Chapter 965

Next, he opened another silver metal box, which also contained a type of potion, only this one held hundreds of bottles of Dream Potion.

Inside were filled with a pink liquid.

He stored the other items into the Source Core World, leaving only one bottle out.

However, this potion was not meant for drinking, but for smelling.

As he opened the bottle cap, a strange fragrance instantly permeated the air.

"Hoo—"

Lin Qi absorbed this strange fragrance through his nose and mouth.

"Hoo hoo—"

Amidst gusts of breeze, the fragrance entered his body and rushed toward his brain.

Lin Qi only felt his vision blur, and the scene around him began to shift.

In an instant, intense pain surged into his heart.

"Hiss—"

This sensation of pain felt incomparably familiar to him; every part of his body began to be torn apart, his muscles, tendons, bones, and internal organs were all being churned to pieces.

Then, they began to reshape.

This was the agony worse than death that he had experienced when he awakened and underwent his transformation.

And one of the effects of the Dream Potion was to awaken the most painful memories of the absorber.

However, it was usually physical pain.

But if the pain was insufficient, it would also create suffering, such as magnifying ordinary physical pain countless times.

However, the pain Lin Qi had experienced did not need to be magnified.

He had experienced it once and did not want to experience it again.

But now, he was being made to relive it once more.

"Hoo hoo—"

Lin Qi's body began to tremble violently; this feeling of being completely shattered from the inside out and then reshaped was too torturous.

The pain devoured his reason.

Even the various impacts experienced within the Dream Bridge could not compare to this.

Experiencing it again, Lin Qi also felt intense pain.

At the same time, more fragrance was absorbed by him, and the liquid in the bottle was also being rapidly consumed.

Simultaneously, the Spirit-Guarding Liquid he had taken in advance was also exerting its effect, protecting his consciousness.

It allowed Lin Qi to maintain clarity throughout.

If it were any other genius, they might have been unable to endure it from the very beginning.

One hour later.

"Hoo—"

Lin Qi opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air; his expression was weary, and his mental energy had been greatly consumed.

However, the Spirit-Guarding Liquid was also playing its part; besides protecting his mind, it could also restore the consumed mental energy.

A moment later, the effect vanished, and he had recovered.

Looking at the Dream Potion again, the liquid inside had completely evaporated, having been absorbed by him.

"Hoo—"

Lin Qi exhaled a breath.

That past hour was truly too torturous.

However, having persisted, he felt that his willpower had also improved a little.

His tolerance for pain had also become a bit stronger.

This showed that the Dream Potion was still effective.

He could continue taking it.

After recovering for a moment, he took another bottle of Spirit-Guarding Liquid and then continued to open the Dream Potion.

"Inhale—exhale—"

Soon, the familiar pain emerged once again.

What greeted Lin Qi was another long period of suffering.

Although painful, in order to improve his willpower, he forcibly endured it.

With continuous pain, without a strong will, no one could persist.

After all, with the improvement of his realm, his physical fitness had greatly increased, his body strength had improved, and his defense and recovery abilities had risen.

Basically, there would be no more pain.

It was not easy to feel like an ordinary person suffering from various illnesses.

However, many geniuses had fought their way up from the bottom.

Their willpower—some willpower would be corroded.

And some would only grow stronger with time.

And Lin Qi was one such person.

The continuous pain made him want to give up.

Once he gave up, with his ability, he could do it.

But a bottle of Dream Potion worth 5 million cultivation points would be wasted just like that.

So, in order not to waste it, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

However, because the duration of one bottle of Dream Potion was too short,

he directly opened several bottles, absorbing more fragrance to make it last longer.

But in order to temper his will, he also had to forcibly endure it.

The longer the time, the more violently his body shook.

【You absorbed the Dream Potion, feeling endless pain in the illusion; you persisted, and your willpower has been tempered!】

Information also popped up on the panel, telling him that his willpower had indeed improved.

This affirmed his persistence.

One week later.

"Hoo—"

Lin Qi, draped in a black robe, stopped trembling all over and opened his eyes; his gaze radiated unimaginable exhaustion.

He looked at the silver metal box in front of him; 50 bottles of the Dream Potion had already been used.

At the beginning, he had used them too aggressively; although his willpower was tempered, it was too painful.

He also couldn't quite take it anymore and needed to recover properly.

He chose to return to the villa to rest for a while.

One month.

"Chi chi!!"

On the martial training ground, Lin Qi, wearing a black robe, brandished the pitch-black Jin Ting Great Spear, practicing his spear technique.

The power of Golden Gangjin circled around his body, and his mental perception was released.

"As my willpower improves, my control over mental energy has also improved, and it has even become more resilient."

"This can be considered an unexpected joy."

Lin Qi was also thinking in his heart.

He could feel the improvement in his willpower; his control over mental energy had risen a level, his perception had become clearer, and it had even undergone a transformation.

This could also be considered a disguised improvement in combat power.

For the past month, he had been relaxing.

So he read books, practiced some spear techniques, watched Blue Star television and movies, and even played virtual games.

Don't say otherwise, the virtual games were indeed made quite well.

If it weren't for his strong willpower, he really might have become addicted to them.

This was also taught by his teacher, Lei Zun.

After using these potion resources, the mental pain was not conducive to subsequent cultivation; one must learn to relax.

Work and rest should be balanced.

Only then could willpower be steadily improved.

And he felt that after relaxing for a month, his mood had recovered quite a bit.

And like other geniuses, they might relax for even longer.

They would temper themselves for a period and then need to relax for a long time; during this time, they might go to comprehend the laws again.

Because compared to improving willpower, they would rather go and comprehend the power of laws.

Therefore, it generally took a lot of time to pass through the Dream Bridge.

An average of 2,000 years to clear it meant that some legendary geniuses had used more than 2,000 years.

"Boom!!"

Lin Qi's great spear suddenly thrust out, the space exploded, and black spatial cracks appeared.

Lin Qi felt the power within.

He put away the great spear and sat down again.

He took out two metal boxes from the Source Core World; upon opening them, they were the Spirit-Guarding Liquid and the Nightmare Crystal, respectively.
