Hexi Pill Revised Edition

Hexi Pill (Revised): After taking it, the user can maximize the activation of their innate Spiritual Power. Side effect: Depletes half of the Spiritual Power's origin.

Hanyu's face darkened. He grumbled inwardly, "Are you going to keep harping on Young Master Xiao's 'thirty years east, thirty years west,' huh? Don't you have any other names?"

"Because I'm not good at naming things!" Little Glazed said matter-of-factly.

"Wait! You said it can be replenished in over ten years? Then how long would it take her to cultivate it to completion if she relied on her own practice?" Han Tu suddenly remembered the little Artifact Spirit's usual style. When would she ever let someone else get the better of her? Lu Dayou would even use a year of his fortune just for a breakthrough in his realm.

The little Artifact Spirit was silent for a moment before replying softly.

"Five years."

"Then she's still getting the results of five years in advance, it's just been cut in half. It's perfectly fair!" the little Artifact Spirit quickly added.

Hanyu's face darkened. He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. This was like cutting off a person's future potential achievements by a significant margin to compensate for the present. It was entirely in line with the little Artifact Spirit's style.

"Ask her yourself, maybe she's willing? This is already an opportunity presented to her. If a person doesn't know how to save themselves, no one can save them!"

On the other side, after Hanyu finished speaking, the three people opposite him didn't react immediately. After a moment of silence, they could only speak again.

"I have a pill, perhaps... perhaps it can change your situation."

Bai Jingliang was the first to jump up, exclaiming in disbelief, "Are you serious?" Hearing that it could change his elder sister's situation, he became excited, not caring what kind of pill it was.

"But..."

Hanyu's "but" instantly brought Bai Jingliang back to his senses.

"Does it still have side effects? And major ones?" Bai Jingliang asked cautiously, his face etched with conflict.

Hanyu nodded, then quietly looked at Bai Junya.

"Taking it will maximize the activation of your Spiritual Power, but the condition for activation is depleting half of your Spiritual Power's origin." He felt a pang in his teeth as he said this, as it sounded just like the little Artifact Spirit's deceptive words.

"Then let me!" Bai Jingliang volunteered. As long as it could help his sister, he didn't care about the side effects. Unfortunately, Hanyu shook his head and swept his gaze over him and Linglan, explaining, "It won't work if you and Linglan take it. It will only be effective if she takes it."

Bai Junya stared blankly at Hanyu, her small mouth slightly open, looking suddenly a bit cute. "Is it really that magical?"

Bai Jingliang had the most to say about this. He frowned but nodded solemnly. "Don't forget he can turn a hundred people into single Spiritual Roots, and... I actually took his medicine too, the kind that speeds up cultivation."

"But, elder sister, you need to consider carefully, the side effects..."

Hanyu nodded and said solemnly, "So, you need to consider it carefully yourself. Eat it or not eat it."

Bai Junya put away her shock and slowly calmed down. After a long while, she suddenly looked up at Hanyu.

"Then why are you helping me?"

Hanyu was a little stunned by this turn of events. Weren't they discussing the side effects? Why was she giving him such a strange look? Bai Junya's expression was indeed a bit complicated. Such a pill was unheard of, and its value was surely immeasurable. Yet this man was giving it to her so generously. Could it be...?

Hanyu felt a blush creep up his neck. Realizing that Bai Junya had misunderstood, he said awkwardly, "Uh... I've given many people pills. Your brother has also received them from me twice." This naturally included the time with Yin Shaoyang.

Bai Junya's face also flushed slightly, realizing she might have been jumping to conclusions.

"Miss Bai, to be honest, you were born into a prominent family. If you want to avoid being controlled by others and are unwilling to cultivate, even if you escape the Qin Family today, there will be other families in the future." Hanyu sighed softly. The little Artifact Spirit was right; self-rescue was the only true path. If a person didn't know how to save themselves, no one else could.

"I'll eat it!"

An resolute voice came from beside his ear. Bai Junya said with a determined expression.

In his mind, Little Glazed cheered happily, "Bottle, time to work! Hurry up and spit out my medicine, quickly."

