Chapter 67 - 65: Minor Completion of the Physical Body, Shocking Everyone

Chapter 67: Chapter 65: Minor Completion of the Physical Body, Shocking Everyone

Hearing Jiang Hao’s method, everyone found it somewhat laughable.

If they had enough Small Spirit Revitalization Pills, it would indeed be a foolproof plan. But the problem was that no matter how deep the Qin Family’s foundation was, their pills were not endless. Even within this genius team, each person was only allocated three Small Spirit Revitalization Pills. They wouldn’t dare use them unless absolutely necessary.

Seeing the anxious eyes of the Qin Family’s direct line of descent, Jiang Hao sighed helplessly. "Pills aren’t an issue. I can solve that for everyone."

After a moment of thought, Jiang Hao decided to provide pills for the Qin City group. These pills were incredibly precious to these youths, but to an Alchemy Master like Jiang Hao, they were nothing more than the most ordinary Spirit Pills. Not to mention, he had originally intended to use these Spirit Pills to exchange for heavenly treasures to replenish the Qin Family’s storehouse. He only gave up on that exchange due to the sudden incident at the Pill Storage Tower.

Bringing these Spirit Pills out today could be considered compensation for what he had taken from the Qin Family’s storehouse over the past few years.

Having spoken, Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate. With a sweeping wave of his hand, countless exquisite pill bottles materialized out of thin air and hovered before everyone.

"Here are over two thousand Small Spirit Revitalization Pills, ten to a bottle, along with a few Healing Pills. Everyone, take a bottle. With these pills, widening the gap between us and our pursuers shouldn’t be a problem."

With another gentle wave, over two hundred bottles of Small Spirit Revitalization Pills and Healing Pills floated toward the youths of Qin City.

Watching this scene unfold, everyone’s eyes widened in sheer disbelief.

"Brother Qin, where... where did you get so many Small Spirit Revitalization Pills?"

"Heavens, they really are Spirit Revitalization Pills! Look, they really are!"

"Not just Spirit Revitalization Pills—they’re top-grade Small Spirit Revitalization Pills!"

As they opened the bottles to examine the contents closely, they all stood petrified in place.

"Ten Spirit Revitalization Pills... I’ve never seen so many in my entire life!"

"Not ten. Over two thousand."

Some stared at the pills in their hands, vibrating with excitement, before the realization hit them like a bolt of lightning. The ten pills were just what each individual had received. If all the pills were pooled together, there were over two thousand!

Two thousand Spirit Revitalization Pills—what a terrifyingly massive number was that?

"Brother Qin Fan, how do you have so many Small Spirit Revitalization Pills?" Even Qin Xiangyuan’s jaw dropped, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

She only knew that Jiang Hao had been performing Alchemy continuously for the past three years, but she had never paid attention to his achievements in the Alchemy Dao. After all, he always concocted pills in the Qin Family’s Cultivation Chamber, which she couldn’t enter.

She wondered if Brother Qin Fan had refined these pills himself.

This was Qin Xiangyuan’s first thought. If he hadn’t refined them himself, she couldn’t fathom how much money would be required to purchase such a vast quantity. These were Tier Two Seventh Grade Spirit Revitalization Pills! Even a deeply rooted clan like the Qin Family likely only had this much in reserve, and that was after years of accumulation.

In the crowd, Qin Ye stared at the Small Spirit Revitalization Pills in his hand, his eyes brimming with shock and horror as his body trembled uncontrollably.

Long before they left Qin City, his aunt, Nalan Feiyan, had warned him that he must closely follow Qin Fan upon entering the ancient ruins and absolutely not cause trouble. To keep Qin Ye in check, Nalan Feiyan had even told him about the incident at the Pill Storage Tower, though Qin Ye had remained skeptical.

But at this moment, a tempest of emotions stirred in his heart.

He looked at Jiang Hao with horror and disbelief in his voice. "Qin Fan, are... are you really a Tier Two Eighth Grade Alchemy Master?"

BOOM!

His words struck the crowd like a thunderbolt. Everyone was instantly petrified, unable to believe their ears.

"Young Master Qin, what did you say? Brother Qin is a Tier Two Eighth Grade Alchemy Master?"

