PFC Chapter 120, First Position, Rank 9
Chapter 120, First Position, Rank 9
After Yu Zijing cleaned all the blood off his body and apologized to Hu Xiao and He Yu, he knocked on Chu Xinyao's door.
"knocking"
"come in!"
Chu Xinyao responded, and seeing that it was Yu Zijing, she happily invited him to come forward.
Yu Zijing sat in the chair in front of Chu Xinyao and accepted the tea that She Mo handed him.
"Thank you." Over the years, he had been busy trying to break through to the ninth rank and hadn't paid much attention to the powerful figures on the continent.
It was only on the boat that he inquired about Chu Xinyao's several beast husbands from Yu Paopao, among whom the most powerful was the first beast husband, She Mo.
The legendary chieftain of the Ink Serpent tribe, the strongest man on the continent, known for his cunning and treacherous nature.
"Yao, do you think there's any way to completely resolve his beast-like state?" Although everyone knew Chu Xinyao's identity as a saintess, she didn't usually act too specially.
Could it be using mental power?
Shemo looked at Chu Xinyao with some suspicion.
Even Yu Zijing, who was drinking tea with his head down, turned his gaze to Chu Xinyao, who was teasing the snake cubs.
Chu Xinyao chuckled softly, stood up, and sat down at the wooden table.
Snake Ink, with his keen eye, poured her a cup of floral tea.
Chu Xinyao gently blew on the teacup and took a small sip. When she put down the teacup, she took out an evolution pill from her spatial storage.
The tiny pill rolled in Chu Xinyao's palm. It was a deep pale yellow with a smooth surface, as if it had been carefully polished, reflecting a faint luster.
"What is this?" Surprise flashed in Shemo's eyes. He had never imagined that the strange pills in Chu Xinyao's hand would have such miraculous effects.
He remembered that Chu Xinyao always took these pills regularly, and it seemed to have no problems, and even seemed to have some benefits.
He had always thought these were just tonics for women to nourish their bodies, but he never expected her to take them out at this time.
"This is the pill that can help you advance to the ninth rank."
"How is this possible?" Snake Ink's voice was filled with disbelief. He accidentally dropped the teacup in his hand with a loud "bang" due to his excitement.
The ninth rank—that's a realm every cultivator dreams of; it's not something that can be reached so easily.
He crouched down to pick up the teacup. Fortunately, the teacup was made of hard stone, so it did not break even after being dropped.
Chu Xinyao handed the pill to Yu Zijing, who reached out his hand. His palm was broad and steady as he took the pill.
The pill lay quietly in his palm, like a mysterious gem, exuding a profound and indescribable aura.
Staring at the pill, Yu Zijing's eyes revealed a hint of curiosity, as if she was pondering what kind of turning point this pill would bring.
Chu Xinyao looked at him curiously, seemingly with some anticipation.
"I'm just supposed to eat it like this?" Yu Zijing held the pills, somewhat at a loss.
"Or else?"
Chu Xinyao suddenly remembered that when Hu Xiao broke through to the eighth level, he needed to find a place far away from human habitation.
"Should we find a secluded place to break through?" she suggested.
“No need, cough,” Snake Ink’s lips curled up, “I’m protecting him, and I’ll see what’s so interesting.”
He thought Chu Xinyao was deliberately teasing Yu Zijing, but his smile quickly faded.
It seems that Chu Xinyao has no way to solve the problem of the fallen beasts, so this fish-dragon in front of her cannot be allowed to live.
Yu Zijing held the pill in her hand, closed her eyes, and put it in her mouth.
The pill melted in my mouth, followed by...
Nothing happened!
"How is it? How is it?" Chu Xinyao looked at Yu Zijing with expectant eyes. The medicine she had taken before had taken effect very quickly.
Yu Zijing smiled bitterly, "It seems not... Hmm," a powerful force began to surge within him, like a sleeping dragon awakening. That force rampaged through his body, seemingly searching for an outlet.
Having experienced the attack once, Yu Ziji naturally knew what it was.
With his eyes closed and hands forming a mudra, he began to guide this power. His body began to emit a faint light, which grew brighter and brighter as the power flowed, until it shone like a small sun.
The surrounding air began to distort, as if drawn by this force, forming a vortex centered on the fish-like creature.
His body made a series of tiny cracking sounds under the impact of this force, each crack accompanied by intense pain, but he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
He knew that this was the only way to break through, and only by enduring this pain could he be reborn.
As time went on, the energy within Yu Zijing's body became increasingly violent, and fine cracks began to appear on his skin, from which blood seeped out. He gritted his teeth and persevered.
These things posed little threat to him.
The violent energy struck his head directly, and Yu Zijing felt a chill in his heart, the memory of his previous defeat still vivid in his mind.
Just as he was at a loss, a cool breeze enveloped his head.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot out from them, as if they could pierce through the void.
"Ah!" With this shout, the energy within his body seemed to find an outlet, surging wildly towards his brow and gathering into a dazzling point of light.
With a loud "boom," Yu Zijing's body trembled violently, and an invisible wave spread out from him.
Snake Ink stepped forward, like an unshakeable mountain, protecting Chu Xinyao and the cubs behind him.
Seeing that the wooden stool had collapsed under the impact, Chu Xinyao quickly put all the cubs into her nurturing space.
Shemo raised his hands, palms facing outward, and a gentle power surged from his body to counteract the fluctuations released by Yu Zijing.
This force acted like a barrier, firmly containing Yu Zijing's fluctuations within a certain range and preventing them from spreading further. Yu Zijing's body began to emit an even more dazzling light, as if to illuminate the entire room.
Finally, all the energy was gathered, and Yu Zijing felt as if his body had been reshaped, every cell full of vitality. He knew he had succeeded.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Shemo's forehead. Fortunately, Yu Zijing had succeeded. He looked at Chu Xinyao with some surprise. That little pill actually worked.
"How's the caviar?" Chu Xinyao asked cautiously, peeking out.
Yu Zijing clenched her fists, feeling the immense power filling her entire body, coupled with an unprecedented clarity of thought.
Some exclaimed in disbelief, "I really succeeded! I'm at the ninth level! Xin'er, your medicine really works!"
Chu Xinyao nodded and looked at the three people watching from the doorway. It seemed that apart from the grand spectacle during the orc's advancement, there was nothing else wrong with the orc taking the evolution pill!
"Come in, all of you! I'll tell you something too."
She was well aware of the orcs' yearning for the ninth rank on the Beast God Continent, but evolution pills were only available as system rewards, and she only had three evolution pills, which was far from enough for them to share.
