"Moreover, this elixir has no side effects at all, so you don't need to worry," Han Yue continued to explain, seeing the longing yet hesitant expressions of the many elders.
Generally, elixirs that can greatly enhance strength have significant side effects. Take the Life-Devouring Pill, for example. Although it can greatly increase one's "Cultivation Level," the cultivator's remaining life will not exceed three years after consuming it. Even with such strength-enhancing elixirs available, people generally dare not take them rashly.
"What?"
A group of people's eyes widened.
An elixir that could instantly break through to Dou Zun, without any side effects?
Such an elixir was unheard of.
Is such an amazing elixir really just Seventh Grade?
It's probably even more sought after than those Eighth-grade Elixirs.
Can Eighth-grade Elixirs allow someone to enter Dou Zun without any damage?
"Hiss. If this elixir appeared on the market, it would definitely be more popular than the usual Eighth-grade Elixir. Even if it only works for those below Dou Zun, that's still very powerful. There aren't that many Dou Zuns in the whole Zhongzhou," one of them said.
"Yue'er, do you have more of these elixirs, cough cough, your second uncle also wants to…" Han Tian stared intently at Han Yue. If this kind of elixir could be mass-produced, wouldn't the Han Family see a sudden surge in the number of Dou Zuns? At that time, whom would they need to fear?
"Second Uncle, do you think Seventh-grade Elixirs are cabbages?" Han Yue said, a bit annoyed. She didn't even have the nerve to ask Xu Ran for more of these elixirs. If she were to ask for so many elixirs for the Han Family, wouldn't she be exhausted to death?
"Exactly, Seventh-grade Elixirs are not so easy to come by. Having even one such elixir is already great," Han Chi said with a smile. Mass-producing such Seventh-grade Elixirs and then mass-creating Dou Zun? He couldn't even dare to think of such good fortune.
"Hehe. But it's not entirely impossible. Worst comes to worst, I'll just ask Xu Ran for a few more in the future," Han Yue said, sticking out her tongue.
"Are you saying that Lord Xu Ran can still refine such elixirs?" The group became excited, their reverence for Xu Ran growing. If they could also have such an elixir, why would they need to cultivate so arduously? At their level of "Cultivation," it was common to be unable to breakthrough even one level for over a decade.
"Yes. Xu Ran had taken out several; I only took one of them to bring to father," Han Yue nodded.
These were elixirs mass-produced by Xu Ran, and for him, it was not a strain at all. The elixirs that Han Yue and the others consumed on a daily basis were much better than these. Although this kind of elixir could greatly increase "Cultivation Level," it would greatly compress future potential, but that hardly counted as a side effect. For people like Han Chi, who were doomed not to break through to Dou Zun, it didn't matter.
"Yue'er, your second uncle has been good to you," he said.
"Yue'er, your third uncle has also been kind to you," another chimed in.
"…"
"Alright, alright, can you elders act a bit more like elders? Second Brother, I need to seclude myself for some time, and I'll leave the Han Family in your hands," Han Chi said to Han Tian, grabbing the elixir that was emitting a strong fragrance. He couldn't wait to swallow it immediately.
"Big Brother, you can seclude yourself right here. Shall we all stay and protect you?" Han Tian wanted to see if the effects of Han Chi refining this elixir were truly as miraculous as they said.
"Okay."
Han Chi nodded.
Han Chi sat cross-legged, circulating the Dou Qi in his body, and then put the elixir in his mouth.
The terrifying medicinal power dissolved instantly upon entering his mouth, exploding and surging towards Han Chi's meridians.
In just an instant, Han Chi's "Cultivation Level" skyrocketed to Five-Star Dou Zong!
Han Chi's face was flushed red, and large beads of sweat dripped from his body.
And the speed at which his "Cultivation Level" broke through was not lagging behind at all, still soaring at an extremely fast pace. His meridians also rapidly expanded under the impact of that immense medicinal strength.
In just a few breaths of time, Han Chi could clearly feel that his Dou Qi had increased several times over.
And this seemed to have consumed only a small part of that immense medicinal strength.
Six-Star Dou Zong!
Seven-Star Dou Zong!
Eight-Star Dou Zong!
Nine-Star Dou Zong!
Han Chi's "Cultivation Level" sky-rocketed, the speed of its rise so fast that everyone clicked their tongues in astonishment, even Han Yue was somewhat dumbfounded!
It was only after Han Chi's "Cultivation Level" reached Nine-Star Dou Zong that the speed of his ascent finally began to slow down. The medicinal strength required to break through from Dou Zong to Dou Zun was even more than what it took to go from a One-Star Dou Zong to a Nine-Star Dou Zong.
Many people came to a halt when transitioning from Dou Zong to Dou Zun, across the ages.
Once one steps into Dou Zun, they become one of the top powerhouses in Zhongzhou. Aside from those ageless beings, they'll fear no one else!
"Heavens, the boss's "Cultivation Level" is breaking through way too quickly."
"What a terrifying Elixir. It hasn't even been the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and he's already broken through to a Nine-Star Dou Zong."
"It seems that it's only a matter of Time before our Clan Leader breaks through to Dou Zun."
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief; as long as Han Chi could break through to Dou Zun, then their Han Family would truly rise. Although they're bound to be unprovoked in the future thanks to Xu Ran, Xu Ran isn't a member of the Han Family after all, and it's only when one of their own becomes powerful that they're truly strong. Besides, Han Chi's breakthrough also proved that this Elixir could truly enable someone to break through to Dou Zun, which was absolutely great news for them.
In the future, perhaps they would also have this opportunity.
As long as they kept a hold on their son-in-law Xu Ran, would they need to worry about their "Cultivation Level" not advancing? Even the more common Elixirs from Xu Ran were enough to benefit them greatly.
They dared to say that even the Soul Hall did not have such a badass Alchemist!
Xu Ran was definitely more than a Seventh Rank Alchemist, possibly even an Eighth-grade Pharmacist, or even...
Han Chi's breakthrough had nearly drained all the heaven earth origin energy in Tianbei City, and the immense momentum caused all the powerhouses in the entire city to be frightened. The commotion caused by his instant breakthrough across so many levels was no less than that of a Dou Zun's breakthrough.
"The Han Family seems to be untouchable now. Such a grand momentum must be due to that young man from the Han Family."
"Why can't our family have such good luck?"
"Damn It. If we also had the support of that young man, we could dismiss the Hong Family and Han Family outright."
Some insightful people in Tianbei City watched with envy.
Without Xu Ran, the Han Family would definitely not be a match for the Hong Family. If their family could befriend a powerhouse like Xu Ran, they could easily become the overlord of Tianbei City as well. How could they not be envious of the Han Family's good fortune?
Furthermore, given the massive commotion the Han Family had just caused, one didn't need to think to know that the Han Family had definitely reaped a huge benefit this time, with someone's "Cultivation Level" skyrocketing. This level of oppression was even stronger than the Feng Lei Pavilion's previous Elder.