"Qin Ye, you must be joking. How old is Qin Fan? How could he possibly be a Tier Two Alchemy Master? And an Eighth Grade one at that?"

Everyone knew exactly what a Tier Two Eighth Grade Alchemy Master represented. Even in the entire Earth Realm of Celestial City, a Pill Master of that level was considered a Pill Dao Giant. There was simply no way a teenager could achieve such a feat.

Yet Jiang Hao’s silence seemed to confirm the answer, delivering another heavy blow to everyone’s hearts.

Jiang Hao didn’t deny it because he naturally guessed where Qin Ye had gotten the information. It had to be from Nalan Feiyan; after all, she was Qin Ye’s aunt. However, this tacit admission instantly caused an uproar among the youths.

"Brother Qin, are you... are you really a Tier Two Eighth Grade Alchemy Master?" someone couldn’t help but ask. To have a Tier Two Eighth Grade Pill Master in their own camp sounded like pure fantasy.

Facing their probing questions, Jiang Hao merely smiled without saying a word, but the answer was already obvious. After the brief shock, the entire genius team of Qin City erupted in cheers.

"This is amazing! Since Brother Qin is a Tier Two Eighth Grade Alchemy Master, doesn’t that mean we now have a Pill Dao Giant backing us in these ancient ruins?"

"This is an ancient ruin! Having a Tier Two Alchemy Master holding down the fort here is unimaginably terrifying."

"Moreover, the Spiritual Qi in these ancient ruins is so dense it’s practically solid. Not only has it accumulated endless years of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but it must have also nurtured countless ancient heavenly treasures."

"So what?"

"So what? It means that going forward in these ancient ruins, Brother Qin will never lack Spirit Grass or Spirit Medicine for Alchemy. We might even be able to harvest millennium-old earth treasures!"

In other words, if Jiang Hao was willing to help them, the Qin City group would have absolutely no worries when it came to pills.

As soon as these words were spoken, realization dawned on everyone, and their eyes lit up with exhilaration.

"Brother Qin Fan, are you really a Tier Two Eighth Grade Alchemy Master?" Qin Xiangyuan asked, her face beaming with joy.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao smiled wryly and said somewhat helplessly, "If everyone needs pills in the future, I will do my best to refine them for you. But before that, shouldn’t we hurry up and shake off those tailing hounds?"

"Yes, whatever Brother Qin Fan says."

"We’ll listen to Brother Qin! From now on, you and Fairy Qin are the leaders of our team. If anyone dares to disobey your orders, I’ll be the first to cut them down!"

"Being able to join the Fifth Camp is truly a blessing from my ancestors. I originally thought our team was the weakest in Qin City, but it turns out we’re the dark horse."

"Young Master Qin, we spoke offensively that day, and we hope you won’t lower yourself to our level. From now on, we will definitely follow your and Fairy Qin’s lead. If you tell us to go east, we will never go west!"

Countless youths from Qin City voiced their allegiance, eagerly currying favor. It was no joke. The person standing before them was a Tier Two Eighth Grade Alchemy Master. If not for their current special circumstances, they wouldn’t even have the qualifications to suck up to a Pill Dao Giant of this level.

Watching everyone’s reactions, Jiang Hao felt very helpless but chose to tacitly accept it. He was no longer the fool from the Earth Realm of Xingyue City; he did indeed have the qualifications for this.

"Since everyone has spoken, fine. From now on, all Cultivators of Qin City will follow Fairy Qin’s orders," Jiang Hao said, pushing the boat along with the current. To establish a foothold in this great era, he indeed needed to cultivate his own faction. However, these genius youths of Qin City were obviously not his target. After all, he was someone who would eventually leave the Qin Family.

Hearing this, Qin Xiangyuan smiled sweetly and immediately announced, "In that case, listen to me now. Everyone, do not be stingy with the pills in your hands. Move forward with all your might and widen the gap with the hounds tailing us!"

In an instant, nearly two hundred figures soared into the air, flying frantically toward the depths of the ancient ruins.

