Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239 - 1224: Primordial Aura

"The method the old servant is going to use on Captain Ye is the one with the highest survival rate and the greatest cost among all the methods the old servant has used over the years to quickly train elite troops for the Marquis!" While leading Ye Zhen to the place to handle the matter, Zhao Zhong explained to Ye Zhen.

"The highest survival rate, how high is it?" Ye Zhen asked.

"The foundation of this method is said to have been passed down from the Heavenly Temple. For Martial Artists in the Establishment Realm using this method for rapid advancement, the survival rate is as high as ninety percent! For those in the Dao Entrance Realm, it’s seventy percent! Even for those in the Divine Communication Realm, the survival rate can reach around forty percent using this method!" Zhao Zhong said.

Ye Zhen was taken aback, with a ninety percent survival rate for quickly advancing to the Establishment Realm. If such a method were brought to the True Profound Continent, who knows how many people would be clamoring for rapid advancement.

Because in the normal cultivation process, out of a thousand Martial Artists at the First Stage of the Establishment, after a hundred years, the ones who manage to reach the Ninth Stage and survive might not even be one-tenth.

Most of them are killed, eaten by Demon Beasts, or experience qi deviation.

But now, directly advancing cultivation from the Early to Mid-stage of the Establishment Realm to the Peak Ninth Stage of the Establishment Realm with a ninety percent survival rate, isn’t this a great blessing?

Looking at the extremely surprised Ye Zhen, Zhao Zhong slowly said, "A ninety percent survival rate is correct, but among the ninety percent who do survive, more than half become mad, insane, foolish, or silly!"

Ye Zhen, who was just surprised with his mouth agape, snapped his mouth shut and took a deep breath, and half of those who survive become mad or foolish?

For a Martial Artist, this is no better than being dead.

"Uh, Elder Zhao, perhaps we should try another method?" Ye Zhen hesitated.

Zhao Zhong’s old face suddenly turned grim, "Change the method? That’s impossible!"

"What I just mentioned is the survival rate for methods within half a year, but the Marquis now only gives me two months, so this method is the one with the highest chance of success!" Zhao Zhong said.

"How big?" Ye Zhen anxiously asked.

"Let me calculate!" Zhao Zhong started counting on his fingers, "Since you’re specially cared for by the Marquis, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures used for you can be top-notch, which can increase your survival rate by at least twenty percent!

The old servant is focusing only on you this time, so the dosage can be adjusted at any time, increasing your survival rate by more than ten percent.

You already have Fifth Stage Establishment cultivation, and pure Yimu Spiritual Power protects your body, increasing your survival rate by at least twenty percent!

Hmm, not bad, I calculated that your survival rate is over seventy percent!" Zhao Zhong said.

"Seventy percent!"

Ye Zhen let out a small sigh of relief, but then suddenly widened his eyes, "So what is the chance of me becoming mad, insane, foolish, or silly?"

Zhao Zhong unexpectedly glanced at Ye Zhen, "This mainly depends on your Divine Soul intensity and will! The stronger the will, the stronger the Divine Soul Power, the less likely you are to become insane or silly.

Captain Ye could be considered one of those with Divine Soul Power stronger than their cultivation level, with Late Stage Innate Soul Light Sixth Stage, two stages high. The old servant estimates that Captain Ye has about a forty percent chance of becoming foolish or silly!"

Zhao Zhong’s eyes twinkled with brilliance, "Since the Marquis said that only the result matters, there are other precious pills in the treasury that the old servant can also use. The probability might shrink to thirty percent!"

At this point, Zhao Zhong’s triangular eyes turned upright towards Ye Zhen, "But the most important thing is still personal will! Theoretically, as long as you have a tenacious will, you can withstand it indefinitely."

"Will?"

Hearing these two words, Ye Zhen let out a sigh of relief.

As it’s related to Divine Soul Power, he wasn’t afraid!

His Innate Soul Light is four-colored, with the War Soul Blood Flag protecting his Divine Soul, Ye Zhen suddenly felt that this rapid cultivation did not seem too dangerous!

At least it can save Ye Zhen seven to ten years of cultivation time, and the benefits seem substantial.

"Then, let’s do it!"

Zhao Zhong just chuckled sinisterly, as if he appreciated Ye Zhen’s courage.

Soon, Zhao Zhong led Ye Zhen to a large underground chamber where over a hundred green-robed young eunuchs were busily preparing.

The floor of the underground chamber was full of complex patterns, but most striking was the large cauldron in the center, bubbling with steam.

"Children, are you all ready?" Zhao Zhong pinched his throat and shouted.

"Reporting to Grandpa Chief, everything is prepared according to your instructions!"

Receiving a brocade box from a little eunuch, Zhao Zhong handed a pigeon-egg-sized, fragrant emerald green pill inside to Ye Zhen.

"Swallow it!"

"What is it?" Ye Zhen asked.

Zhao Zhong’s triangular eyes flipped sharply, "Now the old servant’s life is tied with Captain Ye’s, what are you afraid of! For this rapid advancement, there are hundreds or thousands of ingredients in the pill, should the old servant explain one by one?

You know there’s no danger, but if you get distracted, the old servant would be incredibly unlucky!"

Rolling his eyes largely, Ye Zhen swallowed the pill, and the moment the pill entered his mouth, an indescribable gentle medicinal power spread, dispersing to his limbs, bones, and internal organs.

