Chapter 737 - 735: The Method of Leveling Up
"Haha, don’t try to fool me, I heard it all, Grandpa said you have something to discuss with him." Although Wu Mengting said this, she was secretly delighted, at least it showed Chen Tianlong was still trying to make her happy.
Chen Tianlong heard Wu Mengting’s response, and let out a bitter smile, but Wu Mengting was beaming. Seeing her flawless face, Chen Tianlong breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she was not angry.
The two of them didn’t linger, and directly headed to the inner room.
In the hall, Tan Tian was leisurely drinking tea. The company had recently gotten on track, and as the chief research engineer, Tan Tian had completed the latest project, allowing him to take a short break.
When he saw Chen Tianlong arrive, he immediately stood up.
If Tan Tian guessed correctly, Chen Tianlong was here for the school martial arts competition.
"Tianlong, you’re here, come sit over here." Tan Tian treated Chen Tianlong with such enthusiasm, making Chen Tianlong slightly taken aback, then he said to Wu Mengting on the side, "Mengting, go prepare the meal, I have something to discuss with Tianlong."
"Got it, Grandpa." Wu Mengting was in a good mood today, originally planning to cook for Chen Tianlong, to show off her cooking skills, now it was the perfect opportunity.
Chen Tianlong nodded and walked over, sitting on the sofa next to Tan Tian, planning to hear what he had to say first.
Tan Tian cut straight to the point, "Right, Tianlong, you sent me a message saying you have something, what is it?"
Chen Tianlong thought for a moment, organizing his words, "Master, it’s like this, aren’t we preparing to participate in the world high school martial arts tournament? But I’ve seen their people, their strength is very strong."
Saying this, Chen Tianlong gave a bitter smile, and continued, "My current strength can only barely handle one of them, I’m afraid I’ll lose badly and disgrace our country, so I’m wondering if there’s any way to enhance my strength in a day or two?"
"Upgrade in a day or two?"
Tan Tian was stunned, somewhat surprised. If upgrading strength was that easy, it would be good, but after thinking about it, there are ways, but he felt those methods were not feasible, and even if forced upgrades were possible, there’s no such pill.
"Chen Tianlong, there is, but..."
Tan Tian stopped his words at his mouth.
"Master, but what? Say whatever you want directly, if it’s really not possible, we’ll discuss it." Chen Tianlong didn’t come with the intention of finding a sure solution, just to understand, if there was a way, he would have much more confidence.
You know, if he could upgrade one level, not only his strength would increase, but he could also learn the second move of his martial technique, Flaming Frenzy Dragon Fist, which would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to Chen Tianlong.
"This... Okay, I’ll tell you. Originally, I was worried if you found such a pill and took it, there would be side effects. It’s said that after taking this pill, you can break through levels, but there’s a drawback, which is after taking it once, your body’s absorption speed of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is halved, and subsequent uses essentially make your body’s absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi zero." Tan Tian explained softly.
In this modern age where Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is already scarce, even if your absorption is considerable, without Chen Tianlong’s Heaven-defying Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique Heart Method, it still wouldn’t be much help to cultivation, not to mention three-time reductions.
Summarizing Tan Tian’s words, Chen Tianlong found it easy to reach a conclusion, which is after eating what the master said, the body’s absorption of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi becomes near zero.
"Master, I understand your point, but I’m still curious about what this pill is all about, that it’s so miraculous, enabling instantaneous level-up." Chen Tianlong’s interest wasn’t focused on absorption but on this pill.
Because his cultivation doesn’t rely on absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi on his own, but rather through his Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique. Actually, before he learned this Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique Heart Method, his cultivation was practically ineffective.
"Qi Gathering Pill..."
From the master’s mouth, these three words slowly emerged, this pill is the Divine Medicine in the cultivation world, a dream pursued by countless cultivators.
In this day and age of scarce Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, trying to upgrade through sheer effort in less than a year and a half is impossible, and some cultivators with weak natural talent require even longer.
And the further you progress, the harder it becomes, usually reaching the Profound Dao, and unable to advance further, even if possible it would take decades, by which time the chances are slim.
"Qi Gathering Pill? What kind of Divine Medicine is that, how can it be obtained?"
Upon hearing the name, Chen Tianlong was utterly unfamiliar with it, but from the literal meaning, it’s a pill that gathers Powerful Qi, which has the same function as his own Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique?
"Right, it’s the Qi Gathering Pill, divided into Small Qi Gathering Pill and Great Qi Gathering Pill. The Small Qi Gathering Pill is generally for early level enhancements, one pill causes a breakthrough, above Profound Dao requires the Great Qi Gathering Pill."
When Tan Tian mentioned this, he thought for a moment, seemingly recalling something, and suddenly stood up and walked toward his bedroom. "Wait a moment, I’ll go get something."
Tan Tian went into the house, rummaging as if searching for something, leaving Chen Tianlong waiting outside. A few minutes later, Tan Tian returned, clutching an old-looking book in his hand.
"Tianlong, here is information on the Qi Gathering Pill, it seems to even include color illustrations, although slightly old, you can still clearly see its appearance." Tan Tian said while handing over the book.
Chen Tianlong took the book, opened the page marked with a little bookmark, and, somewhat excited, began to browse. After watching for a few dozen seconds, Chen Tianlong seemed to remember something, directly pulling out a small yet delicate box from his small jacket.
Eagerly, he opened the box and took out a smooth black object from inside, compared it with the book, and said, "Master, I think I have one of these things, not sure if it’s the same one."
This time, Chen Tianlong brought it along, intending to ask what it was, only to inadvertently discover it matched.
At this, Tan Tian was stunned. Originally, he was wondering what Chen Tianlong was up to, only to see him produce a pill, and Lin Dongfang was equally surprised, hurriedly approaching and scrutinizing it in his hand, saying, "It’s indeed a Qi Gathering Pill, and a genuine one, valued at over ten million, how did you come by it?"
"Huh?"
This time, it was Chen Tianlong’s turn to be astounded, how could a black pill pill obtained from a Lion Beast at the zoo be a Qi Gathering Pill, worth over ten million, what kind of global joke is this?
"Indeed, if it’s truly a Qi Gathering Pill, this quality costs at least ten million to purchase, and it’s rarely seen on the market, usually appearing in ancient realms or at cultivator auctions." Tan Tian added.
