"This … if I eat it, I won't explode, right?" Wang Baole grabbed the pill bottle and poured out the two medicinal pills inside. They were violet in color, and didn't emit any medicinal aroma. The only thing that could be seen were complex magical symbols. Although he couldn't understand what they were, based on what Wang Baole knew, he could tell that these medicinal pills were incredibly powerful.
His heart was pounding as he realized that these were medicinal pills from Yuanying Cultivators. As a Core Formation cultivator, he wasn't sure if he could digest them.
After some hesitation, Wang Baole looked down at himself, and his eyes filled with determination. "What's the big deal? It's just a medicinal pill. If Yuanying Cultivators can eat it, then so can I!"
I'm the Son of Providence, and I definitely won't die. Furthermore, I'm inside the Dark Artifact. Most importantly … I'm the slimmest and most handsome man in the Federation. My body size is there for all to see. I'll be fine! With that thought, Wang Baole immediately raised his hand and forcefully pried open the pill.
"It's pretty hard, huh?" Wang Baole's eyes widened. Then, he applied more force, and half of the medicinal pill popped out, which he then popped into his mouth.
As soon as the medicinal pill entered his mouth, a sour and spicy sensation exploded out in Wang Baole's mouth. The sourness … was like a bowl of grapes being eaten in one mouthful. It was as if his mouth had lost all sense of taste, and he felt a surge of energy rushing into his brain. Wang Baole couldn't stop himself from trembling. His facial features twisted, and his eyes went wide.
"I'm finished!!"
However, before Wang Baole could get used to it, the sourness had already disappeared. What replaced it was a spiciness that was much more intense than the Death Pill. The spiciness was like a bomb exploding in his mouth, instantly causing Wang Baole's mind to rumble.
"AHHHHHHH!!" Wang Baole wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound. At that moment, his eyes were filled with fear. He wanted to look for water, but before he could find it, his mind buzzed again. This time, he couldn't even let out a scream. He clutched his neck and jumped up from his cross-legged position, running wildly in all directions.
This process lasted for the time it took half an incense stick to burn, and then Wang Baole fell to the ground with a thump and fainted. Before he fainted, the only thought in his mind was: Why did I have to court death …?
Even though he had fainted, his body was still twitching uncontrollably. It was as if his limbs had been electrocuted. Even though he had fallen to the ground, they would still occasionally rise and fall.
The sight not only shocked the surrounding beasts, but also shocked the three Artifact Spirits. They appeared instantly and surrounded Wang Baole. They stared, dumbfounded, at Wang Baole, who was still convulsing. Then, they looked at each other with strange expressions.
"That … our new master won't die just like that, right?" Murmured the boy, his eyes filled with confusion. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and couldn't possibly have predicted that something like this would happen.
Off to the side, the Imperial Preceptor cleared his throat and looked at the boy approvingly. Then he smacked him on the head.
"Well done!"
The boy was a bit confused, not quite understanding what the Imperial Preceptor meant. However, he quickly realized what was going on, and his face fell as he realized … that Wang Baole had eaten the medicinal pill that he had said would be fine ….
"This … this …." The boy was on the verge of tears. Seeing that the Imperial Preceptor was about to smack him again, his eyes filled with ferocity. He was just about to fight back when the burly spirit automaton spoke up.
"Enough, all of you. This has nothing to do with me, Old Lamp. Master insisted on eating the medicinal pill. Most medicinal pills are processed on the outside, so that when they are swallowed into the body, you won't be able to sense the taste inside …. However, Master's skin is thick, and his body is much heavier than the average person's. He'll be fine!" Almost at the same time that the Ship Spirit spoke up, Wang Baole, who was still twitching on the ground, suddenly erupted with boundless spiritual energy. At first, the spiritual energy flowed out from his stomach like a trickling stream, but then it quickly gathered together like a great river that surged through his body.
After the Ship Spirit finished speaking, the spiritual energy turned into an ocean. As it surged out, the spiritual energy seeped out of Wang Baole's pores, forming a spiritual fog that filled the air.
At the same time, the unconscious Wang Baole was stimulated by the spiritual energy, and he regained consciousness for a moment. Although he was still in a daze, he instinctively began to circulate the Lightning Dao: First Volume. As he did, the sound of thunder rang out from his body, and the spiritual energy seemed to be attracted to Wang Baole's Qi passageways. It flowed rapidly through his Qi passageways until it finally surged into the third seed pod next to the Blue Lotus inside of Wang Baole's body!
