Fang Chen now truly understood why the original owner had ultimately chosen to walk the path of demonic cultivation.
Putting aside murdering family and friends and falling into demonic cultivation, just speaking purely about using this path to improve one’s aptitude, it wasn’t entirely incomprehensible!
However, Fang Chen also glimpsed from a side angle just how powerful the Fang family truly was, to be able to procure so many precious pills for Fang Chen!
At this moment, Hua Qirong, to express comfort, patted Fang Chen’s shoulder with her jade-like hand and asked again, “Since you don’t need these three types of pills, then what else do you want?”
Fang Chen sighed and said, “In that case, please give this disciple the Shattered Jade Pill, Elder Hua!”
“Shattered Jade Pill?”
Hua Qirong slightly furrowed her brows, “You mean the Shattered Jade Pill that helps Qi Condensation disciples improve their cultivation?”
“Correct!”
Fang Chen nodded. Since there was no way to improve his own aptitude, then as a senior brother, he naturally had to give Xiao Qing a boost!
Junior Brother Xiao, this is all your senior brother can do for you!
Unexpectedly, Hua Qirong shook her head and said, “I can’t give it to you.”
“Why? Is this pill too precious?”
Fang Chen was taken aback.
“How could that be? Although the Shattered Jade Pill is indeed expensive, to me it’s a completely worthless pill.”
As she said this, Hua Qirong revealed a hint of pride, “If you want it, what’s the big deal if I give you a whole bottle?”
Hearing this, Fang Chen’s breathing instantly became rapid…
Hua Qirong explained, “It’s just that the effect of this pill on you is truly minimal.”
“Because, the prerequisite for taking the Shattered Jade Pill is that the better your talent, the better the pill’s effect. You…”
At this point, Hua Qirong glanced at Fang Chen, feeling she shouldn’t hurt his heart any further, so she obviously changed the subject abruptly, “Also, the most appealing aspect of the Shattered Jade Pill is the probability that with a single ingestion, one could directly advance one level!”
“But you are already at Qi Condensation ninth layer, with no possibility of advancing another level. This pill can’t help you reach Foundation Establishment either…”
“So, this is useless to you. You should consider other options.”
But Fang Chen shook his head without hesitation, “Elder Hua, this disciple’s mind is made up. Please grant this disciple the Shattered Jade Pill!”
He felt a gambling urge stirring deep within!
A probability of direct advancement?
Then Xiao Qing, as the child of Providence and the ultimate lucky emperor, wouldn’t this probability be greatly increased?
According to the system’s calculations, Xiao Qing would reach Qi Condensation seventh grade in half a month. With this entire bottle of Shattered Jade Pills, isn’t it guaranteed to at least get him to Qi Condensation eighth grade?
And a child of Providence at Qi Condensation eighth grade meant he could fight at Qi Condensation ninth grade, unleash full power at Foundation Establishment first grade, exhaust all his trump cards at Foundation Establishment second grade, and at life-and-death moments reach Foundation Establishment third grade…
Simply rounding up, if Xiao Qing takes this pill, Fang Chen directly becomes Golden Core!
Shouldn’t he go all-in?
“Ah…”
Looking at Fang Chen for a moment, Hua Qirong sighed softly, took out a jade bottle, and tossed it to Fang Chen, “This contains about one furnace’s worth. I didn’t count precisely. I refined it during some practice session years ago. Take it.” This chapter was taken from novelping(.)com without permission.
“However, don’t be greedy. A cultivator’s body has limits. Eating too much will explode you.”
Fang Chen hurriedly caught it, then bowed and clasped his hands in thanks, “Yes, this disciple respectfully follows your teachings. Thank you, Elder Hua!”
Hua Qirong continued, “Also, take this bottle of pills as thanks for the music score you gave me.”
“As for the reward for passing through the Sound Forest, go back and think carefully, figure out how to maximize the use of this reward, then come ask me.”
“Finally, I hope next time you come, you’ll bring even better music!”
Hearing this, Fang Chen was stunned, followed by ecstatic joy.
He never expected Hua Qirong to be so generous!
Truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and broad-minded!
He looked up, about to thank her, but who knew Hua Qirong had already disappeared.
Seeing this, Fang Chen could only bow to the air, “Thank you, Elder Hua.”
