174: Chapter 174 Nine-Turn Yang-Boosting Pill, Breaking Through Nine Levels—

After seeing the other person retreat and the door close, Qin Feng took the Jade Slip containing the "Spirit-Locking Void-Swallowing Method" into his hands. He studied and pondered it carefully, and only after confirming there were no traps did he smile with satisfaction.

He went to the other side of the bed, took a deep breath, cast aside distracting thoughts, and sat cross-legged to Cultivate. The "Chaos Art" inside his body began to circulate wildly, and he started to recover the True Qi consumed over the past few days.

Time ticked by second by second, the sunlight outside gradually faded, and night fell once more. A few hours later.

Just as the True Qi and Spiritual Qi in the guest room reached a delicate state of balance, a crisp, melodious sound, like the music of the heavens, suddenly rang out without warning in Qin Feng's mind.

[Ding! Detected a qualified subject for assistance, 'Zhao Simin'. Her injuries have completely healed under the Host's treatment and the assistance of the Medicinal Pill!]

[Task: Treat Zhao Simin's injuries, completed with Perfection!] [Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one mysterious System gift package. It has been automatically placed into the System inventory. Please check it!]

The moment he heard the notification, Qin Feng exhaled a long breath of stale air. His tightly closed eyes snapped open, and a flash of uncontrollable ecstasy erupted from the depths of his eyes.

'System, open the gift package for me immediately!' He commanded loudly in his mind, feeling somewhat impatient.

[Ding! The gift package is opening...] [Congratulations to the Host for obtaining one Second-Rank Top-Grade Spirit Pill — 'nine-flavor virility pill'!]

[Item Description: This pill was refined by a master of ancient bedroom secret arts. Although named for virility, it contains pure, violent, extreme Yang fire-attribute Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth. Not only can it greatly enhance a male cultivator's performance in certain areas, but it is also a miraculous medicine for breaking through the Bottleneck of the Qi Refinement Stage!]

nine-flavor virility pill?! Looking at the detailed description of this Medicinal Pill in his mind, the corners of Qin Feng's mouth couldn't help but twitch violently.

Although the name didn't sound very good, the violent, extreme Yang fire-attribute Spiritual Qi was simply the perfect tonic for him, possessing the "Heavenly Tyrant Body"!

"Putting everything else aside, any medicine that allows for a Breakthrough is a good medicine."

Qin Feng gritted his teeth and flipped his wrist. A pill the size of a dragon's eye, crimson all over with nine faint golden lines flickering on its surface and emitting a scorching aroma that made one blush, instantly appeared in his palm.

Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and swallowed the "nine-flavor virility pill".

"Boom — —!!!" The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth, turning into a terrifying, scorching hot current like boiling lava. It flowed down his throat and instantly exploded wildly within his limbs, bones, and Meridians.

"Ugh... so hot!" Veins bulged on Qin Feng's forehead, his entire body turned an eerie crimson red, and even the top of his head began to emit waves of white steam.

Crack — —! A crisp shattering sound that only he could hear rang out from the depths of his Soul.

That sturdy barrier that had troubled him for so long was, under the bombardment of the "nine-flavor virility pill"'s overbearing medicinal power, torn to shreds instantly, just like fragile frost meeting the scorching sun.

"Rumble — —!" The violent True Qi surged like a burst flood into the newly opened Meridians, finally gathering at the Dantian into an even wider, even deeper dark golden True Qi Sea.

Qi Refining Level 8, Qi Refining Level 9, Success!

Feeling the terrifying power within his body, which was many times stronger than before, Qin Feng's mouth curled up slightly, and he exhaled a long breath of stale air.

He lowered his head, looked at the Storage Ring on his hand, and pondered secretly. 'The Spirit-Locking Void-Swallowing Method is already in hand, and now my cultivation has broken through to Qi Refining Level 9...' 'Should I, in one go, strike for the Foundation Establishment Stage tonight?!'

However, just at the critical moment when his expression was changing and he was secretly calculating whether to immediately go into seclusion to attempt the Foundation Establishment Stage Breakthrough, "Boom — —!!!" With a loud noise, dust flew everywhere.

The guest room's sturdy nanmu wood door was, under the bombardment of a powerful, overbearing icy True Qi, kicked to pieces, and countless wood chips splattered everywhere like a rainstorm.

Immediately after, amidst the flying dust, a delicate figure wearing a gorgeous water-blue Fairy dress, with exquisite and arrogant features, yet exuding a bone-chilling, disdainful, terrifying Middle Stage Foundation Establishment pressure from head to toe, walked in slowly with cold and proud steps.

The person who arrived was none other than Zhao Simin, who had previously appeared docile and honest, and whose injuries were now completely healed.

"Hum — —!" Faint ice-blue cold light intertwined and flickered around Zhao Simin's delicate body. She walked gracefully to the wooden table, elegantly lifted her skirt to sit down, and placed her jade-like hands flat on the tabletop.

Her long, slender fingers tapped rhythmically against the somewhat blackened wooden tabletop, making a "tap, tap, tap" sound. She then gazed down from above at the young man sitting cross-legged on the bed. The resentment and madness that had been on her pretty face were gone, replaced by a coldness and indifference that seemed to control everything.

"Qin Feng." Zhao Simin parted her red lips slightly, her voice cold as an icicle under an eave in winter:

"The path of immortal cultivation is a matter of life and death. Struggling in this world, whose hands haven't been stained by a few lives? Regarding your killing of my younger brother, Senior Brother Zhao, for the sake of the bigger picture, this lady can choose not to pursue it. Let this debt be written off here."

At this point, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, flickering with a dangerous cold light as she stared fixedly at the man over there: "Now, in view of your performance yesterday, this lady can show great mercy and give you two more choices."

"First," "You must immediately kneel before this lady, kowtow three times, and from now on have a slave mark planted, acknowledging me as your master! In the future, in this Sunset City, or even back at the Sect, I can keep you as a loyal dog."

"Even... this lady sees that your Aptitude is indeed not bad. If you are obedient and sensible in the future, even if you want to occasionally, like last night... serve this lady so presumptuously... it... it can be reluctantly granted to you once or twice..."

As she said this, a faint flush of red flashed across the usually proud Fairy Zhao's fair neck, but it was quickly covered by even colder frost.

"As for the second..." Zhao Simin's bone-chilling voice still echoed in the air, and the threatening words that followed had not yet been spoken. The young man in black sitting cross-legged on the bed, however, suddenly lowered his head and chuckled.

"Heh..." Qin Feng tilted his head, his smile revealing an arrogance and lawlessness deeply rooted in his bones, and he interrupted her, word by word: "I choose two!"

"Are you determined to seek death?!" Zhao Simin's fingers tapping on the table stopped abruptly. Her entire beautiful face became distorted in an instant due to anger and being slighted, and she roared through gritted teeth, "You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! You mere Qi Refining ant, do you really think this lady cannot kill you?!" "Boom — —!!!"
