HELP! These Girls Wants To Kill Me-Chapter 248

"....."

"....."

Receiving no reply from the woman, Yang Ze couldn’t help but ask again.

"Young lady... Do you know where we are?"

"I heard you the first time." The woman replied in an irritated voice.

"And?" Ignoring her reaction, Yang Ze still had a smile on his face.

"Piss off."

"....." Her words left Yang Ze speechless. This was the first time he came across such a rude person who outright refused to talk.

He couldn’t help but look at her personal panel once again.

[Name: Lu Miaoyun]

[Age: 36]

[Realm: Mid-Stage Pulse Opening]

[Talent: Firm Heart(white), Firm Will(white)]

Looking at her simple panel, Yang Ze nodded in response before wondering how he should proceed from here. Should he try to talk to her once again, or should he just keep his mouth shut and wait for the rain to be over?

After thinking for a while, Yang Ze still decided to go with the first option.

’But before that...’ Muttering to himself, Yang Ze whispered to himself.

"Sign in to the Firm Heart"

[Sign in successful.]

[Congratulations on getting a Core Condensation Pill.]

"Huh!?" In that instant, Yang Ze’s eyes narrowed into slits, and his breathing almost stopped as he tried his best to suppress his excitement.

In that instant, he threw the idea of wanting to talk to the woman out of his mind. Instead, he simply walked to the corner of the room that was somewhat dark, waved his hand to manifest a warm blanket on the ground and sat comfortably on it. After taking one more look at the woman who was still looking at the fire, he simply took a deep breath and took out the pill.

The Core Condensation Pill was just like the previous cultivation pills that he received as a reward for sign in. The only difference was that compared to the other pills, it had a small pattern on its body.

Yang Ze watched the pill with great interest before using his All-seeing eyes to take a look at its description.

[Core Condensation Pill: A special pill that shouldn’t exist. Capable of letting one master the Elemental energy.]

Just this small description was more than enough to make Yang Ze’s body tremble in excitement. He tightly clenched his fist, hiding the pill, afraid that someone would steal it from him.

Without wasting another moment, he placed it inside his robe and took out the book that Lin Meilin gave him. The book that detailed how to step into the realm of Core Condensation and what one might need or expect.

Earlier, he didn’t have time because of training and then his non-stop journey. Initially, Yang Ze was thinking about reading it after he reached his destination. But now that he had such a treasure, he couldn’t contain his curiosity as he began to read it with great interest.

[To reach the realm of Core Condensation, one needed to master the power of elements and to master the power of elements, one needed Elemental Treasures.]

The very first sentence of the book left Yang Ze speechless.

"What the hell?" Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Yang Ze continued to read.

[One can not simply master the elemental energy just by meditation and looking at the elements. Without the aid of Elemental Treasure, it is an impossible task.]

The more he read, the graver the expression on Yang Ze’s face got.

It took him almost twenty minutes to finish reading the book, and once he did, the previous Excitement on Yang Ze’s face was replaced by a frown.

Though it looked simple, the process of stepping into the Core Condesnation realm was perhaps the most complicated one.

In this world, one can not master the elemental energy just by sitting in meditation as one can do in the lower realms.

One needed to have an elemental treasure upon them.

To master the wind element, one needed to have Wind Treasures. To master the fire element, one needed to have the fire element and so on.

These treasures can be anything from ores to fruits and even herbs. As long as something has Elemental energy in it, one can use it to comprehend the elements.

But the process wasn’t easy either. Not only did one need to refine the treasures, but they also needed more than one such treasure.

Reading the book in a single go, Yang Ze couldn’t help but let out a sharp breath. Who would have thought that the process would be this complicated?

Initially, he was thinking about going to the Imperial City and sit there in meditation until he stepped into the Core Condensation realm before going to get the treasure. But after reading everything, he didn’t think it was possible.

"Hopefully, this pill is effective." Thinking about all the previous pills that helped him tremendously, he couldn’t help but take in a deep breath.

"Should I try?" Yang Ze couldn’t help but ask himself. With the pill and the technique in his hand, it was hard for him to calm down. He wanted to see just how effective the pill was and whether it would be possible for him to step into the Core Condensation realm in this ruined building.

Yang Ze didn’t have to think too much. In the end, he waved his hand, planting innumerable thorns in the ground around him, which he then hid with his illusion. And if that wasn’t enough, he even created a protective metal covering around him in the shape of a dome that too was hidden by the illusion.

Now, even if the woman wanted to attack, she wouldn’t be able to reach near him, much less harm him.

Nodding in satisfaction, Yang Ze finally threw the pill in his mouth and sat cross-legged in meditation before using his Enlightenment.

The moment the pill touched his lips, it turned into a warm current that rushed toward his Dantian.

Without wasting another moment, Yang Ze hurriedly began to circulate his internal energy as mentioned in the book, hoping to establish a connection with the elemental energy and sure enough, in the next instant, the world around him changed as he found himself standing in a void, surrounded by innumerable dense specs of light. Some were blue, some red, some brown, some green and some pure white. Just a look at them, and Yang Ze already knew what they were.

"Elements." He couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. Everything was exactly as the book described. The only difference was that instead of a few specks of light, his entire surroundings were filled with them.

"Is it due to the pill?" In the book, it was written clearly that while refining the Elemental treasure, one will see the Elements around them. Though unlike Yang Ze, who was surrounded by every single kind of element, they would only be able to see the specific element related to the treasure they were refining.

