Chapter 1003 - The Vitality Pills (2/2)
He Ziwei didn’t say anything, but her eyes were filled with concern.
“I’m fine.” Qin Haodong said and smiled at the two girls.
Niu Cuihua then asked, “How is it? Did you get the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits?”
“Over here.”
Qin Haodong flipped his wrist over and five bright red Earthvein Spiritual Fruits appeared in his palm. The whole Seven Storeys Pagoda was filled with a rich fragrance.
“So beautiful!”
He Ziwei held one of the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits in her hand and fondled it. It looked more like a gem.
Niu Cuihua also grabbed one and said, “This fruit smells so good. Can I eat one?”
She pretended to bite it, but Qin Haodong quickly said, “No, you can’t.”
Niu Cuihua pouted and said, “You’re so stingy. There are five in total. What’s the big deal even if you give one to each of us?”
Qin Haodong said with a wry smile, “It’s not about being stingy. You’re not a demonic beast. You’ll explode if you eat the Earthvein Spiritual Fruit directly.”
Compared with demonic beasts, human bodies and meridians were much weaker, so these fruits had to be refined into pills for humans. If one directly ate the fruit, there would not be any benefit but one would also lose his or her life.
“Well, I’ll give it back to you first.”
Niu Cuihua put the Earthvein Spiritual Fruit back in Qin Haodong’s hand and said, “How did you get them?”
Qin Haodong told the story from beginning to end and finally said, “Fortunately, these people from the Dragon Kingdom came over to get these fruits. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to lure the Earth Bear out.”
Niu Cuihua smiled and said, “The people of the Dragon Kingdom are really stupid. They fought outside, but in the end, they did you a big favor.”
He Ziwei smiled. “How are they doing now? Do they know that the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits have gone missing?”
Qin Haodong said, “When I came out, the Earth Bear had just discovered that something was wrong. I guess that it is taking it out on them now.”
After saying that, he summoned the Three-legged Golden Toad.
It was attracted by the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits in Qin Haodong’s hand as soon as it came out. There was a greedy look in its eyes. It rubbed its big head against Qin Haodong’s leg ceaselessly.
“It’s useless trying to curry favor with me. I can only give you one to help you increase the power of your bloodline,” Qin Haodong said and threw one Earthvein Spiritual Fruit to it.
The Three-legged Golden Toad rolled out its tongue and swallowed it directly.
Niu Cuihua said, “This demonic beast can directly swallow it, which is a good thing. We don’t even know if this fruit will be helpful for it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the Three-legged Golden Toad plopped onto the ground and fell asleep.
Qin Haodong said, “It seems to be useful. When it wakes up, it should become an eighth-level demonic beast.”
After that, he put the Three-legged Golden Toad back into the Spirit Beast Pouch.
He Ziwei asked, “When are we going back?”
Qin Haodong said, “No hurry. I’ll refine a furnace of Vitality Pills for you to improve your cultivation before we go out.”
Niu Cuihua said, “You are only at the stage of the Combination Realm now. Can you refine eighth-level pills?”
“I can give it a try but I will need your help.”
There was no problem with Qin Haodong’s alchemy skills. What he lacked now was cultivation.
After the transmission of cultivation last time, he felt that he could let Niu Cuihua help him this time.
He took out the Shennong Furnace and sat cross-legged. He asked Niu Cuihua to sit behind him, put her right hand on the Mingmen acupoint of his back, and slowly transfer Genuine Qi over to him.
He could use Niu Cuihua’s Genuine Qi to temporarily promote his cultivation to the early stage of the Grand Completion Realm. However, this was only temporary. As long as Niu Cuihua withdrew her hand, he would immediately return to his original state, and his cultivation would be back to the stage of the Combination Realm.
Moreover, Niu Cuihua’s mental force would be used up during this transmission of cultivation, so she couldn’t hold on for too long and Qin Haodong had to refine the pills as soon as possible.
First, he threw the Earthvein Spiritual Fruits into the Shennong Furnace. Then, he took out the corresponding medicinal materials for refining the Vitality Pills and also threw them into the Shennong Furnace, one by one.
About an hour later, a strong pill fragrance wafted out. Then, seven red Vitality Pills flew out of Shennong Furnace and fell into the jade bottle in Qin Haodong’s hand.
“Great!”
Qin Haodong breathed a sigh of relief. His forehead was covered with sweat. He had just used Niu Cuihua’s Genuine Qi to refine pills, which consumed a lot of his mental force.
He took out two Vitality Pills and gave one each to Niu Cuihua and He Ziwei.
“Have a try. See what will happen!”
They swallowed the pills and began to cultivate to improve their cultivation.
Time ticked by. About an hour later, He Ziwei was the first to break through. Moreover, she broke through two levels in succession and directly reached the final stage of the Combination Realm.
After her, Niu Cuihua’s momentum suddenly rose to the late stage of the Grand Completion Realm.
Both of them successfully broke through. After a moment of hesitation, Qin Haodong also took out the low-level Immortal Crystals and began to break through the bottleneck of the Grand Completion Realm.
When he was in Rosefinch Kingdom, a low-level Immortal Crystal allowed him to reach the middle stage of the Combination Realm from the early stage of the Combination Realm. Now, he had 16 low-level Immortal Crystals, so he should be able to break through successfully.
