Chapter 68: Frenzied Advancement

One Spirit Enhancing Pill after another was swallowed by Su Xiaoyu. She could feel the Spiritual Power within her body rapidly increasing.

In reality, how much of an elixir pill’s medicinal effect could be utilized after consumption also depended on the cultivator themselves. There were always some individuals who absorbed the medicinal effects better, thereby maximizing the pill’s efficacy.

Because of her Full Spiritual Root 100% Affinity, Su Xiaoyu was more or less like that.

She felt that not much time had even passed before the Spiritual Power within her body rose to a critical threshold. Then, without encountering any obstacle, she surged forward in one breath, reaching a new stage.

Qi Refining 5th Layer!

Su Xiaoyu broke through just like that, everything seeming perfectly natural.

After finishing her breakthrough, Su Xiaoyu stopped cultivating.

At this cultivation level, she could now consume the more effective Spirit Nurturing Pills for cultivation. However, compared to the Spirit Enhancing Pills, which could be retrieved for 200 Faith Value, retrieving a single Spirit Nurturing Pill required 400 Faith Value.

The Faith Value needed for one pill didn’t seem like much, but when the number increased, the consumption of Faith Value would not be small.

Yet no matter how great the Faith Value consumption, she still had to exchange for the Spirit Nurturing Pills.

The Spirit Nurturing Pill looked about the same size as the Spirit Enhancing Pill, but the color was different, a lustrous purple.

After exchanging for the Spirit Nurturing Pill, Su Xiaoyu directly swallowed it and resumed her cultivation.

As soon as she began cultivating, she noticed a sensation completely different from before. The Spiritual Power provided by the Spirit Nurturing Pill far exceeded that of the Spirit Enhancing Pill, like a rushing river, instantly giving her meridians a feeling of fullness.

Su Xiaoyu had to focus a bit more on circulating her cultivation method, ensuring the Spiritual Power circulated continuously in the Heavenly Cycle to integrate this energy.

After a while, Su Xiaoyu had digested one Spirit Nurturing Pill.

Although her cultivation level hadn’t changed yet, this was just the beginning. She wasn’t worried, and she took another Spirit Nurturing Pill to continue her cultivation.

When night arrived, Su Xiaoyu stopped cultivating due to a feeling of hunger.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t eaten all day.”

Su Xiaoyu touched her stomach.

With her current cultivation level, she clearly wasn’t yet able to practice Inedia, but going a long time without food wouldn’t be as unbearable as it would be for an ordinary person.

Anyway, she’d just order takeout.

Su Xiaoyu picked up her mobile phone and quickly ordered food delivery, then turned her attention to the diorama box.

In one square of the diorama box, a large bowl was placed, containing some white Vitamin Calcium Tablet Powder. Inside the guest rooms of the Qixi Festival Sect, many lights were lit up.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoyu understood. Those who had obtained Divine Medicine Granules, upon hearing that she could improve the Divine Medicine Granules so that even Golden Core True Persons could use them, had specifically come to the Qixi Festival Sect to await their chance for modification.

Since she had seen it, Su Xiaoyu casually took the large bowl out of the square.

This action was immediately noticed by many people inside the Qixi Festival Sect. Divine Medicine Granules, in the eyes of cultivators, were still extremely precious, so naturally, quite a few people were guarding them.

Yin Mengyu, as a Golden Core True Person, was in charge of leading the guard.

Detecting Su Xiaoyu’s action, Yin Mengyu and the other guards all knelt on the ground.

After Su Xiaoyu took the large bowl out, she directly poured the white powder inside into the trash can, then used the Dust Removal Art to clean it. Only then did she pour a roughly equivalent amount of Red Vitamin Calcium Tablet Powder inside and placed the large bowl back in the square of the Qixi Festival Sect.

“Many thanks to the Heavenly Maiden!”

In the square, numerous cultivators expressed their gratitude.

Yin Mengyu added one more sentence: “Reporting to the Heavenly Maiden, a message has arrived from the Blazing Heaven Sect. The enhanced Divine Medicine Granules are sufficient to allow a Mid Nascent Soul cultivator to break through to Late Nascent Soul. However, consuming it again at Late Nascent Soul produces no further advancement.”

Unable to reach the Soul Formation realm?

Su Xiaoyu understood and replied, “I know.”

Golden Dragon Market.

In the main hall, Golden Dragon looked at the mature woman who had just arrived, her expression somewhat serious. “Xiao Hongyi, what are you here for?”

Xiao Hongyi was a mature, voluptuous woman, charming in every way, exuding allure with every glance. She wore a red dress, fiery as flames, with cinnabar dotted between her brows, eyes like pools of water, and moist, red lips.

She was the Sect Leader of the Blazing Heaven Sect, a Late Nascent Soul True Monarch!

Xiao Hongyi smiled and said, “Golden Dragon, you’ve already submitted to the Heavenly Maiden, haven’t you?”

Golden Dragon remained expressionless. “What are you asking that for? Your Blazing Heaven Sect has already been working for the Heavenly Maiden for a while, hasn’t it? You didn’t come here to mock me about this, did you?”

Xiao Hongyi shook her head. “Why would I mock you? As you said, the Blazing Heaven Sect has long been working for the Heavenly Maiden. So, you and I are already companions, aren’t we?”

Golden Dragon didn’t deny it and asked again, “Even if we are companions, I don’t think you’d idly come to glance at me. You aren’t a leisurely person. If you came, there must be a reason. Be direct: what do you want to do?”

Xiao Hongyi smiled brightly. “As expected of Golden Dragon, you know me so well. Then I won’t beat around the bush. I’ve come to find you with the intention of making a move against the Cloud Net Sect.”

Golden Dragon frowned. “Dealing with the Cloud Net Sect?”

Xiao Hongyi nodded. “That’s right. The Cloud Net Sect has offended the Heavenly Maiden, making them our enemy. Although the Heavenly Maiden hasn’t expressed anything regarding the Cloud Net Sect, nor did she personally deal with them, we cannot just let things be. We must do something. Since the Heavenly Maiden hasn’t acted against the Cloud Net Sect, we shall act in her stead.”

Golden Dragon couldn’t help but ponder.

Xiao Hongyi continued, “Those from the Cloud Net Sect who previously went to Magpie Mountain are either dead or captured. This means the Cloud Net Sect itself hasn’t yet received news of what happened there. With them unaware of the situation, there is much we can do.”

The Cloud Net Sect had lost one Nascent Soul True Monarch and two Golden Core True Persons. Another Golden Core True Person, Luo Wenlie, had been locked up by Su Xiaoyu. There were also some other Cloud Net Sect disciples, all of whom the Blazing Heaven Sect had taken away afterward.

Golden Dragon looked at Xiao Hongyi. “It seems you already have a plan in mind. Let’s hear it. But I must first state that the Heavenly Maiden has ordered me to stay in the market. I cannot leave.”

Xiao Hongyi indicated her understanding. “I already know your situation. So my plan is to lure the Cloud Net Sect’s Nascent Soul True Monarchs here under your name. Compared to our Blazing Heaven Sect members, your historically neutral standing won’t easily arouse their vigilance.”

Golden Dragon understood Xiao Hongyi’s intent. “Lure them here, then deal with them together, right? Can we succeed?”

Xiao Hongyi affirmed confidently, “Of course. After consuming the Divine Medicine Granules improved by the Heavenly Maiden, several Nascent Soul True Monarchs of our Blazing Heaven Sect have achieved breakthroughs, three of them now being Late Nascent Soul. With you added, dealing with the Cloud Net Sect will be a piece of cake, won’t it?”
