Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

”Are you sure?”

The Artifact Spirit sneered.

No one knew Han Yu’s physical condition better than him.

This guy’s body was almost withered. To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for his strong physique, he might as well have been ready for burial.

”Do you know that your body was almost necrotic!”

The Artifact Spirit shook its head and sighed. It never expected Han Yu’s body could nearly be destroyed by the Dharma Aspect.

It seems he wasn’t entirely without weaknesses. Once his Life Force is drained, he would still die.

Very soon, it reacted again.

Who the hell can survive being completely drained of Life Force?

Besides, Han Yu was being drained from the inside defenselessly. If someone really had such a means, they might not necessarily be able to do anything to him.

Unless Han Yu foolishly stood there and let it happen.

Anyway, Han Yu’s physical condition at this moment was indeed at its worst.

This blue pill was something he had to take.

Han Yu asked with a pained expression, ”Could you at least say what this is first? You can’t just make someone take it out of the blue!”

At the very least, he would explain the pros and cons of Pills when he gave them to someone. These guys, however, completely disregarded any sense of fairness, not even offering an explanation.

”Naturally, it’s medicine to replenish your Life Force.”

Elder Luo from Nanli Sword Studio stepped forward to speak.

It was something the old folks from the Nine Sects had concocted back when they were pursuing longevity.

Although longevity could not be increased, replenishing Life Force was indeed sufficient.

It was also Han Yu’s good fortune to have encountered this group of longevity-research-loving old guys.

Otherwise, this situation would likely result in cluelessness.

Han Yu stared blankly at the wooden tub, not yet considering whether it would work.

But the amount... wasn’t this a bit excessive?

Isn’t this like eating pills as meals?

”You really do need that much.”

The Artifact Spirit sighed. Han Yu’s Life Force was too massive, making replenishment rather troublesome.

It wasn’t certain if this was enough to restore it.

”Start by taking these. If it’s not enough, more is being refined outside. I’ve even brought over those two pill-refining geniuses to see if they can create Pills to restore a large amount of Life Force for you.”

Quan Xiaotong slowly spoke on the side, naturally referring to Xiao Yan and Luo Fen.

He was thinking more profoundly. Han Yu’s technique was too powerful; not using it would be out of the question, so the side effects had to be countered indirectly.

What was a tricky side effect to the Artifact Spirit wasn’t much of an issue for Central Continent.

Compared to Han Yu’s fire and wood Dharma Aspect repeatedly breaking down his body, Quan Xiaotong preferred the Earth and Wood Dharma Aspect that could be remedied by Pills.

It was merely a matter of using up some Pills. If one sect’s wasn’t enough, then the Nine Sects; if even those weren’t enough, they would combine the forces of Central Continent to supply them.

And the amount needed for Han Yu’s replenishment was equally astonishing. He grimaced as he accepted the wooden tub from Ling Wuce, grabbing handfuls of pills and devouring them as if they were nothing.

In no time, the bottom of the wooden tub became visible, but Han Yu’s skin and flesh only slightly plumped up.

Ling Wuce was nervously running in and out, delivering steaming tubs of Pills back and forth.

Eventually, even the other sect leaders and elders from outside Central Continent couldn’t resist coming in to watch the spectacle.

It was impossible not to be curious. Considering the quality of those Pills, a few should have been enough to replenish a cultivator’s depletion. Yet several tubs had been brought in, and it still wasn’t enough?

Han Yu felt even more downcast, being watched while popping blue pills. It was an uncomfortable experience.

Finally, Xiao Yan and Luo Fen eased Han Yu’s suffering because these two actually managed to concoct a special pill for him.

A single pill could equal the explosive Life Force of a hundred pills, being nothing short of toxic in any situation.

According to Luo Fen, ”This thing absolutely can’t be allowed to spread. If a cultivator eats it, they’re bound to explode.”

Xiao Yan was even too embarrassed to name this pill. It was too unscrupulous, capable of taking life at any moment, too disgraceful.

Eventually, it was named by Quan Xiaotong, the Earth and Wood Pill, aptly named as it was intended for Han Yu’s use.

Han Yu consumed nearly twenty Earth and Wood Pills before his body’s Life Force was finally fully replenished.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, nearly becoming afraid of consuming pills.

He had always been the one coaxing others into taking pills; he didn’t expect it to be his turn for such consumption.

Truly a case of karma.

Just as Han Yu was internally complaining, the Artifact Spirit suddenly exclaimed in a flurry.

”Your Pills, quick...”

Han Yu was puzzled by its meaning, and the Artifact Spirit urged again repeatedly.

”You’ve been in the trial ground for four days, then you slept for three days afterward!”

Damn!

Han Yu’s face turned green with fright. He thought he’d just taken a nap in the trial ground, and another after coming out!

Seven days had already passed?

Doesn’t that mean his Pills in the Sea of Consciousness only have one day left?

What a disaster!

With this thought, he scrabbled to his feet, calling out to Quan Xiaotong.

”Quickly, gather everyone who wants to take pills.”

Watching his flustered state, Quan Xiaotong seemed to realize something and quickly called Ling Wuce to make arrangements outside.

There were too many things this time, and Han Yu hadn’t had a chance to check on the state of the Pills in his Sea of Consciousness. Thankfully, the Artifact Spirit reminded him; otherwise, he would have suffered a great loss.

