Chapter 66: Pill poison

Faced with Dave’s question, Miuna took a glance at Julia, then said to Dave, “Uncle Dave, before I surprise you with what I’m about to tell you, how about you first take a look at Julia’s current cultivation level?”

“Hmm?”

Upon hearing what Miuna said, Dave couldn’t help but raise his brows and let out a groan, then listened to what Miuna told him to do and took a look at Julia’s current cultivation level by using his spiritual sense.

“Hmm…?” However, unexpected to what Miuna had expected to happen, whereby Dave would have a pleasantly surprised look on his face upon finding out about Julia’s current cultivation level, Dave could be seen having a huge frown appearing on his face right as he sensed that Julia’s cultivation level was actually at level 4 of energy refining realm.

Shortly after, Dave looked over to Julia and said with a grave tone to his voice as he gestured with his right hand for Julia to walk over to him, “Julia, come over here.”

Although both Julia and Miuna didn’t understand why Dave suddenly become so solemn, despite the fact that it was evidently a good thing that Julia had managed to level up her cultivation level all the way from level 1 of energy refining realm to level 4 of energy refining realm…

Upon seeing that Dave was beckoning Julia to walk over to him and stand in front of him, Miuna hurriedly pat onto Julia’s back and said hurriedly, “What are you being in a daze for! Go on, Uncle Dave is calling out for you!”

“Ah…! Sor… sorry!” Upon coming back to her senses, Julia hurriedly walked over to the front of Dave.

“Stay still and don’t move, understand?”

And right as Julia arrived in front of Dave, Dave immediately placed his right hand on top of Julia’s head and began revolving his spiritual energy into Julia’s body, so that he could thoroughly sense what was actually going on within Julia’s body.

As time passed by, Dave’s expression could be seen turning from a deep frown to a slightly confused look, and in the end, an extremely confused yet surprised look.

“There isn’t any pill poison within your body at all…? Julia, how did you manage to level your cultivation level without using any cultivation pills?”

Shortly after removing his right hand away from Julia’s head, Dave asked with an extremely curious and confused look on his face.

Initially, when Dave sensed that Julia’s cultivation level was actually at level 4 of energy refining realm, he immediately thought that the reason that Julia had managed to break through multiple levels of her cultivation realm was due to using a huge number of cultivation pills and bottleneck breakthrough pills.

However, when he did a thorough check onto Julia’s meridians and spiritual energy, he found out that there actually wasn’t any pill poison within Julia’s meridians and spiritual energy, which meant that Julia evidently didn’t use any cultivation pills or bottleneck breakthrough pills to breakthrough multiple levels of her cultivation level.

…

In this Cultivation World, it didn’t matter what kind of medicinal herb it was, there was a certain amount of poison in every medicinal herb.

It was an alchemist’s job to remove as much poison as they possibly could from the medicinal herbs during their pill concoction sessions.

Steps from heating up the medicinal herbs, liquifying the medicinal herbs, to congregating the liquid forms into pills…

All those steps were crucial in removing the medicinal herbs’ poison as much as one possibly could.

The poison that was contained within a pill was usually called “pill poison” by the cultivators of this world.

After taking in a pill that contained pill poison within it, to prevent their foundation from being damaged, a cultivator would later on have to spend time to dispel the pill poison out of their body.

After all, when pill poison was accumulated to a certain point within a cultivator’s body, the pill poison would begin to severely damage the cultivator’s foundation.

However, most of the time, even after a cultivator had dispelled all of the pill poison out from their body, the pill poison would still have already did a bit of damage to their foundation.

Thus, take a cultivator who possesses the worst aptitude possible for example…

If a cultivator who possesses a lower-quality spiritual root were to take a huge amount of cultivation pills and bottleneck breakthrough pills for the sake of breaking through their cultivation levels…

It was definite that the cultivator’s aptitude would become severely damaged by the pill poison, and in the future, it was very unlikely that the cultivator would be able to have any sort of chance to break through to foundation establishment realm.

This was why Dave had such a grave look on his face upon finding out that Julia’s cultivation level had level-ed from level 1 to level 4.

After all, he thought that Julia didn’t listen to his advice to not use cultivation pills or bottleneck breakthrough pills, and had actually used a huge amount of cultivation pills and bottleneck breakthrough pills to go from level 1 of energy refining realm to level 4 of energy refining realm.

However, the fact that there wasn’t any pill poison within Julia’s body, and Julia’s foundation didn’t seem to be damaged… It was evident that Julia didn’t use any cultivation pills.

…

Faced with Dave’s question, a proud look immediately appeared on Julia’s face as she said proudly, “Uncle Dave, it’s all thanks to Sebastian that I was able to level up from level 1 to level 4 of energy refining realm!”

“Sebastian…? What could he have possibly done to…”

Before Dave was even able to finish his sentence, Julia who was evidently very excited to show off her husband to Dave immediately opened her mouth and said excitedly, “Uncle Dave! You know, Sebastian actually awakened a special body that is known as the sperm strengthening body!”

Shortly after Julia had finished speaking, a stupefied look could be seen appearing on Dave’s face, and after a few seconds of being stunned, Dave’s eyes could be seen opening extremely wide, followed by him asking loudly while with his voice trembling, “What… what did you just say?!”
