Chapter 188

Qin Bei asked in a low, internal voice.

When the medicinal herbs were placed into the mechanical space,

Qin Bei had already asked Zea to help him categorize them.

Those for enhancing spiritual power and meditation went into one pile.

Those for enhancing the physical body and flesh went into another.

Those for transcendent breakthroughs were also in a pile.

Then there were the poisons.

Low-grade medicinal herbs, which were of little use to him, were also separated into a pile.

This pile was still the largest.

Finally, there were the top-tier medicinal herbs.

There were only five top-tier herbs.

Whether he could use them or not, Qin Bei collected them all.

After all, these things were rare and hard to come by.

It would be too wasteful to sacrifice them.

Qin Bei first covered the low-grade herbs with his spiritual power.

[Substance containing energy detected. Does the host wish to sacrifice it? This sacrifice is expected to yield 5,452 energy points.]

"Sacrifice."

Qin Bei nodded.

In just a short while,

the total was nearing 20,000 points.

Upgrading a three-star Kamen Rider to four-star required 30,000 energy points.

One more day should be enough.

Afterward, following Zea's suggestion, Qin Bei sacrificed the herbs he didn't really need.

He gained another 6,000-plus energy.

Qin Bei's energy value had now reached 24,000 points.

With the death of the two ninth-rank fierce beasts,

Qin Bei released his pet beasts.

They continued to search for medicinal herbs within the secret realm.

As for Qin Bei, he found a tree hollow and then deactivated his transformation.

After all, he was a bit tired after fighting for such a long time.

He took out the medicinal herbs.

Based on the current progress, these were the most suitable herbs for him to use.

Besides,

his spiritual power seemed to be on the verge of another breakthrough.

After all, the continuous battles—

from the sparring between the nations of the Great Xuan,

to searching for the S-rank secret realm,

then the Xiba countries, and finally this secret realm that belonged solely to him—

had kept Qin Bei's mind in a state of constant tension.

His spiritual power had been forced to train the entire time.

Qin Bei felt that the fourth-rank Beast Tamer realm was beckoning to him.

Moreover, his fourth-rank martial artist breakthrough was also close.

After all,

if one were to ask which medicine Qin Bei consumed the most,

it would certainly be those related to Qi, blood, and physical stamina.

Right in front of him, there was a whole pile of them.

Chapter 153: A Dream?

At this moment, Qin Bei stood in front of it with a serious expression.

Before him was a pit.

Inside the pit was a bubbling green liquid.

It looked like boiling water.

Qin Bei swallowed hard.

Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He asked nervously,

"Zea, are you sure there's really no problem?"

"Don't worry, President. According to Zea's judgment, apart from brief pain, there are no other side effects."

"Furthermore, since you are taking spiritual medicine in advance, you won't feel too much pain. You can rest assured."

"If there is any movement from the Sky-Piercing Hedgehog, Zea will alert you, President."

After hearing Zea's explanation,

Qin Bei's tense heart relaxed slightly.

However, looking at the bubbling green liquid,

it looked like poison no matter how he viewed it.

But this liquid was actually concocted by Qin Bei himself.

Based on Zea's deduction,

Qin Bei had used some liquids he had collected previously.

These were found in the nests of seventh and eighth-rank fierce beasts.

Things like dragon fluid, star marrow, and bone water—

medicines that had strengthening effects on the physical body—

were all combined together.

Then, he added some medicinal herbs that enhanced the body.

Mixed together,

it turned into what it was now.

Zea said that once he absorbed the medicinal spiritual energy in the liquid,

he would be able to break through to a fourth-rank martial artist.

And in Qin Bei's hand,

there was also a bottle of red potion.

This was a spiritual potion concocted under Zea's calculations.

It was to nourish his spirit.

After all, Qin Bei's rate of improvement was too fast.

His physical body was fine; it could be polished and suppressed.

But his spirit was a bit difficult.

It still had to rely on potions to nourish it further,

to lay a solid foundation.

He took a deep breath.

Qin Bei also released the Pitch-Black Dragon.

One dragon and one bat stood guard outside the tree hollow.

Qin Bei opened the potion in his hand,

then tilted his head back and drank it down.

It was like eating a peppermint candy.

A cool sensation flooded Qin Bei's mind.

Qin Bei gritted his teeth.

He jumped directly into the green liquid in front of him.

Splat, splat.

The moment the clothes on Qin Bei’s body touched the green liquid.

They melted instantly.

Seeing this, Qin Bei was so scared his face turned green.

He wanted to struggle and run out.

However.

Qin Bei felt his whole body was in a state of paralysis at this moment.

He couldn't even feel his own arms.

While teetering on the edge.

Qin Bei fell.

His entire body was submerged by the green liquid.

Qin Bei slowly closed his eyes.

He sank into a pitch-black darkness.

It was as if he were having a dream.

In the dream.

He saw a scene.

All sorts of bizarre, misshapen objects.

Exuding a black, ominous aura.

Were attacking some humanoid black shadows.

Thousands of bizarre objects.

Skeletons with green flames.

Beings born in black robes wielding scythes.

Monsters with scorpion tails and snake bodies.

And six-eyed monkeys whose entire bodies radiated twisted light.

Each one seemed like the embodiment of evil in the world.

And in the center.

Were two hundred-meter-tall humanoid black shadows.

And on their foreheads.

Was a purple crystal unicorn horn.

It looked incredibly evil and charming.

And very majestic.

When the purple crystal unicorn horns emitted light.

One could see the surrounding bizarre, evil creatures stop in their tracks.

As if they were afraid.

However, as a turtle-like creature waved its tentacles and let out a roar.

These bizarre, evil creatures seemed to have received some kind of order.

Opening their maws and waving their weapons, they charged toward the two black shadows.

No!

There were three!

Only then did Qin Bei realize.

In the hand of one of the black shadows.

There was another black shadow.

It was only one meter in size.

The mist scattered around it was very weak.

Compared to the two giant black shadows.

The gap was more than ten million times over.

It seemed like a gust of wind could blow it away.

The battle!

Had begun!

One creature after another threw themselves at the black shadows in succession.

But the two black shadows were like gods of war.

With punches and kicks.

They struck down the creatures one by one!

Watching the two black shadows strike down these messy, evil creatures.

Qin Bei couldn't help but clench his fists in excitement.

However, the sky suddenly turned red.

A black moon appeared in the red sky.

Nine figures descended from the black moon.

And stood opposite the two black humanoid figures.

For some reason.

Seeing this scene, Qin Bei couldn't help but feel nervous.

He hurriedly widened his eyes to look at the scene before him.

However, the scene before him suddenly disappeared.

Qin Bei was stunned.

Then he looked anxious.

He roared loudly, wanting the scene to reappear.

Even Qin Bei himself didn't know.

Why he was so nervous.

A moment later.

The scene finally reappeared.

Nine strange figures stood beside the black shadows.

No!

There were ten!

Above the black moon.

If one looked closely.

One could see an octopus waving its tentacles.

But this tenth figure didn't make a single move.

It just looked down coldly.

Below, the nine figures stood together.

And opposite them.

Were the two black shadows.

The two black shadows were kneeling on the ground.

The black aura on their bodies was constantly dissipating.

Their bodies were gradually becoming weak.

Seeing this scene.

Qin Bei’s heart felt as if it were being torn apart.

He felt.

That these two figures seemed very important to him.
