The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1299 - 1298: Returning to the Peak

Before activating his martial arts, Tang Rao needed to enhance his strength.It was difficult yet not impossible to elevate one's strength at the lower divine coming phase.

The difficulty lay in not relying on elixir pills to enhance one's internal power; it was not impossible because Tang Rao had walked this path before, and now it was just about doing it again. Familiar with the process, Tang Rao would soon find the feel and elevate.

To strengthen himself, it wasn't impossible. Tang Rao recalled the book Granny Hua gave him, and when he was learning about poison making, he seemed to have come across how to craft spiritual liquid.

Though also a poison, this spiritual liquid could counteract poison and achieve the effect of enhancing strength.

Of course, poison was still poison. Using poison liquid to enhance strength was something Tang Rao came up with. Whether it could succeed, the book didn't mention, and Tang Rao had no way to seek out Granny Hua. If Granny Hua knew her disciple was a lower divine coming phase wastrel, she would be enormously disappointed in Tang Rao.

In that future, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to visit the Southern City.

Tang Rao couldn't care that much, he found the formula for the spiritual liquid in the book, looked at the ingredients, analyzed their composition, and felt it was feasible, then quickly followed the steps described and crafted the basic version of the spiritual liquid.

A pitch-black spiritual liquid appeared in Tang Rao's palm, flowing from his palm into the white jade bottle, all within less than an hour.

Using spiritual liquid for a bath, using poison for a bath, was something Tang Rao never thought of before. Previously, he would have cursed himself as a madman. Faced with the issue, he realized one must go mad to succeed.

Though reluctant, Tang Rao still poured the pitch-black spiritual liquid into a wooden barrel, adding hot water.

The water in the barrel quickly turned pitch black. Though he found it repulsive, Tang Rao shut his eyes and jumped right in.

Entering the barrel, operating the spiritual energy, it shuttled across his body but refused to gather together.

"Kid, you're truly bold to try this method."

Within Tang Rao's body, an ancient voice emerged, scattering the originally hard-to-gather immortal energy. Restoring it became difficult.

"Old man, if you didn't appear, I would have almost forgotten you."

Tang Rao almost forgot the powerful soul within him. When he first got the powerful soul with the accelerator, he felt these things were frivolous, so he set the powerful soul aside. Over time, Tang Rao completely forgot it.

"Forgetting me is to your loss. Do you think your silly self can achieve something big? You narrowly escaped disaster, you know?"

What, narrowly escaped disaster?

How come Tang Rao never felt he had the potential for causing disaster?

"What do you mean by that? Why can't I understand?"

The implication was that using spiritual liquid for bathing would enhance strength temporarily, but more likely, it would block meridians.

Meridian blockage, how severe the consequences were, Tang Rao likely could imagine without being told.

"Your spiritual liquid is still missing something; if you continue bathing in it, consider the severe consequences yourself."

"Missing what exactly?"

Coming out, Tang Rao was all black, looking like someone from Fengzhou. Being told by the powerful soul, Tang Rao lost all courage to continue bathing.

"Missing Iris Seeds."

Iris Seeds?

Hahahahaha.

Tang Rao already had them. Had the powerful soul said earlier, Tang Rao would have taken them out much sooner.

"I have Iris Seeds, you should have said earlier."

Speaking, Tang Rao took out the iris seeds, showing them to the powerful soul.

"And then? How should I use these iris seeds? You should at least tell me that?"

Having the items without knowing their use, others would laugh.

"Put the iris seeds in the barrel and let it sit for a quarter-hour before going in."

Tang Rao did as the powerful soul directed, placing the iris seeds inside, watching the water change color.

Entering again, Tang Rao only felt like he had walked into paradise.

It was so comfortable; his meridians were suddenly unblocked, with the material from the water entering his body through the pores, swirling through his body.

"Feel it well; this sensation is so rare. After bathing, you can move from the lower divine coming phase to the middle phase."

The idea of moving from the lower phase to the middle phase, just by bathing?

After bathing, as the powerful soul predicted, he indeed moved from the lower divine coming phase to the middle phase.

"Really? I merely unblocked my meridians, it shouldn't count as using substances to enhance strength, right?"

Tang Rao was uncertain, differentiating between using elixirs and external items for strength enhancement, a fundamental distinction.

Even so, Tang Rao still felt a bit concerned.

"This doesn't matter; using external items to enhance strength is very normal. Practically everyone encounters this, as long as you don't take elixir pills, nothing will go wrong."

Hearing this from the powerful soul, Tang Rao was relieved.

After the bath, he took a quick walk but stayed within the courtyard; he didn't want anyone to see him. He still didn't want his embarrassing self to be exposed to the world.

After taking a walk, Tang Rao returned, took out a mat, and sat on it, focusing on cultivating the Dragon Control Technique.

With strength rising to the middle lower phase, the Heart Method Mantras operated much faster than before.

The exquisite part of the Dragon Control Technique was its speed; the speed of a dragon, the dragon's might, everyone knew how powerful that was. The Dragon Control Technique was meant to suppress dragons and, on that premise alone, it had already outperformed other Heart Method Mantras.

After operating for ten cycles, Tang Rao finally withdrew.

"Middle divine advancing phase, it's possible."

Advancing two realms in one day was unthinkable for others; Tang Rao achieved it, exceeding the normal level by many times.

"Possible? It's ridiculously fast; if everyone were like you, the Divine Realm would already be in chaos, wouldn't it?"

Though the Divinity Realm falling into chaos might be exaggerated, being stronger than others was undoubtedly true.

Thus, Tang Rao comforted himself, spending days in a small room cultivating. Not just cultivating, he studied martial arts during spare time, this back and forth, time flew quicker than Tang Rao could imagine.

"Finally liberated!"

Returning to the middle divine middle phase, this feeling of returning was incredibly satisfying.

Pushing open the door, Tang Rao inhaled some fresh air, exerting himself a bit.

In merely a month, advancing from the lower divine coming phase to the middle divine middle phase, such an achievement would be enough to shake the entire Divine Realm.

"What does this liberation mean? Now that you're in the middle divine middle phase, how advanced are your martial arts?"

The one approaching was the Supreme Power, who arrived when Tang Rao stepped out.

During those days, the Supreme Power had been guarding Tang Rao outside, only relieved when Tang Rao came out.

"My martial arts aren't as satisfactory as my strength. That cluster of fire, I don't know what's wrong, it just won't burn brighter, I'm truly helpless."
