8: Chapter 008 Body Tempering Ultimate Pill, Opening the Path to the Nine Extremes!

"Senior Brother Chen, I was just having a simple discussion with Yu Qing..."

As soon as Chen Mingtao arrived, Zhao Lei wilted, forcing himself to try and explain.

Unfortunately, Chen Mingtao wasn't so easily fooled. A quick inquiry to those around him revealed the situation.

"Sect Rules, Article Three, Article Seven, do you want me to help you recall them?" Chen Mingtao stared at Zhao Lei with a dark expression and said coldly, "Are you coming with me to the Law Enforcement Hall, or will you punish yourself by copying the precepts ten times?"

How could Zhao Lei dare to go to the Law Enforcement Hall? He quickly lowered his head, "I, I'll copy them myself..."

"If there's a next time, I won't go easy on you!" Chen Mingtao glared at him fiercely again.

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you, Senior Brother, for your generosity!" Zhao Lei didn't dare to utter another word, practically scrambling away, not even looking back.

Chen Mingtao snorted coldly, then turned to Li Siwen, his tone instantly softening: "Junior Sister Li, if there are any more short-sighted people like that in the future, just tell them my name!"

[From the onlookers' astonishment +15, surprise +18]

Chen Mingtao's obvious preferential treatment stunned the surrounding Disciples.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Chen!" Li Siwen said with a hesitant expression, "I appreciate your good intentions, Senior Brother, but if I report your name every time something happens, I'm afraid I'll gain a reputation for 'borrowing a tiger's prestige' within the Sect, and you, Senior Brother, will inevitably be accused of bullying others with your power."

"Although I am just a small Utility Disciple, easily bullied by anyone, I don't want to make things difficult for Senior Brother. I hope to rely on my own efforts to make those who look down on me see me in a new light."

[From Yu Qing's admiration +35]

[From the onlookers' approval +24]

[From Chen Mingtao's discomfort +28]

"It was Senior Brother who didn't think it through. Junior Sister has high aspirations, keep working hard in the future!" Chen Mingtao seemed to shiver, his mouth twitching slightly.

He avoided Li Siwen's gaze and turned to Yu Qing, saying, "You escort Junior Sister to her new residence properly, and take good care of her. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first!"

With that, he hurriedly left with the Law Enforcement Disciples, as if he really had urgent matters to attend to.

Li Siwen inwardly chuckled. It seemed this Chen Mingtao was different from others, allergic to 'green tea' tactics, truly a clear-headed individual.

"Junior Sister, thank you so much just now!" Yu Qing finally relaxed at this point, scratching his head, "If you hadn't left Zhao Lei speechless, I really wouldn't have known how to argue with him."

Li Siwen twitched his lips but said no more. He just wanted to get to his new residence quickly and organize his gains.

Yu Qing led Li Siwen to the edge of the Outer Sect residential area, where a wooden house with a small courtyard came into view.

It was much more orderly than the previous dilapidated wooden house. The original wooden door panel was undamaged, and a new wooden plaque was nailed beside the door frame, with the three characters "Li Shiwen" written on it, seemingly rushed out.

Pushing open the half-closed door, the courtyard was paved with light gray flagstones, and a half-worn stone mortar sat in a corner.

Two half-withered Spiritual Plants were also growing by the wall. Although their leaves were a bit droopy, they looked more vibrant than the wild grass in the Utility Area.

Upon entering the house, there was no musty smell like in the old wooden house; instead, there was a faint scent of plant ash.

Clearly, Yu Qing had helped clean it beforehand. Inside, there was only a wooden bed, a square table, and two chairs. The furniture wasn't new, but there were no worm-eaten holes, and the bed was covered with a clean, coarse cloth mattress.

What made Li Siwen most comfortable was the light blue cloth curtain hanging by the window, which could block the outside view when drawn. There was also a small vent in the corner of the wall, and the wind blowing in from it carried the scent of the plants outside the courtyard, making it much brighter than the cramped, dilapidated wooden house.

Yu Qing didn't stay long, giving a few simple instructions before leaving after Li Siwen thanked him.

