I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 270: Power of the Elixir

The Quiet Chamber was utterly silent.

Zhang Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes tightly shut, motionless like a petrified statue.

However, the room’s temperature was rising rapidly, with scorching heat continuously emanating from Zhang Yuan’s body, filling the chamber and forming an invisible storm!

Yet, as the eye of the storm, Zhang Yuan was completely oblivious to it.

He was fully immersed in practicing the "Primordial Celestial Spirit True Method," doing his utmost to digest and absorb the power of the Yunyang Pill.

With the support of the elixir’s power, Zhang Yuan’s speed and efficiency in converting Innate True Qi to Primordial True Qi increased more than tenfold compared to before.

If possible, he would wish to continue cultivating like this forever!

Of course, the power of a Yunyang Pill is ultimately limited.

After the initial burst, the assistance the pill offered Zhang Yuan began to weaken gradually.

Until it completely dissipated.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan abruptly opened his eyes.

Once pitch-black, his eyes had turned crimson, like two burning flames!

A moment later, they returned to normal.

He exhaled deeply.

Feeling insatiable, he even felt the urge to take another Yunyang Pill.

It should be known that the recently digested Yunyang Pill allowed Zhang Yuan to cultivate an amount of Primordial True Qi that exceeded his previous total!

The effect of high-grade pills was truly remarkable.

This is why disciples of the major sects and noble families cultivate much faster than common martial artists with similar talent.

The resources they can obtain are unimaginable to ordinary people!

But despite the benefits, elixirs cannot be consumed without limit.

After all, medicine is three parts poison, and elixirs are no exception.

Xuan Cheng specially left Zhang Yuan a "manual," instructing him on the correct use of elixirs.

Including related taboos.

Zhang Yuan, of course, trusted the mage and forcibly suppressed his urge.

Nevertheless, with the powerful aid of the Yunyang Pill, Zhang Yuan confidently believed that within a month, he could convert all the Innate True Qi in his Dantian into Primordial Celestial Gang True Qi.

And officially step onto the threshold of this cultivation technique!

He closed his eyes again, beginning to harmonize his Qi Blood to consolidate his newly gained accomplishments.

Martial arts cultivation is just that dull and tedious.

It requires long-term perseverance.

Meanwhile, outside, the weather grew colder by the day, with snow falling intermittently, continuing for several days without end.

As if it would never stop.

In the courtyard, the snow, left uncleared, had piled up to almost half a person’s height.

This day, Zhang Yuan ended his cultivation and left the Quiet Chamber to take a look outside.

Opening the door, he was immediately blocked by a thick wall of snow!

To be honest, such heavy snow was a first for him in both his current and previous life.

Even last year, when he spent the winter in the Ruins City, it wasn’t this exaggerated!

Zhang Yuan shook his head and immediately swung his palms at the snow wall in front of him.

The Primordial True Qi stored in his Dantian surged along his meridians, flowing through his arms into his palms.

In an instant, it burst forth!

Boom!

The snow wall in front exploded suddenly, countless snowflakes spraying and splattering, swiftly melting in the scorching heat.

Turning into droplets, falling to the ground!

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan’s front was cleared of snow, his palm power radiating over thirty paces,

very close to the main gate!

Moreover, the might of the Primordial Celestial Gang True Qi hadn’t fully dissipated, continuing to melt the surrounding snow.

The snow in front of the main house directly vaporized, turning into a large amount of white mist rising up.

The scene was spectacular!

Zhang Yuan withdrew his palms, feeling exhilarated.

Effort begets reward.

His efforts had not been in vain, and with his strength enhanced once more, he naturally felt delighted.

In the heat of the moment, Zhang Yuan leaped into the courtyard.

And began practicing the Thunderous Wave Palm.

Although the Thunderous Wave Palm was an Entering Force-level martial art, its power surged dramatically with the infusion of Primordial Celestial Gang True Qi.

The mighty and fierce Palm Force swept through the falling snow, the scorching breath unleashing a fiery storm in the courtyard.

In the brief span of half a cup of tea, all the snow in the courtyard disappeared.

The ground became spotlessly clean!

"Hurry, hurry, if we’re late, the rice shop will close again!"

"Stop urging, I can’t run anymore."

"Sigh, I wonder how much rice costs now, has it gone up again?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"It’s hard to say, those damned profiteers!"

Suddenly, the murmured discussions accompanied by hurried footsteps from the street outside reached Zhang Yuan’s ears.

His mind stirred, and he immediately shifted to the Red-eyed Crow’s perspective.

During Zhang Yuan’s closed-door cultivation, the Red-eyed Crow perched on the courtyard’s large tree, monitoring the movements in and around the residence.

Guarding against enemy appearances.

This basic Profound Spirit was the best sentry and scout.

At this time, Zhang Yuan "saw" many people appearing in the streets and alleys outside, holding empty bags, rushing toward the nearby rice shop.

This scene left him somewhat surprised.

Typically, the residents of Ruins City would store enough grain and firewood before winter.

Though rice shops also opened during winter, business was usually at its coldest.

After all, few would brave the cold wind and trudge through snow to buy rice daily.

Yet the current scene was clearly different from last year.

Zhang Yuan hadn’t seen anything like this last year!

The rice shop’s front was already crowded, clamor echoing two streets away.

Despite the Red-eyed Crow’s distance from the rice shop, Zhang Yuan could hear clearly and quickly understood the situation.

Everyone was saying that this winter was not only colder than last year but also expected to last longer.

In the past half-month, rice prices in the city had been rising.

Today’s price was more than double that before winter!

Once the news spread, people couldn’t help but panic, thus surging to buy.

People feared their stored grains wouldn’t last, and they wouldn’t be able to afford more after consuming them.

Yet at this moment, a clerk from the rice shop ran out, shouting loudly: "No more sales, all the rice inside has been sold out!"

At this point, the crowd outside erupted!

They had all come to buy rice, willing to endure the price surge if it meant avoiding hunger.

But the rice shop claimed they were out?

The people’s emotions exploded instantly.

"Impossible!"

"This is a profiteer’s trick, hoarding for profit!"

"They just want to hike the price more!"

"Too outrageous!"

Unbeknownst to anyone, someone first laid hands on the rice shop clerk, pushing them hard to the ground.

The clerks inside, seeing the situation turn sour, didn’t bother rescuing their companion and hurried to close the main door.

However, the crowd surged forward, and a riot was on the brink of erupting.

"Get lost!"

At that moment, dozens of men wielding sticks charged in from the side of the street.

They furiously stormed into the crowd, striking with their sticks, toppling many in the blink of an eye.

The remaining people saw the situation turn bad and scattered hurriedly.

A chaos was swiftly quelled!
