Chapter 990: Chapter 93-94: Tenfold Amplification, Cave Heaven Fifth Layer Perfection! (Double-Length)

Divine Rank Ninth Grade Elixir!

The power contained in the Nine Suns Body Tempering Pill shocked Shen Changqing.

Under the impact of surging power.

One closed secret storehouse after another was opened up.

When that force was exhausted.

His flesh trembled slightly, and his tightly closed eyes opened accordingly.

"Whew!"

A long breath exhaled.

His heart sank into his flesh, observing the secret storehouses that were opened up, a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Nine Suns Body Tempering Pill!

It truly lives up to being a Divine Rank Ninth Grade elixir.

The energy contained within may not be as overwhelming as the Heart of Large Spirit Vein, but it possesses a pure and scorching aura that tempers the physique, making the flesh tough. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Once the residual power of the elixir settled.

Shen Changqing once again took one out and swallowed it.

——

Boom!!

Blazing and surging power rampaged within the grand hall, such was the magnitude of this power that the hall seemed to transform into a scorching furnace.

In the center of the hall.

Shen Changqing’s flesh was crimson, resembling a cooked shrimp.

The next moment.

The crimson skin returned to normal.

Immediately after.

Crimson again.

Such cycles repeated endlessly, like reincarnation.

Long after.

His tightly closed eyes opened, the scorching aura erupted like a volcano, rushing towards every corner of the hall.

The protective array trembled.

Blocking all this power completely.

However, this impact didn’t last long, eventually settling down.

"Cave Heaven Perfection Fourth Level!"

Observing the transformation within his flesh, Shen Changqing’s lips curled into a faint smile.

Swallowing ten bottles of the Nine Suns Body Tempering Pill in one go elevated his flesh from the Middle Stage of the Fourth Level of Cave Heaven to the stage of Perfection.

To advance further would be the Fifth Level of Cave Heaven.

Undoubtedly.

The energy within the Divine Rank elixir is truly astounding.

In the same circumstances, the Heart of Spirit Vein seems somewhat lacking.

Ten bottles of the Nine Suns Body Tempering Pill only equate to five Sun and Moon Divine Crystals, whereas it is equivalent to five Large Spirit Vein Hearts.

Yet.

Five Large Spirit Vein Hearts are insufficient to push one’s self from the Middle Stage of the Fourth Level of Cave Heaven directly to Cave Heaven Perfection.

When compared,

The gap becomes evident.

"However—"

"Consuming elixirs for breakthroughs does come with limitations."

While Shen Changqing was viewing his flesh internally, he could see residual impurities scattered everywhere.

Pill Poison!

All medicine is poisonous to some degree!

Even Divine Rank elixirs cannot escape this scope.

Moreover.

A powerful elixir also leaves behind strong residues.

If too much pill poison accumulates, then the qi and blood become turbid, and strength is greatly diminished.

Currently.

After swallowing ten bottles of the Nine Suns Body Tempering Pill, considerable pill poison accumulated in his flesh, and if not expelled, the consequences would be dire.

Refining the Heart of Spirit Vein eliminates such toxicity.

After all, cultivators rely on Spiritual Energy, and if it were toxic, how would cultivators ascend step by step?

Observing the pill poison within his flesh, Shen Changqing’s smile slightly faded: "Before expelling all this pill poison, I cannot consume more elixir for cultivation."

Expelling pill poison.

Is not complicated.

It merely requires a bit more time.

To cultivate entirely using the Heart of Spirit Vein would consume too much, which he cannot afford.

Instead, it’s wiser to use elixirs for cultivation, merely needing time to eliminate the pill poison.

Time.

He can afford to spend it.

——

For several months.

Shen Changqing remained in the grand hall, not stepping out once.

Sitting motionless on the meditation mat, dark red energy lingered around him.

Until a certain moment.

His steadfast body trembled.

All the lingering dark red energy, as if struck by intense force, dispersed instantly.

Thus.

All the pill poison had been expelled.

After completing these tasks, Shen Changqing wasted no time and opened the bottle containing the Supreme Heavenly Origin Pill.

Similar light impact.

But this time, he was prepared, immediately suppressing it when the elixir left its bottle.

In his palm, ten cyan elixirs trembled incessantly.

"Supreme Heavenly Origin Pill!"

"I want to see the true difference between a Divine Rank Tenth Grade elixir and a Divine Rank Ninth Grade elixir!"

Contemplating this.

Shen Changqing opened his mouth and swallowed one of the elixirs.

Being cautious.

He did not swallow all ten elixirs at once.

Divine Rank elixirs are formidable.

The overwhelming energy within is astonishing, swallowing too many at once risks the flesh exploding.

Once the elixir was ingested.

No explosive scorching aura like the Nine Suns Body Tempering Pill.

Only an extremely pure energy flowed like a clear stream, rushing through his flesh.

Divine Sense descended.

A powerful intention combined with qi and blood forcefully guided this energy to impact a certain area within his flesh.

Boom!!

The tightly sealed secret storehouses opened with a slight tremble under this overwhelming energy.

After a long time—

The power of the elixir diminished.

Observing the acupoints opened by the elixir’s energy, Shen Changqing’s face showed no joy or sorrow.

"A Divine Rank Tenth Grade elixir should inherently be much stronger than a Divine Rank Ninth Grade elixir, yet the secret storehouses opened are not much more than those opened by a Ninth Grade elixir."
