Twin Pills

Twenty years later.

Medicine King Sect's rear mountain.

On a jade bed, Aaron sat cross-legged in meditation, silently circulating his profound art.

Though he had been stuck at a bottleneck for over a century, he still persisted in practicing every day without fail.

This day.

Just as usual, he went through the Bright Jade Art once more.

Yet Aaron suddenly frowned. He felt the surrounding spiritual energy pouring into his body as the fourteenth level of the Bright Jade Art began to circulate madly, abruptly breaking through into an entirely new realm!
