Chapter 47: Profound Heaven Fetal Respiration Pill
“I truly deserve to die!” Chu Huaixu began to berate himself.
Before this, he had been calling the elder a pervert in his mind.
Before the stone table, the two of them gazed at the powerful calligraphy on the scroll, both lost in thought.
Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang could both feel the presence of this senior!
“I imagine this senior’s path of cultivation was not an easy one,” Han Shuangjiang mused.
She was also beginning to understand why, despite being a supreme-grade Spiritual Embryo, she couldn’t open the stone door using her Spirit Disk.
It was because this senior, named Lei Wenyan, had intended to leave the treasures within the Secret Realm for descendants with insufficient Innate Talent!
The Profound Heaven Fetal Respiration Pill was an extremely precious level seven Spirit Pill.
For ordinary Cultivators, it was a life-saving medicine.
If a Spiritual Embryo’s foundation was destroyed, the least severe outcome was stagnation for life, much like Liu Chengqi.
The more severe outcome could be a regression in cultivation, shortened lifespan, or even death.
Possessing such a Spirit Pill was equivalent to having an extra layer of insurance.
However, for Cultivators with insufficient Innate Talent, the Profound Heaven Fetal Respiration Pill could truly help them defy fate.
Lei Wenyan’s words, “I bestow upon you a fortune,” were by no means an exaggeration!
Looking at the Spirit Pill treasure box and the scroll, Chu Huaixu couldn’t help but utter a popular saying from the internet:
“Because he had been rained on himself, he offered an umbrella to others.”
To reach the Great Cultivator realm with a mere level three low-grade Spiritual Embryo, one could only imagine the hardships endured.
Han Shuangjiang, hearing this for the first time, paused for a moment before nodding deeply.
“Moreover,” she said, having a clear understanding of the situation, “the trial set by this Senior Lei also holds profound meaning.”
“He didn’t just give the Spirit Pill to anyone with a low-grade Spiritual Embryo.”
This seemed like a redundant statement.
But in reality, if you were willing to suffer, you would suffer endlessly.
For those with an unstable Dao heart, what good would the Profound Heaven Fetal Respiration Pill do?
It could indeed raise your upper limit, but it wouldn’t suddenly make you a prodigy; its improvement was limited.
However, for those with a firm Dao heart, this senior was adding a sweetness to the destined hardships of your cultivation path.
He used himself as an example, telling you that even a level three low-grade Spiritual Embryo could become a Great Cultivator.
Through his gift, he was making your future path a little easier.
Lei Wenyan was your guide, and also your protector on the road.
Chu Huaixu had only recently transmigrated and hadn’t fully adapted to this world.
Therefore, there was no scene of disciples offering thanks.
Yet, he was quite moved in his heart.
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his ear.
“【Ding! Hidden Instance [Pill King’s Token] cleared.】”
“【Settling rewards】”
“【Congratulations, you have obtained 1000 Free Experience Points, Profound Heaven Fetal Respiration Pill*1.】”
Cultivation is not about acting in isolation; many Cultivators enter Secret Realms, undergo various trials, gain insights, and then break through.
The system rewarding experience points after an instance was similar.
It was clear that the main reward of this hidden instance was this priceless high-grade Spirit Pill.
Therefore, the experience points awarded were not particularly high.
“Fortunately, due to the uniqueness of the [Sword Refining Art], I also gained over 2000 cultivation technique experience points in the medicinal bath by chance,” Chu Huaixu was already satisfied.
Speaking of which, this instance with Han Shuangjiang had been smooth overall.
But the fundamental reason was that both of them had cheats!
With two cheaters, everything was naturally smooth.
If one were to claim the instance wasn’t difficult, they should look at those still trapped outside, or those who had already been kicked out of the instance.
At this moment, Han Shuangjiang looked at Chu Huaixu and asked, “What should we do now?”
There was no path ahead, and to leave, they would likely have to retrace their steps.
Chu Huaixu glanced at the Spirit Pill treasure box and after a moment of thought, said, “Are you willing to guard me?”
“Are you planning to take the Spirit Pill now?” Han Shuangjiang asked.
“Yes,” Chu Huaixu pointed at the stone door and said, “I took the Spirit Disk, which means the key is gone. No one else can enter unless they have high cultivation and forcefully break the formation here.”
“For me, this is probably the best place to go into seclusion.”
“After all, it’s a level seven Spirit Pill, and there might be unforeseen circumstances. It’s better to just consume it!” His eyes narrowed.
Han Shuangjiang nodded and directly said, “Okay.”