Hmph!

The Glazed Bottle trembled, and soon a sky-blue pill shot out from its mouth. Before Hanyu could lower it, he reached into his robes and intercepted it from his sea of consciousness.

Bai Junya looked at Hanyu with a resolute expression as he took the pill out of his robes and handed it to her. She took it and, without hesitation, swallowed it in one gulp.

Gulp!

This was the sound of Hanyu swallowing, as Bai Junya's movement of tilting her head back had caused her chest to protrude significantly.

The few of them stood up simultaneously, quietly watching Bai Junya.

It's a bit cold!

This was not only Bai Junya's current feeling, but also everyone else's.

The tea room suddenly felt much cooler, and a dampness gradually spread. Bai Jingliang touched his head; indeed, his face was covered in water stains. He looked up, his face full of shock.

Above their heads, a layer of mist had somehow formed, covering the entire ceiling.

Water droplets began to fall from the mist, just like a light rain.

Splash!

It was actually raining!

The water droplets fell more and more frequently, soon making the floor ring with the sound of splashing!

The few of them had nowhere to hide; it was raining throughout the entire room, and in the end, everyone was soaked.

Bai Junya's palace dress was drenched, revealing her proud curves, her figure completely visible.

Hanyu's eyes feasted on the sight. While others were trying to escape the rain, he wished it would rain harder, preferably for longer.

This was, of course, impossible.

In just a moment, the mist suddenly retracted and all of it entered Bai Junya's body.

In Hanyu's eyes, a sky-blue energy began to be drawn out from Bai Junya's body, converging towards his own.

In his sea of consciousness, the Glazed Bottle was inverted, the sky-blue energy being continuously drawn into its opening. Little Glazed's voice cheerfully called out from his sea of consciousness.

"Faster..."

The others were oblivious. Bai Jingliang and Linglan merely stared at Bai Junya, dumbfounded.

"This is Spiritual Power?" Bai Jingliang asked incredulously. Wasn't this kind of ability the legendary power to summon wind and rain?

"It feels so powerful," Linglan nodded, saying enviously.

Suddenly, the Glazed Bottle fell back down, but Bai Junya's face turned pale. Her body trembled, and a dizzying sensation washed over her, causing her to collapse weakly.

"Careful."

Hanyu, standing nearby, instinctively reached out to support her, catching her full force. A soft weight pressed firmly against him.

"Let go of me!"

A furious roar came from outside the group.

The tea room door, which had been opened at some point, now framed Qin Hao and a cultivator, standing there with grim expressions. Qin Hao's hands trembled uncontrollably.

He had specifically come to Tianning City today to see Bai Junya, but he had missed her after entering the Bai Family's residence.

Later, a servant from the Bai Family reported she was in the tea room, so he rushed over. However, as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw this scene.

The woman he was to marry in a few months was now in another man's arms, and it looked like she had thrown herself at him.

This was simply... simply unbearable to witness.

His entire face turned incredibly red, a surge of blood rushing to his head. Without a second thought, he drew the sword from the cultivator behind him and swung it at Hanyu.

"Take this."

Hanyu shouted to Bai Jingliang before pushing Bai Junya towards him. As the sword energy approached, Hanyu extended his palm and forcefully dispersed it.

"Ghost Sha Kill!"

With a soft cry, True Essence condensed into thousands of needle-like projectiles, each as fine as a cow's hair, aimed at Hanyu.

Pat, pat...

Sounds echoed continuously. Each needle dissolved instantly upon hitting Hanyu. Qin Hao looked on in disbelief.

If not for the small holes pierced into the floor where the needles had landed, he would have doubted if he had held back.

But he hadn't, and this made him both shocked and fearful. Where did such a terrifying physique come from?

Bai Jingliang was even more astonished. He had never imagined Hanyu to be so powerful, and Qin Hao was a cultivator of the Shore Realm!

"Attack together!"

He dared not be careless and called out to the clansmen who had come with him.

"Use a combined attack!"

