Niu Geng thought about it again and again and agreed under Li Chen's persuasion. The next day, the four of them picked up the old horse again and set off home with a large cart of luggage.
At first, Niu Geng was very hesitant. He did not think that Li Chen could advance to the Xiantian Realm within ten years, even though he had the Houtian Martial Body. In the end, Li Chen said that if he could not break through in ten years, he would ask the Village Chief's master for help. The Village Chief could also try to break through to the Connate Realm in ten years and realize his dream.
Niu Geng couldn't refuse this reason, especially since it concerned the village chief. Fortunately, there was a ten-year buffer. It wasn't impossible for Li Chen to break through in the future. After thinking about it again and again, he still nodded.
~~~~~~~
After spending more than a month, the four of them returned to the Niu Family Village.
After knowing the situation, Niu Tianyun was stunned for a while. Without saying a word, he stood up and went into seclusion.
Li Chen knew that the Village Chief was very touched. With his personality, he was destined not to say too many words of gratitude. He must have sworn in his heart that he would stand in front of his master openly and allow himself to advance to the Connate Realm within ten years.
To do all this, he had to focus on his cultivation, so he chose to enter seclusion.
After busying himself for a few days and giving away all the gifts he had bought, Li Chen's house was finally quiet. At the same time, his body had also adjusted to its best condition. It was time for him to take the pills.
He didn't act arrogantly and called the Niu brothers to protect him. Li Chen sat cross-legged on the gourd rack and took out the Spirit-gathering Condensing Pill that was emitting a fragrance.
The three of them stared at the pill. Li Chen suddenly smiled and said,""I think I will persevere, but if I don't persevere…Yes, when I die, the two of you have to think of me often. We're brothers in this lifetime. You have to burn more paper money for me…"
Li Chen chuckled, still in the mood to joke. To be honest, he was not that worried about the pain. He just looked at his nervous brother to ease the atmosphere.
The countless hardships and the cultivation of Tendon Changing Classic had already made his nerves unusually tough. Moreover, he had endured the pain of breaking his entire body into pieces and reassembling it again and again while cultivating Tendon Changing Classic. What pain could he not endure?
"Brother Scholar, don't say such inauspicious words at such a crucial moment. En, if you really die, I will burn joss paper for you. Don't worry, Scholar Bro.”Niu Wen teased, but his eyes were filled with worry.
" I'll definitely burn a lot of joss paper for Brother Scholar…" Niu Wu scratched the back of his head and said with a serious expression. His words almost choked Li Chen to death.
F * ck, two bad friends. Li Chen rolled his eyes and gave them the middle finger.
The two of them forced themselves to tease each other, but they could not hide the deep worry and concern in their eyes. Li Chen felt warm in his heart. With a brother like this, what was there to be afraid of?
Li Chen grinned and calmed himself down. He didn't say anything else and put the pill into his mouth.
The pill-like Spirit Gathering Condensing Pill melted when it came into contact with water, instantly turning into a warm current that flowed down his throat and into his stomach.
Boom!
Li Chen's entire body suddenly turned red as if it was on fire.
His stomach was in excruciating pain, and his internal organs were spasming. It was as if someone had branded his internal organs with a branding iron. It was extremely painful.
However, if the Spirit Gathering Condensing Pill only caused this level of pain, Li Chen believed that it was completely fine. Compared to the pain accumulated by cultivating the Tendon Changing Classic, this was completely a drizzle.
"Ah!"
Before Li Chen could recover from his happiness, the medicine in his stomach suddenly turned into countless streams and flowed into his internal organs, limbs, and bones. A strange pain, nausea, and discomfort surged into his heart.
Like thousands of ants devouring his body, the medicinal effect of the Spirit Gathering Condensing Pill finally erupted like a volcano. It rampaged in his body as if it wanted to destroy all obstacles that blocked it.
Not long after, Li Chen's pores were visibly open, and beads of sweat dripped down like rain. His well-defined face was constantly distorted, and the intense pain made his bones creak.
Niu Wen and the other man were trembling with fear as they watched. Their clenched fists were covered in sweat. Li Chen's crumbling appearance made their hearts jump to their throats.
" Brother Scholar, you must succeed…"
Maintaining a sliver of clarity in his mind, he gritted his teeth and endured the waves of life-threatening pain. If it wasn't for the experience of cultivating the Tendon Changing Classic, Li Chen really couldn't guarantee that he could survive such pain.
"It can be compared to the last level of pain of the Yijin Jing, but this kind of pain can't beat me.”Pain filled his mind, and his nerves trembled slightly under the heavy burden. Li Chen gritted his teeth and cheered in his heart.
There was no part of his body that did not hurt, and it did not stop until two hours later. Li Chen, who was already in pain and in a daze, woke up and felt the gradually decreasing pain. He raised the corner of his mouth with difficulty and revealed a smile.
Is he going to succeed?“
Niu Wen and his brother, who had been staring at Li Chen, immediately noticed the smile on Li Chen's lips. The two of them were instantly ecstatic and hugged each other excitedly. They were even happier than they were when they broke through.