Moreover, a mighty force surged into Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace. As soon as the gentle power entered Ye Zhen’s Spirit Palace, the cracks in the Spirit Pillar that were not fully healed due to the injury he suffered a few days ago at the Clan Guardian Secret Vault in Xitian County were completely restored within a breath.

"Healing Pills?" Ye Zhen glanced at Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong said nothing, only pointed to the steaming large cauldron in the center of the underground palace, gesturing for Ye Zhen to enter.

The soup in the grand hall was milky white. Although it was boiling, Ye Zhen’s current physique was truly not afraid.

Undressing in front of a group of eunuchs, Ye Zhen still felt some psychological pressure, so he nearly stepped into the boiling cauldron at the fastest speed.

As he entered, Ye Zhen let out a comfortable moan.

So refreshing!

The milky white medicinal power burrowed straight into the 36,000 pores of his body. The instant the medicine penetrated his skin, a deep sense of relaxation spread throughout his entire body.

All the fatigue seemed to be driven away in that instant, and the breath carried by the milky medicine vaguely began to strengthen Ye Zhen’s five internal organs and six hollow organs.

"This seems really enjoyable!"

"Yes, soon you’ll be in ecstasy!"

After two hours, when the milky white medicinal power dimmed, Zhao Zhong lightly clapped his hands, and the little eunuchs each came forward to pour a large amount of fresh and rich medicinal juice into the cauldron.

The immense spiritual power contained in the juice, Ye Zhen did not need to smell, he could sense it with his body.

The Impermanence Profound Fire Technique began to operate spontaneously, absorbing the spiritual power within the liquid.

At this moment, Zhao Zhong laughed sinisterly, personally opened a jar heavily sealed, and the pungent smell of blood immediately spread.

In the next instant, Zhao Zhong poured about a hundred pounds of an unknown blood into the cauldron.

Just like pouring cold water into hot oil, the whole cauldron immediately crackled explosively, and the liquid inside started to burst and boil!

As the unknown blood mixed with the medicinal juice, it began to crazily drill into Ye Zhen’s body like a drill.

In an instant, Ye Zhen’s skin and meridians became bloody, but the medicinal power from the pill he previously took instantly healed the injuries he just received.

Destruction and recovery occurred simultaneously, and Ye Zhen felt as if he was in the deep ocean of spiritual power. Countless openings appeared on his body, and the terrifying spiritual power was wildly pouring into him.

Under this spirit pressure, Ye Zhen’s Impermanence Profound Fire Technique began to operate at an astonishing speed, and seven spirit pillars simultaneously erupted with dazzling light, their aura started to rise.

Under this constant stabbing pain, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but scream aloud.

"Heh, you can’t hold it even at the start! Didn’t you say it was very enjoyable earlier? Seems like Captain Ye isn’t as good as us, whose bodies are incomplete!" Zhao Zhong’s mocking voice sounded.

"Screw your mother!"

Ye Zhen roared furiously, crazily cooperating to transfer and operate the Impermanence Profound Fire Technique, while shouting loudly, "Enjoyable!"

"Really damn enjoyable!"

"Enjoying to the heavens!"

Amid Ye Zhen’s roaring, the immense spiritual power in the blood began to be quickly refined and absorbed by him.

Suddenly, while the other six spirit pillars were rapidly improving their cultivation, Ye Zhen’s Black Water Spirit Pillar abruptly flashed gloriously and transformed into a celestial black dragon phantom roaring to the heavens.

With a roar, Ye Zhen’s speed of absorbing the medicinal power of the cauldron suddenly increased by more than ten times.

More accurately, the speed of absorbing the blood’s power increased by more than tenfold, and in just an instant, visibly, the black dragon phantom that Ye Zhen’s Black Water Spirit Pillar transformed into expanded greatly.

Not only that, Ye Zhen was dumbfounded to find that his Black Water Spirit Pillar had unexpectedly grown an inch taller, becoming extremely prominent among the seven spirit pillars.

Pausing for a moment, Ye Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Zhong, "Blood, what kind of blood is this?"

"Heh, what else could it be! It’s the blood of a horned dragon with ten thousand years of cultivation! Captain Ye, to be honest, other people can only cultivate with flood dragon blood that has several thousand years of cultivation, but Captain Ye using horned dragon blood with ten thousand years of cultivation is because the Marquis gave a firm order, otherwise those caretakers wouldn’t let such good things out even if beaten to death," Zhao Zhong said.

"Horned dragon blood with ten thousand years of cultivation? Then these horned dragons have Ancient Dragon Clan bloodline?" Ye Zhen asked.

"Of course!"

"As long as they can shapeshift into dragons, they’ll awaken some amount of the Ancient Dragon Clan bloodline! Otherwise, how could the medicinal power be so strong!" Zhao Zhong said.

Upon receiving this answer, a peculiar, indescribable smile appeared on Ye Zhen’s lips before he suddenly closed his eyes.

Under the horned dragon blood and the medicine, Ye Zhen’s skin and muscles suddenly began to flicker with a faint black light.

As the faint black light flickered, the horned dragon blood within the medicine began to rapidly disappear. When the blood brought by the horned dragon blood inside the cauldron was nearly gone, a trace of elusive primordial aura was already emanating from Ye Zhen’s body.

At the same time, Ye Zhen opened his eyes and shouted, "Chief Zhao, we’re out of medicine, add more, add more medicine!"

Zhao Zhong, who was pretending to nap, opened his eyes in that instant and stared wide-eyed!
