Seeing Yang Hui’s face flushed red as she straightened her clothes, Ye Chu smiled. He did not continue to tease her. After asking about her physical condition and confirming she was fine, Ye Chu looked around.
In front of Ye Chu was a vast space. The entire world was blood red. Ye Chu felt as if he was sitting in a world made of blood. A strong bloody smell rushed towards him.
This bloody smell was extremely intense, as if thousands of corpses were buried there.
The sky was blood red, the ground was blood red, everything was blood red. Even the occasional wind that blew past was blood red.
“What a strange place!” Yang Hui stared blankly at it. “It feels like a place built from blood. The bloody smell is enough to make me lose myself.”
Ye Chu nodded. This place was indeed extremely bizarre. For ordinary cultivators, just this bloody smell alone could make them lose their minds.
Ye Chu checked his qi sea. It was much wider than before. The spiritual energy of his previous eighth layer primordial spirit realm was now thinly scattered in the qi sea. It was not that the amount of spiritual energy had decreased, but because the qi sea had become so vast that the density of spiritual energy dropped significantly.
Ye Chu looked around, not knowing where the vortex had brought them. He did not rush to explore what this place was. Instead he took out some green origin pills.
At this moment the spiritual energy density in his qi sea was thin. It was perfect to use the green origin pills to increase it. His realm had dropped to the fifth layer of primordial spirit realm, but Ye Chu did not mind. As long as there was enough spiritual energy to replenish, he could quickly cultivate back.
Ye Chu swallowed a green origin pill. The spiritual energy in one green origin pill was dense and could flow into his body like water. One green origin pill was worth a thousand spirit origin pills, which showed how much spiritual energy it contained.
But this terrifying spiritual energy merged into Ye Chu’s qi sea without causing even a ripple. Without thinking, Ye Chu continued to swallow several more.
Yang Hui watched from the side and could not help clicking her tongue in astonishment. Other people absorbed green origin pills one by one, and after taking one they would wait a long time before daring to try another.
Because the spiritual energy in green origin pills was too dense, a cultivator’s qi sea simply could not withstand it.
Yet Ye Chu was swallowing them several at a time. Had his qi sea become this strong? It could bear such dense spiritual energy without issue?
This was equivalent to thousands upon thousands of spirit origin pills. The spiritual energy turned solid and could be described as a rushing river.
But Ye Chu seemed unaware and crazily absorbed one after another. The spiritual energy in his qi sea kept increasing.
This improvement was obvious. Ye Chu felt the surging power in his qi sea.
Ye Chu continued to swallow pills, taking several each time.
Back then Ye Chu had traded for over two hundred green origin pills using pill grains. Now he took them all out.
Yang Hui watched from the side, staring blankly at Ye Chu who looked as if he wanted to swallow all of them.
Over two hundred green origin pills were equivalent to over two hundred thousand spirit origin pills. One could imagine the spiritual energy contained within. It was easy to know how terrifying the power was.
For an ordinary cultivator, it would be enough to reach above the profound life realm. Yet Ye Chu already had the strength of the eighth layer primordial spirit realm. With so many green origin pills, could his qi sea withstand it?
Yang Hui stared at Ye Chu in a daze, finding it hard to believe what she was seeing.
Ye Chu kept swallowing pills madly. In a short time, dozens had gone down. The true essence in his qi sea gradually became dense.
The spiritual energy from the green origin pills was thick. It rushed into Ye Chu’s qi sea like a river and was then assimilated by the true essence inside, slowly turning into true essence.
Swallowing the pills made one’s heart pound. Over two hundred green origin pills, equivalent to over two hundred thousand spirit origin pills, were swallowed by Ye Chu just like that.
In the past Ye Chu had envied Weak Water for swallowing a hundred thousand spirit origin pills and thought it was domineering. He never expected that one day he would swallow the equivalent of two hundred thousand true origin pills.
With the equivalent of two hundred thousand spirit origin pills entering his body, Ye Chu’s qi sea finally became filled with true essence. He recovered to the peak of the eighth layer primordial spirit realm again.
Ye Chu looked at the now empty jade box and could not help sighing. “The green origin pills are still too few. Otherwise I could have stepped into the peak of the ninth layer primordial spirit realm.”
Hearing Ye Chu’s words, that beautiful face twitched slightly. Two hundred green origin pills was already a big move. If given to others, it would be enough to drive them crazy. Yet Ye Chu was not satisfied, and after absorbing so many he had not broken through to the profound life realm, not even reaching the ninth layer primordial spirit realm.
Before this Ye Chu was at the eighth layer primordial spirit realm, and now he still was. From this one could imagine just how huge Ye Chu’s qi sea was.
Yang Hui felt that Ye Chu’s power at this moment should be overwhelmingly strong, perhaps not inferior to a true profound life realm expert. As for primordial spirit realm cultivators, they were nothing but weak chickens in his hands.
“It seems I still need to work hard to get more green origin pills. With another two hundred, I can definitely reach the peak of the ninth layer primordial spirit realm.” Ye Chu said.
“…” Yang Hui stayed silent, thinking that with two hundred she could also fill her qi sea after the opening in Dragon Blood Lake. And she was at the profound life realm.
“Yang Hui, do you also need green origin pills? How many does the Twin Sword King have? Are there ten thousand?” Ye Chu asked. He was even prepared to use secret techniques to seize them. If there were ten thousand, it would be worth using secret methods.
The effects of green origin pills needed no explanation. If there were enough, they would be greatly useful for himself and for Yang Hui and the others.
“Young master! We should first figure out where this place is. The bloody smell here makes me feel uneasy.” Yang Hui said to Ye Chu.
Ye Chu nodded and looked at the blood red world, thinking the same. They could not even leave this place yet, so there was no point talking about green origin pills.
“Let’s go!” Ye Chu stood up, took Yang Hui’s soft hand, and walked quickly into the distance.
Yang Hui was held tightly by Ye Chu. She struggled a few times but could not break free, so she stopped struggling. A blush rose on her face as she obediently and quietly let Ye Chu pull her along.
This was Yang Hui, obedient and compliant. If it were Yang Ning, she would probably struggle even if Ye Chu used force.
“What kind of damned place is this?” After walking for a while Ye Chu still saw nothing. The entire space was empty and blood red. This made Ye Chu frown.
“This should be a special place. Here I cannot feel my sister’s aura.” Yang Hui suddenly said to Ye Chu. “My sister and I are connected in mind. Even if far apart, I can feel some of her fluctuations. But here, I feel nothing at all.”
Hearing this, Ye Chu felt even more surprised. This place could actually block the telepathic connection between Yang Hui and Yang Ning. It seemed it was definitely not as empty as it appeared.
“Young master, look quickly. What is that?”
Yang Hui suddenly pointed in one direction. Her voice trembled as she swallowed and looked at Ye Chu.
