Chapter 80

It was too shocking!

In just a short while, the exchange value of the Qi-Enhancing Pill had increased by more than three times!

Lin Xi originally thought he would get nothing and return empty-handed. But in the blink of an eye, he suddenly had hope again.

"The sect has special treatment for newly passed disciples who are exchanging rewards for the first time. However, this special treatment is only available once, and the merit points used for the exchange must be obtained from the Immortal Path Examination. In other words, this is actually the sect's reward for outstanding disciples in the Immortal Path Examination."

The Virtue Disciple smiled and explained the reason.

Lin Xi suddenly understood.

The Immortal Path Sect would not directly reward the outstanding disciples in the Immortal Path Examination. However, they would grant rewards indirectly, which was also a form of encouragement from the sect.

"The Qi-Enhancing Pill is a daily pill for inner disciples, but it is also included in the rewards. It seems that the Immortal Path Sect does not prohibit registered disciples and outer disciples from enjoying the ordinary treatment of senior disciples through tasks. However, the threshold for obtaining such treatment is set very high!"

Lin Xi thought to himself.

"Senior Brother, please help me exchange for three Qi-Enhancing Pills. I am very grateful."

Lin Xi said.

"It's a small matter, not worth mentioning."

The Virtue Disciple smiled, cast a spell, and it entered the Virtue Hall. A true qi vortex immediately formed at the entrance of the hall, and in the blink of an eye, three Qi-Enhancing Pills jumped out and landed in the Virtue Disciple's palm.

"Take them. In the future, you might need more of my help."

The Virtue Disciple handed over the three pills.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Lin Xi said respectfully.

The three Qi-Enhancing Pills emitted a faint, rich flow of primordial energy. After receiving them, Lin Xi left the Virtue Hall.

It was already late, and Lin Xi looked at the sky and returned to his residence.

He lit a lamp, and the room was bright again.

Lin Xi sat on the floor, with several pills in front of him.

Lin Xi now had fifteen Qi-Enhancing Pills and one Thunder Master Pill.

"I wonder if taking these pills can help me reach the Qi Condensation Realm."

Lin Xi thought to himself.

This time entering the Trial Gate, Lin Xi deeply felt the gap between the Tenth Level of Martial Arts and the Qi Condensation Realm. It was like one was in the sky and the other on the ground. Only by reaching the Qi Condensation Realm could one truly touch the world of the Immortal Path.

Just like how his current strength was insufficient, even though he passed the Immortal Path Examination, he was only a registered disciple. For the Immortal Path Sect, only those at the Qi Condensation Realm could be considered formal disciples. Registered disciples were not accepted.

Only by becoming a formal disciple could Lin Xi truly enjoy the treatment of an Immortal Path disciple, including various sect pills and high-reward sect tasks.

Lin Xi's gaze swept over and first stopped on the Qi-Enhancing Pills.

In the sect, the most precious thing was true qi. Therefore, although the Qi-Enhancing Pill was just a daily pill for inner disciples and not very valuable, it was still very precious because it could directly increase the amount of true qi.

Moreover, it was worth noting that inner disciples were all at the Fourth Level of Qi Condensation, with deep and unfathomable strength, and their cultivation places were not even here. Lin Xi was just a Tenth Level Martial Arts disciple.

Crack!

He grabbed a Qi-Enhancing Pill and threw it into his mouth, just like eating a bean. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, Lin Xi immediately felt a pure pill energy explode in his abdomen. The quality of this pill energy was far superior to the true qi he cultivated.

As soon as it entered his stomach, the pill energy immediately spread like countless small snakes into Lin Xi's seven meridians and eight vessels. Upon contacting the true qi, it immediately transformed, though the quality decreased, the amount of true qi rapidly expanded.

"What powerful pill energy!"

Lin Xi exclaimed in his heart, feeling incredibly refreshed. He felt that the amount of true qi in his body had suddenly become much thicker, like a small dragon circulating in his body, making a rumbling sound.

Just one Qi-Enhancing Pill made Lin Xi feel as if he had practiced hard for three months!

"Again!"

Lin Xi grabbed another Qi-Enhancing Pill and threw it into his mouth.

Rumble, the burning sensation came again. The true qi in Lin Xi's body increased like water rising, and Lin Xi felt that this increase was not temporary but had become a part of him.

The Qi-Enhancing Pill not only increased his true qi but also expanded and stabilized his meridians.

"No wonder the Qi-Enhancing Pill, which is just a daily pill for inner disciples, is worth so many merit points. It is indeed worth it."

Lin Xi nodded in his heart.

For inner disciples at the Fourth Level of Qi Condensation, the quality of true qi was much higher than Lin Xi's. One Qi-Enhancing Pill would not increase their true qi by much, but the key was the continuous increase every day.

However, for registered disciples like Lin Xi, the true qi that expanded after the quality of the Qi-Enhancing Pill decreased was the most important to them.

Three, four, five...

