Greg Jensen finished speaking, then hung up the phone and sneered, “Heaven’s calamities are forgivable, but self-inflicted ones are not survivable!” “Brandon, this is your own doing; no one can save you now!”
As for Arthur Corl, he would just have to play it by ear.
If Arthur continued to bully others, Greg wouldn’t mind letting him experience the power of the Poison Pill.
Greg made up his mind and stopped paying attention to the matter, focusing instead on making Qi Blood Pills.
The ingredients for the Qi Blood Pills were dozens of times more expensive than those for the Qi Pills, and the difficulty of making them had greatly increased as well.
Greg guarded the stove for three to four hours before finally concocting a pot of medicine paste. After forming it, he obtained six Qi Blood Pills.
The medicinal herbs he’d purchased for several hundred thousand yielded only six Qi Blood Pills, with each costing over a hundred thousand.
Greg couldn’t help but click his tongue; cultivation was indeed very expensive. However, while the Qi Blood Pills were expensive, their effectiveness was many times better than that of the Qi Pills.
After swallowing a pill, a wave of warmth surged in his Dantian, his True Qi began circulating spontaneously and faster and faster, already showing signs of a breakthrough.
Greg did not dare to neglect this opportunity and quickly sat cross-legged, adjusting his True Qi to strike at the upper Dantian.
At first, the pill’s medicinal power was still robust, but it eventually weakened and finally settled into stillness.
Seeing this, Greg frowned and immediately swallowed three more Qi Blood Pills.
Boom!
Under the influence of the three Qi Blood Pills, Greg’s internal True Qi swelled, rushing through his meridians at great speed.
Finally, all the True Qi accumulated at the position of the upper Dantian. Moments later, the abundant True Qi broke through a barrier, gushing forth in a boundless flow, filling him with exhilarating ease.
Greg felt lighter, as if he had shed some impurities, his mind also becoming more ethereal.
He slowly stood up, and instantly, a tearing sound was heard. Looking down, he discovered that his newly bought suit had been shredded into ribbons by the True Qi.
On his exposed skin, there was a lot of sludge-like dirt, pitch-black and exuding a faint foul odor.
“Is this…a second Marrow Cleansing?”
Greg was stunned for a moment, then burst into joyous laughter.
He knew he had crossed the threshold into the world of cultivation; as long as he broke through to the sixth level of Qi Refinement, he would undergo another round of Marrow Cleansing.
Only then would he truly be a Cultivator.
“Good thing my underwear didn’t tear.”
Greg removed his tattered suit and plunged into Cold Pond, beginning to scrub the filth from his body.
While he was washing, a swarm offish, including several Dragon Fish, swam over competitively.
Greg was taken aback; he wasn’t practicing any skills, so why would these fish come over to him?
Could it be because he had broken through the third level of Qi Refinement? He didn’t dwell on it and simply started practicing the Five Elements Spell in the water.
He still couldn’t use offensive spells like the Fireball Technique, but he was able to utilize an earth magic.
This earth magic, known as the Earth Mind Technique, allowed for sensing the various auras within the earth and the interior of stones, making it an essential skill for practicing the Earth Escape Skill.
For instance, when using the Earth Escape Skill, it could be used to probe the conditions ahead to avoid solid obstacles like stones in advance.
The deeper the Earth Mind Technique was cultivated, the greater the range of perception and the clearer the detected information.
It was said that at its utmost depth, one could perceive circumstances several miles away.
“Would be quite useful for digging wells.”
Although Greg felt this skill was somewhat trivial, it was, besides the Small Cloud Rain Skill, the only one he could practice.
His Small Cloud Rain Skill had already been cultivated to the peak of the first layer, and to start on the second layer, he needed to first elevate his cultivation level.
So, without giving it much thought, he placed his hand on the stone beside Cold Pond and began to practice the Earth Mind Technique.
Some time later, a strange feeling suddenly rose in his mind.
It felt as if his eyes penetrated the surface of the stone, seeing the grey glow within.
“A gray light means it’s just a rock…”
Greg Jensen let out a wry smile of resignation; this spell… was truly somewhat useless.
He shook his head, stood up, and tried the Small Cloud Rain Skill again, only to find that although the range and the amount of rain hadn’t increased, it was much easier to use.
He used to need a rest after casting it twice, but now he could cast it several times in a row.
This was mainly thanks to the growth of his True Qi.
His True Qi had nearly doubled compared to before, so casting spells naturally became much easier.
He gathered his True Qi and struck down at a rock beside him.
Crack!
The basin-sized rock instantly shattered into several pieces.
Seeing this, Greg Jensen’s Ups curled into a smile; now, even if a dozen strong men came at him, he wouldn’t bat an eye.
If he were to slap someone on the head like that, their skull would likely shatter.
Looking at the broken stones on the ground, an idea suddenly struck Greg Jensen. Since he needed to set up a simple Formation anyway, why not use the rocks right in front of him? It would save him the trouble of looking for some.
He picked out five stones the size of an adult’s fist, wrapped them in his tattered suit, and carried them back home.
The art of Formation originated from the art of charms; low-level formations could be constructed with ordinary rocks, but higher levels would require high-quality jade stones, or even age-old Spirit Jade.
Since the Small Cloud Rain Skill was not a high-level technique, these few rocks would suffice.
However, Greg Jensen did not have an engraving knife, so setting up the Formation would have to wait.
Finally having broken through to the third level of Qi Refinement, Greg Jensen felt a thrill of delight.
The fast breakthrough was largely thanks to Lois Abbott and the Elixirs
While the Guidance Technique could also absorb nature s spiritual energy, its effect was minuscule and only served to maintain balance.
After all, the spiritual energy of this era was nothing compared to ancient times.
In other words, if Greg Jensen wanted to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refinement, he would need to continue Dual Cultivation, and more so than before.
Of course, he couldn’t do without Elixirs either.
While advancing his realm, his vitality needed to keep up; otherwise, his physical body might collapse.
“The road is long and arduous…”
As Greg Jensen looked at the only two Blood Qi Pills he had left, he couldn’t help feeling like crying without tears.
He spent hundreds of thousands, only to be left with two tiny pills Earning money is hard, eating is hard; the ancients didn’t deceive me.
Greg Jensen sighed and decided to call over Arthur Corl tomorrow to inquire about growing medicinal herbs as soon as possible.
In a villa in Riverhaven County, Brandon Brent was working hard on a young model.
Ever since he had asked Greg Jensen to cure his illness, he had been feeling full of vigor, and it seemed like his body was even better than before.
After returning from Peach Blossom Village, Brandon Brent called Arthur Corl and instructed him to handle things however he needed.
Help Greg Jensen solve his scenic area problem?
Impossible!
Even if Arthur Corl didn’t trouble Greg, Brandon Brent still wanted to deal with him. How could he possibly help solve Greg’s problems?
“Young Master Brent, you’re so impressive today,” the young model complimented.
“This is nothing, the real show is yet to come,” Brandon Brent laughed triumphantly and was about to continue when he suddenly felt itchy. He scratched a few times, but it didn’t help at all.
“Scratch it for me, why am I so itchy?”
Brandon Brent decided to sit up against the headboard and had the young model scratch his itch for him.
However, despite the young model’s efforts, the itching didn’t subside; instead,
it got worse, and his body started to go numb..
