It was a golden pill the size of a pigeon's egg. Beside the pill was a piece of paper. On the paper was a detailed introduction of the pill's name, medicinal effects, and usage.
When Chu Ming finished reading the contents of the paper, his breathing became heavy.
The name of the medicinal pill was "Sanjiu Spirit Gathering Pill". It was a medicinal pill used to increase the strength of martial artists. It could be consumed by martial artists in the Postnatal realm and below. If a precelestial martial artist ate it, he could instantly increase his cultivation by one level. If a tempering martial artist ate it, he could directly advance from the tempering realm to the precelestial realm in a short time.
In fact, Feng Lie had told Chu Ming about the Sanjiu Spirit Gathering Pill before he died, so he had a vague impression of it. It was said that this pill was unique to the Great Qin Empire's royal family, and it was quite difficult to refine. It required hundreds of rare materials and took nearly ten years to refine. Even Great Qin's royal family's treasury did not have many of them.
Under normal circumstances, the generals of the Great Qin Empire would only be rewarded with a Sanjiu Spirit Gathering Pill if they had made great contributions to the war. However, Chu Ming had received one without even making a single contribution. It could be said that he had picked up a huge bargain. In the past, the champion of the martial arts competition had never received such a generous reward.
Of course, Chu Ming had risked his life to obtain such a reward. If he hadn't fought with Luo Yuntian, how could he have obtained such a reward? As the saying goes, the bolder the person, the more productive the land.
"Hu ~"
After a while, Chu Ming took a deep breath, closed the box, and placed it back on the tray.""Alright, I've already looked through the things. Put them down. I'll deal with them later!”It had to be said that he had made the right choice to come to the Martial Arts Competition this time. Not only had he successfully completed the novice task, but his strength had also increased greatly. Now, with this "Three-Nine Spirit Gathering Pill", his cultivation could also advance to the Postnatal realm. It was truly a double blessing.
"Yes, my lord!" Zhang Fu carefully placed the tray on the table and turned to Chu Ming.""Sir, there is something else I need to report to you.”
"Speak!" Chu Ming said lightly.
"It's like this." Zhang Fu said," In the few days that you were unconscious, many ministers and nobles sent their servants to invite you to the residence. What do you think?"”
"Not interested, reject all of them!" Chu Ming waved his hand without hesitation. He naturally knew why these people invited him over. It was nothing more than because he had won the Martial Selection Meet this time and was in the limelight. They wanted to rope him in. He had never liked these people, so how could he have the time to deal with these people? If he had this time, he might as well cultivate for a while.
"Refuse all of them?"
Zhang Fu paused for a moment before saying," Uh, Your Excellency, forgive me for speaking too much. It's not a big problem for others to reject, but one of these invitations belongs to the Second Prince. Do you think you should reconsider…"
"There's no need to consider it. Refuse it altogether." Chu Ming interrupted Zhang Fu impatiently. What First Prince or Second Prince? In his heart, there had never been any difference in status between people. There was only the difference of how close they were. He had no relationship with the Second Prince, so there was naturally no need to give him face. Forget about the Second Prince, even the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire was just a title to him. There was no respect or reverence that ordinary people should have.
"This…"
Zhang Fu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Chu Ming's obvious impatience, he swallowed his words and said respectfully,""Yes, sir, I know what to do!”
"Mm, that's good!"
Chu Ming nodded in satisfaction.”
"Alright, Sir, we'll take our leave first!”After saying that, Zhang Fu bowed respectfully, turned around, and led the maid Xiao Ying out, closing the door behind him.
"I wonder if this 'Sanjiu Spirit Gathering Pill' can really help me advance to the Houtian stage.”After the two left, Chu Ming picked up the box with the pills and slowly opened it. Originally, he had planned to go out and take a breather. However, now that he had obtained a spiritual pill that could allow him to advance to the Postliminary Realm directly, he naturally wanted to test the effect first.
A strong medicinal fragrance entered his nose. Chu Ming picked up the pill with his right hand and put it into his mouth without hesitation.
The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth, turning into a warm current that instantly entered his body. A wave of intense pain that he hadn't felt before suddenly struck him and spread throughout his entire body.
Chu Ming wasn't surprised. Instead, he was delighted. He knew that this was a necessary process for the Body Forging Realm to advance to the Postnatal Realm.
