C30 (1/2)

On the stone platform, Cang Yun slowly opened his eyes. After he felt the condensed power coming from within his body, he could not help but reveal a satisfied expression. With the nourishment of the Essence Nurturing Pill, his cultivation of the first stage of the Secret Treasure Trove had stabilized as expected.

The next moment, looking at that beautiful silhouette that was meticulously protecting him, a warm feeling surged through Cang Yun's heart. He smiled gently, ”You've worked hard. After being delayed for so long, let's depart as well.”

Zhou Xian'er smiled sweetly, indicating that she did not mind. After which, she nodded her head. Just as Cang Yun started to cultivate, Zhou Hua and the rest had ascended the second stage of the stone staircase.

As he stepped onto the 34th level, an enormous pressure hit him.

When his body stabilized, his face revealed a serious expression. The pressure on this floor was beyond his expectations. He estimated that it had more than doubled compared to before.

However, because they had solidified their cultivation, they were able to withstand the pressure. After looking at Zhou Xian`er and nodding their heads, the two of them simultaneously headed higher into the mountains.

In the blink of an eye, four hours passed.

On the 64th floor's stone stairs, Cang Yun stopped, his delicate and pretty face had a hint of fatigue, to this extent, he also felt a great pressure. Even though his source energy was different from ordinary people's, his cultivation was still a little low, and consuming too much source energy would inevitably cause his body to feel weak.

At this time, the four most outstanding geniuses of the Zhou Family, including Zhou Xian`er, had also finished walking up the second section of the stone stairs. Compared to these four people, his current strength was indeed quite lacking.

However, there were only two stone steps left. The second stage of the trial could be completed.

Thus, after a low growl, the Origin Energy within Cang Yun's body crazily surged towards his feet. A strong feeling of power spontaneously arose. Then, with a step forward, his body borrowed the strength of this power to directly leap past the last two stone steps.

Phew...

However, because his mind had relaxed, the lack of strength he felt became even clearer. Looking at Zhou Xian'er and the rest, they were all currently meditating with their eyes closed. Evidently, even with their strength, they had expended a lot of mental energy to pass this stage.

In the next moment, Cang Yun grasped the ball of light that had appeared in his hand. His tired face revealed a smile of joy. From the start, the rewards from each level had never disappointed him.

”Origin Replenishing Pill.”

This kind of pill could quickly replenish a martial artist's Origin Energy. It was extremely useful in battle and was also extremely valuable.

After putting away the medicinal pills, Cang Yun sat down cross-legged and began to recover his Origin Energy. Although he had Origin Replenishing Pills to recover quickly, it was obviously an extremely wasteful performance right now. No one would be stupid enough to do such a foolish thing.
