Chapter 424
Chapter 424: 424
Xue Wei took his friends and returned to their courtyard . He did not care about the rumors that would spread about him, nor did he care about the fear the other soldiers would have towards him .
All he knew now was that he had killed the chicken to scare away the monkeys . Many had been unhappy with how he got the courtyard, more so than what he had expected .
Now that he had crippled that Fire Horse, and severely injured the others, he was secured some time of peace . No one would be stupid enough to enrage him, for now .
As Xue Wei returned to the courtyard, he gathered all his friends in the sitting room and handed out another Two-Colored Rainbow Pill to each of them .
Seeing this, Lan smiled . Now he knew why Tao Wu had become friends with Xue Wei . Tao Wu was much like he himself; he could not stand the allure of treasures .
But where Lan was much more approachable, Tao Wu was near impossible to approach and befriend .
On the way to the Demon Phoenix Continent, Lan had stopped by the Sea of the Enchanted and had spent some time with Tao Wu . The latter had told him about what waves and achievements Xue Wei had gotten on the sea, and that the two were now considered friends . Even so, he refused to say why they were friends .
Although he had done many things in the Sea of the Enchanted, it was not enough to become Tao Wu's friend, but if he had provided him with multiple Two-Colored Rainbow Pills, then it was something else .
Xue Wei delivered the Two-Colored rainbow pills to all of them, then he looked at Lan and contemplated, before throwing a jade vial to him as well .
"I know they are useless for you," he said, "but you collect treasures, so I am sure they will have some usage for you . "
Lan's smile widened, and he unceremoniously kept the vial away . What Xue Wei said was precisely the truth . Although the pills could do nothing for him, they could still be useful in other ways later .
Having given a pill to everyone, Xue Wei went to his room and took out the same pill that he had looked on before he released his seals .
This time he was not contemplating, but directly placed it in his mouth . Here, it dissolved and turned into energy which rushed into his mind palace and his spiritual energy . Previously his spiritual energy, which had been stuck at the third layer of the Earth Saint rank after the Blessing, began showing signs of improvements .
It was like a tidal wave after a draught, the small golden dragon and the golden vermilion bird spirits within his mind palace began refining and absorbing the energy at a rapid speed .
Fourth Layered Earth Saint .
Fifth Layered Earth Saint .
Sixth Layered Earth Saint .
He grew up three layers in a short time, but after checking his mind and his soul, he found that even his Spiritual Energy had such solid foundations that even if he became a Sky Saint, he would still be able to withstand it without an unsteady foundation .
However, after reaching the sixth layer, the speed of absorption slowed down . Although he was still able to raise his layer, he was met with a bottleneck .
The energy kept slamming against the bottleneck, each collision contained more and more power until it began shaking, and soon Xue Wei managed one more breakthrough!
Seventh Layered Earth Saint!
This was the final breakthrough that he could gain with the Two-Colored Rainbow Pill, but it did reach the peak of the layer . He needed just a bit more to be able to become an eight layered Earth Saint .
It was not only Xue Wei who was having breakthrough after breakthrough, everyone within the courtyard was breaking through with the help of the Rainbow Pills, and the surrounding heaven and earth essence was chaotic .
Many had followed them back to the courtyard . Some had done so because they wanted to see if they could mingle with their group, others had done so to scout for information about them . There were even people who followed them just because they were curious .
But what met them was turbulent heaven and earth essence; it was clear to all of them that there were many people inside who were having breakthroughs .
But how was that possible? How could there be so many breakthroughs at the same time? Did they possess some sort of treasure?
Greed appeared in some of the experts' eyes, but after considering the situation, they all reigned in their greed . Even if they wanted the treasure, it might not end up becoming theirs, considering the strength of the other party .
While some of them were just putting away their greed after thinking this, others were not willing to let go . They knew how difficult it was to have a breakthrough, so they began spreading the news that Xue Wei had a treasure that could assist others in breaking through .
They hoped to pressure the Army Camp's leaders into forcing him to give it up, and then they could all benefit from it .
The rumors spread fast through the entire area, everyone knew of it, but no one dared acting rashly against Xue Wei .
During the last battle, he had not shown any of his trump cards, as to how overwhelming his real battle strength was, none of them could imagine it .
As such, all of them began complaining to their teachers and the experts in charge of the Army Camp, all of them trying to put pressure on them to face off against Xue Wei .
