Chapter 841 - 15.60
Han Shun read the name inscribed on the marbles, "Javier Di Arlingdon, and uh... Sakuma Hoshino."
"Yes, those are the sphere of a powerful Sun King called Javier and a genius scholar called Sakuma. Those two are strong in their own field, and their traits would definitely help you cultivate faster to reach your golden core," The man said. "You should swallow them both if you want to progress quicker."
"Why do I have to swallow two?" Han Shun asked suspiciously. "What will happen if I only swallow one?"
"Then you will take a while until you reach your golden core," the man in a black-golden robe answered. "One marble there is enough to cut your cultivation time by 8 years. So swallowing two would cut 16 years of the needed time for you to reach your golden core."
"Then, how come I can’t eat 3?" Han Shun asked again. "I will hit my golden core right now if I eat 3!"
"Eating more than 2 is dangerous for your qi. It will disturb the flow, and your blood vessels will explode. This is the best you can do, so you will reach your golden core in 4 years, right when you are 18 years old," the mysterious man explained.
Han Shun still didn’t trust this man. There was no evidence that all he was saying was factual, but the marbles did help him to cultivate faster.
So he had to take the chance. Any risk was negligible when facing the risk of Bai Gege leaving him.
He grabbed the two marbles and swallowed both like swallowing drugs. He closed his eyes, and he could feel his body was melting from inside. He was numb all over before feeling a sharp pain that attacked every inch of his skin.
"ARRRGHH! IT’S PAINFUL!!" Han Shun screamed, but the man in the black-golden robe was nonchalant.
He waited until Han Shun calmed down and summoned a portal behind Han Shun.
