Chapter 292 - Mi Ziwen's Breakthrough, the Upgrade of the Great Destroyer Sword (1)

A critical moment, is it now? Mi Ziwen wasn’t sure.

His injuries were actually far more serious than the deputy general saw.

Back then, in order to cover the retreat of the army, he had fought a demonic beast with the strength of a second-rank martial artist.

The fact that he didn’t die on the spot was already the result of his best efforts.

He had only broken through to the third rank of the Martial Dao not long ago. Even if he faced a third-rank demonic beast, he would be powerless, let alone a second-rank one.

If not for the fact that the second-rank demonic beast could not be bothered to chase after him, he would probably be a corpse now.

Although they had temporarily escaped the pursuit of the demonic beast army, Mi Ziwen could also feel that his injuries were gradually worsening.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he couldn’t let his injuries be known to the public.

But this was not the way to go. If he didn’t find another army before his injuries erupted, once he fell, this army would become a lone army. The outcome could be imagined.

He had already tried all the healing pills, but they were useless.

Now, he could only place his hopes on the porcelain bottle Zhou Shu had given him.

Second Brother is only a Forging Master.

Mi Ziwen smiled bitterly. He thought that perhaps his second brother cared about him and had bought the pill from somewhere. It was very thoughtful, but the effect of the pill…

Mi Ziwen was rich enough to rival a country. How could he not have any pills that could be bought with money?

No matter what, it’s a gift from Second Brother. After consuming Second Brother’s medicinal pill, I’ll kill a few more demonic beasts before I die.

Mi Ziwen looked weak, but he was still a man who led an army to war. He was ruthless to his bones.

Even if he had to die, the Demon Realm had to pay a sufficient price to kill him!

Without hesitation, Mi Ziwen opened the porcelain bottle and swallowed the pill inside.

“Deputy General!” Mi Ziwen was about to give orders.

Suddenly his voice stopped, and the expression on his face seemed to freeze.

The deputy general cupped his hands and was about to answer when he suddenly noticed Mi Ziwen’s abnormality.

Before he could react, Mi Ziwen’s clothes suddenly expanded without any wind. The spiritual qi of heaven and earth surged into his body like the wind.

A visible spiritual energy vortex formed above Mi Ziwen’s head.

The deputy general’s mouth fell open. Did the general break through?

Mi Ziwen was stunned. He had no idea what was happening.

The spiritual qi of heaven and earth automatically surged into his body at a speed far faster than his usual cultivation.

Moreover, he could feel that the bottleneck between the third rank and the second rank had silently disappeared.

His own cultivation had actually broken through to the second rank of the Martial Dao without him noticing!

The sound of silkworms biting into mulberry leaves came from his body. Mi Ziwen felt that his body was constantly metabolizing.

Under the transformation, the power of a second-rank martial artist that had been entrenched in his body for many days was forcefully squeezed out of his body.

His injuries were recovering!

A storm was raging in Mi Ziwen’s mind.

With his injuries, he felt that his life was in danger. He was mentally prepared that he might not be able to keep his cultivation like his teacher.

But now…

The second rank of the Martial Dao!

Mi Ziwen had just broken through to the third rank not long ago. There was still a long way to go from the third rank to the second rank.

Mi Ziwen was not even confident that he could break through to the second rank in this lifetime.

What’s going on? Mi Ziwen thought.

He thought of how mysterious Zhou Shu had been when he handed him the pill.

Although he still had some doubts, he was now certain that the changes in his body were the effect of the pill.

He thought again of Meng Bai’s changes.

Meng Bai’s injuries had recovered, and he had broken through. The official explanation was that he had encountered a divine doctor in Great Qin and had been cured.

Meng Bai even said the same to Mi Ziwen.

Only now did Mi Ziwen realize that his teacher might have taken this pill back then.

Defying all conditions and directly breaking through one rank… Mi Ziwen thought.

A breakthrough will bring about changes in the body. Most injuries can naturally be healed without medicine.

It was the same for Teacher, as well as Her Highness. At the time, she was seriously injured, yet she broke through to the second rank. There’s also Sun Gongping from the Marquis Weiyuan residence…

Mi Ziwen was an intelligent man. In an instant, he had thought of several people.

He had not thought about it carefully before. Now that he thought about it, they must have taken this pill too.

Mi Ziwen couldn’t help but gasp.

There were many pills in this world that could increase cultivation, but most of them had side effects.

And such pills were usually ineffective for Grandmasters.

After all, from the third rank to the second rank, it was no longer just the accumulation of spiritual essence.

But the pill Zhou Shu had given him allowed him to break through to the second rank. Moreover, this pill could have even allowed him to directly advance to the first rank!

Mi Ziwen could feel that the medicinal power of this pill didn’t hurt him at all. It might not have the side effects of those cultivation-enhancing pills!

Thinking of this, Mi Ziwen was even more shocked.

Once others knew about this kind of pill, the consequences would be unimaginable!

He didn’t blame Meng Bai for not telling him the truth. In his place, he would never have told anyone about such a thing.
