I loaded the innate divine power.

Upon arriving at the Sacred Flame Peak, Shen Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Demonic Sect is too dangerous.

Our current strength is far from enough.

We still need to improve.

Looking towards the main hall atop the mountain, Shen Yi took a deep breath and strode forward.

Just as Shen Yi reached the halfway point of the mountain, before he even stepped into the Mountain and Water Villa, a voice called out to him.

"Senior Brother Shen."

Shen Yi stopped and looked back. Lei Bo walked towards him with a smile.

In just a few steps, I arrived in front of him.

"Senior Brother Shen, the Holy Envoy has ordered you to go to the Holy Flame Hall as soon as you return."

"To the Temple of Sacred Flame?"

Shen Yi frowned, but still nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Lei Bo didn't say much, just said goodbye and left.

Looking towards the Sacred Fire Hall atop the mountain, Shen Yi pondered for a moment before stepping into the Mountain and Water Villa.

He placed the two superior martial arts techniques in the room and then went to the Sacred Flame Hall.

……

Before long, Shen Yi arrived at the Sacred Flame Hall, but there was not a single person in the empty hall.

Shen Yi looked around, and just as he was about to speak, a graceful figure walked out from the depths of the hall.

Dressed in plain white, with her dark hair draped over her shoulders!

"Master."

Upon seeing Bai Suzhen appear, Shen Yi stepped forward and bowed.

Bai Suzhen strolled over leisurely, and a faint fragrance of orchids wafted into his nose.

"What martial arts techniques did you choose from the library?"

Bai Suzhen spoke softly.

Shen Yi stood with his hands at his sides: "Reporting to Master, this disciple has selected two superior martial arts, one a movement technique and the other an offensive martial art."

"Superior martial arts..."

Bai Suzhen looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

Although Shen Yi might have a different bloodline, his inherent talent and aptitude were nothing special in her eyes.

However, she wouldn't stop Shen Yi from practicing other martial arts.

Although one's natural talent is mediocre, as long as one has potential in special arts, nothing else matters.

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. When it comes to martial arts training, it's best to do what you can. If you spread your energy too thin, you'll never achieve great things."

Bai Suzhen spoke softly.

"This disciple understands," Shen Yi said, bowing.

Distracted...

That's true for others, but for him, it's completely different.

Although normal martial arts skills require talent and innate ability to improve, none of that mattered to him.

With the [Ascension to Godhood] talent, time is more than enough!

A few days of practice is equivalent to several years of effort!

Moreover, he also possesses the ability of "Heaven rewards diligence," meaning that as long as he practices, he will definitely reap the rewards.

It just takes a little more time.

If it doesn't work in a few days, try ten; if it doesn't work in ten days, try several months.

Even the strongest martial arts skills cannot withstand the erosion of time.

Even with his Yi Jin Jing cultivation level, Shen Yi was still in a period of dormancy.

He needs to make greater progress.

Accumulate strength, then accumulate more contribution points. When you can combine this with elixirs to aid your cultivation, your progress will be even more astonishing.

"I am very pleased that you have passed the challenge of the Sacred Fire Cave. Take these two bottles of pills and consume them; they will allow you to advance your cultivation of supernatural arts even faster."

As she spoke, Bai Suzhen produced two small porcelain bottles of different colors as if by magic.

One red, one blue!

The two small porcelain bottles were handed to Shen Yi.

Looking at the small porcelain bottle in my hand, I saw that it was covered with labels.

One is the "Fire Essence Pill," and the other is the "Frost Condensation Pill."

Holding it in his hand, even through the porcelain bottle, Shen Yi could feel the temperature difference between hot and cold.

"Thank you, Master. I will certainly work hard and live up to your expectations."

Shen Yi quickly put away the two bottles of pills and bowed respectfully.

Bai Suzhen looked at him calmly: "Remember, you must not rush to take the pills. You need to wait several days between taking one before you can absorb the next one. Otherwise, you will not be able to withstand the medicinal power and will easily suffer the backlash from the pills."

Hearing Bai Suzhen's reminder, Shen Yi nodded: "This disciple understands."

"Go down." Bai Suzhen waved her hand.

Shen Yi nodded, but just as he was about to leave, he stopped.

"Is there anything else?" Bai Suzhen looked at him, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Master, I encountered someone on my way back," Shen Yi said.