At this moment, the light screen of the Empress Chat Group lit up again.

quadratically Su Qingxue's figure appeared first, with a translucent, pure white Medicinal Pill suspended at her fingertips.

The pill body glowed with a faint golden light, and a clear medicinal fragrance could be smelled when approached. Even the surrounding Spiritual Qi seemed to be attracted, gently circling the Medicinal Pill.

"Junior Sister Shiwen, during this Secret Realm trip, I found several 'Extreme Realm Grass' and 'Body Tempering Flowers,' and have asked Tang Jingjing to refine them into a 'body tempering extreme realm pill'."

quadratically Su Qingxue's voice was more solemn than usual.

After Li Siwen (Li Shiwen)'s consciousness appeared, she lightly flicked her fingertip, and the Medicinal Pill transformed into a beam of light, landing in the palm of Li Siwen's conscious projection.

"This pill can break the inherent shackles of Body Tempering Perfection, expanding your Body Tempering limit by another 20%. Ordinary Cultivators stop at Body Tempering Perfection, but if you can refine this pill, you can enter the 'Body Tempering Extreme Realm'."

Tang Jingjing, standing by, added with a smile, "This Medicinal Pill requires 'Ice Flame' to control the temperature during refinement, and quadratically Su Qingxue added many Advanced Materials to ensure the medicinal power is not damaged. Ordinary Body Tempering Medicinal Pills only strengthen the Physical Body, but this Extreme Realm Pill can reshape the Body Tempering Foundation, laying a solid Foundation for subsequent Realms."

quadratically Su Qingxue didn't reply, but her gaze was fixed on Li Siwen, her tone carrying a hint of certainty about the future: "You and I are both future Emperors, and the 'Jiuji' of the 'Nine Poles Empress' is by no means an empty title."

"I guess it means reaching the Extreme Realm in all nine major Realms, breaking the upper limit of each layer. Junior Sister Shiwen, you might be able to forge an unprecedented path and become an 'Emperor among Emperors'!"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Mo Rui, who was usually the most lively, stopped smiling.

Shang Ting also nodded slightly, saying, "quadratically Su Qingxue is right. Throughout the ages, those who could reach the Extreme Realm in a single Realm were already few and far between. A Supreme with two or three Extreme Realms is enough to be called an Emperor. If all nine Realms are Extreme... that would indeed be unique through all eternity!"

Li Siwen held the warm Medicinal Pill in his palm, feeling its weight far exceeded its size.

This was not just a realm breaking pill, but the first step of the "Nine Poles Path" quadratically Su Qingxue had laid for him.

He quickly bowed, his voice filled with genuine gratitude: "Sister Qingxue, you've gone to great lengths. I will remember this kindness."

quadratically Su Qingxue gently shook her head, a hint of expectation flashing in her eyes: "You helped me break the barrier and find the opportunity for the Ancient Cultivator Legacy; this is what you deserve. Refine this pill well, and I look forward to the day you embark on the Nine Poles Path."

His consciousness returned to reality, and Li Siwen looked at the translucent white Medicinal Pill in his hand, unable to help but gasp.

Nine Poles, it was actually nine great Extreme Realms!

If quadratically Su Qingxue hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have thought of that.

Having read countless web novels in his previous life, he naturally understood the weight implied by 'Extreme Realm'.

If successful, he would suppress an entire era as invincible; the so-called 'Emperor among Emperors' was not an exaggeration.

quadratically Su Qingxue not only gave him a Medicinal Pill but also ignited Li Siwen's ambition to walk the path of invincibility.

This kindness was not something that could be exchanged for a few simple function pointers from before.

However, a tall building starts from the ground. The future is the future, and for now, steadily taking each step is the most important.

Moreover, such a precious Medicinal Pill should be taken in the best state. Let's first see if the System lottery can bring some surprising assistance.

Li Siwen habitually scanned the System panel, then his face showed a look of pleasant surprise.

emotion points—1024!

It broke a thousand?

Time for a big one!

"System, activate lottery mode, I want ten consecutive draws!"

Li Siwen waved his hand grandly, looking like a nouveau riche squandering money.

But before the System could respond, he quickly shouted, "Wait a minute, I want to bathe and burn incense first, and pray to the Heavens and Earth before drawing!"
