Chapter 178 Breakthrough

Fang Yue’s room.

“Awesome!”

Fang Yue felt refreshed all over, as if he’d just had a great massage.

Just now, he had swallowed all the remaining One Qi Pills in one go.

The progress of his Lie Huo Heart Technique had directly jumped by more than half!

The effect of this One Qi Pill was simply amazing!

The only problem was that this One Qi Pill was a bit different from the gentle cultivation-increasing pills he had taken before.

The One Qi Pill had a very violent and explosive effect.

Moreover, as the medicinal effect progressed, it would crazily burn one’s lifespan to maintain the rapid growth effect.

If one didn’t burn extra lifespan to cooperate with it, the effect of the One Qi Pill would only be half as effective as ordinary cultivation-increasing pills.

Only by burning lifespan in coordination could the true effect of the One Qi Pill be fully unleashed.

After downing these 10 bottles of One Qi Pills, Fang Yue had already burned two years of his lifespan, which also included the effects of some pill toxins.

But Fang Yue felt it was worth it, especially worth it!

Because if he were to cultivate on his own, even with the help of gentle cultivation-increasing pills, it wouldn't be possible for him to increase the progress of his Lie Huo Heart Technique so quickly!

As for pill toxins...

Okay, he did accumulate some.

The reason for saying this was because he had taken the pills with very little pause, basically continuously swallowing all 10 bottles, 1000 One Qi Pills, one after another.

Even if [Night’s Breath] was strong, it still needed some time to buffer.

Fang Yue endured the excitement in his heart, waiting for the pill toxins to be completely suppressed by Night’s Breath.

He immediately activated the [Two Qi Pills].

Same as before, he gulped them all down.

Glug, glug, glug.

100 [Two Qi Pills] were directly swallowed by Fang Yue.

The internal energy within his body immediately had an even more intense reaction than before.

Without saying a word, Fang Yue began cultivating on the spot.

The progress of the Lie Huo Heart Technique immediately skyrocketed.

When the medicinal effects were completely absorbed, Fang Yue frowned and cursed inwardly, "Damn it! Just a little bit more!"

That’s right, after taking these few bottles of Qi Pills, he was about to break through to the seventh level of the Lie Huo Heart Technique.

Just a little bit more...

But that little bit, if he were to cultivate manually without any external help, it would probably take many days to break through.

After thinking for a moment, and checking the pill toxin situation, Fang Yue took out the second bottle of [Two Qi Pills] and swallowed them all.

He closed his eyes and cultivated.

*Rumble!!*

Like a torrent of rapids, crashing against a dam.

That final push broke through in an instant!

“System Notification: Congratulations to player [Night Dusk] for successfully cultivating. [Lie Huo Heart Technique] has been upgraded to the eighth level, internal energy increased by 600 points, Force Control increased by 120 points, and Force Dissipation increased by 70 points.”

The eighth level of Lie Huo Heart Technique!

Fang Yue was overjoyed, but his mind wavered, and the torrent of rapids immediately became like a runaway train, crashing wildly. Several meridians were immediately damaged, scaring Fang Yue into quickly stabilizing his mind and controlling this rampaging ‘monster’, bringing it back on track.

This time, Fang Yue didn't dare to mess around. He patiently guided and cultivated until the medicinal effects completely disappeared, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the previously damaged meridians, they had already been completely restored under the effects of Night’s Breath.

Night’s Breath is forever godly!

Slowly opening his eyes, Fang Yue felt the surging internal energy brought by the eighth level of the Lie Huo Heart Technique and couldn't help but smile.

“Name: Lie Huo Heart Technique.”

“Level: Top-Tier Houtian.”

“Level: Eighth Level.”

“Restrictions: 50 Force Control.”

“Description: Cultivation will extract a large amount of lifespan. Ignite lifespan, Lie Huo self-immolation, burn the heart to temper the body, the Heart Technique will naturally be formed.”