"....." Yang Ze didn’t think too much about it. Every second was precious... So instead of wasting his time thinking about some random facts, it was better to try to integrate this elemental energy into his body.

For others, this process might have been extremely difficult. Most of the people even fail in their first five or so tries.

But not Yang Ze...

Under the state of Enlightenment, what should have been an arduous and tiresome process was now reduced to just a few breaths of time.

Yang Ze merely willed it, and the next instant, the elemental energy began to rush into his body like a broken dam. And before he knew it, inside his dantian, where his Foundation Forging pillar was, the specs of lights began to gather at a rapid pace, slowly turning into a small fist-sized ball.

This was the characteristic of a Core Condensation realm...

A core that was made entirely of Elemental energy, supported by the foundation of Internal energy.

Under the effect of the Enlightenment, Yang Ze watched calmly as the elemental energy gathered more and more inside his dantian. Instead of just one element, it was all of them.

For a moment, even Yang Ze didn’t dare to imagine what would happen once all the elemental energy condensed into the core. Would he be able to use all five elements instead of just one? Would it mean he had stepped at the peak of the Core Condenstaion realm?

The more Yang Ze thought about it, the more it seemed to be the case.

Under his expectant gaze, time slowly passed. And after what felt like an eternity, Yang Ze finally saw a small core appearing on the top of his foundation forging pillar.

"SUCCESS?" Yang Ze almost jumped in excitement. Even he didn’t dare to believe that he managed to accomplish something so grand this easily? While it was true that it was accomplished with the help of the pill, his own efforts were equally responsible.

Holding his breath, Yang Ze looked at the core that was slowly rotating above his foundation forging with a face full of smiles.

But before he even had time to be happy, the foundation forging pillar in his body trembled violently.

"What the hell?"

"What’s going on?"

Startled by the sudden changes, Yang Ze couldn’t help but look around in confusion.

His first thought was that it was due to the formation of the core, but the more he looked, the more he found something amiss.

The violent tremors in his foundation forging pillar grew increasingly rapid, and before he could even react, a burst of golden light appeared from the pillar, turning Yang Ze’s dantian golden. But the golden light didn’t just stop there. It began to rampage everywhere as if it were enraged.

"This... this..." Yang Ze watched with his mouth agape as the golden light rushed towards the newly formed core that was resting above the foundation forging pillar.

It was as if the golden light was offended by its mere presence.

"NO.... WHAT THE HELL?" Yang Ze cried out in horror as the golden light rushed to the newly formed core, and the moment it touched the core, the core cracked before shattering into dust.

"..."

"..."

"AAAAAHHHHHHHH"

Looking at his newly formed core that broke before he could even use it, Yang Ze almost spurted a mouthful of blood in anger.

"What the hell is going on?" Yang Ze couldn’t help but grit his teeth in anger. He hadn’t read anything like this in the book.

"TRY IT AGAIN." Taking a deep breath, he hurriedly focused on the elemental energy once again, trying to condense another core, but by this time, the effect of the pill had expired, and in the next instant, Yang Ze found himself once again sitting in the old ruined building with not a single spec of elemental energy around him.

"....."

"....."

"AAH GOD DAMNIT." Yang Ze almost cursed out loud.

This was the first time he faced something like this. Not only was the pill gone, but even the core that he barely managed to condense shattered for some reason.

"That damned Golden energy." Yang Ze was sure that it happened because of that damned thing.

"Like a loach..." The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Not only did this golden energy interrupt his progress in the Vein Expansion realm, but it was also making things difficult for him now.

"I don’t believe I can not do anything about it." Gritting his teeth in anger, Yang Ze decided to form a core the moment he got another pill.

"Can you shut up?" It was at this moment that an annoyed voice sounded in Yang Ze’s ears, bringing him out of his stupor.

"Bla bla bla... bla bla bla..."

"For someone with a foot in his grave, you sure do talk a lot."

Listening to such harsh words, Yang Ze finally took a good look at the woman sitting beside the campfire.

The woman was in his thirties with the mature, charming face of a married woman. Although not exquisitely beautiful, her face had a different kind of charm. As for her body... even though it was nowhere near the woman like Lin Meilin and others, it was decent.

"How about this?" Without waiting for Yang Ze to speak, she spoke further.

"I will answer your questions and, in turn, shut the hell up."

"...."

"...."

"Okay." Yang Ze thought for a moment before nodding in response.

"Can you tell me about the Redcloud Imperial City?"

The moment Yang Ze asked this question, the woman’s expression stiffened, and she turned around to take a good look at the old man sitting behind her.

She glanced at him from top to bottom, as if wanting to see through him. But the only thing she saw was an ordinary old man in his eighties.

"Why?"

"Do you want to go there?"

She couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

"Didn’t you say that you would answer me?" Yang Ze didn’t answer her but instead asked with a smile.

"Hmph!" The woman simply let out a cold snort before turning to face the fire.

And just when Yang Ze thought she wasn’t going to answer him, the woman used the stick in her hand to move the logs a bit before speaking in a flat tone.

"If you want to visit the imperial city, I would suggest you give up on such a ridiculous idea."

"In the imperial city..."

"Only Women are allowed."

"....."

"....."

"HUUUUUUUUUUH!?"