"What's the big deal? There are so many people in the Zoroastrian sect, it's no big deal if we run into each other," Bai Suzhen said calmly.

Shen Yi looked at her and spoke again: "Master, this person seems to be very powerful. She is a woman wearing a black-patterned silk dress. She asked me some questions. Master, this person seems to know you very well."

"Yu Susu!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen's face instantly darkened, and she blurted out a name.

Yu Susu?!

Upon hearing the name Bai Suzhen uttered, Shen Yi was slightly taken aback, but soon he remembered something.

Jade Saint Envoy!?

He remembered the other holy messenger that Rebo had mentioned before.

They have the same name.

A holy envoy who is as famous as Bai Suzhen.

Her strength is on par with Bai Suzhen's.

"No wonder it felt so amazing..."

At that moment, Shen Yi suddenly realized something.

However, judging from Bai Suzhen's dark face, the relationship didn't seem to be as harmonious as he had imagined.

"What did she say to you?" Bai Suzhen looked at Shen Yi coldly.

"They didn't ask anything, just gave a simple greeting and checked the disciple's cultivation level."

Shen Yi told him the truth.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Suzhen suddenly reached out and placed her icy-skinned fingers on his shoulder. A powerful force surged into his body, circulated through him, and then she withdrew her hand, her expression softening slightly.

"Master, is this person another Jade Envoy?" Shen Yi asked Bai Suzhen.

Bai Suzhen nodded slightly: "Yes, it's her. If you run into her next time, it's best to stay away, otherwise, who knows when she might eat you up."

Shen Yi: "..."

keep away.

I'd like to stay away, but since we've run into each other, is he really that capable?

Shen Yi nodded silently. Bai Suzhen glanced at him and then said, "Alright, go and cultivate diligently. Improve your strength as soon as possible."

"This disciple takes his leave!"

Shen Yi cupped his hands in a respectful bow, then turned and left the main hall.

Watching Shen Yi's departing figure, Bai Suzhen's face darkened, and she turned her gaze to the sky outside the palace.

After thinking for a while, she turned and left.

……

"Fire Essence Pill, Frost Condensation Pill, this master isn't so stingy after all."

At the secluded mountain and water villa, Shen Yi looked at the two bottles of pills in his hand.

He's not a complete novice anymore; Lei Bo had given him a manual on elixirs before.

These two elixirs are not ordinary elixirs; they are made from a variety of precious medicinal materials.

One pill requires one hundred contribution points.

These two bottles of pills are equivalent to two thousand contribution points.

"I wonder how much the effects of taking the pills will improve..."

Looking at the Fire Essence Pill and Frost Condensation Pill in his hand, Shen Yi glanced at them and then opened the bottle containing the Fire Essence Pill.

A round, red pill was poured out.

The crimson pill was crystal clear and round; upon closer inspection, it appeared as if a tiny flame was burning within it.

A warm aura circulated, like a freshly made elixir.

I leaned closer and took a sniff; a faint, sweet fragrance filled my nostrils.

"The Fire Essence Pill is used to enhance the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique. Let's see how much this pill improves it."

Shen Yi took a deep breath, and the next moment, he tilted his head back and swallowed the Fire Essence Pill.

The warm pill instantly spread throughout his body, and a burning sensation swept over his limbs and bones. His originally calm internal energy seemed to boil over at once.

Without delay, Shen Yi immediately closed his eyes, visualized the Great Sun Golden Crow Diagram, and quickly absorbed the medicinal power of the Fire Essence Pill within his body.

He activated the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, and a faint golden light enveloped his body.

A scorching heat emanated from his body, and in an instant, the temperature in the entire room rose sharply.

Golden light covered his body.

Visualize the Great Sun and Golden Crow image, and absorb it in conjunction with the mental cultivation method.

Soon, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed.

Shen Yi slowly opened his eyes.

The golden light around him subsided, and everything returned to calm.

The Fire Essence Pill, which would normally take an ordinary martial artist several days to absorb, was absorbed by Shen Yi in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The internal energy of pure Yang within his body increased by a few points.

A ray of light gathered, and the panel appeared before his eyes.

Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique (Level 6): [3518/4800]

Mysterious Yin Condensation Meridian Technique (Level 5): [2257/3200]
