Obtaining another Minor Realm Pill boosted Chen Lin's confidence considerably.
He also changed his mind, deciding to use both pills together once his cultivation broke past Law Origin Early-Stage. Otherwise, he might end up like the owner of this second pill, sewing a wedding gown for someone else to wear.
Only treasures he actually used were truly his.
Having made his decision,
Chen Lin put Long Zequan and the other two in charge of keeping watch in shifts. Instead of hurrying to sail onward, he used every usable heaven and earth treasure except the Minor Realm Pills and entered secluded cultivation.
A year passed.
Heaven rewarded painstaking effort.
With his own cultivation experience, a wealth of heaven and earth treasures, and theoretical support from Shadow Scholar, Chen Lin finally broke through, advancing from Law Origin Early-Stage to the mid-stage.
However, as a Runic Practitioner, he no longer needed to undergo core formation.
He merely released a little more of the seal on himself.
No heavenly tribulation descended, either.
In this respect, cultivators whose original cultivation had been high still held an advantage. A normal breakthrough would inevitably bring a heavenly tribulation. Never mind whether they could survive it-once it appeared, there was no telling how much trouble it would attract.
Sensing the increase in energy within his body, Chen Lin smiled in satisfaction.
Without pausing,
he immediately took out both Minor Realm Pills, picked one up, and tossed it into his mouth.
The pill dissolved the moment it entered his mouth.
Yet it produced no vast surge of energy. Instead, a peculiar power swept through his body, and his cultivation changed from Law Origin Early-Stage to Law Origin Later Stage.
It was miraculous.
But Chen Lin did not care about the process, so long as the result met his expectations.
