“Mentor, don’t you want to enter the Twelve Golden Halls?” Luo Feng did not take the Spirit-nurturing Pill back.
Ji Wuyue smiled bitterly. “Making it to the Twelve Golden Halls and then entering a martial arts shrine is every martial artist’s dream, how am I an exception? But this Spirit-nurturing Pill is too valuable, I…”
“If that’s the case, you must accept it…” Luo Feng waved his hand to cut Ji Wuyue off.
She was startled. “Why?”
“Mentor, you know about the conflict between Duanmu Yu and me, right?”
Ji Wuyue nodded.
The matter between Luo Feng, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Duanmu Yu became a hot topic in Silver Moon Class, thus it was natural that she had heard of it.
“What does that have to do with me?” Ji Wuyue was confused.
“Of course it has something to do with you.”
Luo Feng grinned and explained, “Duanmu Yu’s uncle is an elder in the Twelve Golden Halls. In terms of family background, I’m nothing compared to him even if I were to fawn on him. If you can enter the Twelve Golden Halls, I’ll have support in the future, so you must accept this Spirit-nurturing Pill, you’re my only support.”
Ji Wuyue was amused, she smiled with her lips pursed. “I’m not as powerful as you say I am…”
Nevertheless, she knew that she could not reject Luo Feng’s offer. She held the Spirit-nurturing Pill tightly as she said to him, “Luo Feng, I’ll remember your kindness.”
Luo Feng laughed out loud. “You must make it to a Golden Hall then, or it won’t be easy for you to repay my kindness.”
The atmosphere loosened up when Luo Feng joked.
On the other hand, Bing Ruolan was absent-minded when she stared at Luo Feng with her sapphire eyes.
‘What kind of person is he…’
Bing Ruolan felt that Luo Feng became more imperceptible the more she spent time with him.
While he was around her age, his actions were always unpredictable.
Martial artists in Heroic Boundary could channel vitality once they advanced to Essence Boundary, resulting in a huge leap in strength.
However, it was extremely difficult to advance from Heroic Boundary’s peak to Essence Boundary! Countless martial artists were permanently stuck at Heroic Boundary because they failed to break through the barrier.
A Spirit-nurturing Pill was a valuable spirit medicine that could assist martial artists in Level Six Meridian Cycle Boundary’s peak to advance through their bottlenecks. The Grade Three spirit medicine would certainly start a bloody war once brought to the secular world as many forces would fight for it.
In spite of that, Luo Feng gave the precious pill away without any hesitation!
Bing Ruolan did not buy Luo Feng’s lame excuse at all.
Once they settled the drug, Luo Feng and Bing Ruolan left Ji Wuyue’s courtyard so that she could rest.
Since Bing Ruolan wanted to prepare for the Inner Institution Assessment, and Luo Feng was concerned about the Jade Iron Juice, they split ways.
Luo Feng returned to his courtyard. He was deep in thought again when he thought about Ji Wuyue’s wounds.
“Who attacked Mentor…”
The attacker was definitely not going after Ji Wuyue’s money since he did not threaten her, he only wanted her life. If that was the case, the attacker must have an irreconcilable hatred for Ji Wuyue.
“Could it be Li Yuanhao?”
A name came to Luo Feng’s mind, but he quickly shook his head.
Li Yuanhao was adept at claw technique and sword technique, but it was clear from Ji Wuyue’s wounds that she was not hurt by a claw technique or a sword technique.
Besides, Ji Wuyue would have noticed if it was Li Yuanhao.
“Forget it, I’ll look into this next time! No matter who you are, I’ll surely tear you to pieces!”
Luo Feng was unforgiving. Later, he walked to the center of his courtyard where he retrieved a brocade box and a jade-colored porcelain bottle. The items were a Grade Two spirit medicine Earth Flame Pill, and a Grade Three spirit medicine Jade Iron Juice, which he won from Chen Xin and Lu Han respectively.
“Earth Flame Pill can toughen my flesh, and eliminate the impurities in my body. Jade Iron Juice can shed my body, and exchange my bones…”
Luo Feng was sparked with an idea when he looked at the spirit medicines. “I wonder what happens if I consume them together?”
He opened the brocade box.
A crimson pill was revealed, whereby rich vitality enveloped the drug as if it was burning in flames. Luo Feng’s face turned red.
Hu…
The courtyard that was initially calm and windless was suddenly blown by a hot wind, causing the air to turn dry.
“The drug efficacy is terrifying!”
Luo Feng was shocked.
Gulp!
He swallowed the Earth Flame Pill right away.
Boom!
The blood in Luo Feng’s body became extremely hot as soon as he consumed the Earth Flame Pill. As if being burned by fire, his blood boiled like lava and flowed restlessly through the meridians all over his body.