With the support of the Small Spirit Revitalization Pills, the Qin City genius team had almost no need to worry about the consumption of Spiritual Power in their bodies. And these pills quickly produced miraculous effects. Countless pursuing Cultivators were forced to stop and meditate to recover their Spiritual Power after covering a certain distance. Jiang Hao and the others perfectly utilized these gaps to continuously widen the distance between the two sides.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Over this month, the pursuers behind Jiang Hao’s group had grown increasingly sparse, and they had managed to pull ahead by a full three days’ journey.

"One Small Spirit Revitalization Pill can buy us a day’s distance. The ten given by Brother Qin, plus our own three, can create at least a thirteen-day gap."

At this moment, amidst some ruined walls, the youths of Qin City were all sitting cross-legged in meditation. However, their purpose for meditating was not to recover depleted Spiritual Power, but to cultivate.

Indeed, Jiang Hao’s pills were so plentiful that they not only relieved everyone of the burden of recovering Spiritual Power but even afforded them the time to stop and cultivate. It had to be said that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within the ancient ruins was truly terrifying. Its density was more than hundreds of times that of the Qin City Cultivation Chamber.

In such an intensely concentrated cultivation environment, everyone’s cultivation speed was at least ten times faster than in the outside world. This cultivation condition alone was an incredible stroke of fortune.

At a certain moment...

BOOM!

A muffled sound echoed, and a youth instantly beamed with uncontainable joy.

"Excellent, I’ve broken through! I’ve broken through to the Unity Realm Tenth Layer! I’ve reached the Unity Realm Tenth Layer!"

For a moment, everyone cast envious glances his way. But before they had time to react, a terrifying aura surged from another direction. Someone else had broken through.

"It’s Young Master Qin Ye."

"Hiss—Unity Realm Perfection! Qin Ye has actually stepped into Unity Realm Perfection."

Many were both envious and exhilarated. They were envious that Qin Ye had taken only a month to break through to Unity Realm Perfection. They were exhilarated, naturally, because everyone was experiencing breakthroughs.

These cultivation geniuses were already extraordinarily gifted; what they had lacked was the support of a proper environment and abundant Spiritual Qi. Now that they had entered this realm, breaking through was as natural and effortless for them as water flowing into a channel.

"Fairy Qin has been preparing to charge into the Spirit Transformation Realm for the past three days. I wonder how she is doing now," someone suddenly remarked.

This instantly caught everyone’s attention, and all eyes subconsciously drifted toward the back of the ruined walls. That was where Qin Xiangyuan and Jiang Hao were secluded in cultivation. Even though their seclusion had only lasted a brief three days, it couldn’t be ignored. After all, the environment had drastically transformed.

Sure enough, the moment those words were spoken...

BOOM!

An earth-shattering aura swept through the ruined walls that had stood silent for an untold number of years. At the same time, a beam of spiritual light descended from the heavens, enveloping that area as boundless Spirit Transformation Qi shot into the sky.

"Spirit Transformation Realm! The young lady has undergone Spirit Transformation!"

"Fairy Qin has stepped into the Spirit Transformation Realm. This is the Dao resonance that occurs during Spirit Transformation."

After a month of fleeing across thousands of miles, a Spirit Transformation Realm Powerhouse had finally been born among them. How could this not be thrilling?

However, Qin Xiangyuan stepping into the Spirit Transformation Realm was expected. After all, she was already at the Peak of the Unity Realm before entering the ancient ruins. Had she wished, she could have broken through on the spot that very day. Her reason for waiting until now was primarily to mine her own limits. The closer she came to her limits before breaking through, the more terrifying her future accomplishments on the path of cultivation would be.

After a brief wave of excitement, everyone’s gaze unanimously shifted to another person.

"I wonder what realm Brother Qin has reached?"

"He’s probably caught up to Fairy Qin by now. At the very least, he should have one foot in the Spirit Transformation Realm."

"I’m not so sure. Brother Qin’s cultivation speed is terrifying. To reach the Peak of the Unity Realm in just a short month... that kind of cultivation speed is simply appalling."

Just as everyone was speculating...

BOOM!

A horrifying force swept outward, causing countless ruined walls to collapse with a crash.

This scene instantly startled everyone. Pale with shock, they hurriedly took to the air. Yet, the moment they saw the sight before them, every single one of them was left utterly dumbfounded.
