Chapter 47 Heading to the Capital

The elders of the Extreme Ice Sect had suffered heavy casualties. Only two elder slots could be spared to accompany Fang Yue back to the capital.

These two elders had barely reached the early stages of the Yun realm, and their cultivation was not even stable.

Even so, they were still considered strong combatants in the Qing country.

As for the remaining Ren-level martial artists, there were more than a hundred of them.

Most of the elite disciples who had come from all directions in response to the Blood Bloom Ice Lotus were Ren-level martial artists.

Moreover, they weren't really willing to return to the capital; they were simply grateful to Fang Yue for saving the entire Extreme Ice Sect and were willing to help as a result.

Also, if Lord Qi Ba Jiu were to awaken, he would most likely agree to send reinforcements to Fang Yue if asked.

Looking at the thick, rolling black clouds in the sky above the capital, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling, a terrifying sight as if a night rain was about to fall, everyone felt uneasy.

However, under Fang Yue's command, they prepared carriages and fast horses, as well as various elixirs plundered from the Raging Fire Sect's treasury.

Fang Yue sat in the carriage, meditating and cultivating, while the others rode fast horses, guarding the carriage.

[System Notification: Congratulations to player [Nightfall Dawn] for killing [Grand Elder of the Raging Fire Sect], Comprehension +5.]

[System Notification: Congratulations to player [Nightfall Dawn] for killing [Grand Elder of the Raging Fire Sect], rewarded with Force Manipulation +0, Force Dissipation +0, Lifespan +10 years, [Bizarre Realm] progress +0%.]

[System Notification: Congratulations to player [Nightfall Dawn], Force Manipulation and Force Dissipation have reached the realm limit and have been converted to [Realm Breakthrough Degree].]

Looking at the system log, Fang Yue wondered if it was because the [Bizarre Realm] had reached its limit. The rewards he received for killing human martial artists had increased significantly, as if the rewards that were originally meant for the Bizarre Realm had been converted into attribute point rewards.

The continuous killing of high-level disciples of the Raging Fire Sect, and finally, the solo kill of the Grand Elder, had greatly increased Fang Yue's strength again. He wasn't far from the [Yun-level High Stage].

And after the Yun-level, there was the legendary Yu-level!

The Yu-level realm seemed to be right in front of him!

However, facing the rolling black clouds in the sky, Fang Yue still felt uncertain.

How strong would the Wu Yu tribe's eerie creatures be inside such a vast black cloud?

Fortunately, this was the capital. If the sky fell, there would naturally be tall people to hold it up.

The Guardian Stone Lions, the Four Great Families, and several princes would surely stand up to support the capital.

He only needed to find a way to protect the people around him.

Thinking this way, Fang Yue relaxed a little.

As soon as he entered the carriage, he immediately took out a large pile of high-grade elixirs plundered from the Raging Fire Sect, swallowing pills while cultivating.

[Name: Surging Canvas Pill]

[Grade: Yun-level Mid-Grade]

[Effect: Stimulates internal force, stimulates acupoints, and is a top-quality elixir to assist in the cultivation of internal force techniques. One pill is hard to come by in a hundred years!]

[Description: Top-quality elixir to assist in cultivation, hard to find even a few in a country!]

[Note: Oh ho! It's a sweet candy!]

Fang Yue swallowed an entire bottle of this [Surging Canvas Pill], about thirty or so, on the spot in order to cultivate his internal force technique.

Who knew how many years the Raging Fire Sect had treasured this stuff? It was all scraped away by Fang Yue and eaten like candy.

In addition to the [Surging Canvas Pill], there were also the [Tranquil Water Pill], which allowed one to cultivate lightness techniques while meditating, the [Sword Anomaly Pill], which assisted in sword techniques and improved sword intent comprehension, the [Peach Sword Pill], and various other elixirs to assist in cultivation.

Fang Yue took them all without hesitation, treating them like candy.

If the others from the Extreme Ice Sect were to see Fang Yue swallowing pills like this, their eyes would probably pop out.

Even these elixirs that assisted in cultivation were still elixirs! The higher the grade of the elixir, the more terrifying the pill toxins. Eating them the way Fang Yue did would probably burn through several lives.

However, Fang Yue didn't care at all. It was already night, and with the Night Breathing Technique as his foundation, he didn't have much fear of elixirs.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong. The Night Breathing Technique did work, but the speed at which the pill toxins dissolved wasn't that fast.

Fortunately, the positive superposition effect of dozens of pills allowed Fang Yue to focus on his cultivation, and he didn't need to swallow any more pills for the time being.

Compared to the wild gallop of his martial arts realm, the martial arts techniques and inheritances he possessed seemed too far behind.

With his current comprehension and the pills he had just swallowed, the efficiency of cultivating the martial arts inherited from Lord Han was extremely exaggerated. The progress he used to accumulate in three days could now be completed in a few minutes!

This increase in efficiency made Fang Yue click his tongue in amazement. No wonder they said that wealth, companionship, methods, and environment were all important. Wealth was also a crucial aspect of cultivation.

In the past, Fang Yue had basically relied on strange stones and basic elixirs to improve his cultivation progress. He had never eaten such powerful cultivation elixirs.

Now that he had started eating them, he felt a little addicted. Once the cultivation speed went up, who could stop?

Without any hesitation, Fang Yue threw himself into cultivation.

This feeling of impacting a higher realm made Fang Yue feel that he was catching up to the former strong step by step!

After all, the peak Lord Han was only at the peak of the Yu-level, and the gap between him and the current Fang Yue wasn't that exaggerated.

The circulation of internal force gave Fang Yue the feeling that he had become the center of an internal force vortex, and all the internal force in his body moved according to his will.

The surging internal force rushed to obey Fang Yue's command, circulating through the heavens.

At the same time, as the internal force flowed through the acupoints, Fang Yue's understanding of the Flowing Ice Mental Technique immediately improved.

Those things that once seemed mysterious and incomprehensible, those incomprehensible internal force flow routes, now seemed to be dissected from the surface, seeing through the inner essence, understanding everything. Fang Yue could even see that the connection of several acupoints was completely to take care of cultivators who didn't have enough cultivation time or strong enough acupoints, and to make up for it.

And a martial artist who had cultivated to a certain level like him could completely abandon these fragile and useless acupoints and take a shortcut-like short cycle.

With this operation, Fang Yue's cultivation progress skyrocketed.

After taking elixirs like the [Tranquil Water Pill] and [Sword Anomaly Pill], he could even cultivate the Flowing Ice Step and Empty Ice Sword Technique by simply simulating the flow of internal force, without the need for actual combat cultivation.

Of course, the efficiency was definitely not as fast as actual combat.

But with his super high comprehension, the cultivation progress was still very fast.
