Chapter 303 Breakthrough
She casually tossed the bottle to the two men: "Take it."
The tall man hurriedly caught the bottle that flew towards him in mid-air.
His hands were still shaking when he received the bottle, and he quickly reached out.
"Young lady, you are joking! This is the villain you killed, so the elixir should rightfully belong to you."
We just... just wanted to fulfill that young hero's last wish.
"No."
Shu Lingxing's voice was as cold as ice, leaving no room for negotiation.
Seeing the atmosphere become tense, Xiao Lie quickly tried to smooth things over.
"You two need not refuse. May I ask your esteemed names?"
The tall man regained his composure, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "My name is Song Yi."
The slightly shorter man also clasped his hands in greeting: "My name is Song Cheng."
Xiao Lie pointed to Afu and Shu Lingxing and explained, "I am Su Ziyun, this is Huang Zichao, and Shu Lingxing is my companion."
Song Yi and his companion hurriedly clasped their hands in greeting and said, "We've heard so much about you! May we ask why Young Hero Su and the other two have come here?"
Xiao Lie replied, "There's a plague breaking out all over the Ling Kingdom right now, and we're planning to go to Donghai City to treat the patients!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yi and Song Cheng showed expressions of admiration.
"So you were a hero who went to treat the plague! My apologies!"
After exchanging a few words, Song Yi and Song Cheng learned that they still had a long way to go, so they did not linger.
Before leaving, Song Yi insisted on stuffing the pill into Xiao Lie's hand.
"Brother Su, we feel unworthy to receive this elixir. You should go and save people, improve your own strength, and then you will be able to save even more people."
"Our cultivation levels are too low; it would be a waste for us to take it!"
After saying this, the two bowed hastily and turned to leave.
Xiao Lie shook his head helplessly, holding the medicine bottle.
Afu leaned over to take a look: "This bottle is really exquisite; the medicine inside must be extraordinary."
"Let's get going first, we'll talk about it when we get to the town ahead," Shu Lingxing said, turning and walking towards where the horses were tied up.
The three remounted and continued their journey towards Donghai City.
As evening approached, we finally saw a town.
They found an inn and booked a superior room.
As soon as they sat down, Afu couldn't wait to have Xiaolie bring out a bottle of pills.
"Quickly, check how many are inside!"
Xiao Lie opened the bottle cap and poured out three round pills, all amber in color, with a stronger medicinal fragrance than when they were in the forest.
"Only three. I guess Qi Yelan ate a lot of them."
“Three are just right, one for each of us!” Afu’s eyes lit up, and he reached out to take them.
"Don't move," Xiao Lie stopped him.
"We don't know if there's anything wrong with this pill yet, so it might be unwise to take it rashly."
Afu pouted and said, "That's easy, we can just do some research!"
Xiao Lie looked at Shu Lingxing, "Sister Shu Lingxing, what do you think?"
Shu Lingxing nodded: "Okay, but I'm not good at medicine."
If you'd like to try it, you can stay in town for the next few days and see if the medicine is genuine before setting off!
The three of them stayed in the town for the next few days.
Xiao Lie and A Fu stood around the three pills.
He studied it over and over again for most of the night, smelling the aroma, looking at the color, and even recalling the medical techniques section of the Linglong Divine Skill.
The authenticity of elixirs can be determined from the cultivation methods.
It was finally confirmed that the pills were genuine and could indeed increase internal strength.
The three of them huddled together to discuss it, and Xiao Lie put the pills on the table.
"Just to be on the safe side, I'll give it a try first."
Afu immediately got anxious: "Why should you go first? I want to try too!" He reached out to take it.
"Stop fooling around." Xiao Lie pressed his hand down. "What if... I mean, what if there's something we haven't figured out?"
I'll eat first. If everything's fine, you can take yours later.
Shu Lingxing nodded in agreement: "Xiao Lie is right, it's better to be cautious."
Afu pouted. Although he was somewhat unwilling, he knew that this was the right thing to do, so he reluctantly withdrew his hand.
At that moment, Xiao Lie picked up a pill, swallowed it, sat cross-legged, and began to use his internal energy to refine the medicinal power.
Shu Lingxing and Afu stood guard beside him. With a glance, neither of them said anything more, but they remained vigilant and protected him closely.
Before we knew it, it was noon the next day.
A powerful surge of internal energy suddenly erupted in the room.
Afu, who was sitting in the chair, was startled by Xiaolie's sudden burst of internal energy.
Shu Lingxing held him back: "Don't disturb him."
It took quite a while for the fluctuations to subside.
Xiao Lie slowly opened his eyes after putting away his cultivation technique, a smile he couldn't hide on his face.
"It's done. I've broken through to the Grandmaster realm. This pill is genuine."
Afu's eyes widened: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere? The internal energy you just unleashed was quite frightening!"
After all, Afu is only at the first-class level now, facing a Grandmaster with internal strength two levels higher than him.
He would naturally find it difficult to handle.
Xiao Lie opened his eyes from his cultivation and looked at Shu Lingxing and Afu who were guarding him.
"There's nothing wrong with these pills, you should all take them quickly."
Afu couldn't wait any longer. Upon hearing this, he immediately took a pill, swallowed it, and began to circulate his internal energy while sitting cross-legged.
Shu Lingxing then took the pill and closed his eyes to concentrate.
Now it's Xiaolie's turn to stand quietly by their side, waiting.
Time flew by and it was already the third night.
At this moment, a burst of internal energy suddenly erupted from Afu's body.
Although not as powerful as when Xiaolie broke through, it still showed obvious signs of improvement.
Afu opened his eyes, his face beaming with excitement.
Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Lie reached out and stopped him.
Xiao Lie pointed to Shu Lingxing, who was still cultivating, and made a shushing gesture.
Afu understood and got up to sit in the chair next to Xiaolie, his eyes still shining with excitement.
He broke through from the first-class realm to the innate realm, and felt that the internal energy in his body was now vastly different from before.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then softened their movements and continued to guard the Book Spirit Star.
The Book Spirit Star's realm was already higher than theirs, so it would naturally take them longer to break through from the Middle Yuan Realm (Grandmaster Realm) to the Great Yuan Realm (Grandmaster Realm).
For the past few days, Xiao Lie and A Fu have been taking turns keeping watch, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
Time flew by, and it was finally evening of the fifth day.
The aura surrounding Shu Lingxing suddenly became extremely unstable.
The internal energy that had been flowing smoothly suddenly surged and boiled within her body.
Xiao Lie and A Fu immediately noticed her unusual behavior and exchanged a glance.
They could both see in each other's eyes that Shu Lingxing was about to reach a critical juncture in her breakthrough.
The two of them stared intently at Shu Lingxing, hoping that she could successfully break through to the Great Yuan Realm and that nothing unexpected would happen.
Just then, a surge of powerful internal energy erupted from Shu Lingxing, engulfing the entire small room, causing even the tables, chairs, beds, and various decorations inside to tremble slightly.
Xiao Lie and A Fu were also forced to use their internal energy to resist the force of the airflow.
Even so, they were still forced to retreat by this imposing aura.