One pill after another, Lin Xi kept throwing them into his mouth. With each Qi-Enhancing Pill, the true qi in Lin Xi's body became more substantial. At first, it was a faint sound, but after swallowing fifteen pills, the true qi in Lin Xi's body was already making a loud rustling sound.

Countess Camilla, the vampire, initially sat still, but was eventually drawn by the scene.

"Such a powerful primordial energy fluctuation. The master is only at the Tenth Level of Martial Arts, how can he have true qi, and such a substantial amount!"

Countess Camilla's blue eyes were full of confusion.

Lin Xi ignored Camilla and opened the last box on the ground.

"Only this Thunder Master Pill is left."

Lin Xi now felt that every movement was filled with destructive power, but he still had not broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm.

"Whether I can break through to the Qi Condensation Realm depends on this last Thunder Master Pill!"

After swallowing fifteen Qi-Enhancing Pills, Lin Xi had only this Thunder Master Pill left.

The brocade box was already open, revealing the golden pill inside. This pill was the size of an egg and emitted a faint light. It was the result of the Thunder Master's lifetime cultivation before his death.

It contained the Thunder Master's cultivation and many rare materials he had collected.

According to Camilla, the Thunder Master had the cultivation of the Fourth Level of Qi Condensation. In a major Immortal Path Sect, this was an inner disciple, a force valued by the sect.

Outside, he was a cultivator, known as a True Man.

Although the Fourth Level of Qi Condensation was not very strong in the Immortal Path world, the lifetime cultivation was a significant wealth for the current Lin Xi.

"Swallow it!"

With one hand, he swallowed the "Thunder Master Pill."

Boom!

As soon as he swallowed the Thunder Master Pill, a powerful thunder force suddenly exploded. Lin Xi's mind was shaken, and he was unprepared, causing his whole body to tremble, and even his hair stood on end.

"What a domineering force!"

Lin Xi shouted and jumped up from the ground.

He felt as if his body was about to explode, his muscles and blood vessels were about to burst. Streams of golden light even spurted from his pores, forming tiny needles.

These were not actually needles but the overflowing pill energy!

"Ah! It hurts!"

Lin Xi's face turned red, his blood vessels bulged, and the veins on his forehead looked like wriggling earthworms. His body swelled up.

"Not good! This is due to the pill's power being too strong, and he can't bear it, which could lead to an explosion!"

Camilla's face changed drastically.

Lin Xi only had the cultivation of the Tenth Level of Martial Arts, but he had swallowed the entire lifetime cultivation of a Fourth Level of Qi Condensation, the Thunder Master. Moreover, it included many rare materials he had collected over decades.

Lin Xi was clearly suffering from the pill's power being too strong, and his body could not handle the supplementation. If he couldn't release it, he would explode and die.

"What to do, what to do?..."

Camilla was at a loss. She was now one with Lin Xi, and if he died, she would die too. However, she had no experience with such human conditions.

"I have an idea!"

The vampire queen suddenly had a flash of inspiration, transformed into a bat, and stuck to Lin Xi's back, then bit down hard. A large amount of violent blood energy immediately rushed into her body.

Lin Xi's body was now filled with pill energy, even in his blood. Camilla's idea was simple: to help Lin Xi by absorbing the pill energy through his blood.

However, the amount of pill energy Camilla could absorb was still a drop in the ocean compared to the Thunder Master Pill in Lin Xi's body. The one who could truly help Lin Xi was himself!

"What terrifying pill energy! The Thunder Master was on his deathbed, yet the pill he left behind is so powerful!"

Lin Xi felt his blood vessels expand, his vision blur, and his thoughts become confused. The drug force in his body burned like fire.

However, although Lin Xi knew he was in great danger, he was not panicked deep down. He had some experience dealing with such situations.

"Eight Extremes Qi Swallowing Fist!"

At the critical moment, Lin Xi used the Eight Extremes Qi Swallowing Fist. His figure flickered, transforming into a golden light hedgehog, moving around the room.

As the Eight Extremes Qi Swallowing Fist ran, his cells suddenly burst with astonishing vitality, crazily absorbing the power of the Thunder Master Pill to strengthen himself. The true qi in Lin Xi's body also absorbed this drug force.

Rumble!

The true qi in Lin Xi's body moved faster and faster, becoming louder and louder. Finally, it was like thunder, rumbling and deafening!

The aura Lin Xi emitted became stronger and more intense. Finally, his body became incredibly heavy, like a prehistoric beast. Each step he took shook the earth, and the entire room trembled with his footsteps, as if it might collapse at any moment.

Camilla had long been knocked unconscious by the rampant true qi in Lin Xi's body. However, she still clung to Lin Xi's back, crazily absorbing blood.

If you look closely, the red bat on Lin Xi's back was slowly being pushed up by her swollen belly, floating in the air.

No one knew how long it had been, but Lin Xi's body suddenly trembled and stopped.

The golden light in the room disappeared, leaving Lin Xi standing still, the room in a mess.
