Chapter 206: Conception, The Wondrous Use of Meridian Recurrence Pill
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
The evildoers of Tonggu City stood on rooftops, watching the Tiger Demon being stabbed to death by Mo Ying with a sword, their courage almost shattered.
Although Mo Ying was temporarily unable to make a move, no one dared to approach, for fear that she would suddenly jump up, cleave with her sword, and beneath the Element Gathering Realm, no one could block her.
Moreover, Ji Ziling also seemed to be strong, so the evildoers could only hide from afar and peek, with some even sneaking away.
Ye Feng looked at the Heaven-Asking Mirror while opening the system panel.
[Outer Sect Disciple Mo Ying: In the Condensing Qi into Reality stage, attempting to break through the final bottleneck, about to condense her Spiritual Sense, success rate 73%, 69%, 53%, 44%…]
Seeing the system’s prompt, Ye Feng felt a sense of dread.
“System, why is Mo Ying’s success rate continuously dropping?”
“Because Mo Ying is undergoing a passive breakthrough. If she were to loosen the bottleneck after a fierce battle, and then try to break through the realm, with her Upper Grade cultivation talent, the success rate would be one hundred percent. But this time, Mo Ying was injured during a major battle, could not control her own Spiritual Energy, and passively tried to Condense Qi into Reality, with inadequate preparation… ding, breakthrough failed!”
Towards the end, the system’s voice seemed a bit cold.
“It failed so quickly…”
Ye Feng clenched his fists tightly, his face full of worry, and extended his hand, conjuring three elixirs out of thin air, emanating a refreshing fragrance.
These were Meridian Recurrence Pills attained after completing the second phase of the Sect Leader’s tasks. After failing to break through the Element Gathering Realm, taking this pill allowed the meridians to revert to their original state, providing an additional opportunity to challenge the Element Gathering Realm.
“Luckily, there are Meridian Recurrence Pills, otherwise, Mo Ying, who failed to break through, would have been stuck below the Element Gathering Realm for life.”
Ye Feng silently rejoiced.
Tonggu City.
Mo Ying spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, feeling a piercing pain throughout her meridians, like they were twitching, or as if they had been slashed by icy blades, very painful.
“I failed…”
She smiled bitterly.
Upon seeing Mo Ying opening her eyes, Ji Ziling’s eyes showed joy, but hearing the word “failed”, her look drastically changed.
“Senior sister, wasn’t your aura nearly ten times stronger? How could you have failed…” Ji Ziling was very puzzled.
“My meridians expanded, almost all Spiritual Energy transformed into True Yuan, increasing my own aura ninefold, and my combat strength significantly boosted. But my Spiritual Sense hadn’t condensed, failing at the very last step,” Mo Ying sighed.
“How could that be?” Ji Ziling couldn’t figure it out.
Mo Ying stood up, but suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her meridians, and she grunted, quickly leaning on Ji Ziling for support to keep from falling, her aura gradually sliding down, eventually stabilizing at six times the peak of the Qi Refinement Ninth Stage.
“Sister, are you alright?” Ji Ziling quickly offered up some Spirit Spring Water.
“This is meridian contraction; Spirit Spring Water is useless,” Mo Ying waved her hand, “Generally speaking, after a failed attempt at advancing, the meridians will shrink by a fraction, resulting in a decrease in strength, only able to exhibit half of the Element Gathering Realm’s capabilities.”
Ji Ziling bit her lip, comforting her, “Senior sister, think of it another way, your strength has also increased several times over what it was before, and in the future, even when facing an ordinary Element Gathering Realm’s first stage, you’ll have the strength to fight.”
“Sigh…”
Mo Ying sighed.
With her Upper Grade cultivation talent, she would be nurtured as a future Sect Master in any major sect. By being cautious, advancing to the Element Gathering Realm would have been no problem.
Eager for a quick breakthrough, Mo Ying chose to battle fiercely.
But she underestimated the Tiger Demon’s strength, ending up being hit so hard that she was forced into a passive breakthrough, insufficiently prepared, and ultimately it failed.
“From now on, I can only stop before reaching the Element Gathering Realm,” Mo Ying said with a wry smile, retracting her Breeze-riding Sword, and looking around at those evildoers with cold glints in her eyes.
“Run for it!” The complexions of the evildoers of Tonggu City changed drastically as they scrambled away in a complete mess.
Mo Ying drew her sword from its sheath, the Sword Combat Technique unfolded in one hand, and terrifying swaths of sword light were slashed out, chopping down evildoers like slicing through vegetables, instantly claiming the lives of dozens.
“Senior sister…” Ji Ziling wanted to say something, but in the end, she drew her sword and followed in Mo Ying’s footsteps.
The two women sliced left and right, with sword Qi soaring in all directions.
In Tonggu City, evildoers were continuously struck down, and thousands of the suffering people were liberated, kneeling in the streets, filled with endless gratitude toward the two women.
“Please spare us, celestial beings!”
