Chapter 11

~~

If it were ordinary "Body Tempering Pills" or "Muscle and Bone Strengthening Pills," Ye Wei might have accepted them, but the value of the "Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pill" was simply too great!

A single "Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pill" cost at least five hundred silver coins, and Miss Ziyan handed Ye Wei an entire bottle, containing ten pills, worth more than five thousand silver coins.

What was the concept of five thousand silver coins?

The Ye family was considered a wealthy household in Qingyue City, but Ye Wei's monthly living expenses were only twenty silver coins, and thirty silver coins were enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for a month.

Lin Ziyuan was indeed very generous. Although Ye Wei knew that Lin Ziyuan was not an ordinary person, he never imagined that she was so wealthy.

"These can be considered as my payment to you. Take them!" Lin Ziyuan said, concerned that Ye Wei's self-esteem might be hurt.

Ye Wei thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll take one!"

"Now that you're my little brother, if you don't accept this small amount of 'Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pills,' are you looking down on your big sister?" Lin Ziyuan raised her eyebrows slightly.

"… Alright." Ye Wei finally nodded, accepting Lin Ziyuan's gift, feeling deeply grateful. He indeed needed these "Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pills" very much.

"That's better!" Lin Ziyuan finally smiled, pulling Ye Wei's arm and said, "Let's go!"

For some reason, Lin Ziyuan always felt a sense of closeness to Ye Wei, and she no longer felt as distant as before.

"If you have any problems in the future, just come to the Qingluan Academy to find me. You know where I live. I have to go to Master Yi first." At a crossroads, Lin Ziyuan smiled and bid farewell to Ye Wei.

"Okay." Ye Wei nodded.

Lin Ziyuan's graceful figure gradually faded away, disappearing at the end of the tree-lined path.

"Thank you for the 'Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pills.' I, Ye Wei, will remember this favor!" Ye Wei held the jade bottle in his hand, gazing at Lin Ziyuan's elegant back as she walked away, muttering to himself. His voice was low, but his words were filled with steel-like determination.

With the last rays of the sunset, Ye Wei returned to his dormitory. Nansheng Academy was the cradle of martial artists, and even though Ye Wei was the worst student, he still had his own room.

The dormitory was simple, with a wooden bed against the wall, a simple wooden table, and not even a chair. With a creak, Ye Wei tightly closed the door, took off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on the wooden bed.

"With this bottle of 'Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pills,' I should be able to break through to the Second Rank Apprentice Realm very soon!"

Ye Wei took out the bottle of "Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pills," his breathing slightly rapid. He had been in Nansheng Academy for three years and had stayed at the First Rank Apprentice Realm for three years. Most of his classmates who entered at the same time were already in the intermediate classes, and a few with exceptional talent were already in the advanced classes.

"Although I am far behind now, as long as I can reach the Seventh Rank Apprentice Realm and can use divine abilities, the current gap is nothing!" Ye Wei clenched his fists tightly, filled with confidence.

He opened the jade bottle, poured out a "Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pill," and looked at the pill lying in his palm, worth five hundred silver coins. Ye Wei took a deep breath and swallowed it directly.

Boom!

The "Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pill" dissolved as soon as it entered his mouth. In an instant, a scorching force flowed through his body, making his skin turn red and his entire body feel hot.

This scorching force continuously nourished his skin and strengthened his physique, visibly enhancing his physical strength at a rapid pace.

Ye Wei sat cross-legged, absorbing the power of the "Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pill" bit by bit.

After five or six hours, when the east began to turn white, Ye Wei finally absorbed all the power of the "Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pill."

"What strong power! The effect of this one 'Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pill' is equivalent to three months of hard cultivation!" Ye Wei, sitting on the wooden bed, slowly opened his eyes, his slightly immature face showing uncontainable joy.

"At this rate, I should be able to break through to the Second Rank Apprentice Realm very soon!"

Ye Wei clenched his fists, feeling the surging power within his body, a satisfied smile curling at the corners of his mouth. He had stayed at the First Rank Apprentice Realm for three years, with a very solid foundation. Now, after taking the high-quality body tempering pill, all the power within his body had erupted, and breaking through the realm within three days was a natural progression.

Moreover, Ye Wei was surprised to find that after the dream from the previous day, his constitution had undergone a tremendous change.

"Before returning to the family, I will strive to become a Second Rank Apprentice to make my parents happy!" Ye Wei's black, bright eyes flashed with astonishing light.

If it were before, with his Red-level Sea of Insight talent, Ye Wei would never have dared to dream of such rapid cultivation. But now, with some changes in his talent and these "Fiery Sun Body Tempering Pills," Ye Wei felt he could give it a try.

Although the Second Rank Apprentice Realm was not much, for Ye Wei, who had only a Red-level Sea of Insight talent, this breakthrough was extremely difficult!

"Without strength, no one will look up to you. One day, I will become a powerful martial artist!" Thinking of the ridicule from Qiao Yin'er and others, Ye Wei's fists suddenly clenched tightly, the veins on his hands bulging.

There are many factors that determine a martial artist's strength, but the most basic and important are cultivation and divine abilities. For now, let's not talk about divine abilities, as only those who reach the Seventh Rank Apprentice Realm have enough primordial energy to use them. The main factor determining cultivation is the Sea of Insight talent and the level of the cultivation technique!

The Sea of Insight talent is divided into seven levels: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Purple, with Red being the weakest and Purple being the strongest.

The stronger the Sea of Insight talent, the faster the absorption of primordial energy!

Another factor is the cultivation technique, which determines the speed of refining primordial energy. Primordial energy is an extremely violent force, and if not refined, it cannot nourish the body and may even injure it.

Cultivation techniques and divine abilities are both divided into five ranks: Spirit, Mystic, Earth, Heaven, and Supreme, with each rank further divided into three levels:初级, 中级, and 高级.

Ye Wei's Sea of Insight talent was the weakest Red level, and his absorption of primordial energy was extremely slow. While others could reach saturation in three to five hours, Ye Wei had to cultivate for ten or more hours, or even longer.

The cultivation technique Ye Wei practiced was not weak. The "Falling Star Technique," passed down from the Yang family, was a mid-level Mystic technique, and the speed of refining primordial energy was not slow.

The reason Ye Wei fell so far behind his peers was his Sea of Insight talent!

While others could cultivate for one day, Ye Wei had to cultivate for three to five days. Over the years, the gap naturally became enormous. Without sufficient primordial energy to support him and without resources, his physical strength naturally lagged behind, and with his physical strength lagging behind, the speed of his cultivation naturally slowed down.
