At these words, Yan Chen, Han Yu, and the others looked at Zhong Ming, their gazes instantly filled with envy and jealousy.

They understood full well what it meant to be able to ignore Erysipelas and consume unlimited Elixir Pills.

And just as the group was simmering in silent envy, Yi Yunya lightly covered her lips. With a smile in her voice, she said something that instantly changed everything, transforming their jealousy into fervent anticipation:

"Oh, right. Senior Brother once told me that his cultivation level is still too low, so he can only use his ability to clear Erysipelas on himself. But once he grows stronger, he’ll be able to clear out the residual poison that has accumulated in my body."

"Is that really true?!"

The moment Yi Yunya spoke, a sharp glint appeared in the eyes of Han Yu, Su Lingya, and even the usually composed Yan Chen, and they all began to press her for answers at once.

"Hee hee..." Their exclamations made Yi Yunya’s eyes curve into crescents as her smile grew even warmer. "Of course it’s true. Senior Brother would never lie to me. Besides, he comprehended this Magic Technique all on his own. If he can use it on himself, he can naturally use it on others."

Yan Chen and the others naturally understood this logic, which made them all the more excited.

You couldn’t blame them for reacting this way. After all, if Zhong Ming’s ability to clear residual poison could be used on Yi Yunya, it could naturally be used on them as well.

In this way, they had, in a sense, also gained the ability to consume unlimited Elixir Pills.

It also meant that their cultivation speed would advance by leaps and bounds.

Of course, they were also aware that Zhong Ming’s help would not come for free.

But they weren’t afraid of paying a price. They were only afraid they might not even get the opportunity to do so.

The fervent light in their eyes made Yi Yunya nod in satisfaction. She turned to look at Zhong Ming, meditating with his eyes closed in the bamboo forest, and her own eyes filled with tenderness. ’Senior Brother, you just focus on your cultivation. You can leave all the other trivial matters to me.’

...

BOOM!

Cuixiang Mountain’s Alchemy techniques were quite impressive, and the pills the Sect Leader had given Zhong Ming were even more so, having been personally refined by a Peak Master of Cuixiang Mountain.

As a result, the Elixir Pills in the Medicine Gourd had gentle and mellow medicinal properties, making them extremely easy for a Cultivator to absorb.

However, even the gentlest medicinal properties couldn’t handle the way Zhong Ming treated them like candy, swallowing a dozen or so in one gulp. The immense medicinal power exploded within his body, making his meridians throb with a faint, painful pressure.

Fortunately, Zhong Ming had Qi Circulation, the Dao Rhyme - Flow of Water, and the Longxi Magical Robe.

Qi Circulation made his Magical Power flow like a stream, and it had long since spread throughout his entire body.

The Dao Rhyme - Flow of Water allowed his Magical Power to envelop the violent medicinal energy, guiding it to circulate in an orderly fashion through his meridians and preventing it from dissipating uncontrollably.

Finally, there was the Longxi Magical Robe. If any excess medicinal power overflowed, the robe would employ the Jie Technique to divert it into the Spiritual Water flowing across its surface. After some of the power inside his body was refined, it would then be slowly channeled back into his meridians.

Thanks to this exquisite coordination, Zhong Ming managed to prevent the medicinal power from dissipating. The only incongruous result was that the Longxi Magical Robe, having absorbed too much life force from the plant-based Spiritual Medicine, had changed from its original appearance of swirling white mist to a vibrant, verdant green.

’Elegant and unique. Not bad at all.’

Although Zhong Ming’s method of swallowing large quantities of Elixir Pills was crude, it had to be said that this way of refining their medicinal power was unbelievably fast.

In a very short time, Zhong Ming’s Magical Power had surged dramatically.

After making a quick estimate, he was pleasantly surprised to realize, ’At this rate, I’ll break through to the late stage of Qi Cultivation by tomorrow!’

’So fast!’

The sheer speed of it shocked even Zhong Ming himself, making him truly understand the terrifying power of consuming unlimited Elixir Pills.

Of course, Zhong Ming also knew that he was the only one who could achieve such a swift breakthrough.

’For Cultivators whose Spiritual Roots have reached the second grade, the bottleneck to advancing has never been the accumulation of Magical Power, but the advancement of their Cultivation Method Realm!’
