C4 Ling Yuan Dan
Ji Lei carried the Body Tempering Pill and ran back to his house as fast as he could. He tightly locked the door, then jumped onto the bed, crossed his legs and began to recuperate.
He was not in a hurry to swallow the Body Tempering Pill. Such a good item could only be maximized when Ji Lei was in his best condition.
After closing his eyes and meditating for around an hour, Ji Lei finally calmed down. Then, he slowly opened his eyes and took out ten Body Tempering Pill and swallowed them all in one go.
The Body Tempering Pill just entered Ji Lei's body, and immediately, it melted in his stomach, and all the pure Spirit Qi contained inside immediately burst out and went into Ji Lei's limbs and bones along the meridians. Ji Lei was suddenly hit by the Spirit Qi and when Ji Lei came back to his senses, the Spirit Qi had already begun to play a role.
The Unparalleled Martial Soul was crazily devouring the spirit energy of the ten Body Tempering Pill. At the same time, Ji Lei's body was also constantly fighting with the Unparalleled Martial Soul to extract the limited amount of spirit energy. This was because a portion of the spiritual qi that originally belonged to him had to be divided by the Unparalleled Martial Soul. That was to say, if Ji Lei wanted his martial spirit's level to be balanced with his martial arts cultivation, he would need to absorb more spiritual qi than normal people to make up for it.
The Unparalleled Martial Soul's appetite was like an unfathomable abyss, after absorbing the spiritual energy, it would never vomit again. Ji Lei could only helplessly collect the spiritual energy left over from the Unparalleled Martial Soul's meal.
After a while, Ji Lei's body returned to normal. There was no more spirit energy in it, and there was no sign of him leveling up with his own cultivation and Unparalleled Martial Soul level.
"This Martial Spirit is really something to burn money." Ji Lei sighed. If he wanted to level up, Ji Lei reckoned that he would need to be at the Body Tempering Pill at all times.
Thinking about this, Ji Lei took out the Body Tempering Pill he got from Ji Cang. After swallowing it, an even denser amount of spiritual energy blossomed from Ji Lei's body. Ji Lei and the Unparalleled Martial Soul once again fought over spiritual energy …
After an hour, Ji Lei felt that there was a pure energy in his body that wanted to continuously attack the barrier of the martial way. Ji Lei focused his mind to bring out the greatest amount of energy, and facing his first martial arts attack, Ji Lei did not dare to be careless.
The pure energy kept crashing into Ji Lei's body, the feeling of being blocked by the spiritual qi until it reached its peak became weaker and weaker.
"Sssii!"
Suddenly, a hole was torn open in the sealing barrier. The spiritual energy continued to climb through the gap. Ji Lei's heart was empty as a sense of exhilaration spread throughout his body.
"Second stage of the Body Tempering Stage!" Ji Lei was unable to contain his joy. After spending twenty-five Body Tempering Pill, Ji Lei had finally taken the first step on the long road of martial arts!
At the same time, the silent Unparalleled Martial Soul also released a dazzling brilliance. Two black beads gradually appeared on the blurry little dragon's body, giving it an appearance full of spirituality.
"The Unparalleled Martial Soul has levelled up!" Seeing the eyes of the Unparalleled Martial Soul, Ji Lei's head was struck by the happiness. He felt that everything was real and that he was lost in a beautiful dream.
With eyes, the Unparalleled Martial Soul seemed to be more intelligent. The more Ji Lei looked, the more he liked it.
"Dong, dong, dong." Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Ji Lei was puzzled, who would come looking for him at this time? Had Ji Cang brought his father to find him?
Ji Lei quickly raised his guard and was ready to face the menacing foes at his doorstep.
The moment he opened the door, Ji Lei circulated all the spiritual energy in his body. Just as he was about to rush to the door, the spiritual energy suddenly stopped when he saw who it was.
