Chapter 2249 - 1743: Spirit Revitalizing Pill

First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

"Hurry, hurry..."

With Qin Fang shouting like that, Charlie and the others finally reacted. They immediately sent two people rushing into that Dark Chamber, while the rest stayed outside, ready at any time to support and rescue Qin Fang.

Dang~~~

Right at this moment, the Bronze Warrior once again swung the Ghost Head Greatsword and charged at Qin Fang's side… Qin Fang had no choice but to grip the spear in his hands with both hands and forcibly block that Ghost Head Greatsword. Both his arms went completely numb almost instantly.

And this was even with Qin Fang pouring his thick Grandmaster-level Expert True Qi into that spear, barely managing to hold it off… but it was only just barely. The Bronze Warrior's Ghost Head Greatsword was still pressing down toward Qin Fang bit by bit.

Watching this, Qin Fang was about to be unable to hold on… At this moment, his True Qi consumption was also extremely fast, yet all he could do was clench his teeth and desperately endure. The two people who had rushed into the Dark Chamber with Charlie still hadn't come out yet!

Once he couldn't hold on over here, not only would he be in danger himself, even the two who entered the Dark Chamber would have only one road left—death…

"Captain, hurry, hurry… Young Master Qin can't last much longer!"

Tony was also shouting hoarsely from outside, the gun in his hands aimed at the Bronze Warrior… Unfortunately, the Zi Dan's power simply could not damage the Bronze Warrior's body; at most it was just scratching an itch.

"They're out, they're out..."

Fortunately, at this time Charlie rushed out of the Dark Chamber clutching a Jade Vial, though both his hands were almost completely frozen stiff…

"Retreat~~"

Seeing Charlie come out, Qin Fang finally let out a slight sigh of relief and immediately gave the order.

At the same time, the Bronze Warrior's Ghost Head Greatsword pressed even closer, directly forcing the spear down against Qin Fang's chest. The icy-cold blade even sliced open the clothes on Qin Fang's chest… Things were really extremely critical now. If they were any slower, Qin Fang really wouldn't be able to hold on.

As he spoke, Qin Fang's figure shifted slightly. He directly abandoned the spear in his hands and dodged to the side. The Ghost Head Greatsword traced out a sharp arc of blade light and—with a crack—gouged a deep fissure into the floor…

"What a vicious blade aura…"

Taking advantage of the moment when the Bronze Warrior's strike missed, Qin Fang immediately fled into the distance… Charlie and the others had already pulled back ahead of him, so they wouldn't hold him up. In the blink of an eye, they had vanished without a trace.

"Hoo~~~"

"That was close!"

Only after they finally confirmed that the Bronze Warrior wasn't chasing them did everyone stop, plopping down on the ground and gulping in big mouthfuls of air, Qin Fang included… Trading blows with that Bronze Warrior just now had really made him suffer a lot. Even after quite a while, both his arms were still numb, with almost no sensation at all!

"Charlie, hurry up and put it down. If you keep holding it, you're going to freeze to death…"

Once Qin Fang had taken a few breaths and steadied his breathing a bit, he finally noticed Charlie's condition. The man looked as if he was covered in a layer of frost, utterly miserable, and the culprit was that little Jade Vial in his hand.

"I… can't… move…!"

Charlie squeezed out each word. Only when Tony next to him forcibly pried that little Jade Vial from his stiff fingers did he feel a bit better, though it almost froze Tony badly enough to make him throw the Jade Vial away on the spot.

"This Jade Vial is actually carved from Ten Thousand Year Chill Jade..."

Even Qin Fang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this Jade Vial.

He himself had a large piece of Thousand-Year Cold Jade, which he usually kept inside the Props Box and only took out on very rare occasions to use for cultivation… The cold air this thing released was simply too terrifying. If your strength hadn't reached the Grandmaster-level Tier, you really couldn't withstand its chill.

But he hadn't expected that the material of this little Jade Vial was Ten Thousand Year Chill Jade, which was a cut above Thousand-Year Cold Jade… Charlie's strength wasn't weak, but compared to a Grandmaster-level Expert with deep True Qi reserves, he was still far inferior.

From the moment Charlie got his hands on it until now, not much time had passed—just a few minutes—but it was already enough to freeze him stiff… If it went on any longer, freezing to death wouldn't be impossible! If that really happened, Charlie would probably be the most aggrieved guy to die in the mercenary world.

However, the chill of this Ten Thousand Year Chill Jade posed much less of a threat to Qin Fang, as it was blocked off by his Protective True Qi…

As soon as he pulled out the stopper, a burst of refreshing medicinal fragrance wafted out… This aroma was incredibly alluring, enough to completely intoxicate a person. They would be gulping down the surrounding air, seemingly unwilling to give up even the slightest whiff.

"It really is a Spirit Revitalizing Pill..."

Smelling the medicinal fragrance, joy and excitement also surfaced on Qin Fang's face.

The Spirit Revitalizing Pill was a very precious elixir, one of the treasured pills Advanced Martial Artists dreamed of… It was an elixir that could rapidly restore True Qi and inner strength, just like those instant MP potions in games.

