A rare opportunity

Chapter 746 Tasting

Li Yu looked closely and found that the fire spirit of the sun's true fire was curled up in that corner, occasionally emitting star-like flashes of light.

Looking at the extremely weak Fire Spirit before him, Li Yu couldn't help but feel sad. In order to protect his soul, not only did the mutton-fat jade shrink by half, but his own Sun True Fire was also severely damaged, becoming so weak!

Whether it's mutton-fat jade, the true sun fire, or even my master's soul, they all need the warmth of my sea of ​​consciousness. And now my sea of ​​consciousness is nearly dry. Restoring it will be a struggle. I hope the Three Saints of Yunfu can gather as many herbs as possible for me to cultivate my soul.

Fortunately, although his soul was still weak, it should be no problem to retrieve the alchemy furnace. Although he didn't have the help of the sun's true fire, even if he used ordinary fire, with his alchemy attainments, he should be able to refine a decent pill!

Although he still had some medicinal pills in his ring, most of them were for healing and cultivation. As for spiritual elixirs, they were few and far between! Even if he had a few, they wouldn't even be enough to replenish his withered sea of ​​consciousness!

Collecting herbs wasn't a problem for the Three Saints. While magical herbs were rare in the Yunfu Mountains, common herbs were readily available. Li Yu didn't have high expectations, so collecting them was a piece of cake. The problem was Li Yu's insistence on "the more the better." Without a clear standard, no one knew what the ideal amount was.

Therefore, they searched the entire Yunfu Mountains thoroughly, gathering every possible herb they could find that they believed would aid spiritual cultivation. For hundreds of years, these herbs became a rare commodity in the Yunfu Mountains. Of course, other herbs were also found, but simply because the Three Saints believed them to be beneficial for spiritual cultivation, they were tragically exterminated!

Li Yu was speechless as he looked at the mountain of herbs before him. There were both aged medicinal herbs and newly sprouted herbs. There were herbs that aided spiritual cultivation, while others had nothing to do with it. There were even some poisonous weeds!

Even so, Li Yu was grateful to the Three Saints of Yunfu. After all, they had done him a great favor! He immediately took out three pills and threw them to the three saints, smiling and saying:

"Thank you all for your help in finding so many herbs for me. A pill is not enough as a token of my gratitude! I hope this will be helpful to your cultivation!"

The three saints held the elixir in their hands, feeling puzzled! They couldn't help but look at each other for a few times, and finally the big white rabbit couldn't help but ask:

"Little... um, little friend! This is..."

"Oh! This is the Barrier Breaking Pill! It seems that the three of you have reached a bottleneck in your cultivation. I think you have been stagnant for many years. This pill may help you break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level!"

"W…w…what?"

Upon hearing this, the three saints were all speechless! Their mouths trembled in disbelief!

"Can this really help me...can we break through?"

"Brother Rabbit! To be honest, this gallbladder is meant to help our human race break through to the Nascent Soul stage. As for whether it will be effective for the three of you, I can't guarantee it! But I think that even if this gallbladder can't help you break through, it will be of great benefit to your future cultivation!"

In fact, in Li Yu's opinion, this Barrier Breaking Pill had a great chance of helping the Three Saints achieve a breakthrough. However, there were always unexpected things, so one couldn't be too sure.

Even so, these words sounded like heavenly music to the Three Saints! After all, their cultivation had been stuck at their current level for at least a few hundred years. As a cultivator, who wouldn't want to improve their cultivation? As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they wouldn't miss it!

However, despite their enthusiasm, they didn't dare to try! After all, in their minds, humans were synonymous with cunning and treacherous. They lacked sufficient trust in Li Yu.

Li Yu took in their eager yet bewildered expressions. He knew what they were worried about, but he couldn't explain it. Even if he spoke with all his heart, they wouldn't necessarily believe him.

The reason he took out the Barrier Breaking Pill was simply to express his gratitude for their help. Whether they ate it or not was their business! He smiled at them, then turned and entered the cave, took out the alchemy furnace, and began to refine the pill.

