Chapter 47: Chapter 46: Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill

“I’m truly damned!” Chu Huaixu began to reproach himself.

Before this, he had nothing but disdain for that old eccentric.

In front of the stone table, the two of them looked at the vigorous characters on the scroll, feeling somewhat lost.

Both Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang could sense the aura of this ancient predecessor!

“Surely the path of cultivation for this predecessor was not easy.” Han Shuangjiang remarked with emotion.

She also began to gradually understand why she, with her Super Grade Spiritual Embryo, couldn’t use the Spirit Plate to open this Stone Gate.

Because the predecessor named Lei Wenyan intended to leave the treasures within the Secret Realm to descendants lacking innate talent!

The Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill is an incredibly precious Seventh Level Spirit Pill.

For an ordinary cultivator, it’s a life-saving elixir.

If the foundation of the Spiritual Embryo is destroyed, at best there would be no progress in this life, much like Liu Chengqi.

At worst, the cultivation could fall, reducing one’s lifespan, and even putting their life in jeopardy.

With such a Spirit Pill in hand, it’s like having an extra layer of protection.

But for cultivators lacking innate talent, the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill can really defy heaven to change one’s fate.

What Lei Wenyan meant by “granting you a blessing” is no exaggeration!

Looking at the Spirit Pill Treasure Box and the scroll, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but recite a frequently quoted phrase from the internet:

“Because he himself has been drenched, he knows to hold an umbrella for others.”

With a mere Third Level Low Grade Spiritual Embryo, to reach the Realm of the Great Cultivator, one can only imagine the hardships endured.

Han Shuangjiang heard this phrase for the first time and, after a moment of surprise, nodded deeply.

She thought it through and said aloud, “Moreover, the tests set by Elder Lei have profound meaning.”

“He doesn’t just give the Spirit Pill to anyone with a Low Grade Spiritual Embryo.”

This might sound like an obvious statement.

But in reality, if you can endure hardship, you will encounter endless hardships.

For those without a firm Dao heart, even possessing the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill, what good would it do?

Indeed, it can raise your upper limits, but it doesn’t mean you will leap to become a heavenly talent; its enhancement has its limits.

However, for those with a steadfast Dao heart, this predecessor adds a touch of sweetness to the arduous path of cultivation ahead.

He uses himself as an example to show that even a Third Level Low Grade Spiritual Embryo can become a Great Cultivator.

His gift to you is to make the road ahead a little easier.

Lei Wenyan is both the guide ahead of you and the protector on your path.

Chu Huaixu, having just traversed to this world, had not yet fully adapted.

Therefore, there wasn’t the scene of a disciple giving thanks.

But he was still quite moved in his heart.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his ears.

“[Ding! The hidden dungeon [Pill King Token] has been cleared.]”

“[Calculating rewards…]”

“[Congratulations, you’ve gained 1000 points of free experience and a Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill *1.]”

Cultivation isn’t done in isolation; many cultivators enter the Secret Realm, pass numerous tests, and gain insights, thereby achieving breakthroughs.

After the dungeon ends, system rewards of experience points follow the same logic.

Clearly, the highlight of this hidden dungeon is the extremely valuable Upper Grade Spirit Pill.

So, the experience points given aren’t particularly high.

“Fortunately, through a lucky fluke, due to the special nature of the “Refining Sword Formulas”, I also gained over 2000 points of Cultivation Technique Experience during the medicinal bath.” Chu Huaixu was quite satisfied.

To be honest, his collaboration with Han Shuangjiang in this dungeon was overall very smooth.

But the root reason was because… both had cheated!

Two players with cheats would naturally fare smoothly.

If anyone said the dungeon wasn’t hard, they should look at those still stuck outside or already kicked out.

At this moment, Han Shuangjiang looked at Chu Huaixu and asked, “What should we do now?”

There was no way forward; to leave here seemed they needed to retrace their steps.

Glancing at the Spirit Pill Treasure Box, Chu Huaixu pondered for a moment and said, “Would you be willing to guard me?”

“You plan to take the Spirit Pill now?” Han Shuangjiang asked.

“Yes.” Chu Huaixu gestured to the Stone Gate, “I’ve taken the Spirit Plate, meaning the key is gone, and others can’t come in unless exceptionally strong to forcibly break this array.”

“For me, this is probably the best place for a closed-door cultivation.”

“Since it’s a Seventh Level Spirit Pill, to avoid any unforeseen events, it’s best to take it straight away!” His eyes sharpened.

