Chapter 23 - Chapter 22. Qi Gathering Pill

"Fifth Uncle, have you found that little bastard? I want to kill him with my own hands. And that Lin Yue'er, I want to sell her to a brothel to be a prostitute and make her weep for the rest of her life!!!!"

In the room, Jia Pingzheng had his wrist bandaged, and his face was full of a ferocious expression.

His injury was not serious, but on that day, when he was punched and sent flying by Yun Xiao in front of so many people, and even his fiancée who hadn't married him yet was snatched away. Whenever he thought of these things, he felt his face burn and couldn't suppress his anger.

"Alright, alright. Look at your lack of ambition. Don't you understand until now who is really to blame for this problem?"

Seeing Jia Pingzheng getting so excited just as soon as Yun Xiao and Lin Yue'er were mentioned, Jia Qusheng couldn't help frowning and said a little unpleasantly.

Among the younger generation of the Jia family, Jia Pingzheng's aptitude is indeed much better than others, but only his character is not perfect. But now, they can only continue to cultivate him and cannot change to someone else midway.

"I..." Seeing his fifth uncle seemed displeased, Jia Pingzheng was stunned for a moment. The emotions that were about to be ignited were forcibly suppressed by him.

Since childhood, his martial arts were basically taught by Jia Qusheng. He had always been very afraid of this fifth uncle. Because he knew that if he made this fifth uncle unhappy, even his father couldn't save him.

"Nephew knows his mistake!" Lowering his head, he quickly apologized obediently so as not to make his fifth uncle unhappy.

In fact, how could he not understand that in the end, all this was his own problem. If his strength was strong enough, he wouldn't have been injured by Yun Xiao's punch on that day, and naturally there wouldn't be what happened today.

"Good that you know your mistake." Waving his hand, Jia Qusheng suddenly became a little more serious. Speaking, he took out a small jade bottle from his chest and casually threw it to Jia Pingzheng.

"Huh? What's this..."

Instinctively catching the jade bottle, Jia Pingzheng couldn't help being stunned and looked at his fifth uncle in confusion.

"This is a Gathering Qi Pill. The family spent a great deal of effort to get it. Originally, it was to be given to you when you went to Leiyun Academy. But after experiencing so much this time, I believe you have also grown. It is time for you to take it."

"What? Gathering Qi Pill?"

When Jia Qusheng finished speaking, Jia Pingzheng immediately showed a shocked expression, and then ecstasy followed.

"Gathering Qi Pill? It's actually a Gathering Qi Pill?" Eagerly opening the bottle stopper, Jia Pingzheng put his nose close to the jade bottle and took a light sniff. Immediately, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body.

"Don't expose it to the air for too long. Take it now. I'll protect you while you take it." Seeing Jia Pingzheng so excited, Jia Qusheng waved his hand, indicating that he should not delay any longer.

The Gathering Qi Pill is a pill known to all martial artists. It is said that a martial artist who has just entered the True Qi Realm can directly break through layers of barriers and reach the realm above the sixth level of the True Qi Realm by taking a Gathering Qi Pill. And a martial artist above the sixth level of the True Qi Realm can break through the bottleneck and raise their realm by one or two levels by taking the pill. It is extremely precious.

As we all know, martial artists in the True Qi Realm cannot directly devour natural treasures because the meridians of martial artists at this stage are fragile and cannot withstand the energy rush of natural treasures nor can they absorb the energy in natural treasures.

And the Gathering Qi Pill, through the alchemy methods of divine masters, refines the energy of natural treasures into a special form, which is just suitable for martial artists in the True Qi Realm to take. It is something that any family power dreams of.

However, this kind of pill is very rare. Not to mention a family power like the Jia family, even in the hands of the master of Leiyun Prefecture, there probably won't be many.

It is actually an unlikely thing for the Jia family to get such a pill. I don't know what kind of tricks are involved.

"Nephew will take the pill now." Without Jia Qusheng's instructions, Jia Pingzheng immediately poured the pill in the jade bottle into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Chirp chirp chirp!!!!"

As the Gathering Qi Pill went down his stomach, there was immediately a sound of 暴走 of true qi in Jia Pingzheng's body. Seeing this, Jia Qusheng on the side suddenly made a move and put his palm on the latter's back to help him refine the power of the pill.

At this time, Jia Pingzheng also operated the martial arts skill he cultivated and used the power of the pill to break through the realm. Before long, his cultivation level broke through from the sixth level of the True Qi Realm to the seventh level of the True Qi Realm in one go. Then, like a broken bamboo, he broke through the realm of the eighth level of the True Qi Realm. It was only when he was about to break through the barrier of the eighth level of the True Qi Realm and was about to advance to the ninth level of the True Qi Realm that he slowly stopped.

"The eighth level of the True Qi Realm. I have actually reached the eighth level of the True Qi Realm. Hahaha!!!"

Stopping his cultivation and standing up, Jia Pingzheng immediately felt that he was more than ten times stronger. A sense of power that made him feel that everything was under control immediately boosted his confidence.

"Yun Xiao, don't let me find you. Otherwise, I will definitely tear you to pieces with my own strength!!"

Feeling that he was more than ten times stronger in an instant, Jia Pingzheng couldn't wait to find Yun Xiao right now. Then, in front of everyone, he would wash away the humiliation of that day...

The sun set and the moon rose, and more than ten days passed in a flash.

Counting the days, it had been half a month since Yun Xiao made a big fuss at the Jia family. In this half month, the Jia family and the Lin family had been constantly searching for Yun Xiao and Lin Yue'er. It seemed that they wouldn't give up until they found the two.

