"Get out!"
Chu Jianqiu coldly shouted.
The few people who had been watching hurriedly helped Chu He up and slunk away.
Before leaving, Chu He cast a venomous glance at Chu Jianqiu but did not dare to utter any more empty words. He was not Chu Jianqiu's match at the moment, and if he truly angered Chu Jianqiu, he would not have a good outcome.
As Chu He and the others left Chu Jianqiu's room, a young man in a green robe silently observed the scene from the corridor of a distant wing, his brows slightly furrowed.
Chu Jianqiu watched as Chu He and the others left, falling into deep thought.
Although he had defeated Chu He today, Chu Jianqiu did not feel much joy. A mere troublemaker was not worth fearing; the real trouble lay ahead.
Although Chu He had been defeated, he had also figured out Chu Jianqiu's true strength. The Grand Elder's lineage would likely soon take action. With his current cultivation, Chu Jianqiu was far from being able to handle the impending difficulties.
He must quickly enhance his cultivation!
Chu Jianqiu made up his mind.
He clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power latent within his body. Recalling the moment he defeated Chu He, Chu Jianqiu deeply felt the terror of this power.
Chu Jianqiu temporarily ignored the information flooding his mind. The information was too vast; it would take at least ten days to sort through it all.
However, the current situation did not allow Chu Jianqiu the time to sort through it slowly.
Without sufficient self-protection, Chu Jianqiu would likely lose his place in the Chu family, and even face a threat to his life.
If he truly became a cripple, the Grand Elder might not bother to deal with him much and might even spare his life.
But since he had only suffered a significant drop in cultivation, the Grand Elder would not allow him to rise again, as it would disrupt his plans for the family head position. The Grand Elder would surely do everything to crush him.
To survive, the only way was to quickly enhance his strength.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique was clearly a powerful support for enhancing his strength.
Just now, he had just awakened the Supreme Bloodline of Chaos through the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique, and had not yet had the chance to delve deeper into this cultivation method when he was interrupted by Chu He.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique was created by an ancient great being who, while observing the creation of the universe and the evolution of chaos, gained profound insights and thus attained the Dao of Chaos.
This great being existed before the creation of the universe, a primordial deity from the age of chaos. Chu Jianqiu found it hard to imagine the level of terror such an existence possessed.
The cultivation method created by such an existence was undoubtedly far superior to the methods he had previously practiced. Through the cultivation of this method, Chu Jianqiu had already felt the terror of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique.
Chu Jianqiu did not waste time and continued to cultivate the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique.
As Chu Jianqiu activated the heart method of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique, the surrounding spiritual energy surged towards him like a mad rush, flooding into his body. Chu Jianqiu's aura visibly rose at a rapid pace.
An hour later, Chu Jianqiu opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock.
In this hour of cultivation, he had completely consolidated his Third Stage Body Tempering cultivation. Previously, the absorption of the golden light had instantly elevated his cultivation by three stages, but now he was purely absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.
If this pace continued, he would likely recover his previous cultivation in at most half a year.
The Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique was indeed terrifying.
But in the current situation, he could not wait half a year. If he had not had this extraordinary experience, it would be one thing, but since heaven had favored him, he must fight for himself.
Chu Jianqiu took out a Body Tempering Pill and swallowed it. Although the cultivation speed of the Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique was already terrifying, it was not enough!
The pill entered his stomach, and within a few breaths, the powerful medicinal energy spread throughout his body, surging with spiritual energy.
After a short while, Chu Jianqiu had fully absorbed the medicinal energy of the Body Tempering Pill.
Chu Jianqiu was overjoyed. The dominance and power of the Supreme Bloodline of Chaos continued to surprise him.
In the past, it would take at least a day to refine a Body Tempering Pill, and at least five days to fully digest and absorb it.
Each pill contained impurities, which required time to expel while absorbing the medicinal energy.
In the past, he could not take more than three Body Tempering Pills in a month, otherwise, the accumulation of impurities would exceed his body's ability to expel them, causing damage.
But now!
Chu Jianqiu clenched his fist. He had refined a Body Tempering Pill in just a few breaths and fully absorbed its medicinal energy in a short while. This speed was many times faster than before, and the impurities in the pill were instantly neutralized by the power of his bloodline.
This meant he could continuously consume pills without worrying about any side effects.
Chu Jianqiu took out a large handful of Body Tempering Pills and swallowed them one by one, as if they were candy.
Only because he was the young master of the Chu family could he be so extravagant. Each of these Body Tempering Pills was extremely valuable.
