Rapid Progress!

"Consumed 2 Medicine Spirits, generated new talent: Hundred Profound Gang Body (Purple)"

Hundred Profound Gang Body (Purple): Immunity to poison; advanced marrow cleansing and hair washing; spiritual energy possesses unique effects, capable of nourishing plants and further refining/sublimating pills; provides extremely high bonuses to Wood Element cultivation methods.

The instant the new talent was generated, Su Hao's spirit jolted, and the world seemed to become clearer.

His perception of the spiritual energy in heaven and earth surged significantly.

He gained an extremely high level of control over his internal body.

From the depths of his bone marrow, flesh, and blood tissues, to the intricate network of his meridians, and even to the entirety of his limbs and organs.

He could clearly sense all impurities, toxins, and residual weak medicinal energies accumulated within.

He could now perform a more thorough marrow cleansing and hair washing at any time, truly expelling all pill toxins and impurities.

Furthermore, his medicinal energy absorption rate approached ten-tenths, infinitely close to a perfect state.

He could make his body more perfect at any time, free of impurities!

His spiritual energy also underwent a silent change, gaining a mystical property and an unusual affinity for plants.

This talent alone was enough to turn an ordinary person into a Wood Element cultivation genius and a master of the Pill Dao!

Compared to Hidden Kill, which was also a purple talent, it seemed inferior, or rather, Hidden Kill was more suited for professional assassins.

The others were confused. For a moment, they felt a powerful oppressive force emanating from Su Hao, but the feeling vanished instantly.

"Senior Disciple Brother Su, what's wrong? What are you smiling about!"

Chen San instinctively took a step back, vaguely feeling that Su Hao was like a pervert.

Su Hao suppressed his smile and glanced at the corpses. "Chen San, you killed them. You handle the bodies. When Alchemist Lin comes out of seclusion, you can explain it to him yourself."

As he spoke, his gaze couldn't help but sweep over the numerous Medicine Slaves.

There were 22 Medicine Slaves remaining.

One of them even possessed a Medicine Slave talent.

The rest were Medicine Person talents.

If all these people died, over 20 "Medicine Person" talent powers...

Eight Medicine Person talents could generate another "Hundred Profound Gang Body." Combined with his own talent, perhaps he could continue synthesizing them?!

As the thought flashed through his mind, a glint of greed appeared in Su Hao's eyes, as if he were looking at a group of prey.

The others felt a chill run down their spines.

"What are you standing around for? Disperse! Don't disturb me unless it's important!"

A few seconds later, Su Hao suppressed his greed and turned to leave.

He couldn't bring himself to slaughter innocent people.

These people, like him, were forced to take medicine and cultivate, becoming materials for cultivation.

If he killed them, what would be the difference between him and a beast like Lin Zhi Shan?!

Lin Miao and Xiong San Yan were Lin Zhi Shan's dogs, harboring malicious intent; those two deserved to die.

"I won't kill them, but everyone has their own fate. These people are incapable of protecting themselves, and can't even resolve the pill toxins from the Heart Nurturing Pill. They'll either die from the toxins or at the hands of Lin Zhi Shan or other disciples. There's no need to rush."

Su Hao dismissed the idea of killing the more than twenty people.

Returning to his room, he began to test the effects of the "Hundred Profound Gang Body."

He first mobilized his Blood Essence again, combined it with spiritual energy, and actively began the marrow cleansing and hair washing. This effect far surpassed the Medicine Spirit talent.

In the time it took for one stick of incense to burn, a faint layer of black grime covered Su Hao's body.

After rinsing it off, he felt completely refreshed, a wonderful sensation of his pores breathing.

Su Hao stood in the hall, shirtless, and suddenly channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into the flower bud of a potted plant.

The flower bud's color became more vibrant, and it began to slowly bloom.

This was the effect of nourishing plants, capable of accelerating growth!

If combined with planting-type spells, the effect would be even more perfect.

"Extracting and sublimating pills..."

Su Hao secretly pondered the information presented by the talent and tentatively picked up a Pure Qi Pill.

He wrapped the pill with his spiritual energy.

As they came into contact, Su Hao, as if by instinct, mobilized his spiritual energy, vibrating at a peculiar frequency.

The pill slowly dispersed specks of gray-black impurities.

The already pale pill visibly became more lustrous and refined.

With seven to eighty percent of the impurities removed, its effects became purer, and its absorption rate would naturally increase!

In other words, the pill's quality had been elevated by a tier!

Su Hao was both surprised and delighted. Judging by the prices at the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, a top-grade Pure Qi Pill cost three times as much as a regular Pure Qi Pill!

Just from this alone, the profit from the price difference could make him incredibly rich.

Immunity to toxins, marrow cleansing, and pill purification.

These three abilities alone were enough to make Hundred Profound Gang Body completely outclass the other purple-tier talent, Hidden Kill.

"I don't believe I can't kill Lin Zhi Shan!"

