Dao Equaling the Heavens

Returning to his room, Gu Wen sat cross-legged in meditation, tallying Ao Tang’s little treasury, a total of thirty-one various types of top-grade pills.

There were originally some low-quality pills that came with it, but Ao Tang didn’t care for such inferior products, so he sold them all after refinishing them.

Grabbing a handful of pills, he stuffed them directly into his mouth. The Heavenly Marrow poured down like rain, and the medicinal properties swept through his meridians like a torrent. Fortunately, Gu Wen was no longer at the Second Level of Yuqing Daoji, so consuming pills containing decades’ worth of Heavenly Marrow didn’t overwhelm him.

But unlike directly consuming Spiritual Medicines, these top-grade pills actually slowly propelled the realm of his Daoji.

"No wonder they need to be refined into pills."

Gu Wen thought, and with a single intent, the overwhelming medicinal strength surged toward one of the Five Spirit Forms, the Vermilion Bird, like floodwaters. The Vermilion Bird Spirit Form started to converge towards the yet incomplete Primordial Spirit, while the already positioned Azure Dragon also tugged at the Vermilion Bird.

One percent, two percent, three percent....

Meanwhile, the amount of Heavenly Marrow needed for the Vermilion Bird to merge into the Primordial Spirit continuously decreased.

"If others can speed up their cultivation by taking pills, there’s no reason I can’t. And as my Daoji realm progresses, it will, in turn, affect the Heavenly Marrow, reducing the amount needed for a certain Spirit Form."

Gu Wen thought up to this point and suddenly felt a moment of clarity, almost wishing he could bury his head in the bag.