After expressing gratitude, Fang Chen turned and left.
Back at Yunyun Peak, having already returned to the Sound Forest and standing by the zither, Hua Qirong sighed, “Still so young after all.”
Fang Chen’s obsession with improving his cultivation, especially taking the Shattered Jade Pill back to do useless work, somewhat disappointed her.
She also understood that for those cultivating the Dao, obsession with cultivation level was completely normal.
Especially since Fang Chen was only in his twenties, it was just human nature!
But she felt that since Fang Chen was so skilled in the Music Dao, his temperament, wisdom, and pursuits must be different from other cultivators!
Yet now it seemed, setting aside those heart-wrenching strings of music, Fang Chen’s actions were ultimately just those of an ordinary person.
Thinking this, Hua Qirong couldn’t help but laugh at herself.
Wasn’t she often fond of doing useless work when she was young? Why, after cultivating the Dao for so many years, was she being so harsh towards a junior?
Seems she was getting old…
Finally, Hua Qirong collected her thoughts, put away the zither, and calmly said to the outside, “Xiao Peng, go to Chizun Mountain and call Wan’er over!”
From outside immediately came a terrified reply, “Yes, Peak Master!”
…
Fang Chen quickly returned from the Sea Turtle Platform to the summit of Yingguang Lake Mountain.
Going directly down to the foot of the mountain, Fang Chen then arrived at Xiao Qing’s small hut.
“Senior Brother, why are you here?!”
Seeing Fang Chen return so quickly, Xiao Qing was slightly surprised.
“This is for you!”
Fang Chen directly took out the Shattered Jade Pill and handed it to Xiao Qing.
The way to improve Xiao Qing’s strength in a short time was to take pills! This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Fang Chen silently thought to himself… hoping the child of Providence won’t let him down!
“What is this?”
Xiao Qing was stunned.
“Just eat it. Your senior brother won’t harm you.”
After saying this, Fang Chen turned and left, leaving Xiao Qing only with a tall, imposing silhouette.
Watching Fang Chen’s retreating figure, Xiao Qing hadn’t even had time to open his mouth to refuse.
Right at this moment.
Within Xiao Qing’s body, an aged voice chuckled lightly, “Heh heh, a whole bottle of Shattered Jade Pill. Your Senior Brother Fang truly thinks highly of you!”
“Kid, don’t you dare disappoint his expectations!”
Xiao Qing was immediately shocked, “What? A whole bottle of Shattered Jade Pill?!”
As a Qi Condensation cultivator, how could he not have heard of this pill?
He thought the bottle Fang Chen gave him might contain something like Condensing Qi Pills or Reviving Spring Pills, but he never expected it to be such a precious thing!
You must know, while Hua Qirong treated the Shattered Jade Pill as trash, for any Qi Condensation cultivator, the Shattered Jade Pill was a rare treasure.
Especially given Xiao Qing’s current situation, the Shattered Jade Pill was even more incomparably valuable.
Not to mention a whole bottle!
“No, this is too precious. I must return it to Senior Brother Fang.”
Xiao Qing immediately wanted to set out.
But Venerable Xiaoyao inside Xiao Qing stopped him, “Enough, he deliberately didn’t tell you what this pill was just now because he was afraid you’d refuse.”
“If you chase after him to return it now, aren’t you just causing him more trouble?”
“Besides, he’s already at Qi Condensation ninth grade. The Shattered Jade Pill has minimal effect on him. So, this bottle of pills was clearly obtained specifically for you!”
“Take it and use it with peace of mind. Cultivate with all your strength. Once your cultivation improves, you can repay his kindness!”
Hearing this, a look of hesitation appeared on Xiao Qing’s face, finally turning into firm determination, “Yes!”
“In that case, I absolutely won’t let Senior Brother Fang down. I’ll seize every minute and second to practice cultivation!”
Meanwhile.
As Fang Chen walked halfway up the mountain, he received a system prompt in his mind:
“Ding-“
“Currently detecting that the child of Providence, Xiao Qing, during the future life-and-death battle with the Host, will break through to Qi Condensation ninth grade, while possessing the ability to fight above his grade, comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator. At life-and-death moments, he can briefly unleash combat power at Foundation Establishment second grade…”
Fang Chen was immediately overjoyed…