Suddenly, Li Chen's lips froze, and his eyes bulged. Then, blood began to ooze out of his seven orifices, and all the pores on his body began to flow. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a crimson red blood man. He lay on the ground and kept twitching. He couldn't even make a sound from his throat.
Niu Wen and the others were scared out of their wits. They arrived in front of Li Chen at an extremely fast speed, but the situation Li Chen was facing made them unable to do anything.
Niu Wen's brows furrowed more and more tightly. With his medical skills, how could he not know that Li Chen was on the verge of death? If it wasn't for the fact that he had the Postnatal Martial Body and had mastered the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture, he would have died a long time ago. Now, he was only able to hold on for a little longer than others.
"Heavens, what did Brother Scholar do wrong? Why are there so many disasters?”Niu Wen felt sad. Fortunately, he did not lose his composure. He quickly sent Niu Wu, who was also at a loss, to find the village chief and get the life-saving medicine.
Li Chen's consciousness was about to blur as he muttered. He saw his father, mother, sister, Ah Wen, Ah Wu, Da Bai, and all the other figures that he didn't recognize floating around in front of him, as if they were calling him, but also as if they were trying to leave him.
Just now, when the pain gradually subsided, Li Chen thought that he had made it through. He did not expect that an indescribable feeling would suddenly fill his entire body.
That feeling made him very sad and painful. It felt like his most precious thing was taken away, forcefully taken away. This feeling was magnified a trillion times, as if someone's soul and life had been taken away. It was unbearable.
This caught Li Chen completely off guard. The defense line that he had painstakingly built collapsed in an instant.
The situation became more and more serious. Niu Wen could not do anything about the situation of bleeding all over his body. It was useless even if he tried his best. Soon, Li Chen was hanging on to his last breath.
"Ah!" Niu Wen roared, his voice like thunder, shaking the entire Niu Family Village.
Hearing this, everyone in the Niu Family Village turned pale with fright. They thought that something big had happened and gathered around Li Chen.
The sorrowful Niu Wen didn't notice that the moment he raised his head and roared, a stream of true energy shot out from Li Chen's bedroom and entered Li Chen's dantian.
The window of the bedroom was slightly closed, and a beautiful woman with a pale face sat on the ground trembling. She closed her beautiful eyes that were as bright as the stars and began to cultivate.
If it wasn't the Snow Deer Demon Chang Xi, who else could it be?
Ever since Li Chen accidentally saved her life when she advanced to the Innate Demon Realm, the pure and kind character of the Snow Deer Race made Chang Xi want to repay Li Chen.
Chang Xi had been following Li Chen to the Niu Family Village, a martial arts clan, and had been hiding in the dark. She had clearly witnessed Li Chen's actions. After observing him for more than a year, she had become interested in Li Chen, an ordinary person.
In the past year, whenever Chang Xi had free time, she would come to Niu Family Village to take a look. Unexpectedly, Li Chen had actually obtained the Spirit Gathering Condensing Pill and even consumed it boldly after she had not been here for a month.
It turned out that the Spirit Gathering Condensing Pill was not something that just anyone could consume. The Medicine Demon had only researched it to allow ordinary people to become martial artists. It did not involve a physique like the Martial Body.
As long as one had a special constitution, they would definitely become a martial artist. They did not need the help of medicinal pills at all. Even if they used medicinal pills, they would still be those natural spirit herbs. Moreover, the reason why special physiques were called special physiques was that they were different from ordinary people. They were special.
There had never been anyone with a special physique who had used the Spirit Gathering True Condensing Pill to help him become a martial artist. The only thing recorded in the historical records was that a Tier Nine Warrior with a Martial Body had mistakenly taken the Spirit-Gathering Condensing Pill. If not for his extremely high cultivation, he would have died long ago. Although he survived, his cultivation had fallen back by four tiers to Tier Five Warrior, and he had never stepped into the Connate Realm.
It could be said that the Spirit Gathering Condensing Pill was a poison to a special physique, let alone a rookie like Li Chen who had no true energy at all.
"Don't you know that the pills used by the martial body are no different from poison?”
Chang Xi was furious. However, Li Chen had already eaten it when she arrived. She didn't even have the chance to stop him. She could only grit her teeth and use her innate origin to save his life.
After spitting out this mouthful of Xiantian Origin, Chang Xi would need at least two to three years to recover. It should be known that she had just advanced to the Xiantian Realm, and this was the time when her cultivation progressed the fastest.
However, Chang Xi didn't regret it. If it weren't for Li Chen's accident, she would have died under the heavenly lightning. She felt that it was totally worth it to repay her benefactor for saving her life in two or three years.
Feeling slightly better, Chang Xi used her divine sense and noticed that there were more and more people in the courtyard. Li Chen's body was also gradually getting better. He endured the waves of weakness and stood up, turning into a stream of light and leaving the Niu Family Village.
His speed was so fast that none of the dozens of people in front of him noticed it.
