Everyone looked at Han Lang with doubtful eyes.
Han Lang also smiled.
"Direct absorption is impossible. But as long as I extract its essence!"
Saying that, his palm moved slightly, and a wisp of pale blue flame instantly rolled the spirit grass in his hand.
Dan Nan's eyes widened.
Among everyone, perhaps only he, who was well-informed, knew what this wisp of flame represented.
For a moment, the usually calm and experienced Dan Nan was so surprised that he stammered.
"You... you... you... can actually refine pills?"
Tang Geng and the others were also greatly shocked when they heard this.
They hadn't expected Dan Nan to recognize Han Lang's pill refining technique at a glance.
Even though they had known Han Lang's secret of refining pills for a long time, none of them had ever seen it with their own eyes.
Now that Dan Nan had revealed it, they were not only amazed by Han Lang's pill refining skills but also by Dan Nan's understanding of pill refining.
In comparison, Liu Xiaoxiao was the most frightened.
She had always thought that Han Lang could provide them with Spirit Preservation Pills simply because he had some stock, and she had no idea that Han Lang actually knew how to refine pills.
"Is this also a mandatory course for Shen Nong Tian Yi?"
She asked uncertainly.
Han Lang did not offer further explanation, merely smiling back.
"Uh... I suppose so!"
Before he finished speaking, Dan Nan immediately said with concern.
"But even so, one Ten Thousand Year Spirit Grass should not be enough to form a pill, right? Even if the essence is condensed, the spiritual energy will surely be very mixed. If you take it directly, it will still be quite dangerous, won't it?"
Han Lang nodded.
"That's right! But there's no other way now. I believe I can withstand the violent spiritual energy of the Ten Thousand Year essence!"
Han Lang's hands did not stop as he spoke.
Before long, the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Grass in his hand was completely condensed.
Seeing Han Lang about to swallow the mass of essence directly, Dan Nan quickly stopped him.
"Wait!"
Han Lang looked at Dan Nan in confusion, about to explain that he could handle it, when Dan Nan had already commanded Liu Xiaoxiao and the others.
"Xiaoxiao, Tang Geng, Ma Long, Tang Qin, Zhao Wu, you five will fully intercept the ability users. Don't aim to kill them, just control them. What Han Lang is doing is very dangerous, I need to protect him!"
Hearing this, Han Lang almost shed tears of gratitude.
Liu Xiaoxiao and the others did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
"Don't worry, Deputy Officer Dan! We've got this!"
Dan Nan nodded, immediately withdrew to Han Lang's side, and after making some preparations, said to Han Lang.
"You can begin!"
Han Lang looked at Dan Nan gratefully and nodded.
"Mm!"
Then he swallowed the essence in one gulp.
It was much as Dan Nan had predicted.
The spiritual energy contained in the unrefined Ten Thousand Year Spirit Grass essence was indeed extremely mixed.
After entering his body, Han Lang felt waves of spiritual energy surging through his meridians.
The immense pain made him frown, and he couldn't help but groan.
This groan immediately made Dan Nan tense up.
"Are you alright?"
Han Lang quickly waved his hand, indicating that he could endure it, and then immediately began to circulate the Mortal Cultivation Art.
As the cultivation technique circulated, the mixed spiritual energy was gradually tamed, turning into streams of pure spiritual energy that flowed into his dantian.
At the same time, the Golden Core in his dantian immediately began to crack again slowly.
As more and more cracks appeared, the entire Golden Core was gradually covered by them.
But at this moment, Han Lang again felt the premonition that the spiritual energy within his body was about to be exhausted.
Without hesitation, he immediately took out another Ten Thousand Year Spirit Grass from the three-story pagoda.
Dan Nan, standing by, was once again stunned.
"Still not enough?"
Han Lang nodded.
"One more should be enough!"
Dan Nan did not speak further, but once again stood ready, constantly observing Han Lang's physical changes, lest he explode and die from the chaotic spiritual energy if handled improperly.
Han Lang was also concentrating, refining the residual spiritual energy in his body while continuing to use the spiritual energy pill fire to condense the essence of the new spirit grass.
As the essence of the second day entered his body.
The equally surging spiritual energy made him show a pained expression.
However, this time, he did not make any sound.
He silently circulated the Mortal Cultivation Art, fully refining the spiritual energy.
This time, the cracks in the Golden Core became more numerous, and the gaps became larger.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed.
The entire Golden Core instantly exploded.
A small figure, identical to Han Lang, instantly materialized from the dantian and enlarged.
Until it rushed out of Han Lang's body, forming a golden halo around Han Lang, with figures sitting cross-legged, also resembling Han Lang.
At this moment, Han Lang was enveloped by this materialized figure, shining brightly as if an immortal had descended.
"Did it succeed?"
Dan Nan was overjoyed.
Liu Xiaoxiao, Ma Long, and others, who were fully resisting the ability users, felt the surge of spiritual energy and turned to look.
Upon seeing the giant golden figure, their faces also lit up with joy.
"It succeeded! Little Sir succeeded!"
Ma Long was even happier than if he had broken through himself.
Tang Geng and Tang Qin also couldn't help but reveal a smile.
"It really succeeded! As expected of Han Lang!"
Zhao Wu was also very happy, but at the same time, a strange emotion welled up in his heart.
"Big brother, were you right about what happened back then? With Han Lang's talent, was it really necessary to frame my Zhao family?"
Before Zhao Wu could ponder further, the golden figure around Han Lang rushed out and then quickly retracted.
In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a dazzling golden light and dissipated in Han Lang's dantian.
At the same time, a small, infant-like Nascent Soul, with its eyes closed, quietly floated in Han Lang's dantian.
Han Lang opened his eyes, his face filled with unspoken joy.
"Congratulations!"
Dan Nan was the first to let down his guard and stepped forward to congratulate him.
The others also offered congratulations, but as they still had to defend against the ability users, they couldn't come to Han Lang to congratulate him.
Han Lang smiled and said to everyone.
"Thank you, brothers, for your strong support. Having friends like you who are loyal and true is the most worthy congratulation for me, Han Lang!"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Dan Nan even patted Han Lang on the shoulder.
"Likewise!"
Then he turned around and announced loudly to everyone.
"Next, let us witness together, Han Lang, who used so much spiritual energy to fully break through to the Nascent Soul stage, unleash his might, lead us to break through like a hot knife through butter, and capture Dr. Sim alive within the base!"
"Capture Dr. Sim alive!"
Everyone's fighting spirit soared, and they all shouted Dan Nan's final slogan.
Then Han Lang unleashed his nine needles, cutting down the ability users in front of him as if slicing vegetables.
Seeing this, Dan Nan couldn't help but sigh to Liu Xiaoxiao.
"My estimate was still conservative! His current strength is at least comparable to a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage!"
Liu Xiaoxiao smiled.
"A blessing for Xia Guo, isn't it?"
Dan Nan also smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
