Chapter 48

At this moment, inside the tower, Xiao Yan had been cultivating all night. The Fiery Flame Technique he used had become much more proficient, no longer as clumsy as it was at the beginning. Each time it circulated within Xiao Yan’s body, it emitted a rumbling sound, which slowly drifted through the cultivation floor.

“Huff—”

After circulating the Fiery Flame Technique several more times, Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction and slowly opened his eyes. After a night of continuous circulation, a hint of heat had appeared in the aura within Xiao Yan’s body, which should be due to the complete Fiery Flame Technique.

“I can absorb the pills now.” Xiao Yan licked his lips and muttered to himself.

A light flashed in his hand, and a jade bottle appeared. Instantly, the cultivation floor was filled with the fragrance of pills. These Imperial-grade pills were naturally refined by Xiao Long for Xiao Yan. According to Xiao Long, these pills were all beneficial for cultivation. Xiao Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit hopeful about whether absorbing them could help him reach the peak of the Mid-stage One-star Sovereign realm.

Xiao Yan looked at the pills in the jade bottle, which were brimming with immense energy, and couldn’t help but swallow hard.

There were five Imperial-grade pills in the jade bottle. Xiao Yan carefully poured one out and placed it in his palm, immediately feeling a surge of power throughout his body.

With a light flick of his hand, the pill instantly transformed into a beam of light and entered Xiao Yan’s mouth. As soon as it entered, a massive amount of energy surged forth, and Xiao Yan quickly gathered the energy, slowly absorbing it.

Xiao Yan’s aura rapidly soared. Under the combined refinement of his battle qi and the Chaotic Holy Flame, it didn’t last long before his originally surging aura gradually slowed down. The Imperial-grade pills simply couldn’t satisfy Xiao Yan’s current needs, and he could only let out a helpless smile. The energy required for his current advancement was truly enormous.

Without further thought, Xiao Yan poured out another Imperial-grade pill from the jade bottle and placed it in his mouth. He found that the energy of this second pill seemed even more concentrated than the first.

As Xiao Yan continued to cultivate, the power in the cultivation floor surged again, and a powerful sense of oppression immediately swept over his entire body.

However, as soon as this oppressive feeling arose, a mysterious energy also emerged within Xiao Yan’s body. This energy was incredibly concentrated and slowly refined Xiao Yan’s battle qi. The battle qi that originally filled all the meridians in Xiao Yan’s body became even more abundant as he gradually absorbed the Imperial-grade pills and this mysterious, concentrated energy.

Each time he absorbed, a bright light would flare up at the connections between the meridians, and each meridian seemed to expand slightly as Xiao Yan absorbed.

Before long, Xiao Yan had absorbed the second pill. At the rate Xiao Yan was absorbing, these five Imperial-grade pills would probably last only a few hours.
