The Hundred Ghost Great Emperor laughed heartily for several minutes before finally retracting his imposing aura.
Casually handing the Yin Spirit Pill to Qin Xuan, he immediately turned to his old friends and excitedly said, "You guys, hurry and try this pill too!" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"The effect is undeniable, even more potent than what this kid described!"
Ke Wudi and the other two could naturally sense the Hundred Ghost Great Emperor's improved state.
Seeing his elation, they too became filled with anticipation for the pills in their hands.
However, with Qin Xuan still present, they would naturally prioritize his advancement.
"Masters, please do as Senior Hundred Ghost suggested."
"I just advanced with the Peiyuan Pill, and I need to consolidate my own cultivation."
"Taking the Yin Spirit Pill can wait. I can act as your guardian here."
Qin Xuan saw through his three masters' thoughts and spoke before they could.
Upon hearing this, Ke Wudi and the others knew Qin Xuan was considering their feelings.
Exchanging a smile, all three nodded slightly at Qin Xuan before, like the Hundred Ghost Great Emperor, taking a pill from the jade bottle and swallowing it.
Thus, time swiftly passed.
When the four of them slowly stood up from the ground, their immense auras seemed poised to blast a hole through the ceiling.
Fortunately, Qin Xuan had been closely observing their every move.
The moment the four finished absorbing the effects and opened their eyes, Qin Xuan extended his hands, preemptively stabilizing the surrounding objects.
This prevented Ke Wudi and the others' auras from wreaking havoc on the entire room.
Now, Ke Wudi and the others had all consumed the Peiyuan Pill up to their personal limit.
Ke Wudi, Zheng Wanqing, and the Hundred Ghost Great Emperor each took three pills, while Hu Sanqiang, with the best physical constitution, consumed four.
As their auras subsided, all four wore irrepressible smiles.
The reason was simple: everyone's cultivation had improved to varying degrees.
The Hundred Ghost Great Emperor successfully advanced from the mid-stage of the Divine level to the peak of the Divine level.
Ke Wudi and Zheng Wanqing directly reached a higher tier from the peak of the Divine level, equivalent to the mid-stage of Core Formation in a cultivation family!
The greatest improvement, naturally, belonged to Hu Sanqiang, who had consumed the most pills.
Although his strength had not yet reached the late-stage of Core Formation, he had reached the peak of the mid-stage, just a step away from the late-stage!
Such an improvement could be considered a leap forward.
This was true not only for them personally but also for the entire Dragon Country.
For well-known reasons, cultivators above the Divine level had always refrained from participating in national conflicts.
But now, the Dragon Country had suddenly gained three protectors above the Divine level.
Such strength was enough to bridge the insurmountable economic and military gap between the Dragon Country and the United States.
It could be said that from this moment on, the Dragon Country had become the most powerful superpower in the world, without exception!
This excellent news was naturally conveyed to the Summit and the Dragon Head at the earliest opportunity.
While everyone was contacting the Dragon Head, Qin Shoujiang proposed a request that astonished them all.
He wanted Qin Xuan to enter the national treasury and utilize the Dragon Country's resources for his subsequent cultivation!
Upon hearing this request, the Dragon Head fell silent.
Ke Wudi and the others exchanged glances, questioning Qin Shoujiang if it wasn't too early to do so.
Qin Shoujiang, upon hearing this, gently shook his head.
He had already received the answer to this question when Qin Xuan entered seclusion.
Seeing this, everyone knew Qin Shoujiang's mind was made up.
The Dragon Head also nodded slightly, approving Qin Shoujiang's proposal.
Now, the only one in the room with a head full of questions was Qin Xuan, wondering why Qin Shoujiang could make such an excessive request to the Dragon Head.
After all, that was the national treasury, and its resources were only accessible to the nation's most crucial talents.
Faced with Qin Xuan's questioning, though their expressions were complex, they offered no explanation.
Even Qin Shoujiang, who had proposed it, simply smiled enigmatically, showing no intention of explaining the specific reasons.
Qin Xuan, seeing this, wanted to press further, but Hu Sanqiang waved his hand and pulled him away to spar in the woods far from the central sea.
Boom!
Crack!
Bang!
Thump!
After dozens of exchanges, the ground in the woods was already in disarray from their blows.
To everyone's surprise, Qin Xuan could now fight Hu Sanqiang, who was at the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation, to a draw.
This was truly terrifying.
After all, the amount of vital energy within all Core Formation cultivators was incredibly immense.
The reason Core Formation cultivators were called so was that their gaseous vital energy had been converted into a solid vital core within their bodies.
Although they couldn't completely transform it into an invincible vital core before entering the Golden Core stage, this relatively lower-level vital core could already rival the collection of countless gaseous vital energies.
Therefore, even though the Core Formation stage sounded only one level higher than the Divine Venerable or Foundation Establishment stage, the gap between the two was still worlds apart.
"I finally understand why you wanted Xuan'er to meet the Dragon Head."
"His growth rate has far surpassed our imagination."
"But Shoujiang, have you ever considered? Perhaps Xuan'er's future should not be confined to this small Blue Star?"
"The universe is boundless, and only there is where he truly belongs..."
"This..."
Hearing Ke Wudi's emotionally complex words, Qin Shoujiang also fell silent.
He had heard that Qin Xuan had taken a master, someone not of the Blue Star.
But for him, that was ultimately too distant.
What he cared more about was the Blue Star, the Dragon Country.
Undoubtedly, with Qin Xuan's current growth rate, the Dragon Country could easily surpass any other nation in the world.
As long as he was here, no country on the Blue Star could pose a threat to the Dragon Country!
"Forget it, let Xuan'er make his own choices regarding these matters."
Looking at the silent Qin Shoujiang, and then at Qin Xuan, who was fiercely battling Hu Sanqiang in the distance, Zheng Wanqing's eyes also showed deep reluctance.
She knew Ke Wudi was right.
With Qin Xuan's talent and abilities, his goals should not be limited to this small Blue Star.
But people are inherently selfish.
From Zheng Wanqing's perspective, she wished Qin Xuan could stay by her side.
Having spent so much time together, she truly regarded Qin Xuan as her own son.
She hoped to see her child marry, have children, and flourish.
She wished to see her child live a peaceful life.
The universe outside might be wonderful, but it was also fraught with danger.
She did not want to be separated from her child one day.
Nor did she want to receive news of Qin Xuan's demise in the future.
"Old Ghost Ke, Sister Wanqing, quickly lend me a hand!"
"This brat Xuan still has some strength left; the three of us must teach him a good lesson today!"
Amidst her complex emotions, Hu Sanqiang's hearty voice suddenly boomed from afar.
Ke Wudi and Zheng Wanqing exchanged glances, seeing the worry in each other's hearts.
However, at this point, Qin Xuan no longer needed any protection from the three of them.
Since that was the case, it was best to let him make the choice that followed his heart!