About a dozen cultivators drew their swords simultaneously. They all held their swords horizontally, and a massive fluctuation shook the entire teahouse.

"Young Master Qin, no."

Bai Junya slowly regained consciousness, her face still pale. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Hanyu facing a group of cultivators alone and quickly spoke out.

Qin Hao mistook her plea for mercy, and his anger intensified.

"Kill him!"

A massive tornado instantly swept through the entire teahouse. Bai Jingliang's expression changed. He grabbed Linglan and Bai Junya with one hand each and quickly rushed out.

Boom!

The teahouse collapsed with a loud roar. Bai Jingliang and the other two narrowly escaped the collapsing area. When they looked back, they saw wails continuously erupting from the massive cloud of dust.

When the smoke cleared, Hanyu stood in the same spot, his upper clothes tattered, but he was unharmed. The cultivators opposite him were slightly out of breath, their chests heaving as they looked at him.

"This... How is this possible..."

The Qin Family's combined attack technique was best at using numbers to overcome strength. Even if a cultivator at the Half-step Divine Peeking realm stood still, they would die from a single hit.

Yet, Hanyu's clothes were merely torn. His signature combined attack ended up being a joke, only managing to ruin someone's clothes.

"Have you had enough?"

Hanyu's expression was terrifyingly grim. That last hit had made him grit his teeth in pain.

Now that he was also enraged, he leaped forward like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, sending one cultivator flying with a single punch.

A cultivator who had just taken to the air to attack from above was met with a cold laugh from Hanyu. With a wave of his hand, his fire-type Spiritual Power transformed into a fire dragon that slithered upwards.

The cultivator was utterly terrified and tried to escape on his sword, but the fire dragon quickly caught up. He was immediately engulfed in flames and plummeted downwards. Hanyu then withdrew his Spiritual Power, only to see the cultivator fall unconscious, half-dead.

"Do you still want to fight?"

Hanyu walked step by step towards the last remaining opponent, staring at the young master Qin Hao.

Qin Hao's face flushed and paled, finally turning ashen. He said stubbornly, "You seduced my fiancée. My Qin Family will not let you go."

"You're spouting nonsense! When did my sister agree to marry you?"

Bai Jingliang suddenly burst in, shouting angrily.

"Heh! It's black and white, signed and sealed. Does your Bai Family intend to renege on the deal?"

Qin Hao sneered at him.

The Bai siblings turned deathly pale. When did this happen? Why didn't they know about it?

"And you, Bai Junya will not end up with you. Having offended the Qin Family, you won't have a peaceful day in Tianning Prefecture."

Qin Hao sneered sinisterly, his face contorting into a grotesque mask, completely losing his noble demeanor.

He could already imagine the Qin Family mobilizing in full force to hunt him down after today. They would surely kill him to vent their hatred.

However, he never considered that Hanyu had no concept of powerful families or the might of the Qin Family.

Hanyu simply remembered the priceless saying: Strike when the time is right.

So he slowly approached. Qin Hao grew somewhat frightened and cried out in panic, "I am Qin Hao, the eldest son of the Qin Family! The Qin of Tianning Prefecture!"

Hanyu found him noisy and said with a cold laugh, "Open your mouth."

Naturally, Qin Hao refused to open his mouth. He had a bad premonition and began to retreat.

Hanyu impatiently closed the distance. Qin Hao tried to escape on his sword, but as soon as he stepped on it, Hanyu grabbed his ankle and violently threw him down before slamming him into the ground.

"Open your mouth!"

Hanyu spoke again.

Qin Hao shook his head vigorously.

"Then I'll force it!"

Qin Hao seemed to hear something terrifying. He tried to cover his backside, but instead, he was punched repeatedly in the abdomen. After spitting out bile, a foreign object was suddenly shoved into his mouth...

His expression turned vacant. He desperately tried to spit it out. Hanyu frowned, seeing him trying to expel the pill, and quickly landed another punch. Qin Hao wailed as he tilted his head back. Seeing that the pill had been successfully swallowed, Hanyu nodded with satisfaction