Han Shuangjiang nodded and said directly, “Alright.”

Chu Huaixu then found a spot, sat cross-legged.

He took out the dragon-eye-sized Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill from the Spirit Pill Treasure Box, lamenting inside, “Such a big pill, wouldn’t it get stuck in the throat if swallowed?”

Yet, the Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill melted immediately upon entering the mouth.

While playing “Borrowed Sword” before, he had never experienced this.

A warm current began to generate within, flowing into every part of his body.

Han Shuangjiang watched him silently from the side, noticing that Chu Huaixu’s body rapidly turned red-hot, visible to the naked eye.

Already soaked, vapor now emanated from his skin.

“How hot must it be?” She thought to herself, worried but dared not touch him.

Chu Huaixu closed his eyes, sensing the changes within.

He noticed that his black Heart Sword in the Sea of Consciousness, previously lifeless, seemed to become… lively?

…

…

By the Cold Pool, Liu Tianfeng and Niu Yuanshan were playing chess.

The two had been engaged in multiple matches to pass the time.

Out of ten who had entered the Secret Realm, six had already been expelled by the array and stood cautiously beside the Lord Stewards.

Among them was Junior Sister Chen, Liu Chengqi’s former lover who had been unfaithful.

These unfortunate ones didn’t even pass the first maze stage and were kicked out because they exceeded the time limit.

Thus, when Liu Tianfeng inquired, they were clueless about the tests beyond.

Now, holding a black piece, Niu Yuanshan looked at Liu Tianfeng after making a move, saying, “Brother Liu, your mind is unsettled.”

With more of his trusted aides being expelled from the Secret Realm, Liu Tianfeng made blunder after blunder while playing chess.

Niu Yuanshan, however, remained unperturbed, as Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang were still undergoing trials in the Secret Realm.

“Enough with the game!” Liu Tianfeng frowned, losing interest.

Initially, there were eight against two; now, with six fools unable to pass the first stage, it was two against two in the Secret Realm!

As for the internal situation, he had no clue and could only pray inwardly, “My son must pass the trial.”

“I hope there’s truly a Profound Celestial Fetal Breath Pill in there!”

Since the key to the Secret Realm entrance was the [Pill King Token], it hinted that the relics within were likely related to elixirs.

Liu Tianfeng had a son late in life; Liu Chengqi, being a Blazing Fire Spiritual Embryo, was named for his aspirations for his son.

“Since the damage to his spiritual embryo, Qi’er has been dejected, his demeanor changed entirely.”

“Heavens and ancestors bless him; Daoist predecessors watch over him.”

Niu Yuanshan, seeing that Liu Tianfeng refused to continue the game, was speechless, especially since he was about to win this round.

Yet, he, amiable and mild-mannered, passed it off with a smile.

Even if he wasn’t inherently good-natured, wearing the mask of kindness for so long made it inseparable.

The deputy captain of the Law Enforcement Team, Liu Chenggong, quickly served tea to his uncle and Steward Niu.

He comforted, saying, “Uncle, there’s no need for concern. Cousin is early-matured and will surely break through!”

In his eyes, his cousin was indeed precocious. While still interested in young maidens at his age, his cousin had already fancied others’ partners and older women years ago.

Liu Tianfeng, hearing this, nodded slowly, knowing that impatience was futile.

He resembled a parent waiting outside as his child took the college entrance exam.

Time passed and another was expelled from the Secret Realm, sinking into the Cold Pool.

Without the Water-Repelling Bead, they might have choked on water.

As this registered disciple resurfaced, Liu Tianfeng’s expression grew darker.

“Meng Xiaodong, you got out so quickly!” He glared angrily.

Among the assistants arranged for his son, he placed most of his hopes on him.

Truthfully, Meng Xiaodong was the quickest through the maze but got stuck in the Illusion Realm.

Time expired, and he was eliminated.

Liu Chenggong quickly stepped forward to soothe him, “Uncle, don’t be angry. Cousin is still inside.”

“But that Chu…” Liu Tianfeng glanced at Niu Yuanshan, ultimately choosing silence.

Fortunately, from the registered disciples’ descriptions, it seemed the Secret Realm was a solo battle, each entering a separate chamber.

“This means Qi’er shouldn’t face a two-on-one situation,” Liu Tianfeng mused.

Yet, in the next moment, a mysterious aura began to emanate from the Cold Pool, spreading in all directions.

The sword strapped to Liu Chenggong’s back started trembling uncontrollably.
