C25 Swallowing the Pill

Regarding Pill grades, they are categorized into twelve classes in the world. The first nine grades are known as Mortal Pills, with each higher grade being progressively more potent.

Tenth-class Pills are revered as Holy Pills, boasting effects that are tenfold that of Mortal Pills. Such a Holy Pill, with its profound healing properties, can save a person as long as they cling to a single breath.

Eleventh-class Pills are termed Divine Pills and possess the miraculous ability to bring the dead back to life.

Twelfth-class Pills, the rarest of all, are called Immortal Pills. They exist only in legends, and no one has ever laid eyes on these mythical Immortal Pills. Ancient texts claim that an Immortal Pill can grant a deceased Martial Cultivator a second chance at life!

Chen Feng could scarcely fathom the wonders of this world. Should he master this cultivation technique and Martial Skill, he suspected his power would grow even more formidable.

"Now, I'll consume the Pill to elevate my Cultivation Realm. Then, by practicing the Martial Skill and cultivation technique, I can tap into even greater strength!" he declared. With that, Chen Feng uncorked the jade bottle he held, revealing three round, emerald pills that shimmered with a crystalline sheen.

As soon as Chen Feng opened the bottle, a rich and heady aroma enveloped him, swiftly filling the room with its intoxicating scent. With each breath, Chen Feng felt a soothing warmth coursing through his meridians, an utterly blissful sensation.

The fragrance was an emanation of the Pill's potency; the more pervasive the scent, the more diminished the potency. Already, 1% of the Pill's power had dissipated.

"Has it really lost 1% of its effectiveness so quickly?" Chen Feng wondered, his hand trembling slightly as he placed all three Pills from the bottle into his mouth. They dissolved instantly, transforming into a warm surge that flowed through the channels of his limbs and torso.

If anyone had witnessed Chen Feng consuming Pills in such a manner, they would have been astounded, their jaws dropping in disbelief. He seemed to take the Pills for granted.

Typically, people swallow Pills one at a time, given their robust medicinal strength. It's common to engage in cultivation after ingesting Pills, yet typically, only about 70% of their potential is realized.

Chen Feng ingested three Pills in a single gulp. It was possible that he might not be able to fully harness the power of the medicine. There was also a chance he couldn't withstand such potent medicinal effects.

Ordinary Martial Artists wouldn't dare to consume Pills as recklessly as Chen Feng did. Some overzealous and imprudent Martial Cultivators had already served as a cautionary tale, having been unable to cope with the fierce and volatile power of the Pills. Ultimately, their meridians shattered, rendering them incapable of holding any more energy, and they lost all their cultivation!

Yet, when Chen Feng swallowed the three Pills, he felt as though flames were burning inside him. Thanks to his Pain Resistance and Fire Resistance, he didn't experience any adverse effects.

Still, sweat beaded on Chen Feng's forehead, and the swollen sensation in his meridians alerted him to the critical state within.

"System, what's happening?" Chen Feng asked, furrowing his brow, eager to find out if the system had a way to help him assimilate the medicine.

As his consciousness stirred, the system's prompt chimed in response.