Chu Huaixu found a spot and sat down cross-legged.
He took out the Profound Heaven Fetal Respiration Pill, the size of a longan, from the Spirit Pill treasure box, and couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s this big, if I swallow it, won’t it get stuck in my throat?”
As a result, the Profound Heaven Fetal Respiration Pill melted in his mouth.
Chu Huaixu hadn’t eaten anything like this when he played [The Borrowed Sword].
A warm current began to generate within his body and then flowed into his limbs.
Han Shuangjiang watched him quietly as she noticed Chu Huaixu’s body turning red and hot at a visible rate.
Already wet, steam began to rise from him.
“How hot must it be?” she thought, astonished, but dared not touch him.
Chu Huaixu closed his eyes and felt the changes within himself.
He discovered that the black Heart Sword in his Sea of Consciousness, which had been lifeless, seemed to have become… more active?
By the cold pool, Liu Tianfeng and Niu Yuanshan were playing chess.
They had already played several rounds, passing the time.
Of the ten people who entered the Secret Realm, six had been expelled by the formation and were standing by the side of the two supervisors, serving them carefully.
The junior sister Chen, who was already in a relationship but had an affair with Liu Chengqi, was among them.
These six unlucky souls had, essentially, failed to pass the first trial, the maze, and were expelled for exceeding the time limit.
Therefore, when Liu Tianfeng asked, they had no idea what subsequent trials entailed; they were completely clueless.
At this moment, Niu Yuanshan held a black chess piece. After making his move, he looked at Liu Tianfeng and said, “Brother Liu, your mind is unsettled.”
As more and more of his confidants were expelled from the Secret Realm, Liu Tianfeng made countless mistakes while playing chess.
Niu Yuanshan, on the other hand, was calm and composed, as Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang were still undergoing trials within the Secret Realm.
“I’m not playing anymore!” Liu Tianfeng frowned, having lost all patience.
Initially, it was eight people against two, but then six useless individuals couldn’t even pass the first trial, leaving it as two against two inside the Secret Realm!
He had no way of knowing the specific situation inside, and could only pray in his heart, “My son must pass the trial.”
“I hope there really is a Profound Heaven Fetal Respiration Pill here!”
After all, the key to the Secret Realm’s entrance was the [Pill King’s Token], which implied that the items left behind were likely related to elixirs.
Liu Tianfeng had his son late in life, and Liu Chengqi was a blazing Spiritual Embryo. He named him Chengqi, naturally hoping for him to become successful.
“After his Spiritual Embryo was damaged, Brother Qi became dejected and his personality changed drastically.”
“May the ancestors bless me, may the Daoist Sect’s predecessors bless me.”
Niu Yuanshan was speechless seeing him refuse to continue playing, as he was about to win the game.
However, with his honest and gentle nature, he simply smiled it away.
Even if he wasn’t a natural good-natured person, after wearing such a mask for so long, he really couldn’t take it off.
Liu Chenggong, the deputy captain of the Enforcement Team, immediately served tea to his uncle and Supervisor Niu.
He spoke to comfort him, “Uncle, there’s no need to worry. My cousin is wise beyond his years and will surely pass the trial!”
In his heart, his cousin was indeed a precocious person. At this age, he still liked young girls, whereas his cousin had liked other people’s companions and mature women years ago.
Liu Tianfeng nodded slowly after hearing this, knowing that worrying was useless.
His current state was like parents waiting outside while their child was taking the college entrance examination inside.
As time passed, another person was expelled from the Secret Realm and sank to the bottom of the cold pool.
If it weren’t for the water-repelling pearls, they likely would have choked on water.
After this registered disciple surfaced, Liu Tianfeng’s expression became even more unpleasant.
“Meng Xiaodong, you’re out this quickly too!” he glared angrily.
Among the assistants assigned to his son, he had the highest hopes for this one.
However, in reality, Meng Xiaodong was the first among these people to exit the maze, and then he got trapped in an illusion.
When the time was up, he was eliminated.
Liu Chenggong quickly stepped forward again to placate him, “Uncle, don’t be angry. My cousin is still inside.”
“But that Chu…” Liu Tianfeng glanced at Niu Yuanshan and finally chose to remain silent.
Fortunately, according to the descriptions of these registered disciples, it seemed to be a solo battle within the Secret Realm, with each person choosing a separate cave entrance.
“In other words, Qi’er probably wouldn’t have to face a one-on-two situation,” Liu Tianfeng thought.
However, in the next moment, a profound aura began to spread outwards from the cold pool.
The long sword on Liu Chenggong’s back began to tremble uncontrollably.
