Chapter 2605: Amazing Medicinal Effects!

Ye Chen's reason for turning around to comfort Su Ruoli, telling her not to worry or be afraid, was nothing more than to retreat in order to advance, using the strategy of provocation to make Su Ruoli stop refusing his invitation for her to try the medicine.

He knew Su Ruoli quite well; this girl, when she previously served the Su family, although her methods were somewhat ruthless, was nonetheless a person who deeply valued affection and righteousness, and toward him, she could absolutely be loyal and devoted without reservation.

It was precisely because of this that, the moment Ye Chen finished refining the new medicinal pill, he thought of having her help test it.

He was very clear in his heart that the medicinal effect of this pill would necessarily be stronger than the previous Hemostasis and Heart-Saving Pill, and would also have no bad side effects, so for Su Ruoli it would certainly be a good thing.

And Ye Chen's provocation strategy indeed worked; Su Ruoli no longer thought about whether she owed him too many favors, but only thought that she absolutely could not let Ye Chen doubt her loyalty and courage.

Thus, she took the medicinal pill from Ye Chen's hand and asked firmly: "Mr. Ye, should I take the pill now?"

Ye Chen nodded: "Take it, I'll stay by your side to guard you, so there should be no problem."

"Alright!" Su Ruoli slightly nodded, then sat cross-legged on the ground and swiftly placed the pill into her mouth.

Su Ruoli had previously taken the Hemostasis and Heart-Saving Pill, knowing that such a pill would turn into pure medicinal power upon entering the mouth and rush straight to the dantian, so she had also made preparations in advance, waiting to welcome the surging medicinal power.

But she did not expect that the medicinal power inside this pill would far exceed that of the Hemostasis and Heart-Saving Pill she had taken before.

That medicinal power was already surging, rapidly rushing into her eight extraordinary meridians and frenziedly gathering into her dantian.

Before Su Ruoli could react, the sixth meridian was instantly cleared by the medicinal power, and in that instant she became a sixth-stage martial artist!

Sixth-stage martial artists are rare even in the Wanlong Hall, let alone nationwide—finding a second one would be difficult!

Yet, Su Ruoli didn't even have time to rejoice over becoming a sixth-stage martial artist when her seventh meridian was also instantly cleared by the medicinal power!

In the blink of an eye, Su Ruoli rose another level, from sixth-stage to seventh-stage martial artist!

Su Ruoli herself never imagined that her time as a sixth-stage martial artist would total only a brief two or three seconds!

Ye Chen also never expected that Su Ruoli could continuously rise two levels; after all, cultivation becomes harder to advance the further one goes, yet a single pill could raise her from fifth to seventh stage—this is indeed much stronger than the ordinary Hemostasis and Heart-Saving Pill!

Even in the Wanlong Hall, a seventh-stage martial artist in their twenties is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns; the He family, having cultivated martial arts for hundreds of years, could produce a twenty-something seventh-stage martial artist—let alone say it's impossible, even the heads of past generations wouldn't dare to imagine such a thing.

And now, this young girl barely past twenty has officially entered the ranks of seventh-stage martial artists, creating a new record for the He family and even for martial arts families nationwide.

However, at this moment, Su Ruoli's body still contains a large amount of medicinal power, continuously surging toward her eight extraordinary meridians!

And her seven already-opened meridians are clearly unable to bear this powerful medicinal power, which is also rushing toward her eighth meridian!

Thus, Ye Chen was surprised to discover that, under the impact of the vast medicinal power, Su Ruoli's eighth meridian had already shown signs of loosening!

Ye Chen exclaimed in his heart: "Could it be that this single pill could raise Su Ruoli from fifth to eighth stage?!"

Although Su Ruoli could not speak at this moment, her heart was already overturned by surging waves!

She desperately circulated her true qi internally, while inwardly exclaiming: "What kind of pill did Mr. Ye give me... why is its effect so powerful... I now... I am already a seventh-stage martial artist... this... this is too fast, isn't it?!"

Immediately afterward, she also felt the change in her eighth meridian, and inwardly gasped: "This... this eighth meridian—is it also going to be broken through?!"

At this moment, that surging medicinal power was like molten lava about to erupt from a volcano, continuously accumulating energy at the crater, poised for release.

And the crater clearly could no longer contain this surging, powerful energy, constantly trembling, constantly developing cracks, as if it might be completely shattered at any moment.

Ye Chen was also somewhat excited; he constantly observed Su Ruoli's condition, waiting for her eighth meridian to be cleared.

At this moment, the surging medicinal power suddenly burst forth from her originally blocked eighth meridian!

At this moment, Su Ruoli's entire state and aura underwent an earth-shaking transformation!

And at this moment, she officially entered the ranks of eighth-stage martial artists! All eight meridians in her body were completely cleared!

Only then did that powerful medicinal power finally show signs of weakening, gradually being digested by Su Ruoli's body and slowly returning to calm.

Su Ruoli opened her eyes, feeling as if she had just undergone a transformation like shedding her mortal body and being reborn; the senses of an eighth-stage martial artist were clearly several levels higher, and that feeling of sudden enlightenment made her hardly dare believe it was real.

Ye Chen knew that Su Ruoli would certainly not be able to accept this immediately, so he did not rush her, waiting for her to adapt on her own.

At this moment, Su Ruoli had already become somewhat clearer-minded; seeing Ye Chen smiling at her, she could not wait to ask him: "Mr. Ye, what kind of medicine is this, that it has such powerful effects? My body's eight meridians seem to have all been cleared!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Not 'seem'—it is indeed fully cleared. Congratulations, you have now become an eighth-stage martial artist."

Su Ruoli was both astonished and delighted, unable to help but say: "This is too miraculous... just over a month ago, I was only a third-stage martial artist, then I broke through to fifth, and even to eighth... in this lifetime, I never dared imagine that I could one day become an eighth-stage martial artist..."

Having said that, she came to her senses, dropped to her knees on the ground, looked toward Ye Chen, and said respectfully: "Su Ruoli's current position is entirely due to your guidance, Mr. Ye! Your great kindness and virtue, Su Ruoli can never repay! In this life and the next, as long as Su Ruoli lives in this world, she will surely go through fire and water for Mr. Ye to repay your kindness!"

Ye Chen reached out to help her up and said: "Su Ruoli, after you finish your parents' wedding, during this period you must consolidate your cultivation. Your cultivation has risen too quickly recently; although your strength has reached the level of an eighth-stage martial artist, your mindset, practical combat experience, and control over your internal true qi—these soft skills—are still far from the standard of an eighth-stage martial artist."

Su Ruoli suppressed her excitement and said respectfully: "Mr. Ye, rest assured! After my parents' wedding ends, I will definitely enter seclusion to cultivate for a period of time!"

"Good!" Ye Chen nodded satisfactorily and said: "At that time, you will seclude yourself in the He family's villa to cultivate deeply. Once you have solidified the foundation of an eighth-stage martial artist, I will help you break through to the Great Perfection of the Ming Realm, and ultimately become a master of the An Realm!"