After the spiritual energy surged into the Blue Lotus, it was like a great supplement and catalyst to the Blue Lotus that had yet to become a seed pod. It caused the Blue Lotus to rapidly bloom. As it bloomed, large amounts of electric arcs spread out from the Blue Lotus and flowed rapidly through Wang Baole's body.
The entire process lasted for about six hours. As the spiritual energy gradually stopped erupting, Wang Baole's body returned to normal. He slowly opened his eyes, and they were filled with confusion. Intense pain filled his entire body, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
The three Vessel Spirits around him had long since disappeared without a trace before Wang Baole woke up.
As he screamed, Wang Baole struggled to get up. He shuddered as he recalled the scene of him losing consciousness. Without a doubt, it was the sour and spicy feeling that made him feel extremely terrified. He instinctively wanted to give up, but in the next moment, his eyes widened. He could feel that the green lotus in his body, which was once a flower bud, had actually turned into a half-bloomed lotus!
"It worked!!" Wang Baole was pleasantly surprised. He quickly rotated his Cultivation base and waved his hand. Arcs of electricity shot out from his palm, emitting a shocking crackling sound. After sensing the power of the lightning, Wang Baole was able to clearly determine that, without using the power of his Dark Core, his Cultivation base of the Dao of Lightning was one step closer to the great circle of Foundation Establishment. It was now comparable to a Pseudo Core.
And all of this was only for half a medicinal pill!
That made Wang Baole overjoyed. He gritted his teeth, picked up the other half, and swallowed it in one gulp. Then, he kicked his legs, grabbed his neck, and fell to the ground with a scream. As he convulsed and fainted, the three Artifact Spirits appeared again and watched him …
"Godly!"
"Ruthless!"
"Valiant!" The three Vessel Spirits discussed among themselves. Seeing that Wang Baole wasn't going to die, they dispersed before he woke up.
It was in this way that Wang Baole began his self-torture cultivation. It wasn't that he didn't want to consume the entire pill, but rather, he felt that he had to do it step by step. If he used too much force all of a sudden, he might end up killing himself.
Actually, Wang Baole wasn't wrong. If he really did consume the entire pill, he might be able to endure it, but at the same time, he would be left with hidden injuries. Consuming half of the pill would give his body room to absorb the energy. Although it would be painful, there would be no repercussions.
Therefore, after swallowing both pills, the lightning inside Wang Baole's body suddenly erupted. As the lotus flower bloomed completely, and as the lotus seed pod appeared, a Lightning Pill was formed within the lotus seed pod!
A lightning-type Core Formation aura suddenly exploded out from Wang Baole's body, spreading out in all directions. At the same time, his laughter echoed out, filled with excitement.
Wang Baole wasn't sure if anyone else had formed two Cores like him. However, after testing it out, he realized that the two Cores were like transformers. When his spiritual energy flowed into the Lightning Core's lotus, bolts of lightning would appear, and he would be able to explode with lightning-type Core Formation power.
When his spiritual energy flowed into the Dark Core, everything would be reversed, and the aura of the Dark Core would spread out.
Although he still wasn't very familiar with the transformations, as long as he practiced and his body adapted, Wang Baole would be able to freely transform his Core Formation power in the middle of a battle!
At the same time, there was another change that surprised Wang Baole. It was the density of the spiritual energy in his Qi passageways. His Qi passageways and spiritual energy had exploded once when he had broken through to the Dark Core stage. His Qi passageways had expanded, and his spiritual energy had increased tremendously. Now … he had repeated the previous steps, which meant that his Qi passageways had expanded twice, and his spiritual energy had increased twice as well!
This meant that although his combat ability was only at the early-stage Core Formation realm, it was much, much more powerful than his peers of the same level!
After realizing this, Wang Baole was extremely pleased with himself. He put away all his belongings and chose to leave the Dark Artifact. He was in high spirits. Under the admiring gazes of the three Artifact Spirits, he charged out of the barrier and stepped into the underground tunnel beneath the city. Wang Baole patted his stomach proudly, took out his voice transmission ring, and sent a voice transmission to the Martian Colony Governor. However, she didn't pick up, so Wang Baole decided to leave a message.
"Governor, I, Wang Baole, have lived up to your expectations. After a few months of seclusion, I have easily broken through to the … Core Formation realm!"

"I wish everyone an early Lunar New Year. I wish everyone a smooth new year. I wish everyone a smooth new year. I wish everyone a happy family, healthy old people, and eternal love!
"Lastly, I have to apply for leave to return to my hometown for the New Year. I won't be able to update from the 4th to the 8th, and everything will return to normal on the 9th. I hope everyone can understand. There are too many things to do during the Lunar New Year, so I'll take these few days to rest my head."