“Effect 1: Increases Force Control by 200 points. Damage is increased in [Self-Immolation] state.”

“Effect 2: The internal energy accumulated on weekdays can be stored in the [Lie Huo Gouyu], and it can be released in one burst to perform [Lie Huo Explosion]. There will be serious aftereffects, so don’t use it lightly.”

“Note: A Heart Technique exclusive to long-lived races, try it if you dare!”

Finally, the eighth level!

As long as he breaks through one more level, reaches the ninth level of Great Perfection, and then finds a Xiantian realm Heart Technique, he can break through the current realm in one fell swoop and become a Xiantian realm expert!

The path to becoming stronger in Fang Yue’s heart became clear and planned.

If he was still holed up in Gu Yue Village, thinking about finding a Xiantian realm Heart Technique would definitely cause him to worry and lose hair.

But now, Fang Yue didn't have to worry at all.

Because he was in Qing Si County.

In this largest and most prosperous county town in the Hei Qingshan Mountains, there must be Xiantian realm Heart Techniques, and even the Qing Si probably has them internally!

When the [White Cloak Order] merit points are issued tomorrow, he will first go to the Qing Si’s collection of martial arts secret manuals to take a look, and pick out a Xiantian realm Heart Technique to use in advance.

He opened the attribute list.

“Name: Night Dusk.”

“Realm: Top-Tier Houtian.”

“Status: Weird Curse [Black Rain].”

“Health: 800/800.”

“Internal Energy: 2600/2600.”

“Force Control: 941 [Base: 921] [Status/Buff: +20].”

“Force Dissipation: 841 [Base: 821] [Status/Buff: +20].”

“Comprehension: 3. [Special Attribute]”

“Talent: Night’s Breath [Human-Grade High].”

“Skills: Analysis Eye [Human-Grade Low], Nine Cycle Chain Blade [[Fragmented] Houtian Third-Rate], Starfire Blade Technique Level 1 [Houtian Third-Rate], Water Sky Blade Technique Level 1 [Crude Martial Art], Lie Huo Heart Technique [Top-Tier Houtian/Eighth Level] Starfire Heart Technique Level 3 [Houtian Third-Rate/Max Level].”

“Lifespan: 8 years, 6 months, 22 days.”

Although burning his lifespan really made his heart ache, the increase in strength was really fast!

Fang Yue discovered that this game was all about taking pills!

Moreover, he had a unique and huge advantage.

When other people took pills, they still had to worry about pill toxins, consider the medicinal effects, and consider their lifespan.

He had abundant resources, and also had [Night’s Breath] to suppress pill toxins. As long as he cultivated at night, his progress would skyrocket!

The only problem was... he was eating pills too fast, and he was running out of them…

Fang Yue even wanted to exchange [Gold Stones] for pills to eat.

[Stop! Those are my Gold Stones!]

Fang Yue: …

How did this guy wake up?

[The great and noble Parchment-sama, intermittently wakes up!]

Go to sleep, this is none of your business!

Fang Yue rolled his eyes.

Although he was interrupted by the parchment, after Fang Yue calmed down and restrained that spending impulse, he realized that he really couldn’t flaunt the [Gold Stones] in public.

Not to mention that the value of the [Gold Stones] might cause trouble, just the fact that the [Gold Stones] were the engine of the parchment’s rain-grade power meant that they couldn’t be used indiscriminately.

He had to keep them, he absolutely had to keep them!

[Yes! This is my food! I have to keep it!]

Fang Yue expressionlessly put away the [Gold Stone] and asked, "Looking at how active you are, it doesn't seem like you want to continue sleeping. Coincidentally, I have something to ask you, so get up and work."

[Sleepy, sleepy… Parchment-sama is suddenly very sleepy, sleepy!]

“1g of Black Ember.”

[Are you trying to send a beggar away?!]

[The great and noble Parchment-sama is different after sleeping!]

“How are you different?”

[Became better looking!]

“……”