The powerful medicinal energy surged within his body, and Chu Jianqiu's aura visibly rose.
However, as he continued to consume the pills, Chu Jianqiu noticed something was amiss.
To break through from the Third Stage to the Fourth Stage of Body Tempering, five Body Tempering Pills were usually sufficient. But he had already consumed fifteen pills, and although he felt a significant increase in his strength, he was still far from breaking through to the Fourth Stage.
His dantian seemed like a bottomless pit, devouring a large amount of spiritual energy without ever being filled.
Chu Jianqiu gritted his teeth and continued to take more Body Tempering Pills.
By the time he had consumed fifty Body Tempering Pills,
With a "Boom," he finally broke through to the Fourth Stage of Body Tempering.
However, Chu Jianqiu's face was already dark, and his hands were trembling.
Fifty Body Tempering Pills, damn, this was truly a pill-consuming monster!
Fifty Body Tempering Pills, this was all of Chu Jianqiu's current savings!
Just to break through to the Fourth Stage of Body Tempering required fifty Body Tempering Pills. Chu Jianqiu could not even imagine the amount of pills needed for future cultivation, which would be so overwhelming that it would make one despair.
He estimated that even if all the resources of the Chu family were invested in him, they would not be enough to sustain his consumption.
But the strength gained from these fifty Body Tempering Pills.
Chu Jianqiu clenched his fist and punched the air.
"Boom!"
The powerful force shattered the air, and the surging waves of energy shattered the furniture in the room.
Feeling the surging power within his body, Chu Jianqiu estimated that he was now much stronger than an ordinary Sixth Stage Body Tempering warrior and could even challenge a Seventh Stage Body Tempering warrior.
Chu Jianqiu retracted his fist and saw Ruhua enter the room.
The little maid had red, swollen eyes, and although she tried to cover it with powder, Chu Jianqiu could still see the clear finger marks on her face.
"Master, I've brought you some healing medicine!"
The little maid took out a small porcelain bottle and forced a smile.
Chu Jianqiu, seeing Ruhua's condition, knew what had happened. This little maid was always strong-willed and, even when wronged outside, would never tell him out of fear of worrying him, enduring it silently.
"It's just that Ruhua is useless and could only bring the lowest-grade healing medicine!"
The little maid lowered her head, on the verge of tears. If she had not held back, she would have been in tears already.
Chu Jianqiu took the porcelain bottle and gently rubbed Ruhua's head, speaking softly, "Don't be sad, Master is fine!"
Ruhua finally could not hold back and burst into tears, throwing herself into Chu Jianqiu's arms.
Chu Jianqiu gently held her delicate body and comforted her softly.
Looking at the inferior healing medicine in his hand and the little maid crying in his arms, Chu Jianqiu's eyes turned cold.
These people were truly too overbearing. One day, he would make them pay for everything they owed him!
However, Chu Jianqiu did not let anger cloud his judgment. His current strength was still too weak, and it was not suitable to confront them directly. He needed to endure for now.
When his strength was sufficient, he would settle all accounts one by one.
Strength, everything was about strength!
"Ruhua, stay at home and don't go anywhere!" Chu Jianqiu comforted the little maid and gave her instructions before heading out.
"Master, your injuries!" Ruhua said anxiously. Master had suffered severe injuries and was still going out, which was even more dangerous.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious!"
Chu Jianqiu left the main courtyard and headed towards the Pill Pavilion.
With enough pills, his cultivation could rapidly improve.
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Chu Jianqiu?"
As Chu Jianqiu stepped into the Pill Pavilion, a mocking voice came from the side. Chu Jianqiu ignored it and continued walking inside.
"Hey, Young Master Chu has quite the attitude!"
As the voice faded, a purple figure blocked his path.
This figure was a girl around fifteen or sixteen years old, with a fairly good appearance, but the mocking and frivolous expression on her face was repulsive.
"Chu Jiaoyue, what do you want!" Chu Jianqiu frowned and said coldly.
This girl had followed him like a shadow three years ago, but as soon as his cultivation stagnated, she immediately distanced herself. Chu Jianqiu had no good feelings towards such a fickle woman.
"I don't want anything, I just want to know what a cripple with a shattered dantian is doing in the Pill Pavilion. Do you think taking pills will do you any good now? These pills might turn a dog into a spirit beast, but if they end up in your stomach, they are purely a waste. Hehe!"
Chu Jiaoyue laughed, and the people around her joined in, surrounding him, looking on as if it were a show.
