Chapter 106: Physique Breakthrough? First Level Limit of the Flying Immortal Body?

Several pills flew out, the movement was huge, finally Chen Chuyang lowered his head to look at the pill in his palm.

The black-colored pill was still the same, with no change, he was stunned for a moment.

It was obvious that this batch of Hundred Herbs Pill left him somewhat dazed, as if the effect was not great; the Dragon Blood Pill he had succeeded in one go, and the effect was not bad. He did not know whether his sister would have any other reaction after trying it, and Chen Chuyang did not ask, so he did not know.

The upgraded version of Hundred Herbs Pill was obviously problematic—black, just not right; the medicinal fragrance was gone, unlike the aroma when opening the furnace, which made one's hair stand on end, pores all over the body opening to absorb, a single breath would advance one's cultivation.

Yet the pill before him caught Chen Chuyang off guard, not matching what he had expected.

"This pill?"

Shang Hongxue came over, glanced at it, feeling somewhat lost and also bewildered.

Logically it shouldn't be like this—there was medicinal fragrance, the movement was not small, everything indicated a high-quality pill, so why was the final product so bizarre? Still so black, pitch-black, resembling the droppings of some kind of bat demon beast.

There was also no taste, nothing at all, not even the most basic luster; as for the effect, one could actually see a hint from the surface. Shang Hongxue weakly glanced at Chen Chuyang, not wanting to see Chuyang older brother sad, wanting to offer words of comfort.

Chen Chuyang, however, looked at Shang Hongxue with a grin and said, "Hongxue."

Shang Hongxue trembled for no reason, her whole body shaking; she blinked, dubiously gazing at Chuyang older brother, feeling that nothing good would happen—once Chuyang older brother smiled at her like that, there must be a problem, but she couldn't run away.

"Chuyang older brother, don't scare me; I'm timid and can't take fright."

She still stepped back a bit, feeling some apprehension and also fear, secretly thinking: Chuyang older brother wouldn't make me eat this pill, would he?

Deadly, she didn't want to eat it.

She knew very well the effects of the previous Hundred Herbs Pill; if she ate this Hundred Herbs Pill, the effect might be even more violent, her fate would be miserable—not that she didn't trust Chen Chuyang, but the upgraded Hundred Herbs Pill right before her eyes really wasn't good.

Although it lacked the foul smell of the liquid medicine and also lacked that repulsive aura, she didn't want to be a guinea pig.

"Chuyang older brother, why not wait until Chu Ran comes next time and let her try it?"

"If that really won't work, I'll get my younger brother to try it, okay?"

She didn't want to eat it herself, even if it meant sacrificing her younger brother.

Shang Yue: "……" You really are my good sister, truly loving me.

"Hongxue, could it be that you won't help me either?"

That tone, that manner of speaking, that gaze.

Shang Hongxue's heart shuddered; she didn't want to answer, really wanted to cry, and also wanted to leave this place.

"Chuyang older brother, I really can't, otherwise……"

Her voice had become hoarse; she truly wanted to cry.

This pill, after eating it, might…… lead to death.

"Don't worry, Hongxue, nothing will happen; I have confidence in the Hundred Herbs Pill I refined."

"……"

"I have no confidence in these pills, okay? You have confidence, so why don't you eat them?"

Shang Hongxue stared straight at Chen Chuyang, her gaze conveying her meaning.

Chen Chuyang lowered his head and sighed: "Even you won't help me? Hongxue."

What a fellow, this acting, this speed of changing faces—why don't you go be an actor?

Shang Hongxue was convinced; she really wanted to beat someone up.

"Hoo hoo hoo."

Close your eyes, open your mouth.

"Come on, Chuyang older brother, give me the pill to eat."

Give it my all—if I die, I die.

"At worst, in eighteen years I'll be a beauty again."

Chen Chuyang was very happy; he pinched a pill and shoved it in, not giving her a chance to spit it out, he closed her mouth and then lifted it up—the pill slid down with a slip, he hadn't even tasted it, and the pill melted.

"It melts upon entry—this is indeed a good thing."

Shang Hongxue opened her eyes and blinked.

"You just ate it?"

"Hmm, how does it taste?"

"Nothing……"

Shang Hongxue's face changed instantly, her body began to turn red, her blood throughout rapidly boiling.

Her body also began to tremble, as if she were inside a furnace.

Her viscera and bowels, as well as her bones, were all boiling.

Her whole face turned flushed red; she wanted to speak but found she couldn't utter a word.

She plunged headfirst into the Yu Tang pond, forcibly cooling down.

Chen Chuyang recorded this scene, then used his Spiritual Sense to probe the changes inside Shang Hongxue's body.

"Her viscera and bowels are strengthening, the speed of strengthening is very fast, at least five times stronger than the liquid medicine—this effect is very powerful."

"Her bones and skin blood are also changing; this change is rapid, her flesh has been enhanced by a level."

"Her body hasn't collapsed; Hongxue's body is still holding up."

Spiritual spring water continuously soaked her; the spiritual energy within entered her body, helping her break through.

In the body-tempering realm, she had been stuck for a long time; actually, only now did she begin to enter it.

This step counts as helping her finish it ahead of time; these years she has been unable to cultivate normally, her body also drained, Chen Chuyang's efforts these days were not in vain—Shang Hongxue's body can now accommodate spiritual energy, she has begun to absorb it and strengthen herself.

The effect of the upgraded Hundred Herbs Pill is not yet over; during the transformation, it is precisely the process of eliminating impurities.

"Don't look anymore, Chuyang older brother."

Shang Hongxue's face flushed red, she exerted effort to control herself.

She looked for a latrine; fortunately she found one, beside the Yu Tang pond there was now an additional latrine built by Chen Chuyang, precisely to prevent such a situation from occurring.

Then, it was a stench that shot up to the sky.

Quite spectacular.

Quite frightening.

Just hearing the sound made Chen Chuyang feel frightened.

At this rate, he will soon collapse from exhaustion.

The little girl's body contains quite a lot of impurities; after this expulsion, she is likely to enter a cultivation state.

The first layer of restriction on her special constitution might also loosen as a result.

It is still difficult to undo.

The effect of the Hundred Herbs Pill exceeded his imagination; there are side effects, but they are merely a bit indecent.

This is nothing compared to the pill's effect; everything else can be ignored.

There is no pill without side effects.

Chen Chuyang consoled himself like this; at least he felt this situation was normal. Shang Hongxue's excretion took a full half an hour, a terrifying length of time; if it were an ordinary person, they would probably have fainted in the outhouse.

"The side effects seem somewhat strong, a bit greater than those of Item and the first batch of Hundred Herbs Pills."

"It is still acceptable; probably because Hongxue has too many impurities in her body, so it takes a bit longer."

The problem is not the pill, but rather that my sister-in-law Shang Hongxue's body is too weak, with too many impurities.

It requires uninterrupted cleansing; this step is also the first step of body-tempering. The body-tempering realm actually means continually removing impurities, strengthening oneself, absorbing the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, making the body stronger and with fewer impurities.

As for her, she has spent many years on this step, yet still has not succeeded.

The limitations of her body prevent her from condensing a qi seed, and thus she cannot give birth to true qi.

Otherwise, her body would not be so weak.