The pain in his body was getting more and more intense, but his senses were extremely sensitive. At this moment, even a slight tremble could cause Chu Ming to feel immense pain. He lifted his finger lightly, and a heart-wrenching feeling followed. Fortunately, the pain didn't last long. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Chu Ming heard a faint cracking sound coming from his body, as if a barrier had been broken. With this soft sound, the heart-wrenching pain instantly disappeared.
Immediately, Chu Ming felt a cold stream of air slowly being born in his lower abdomen and growing stronger. It slowly moved through his veins, merging into every acupuncture point, every vein, and every bone in his body. Chu Ming's body seemed to be slowly transforming, like a butterfly waiting to be reborn.
"Hu ~"
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ming exhaled a white breath and slowly opened his eyes. The bright light was like lightning, darting in the void.
"Is this the Postnatal Realm?"
Chu Ming muttered to himself as he felt the energy flow in his dantian. The new air current was not thick, and could even be said to be very faint. If one did not pay attention, it would be difficult to feel it. However, this faint air current gave one an abnormally comfortable feeling.
"Ha!"
Suddenly, Chu Ming shouted and controlled the Qi in his dantian to strike.
With a bang, the wooden stool ten feet away suddenly exploded into thousands of pieces, shooting in all directions. In an instant, the entire house became a mess.
"Not bad, Houtian and Body Forging are indeed not on the same level.”Chu Ming nodded in satisfaction at the effect of his palm.
It could be said that only warriors who had reached the Houtian realm were considered true warriors. Before that, the Body Forging realm was only the lowest level of the Heavenly Martial Continent, equivalent to an apprentice. Once one reached the Postnatal realm, one's strength would not simply double, but multiply several times. Moreover, one could kill people from afar and take their lives from dozens of feet away.
"Now I can finally cultivate a cultivation technique. However, which of the two Xiantian cultivation techniques should I choose?”While he was thinking, Chu Ming took out the Three Yuan Secret Manual from his bag in the game space and the Seven Kill Technique from another box on the table.
From the content introduction, the two martial arts had their own characteristics. Among them, the Three Yuan Secret Manual had both attack and defense, with pure and long inner Qi. The Seven Kill Combat Technique was purely a martial art that focused on killing. The seven martial arts techniques that came with it were also deadly and unusually fierce. Such a characteristic suited Chu Ming's personality. After some hesitation, Chu Ming decided to practice the Seven Kills Combat Technique. As for the Secret Manual of Three Primordial Spirits that Feng Lie had left him, he would keep it as a souvenir. After all, if one wanted to cultivate a technique to the extreme, not only did one need a certain amount of talent, but one also needed to have a personality suitable for the practitioner. If a person with a violent personality were to cultivate a gentle technique, it would definitely be difficult for them to cultivate it well. In fact, they might even suffer a backlash from the technique. Although the Three Yuan Secret Manual was not bad, it was still not to Chu Ming's liking.
……
On the bed, Chu Ming sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. His hands formed a mysterious hand seal, one above and one below, and he placed it in his dantian. As he breathed, wisps of Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered around him, forming a vortex that quickly seeped into his body and circulated in his meridians. If someone could see through it, they would notice that a small vortex was forming in Chu Ming's dantian. It was slow but powerful.
"Hu ~"
After a long time, he exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Feng Kai opened his eyes, and an extremely obscure light flashed in his pupils.
"The Xiantian cultivation technique is indeed extraordinary. In just four hours, the aura in my body has increased by a large margin.”Chu Ming was very satisfied with this Xiantian cultivation technique. If it was a Houtian cultivation technique, he might not even be able to achieve this effect in two days.
"Now, let's test the power of this Seven Kill Combat Technique's martial technique!”Chu Ming got off the bed and tidied up his clothes, which were a little messy from practicing martial arts. He opened the door and walked out.
"My lord!"
As soon as he opened the door, the maid Xiao Ying, who had been waiting not far away, came up to him.
"Yes!"
Chu Ming nodded and said,""Where is the training field? Bring me there!" Previously, when Chief Zhang Fu introduced the layout of the entire Rearguard Commandery, he had mentioned that there was a special training field in the Rearguard Commandery. He wanted to go there to take a look and test the power of the Seven Kill Combat Technique, the martial technique that came with the Seven Kill Combat Technique.
"Alright, sir, please follow me!”Xiao Ying bowed slightly and led Chu Ming to the right.
The commandant's area wasn't very big. After walking along a bluestone corridor for less than a minute, a training field about the size of a basketball court appeared in Chu Ming's eyes. The entire training ground was paved with unknown green stones. On the left side was a weapon rack. There were knives, spears, swords, swords, and all kinds of weapons...