Su Hao's eyes gleamed with ferocity as he directly poured an entire bottle of Pure Qi Pills into his mouth, chewing and swallowing.

His powerful talent, several times stronger than a Medicine Spirit's, allowed him to withstand more potent medicinal effects and pill toxins.

In just one night, Su Hao consumed 10 bottles of Pure Qi Pills and 3 doses of Spirit Gathering Powder.

Those disciples at Qi Refining Level 10, while possessing strong absorption and digestion, wouldn't dare to do this even if they could achieve such a feat.

Every cultivator understood the principle that "medicine has a three-tenths poison."

Massive pill consumption would lead to unstable spiritual energy and a shaky foundation.

The gradual accumulation of pill toxins over the years would prematurely exhaust the body's potential, making future breakthroughs increasingly difficult and invisibly encountering more bottlenecks.

But Su Hao had no such worries. He had extremely strong resistance to the side effects of pills and could directly ignore the toxins and impurities in low-grade pills.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

"Qi Refining Level 5!"

Eight days after reaching Qi Refining Level 5, "Qi Refining Level 6!"

20 bottles of Pure Qi Pills, 20 doses of Spirit Gathering Powder, 8 bottles of Foundation Solidifying Pills, and 8 bottles of Tiger Heart Pills, totaling 580 low-grade spirit stones in value.

These pills were all consumed.

"Sigh... If Huang Shanyu were willing to give me all the pills as agreed, double the amount, I could definitely reach Qi Refining Level 7!"

Su Hao felt unwilling. It was precisely because of Huang Shanyu's distrust that he refused to provide all the pills, only willing to give an amount equivalent to Lin Zhi Shan's profit share from the pills.

In over 10 days, from Qi Refining Level 4 to Qi Refining Level 6!

Such astonishing cultivation speed was rare within the Golden Light Sect's Outer Sect, and even in the entire cultivation world. It was truly on the level of a genius!

This was only because the quantity of pills was insufficient.

Su Hao couldn't go all out with pill consumption.

Some of his time was spent cultivating the Extreme Intent True Art.

The talent [Hidden Kill] had opened up a fourth spiritual aperture.

The upgraded [Hundred Profound Gang Body] had widened the third spiritual aperture opened by the Medicine Spirit by two times!

Spiritual apertures opened by purple-tier talents were the perfect state for spiritual apertures.

In over 10 days.

He hadn't opened a fifth talent. The spiritual essence transformed from white-tier talents required tens to hundreds of times more effort to open a spiritual aperture compared to blue-tier talents, so he didn't waste any more time on it.

All four spiritual apertures were filled during these days.

Two purple spiritual apertures and two blue spiritual apertures.

Su Hao estimated he could unleash double his strength! He had already pushed the incomplete Extreme Intent True Art to its limit.

If all 10 spiritual apertures were opened, the power would definitely surpass what the incomplete text described.

[Name] Su Hao
[Realm] Qi Refining Level 6
[Talents] Hidden Kill (Purple), Hundred Profound Gang Body (Purple), Fire Elemental Sword Physique (Blue), Sword Heart (Blue), Golden Spirit Body (White), Martial Artist (White), Initial Yang Qi (White)

On the eighteenth day of his seclusion.

Su Hao had almost mastered all the cultivation methods and secret arts. Further seclusion wouldn't yield significant progress.

He opened his room door, his beard unkempt, his eyes slightly bloodshot, his hair disheveled, and his body exuding a thick, foul odor that seemed almost tangible.

His current appearance was more disheveled than the dirtiest beggar in the world.

The stench even permeated the room.

He could rely on taking pills and cultivating to go without sleep or food.

However, his body's metabolism, marrow cleansing, and the impurities and toxins expelled from his pores required time to deal with. He didn't want to waste time on bathing.

Only now did he notice the stench emanating from himself, and even he couldn't stand it.

Footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard. A servant covered his nose, "What's that smell, it's so foul... It seems to be coming from Young Master Su's courtyard."

Su Hao gave a self-deprecating laugh. He channeled spiritual energy to his feet and stomped down, taking flight. His movement was as light as a swallow, and with a few agile maneuvers, he had already flown into the bamboo forest.

In the woods behind the mountain, there was a clear pool fed by a waterfall.

Su Hao, wearing only shorts, stood beneath the waterfall. The rushing water instantly washed away all the filth from his body.

With a height of 1.8 meters, his body had unconsciously become filled with muscle, even developing abs, exuding a strong masculine aura.

"My lord, come here, hurry... I'm so hot."

In the bamboo forest by the clear pool, the woman was scantily clad, with only light gauze covering her body, unable to conceal her warm, white jade-like skin.

Her voice was charming and sweet, her slender fingers beckoning.

The young man was captivated, his eyes filled with the woman's stunning figure as he impatiently pushed aside the grass.

He no longer cared about the sharp blades scratching his arms and palms, desperate to pounce on the woman immediately!
