Spirit Medicine Realm Origin, Battle Power Soared

"Spirit Medicine Realm Origin?"

This was Ye Xuan's first time obtaining world origin through a check-in, and he had no idea what it did.

"System, claim the reward!"

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Xuan claimed the reward anyway. He had already obtained enough rewards since entering the Spirit Medicine Realm that even if the realm discovered him now and expelled him, he would still have made a killing.

The moment Ye Xuan finished speaking, thunder cracked across the sky and fierce winds swept through. The space before him shattered layer by layer, and a wisp of grayish-yellow origin emerged from the shattered space and settled on him.

Boom!

Thunder exploded across ten thousand miles, and Spiritual Qi surged backward, forming a tide that rushed toward Ye Xuan.

Vast quantities of Spiritual Qi poured into Ye Xuan's body. His face flushed red, and only by desperately circulating the Chaos Dao Scripture did he avoid being burst apart by the sudden influx.

"Golden Core Peak!"

A long while later, Ye Xuan opened his eyes and dispersed the dark clouds overhead with a wave of his hand.

As the Spirit Medicine Realm's world origin descended, the Spiritual Qi that came flooding in pushed Ye Xuan's cultivation straight to Golden Core Peak, saving him half a month of check-ins.

Moreover, Ye Xuan felt that obtaining the Spirit Medicine Realm origin had greatly improved his strength as well. World origin had an extremely powerful amplifying effect on strength. With just this wisp, Ye Xuan could feel that his strength had increased by at least thirty percent.

This check-in at the Spirit Medicine Realm had truly earned him a fortune.

"My breakthrough to Nascent Soul is imminent. If I check in again then, I might obtain even more Spirit Medicine Realm origin."

Ye Xuan immediately grew excited. With more world origin, his strength would increase dramatically as well.

Inside his Dantian, a wisp of the Spirit Medicine Realm's origin coiled around Ye Xuan's black core, giving it another color.

With this wisp of origin, Ye Xuan felt earth-shattering changes take place within him, along with an unseen connection to the Spirit Medicine Realm.

Native creatures would feel a trace of goodwill toward Ye Xuan upon first meeting him. This was the affinity brought by world origin.

If he fought someone within the Spirit Medicine Realm, Ye Xuan felt that his strength could increase by at least twenty percent.

From another perspective, Ye Xuan was now the son of destiny within the Spirit Medicine Realm. His future cultivation here would be smooth sailing, with fortuitous opportunities coming one after another.

Setting off once more, Ye Xuan adjusted his direction again. He could sense a place of fortuitous opportunity not far ahead that would greatly benefit him.

Along the way, Ye Xuan began finding more thousand-year-old spirit medicines, some even nearly ten thousand years old. This gave him a clearer understanding of the benefits of world origin.

Ji Fenghe did not know that Ye Xuan had obtained an immense boon. Even if he had known, he would only have offered his blessings.

Now, he too had discovered a boon of his own.

A Demon Sect disciple. An arrogant Demon Sect disciple. A Demon Sect disciple who wanted to kill him.

Recently, Ji Fenghe had gathered plenty of spirit medicines and made quite a few poison pills, but when he looked around, he could not find any animals to test them on.

Along the way, Ji Fenghe had encountered a Flame Moon Sect disciple, but the man had been exceedingly polite and had even warmly invited Ji Fenghe to travel with him, leaving Ji Fenghe too embarrassed to act.

Now, a Demon Sect disciple had appeared, and one from the Blood Demon Sect at that. This piqued Ji Fenghe's interest.

"Haha, an Azure Feather Dao Sect disciple! It's your bad luck to run into me."

A savage grin appeared on Liang Kuang's face. Looking at the harmless-seeming Ji Fenghe, he was already plotting how to torment him.

Ji Fenghe was the first person he had encountered. After wandering aimlessly through this boundless place, he had long wanted some amusement, and running into Ji Fenghe now made him laugh aloud.

Ji Fenghe looked down at the outer sect robes he had yet to change out of and decided he had better change them later. That way, when he encountered Flame Moon Sect or Puppet Sect disciples, he could lure them into striking first.

Looking at Liang Kuang before him, Ji Fenghe also revealed a strange smile.

He could sense that Liang Kuang was quite strong, even a shade stronger than himself, but Ji Fenghe was not afraid in the slightest. Instead, he grew even more excited.

The stronger he was, the greater his resistance to poison, and the longer he could live.

"What's with that look?"

Ji Fenghe's smile made Liang Kuang's hair stand on end, and he shouted.

Ji Fenghe did not answer, counting off the time on his fingers.

"Seven, six, five..."

Liang Kuang frowned, sensing that something was amiss. He immediately raised his saber and charged at Ji Fenghe, the fierce wind from his blade blowing Ji Fenghe's bangs aside.

The Blood Demon Sect followed the law of the jungle in training its disciples. Only the strongest disciples could obtain a place on the trip to the Spirit Medicine Realm.

Although Liang Kuang had not ranked among the strongest in this selection, he was still in the middle ranks. Having broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his strength could not be underestimated.

"Four, three..."

Ji Fenghe had just counted to three when Liang Kuang's expression suddenly changed drastically. He withdrew his saber and retreated, taking out a number of pills and swallowing them.

"Despicable! You actually poisoned me!"

Liang Kuang glared furiously at Ji Fenghe. When he had circulated his cultivation method just now, he had suddenly felt some resistance. The Spiritual Qi within his body had actually slipped somewhat beyond his control and had even threatened to reverse its flow, leaving him shaken.

"Two, one."

Turning a deaf ear to Liang Kuang's curses, Ji Fenghe finished the countdown with anticipation on his face.

The instant the countdown ended, Liang Kuang's face suddenly flushed red, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood. His eyes turned pitch-black, leaving him unable to see, and his body went weak. He barely managed to prop himself up with his long saber.

"What did you do to me? I already took antidote pills!"

Clutching his chest, Liang Kuang roared. His heart was now filled with regret. He should not have wasted so many words on Ji Fenghe. If he had attacked with all his strength from the start, Ji Fenghe probably would not have been able to use such underhanded methods.

Even a fierce tiger had to use its full strength to catch a rabbit.

"Poisoned you, of course. From the time you appeared until just now, I used seven poisons on you. You neutralized three, and the other four have taken effect."

Ji Fenghe spoke as though it were only natural, then took out a notebook and wrote.

"Mixed poisons, colorless and odorless. Ordinary antidote pills can neutralize three. Onset time: ten breaths. Early Foundation Establishment cultivators have no resistance whatsoever. Maximum survival time after onset: thirty breaths."

Ji Fenghe watched Liang Kuang's darkening face, estimating the time of his death.

Of course, Ji Fenghe could not possibly stand by and watch Liang Kuang die. He still had several poisons he had yet to test.

Only after putting away Liang Kuang's weapon and Qiankun Bag and sealing his strength did Ji Fenghe unhurriedly feed him a specially made antidote pill.

A long while later, Liang Kuang woke from his coma. Looking at Ji Fenghe, who was still taking notes beside him, he revealed a surprised expression.

"You're not going to kill me?"

"Of course not. You'll stay alive and well. You'll even be able to return to the Blood Demon Sect."

Ji Fenghe smiled and solemnly assured him.

Looking at Ji Fenghe's smile, Liang Kuang felt a chill run through his entire body. He thought it might have been better if he had died just now.
