Chapter 14: Late-Stage Martial Artist

"Is this... a Pill?"

The items placed inside the box were piles of bottles and jars.

They were not large, only about the size of an adult's palm.

It was easy to make one think of the pills in mythological novels.

"Yo, I didn't expect you to have such a discerning eye, brother!"

Zhang He had originally intended to show off in front of Chu Feng.

He hadn't expected the other party to see through it at a single glance.

"Hehe, I've just heard of them simply; I really don't know what effects these pills have, so I must ask you to explain them, brother."

Chu Feng smiled modestly.

He then gave Zhang He an opportunity to explain.

"Hi, there's actually nothing to it, just take this for example!"

Zhang He was the first to pick up a red bottle, "This pill is a Healing Pill; after taking it, one can greatly repair injuries on the body."

"Then this blue bottle is called a Barrier-Breaking Pill; those at the peak of the Martial Disciple realm can advance to the Martial Artist realm very quickly after taking it."

"After that, these pills..."

Zhang He told Chu Feng everything he knew.

At the same time, he also indicated that if these pills were sold, they would fetch at least over a hundred thousand taels of silver.

After listening to Zhang He's account.

Chu Feng felt that this ambush was truly worth it.

Not only did they obtain a replenishment of supplies, but they also gained quite a few pills.

"This place is not suitable for a long stay; let's leave here quickly. Perhaps the Xiongnu cavalry unit is already chasing after us!"

"That's right, let's leave quickly!"

After everyone finished packing, they immediately set out and left the scene.

Leaving behind only a ground full of corpses and a large pile of supplies burning in the raging fire.

Not until everyone had walked far away.

Did the cavalry unit led by Wulipu arrive late.

When Wulipu saw the supplies burned to ashes before his eyes and Wuligu, who had been split in two, he was instantly about to explode.

"Ah!"

"Wuligu, brother!"

"Ah..."

Wulipu held the two remains of Wuligu and wept bitterly.

This was his own younger brother, born of the same mother!

Some time ago, because he had just been married, he was arranged to be in the rear as logistics personnel.

Due to the tense situation on the front lines, he had not returned to celebrate his brother's wedding.

Who would have thought that after finally returning once, he would see his brother's corpse.

"Damn Wei people, I will chop you all into pieces to feed the dogs!"

Wulipu ordered a few people from the team to take Wuligu's corpse back for burial.

The rest of the troops continued to pursue the departing Wei soldiers according to the clues provided by those still alive.

When he came, Wulipu had intended to directly eliminate the other party to resolve future troubles.

Now, however, Wulipu did not want to directly eliminate them.

He wanted to let this group of Wei soldiers taste what it meant to be worse off than dead.

At dusk.

Chu Feng led the team to set up camp at a hidden sand dune.

Everyone had been rushing about for a day and it was time to have a good rest.

After arranging guards, the rest of the troops immediately began to set up pots and cook.

This time they had captured quite a bit of dried meat, and everyone had a wonderful meal.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to be able to live so comfortably in the Xiongnu's home territory."

"That is all thanks to our Centurion; if it weren't for him, we would probably already be reporting to the King of Hell by now."

"That's right, thanks to the Centurion!"

"Give these Healing Medicines to the injured brothers and let them recover quickly!"

"Understood, Centurion!"

After camping, Chu Feng immediately began to distribute the pills in his hands.

These pills were all provided for the Xiongnu camp, so the quantity was not small.

However, most of them were Healing Pills, but they were also the items they needed most at the moment.

"Brother, how do you plan to distribute the remaining pills?" Zhang He asked.

"Zhang, you said that some of the pills in here can break through realms?"

"That's right!"

Zhang He nodded, "However, these pills are basically only useful for people like Martial Disciples or Martial Artists; if it is someone at the Martial Master realm, the effect is not great."

"Oh? So that means there are even more powerful pills!"

"Of course, but pills are all refined by people of the Dao Sect; however, because it is too cumbersome and spiritual herbs are too rare, the price is very high."

"The more powerful the pill, the more expensive the things required."

"So that's how it is!"

Through his conversation with Zhang He, Chu Feng gained a deeper understanding of the situation in this world.

This is a world where the Dao Sect, Buddhist Sect, Confucianism, and other sects exist.

Every sect has its own very unique cultivation system and techniques.

Take the Dao Sect, for example; they are very skilled at refining Pills.

The Buddhist Sect, on the other hand, possesses arts like the Lion's Roar, Golden Bell Shield, and Iron Cloth Shirt.

"By the way, since we have so many Pills in our hands that can raise the realms of Martial Disciples and Martial Artists, let's just make the most of them."

"Oh? You mean..."

"Take a tally and see which brothers are nearing a breakthrough point; everyone about to break through can receive one Breaking Mirror Pill."

"This..."

Chu Feng's actions made Zhang He feel incredibly astonished.

Generally speaking, obtaining very important items would become the private stash of the leader.

And the most important things they have right now are nothing other than these Pills.

He never expected that Chu Feng would be willing to give these incomparably precious Pills to them for cultivation.

"Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

"No... nothing!"

Zhang He caught his breath, "You deserve the most credit for this ambush; these Pills should rightfully all belong to you. Is it really okay for you to do this..."

Chu Feng raised his hand to signal Zhang He to stop, then continued: "What nonsense are you talking about! This wasn't just my credit alone; everyone has a share!"

"From now on, as long as I, Chu Feng, have a bite to eat, I will never forget the brothers who have braved life and death with me."

Once these words were spoken.

Everyone present was moved, their hearts and minds shaken.

This time, they had truly followed the right person.

Not only does he lead them to achieve great things, but he is also willing to share the spoils of war he obtained with them.

Such a person truly makes them unable to do anything but pledge their lives to him.

"First, tell me what realms you all are in?"

Liu Peng: "Big Brother, I am at the peak Martial Disciple realm."

Zhang Tan: "Big Brother, I am also at the peak Martial Disciple realm."

Niu Yuan: "Big Brother, me too!"

The few people closest to him were only one step away from reaching the Martial Artist cultivation level.

Chu Feng did not hesitate to give them the Breaking Mirror Pills.

"Later, go and tally the situation of the other brothers. Zhang, what about you?"

"I am currently at the Martial Artist Initial Stage. If I have a Breaking Mirror Pill, it won't take long before I can reach the Martial Artist Mid-Stage realm!"

"Hmm, here, take this!"

Chu Feng distributed the Breaking Mirror Pills to everyone one by one.

Afterward, he tallied the situation of the others in the team.

Everyone who met the requirements received the reward of a Pill.

After handling these matters, Chu Feng opened his information panel.

【Realm: Martial Artist Mid-Stage】

【Strength: 3,500 jin】

【Talent: Elite Archer】

【Killing Points: 120】

"The Killing Points are no longer enough to provide for my realm. I wonder if, with the assistance of the Pill, my realm can be raised once more!"

Chu Feng intended to give it a try.

After consuming the Breaking Mirror Pill corresponding to a Martial Artist, Chu Feng began his cultivation.

The night passed without incident.

When Chu Feng opened his eyes again, his realm had finally loosened.

Chu Feng immediately and without hesitation added all his Killing Points to his cultivation.

【Name: Chu Feng】

With one night of cultivation plus the addition of Killing Points.
