Chapter 292: Blood Fruit Pill
Chapter 292: Blood Fruit Pill
John had high hopes for the pill before him. When he had given the fruit to Thunderpill, even the Pill Emperor himself didn’t recognize the fruit. This clearly indicated that the fruit was incredibly rare, and most likely incredibly valuable.
John thought of selling the fruit for a high sum of money, but decided against such a thing.
‘I have more money than I can spend at the moment, and everything is secondary when compared to my cultivation.’
He put such thoughts aside and once again focused on the blood red pill in his hands.
When he had consumed the fruit directly, it had greatly improved the constitution of his body, boosting it to a higher level of durability and power.
While John had an incredible body due to cultivating the Immortal Asura Body, and strengthened it further with the mysterious blood drops, he didn’t have many other opportunities to improve his body’s strength.
His foundation was much more profound than others, but without continuously building upon it, he would fall further and further behind.
Body cultivation based sects would shower their disciples with many types of wonderful materials and pills to strengthen their bodies, pushing it to new heights. However, John had only consumed the Undying Vitality Pill and the mysterious blood fruit to boost his body’s power, and needed more of such opportunities to make sure he didn’t fall behind his peers.
The pill before him was one such opportunity.
“I’ll have to continue to find such opportunities in the future to make sure I stay ahead of the pack, but for now, this is more than enough.”
After a brief pause, John directly consumed the pill.
The pill hit his stomach, and quickly began to dissolve. An intense energy, almost identical to when he ate the fruit, began to assault his body from within. However, it was even stronger than when he had directly consumed the fruit, due to the refining process of the pill.
John grit his teeth as he struggled against the rampaging energy in pain. Everywhere the energy rampaged, it destroyed cells, tore muscles, and pushed his meridians to their limits.
Supreme Battle Art!
John activated his Supreme Battle Art, pushing his body’s power and durability to the next level. At the same time, his incredibly strong essence dantian surged in power, as he sent his own essence Qi to contain the rampaging energy.
A stalemate was quickly achieved as John managed to stop the destruction within his body. His essence Qi enveloped the rampaging energy, and began to guide it throughout his body in manageable quantities.
He slowly but surely infused the energy into his bones, tendons, muscles, and meridians. Every infusion process was incredibly painful, as the energy would do its best to destroy his body from within, as if it had a mind of its own.
However, with his incredible body durability and powerful essence Qi, He was able to triumph over the rampaging energy.
After nearly an hour, John finally let out a deep breath as the process finally came to an end. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and was aching with incredible pain. Even his essence Qi was drained quite a bit, indicating how strenuous the process was, and how potent the ramping energy had been. However, John ignored the pain as he began to inspect his new body strength.
However, he couldn’t fully inspect the strength of his body without testing it out.
“Today was quite a day,” John mumbled to himself as he began to walk upstairs. His body ached in pain from all he had experienced over the past day, but overall he was in a happy mood.
John walked outside and flew to a nearby empty mountain. The training area in his basement was no longer suitable for his power level, which forced John to train elsewhere.
After landing on the empty mountain, he took a deep breath before punching the earth beneath his feet.
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded out, as dirt, rock, and vegetation were flung high into the sky from the force of his attack. The dust eventually faded, revealing a large crater, several dozen yards wide and deep before him.
A smile appeared on his face as he saw this.
“This punch was just my base strength, without any power augmentation from the Supreme Battle Art or Immortal Asura Transformation Art!”
Boom!
John threw another punch, relishing in the feeling of his new power.
“Amazing. The effect it had on my body is no less profound than when I ate the fruit directly. It’s actually even slightly better. My body’s durability, as well as power, has increased greatly. This powerup, combined with my lightning Qi upgrade, is almost as if I advanced half a minor realm of cultivation on its own!”
He was incredibly happy with the results of consuming the pills. The combined effect of the pills had increased his overall combat prowess by at least fifty percent, which was nearly unheard of by only consuming pills.
However, this just showed how amazing the ingredients he had given Pill Emperor Thunderpill were. Only by having incredible base ingredients could consuming a pill achieve what it did today.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
John continued to inspect his newfound power for quite some time before he finally decided to leave and return back to his mountain abode. He was exhausted from the day, which had been incredibly busy, as well as painful.
He had trained with the Vice-Sect Leader, discussed highly important things with the Sect Leader, and also caught up with old friends. While tomorrow would start his crazy training with the Vice-Sect Leader once again, John decided to push such negative thoughts out of his mind.
After soaking in his outside pool for some time, he retired to his room and fell into bed heavily.
“It’s been quite some time since I’ve slept on this bed,” John mumbled to himself as he quickly fell into a deep sleep. Something he had not experienced for quite some time.