Especially when Han Yu looked at the side effects of the two Pills, his face turned a ghastly green.

Star Summoning Spirit Pill: After consumption, the user’s spiritual power will transform, enabling them to invoke the power of the stars, granting unparalleled strength. Side effect: Each use of the star power will gradually crystallize the body, and after a thousand years, turn into a statue of the starry sky. Brand: ”Star Seizer, Solidify as Star!”

Five Elements Chaos Pill: Upon consumption, the user will gain the ability to reverse, allowing them to change others’ spirit roots and the attributes of all things for a short time. Side effect: The user’s spirit root will randomly become disordered daily. Brand: ”Heaven Reverser, Heaven also reverses you!”

What’s this?

Han Yu seemed to have discovered something extraordinary; these two Pills actually carried a brand.

Could it be that these two Pills are extremely potent?

Or perhaps...

Han Yu couldn’t help but glance at the Ping, finding it still standing unchanged in the Five Elements World.

He was utterly puzzled for a moment.

What on earth is this brand?

”It feels like a curse or perhaps an extension beyond the side effects.”

The Artifact Spirit lowered its head to think, propping its chin thoughtfully. Not to mention that Han Yu couldn’t understand, even it, an Artifact Spirit, couldn’t comprehend!

This Ping is up to some mischief again, with new tricks in the Pills, without considering the feelings of those who consume them.

It was one thing to consume a Pill with side effects, but now there’s an additional brand.

The people of the Central Continent were taken aback after hearing Han Yu’s explanation.

The side effects of these two Pills were quite frightening! Especially the first one, if used frequently, who knows, a thousand years later, one might just ascend to become a star.

”No, if one could truly transform into a star after a thousand years, that would mean Central Continent has already overcome its crisis.”

A certain Sect Leader suddenly spoke with deep meaning.

If Central Continent couldn’t survive, don’t even mention a thousand years, surviving the next hundred years would be a challenge.

So the first Pill, as long as one isn’t afraid of death, would definitely be a tremendous boost.

The second one, reversal!

Reversing the attributes of all things and others’ spirit roots for a short time.

The reversal of others’ spirit roots is understandable, as Han Yu has previously provided Pills that reverse spirit roots.

In the Cultivator Realm, it’s common knowledge that once a cultivation technique does not match the spirit root, things become incredibly weak.

In the short term, it can serve to weaken the opponent.

As for reversal of all things’ attributes, a group of people speculated wildly about what could be reversed.

Quan Xiaotong, seemingly having a thought, tentatively asked, ”Could it even reverse the opponent’s attack?”

If that were true, it would indeed be terrifying.

When the opponent attacked fiercely, in the blink of an eye, you could convert it into another attribute, even reversing the spiritual power into something soft and powerless.

”I’ll take the first one.”

Unexpectedly, the person who stepped forward to claim the most severe Pill was none other than Unparalleled Tower Sect Leader Bian Renjie.

Bian Renjie smiled faintly, taking the Pill and swallowing it with a tilt of his head, ”If I am fortunate enough to live a thousand years, I will watch over you from the heavens then.”

”I’ll take the second one.”

The Palace Master of Dragon and Phoenix Palace, an elderly man with childlike features, slowly stepped forward.

”I find this idea of reversal quite compatible with me.”

The essence of dragons and phoenixes is not adept in slaughter, and with such a Pill now, possessing a greatly diminishing capability complements well.

Others might have some reservations, as the daily disorder of spirit roots indirectly restricts themselves as well.

He does not have such worries, and the concept of reversal seems to have some potential, with possibly other paths to explore.

The power of the stars indeed replaced spiritual power within Bian Renjie, and during operation, there was even a virtual image of stars behind him, his power more than ten times greater than before.

To add to that, Bian Renjie looked up at the sky with a complex expression, speaking strangely, ”I seem to actually be able to summon some small meteors from the sky to strike my enemies.”

This statement left everyone present utterly shocked.

With so many meteors in the sky, does this mean Bian Renjie could hurl them down at will?

”No, I can feel that only the smaller ones can be pulled.”

As for how small—they were roughly several miles in size.

Several miles?

Everyone collectively drew a cold breath—several miles is small? How many lives would be lost if that fell?

If it truly fell, the destructive power generated would exceed a mere few miles.

”But I dare not use it carelessly; the consumption of star power is too significant. If used frequently, I might ascend personally to replenish before a thousand years.”

Bian Renjie chuckled wryly; hence he certainly couldn’t demonstrate this move.

No one dared to ask for a demonstration either, as it could easily cost Bian Renjie’s life and perhaps theirs in the process.

The second Pill, however, was easy to demonstrate. The Dragon and Phoenix Palace Master instantly transformed a rock-hard boulder into something soft, like dough.

He could even convert the attacks of cultivators within the same Realm into a gentle breeze.

The only drawback was the low conversion efficiency; once there were many people, he might not handle it with ease.

But reversing spirit roots compensated for this flaw. Any cultivator he touched would have their spirit root quickly reversed into a corresponding countering attribute.

It greatly limited the opponent’s ability, and the effect could last for a two-hour period.

This was truly frightening; given a favorable environment, he could even turn a group of dragons into a group of worms.