Unfortunately, no matter how much effort these two big families put in, Yun Xiao and Lin Yue'er were like they had disappeared from the world. Not even a trace could be found.

Although the Jia family lost face, as time passed, no matter how hot a topic was, it would eventually pass. Maybe in a few months, what happened at the Jia family that day would be naturally forgotten by everyone. Only at some special times would people remember this piece of history...

At Eagle Sorrow Mountain, on a cliff that is hundreds of feet high. This is one of the many forbidden areas of Eagle Sorrow Mountain. There are many hunters in Red Luan Town. But except for Yun Jin, the old hermit on the cliff, no other hunter would have the idea of hunting in this cliff area.

The hunters in Red Luan Town call this cliff Soul-breaking Cliff. Before Yun Jin, the old hermit on the cliff, came to Red Luan Town, Soul-breaking Cliff had caused many hunters to lose their lives here. Over time, this place has completely become a forbidden area. No one dares to set foot here and risk their own lives.

However, no one knows that this deadly place that has swallowed countless hunters has actually been the back garden of Yun Jin and Yun Xiao, grandfather and grandson. A small part of Yun Xiao's ability to survive in Eagle Sorrow Mountain was cultivated here.

At this time, on the top of Soul-breaking Cliff, Yun Xiao was sitting cross-legged on a rock and was putting one spiritual herb after another into his mouth. Before long, he swallowed all the dozen or so spiritual herbs placed in front of him. Then he operated the method of the Golden Stone Fist and refined the energy of these spiritual herbs, converting it into Five Elements True Essence and storing it in his dantian.

"Alas, more than a dozen Purple Ying Herbs, each of which is almost two hundred years old. But for me, it's just a drop in the bucket!"

Sighing faintly, Yun Xiao couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face. Obviously, he was not very satisfied with this harvest.

In more than ten days, he had visited all the forbidden areas he could reach and searched all the natural treasures marked by his grandfather for him. Unfortunately, after eating hundreds of natural treasures, he was still far from the minor accomplishment realm of the True Essence Realm.

"What should I do? The good things on the periphery of Eagle Sorrow Mountain have basically been collected by grandpa and me. Even if there are some left, at most they are just ordinary spiritual plants two or three hundred years old. For me now, they are basically of little use."

Resting his chin on his hands, Yun Xiao couldn't help feeling a little helpless at this moment.

His Five Elements True Essence is really too difficult to upgrade. Counting the Sacred Infant Fruit he ate that day, the spiritual plants and spiritual treasures he ate these days could probably buy a luxury mansion in the best area of Red Luan Town. But after eating so many good things, the Five Elements True Essence in his dantian is still quite a distance from the minor accomplishment realm.

According to his estimation, if an ordinary True Essence Realm martial artist took these spiritual plants and spiritual treasures, he could completely reach the major accomplishment realm of true essence in his dantian. Not to mention anything else, just the Sacred Infant Fruit left by that mysterious woman probably has the hope of allowing a minor accomplishment True Essence Realm martial artist to advance to the major accomplishment realm.

These days, he kept looking for natural treasures to eat. There were also spiritual treasures over five hundred years old. But even treasures of this level, when converted into Five Elements True Essence, it was basically just a wisp. Compared with the effect of that Sacred Infant Fruit, it was simply one in the sky and one on the ground.

This situation made him understand that the Sacred Infant Fruit left by that mysterious woman is probably not just a thousand-year-old spiritual treasure. At least, that thing is also a rare treasure over several thousand years old!

A thousand-year-old or more rare treasure only made him improve a little. Wouldn't it mean that simply relying on these hundred-year-old spiritual plants, he probably couldn't make a big improvement for a while?

After eating spiritual herbs these days, he knew that the older a natural treasure was, the more Five Elements power could be decomposed. And those ordinary spiritual herbs less than a hundred years old had no effect at all.

"I can't go on like this anymore. There are two paths in front of me now. One is to take a risk and go deeper into Eagle Sorrow Mountain to look for spiritual treasures that are at least five hundred years old. But there are many magical beasts in the deeper parts of Eagle Sorrow Mountain, and the risk factor is really not small."

In the deeper parts of Eagle Sorrow Mountain, there will definitely be spiritual treasures over five hundred years old. But the older a natural treasure is, the more powerful magical beasts will appear around it. Although his current strength can completely deal with first and second-order magical beasts, the magical beasts in the deeper parts of Eagle Sorrow Mountain will definitely not be just at this level. If he encounters third-order or even stronger spiritual-order magical beasts, he doesn't know if he can escape.

First-order magical beasts are equivalent to martial artists in the minor accomplishment realm of the True Essence Realm. Second-order magical beasts are equivalent to the major accomplishment realm of the True Essence Realm. Third-order magical beasts have the power of a martial artist at the perfection realm of the True Essence Realm.

As for stronger spiritual-order magical beasts, they already have the power equivalent to a Yuan Dan Realm martial artist among human martial artists. There won't be too many of them in Eagle Sorrow Mountain, but there will definitely be some.

"No, it's too risky to rashly enter the deeper parts of Eagle Sorrow Mountain. It seems that I can only choose the other path, go back to Red Luan Town!!"

With his eyes slightly narrowed, he immediately rejected the idea of entering the deeper parts of Eagle Sorrow Mountain and resolutely chose the second path. And this second path is to leave Eagle Sorrow Mountain and return to Red Luan Town!

"The searches by the Jia family and the Lin family for me are basically concentrated inside and outside Eagle Sorrow Mountain. But they will definitely not expect that I will go back at this time."

As his thoughts turned, while considering his actions after returning, he also guessed the thoughts of the people of the Lin family and the Jia family so as to find flaws and seek more benefits for himself..
