Zhang Bin took out the Pill Furnace from his Space Ring and placed it in the kitchen of the presidential suite. Then, he carefully prepared the dicinal ingredients and placed them into the Pill Furnace one by one.
He began to refine Liquefaction Pills.
He had Tutu carefully investigate and discovered that Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue had indeed fallen into the hands of Dawang Casino. They were now being held and chained up in a heavily guarded secret room within the casino. Of course, they had suffered imnsely, and many of their bones had been broken. However, they were tough and refused to divulge Zhang Bin’s background or phone number.
As a result, Dakai Tanikawa still hadn’t managed to get in touch with Zhang Bin. But he wasn’t in a hurry; he firmly believed that Zhang Bin would co to him on his own. After all, it would be easy for Zhang Bin to find out that the casino had captured the two of them.
Zhang Bin didn’t go to rescue them imdiately because Dawang Casino currently had an expert at the Initial Stage of the Golden Core realm stationed there. Besides, acting in broad daylight was not a good idea. Most importantly, his own strength was too weak; he had only cultivated to the Qi Sea Boundary Great Perfection. Whether it was rescuing his friends or figuring out a way to deal with Tanikawa, he had to enhance his own strength.
So, he decided to first refine the Liquefaction Pills and make his move only after breaking through to the Liquid State.
Takehara Junko, Nakata Shizuka, and Noda Sayuri were, of course, watching him anxiously from the room. They hoped Zhang Bin would beco stronger and eliminate the great threat of the casino. The three of them now shared a common enemy.
Zhang Bin refined the elixirs diligently, his face expressing an unprecedented seriousness. Of course, he was also very tense, worried that Tanikawa might suddenly appear and cause his refinent to fail. Bear in mind, this batch of dicinal ingredients was worth ten billion USD. Thus, success was mandatory; failure was not an option.
His luck was good; Tanikawa didn’t appear. Nor did anyone else co to disturb him.
After about an hour, he finally succeeded in refining the elixirs. When he opened the Pill Furnace, a mass of golden paste lay within. A look of joy spread across his face. He took out the paste and filled a special mold with it. When he opened the mold, it had ford a finished elixir.
Exactly nine of them, no more, no less.
In the past, when Zhang Bin made elixirs, he didn’t use a mold; he would simply roll them by hand, so one batch would yield about eighteen elixirs. Of course, he had found this mold among the relics of Daoist Elder Taiqing. At the Hero Auction, all the elixirs were made with identical molds, ensuring they were all the sa size.
Nine Liquefaction Pills represented a trendous fortune. According to the prices at the Hero Auction, they were worth at least forty billion USD. So, this ti, Zhang Bin had truly struck it rich.
However, he intended to consu one himself and had no plans to sell the rest. In the future, Liu Ruoi, Tian Bingbing, and Zhang Lele would also need Liquefaction Pills to break through once they reached the Qi Sea Boundary Great Perfection. Moreover, his other won, such as Liu Ruolan and Xiao Fang, as well as his relatives, might also embark on the path of cultivation and would need Liquefaction Pills. Besides, elixirs held their value and would only beco more precious with each passing year.
"Brother, did you succeed?" Noda Sayuri pulled out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from Zhang Bin’s brow, and asked with concern.
The other two won also looked at Zhang Bin with expectant faces.
"I did. You all wait in the living room and don’t make any sound. I need to cultivate and make a breakthrough," Zhang Bin said softly. He then entered his room, closing and locking the door behind him.
He carefully regulated his breathing for a while, then had Tutu monitor the three won. He found them sitting quietly on the sofa in the living room, looking very well-behaved. He couldn’t help but sigh. The won of the Island Nation really are special; they’re so gentle and obedient.
Then, he focused his mind and, without hesitation, swallowed a Liquefaction Pill.
As soon as the elixir entered his stomach, it rapidly dissolved into a terrifyingly cold stream that nearly froze him into an ice sculpture. He didn’t dare to delay and imdiately circulated the Qingmu Longevity Technique, quickly guiding the cold qi into his Dantian.
The space inside his Dantian was a vast world. This world was desolate, devoid of any life or greenery. There wasn’t even any liquid. It was utterly silent. Even the air, which was ford from True Qi, was so dense that it couldn’t flow.
However, once the cold stream entered, a strange change occurred. The air began to move, turning into a wind that swept through this world. But it still showed no signs of liquefying.
I cultivate the Qingmu Longevity Technique. My Dantian is many tis larger than that of an ordinary cultivator, so it seems this cold stream isn’t enough. Zhang Bin’s heart turned grim. Without any hesitation, he consud another Liquefaction Pill and continued to guide the cold stream into his Dantian.
He consud five Liquefaction Pills in one go before finally seeing a ray of hope.
The massive space within his Dantian beca exceedingly cold. The True Qi turned into a white mist, then condensed into liquid before SPLASHING down from the sky. Therefore, it was as if it had started to rain in the world within his Dantian.
When the first drop of rain landed, Zhang Bin’s entire body shuddered, and a strange aura rose from him. It was as if he had completely rged with this world, becoming one with it.
And he had finally reached the Liquid State!
In less than a year, he had gone from being an ordinary person to an expert of the Initial Liquid Realm. This was nothing short of a great miracle.
He suppressed the joy in his heart and continued to sit cross-legged with his eyes closed, carefully sensing the changes in his Dantian and his body.
Inside his Dantian, it was still raining—a torrential downpour. Magically, as the water hit the ground, it seeped inside as if being devoured. At the sa ti, Zhang Bin’s muscles, bones, and internal organs were also undergoing rapid transformation, becoming tougher and more resilient. Even his mind was undergoing a strange change.
Gradually, Zhang Bin found that even with his eyes closed, he could perceive everything around him with more clarity than if he were using his eyes. This was the Divine Sense that only a Liquid Stage Cultivator could possess. It was essentially a Special Ability. With Divine Sense, one could observe any danger and hidden enemies with a 360-degree, unobstructed view, greatly increasing his safety and combat prowess.
However, Zhang Bin also had a strange feeling, as if a new Special Ability had appeared within him. But he couldn’t yet determine what this ability was.
Finally, the rain in the world within his Dantian stopped, and the ground ceased to absorb the water. As a result, a thin layer of liquid appeared, covering most of the area. It looked like a vast sea. Scattered throughout this sea, many islands of varying heights rose up.
Since most of the True Qi had transford into liquid, the air was no longer as dense. It thinned out, flowing through the sky to form wind. This brought a trace of life to this world.