Chop!
With the last of Tonggu City’s evildoers falling to Ji Ziling’s sword, this Ancient City, which had been under the Tiger Demon’s tyranny for nearly a decade, finally regained its freedom and past happiness.
“We thank you, celestial beings!”
“Immortal Masters of the Misty Sect, holy spirits!”
The citizens of Tonggu City gathered at the docks, thanking and sending off Ji Ziling and Mo Ying, standing on a solitary leaf-like vessel, with offerings of cured meat, vegetables, and fish, almost sinking the small boat.
“Everyone, until we meet again.”
Ji Ziling performed a sword salute to the crowd, then, using telekinesis, rowed the boat against the gently rippling current of the Flowing Water River.
Mo Ying stood with her arms crossed at the bow of the boat, silently pondering.
Ji Ziling watched her somewhat desolate figure, sighing helplessly.
Misty Peak.
Ye Feng, watching the two women return the way they had come through the Heaven-Asking Mirror, could feel Mo Ying’s mood and produced a Meridian Recurrence Pill in his palm.
“Give her another surprise when Mo Ying comes back,” he said to himself.
Ye Feng muttered.
Hum!
The Refining Furnace beside him suddenly opened, and a rosy light blossomed, with three ancient bronze Copper Coins, covered with delicate patterns, floating quietly in the air.
[Copper Coin Spirit Shield: Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact]
[Note: Carefully forged by the Refining Furnace, this set of three Copper Coins combines into a defensive Spiritual Artifact, capable of withstanding the full-force attack of a Demi-transformed Demon Beast without breaking.]
This was a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact that Ye Feng had just forged.
With this, the energy accumulated in the Refining Furnace had reached 40%.
“After forging 60 more Lower Grade Spiritual Artifacts, or six Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts, the Refining Furnace can be upgraded to an Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact,” Ye Feng murmured, then put away the Copper Coin Spirit Shield and looked at the Meridian Recurrence Pill in his palm, “It’s a pity that there are currently only three of these pills, and it’s uncertain whether new ones will be obtainable in the future. It would be great if a Spiritual Artifact that could replicate things could be created.”
At this thought, Ye Feng suddenly turned his gaze towards the Refining Furnace.
After communicating with the Refining Furnace, Ye Feng received feedback.
A Spiritual Artifact capable of replication could be created!
However, there were still a few rather rare materials missing. As for the name and appearance, the Refining Furnace had already provided hints, and Ye Feng quickly took out paper and pen, leveraging his talent as a soulful artist, and sketched it out, albeit clumsily.
“Ding, Registered Disciple Ji Ziling has completed her examination and can be promoted to an Outer Sect Disciple. Reward: 1 Common Small Lucky Bag.”
With a thought from Ye Feng, a festive Lucky Bag appeared in his palm.
This was the Small Lucky Bag.
“Open!”
The Lucky Bag transformed into a flurry of light, and a piece of light, white Jadeite, the size of a thumb, appeared in the palm of Ye Feng, gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight.
“It’s actually Warm Sun Raw Jade!” Ye Feng exclaimed in surprise.
This item was one of the materials needed to create that special Spiritual Artifact capable of replicating anything.
“Great! Now I’m only missing three items to forge that special Spiritual Artifact,” Ye Feng said joyfully as he put away the Warm Sun Raw Jade.
In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
Mo Ying and Ji Ziling ascended to the summit of Misty Peak.
In the astonished gazes of the disciples, Mo Ying knelt before Ye Feng.
“Disciple was too impulsive, leading to a failure in her breakthrough to the Element Gathering Realm, thus losing the opportunity to attempt the breakthrough again in this life. I ask for the Sect Leader’s punishment,” she said, and then looked as though she was about to kowtow.
But, a pair of gentle hands held her up.
“Come with me,” Ye Feng led her into the Sect Leader’s Great Hall.
Mo Ying was puzzled, but followed nonetheless.
The other disciples looked at each other, then gathered around Ji Ziling, bombarding her with questions.
Upon learning of Mo Ying’s failed breakthrough, some disciples were shocked, finding it hard to believe, while others showed concern or sympathy, their expressions complex.
Inside the Great Hall.
Ye Feng sat on the Sect Leader’s throne, smiling at Mo Ying.
“Why does the Sect Leader laugh at me like this?” Mo Ying, feeling a bit nervous under his gaze, turned her face away, then realized that she was wearing a black veil and hat, so Ye Feng couldn’t see her expression; she turned her face back to him.
“I’m not laughing at you,” Ye Feng shook his head.
He held out his hand, across which lay a Meridian Recurrence Pill covered with patterns, emitting a unique fragrance and glow.
“What is this…” Mo Ying asked, puzzled.
“This is a Meridian Recurrence Pill, which can revert your meridians to the state before your Element Gathering Realm breakthrough, giving you another chance at the breakthrough,” Ye Feng explained.
Upon hearing this, Mo Ying’s eyes suddenly lit up.
