Chapter 43 - 45

Laotzu: Xiaobei, say it! How do you want me to repay you? Man! This is so awesome! I'm gonna take another puff! (Enjoyment)

Chen: I would like to have a Skybreaking Cultivation Pill.

Laotzu: No problem! Get ready to receive my personal package, compiled all for you! (Acting cool emoji)

Ding!

[Congratulation! You have snatched a Red Envelope from The Grand Supreme Lord Laotzu. You received a Skybreaking Cultivation Pill. It has been stored in your treasure chest!]

"Haha! What a cool guy! Let me check it out!" Chen thought, eager to open his treasure chest.

Ding!

[Skybreaking Cultivation Pill; personally crafted by the Grand Supreme Lord Laotzu. It's a low tier heavenly pill. Humans and deities can use this pill to advance their cultivation. (PS: You can only use it when you reach the pinnacle stage.) Do you wish to withdraw it?]

"What the hell?! Even deities can use it for their breakthrough?! This is so awesome!"

Chen was hyped up when he read the note.

"Now, I'm at pinnacle stage of physical phase. I'm still really far away from becoming Divine Mortal. According to Yanwang, I think I should just lick it for an instant breakthrough! Why am I still waiting?" Chen thought.

Then, he withdrew the pill without any hesitation! A silver pill appeared in Chen's hand after the flash! There was some residue of light around the pill. It looked like something out of this world!

"Wahahaha! I just exchanged something so awesome for a packet of cheap cigarettes! This turned out better than I thought! Let me lick it now!"

Chen lifted the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill up like a lollipop and took a lick.

"Eh?!"

Suddenly, Chen's pupils contracted and Chen showed a shocking face! He can feel an intense amount of energy filled his body. His whole body, including his muscles, bones and even his pole, went through a magical transformation!

At the same time, his Netherspirit Battlescouter was activated automatically. He could see his power level increasing from three thousand to five thousand within thirty seconds!

"What the hell!! This is incredible!"

Chen was so shocked.

But, the process of breaking through was not even over yet. After the foundation is built, breaking through the core of his cultivation will be the next step!

Qi!

Chen had the Dragon Force in his body since the day he started to work on the Scripture of Heaven and Earth. At the same time, the Dragon Force inside Chen's body started to go wild. It went through a transformation under the effect of the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill!

The diluted Dragon Force in his body became concentrated, solid, reliable and powerful! Through the Netherspirit Battlescouter, Chen could see that his combat power was increasing tremendously. In other words, the Dragon Force had transformed into its own Qi phase.

Physical phase means the utilization of outer strength. Qi refinement refers to the utilization of inner strength. Qi will be continuously strengthened throughout one's training. Thus, when one's Qi is solid and powerful, his/her inner strength will become powerful as well. It will affect one's combat power directly.

Within half a minute, the Dragon Force had transformed into Qi phase! Chen's combat power had increased from three thousand to five thousand!

Ding!

[Congratulation! You have successfully gone through a cultivation breakthrough!]

Ding!

[You are now at the early phase of Qi refining stage. Health: 5000, Combat power: 5000!]

"Breakthrough! And, it only took one freaking minute! Man, this Skybreaking Cultivation Pill is definitely an awesome product of Lord Laotzu! Muahahaha…"

Chen thought and jumped excitedly. Increasing his combat power was one the many dreams he had every single day. He never thought that it could have been achieved so easily! The simplicity of the process was beyond one's imagination!

Murong Tian had used ten years to reach the early phase of Qi refining stage from the pinnacle stage of Qi refining phase. Chen had only used a minute to achieve his breakthrough. Murong Tian will definitely be so angry if he knew about this matter! Those people who have spent ages but still fail to achieve the Qi refining stage will go psychotic if they knew about the existence of this magical pill.

Chen was drunk in happiness thanks to such a speedy breakthrough. After that, Chen tried to activate the Scripture of Heaven and Earth. He found that there was no difference from before. Thus, Chen will still get more powerful if he trains with the scripture. However, Chen could feel a strange sensation towards his surroundings. This was known as; the sensation of Qi!

After the breakthrough, Chen could feel the Qi being released by objects around him, the air itself, and several other sources. His training progress would be sped up if he absorbs the Qi around him. But, the Qi around him was too diluted. It was close to none. Chen experienced two seconds worth of an otherworldly rush. Then, there was no more Qi around him.

"Damn! I was getting ready to enjoy the process! There's too little Qi around me!" Chen grumbled.

"The Monkey King did mention something like the earth is actually a lost land. I think this should explain why there is so little Qi around me. If I can find a place with tonnes of Qi, then, my training will definitely be sped up again!"

Chen possessed Scholar Heart, thus, his ability of deduction and imagination was ten times more powerful than others. Actually, there were several places with condensed Qi on this very earth, but it was occupied by some powerful force. Well, that would be the future. Chen can't do anything about it, even if he knows about it. There is a saying; Don't drill the ground if you don't have the right drill.

*Ring!*

Lin Xiang called Chen.

"Hello, Xiang Xiang princess. Are you missing me?" Chen picked up the call and laugh evilly.

"Chen Xiabei! You are an *sshole! How can you flirt with a teacher?! No! You are a freaking animal!

Chen never expected the person on the other side of the phone to yell and scold him.

"Flatboard Princess?!"

Chen had Mastery of Sound with him, thus, he could identify the person's voice immediately.

"You are flat! You whole family is flat!"

Murong Xiaoyao was so triggered that she screamed from the other end of the phone. She would have definitely thrown her fists at Chen if they were talking face to face.

"Erm…Why did you use Ms. Lin's cellphone to call me?" Chen asked.

"Initially, she wanted to call and talk to you. But, the vice principal summoned her when the call was connected. So, she asked me to talk to you!"

Xiaoyao said dutifully, "Finally, I've caught you red-handed! Your true colors have been revealed to me!"

"Don't even try me! You know that I'm in a relationship with Xiang Xiang! You are not even my girlfriend! You have no right to judge me!"

Chen pouted and said, "I'm going to hang up first. I have something to attend to!"

"Don't you forget that we are still a pretend pair! You'll still have to help me mess up Yap Liangchen!" Xiaoyao said.

"Hmph! You have to obey me if you want me to help you! If not, I will tell the truth to Yap!"

Chen raised his eyebrows and threaten Xiaoyao.

"You…You win this time!"

She had to suppress all her anger.

Then, she said in a deep voice, "Ms. Lin wants me to inform you something."
