She muttered quietly, "It really is the Mystic Water Pill. Four of them—is that guy called Xu Sanshi really that much of a sucker? No wonder Qian Chaoguang called him an idiot."

For some reason, as if possessed, Wang Dong moved a chair over and stared without blinking at Qian Chaoguang's undershirt soaked through by the icy mist, and at the marble-sculpture-like muscles beneath it.

Very soon, Wang Dong noticed something was off.

He knew very well what kind of pill the Mystic Water Pill was. Its greatest effect was cleansing the meridians and remolding the marrow.

This icy mist would be continuously inhaled and exhaled through the taker's pores, bringing out large amounts of impurities from the body and meridians.

And yet.

These wisps of icy mist had moved in and out of Qian Chaoguang's body for ages, so why had not the slightest impurity seeped out?

Not only that, the fresh fragrance instead grew richer and richer, and it actually smelled rather pleasant.

Before she knew it, Wang Dong, unable to figure out the reason, gradually fell asleep sprawled over the back of the chair.

Of course she did not know that Qian Chaoguang had already undergone an incomparably thorough cleansing of the meridians and remolding of the marrow when he fused with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

No, that could no longer be called cleansing the meridians and remolding the marrow. It had been a complete reconstruction of his meridians, an effect countless times stronger than the Mystic Water Pill's.

On top of that, Qian Chaoguang had always trained bitterly in the Golden Body Art.

After cultivating the Flawless Body, his body had become incomparably pure. It would not be an exaggeration to call him a fine piece of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Add to that the Bloodline Power smoke scouring him day and night, at every moment and in every place, constantly tempering every inch of flesh and blood, and of course no impurities would be expelled now.

Late at night, Qian Chaoguang opened his eyes. The light slowly drew inward, and the room returned to pitch-black darkness once more.

He breathed out a stream of white icy mist and slowly stretched his slightly stiff muscles and bones.

"The Mystic Water Pill was just a tiny bit more useful than I imagined."

Qian Chaoguang slowly urged the soul power in his body to circulate through the Greater Circulation, while his Bloodline Power also roamed through every corner of his body.

In places invisible from the outside, more than one-fifth of the blood vessels and meridians in Qian Chaoguang's body had already transformed into that incomparably resplendent light-forged color.

As the circulation completed, those lights gradually dimmed as well, revealing a warm, restrained luster like jade.

"This feeling of advancement seems pretty nice. This comfortable sensation is even a little addictive. I wonder if breaking through a major level will feel this good too. I hope... it won't be as painful as breaking through to the Spirit Master level."

Qian Chaoguang rubbed his chin, recalling the feeling when he had advanced earlier.

Unexpectedly, by borrowing the medicinal power of this Mystic Water Pill, he had successfully stepped from the peak of rank thirteen into rank fourteen.

Yes, it had only increased by that tiny amount.

Even though his soul power vortex and platform base had squeezed the medicinal power inside the Mystic Water Pill until practically nothing remained, achieving perfect absorption, Qian Chaoguang's Soul Power Level had only risen by that tiny amount.

This was the downside of having accumulated far too much.

Judging by his current situation, Qian Chaoguang even suspected that even if he took a Soul Ascension Pill that could raise a Soul Elder by one rank, he might still be unable to advance by a single rank.

"The Mystic Water Pill is too little use to me. It can only speed up my cultivation progress by an insignificant amount. I might as well give it to Xiao Tong. Three Mystic Water Pills should be enough to raise her to the level of Innate Full Soul Power no matter what. Hm? What's this guy doing? Don't tell me she's been staring at me this whole time?"

Just as Qian Chaoguang was thinking, he sensed something was a little off at the edge of his vision. He subconsciously lowered his head for a look, only to see a Wang Dong sleeping soundly while sprawled over the back of a chair.

"Tsk. Her personality's so nasty, but she's actually pretty easy on the eyes when she's asleep. I really can't understand what those two blockheads Da Ming and Er Ming were thinking, agreeing to something as absurd as Wang Dong disguising herself as a boy."

Qian Chaoguang muttered under his breath. His gaze swept over, and a fur blanket Wang Dong usually covered herself with actually flew up on its own, swaying unsteadily as it covered Wang Dong.

This dead-asleep fellow did not wake at all, aside from mumbling some dream talk no one could understand.

"Divine Sense Object Manipulation... A little difficult. Looks like my accumulation still isn't enough to support using this as a regular attack method. Even lifting a blanket is shaky."

After stretching his body, Qian Chaoguang sat back down on the bed and muttered quietly, a rare dejected expression appearing on his face.

Ever since his Mental Power had transformed into divine sense, Qian Chaoguang had taught himself the ability to manipulate objects with his divine sense, as though it were an instinct engraved into his genes.

The first time he had unintentionally used his divine sense to lift something, he had even taken it into his hand before realizing what earth-shattering thing he had just done.

But.

Obviously, lifting and swiftly moving a heavy object was no easy task. It likewise required long practice.

His dream of commanding a flying sword to whoosh around wildly right from the start had shattered.

"I really don't know when I'll be able to reach the level of 'with a single thought, a flying sword takes an enemy's dog head from a thousand miles away.' I'd better hurry up and cultivate, and try to make that day come sooner."

Not long after entering cultivation, Qian Chaoguang suddenly woke with a start.

"Damn, I almost forgot. There's a great chance to fleece someone tomorrow morning. I nearly missed it. Gotta have Tian Meng act as an alarm clock."

Early the next morning, dazzling sunlight shone into the dorm room, rousing Wang Dong from deep sleep.

"Hiss... Why did I sleep on a stool all night? Ahhh! My legs are numb! I can't even feel my arms!"

The newly awakened Wang Dong staggered and almost fell.

She endured the discomfort in her body and stood up from the stool with a grimace, her movements uncannily resembling a creature known as a zombie.

As she got up, the blanket fell to the floor. The shriek that followed almost faintly pierced through the extremely soundproof walls.

"Ah! My blanket!!!"

By this time, Qian Chaoguang could no longer hear her scream.

Right now, he was pulling Huo Yutong along, going around the New Student Teaching Building, heading east along the south side of Shrek Plaza, and arriving at the small path by Sea God Lake.

The two of them had already been wandering around here for half an hour, without the slightest sign of Ma Xiaotao.

A gentle waft of moisture mingled with fresh air washed over them. Although Sea God Lake was only an artificial lake, the scene before them could be described perfectly by a certain passage from the elementary school text "Qinghai's Lake, a Dreamlike Lake."

Not a single word would need changing.

Huo Yutong still wore a faint little look of grievance.

Clearly, the ultra-luxury breakfast Qian Chaoguang had just spent the massive sum of sixty Gold Soul Coins on had not fully dispelled Huo Yutong's anger over certain things he had done yesterday.

Anyone who was suddenly ordered to run until they fainted, while also having to keep circulating the Mysterious Heaven Skill to cultivate the entire time, probably would not be in a wonderful mood.

Even if the person making her do it was her brother.

Thanks to the two bosses Quasar and Good IDs Are All Gone for the tips.
