20: With the aid of elixirs, I broke through two realms in succession!

"He has cultivation talent!"

Zhang Xiangwen and Zhao Jun spoke in unison, the previous gloom on their faces significantly diminished.

Chu Yuan glanced at the sky.

The sun had already risen, and a ray of morning light sprinkled into the village, as if bringing a glimmer of hope.

He looked at Zhang Xiangwen and Zhao Jun, "Uncle Zhang, what's the situation?"

Hearing this question, the joy on Zhao Jun's and Zhang Xiangwen's faces disappeared, replaced by solemnity.

"Zhang Mo and the other two are dead, their entire Yang Qi sucked dry!"

"Ghosts absorb Yang Qi, monsters absorb essence, and demons eat flesh and blood. This must be the work of a Ghostly Creature!"

"Tie Zhu lost more than half a percent of his Yang Qi, and there's a trace of Yin Fiend Qi in his body."

Uncle Zhang said with a heavy expression:

"According to Tie Lin, he heard someone in the village shout that something had happened, and he hurriedly got up to check, but felt a chill in his room."

"He realized Tie Zhu might be in trouble, so he rushed into Tie Zhu's room with a knife, but only saw a black shadow flash by!"

"The village protecting bell rang at that time!"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan frowned slightly, and said with hesitation, "Uncle Zhang, a Ghostly Creature that the village protecting bell couldn't detect, and that could silently absorb Yang Qi and essence, would it flee?"

But upon hearing this, the two shook their heads, seemingly disagreeing with this statement.

Zhao Jun said, "Among the six surnames of Xiao Huang Village, the Clan Chief of each surname holds a fierce weapon refined from the essence blood of Yao Beasts, which can pose a threat to Ghostly Creatures. It would naturally retreat."

As he spoke, he looked at the knife in Chu Yuan's hand and gestured, "The one in your hand is Xiang Wen's, also held by the Zhang Clan Chief."

"In addition, the Village Chief of Xiao Huang Village also has one, which is even better than the one in the Clan Chief's hand, which is why this one was left at home."

Hearing this explanation, Chu Yuan looked down at the machete in his hand.

No wonder holding it gave him a sharp, fierce feeling; it turned out to be a fierce weapon!

"Alright, you don't need to worry too much about this. Cultivate well during this period and strive to Breakthrough to the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm as soon as possible!"

Zhang Xiangwen said, his expression looking very serious.

Chu Yuan nodded, indicating he understood.

Zhang Xiangwen looked at Aunt Xu, "Prepare something to eat. We still have things to do after we eat."

"Okay!"

Aunt Xu quickly nodded and pulled Zhang Yan into the kitchen.

The two sat down, and Zhao Jun began to speak:

"Now, with the Fire Fox Demon eyeing us from outside, and an unknown Ghostly Creature inside, we need to find and eliminate that Ghostly Creature as soon as possible, otherwise Xiao Huang Village will likely have no peace."

Zhang Xiangwen nodded, "Since the opponent can be scared away by a fierce weapon, it means the fierce weapon has an effect on it. It's not impossible to eliminate it."

"The priority now is not to let it continue to absorb Yang Qi and grow."

"Xiang Wen, why don't we gather everyone together for a while, it'll also be easier to protect them."

Zhang Xiangwen heard this and nodded slightly:

"Before the Ghostly Creature is caught, gathering everyone together is indeed the best method!"

"But there are too many things to consider; it's not something that can be done just by talking!"

Chu Yuan stood by, listening to their conversation, his expression somewhat calm.

He always felt there was something strange about this matter, and he feared their method would not be very effective!

A moment later.

After they finished their thin porridge, Zhao Jun and Zhang Xiangwen were about to leave.

Chu Yuan thought of something and quickly asked:

"Uncle Zhang, I always feel that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is somewhat thin, and the Cultivation effect might not be very good. Is there a way to speed up Cultivation?"

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang shook his head, "There are ways, but our village doesn't have the conditions for them."

Chu Yuan frowned slightly, about to ask, when he saw Zhao Jun interject:

"According to ancestral records, Spirit Medicine contains Spiritual Qi and medicinal power. If it can be refined into pills, it can assist Cultivation."

"Of course, using low-grade Spirit Medicine in combination also works, but the effect is much weaker."

"For example, the red jujube you consumed earlier, its special medicinal power and spiritual power, has an effect on the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm!"

Hearing this, Chu Yuan's eyes lit up.

But then he saw Zhang Xiangwen shake his head and smile bitterly, "Don't get your hopes up. I was saving that red jujube to Breakthrough to the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm Peak, and there isn't a single one left in the village."

Zhao Jun patted Chu Yuan's shoulder, "Xiang Wen and I both need this kind of spirit fruit to improve our Cultivation. We used to refine them directly whenever we encountered them."

"There really isn't anything like this in the village, so we can't help you. You'll have to rely on yourself!"

Chu Yuan nodded and handed over the two booklets, the Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill.

"Uncle Zhang, I've already mastered the contents, so please return them to the Ancestral Hall!"

The two nodded and turned to leave.

Seeing them depart, a smile flashed in Chu Yuan's eyes.

There were no Spirit Medicine in the village, but he had them!

Perhaps the Spiritual Qi in this vicinity had been drained by him earlier, causing the gathered Spiritual Qi to be too thin, interrupting his Cultivation.

Now with the method of using Spirit Medicine, his Cultivation might be able to resume.

Chu Yuan turned, "Aunt Xu, Sister Yaner, I'm going to my room to Cultivate. Call me if you need anything!"

With that, Chu Yuan walked into the inner room, sat cross-legged, and swallowed a red jujube that had been strengthened once.

He began to Cultivate!

As the Cultivation Technique circulated, the scorching energy from the red jujube swept through his body, guided by the Cultivation Technique to continuously temper his internal organs.

The Impurities and toxins that were tempered out were all collected into the primal origin space.

Time quietly slipped away.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

It must be said that the strengthened Heavenly Revelation Basic Method was incredibly potent. In just one day, he had refined twelve strengthened red jujubes.

Because of this, he directly broke through two realms, raising his Cultivation to the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm Peak.

Next, he only needed to continue tempering his bone marrow to Breakthrough to Spiritual Enlightenment Realm Perfection.

However, Chu Yuan did not continue.

He had been Cultivating for a day, and Uncle Zhang was probably on his way back.

Furthermore, he also had a feeling that he had broken through too quickly and needed to consolidate his foundation.

If other Cultivators knew, they would probably scold him to death.

It is said that all medicine has some toxicity. For him to continuously Breakthrough using so many Spirit Medicine was truly reckless!

Moreover, the effect of the same Spirit Medicine would weaken if used too much.

Unfortunately.

Chu Yuan did not know this!

Perhaps due to the Cultivation Technique, or some other reason, Chu Yuan did not feel any abnormality.

As soon as he got up and walked out of the inner room, he saw Zhang Xiangwen walk in from outside.

"Uncle Zhang!"

"How's your Cultivation?"

Zhang Xiangwen sat down and asked casually, "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

"Very well, Uncle Zhang!"

Chu Yuan nodded, then hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Perhaps there was still some residual medicinal power from that red jujube, I seem to have already broken through to the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm Early Stage."

"It's good that you broke through..."

Zhang Xiangwen seemed somewhat distracted, answering casually.

But he quickly reacted, standing up with a "whoosh."

"What did you say?"

He stared intently at Chu Yuan, his eyes filled with disbelief.