Luo Feng breathed heavily as he tried to suppress the powerful drug efficacy. Next, he opened the porcelain bottle that contained the Jade Iron Juice.
When he poured the content onto his palm, a milky liquid that shone like a jade was seen, which was accompanied by a faint fragrance.
The Jade Iron Juice was very strange. While it looked like a liquid, it felt like a solid that was multiple times heavier than iron!
Tss…
Luo Feng tore his shirt apart, revealing his skin that had already turned crimson. He applied the Jade Iron Juice to his body.
“Hahahaha… Awesome!”
The instant the Jade Iron Juice touched his skin, he felt cold energy penetrate his skin. The energy went through his flesh, his blood, his meridians, and his bones, and eventually filling his entire body with a chilly feel. Luo Feng whistled upon experiencing the pleasant feeling.
It was known that water and fire were incompatible. The Earth Flame Pill gathered vital energy from Earth Flames, whereas the Jade Iron Juice was made from unpolished jade that was about 10,000 years old, thus the drug efficacies naturally repelled each other. Both drugs began seizing their territory in Luo Feng’s body the moment they met.
The fiery Earth Flames and the chilly essence of unpolished jade wreaked havoc in Luo Feng’s body, causing him to flicker his eyes uncontrollably.
He felt as if ten million ants crawled inside him, which was a half-enjoyable, half-painful feeling.
If anyone were to watch Luo Feng at that moment, they would notice the strange occurrence of his body alternating between white jade color and crimson.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Luo Feng spent three days standing in his courtyard as he put his utmost effort in refining the drug efficacies of the Earth Flame Pill and the Jade Iron Juice.
On the morning of the third day.
Bzz!
An invisible cyclone formed around Luo Feng, whereby fallen leaves began spiraling outward.
Hu…
Luo Feng opened his eyes after exhaling impure air. In that instant, his eyes shone brightly like two bolts of lightning that lit his courtyard brilliantly.
Chirp, chirp…
Over ten birds that were hunting for food immediately flew away when they sensed the change in Luo Feng’s aura.
He released a formidable aura as he shot a look at the birds. The aura was as heavy as a mountain and as sharp as a saber. He was unstoppable!
Xiu!
Subsequently, the birds shrieked and attempted to escape, then fell from the branches as if struck by lightning. Their eyes went dull and blood could be seen on their beaks. They actually died!
“Heroic Boundary allows one to oppress another by force, such that every look and every word said can be a deadly weapon. It’s true!”
Luo Feng smiled when he saw the bird carcasses on the ground.
He had been in a difficult spot for three days where ice and fire fought in his body. At times he felt like he was submerged in ice-cold water, other times he felt like he was being boiled in lava. It was a tormenting experience.
Nonetheless, the price he paid was worth it.
Not only did he advance to Heroic Boundary successfully, but he also arrived at the peak of Heroic Boundary’s early phase, and was not far from its middle phase!
Luo Feng also noticed that he was mightier than ordinary martial artists due to his strong spiritual power.
Normal martial artists in Heroic Boundary’s early phase could stun birds at most, it was impossible for them to kill birds with one look.
It was no wonder that Luo Feng was able to do that because Heroic Boundary allowed one to attack in a unique method that utilized spiritual power and vitality.
Since Luo Feng’s spiritual power was twice that of a normal person, who could be as powerful as him?
“If I were to encounter Lu Han again, I’ll be able to take him out in one move!” Luo Feng’s eyes burned with confidence.
“Duanmu Yu, just you wait, I’ll crush your pride in a month’s time.” Luo Feng sneered.
“Hey, what’s this smell!”
All of a sudden, Luo Feng pinched his nose. He noticed a dark layer of slime on his body that smelled terrible.
“Are these the impurities discharged from my body?”
Luo Feng instantly realized what the dirt was.
“No way!”
He quickly retrieved water from the well, then cleaned himself from head to toe.
After using ten pails of water, Luo Feng felt clean.
Under the morning sun, his body could be seen full of muscle knots. If looked at closely, one could even see a layer of jade-colored luster on his skin.
Although he was not extremely strong yet, he looked like a ferocious leopard. Immense force was stored at every inch of his muscles, and his slender body was very pleasing to the eye!
It was hard to imagine that this was the body of a fifteen-year-old teen.
“I think I grew much taller, and I look better than before. Is this an advantage of cultivation?”
Luo Feng admired his body through his reflection.
He was no longer the thin teen he used to be.
Just as Luo Feng wanted to measure if he really grew taller, someone knocked on his door.
“Senior Brother Luo Feng, are you in there?”
An unfamiliar voice was heard.
