It felt like sealing a tomb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Meng watched without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ordinary people, this scene would feel sinister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To her, it was terrifying alchemy. And because it was different from everything she had learned, it made her mind stir again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Su Bai pressed the last strand of Yin essence into the pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dull sound rang out. The flame faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gray-white translucent pill floated above his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not beautiful like the Nine-Severing Frost Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked quiet like something that had already died and was simply waiting for others to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai let out a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out another jade bottle and stored the Corpse-Chill Yin Pill inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he look at Liu Meng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Meng. Wiping my sweat earlier helped a lot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Meng blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she quickly waved her hands. \"It was nothing, Senior Brother! I only did what I should. Compared to your Cold-Forging, that small action is not worth mentioning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, it was genuinely helpful. During Cold-Forging, one mistake could ruin the entire batch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Meng had acted at the perfect moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As expected of a corporate god.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Meng, however, did not notice Su Bai’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes were still glowing. She looked at the table, then at the faint frost left behind by the Ashen-Frost Blight Flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother,\" she said softly. \"I think... I need to go back and think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai looked at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Meng’s expression was dazed, but excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I feel like I understood something. Watching your Cold-Forging showed me that medicinal essence does not always need to be forced out with fire...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice grew softer. She was already half-lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai immediately understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An epiphany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For cultivators, sudden insights were precious. For alchemists, they were even more so. A single moment of understanding could improve years of technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then go,\" Su Bai said. \"Do not delay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Meng quickly bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Senior Brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she hurried out of the hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her steps were light, but her mind was clearly no longer on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai watched her leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shook his head with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Geniuses were truly unreasonable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had merely refined two extremely dangerous pills, and she nearly gained enlightenment from watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, he had to rely on poison, curses, and suicidal artifacts just to grow normally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavens were not fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Su Bai had long since stopped expecting fairness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the two jade bottles on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One contained the Nine-Severing Frost Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One contained the Corpse-Chill Yin Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai’s smile slowly widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to reap the harvest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled out his notebook and opened it to the page where he had recorded the two recipes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Item: Nine-Severing Frost Pill]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Standard Effect: Violently targets the nine major meridian gateways in a human body. When swallowed, it releases a burst of absolute-zero Yin energy that flash-freezes these gateways, snapping them apart and crippling the cultivator’s circulation.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at the second entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Item: Corpse-Chill Yin Pill]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Standard Effect: Instantly extinguishes the victim’s Yang energy (life force), killing them and turning their body into a perfectly preserved frozen corpse.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, he carefully picked up the bottle containing the Corpse-Chill Yin Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his guess was correct, this pill might be one of the best emergency healing medicines for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It extinguished life force. Which meant, after reversal, it might violently restore life force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned the body into a preserved frozen corpse. Which meant, after reversal, it might prevent fatal deterioration and preserve his vitality at its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a life-saving pill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai carefully sealed the jade bottle and stored it away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to make more of these later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this dangerous world, having one emergency healing pill was not enough. A proper man needed stock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Su Bai turned to the Nine-Severing Frost Pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes immediately brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Corpse-Chill Yin Pill was for emergencies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-Severing Frost Pill was for upgrading his foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the jade bottle and poured the pill into his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The translucent pill rolled softly against his skin. Nine faint frost lines circled inside it like sealed meridians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai swallowed it directly. It was like eating frozen chocolate while standing in a snowstorm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the pill entered his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one breath, nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying burst of absolute-zero Yin energy exploded inside his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power rushed toward his nine major meridian gateways like nine execution blades. But the moment the lethal power touched Su Bai’s body, his Reversal Body awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The absolute cold did not seal his gateways... It blasted them open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai’s body trembled. His eyes closed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his meridians, nine critical gateways roared like ancient city gates being forced open by a flood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold that should have shattered them turned into a violent reinforcement. Each gateway was widened to its limit, then coated with a dense layer of strange, frost-like energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai sank into meditation. His breathing became slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yin energy surged again and again through his meridians. Every obstruction that once slowed his Qi was stripped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Su Bai opened his eyes, the light inside them had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt it immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, his meridians had been wide. Now, they were open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In cultivation, meridians were like rivers that carried Qi through the body. But the nine major gateways were the locks and gates along those rivers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most cultivators spent years, even decades, slowly opening them one by one. Every opened gateway increased Qi circulation, recovery speed, spell release, and explosive output.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai had skipped the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All nine gates were now open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai slowly raised his hand, then let his Qi flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he willed it, Yin Qi rushed from his Dantian into his palm without delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark needle appeared instantly between his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no lag!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai stared at it, then he laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine-Severing Frost Pill had upgraded his internal pathways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai immediately grabbed the sack of pill dregs Liu Meng before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a handful and stuffed them into his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar taste spread across his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he circulated the Void-Sunflower Supreme Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pill dregs dissolved. The toxic impurities transformed into energy. Then the energy rushed through the nine opened gateways like floodwater through a perfectly cleared canal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai nearly lost control of the cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was far too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he needed Shattered-Soul Oblivion Pills to overclock his Spirit Root and push his refinement speed to this level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his normal state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai swallowed the remaining dregs. A soft shockwave of Qi spread from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cultivation rose to Foundation Establishment Fourth Stage, then to Fifth Stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai sat there in silence. Then he slowly lowered his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shoulders trembled, and this time, he really laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound echoed softly inside the hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The improvement was too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Qi circulation speed had increased. His recovery had increased. His spell-casting speed had increased. Even his physical movements felt lighter because Qi could reinforce his limbs almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spells that required others to gather Qi for several breaths might now activate with a thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Needles that once needed careful timing could now form faster. Falling Leaf Substitution might trigger even more smoothly. Even Devouring Maw might be able to bite into denser energy now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he could now directly absorb solid Qi from Golden Core cultivators without any problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai’s eyes moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thought was dangerous, but also very tempting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head and suppressed it for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi rushed through his body at high speed. The nine opened gateways no longer acted like checkpoints. They acted like open roads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The feeling was indescribable. It was better than drinking coffee three times a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly, he froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still many ingredients left. He could make more Nine-Severing Frost Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first pill had opened his nine major gateways, but what would happen if he ate more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai fell silent. He knocked his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should not be greedy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then quietly took out the ingredients for another batch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will only prepare stock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Bai nodded, fully convinced by his own logic.\u003C\u002Fp>",1577,"2026-06-05T21:50:40.124Z",1,"novelbin.me","ad5271d2220f57379ec2b2728a739f129bcdef004127fd0805f8b3ea58659156","cultivating-in-reverse-my-sign-in-system-wants-m-chapter-84","cultivating-in-reverse-my-sign-in-system-wants-m-chapter-82",87,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-reverse-my-sign-in-system-wants-m-cover.jpg"]
