect has reached such a terrifying level. Just by eating it, one can reach the ’Peak of Invulnerability’. An elixir like this almost defies the common sense of this world. But the side effects are equally horrifying.’
’However…’
Xu Qing shook his head. ’I’ve spent a whole night without any rest, using all my time to increase the Celestial Bridge Pill’s Experience Points, and it still hasn’t reached Level 10.’
’I’m still short by over ten thousand Experience Points.’
’Might as well keep going then.’
And so,
Xu Qing once again swallowed the Level 9 Celestial Bridge Pill, continuing to use his own body to increase its Experience Points. During this time, Huo Yi even came to visit once.
But Xu Qing didn’t leave his room.
「Four hours later.」
The sun had risen to its zenith; it was almost noon.
“PHEW…”
Xu Qing took a deep breath as he spat out the Level 9 Celestial Bridge Pill once more. Thanks to the Gang Qi’s protection and his Perfect control over his body from the Immortal realm, Xu Qing was unaffected by the Level 9 pill’s medicinal power.
At this moment,
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV9: 28000/25600 (Upgradable!)]
“Upgrade the Level 9 Celestial Bridge Pill,”
Xu Qing said.
BUZZ!
This time,
the fluorescent light from the Encyclopedia of All Things was extremely intense. Accompanied by waves of fluorescence, the Celestial Bridge Pill in Xu Qing’s hand also began to transform, emitting a dense white light.
The white light faded.
The Level 10 Celestial Bridge Pill had transformed into an elixir as white as mutton-fat jade. It was crystal clear, without the slightest hint of Evil Qi or Demon Intent.
[Celestial Bridge Pill LV10: 2400/51200 (This is an elixir that has undergone the baptism of Celestial Thunder, washing away all Evil Thoughts, Demonic Thought, Evil Qi, and Demonic Qi. If a Danjin Martial Artist consumes this elixir, they can directly step into the Peak of Invulnerability. However, their Cultivation will be forever trapped at the Peak of Invulnerability, and they can only rely on similar elixirs to break through. One can drip a drop of Essence Blood onto it. The elixir will absorb the Essence Blood. Any other living being who consumes this elixir will be controlled by the owner of the Essence Blood for all eternity, recognizing them as their master.)]
“PHEW…”
Xu Qing let out a long breath, a trace of fatigue on his face. ’Finally, it’s reached Level 10.’
