After absorbing the power from the Ten-Thousand-Year Bitter Rhyme Pill, the Qinglian Demon Fire also seemed to undergo a transformation.
“Crack, crack!”
A series of explosive sounds erupted from within the Qinglian Demon Fire, and the intense heat nearly overwhelmed Qin Chen.
Qin Chen hurriedly controlled the spread of the Qinglian Demon Fire's heat, but after just a few breaths, he noticed that the color of the green Qinglian Demon Fire began to change. The outer edges of the lotus gradually transformed into deep blue, then into light purple, resembling the color of the Bitter Rhyme Herb.
Moreover, that light purple color was gradually spreading inward.
However, this trace of purple ultimately did not reach the interior of the lotus; it merely lingered on the surface.
At this moment, the terrifying heat finally began to subside.
By now, the mysterious power that had emanated from the Bitter Rhyme Pill was completely depleted and could no longer be absorbed by the Qinglian Demon Fire.
In this instant, Qin Chen suddenly gained a moment of enlightenment.
The person who left the Qinglian Demon Fire here, cultivated this Bitter Rhyme Herb in the underground ruins most likely for the sake of this Qinglian Demon Fire.
Within the Bitter Rhyme Herb, there exists an energy capable of allowing the Qinglian Demon Fire to evolve.
The reason why he had to consume ten Bitter Rhyme Pills to achieve a transformation was probably because his physical body had undergone the tempering of the Qinglian Demon Fire, which required consuming such a large quantity of Bitter Rhyme Pills.
Otherwise, even if his physical body was strong, one Ten-Thousand-Year Bitter Rhyme Pill would have been more than sufficient.
“Boom!”
With a thought, a light purple Qinglian appeared in Qin Chen's hand. This Qinglian had a green interior but a purple exterior, dancing excitedly in the palm of his hand.
Although its shape remained unchanged, Qin Chen clearly understood that his Qinglian Demon Fire had been upgraded. If the original Qinglian Demon Fire's power was equivalent to a fifth-tier Blood Spirit Fire, then the current Qinglian Demon Fire was absolutely comparable to a sixth-tier Blood Spirit Fire, and even a standout among sixth-tier Blood Spirit Fires.
Now, when he encountered Qi Yugang and the others again, he would not need to expend as much energy; merely using this evolved Qinglian Demon Fire would be enough to slay them.
Putting away the Qinglian Demon Fire, Qin Chen focused his attention on his body.
At this time, his body was still undergoing a frenzied transformation, with vast amounts of true Qi from heaven and earth pouring into him, causing his cultivation to continuously increase.
After breaking through to the fifth tier, in just a brief moment, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the early fifth tier and was still climbing.
Aside from his cultivation, Qin Chen’s mental strength was also dramatically enhanced under the transformation of the Ten-Thousand-Year Bitter Rhyme Pill.
From his original fifth-tier mental strength, he instantly crossed into the sixth-tier realm, and it was still on the rise.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Bitter Rhyme Herb had experienced a long era, and the spirit energy contained within it had reached its peak. Such a treasure, Qin Chen had never seen in his past life in the Martial Domain, showcasing how astonishing it was!
The essence contained within it not only transformed Qin Chen's physical body and enhanced his cultivation but also allowed his spirit to undergo a metamorphosis, rejuvenating him.
“My foundation is too deep; in fact, I could have broken through to a half-step Wuzong even back in Ancient South City, or even directly entered the Wuzong realm. However, to prevent instability in my foundation, I have been holding back. Now that I've received the nourishment of the Ten-Thousand-Year Bitter Rhyme Pill, the power hidden within my body has erupted all at once.”
“Since I can break through now, why hide? I might as well break through completely in one go.”
