Chapter 008: The Ultimate Pill

Pfft!

Chu Shifei is dead.

Even with his head rolling on the ground, he still wore a crazed and mocking smile on his face.

In the end, he finally let out a raging curse, venting all his fear.

Chu Ling wiped the tears from her eyes and walked out with her sword.

Outside, Zeng Shuiyue and the guards stared in shock at Chu Ling, who was completely charred, their expressions shifting dramatically.

“Chu Ling, why are you the one coming out!”

Zeng Shuiyue’s voice suddenly turned sharp.

“Pfft!”

Her mouth was pierced by the Magic Sword on the spot.

“You all know I’m the one who sacrifices the sword?” Chu Ling’s gaze was filled with killing intent as she stared at all the guards.

The group of guards remained silent.

“Where’s Chu Si?”

In that moment, Chu Ling finally realized why Chu Si, who had watched her grow up, wanted to drive her away as soon as she returned.

How could he not recognize Chu Ling?

He knew that Chu Sword Mountain was a hell for her and never wished for her to come back.

Regret gnawed at his heart like a venomous bug.

Chu Ling moved!

In an instant, the sound of cries echoed.

The entire Chu Sword Mountain turned into a hellscape.

She got her answer: Chu Si was dead, her biological parents were dead, and all her friends were dead.

Kill, kill, kill!

Wipe him out completely, leave not a single trace behind.

In the end, there wasn’t a single living being left in the entire Chu Sword Mountain.

Even the dogs and chickens were slaughtered.

Chu Ling climbed onto a rooftop, the same rooftop where Lu Ye had brought her back, standing right there.

Back then, Lu Ye had said, “You deserve it!”

Chu Ling began to cry, sobbing uncontrollably.

She deserved it!

She absolutely deserved it!

…

“Alright, that’s enough watching.”

Lu Ye waved his hand, and the light curtain dissipated. Chu Ling had already obtained everything she wanted.

Soon, a Breaking Embryo Realm expert would be coming to kill her.

At her current state, she would die.

He felt a strange thrill creeping in, leaving Lu Ye momentarily silent.

Oh no, I think I’ve become a bit different than before.

In his previous life, even if Chu Ling did something to harm him, seeing her suffer would either pinch his heart or leave him indifferent.

But now it felt so satisfying?

Lu Ye slapped his head; satisfying? Yes, that’s right!

After dying once on Earth and dying nine times in his previous life, that adds up to ten times.

Becoming a weirdo after dying ten times doesn’t seem like such a big deal.

“She got what she wanted, but what about Yue Hongling? What kind of Yuan Dan did she condense?” Lu Ye was simply curious.

His Yuan Dan, which was described as a Sacred Dan, ended up being even more exaggerated in quality because he relied on half of his true energy to condense it, and after condensing the Yuan Dan, the power of Heavenly Zombie Poison vanished.

The other half of his true energy surged into the Sacred Dan,

Hmm, he raised the quality of the Yuan Dan by half a rank again.

Cultivating, cultivating, Yue Hongling could condense whatever Yuan Dan she wanted, it wasn’t his concern.

Yue Hongling had already entered closed-door cultivation.

She took this pill refinement very seriously because she hadn’t acquired a perfect Returning Yuan Dan.

Whether she could become a Sacred Dan depended on this attempt!

“Gather!”

Yue Hongling called out sweetly.

The true energy around her surged like tidal waves towards her dantian, as the various pills she had prepared lent their power, with treasures around her releasing their might.

Hmm…

How to put it!

This method of assisting breakthroughs actually originated from Lu Ye.

Because Yue Hongling’s aptitude wasn’t quite enough, to help her keep pace with the others, Lu Ye would expend effort to gather many treasures to assist her, ensuring that every breakthrough could achieve a perfect or near-perfect standard.

However, Lu Ye was using treasures and pills for assistance because he had the System!

Each time he used these treasures and pills, he would perform countless simulations to adjust them precisely, ending in an infallible outcome.

So Yue Hongling thought that as long as she prepared enough, her breakthrough would be perfect???

The breakthrough began.

True energy congregated, the surging and thick true energy was evidently capable of condensing a very good Yuan Dan.

At that moment, a surge of medicinal power rushed in.

The flow of true energy suddenly sped up.

Another wave of medicinal power surged in, and the total amount of true energy skyrocketed.

Yet another wave of medicinal power crashed in, hastening the condensation process.

Once again, a wave of medicinal power came in…

Yue Hongling frowned, her fair cheeks flushed uncharacteristically red.

Her complexion changed slightly, and she hurriedly sealed her hands!

It was chaotic! Utterly chaotic!

Everything was a mess!

Yue Hongling was in a panic. Something was off, why was this happening?

In her previous life, with the assistance of many treasures and pills, her breakthroughs felt effortless, breaking through one hurdle after another in quick succession.

Until the breakthrough was complete, all assistance vanished without burden.

But Yue Hongling still managed to become a Great Emperor, though mistakes had been made, she had forced all assistance out.

“Pfft!”

She spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Yue Hongling’s face turned ashen, but she didn’t dare linger, quickly sealing her Dan.

Without the chaotic forces messing around, this time the Dan condensing went incredibly smoothly.

The final Yuan Dan she condensed was… a Heavenly Dan!

“How could it be a Heavenly Dan!” Yue Hongling was nearly enraged to the point of exploding.

In fact, the Heavenly Dan was also an exceptional Yuan Dan; ninety-nine point nine percent of people in the world condensed Star-grade Yuan Dans, only one in every million could condense Earth-grade, and only one in a billion could condense a Heavenly Dan.

The kicker was that in her previous life, with no understanding of anything, she had still managed to condense a Sacred Dan.

Now, with her previous life’s memories and having been a Great Emperor, she ended up with a Heavenly Dan!

How could that not infuriate Yue Hongling?

“It’s all Lu Ye’s fault! If it weren’t for him constantly using treasures and pills to assist my breakthroughs, I could have just taken the simplest perfect Returning Yuan Dan and condensed a Sacred Dan!”

Yue Hongling said furiously.

What she said was indeed true; with her experiences as a Great Emperor, even without a perfect Returning Yuan Dan, she could still condense a Sacred Dan.

The key was that using a slew of mixed treasures and pills backfired, causing her to drop from a Sacred Dan to a Heavenly Dan.

One could only say, with every action, heaven has its own plans.

She immediately set off to find Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was in the middle of continuous, unrelenting cultivation.

Every day, his strength grew, progressing unceasingly towards the Breaking Embryo Realm.

To him now, having eight women in trouble might be entertaining, but ultimately, he aimed to return to his peak, stronger than ever, to witness the vistas he had missed in his previous life.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

“Lu Ye, come out!”

Lu Ye didn’t even furrow his brow, staying in his cultivated state.

Should Yue Hongling dare to burst in again, he would deal with her harshly.

To hell with it, whoever wants to come, let them!

“Lu Ye, why did my use of treasures and pills for assistance lead to me condensing a Heavenly Dan? Before, I could achieve a perfect breakthrough with assistance!”

“Lu Ye, did you do this on purpose?”

“I could condense a Sacred Dan without using treasures or pills, you’re definitely doing this on purpose!”

“You’re truly a small-minded person! A thoroughgoing little man!”

“I really used to be…”
