NOVEL NEXT Chapter 17.2: You Never Know When It Might Come in Handy
They could even set up a formation without anyone questioning them.
Entering the bedroom, Li Xun casually arranged his belongings before sitting cross-legged on the bed.
He flipped his hand, and a jade box appeared in his palm.
This was the box that Shen Yuluan had entrusted to Lu Changhe to give to him.
He hadn’t opened it earlier, but now seemed like a good time to see what Shen Yuluan had sent him.
With a click, the jade box opened, releasing an intense medicinal fragrance.
Just by taking a whiff, Li Xun felt the bottleneck at the peak of his Qi Condensation realm slightly loosen.
“A Spirit Opening Pill!” Li Xun’s eyes lit up as he looked at the pill inside the jade box.
The Spirit Opening Pill had a similar effect to the Spirit Yuan Pill, but with one key difference: the Spirit Yuan Pill increased the success rate of breaking through the Qi Condensation realm, while the Spirit Opening Pill increased the success rate of breaking through to the Spirit Meridian realm.
It’s worth noting that the Spirit Opening Pill was about six or seven times more valuable than the Spirit Yuan Pill.
Each one was beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.
“A bottle of Purging Evil Pills exchanged for ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, plus a Spirit Opening Pill. This deal… was really worth it!” Li Xun exclaimed happily.
The Spirit Opening Pill was exactly what he needed at the moment.
Shen Yuluan must have noticed his cultivation level and specifically sent him this pill.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t break through tonight.
Li Xun glanced at the night sky.
The Scripture Pavilion was likely closed by now, and without the next level of cultivation techniques, he would have to wait until tomorrow to make the breakthrough.
“After a few investments, I’ve started to understand the system’s investment pattern,” Li Xun thought as he closed the jade box.
Based on his observations, the people he invested in were all facing some kind of difficulty, and the items they needed happened to be what he had on hand.
That’s why he could make the investment.
It also explained why he couldn’t invest in anyone else when he visited Zichen Peak earlier.
Each person had different needs, and if he didn’t have the required items, how could he invest?
Of course, it’s also possible that some people simply hadn’t encountered any significant difficulties.
“It seems I should take a trip down the mountain sometime and prepare a variety of items. You never know when they might come in handy,” Li Xun decided.
With that thought, he didn’t dwell on it further.
After a bath, he lay down on the bed and soon drifted into sleep.
Meanwhile, in Profound Sun Sect’s outer sect disciple area, within a straw hut, Ye Han finally healed about seventy to eighty percent of his injuries after a day and a night of cultivation.
“Hmm!” His eyes snapped open, emitting a sharp, cold light like a lightning bolt, piercing through the darkness.
In Ye Han’s mind, an elderly voice spoke at the right moment, “You’ve also had a blessing in disguise this time. Though you were severely injured, the Blood Qi Pill helped you advance to the fourth level of the Body Refinement realm.”
“If you keep up this pace, you might be able to attempt breaking through to the Qi Condensation realm in about a year.”