Seeing Li Yu return to the cave, the Three Saints of Yunfu looked at each other in bewilderment. What should they do? Eat or not? If they did, they were afraid it was poison. If they didn't, they were afraid they would miss the chance to break through. For a moment, they were in a state of uncertainty.

The three saints stood at the entrance of the cave, staring at each other for a long time, unable to decide whether to eat or not. Finally, the big white rabbit rolled its eyes and whispered:

"Got it! Since we don't dare to try, why not ask that old ape to give it a try? The old ape has been stuck at the first level of Demon Saint for nearly two hundred years!"

"Hmm! Very good! Very good! Let's go find it now!"

Blood Wolf was also overjoyed and quickly echoed.

"There's nothing wrong with asking the old ape to test the pill! It's just... whose pill should I use? You know, we only have three here! It's okay if the pill is ineffective or poisonous. But if it really works..."

Before the vulture could finish, the blood wolf glared and roared:

"What? You little vulture, you still want to fight with me?"

"Xiaoying! I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why are you so fussy? Why don't we just try yours? If it really works, we can ask you for another one! Otherwise, why don't you come yourself?"

Big White Rabbit also said impatiently.

Vulture cursed inwardly: "I fucking know you two have bad intentions! You call it a test, but aren't you just using your own chance to test it? And then you ask someone else for it after the test? That's a pill! You don't fucking think it's cabbage, do you?"

Although he was furious, he had no other choice! After all, relying on force, he was no match for them! Experimenting on his own? He had cultivated to this point with great difficulty, and he didn't want to die! Now, he could only offer his own elixir with both hands!

Eager to see the results of the experiment, Blood Wolf immediately snatched the pill from Vulture's hand and headed straight for the ape demon's cave! The White Rabbit followed closely behind. Though unhappy, the Vulture also wanted to know the results. After a brief hesitation, he followed suit. However, his desired outcome was different from that of Blood Wolf and the White Rabbit! He hoped it was poison, not a true barrier-breaking pill!

The Blood Wolf was brutal and ruthless. He reached the ape demon's cave, grabbed its arm, and forced the pill into its mouth! To prevent the demon from spitting out the pill, he even sealed its acupuncture points. He only unsealed them when he felt the demon could no longer spit out the pill.

Seeing the Blood Wolf indiscriminately feeding it a pill, the ape demon assumed it was poison and intended to harm it. It was immediately enraged. Even though it was weaker, it still wanted to fight the Blood Wolf to the death. However, the Blood Wolf had sealed its acupuncture points, leaving it with nothing but anger.

Therefore, when the blood wolf untied its acupuncture points, it roared and punched the blood wolf!

Blood Wolf's purpose wasn't to fight, but to test the effectiveness of the elixir. Therefore, while unlocking the ape demon's acupuncture points, he leaped back, creating enough distance between them. The ape demon's powerful punch hit the air, sending the ape demon screaming in anger and chasing after him, fist raised!

However, he stopped after just two steps! His face looked strange, as if he was lost in thought! Finally, he showed a happy expression and sat down cross-legged!

Not long after, the ape demon leaped up, pounding his chest with both hands and roaring angrily! Judging from his momentum, he had greatly increased!

Watching the ape demon so effortlessly break through the barrier that had held it back for nearly two hundred years, reaching the second level of Demon Saint, the Blood Wolf and the Big White Rabbit were ecstatic! Clearly, this was indeed a Barrier Breaking Pill! It could indeed help them break through the barrier! The vulture, on the other hand, was utterly dejected! Its eyes blazed as it stared at the ape demon! It even had the urge to kill it!

You have to know that the vulture's cultivation level is only the second level of Demon Saint! It's not much different from that of the ape demon. It's just because I reached the Saint level longer that I was given the title of the Third Saint. Now that the ape demon has caught up with me, doesn't that mean my status is in jeopardy?