"Father?" "Why are you here?" Ji Lei looked at the figure standing at the door in astonishment. The one who had come was none other than his own father, the current Patriarch of Ji Family, Ji Zhen.
"I came to see you." Ji Zhen patted Ji Lei's head and said with a kind smile, "I'll give you something along the way."
"Oh?" Ji Lei was a bit surprised. Previously, Ji Zhen rarely gave things to him on his own accord. However, ever since Ji Lei was determined to be trash, Ji Zhen, who had always been indifferent to Ji Lei, actually came to him on his own accord.
Ji Lei couldn't help but sigh. His father was indeed his father. Although he couldn't always take care of himself, but at this time, Ji Zhen would undoubtedly stand behind him and act as his most solid shield.
Ji Zhen fumbled in his chest for a moment, then took out a small wooden box and stuffed it into Ji Lei's palm. "Take this."
"What is this?" Ji Lei opened the wooden box in confusion, but found that what was inside was actually a dark green pill.
"This is …" Ji Lei's eyes gradually widened, his expression full of shock: "Spiritual Essence Pill?"
Ji Zhen nodded with a smile, "A friend from my Alchemist gave it to me. It's of no use to me, so I gave it to you."
Hearing that, Ji Lei's nose twitched. Who in this world would think that Spiritual Essence Pill were useless? This was a second grade spirit pellet that was even more precious than the Body Tempering Pill!
The pellets were divided into nine grades. As a second rank pellet, one pellet was enough to exchange for a hundred Body Tempering Pill. The higher the quality, the more expensive the Spiritual Essence Pill. How would Ji Zhen know any Alchemist friends? An existence like the Alchemist was always out of his reach. Even if Ji Zhen was the Patriarch of Ji Family, a mere Patriarch wasn't even worth mentioning to the Alchemist.
Thinking about Ji Lei's need, he gave it to Ji Lei, but if he gave Ji Lei a small Spiritual Essence Pill, then Ji Zhen would definitely receive a lot of criticism from the Elders Guild. The Elders Guild's Great Elder and Second Elder did not like Ji Zhen's behavior and were dishonest to begin with, so if the Elders Guild knew that Ji Zhen had done such an outrageous thing, they would definitely not let him off so easily!
"Father, this Spiritual Essence Pill is very precious, right?" Although Ji Lei yearned for the Spiritual Essence Pill, he still wanted to be able to understand the seriousness of the matter. Taking the Spiritual Essence Pill as a gift was equivalent to pushing his father up the cliff.
"No matter how expensive it is, it's not as expensive as my son." Ji Zhen smiled and patted Ji Lei's shoulder: "It's just a Spiritual Essence Pill, it's not a big deal."
"But …" Ji Lei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ji Zhen: "Don't say anymore, listen to father, this Spiritual Essence Pill is good for you, we have no way to obtain a Martial Spirit, but your father will help you level up your martial arts at all costs!"
Seeing Ji Zhen's determined and earnest gaze, Ji Lei's eyes started to tear up, but in the end, he no longer evaded and kept the Spiritual Essence Pill in his pocket.
Seeing Ji Lei obediently accept the Spiritual Essence Pill, a smile appeared in Ji Zhen's eyes. He sat and chatted with Ji Lei for a while before he left Ji Lei's room.
Ji Zhen's leaving figure gave off an inexplicable sense of bleakness. Ji Lei looked at it and a line of tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes.
Only the heavens knew how severe the attacks of the elders would be after Ji Zhen gave the Spiritual Essence Pill to Ji Lei.
Withdrawing his mind, Ji Lei looked at the Spiritual Essence Pill in his hands. Ji Zhen did not hesitate to take the risk of being criticized by the Ji Family up and down, and brought a Spiritual Essence Pill for Ji Lei. It wasn't for Ji Lei to feel sorry for the Spiritual Essence Pill.
After wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes, Ji Lei sat down again. After waiting for an hour, he suddenly raised his head and swallowed the entire Spiritual Essence Pill.
