Chapter 9 - Pill Pavilion

It was now in the middle of winter. Even though there was no icy cold weather here in South Vietnam, the entire world seemed extremely desolate, as if all the vitality here was being restrained and it was waiting for spring to break out.

In the dead of night, Lei Yang meditated in his bedroom. It was quiet outside the window, but his heart was unable to calm down for a long time.

At this moment, in his bedroom, his brows were knitted tightly, and a look of worry appeared on his face. In two months time, it would be the Family Compet.i.tion's time, and it was at this time that something went wrong with his cultivation.

It could be said that Lei Yang's cultivation had never slacked in the past two months, his cultivation was even more desperate than before, but the result he obtained was the spiritual energy in his sea of Qi, and not only did it not increase, it had even decreased.

The lower he fell, the more powerful he became. His cultivation base, which was originally at the peak of the fourth level, was now only at the third level.

”Why is the spiritual energy gradually decreasing and disappearing?” Lei Yang muttered to himself. While he was feeling anxious, he could not come up with an explanation for this matter.

He had carefully inspected his body. His Qi Sea was complete, and his body was intact. He had examined every part of his body that he thought might be problematic. However, no matter what, he couldn't find any clues.

Only the ball of golden gas in his aura sea continued to devour the spiritual energy within his aura sea, and then continued to purify it.

Lei Yang had sensed that although the Spiritual Qi of his Qi Sea had lessened and his cultivation level had decreased, his true combat power had still increased.

He could feel that the purified spiritual energy had an attack power that was many times stronger than the spiritual energy that was absorbed directly into his spiritual sea. Although his cultivation base seemed to be at the third level of the Spirit Qi realm, he was actually at the peak of the fifth level.

Of course, what made Lei Yang worried wasn't his battle power, but the fact that he had to reach the fourth level of Spirit Qi in order to pa.s.s the family test. The fourth level of spiritual energy was like a threshold. If he couldn't even pa.s.s this threshold, then even if he had monstrous battle prowess, in the end, everything would just be for naught.

”Golden vortex, spiritual energy …. ”Reduced?” In the bedroom, Lei Yang muttered to himself while pondering. Suddenly, his pupils constricted as though he had thought of something.

”Oh, yes! ”Father once said that the quality of spiritual energy is very high in the Astral Sea. Could it be that the purifying of spiritual energy by the golden vortex caused the spiritual energy in the Astral Sea to become less and less, resulting in the drop of one's cultivation realm?”

Lei Yang quickly walked in the room, and when he thought about the exhaust gas that was being continuously expelled, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, ”It must be so, it must be so!” Lei Yang felt like he had found a new continent, and spoke with certainty.

However, his gaze immediately dimmed down again. Although the problem had been found, how was he going to solve it? This was yet another th.o.r.n.y problem.

”Dad also said that the Stellar Sea is a bottomless pit and it must be filled with endless amounts of spirit energy. However, relying on the Bridge of Heaven and Earth to draw in this spirit energy is far from enough. What should I do?” Could it be that we really have to go to the Pill Pavilion? Father said that unless it was absolutely necessary, it would be best not to rely on medicinal pellets, or else there would be repercussions. ”

Lei Yang's eyes flickered, showing some hesitation, but if he could not solve the problem of dropping realms, it would make him extremely pa.s.sive.

There were many geniuses in the family, and he knew that there were quite a few who were at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Hai realm among their direct line of disciples, not to mention those from the Eight Dragons Tribe.

As members of the Lei Family, who wouldn't want to appear in Family Compet.i.tion?

With his current fighting strength, although he could not earn a place for himself among these people, he was still able to attract the attention of the clan. However, if he did not fight now, he would be blocked outside the clan's gate.

Although Lei Yang did not have the heart to win, when he thought about how his parents had suffered from the cold stares from their people all these years, he could not stay still any longer. After a while, he clenched his fists and muttered to himself: ”Perhaps I can do this, and first prepare the pellet here, and when the time comes when I really need it, I can consume it.

Looking at the date, tomorrow was Pill Pavilion's monthly Pill Release Day. Alright, tomorrow I will go to Pill Pavilion. After making up his mind, Lei Yang immediately sat cross legged and started to use the bridge of heaven and earth to absorb spirit energy, so that he could be in his best condition.

In these two months, as he became more and more proficient with the Thunder Fist, he gradually discovered that the Thunder Fist was simply too berserk with the addition of his spiritual energy.

When he was at the back of the mountain cultivating, he used the power of his body and Qi to unleash Thunder Fist, causing the s.p.a.ce to explode. The might was like a mountain collapsing and the ground cracking, just the first punch had already destroyed a whole patch of forest.

At that time, a large piece of ancient wood fell, and leaves and limbs flew everywhere. Smoke and dust soared into the sky, and ten thousand jin boulders were turned into fine powder. The scene was terrifying and terrifying.

As his fist struck out, an indescribably powerful aura spread out in an instant. Although it was only for an instant, it still caused the surrounding beasts and birds to tremble in fear and remain dormant.

This kind of power, this kind of terrifying aura, even if one was at the sixth level of Qi Level, it wouldn't be unexpected for them to be crippled by a single punch.

However, this was a Core Formation technique, and its flaws were extremely obvious. With Lei Yang's current cultivation, it was extremely difficult to sustain, and although it was just a single punch, the amount of energy consumed was astonis.h.i.+ng.

After that punch, his entire body would be instantly drained, and he would immediately sink into an incomparably weak state. He would be facing the Thunder Fist's fatal weakness.

Therefore, if one's attack failed in a fight, then one could only wait for death. Therefore, it was impossible to use it as one wished. However, it was not impossible to use the trump card to win in a fight.

Because of the Thunder Fist's fatal flaw and his father's repeated warning, Lei Yang had no choice but to go to the clan's Scripture Pavilion and choose two sets of shallow and suitable cultivation techniques at the fourth level of spirit energy.
