Ye Wushuang nodded slowly and said, “Alright!”

Taking the five Golden Thunder Pills, Ye Wushuang continued, “I need some time to recover. If you want to leave, go ahead.”

“These three ancient halls might lead deeper, where greater opportunities await…”

However, Xu Wen plopped down beside Ye Wushuang, chuckling, “How could I? Rest easy, I’ll guard you!”

Ye Wushuang just stared at Xu Wen, not saying a word.

Xu Wen quickly waved his hands, “Alright, alright, I know you don’t trust me. I’ll guard you from thirty zhang away. How’s that?”

Xu Wen retreated to the other side of the hall.

Ye Wushuang put away four of the Golden Thunder Pills, holding one in his palm.

The Golden Thunder Pill, a fourth-grade spiritual pill, offers immense benefits to those at the Tiangang and Wanfa realms. It enhances the power of one’s Tiangang energy and Wanfa force—something every martial artist needs. For those at the Yuanfu realm, it has the miraculous effect of transforming one’s bloodline, sinews, and bones, as well as the Yuanfu itself.

However, such a powerful fourth-grade pill, if swallowed directly by a Yuanfu realm cultivator, could cause the thunder energy within to explode the Yuanfu.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Wushuang slowly crushed the Golden Thunder Pill in his palm.

Two second-grade pills appeared in his palm as well, which he also crushed. He then condensed the spiritual energy in his palm, mixing the powders of the three pills together.

From a distance, Xu Wen saw this and quickly asked, “Brother Ye, cultivators at the Yuanfu realm can’t swallow this pill directly. What are you doing? Tell me, will you?”

Ye Wushuang glanced at Xu Wen and tossed him two pills, “The second-grade Guanyuan Huadan and Ningling Xudan. These two pills are used to neutralize the powerful effects of high-grade pills.”

“I didn’t expect Brother Ye to have knowledge of pill-making. I’m truly impressed,” Xu Wen said as he caught the pills. He mimicked Ye Wushuang’s actions, mixed the powders, and then stuffed them into his mouth.

However, in the next moment,

**Crackle…**

Xu Wen’s mouth felt like hundreds of popping beans had exploded inside, leaving his mouth full of blood.

Even so, he dared not open his mouth and forcibly swallowed all the powder.

After a while, Xu Wen opened his mouth, revealing two broken teeth, and said with a wry face, “Brother Ye, your method doesn’t work either…”

Ye Wushuang ignored him, took out a jade bottle, poured all the pill powder into it, added some spiritual liquid, mixed it, and drank it all in one go.

Suddenly, a natural and powerful energy burst forth within Ye Wushuang’s body.

Seeing this, Xu Wen was dumbfounded and said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier!”

“Who told you to be so impatient?”

Ye Wushuang closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to Xu Wen, and began to carefully experience the mysteries of the Golden Thunder Pill.

Xu Wen also felt as if tiny thunder dragons were striking his internal organs. He immediately began to refine the pill’s effects, not daring to be careless.

Though he was battered, at least the pill’s effects had entered his body.

The two figures, separated by thirty zhang, each cultivated on their own.

About an hour later.

Xu Wen suddenly opened his eyes, burped, and a thunderous roar erupted.

Tiangang energy flowed over his body. He clenched his fists, and he seemed like a Thunder Sovereign, with terrifying power surging all over him.

Tiangang realm!

Xu Wen was overjoyed.

The Golden Thunder Pill was truly amazing.

At that moment, on the other side, Ye Wushuang’s body also had spiritual energy condensing around him.

Xu Wen looked over and saw that Ye Wushuang now had eight energy whirlpools around him instead of seven.

He had reached the eighth tier of the Yuanfu realm.

Moreover, the spiritual energy within Ye Wushuang’s body contained an extremely powerful thunder force. His Yuanfu whirlpool was three times larger than that of an ordinary cultivator.

“This guy is really a monster…”

In fact, Xu Wen had already noticed earlier that Ye Wushuang’s Yuanfu was more than twice as powerful as that of an ordinary Yuanfu realm genius. That was why Ye Wushuang, at the seventh tier of the Yuanfu realm, could withstand attacks from a Tiangang realm cultivator.

But now, just one Golden Thunder Pill had not only pushed Ye Wushuang to the eighth tier of the Yuanfu realm but also doubled the power of his Yuanfu.

What kind of strength did that imply?

**Crack… Crack…**

Ye Wushuang opened his eyes. Xu Wen clapped and approached Ye Wushuang, praising, “Brother Ye is truly amazing. At the eighth tier of the Yuanfu realm, killing Du Mingxing and Gu Ruochen would be even easier now.”

“It’s just the effect of the Golden Thunder Pill.”

“No, no, no!” Xu Wen shook his head. “Brother Ye’s natural talent is absolutely off the charts.”

“It was three!”

Hearing this, Xu Wen stumbled and almost fell over.

Three?

This guy swallowed three pills?

Wasn’t he afraid of exploding?

Xu Wen laughed nervously, “Brother Ye, let’s go into the passage and see what mysteries lie beneath.”

“Wait a moment!”

Ye Wushuang then walked to the center of the hall, in front of the blood pool.

The blood pool was now empty of Golden Thunder Pills, and the blood no longer bubbled.

Xu Wen looked at the blood pool and shrank back.

Earlier, they had seen Chi Yu Tian give up a life-saving treasure to retrieve the seven Golden Thunder Pills. If it weren’t for that, Chi Yu Tian might not have retreated so easily.

“What’s so interesting about this?” Xu Wen couldn’t help but ask.

“This is the essence blood of a spiritual beast.”

Spiritual beast essence blood?

Could it be a venomous beast?

Ye Wushuang then took out several large jade bottles and collected all the blood from the pool.

Xu Wen had intended to stop him, but seeing Ye Wushuang easily collect the blood without any issues, he was stunned.

He had just witnessed the corrosive nature of the blood, yet now, nothing seemed to happen.

“The essence blood of a fourth-stage spiritual beast, the Golden-Winged Fire Crane. This kind of blood is a great tonic. However, the Golden Thunder Pills stored in it earlier made the blood highly corrosive, which was due to the pill’s effects…”

After putting away the jade bottles, Ye Wushuang said, “Let’s go.”

Xu Wen looked at the empty blood pool, then at Ye Wushuang’s retreating figure, and scratched his bald head.

This guy really knows a lot!

The two followed the passage, heading deeper.

Initially, the passage was only one zhang high, but the further they went, the wider it became.

After traveling several li, the passage was dozens of zhang wide.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, the two stopped.

On one side of the passage ahead, several corpses lay on the ground, with a strong smell of blood.

“It’s people from Du Mingyue and Feng Chengyu’s group…”

“And also from Chi Yu Tian’s group…”

Xu Wen looked at the corpses and said, “They must have run into each other and fought?”

“Probably not.”

Ye Wushuang examined the corpses and said, “The wounds look like they were torn by spiritual beasts.”

“Spiritual beasts!”

In this desolate underground place, there were actually living spiritual beasts?

**Drip…**

Suddenly, Xu Wen felt a cold sensation on his neck. He touched it and found it sticky.

And at that moment, a sword beam stabbed straight towards him.

“Damn it, Brother Ye!”

**Clang…**

The sword energy brushed past Xu Wen’s neck and struck behind him.
