Chapter 121: The Gatling in the Mouth
---
Foundation Establishment, Cultivation, Excitement, Fasting, and then comes the Golden Core...
As Ye Huan mentally sorted through the levels of a Cultivator, he couldn't shake the feeling that Yu Wuxia might be overestimating him. Crossing five levels in just one year? If it were that easy, wouldn't the Eastern State be filled with Cultivators? With a hint of doubt in his eyes, Ye Huan glanced at Yu Wuxia beside him.
"Don't worry," Yu Wuxia quickly replied upon noticing Ye Huan's questioning gaze. "I have Foundation Pills for the Foundation Establishment Stage and Cultivation Pills for the Cultivation Stage. As long as you can bridge the gaps between Cultivator levels, I can help you reach the peak of your current level swiftly!" However, seeing Ye Huan look at him as if he were a nouveau riche, Yu Wuxia added, "Of course, there are side effects. Once you reach the Golden Core Stage, I won't be able to provide you with pills anymore, and your strength may stagnate..."
"What? If that's the case, I don't want this thing."
Upon hearing about the side effects, Ye Huan hurriedly placed the brocade box on the ground and asked Yu Wuxia about his level. "By the way, what level are you at, Yu Wuxia?"
When it came to levels, Yu Wuxia's expression turned proud as he coldly replied, "Me? I'm just at the Divine Transformation Stage."
Divine Transformation Stage...
From what he had learned from Mu Ziling, Ye Huan knew that those at the Golden Core Stage could already fly with their swords and take heads from miles away. That meant Yu Wuxia's strength was terrifying—two or three levels above Golden Core Stage.
Thinking back to how Yu Wuxia had vanished right before his eyes earlier, Ye Huan became even more convinced of his thoughts. Coupled with what Yu Wuxia had previously said about tasks for him to undertake in a year, he couldn't help but make up his mind. No matter how grandly Yu Wuxia spoke of it, he absolutely could not accept that Foundation Pill!
Noticing Ye Huan's decision, Yu Wuxia decided to cut the small talk and directly began her **naked temptation**: “Ye Huan, aren’t you going to think it over? The Foundation Pill is something that many in the cultivation world dream of. Even within Yuxu Palace, there are only a handful of them. Aren’t you excited? If I remember correctly, Lingxiao is a Cultivator in the Fasting Period. If you become a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, wouldn’t you have no fear of him?!”
To be honest, Ye Huan didn’t care much about how rare the Foundation Pill was. The possibility of defeating Lingxiao meant that Ye Huan could return to the Nine Provinces Continent, which was a devastating blow for him.
After hesitating for a while, he reached out his hand several times but couldn’t bring himself to do it. Images of his struggles to improve his strength between life and death on the Nine Provinces Continent kept flashing in his mind. Ultimately, he withdrew his hand, constantly reminding himself that relying on external forces was not a solution. Even if he could enhance his strength now, what about later? Who could guarantee that there wouldn’t be an opponent stronger than Lingxiao in that small piece of land on the Nine Provinces Continent?
Having accurately grasped Ye Huan’s psychology, Yu Wuxia revealed a slight smile, holding the brocade box placed between them and presenting it before Ye Huan. She continued to persuade him: “What are you still hesitating about? The Foundation Pill contains a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. As long as you nod, this Foundation Pill will be yours!”
The thought that the Foundation Pill contained abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy lingered in Ye Huan’s mind, overshadowing everything else that Yu Wuxia had said. It inevitably reminded him of his 2012 Arms compendium.
In terms of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, a Sixth-Level Summoner would possess no less than a Cultivator in the Fasting Period. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few summoners and mages on the Nine Provinces Continent. Moreover, take the example of the Desert Eagle he summoned; it was able to step into the initial stage of foundation building without ever having encountered the path of a cultivator. Wasn’t that enough to prove the richness of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy contained within the Summoning Book?
Realizing this, when he looked at the Foundation Pill, disdain filled his face. This did not escape Yu Wuxia, who was taken aback and asked him again: “Ye Huan, do you really not want the Foundation Pill?”
“Foundation Pill? How many do you have? I want them all!”
To prevent further entanglement from Yu Wuxia, now understanding the composition of the Foundation Pill, Ye Huan decided to stop hiding his intentions. With a thought, his 2012 Arms compendium appeared in his hand, radiating rich Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
Flipping through its pages, he found the Gatling gun under the machine gun category. With a grin, he unleashed a surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, which quickly took shape before both him and Yu Wuxia, transforming into a six-barreled ‘God of Fire Cannon’ standing proudly in the arena.
Like a performance, following the method of retracting the Gatling gun, it soon transformed back into a stream of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Unlike how the energy from the Desert Eagle had manifested, this energy was significantly larger—like a white sphere with a diameter of six centimeters continuously rotating, creating visible whirlwinds around it that stirred up dust from the ground.
With a thought that it would be a waste not to use it, Ye Huan reached out and grabbed the glowing orb formed by the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, shoving it directly into his mouth.
First it was the Desert Eagle, then the Fire God Cannon Gatling. As he felt the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy rushing down his esophagus, Ye Huan couldn't help but wonder if he would summon the Dongfeng III next to consume even more...
Directly across from Ye Huan, Yu Wuxia watched his every move with clear eyes. His hand, which held the Foundation Pill, trembled slightly. It was no surprise; as a Cultivator, while others absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in serene places filled with spiritual energy, Yu Wuxia could only manage to absorb a pitiful amount in a day—at most one-tenth of a Foundation Pill.
Of course, rare treasures could also increase Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, but those were things one could only hope to find. Over the years, even Yu Wuxia had only managed to find a few thousand-year-old ginsengs. This made it clear just how difficult it was to obtain Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
In contrast, Ye Huan had already summoned enough Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from the Desert Eagle to reach half of a Foundation Pill's worth. As for the Gatling, it likely contained more Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy than two Foundation Pills combined.
Watching Ye Huan seemingly consume the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy without any depletion made Yu Wuxia feel increasingly uneasy. Even as the righteous sect leader, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn it, he's a monster! Isn't he afraid of exploding from consuming so much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy?"
