Chapter 493: Chapter 491: Inner Strength Breakthrough
Anything goes?
Why does that sound so awkward?
Qin Hao didn’t want to become evil, but Yu Xiangru’s words did sound a bit strange, and a mischievous smile crept up his face as the wicked thought surfaced in his mind.
Yu Xiangru saw the look on Qin Hao’s face and realized her words just now might have been a bit shameless.
Instantly, her face turned red, and after giving Qin Hao a shy glance, she lowered her head and timidly said, "Qin Hao, I got a bit excited just now, that wasn’t what I meant..."
"What did you mean?"
Qin Hao pretended to be confused as he asked.
"Ah, it’s nothing!"
Yu Xiangru could hear the teasing hidden in Qin Hao’s tone, and her heart filled with shyness, while her body tensed up warmly.
Although she admired Qin Hao, she was still an inexperienced maiden, unable to withstand his teasing.
Looking at Yu Xiangru’s adorable, shy demeanor, Qin Hao felt a million sorrows in his heart.
Ah, girl, your flirting timing is all wrong!
If it were a normal day, I wouldn’t mind letting you experience how delightful the spring breeze is!
But today, I’ve got the Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill to digest!
I’ll let you off for now!
With a feeling of slight loss, Qin Hao’s expression turned serious, and he said, "Xiangru, I just went through a battle, and my body is very tired, so I need to rest for a while, could you let me think quietly..."
"Ah, is your body alright?"
Hearing that Qin Hao’s body was unwell, Yu Xiangru’s face immediately showed concern.
"I’m fine, I’m fine, just need to rest a bit..."
"Alright then, Qin Hao, you rest first. If anything happens, remember to call me, I’m just in the next room..."
Seeing the decisiveness, Yu Xiangru couldn’t cheekily stay anymore, and with a slightly dejected face, said goodbye, leaving with a heart full of regret.
"Finally some peace!"
Once the door closed, Qin Hao immediately took out the gift box containing the Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill, feeling an immense sense of anticipation.
Holding the fragrant Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill, Qin Hao’s eyes sparkled with eager light: "What kind of effect does such a legendary spell pill have? Let me try it now!"
With that, he put the elixir into his mouth while his body tightened, sitting cross-legged.
The elixir was cooler than expected, like ice cream that melts in the mouth, flowing into the stomach instantly.
Thump thump!
Thump thump!
As the elixir entered his body, Qin Hao clearly heard a huge sound in the room, like gongs and drums echoing in his ears.
Qin Hao knew that the sound was his heart pounding vigorously, showcasing an unprecedented vitality.
Before he could appreciate the rhythm of his heartbeat, a mysterious agitation filled Qin Hao’s body.
"Here it comes!"
His stomach felt as if it were on fire, as the potency of the Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill finally spread entirely.
At this moment, Qin Hao experienced an internal burning sensation.
Heat flowed from his stomach, akin to unruly lava, rushing towards every part of his body.
Wherever the heat stream went, waves of intense pain followed, making him constantly experience internal spasms.
Despite the unbearable pain, Qin Hao held a straight face, showing no sign of suffering except for the sweat on his forehead.
"What a domineering effect, it’s killing me with pain!"
This kind of pain, far more profound than a bullet wound, would render an ordinary person unconscious in less than half a second.
Yet Qin Hao did not succumb to the agony; he maintained a calm smile throughout.
"Come on, let the pain be more intense!"
With a wild roar in his heart, the elixir’s power finally reached Qin Hao’s dantian and started frantically mobilizing the inner strength within.
If his dantian’s inner strength was like a little pit before, now, with the drug entering, it began to expand into a stream.
Aware of the increasing inner strength, Qin Hao felt more excited, gritting his teeth and madly activating his dantian to produce more inner strength.
This action was akin to playing with fire; with each surge in the dantian, Qin Hao would experience pain as excruciating as being pierced.
Yet, despite the pain, Qin Hao wasn’t timid, relentlessly stirring up his dantian.
Eventually, the pain became so profound that his entire body turned numb, his consciousness swaying between clarity and stupor.
After an unknown amount of time, when the pain finally subsided, Qin Hao could no longer maintain his sitting posture and collapsed weakly onto the bed.
"Huff... huff..."
After panting heavily for half an hour, Qin Hao finally gathered a bit of strength, barely lifting himself off the bed, and first noticed a variety of exquisite dishes laid out on the small table beside the bed.
"So hungry!"
Having consumed a lot of energy, Qin Hao’s stomach was already growling. He picked up a bowl and chopsticks, devouring food ravenously.
Finally, after finishing all the food, Qin Hao let out a satisfied burp and glanced casually at the electronic clock on the wall.
The electronic clock showed that two days had already passed!
"Two days just to refine the Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill?"
Qin Hao was startled and shocked, and as he tried to sense his dantian’s inner strength, it took less than a minute for him to realize that his dantian’s inner strength had doubled!
"Twice, my inner strength is now twice as much as before!"
Even prepared for this, Qin Hao was taken aback.
Since reaching the level of a master, breakthroughs in inner strength had always been minimal for him.
Yet, in just two days, he achieved a breakthrough that he hadn’t accomplished in years with just one Nine-Turn Divine Spirit Pill!
If he were to single-handedly attack the Quicksand Organization now, even three Takedas together wouldn’t be a match for him.
"No wonder it’s reputed as an Immortal Pill, but it’s a pity there’s only one!"
As Qin Hao was musing, his phone suddenly chimed, revealing thirty missed calls, with twenty coming from the same number!
"Why is this girl Dong Ling so eager to find me?"
Not daring to delay any further, Qin Hao immediately dialed Yu Dongling’s number.
"Qin Hao, finally reached you!"
Over the phone, Yu Dongling’s voice was full of delight.
Qin Hao didn’t expect the little girl to miss him so much, leading to a bit of embarrassment: "Um, Dong Ling, what’s up? I had some things to deal with in the past two days..."
Yu Dongling replied, "It’s not really a big deal, but could we meet and talk about it?"
Qin Hao responded, "Of course."
The two agreed on a meeting spot, and Qin Hao hung up and got off the bed.
As he prepared to leave the room, Qin Hao noticed a note on the desk, with elegant handwriting, clearly from Yu Xiangru.
"Qin Hao, you’ve been asleep for days, and I didn’t want to disturb you, so I prepared food for you. I’m going to see Xia Han now, please remember to contact me when you wake up, I’m counting on you!"
Reading the message, Qin Hao recalled the flirting scene with Yu Xiangru from two days ago.
"Hmm, this girl seems to miss me, but I should handle Dong Ling’s matter first."
Feeling a tinge of regret, Qin Hao thought to himself, as he casually tucked the note into his pocket and walked out the door.