Qin Fang also had a recipe on hand for a True Qi–restoring elixir called the Magic Spirit Pill, but several of the ingredients were extremely rare. Even up to now, Qin Fang still hadn't gathered all the materials, so he'd never been able to refine it.

Of course, even if he did succeed in refining it, Magic Spirit Pills were only a kind of elixir that restored True Qi over time. The overall effect might be better, but the process and duration were a bit longer, not as instant as the Spirit Revitalizing Pill.

You could say that when Qin Fang duelled enemies, the Spirit Revitalizing Pill often became the trump-card Magical Treasure that locked in his victory…

As for the Magic Spirit Pill, it was very suitable for slowly grinding an opponent down… using time to wear the enemy to death was also a good method, just a bit too tormenting!

"Twelve in total. Shame that four of them have already lost their effectiveness…"

Qin Fang poured all the Spirit Revitalizing Pills out of the Jade Vial, gave them a simple inspection, and couldn't help letting out a soft sigh.

This Underground Palace had existed for who knew how many years, and these elixirs had also been around for a very long time. Out of twelve Spirit Revitalizing Pills, actually one third had already expired; it really made one feel a bit regretful.

"This time, everyone contributed… You few can't really use these Spirit Revitalizing Pills, so I'll just keep them myself! But, my own type of elixir can save your life at a critical moment. Each of you take one…"

The Spirit Revitalizing Pill was a treasure for Advanced Martial Artists, but for Charlie and these foreigners, it was basically useless. Leaving it in their hands would be a waste, so Qin Fang of course took it for himself without hesitation.

However, Qin Fang couldn't just embezzle every treasure for himself. Even though these people had already been subdued by him, he still needed to use both the stick and the carrot… He immediately took out several Blood Replenishing Pills and handed one to each of them.

Compared to the useless Spirit Revitalizing Pills, the Blood Replenishing Pills were way more useful for them… This was life-saving, life-hanging Spiritual Medicine! If they hadn't performed so well just now and helped Qin Fang acquire such a big prize, Qin Fang really might not have been willing to part with any.

Qin Fang ate Blood Replenishing Pills like candy, but that didn't mean he was at the point where he could casually toss them out as gifts… You had to know, besides giving some to his women as backup, he'd given them to absolutely no one else.

Elixirs like this were rare treasures in the Martial World and the most captivating things of all… If word slipped out by accident, it would definitely bring a fatal disaster down on his head.

"Young Master Qin, then we won't be polite…"

After learning the use of the Spirit Revitalizing Pill, Charlie and the others were a bit disappointed. Seeing Qin Fang put them away, they didn't feel anything was wrong—after all, their little lives were still pinched in Qin Fang's hand.

Even their lives belonged to Qin Fang, so a tiny bit of spoils naturally belonged to Qin Fang as well… Even if they had some thoughts in their hearts, reality had already smothered them.

But to their surprise, although Qin Fang swallowed the Spirit Revitalizing Pills and the Jade Vial made from Ten Thousand Year Chill Jade that could freeze a man to death, he immediately took out a few elixirs as dividends and gave them out…

They hadn't yet tested the effect of the Blood Replenishing Pills, but based on their understanding of and trust in Qin Fang, they mostly believed his words. They all put away their Blood Replenishing Pills and carefully hid them!

"Young Master Qin, what do we do next?"

The few of them sat there resting. There were still other treasures on this Third Floor of the Underground Palace, but the Bronze Warrior guardian was just too terrifying. Among them only Qin Fang could barely hold out for a short while… Right now both of Qin Fang's arms were numb; at the very least, they had to wait until he recovered some strength before continuing.

"Wait a bit first…"

Qin Fang weakly waved his hands. He had already regained some sensation, but couldn't yet fully exert his strength.

"Oh right, Young Master Qin, I'm afraid they'll soon figure out a way to crack it, won't they?"

Since they couldn't move for now, the group just sat there chatting idly. Charlie suddenly thought of the people outside and couldn't help reminding him… It had been some time since they left the Second Floor of the Underground Palace; maybe Gagarin had already tested out the correct route for getting through.

"Crack it? They wish…"

Qin Fang just let out a cold laugh, his face full of disdain.

"Young Master Qin, you left a backhand?"

Charlie and the others froze and all asked with great anticipation. In their impression, Qin Fang had already been standing at the door of the Third Floor of the Underground Palace and didn't seem to have any chance to make a move, which was why they'd found it strange.

"When I left, I made a few changes to the last two stages…"

Qin Fang didn't hide it from Charlie and the others, replying with a squint-eyed smile.

He didn't go into anything too specific. First, there was no need, and second, Charlie and the others wouldn't understand even if he did… It was a special clever use within a Formation, capable of achieving the effect of the Star Shifting Technique.

In other words, those last two stages looked like nothing had changed, but the actual landing points of the last two steps had already shifted… If someone followed in the exact footprints of Charlie and the other three, they'd be doomed for sure!
