Chapter 2: Peerless Potential Pill

Chapter 2: Peerless Potential Pill

A pill, a wooden sword, a calligraphy painting, and a teapot.
Xiao Shi looked at the gains in front of him. After killing four mosquitoes, he obtained these four items. Unfortunately, the number of mosquitoes was limited. There were only four in total. If there were more…
Xiao Shi took a deep breath. He tried his best to calm his excitement.
Among these four items, he focused on the Potential Pill in his hand. He did not know much about medicinal pills. He only knew that medicinal pills were very precious and rare in the Red Tiger Sect. Even the most ordinary medicinal pills often required very high contribution points to exchange for.
"From the introduction of this pill, it's mainly to improve one's aptitude!"
Xiao Shi's eyes lit up. His slow progress in cultivating the Red Tiger Technique was because his aptitude was insufficient.
If he could increase his aptitude, he would definitely be able to cultivate the Red Tiger Technique faster!
What excited him was that the Potential Pill in his hand was a peerless quality Potential Pill!
The color and size of the Potential Pill often determined the quality of the pill. Medicinal pills usually had five grades: ordinary, excellent, rare, perfect, and peerless. The ordinary quality Potential Pills were all light green and were only the size of pellets.
The Potential Pill in his hand was dark green and the size of a pigeon egg. This was a level that even the perfect-grade Potential Pill could not reach! Only the highest quality Peerless Potential Pill would have such a scale.
After any kind of medicinal pill reached peerless quality, its value would increase crazily from its original foundation, causing a commotion!
It made countless people fanatical. Until now, there had never been a peerless quality medicinal pill in the entire Red Tiger Sect.
After understanding this, Xiao Shi could not wait to put this Peerless Potential Pill into his mouth and swallow it.
As the medicinal pill dissolved in his body, a wave of coolness quickly filled his limbs and bones, making him feel as light as a feather. It was as if he had shed his weight, and there was an indescribable comfort.
This feeling lasted for about 30 minutes before his body adapted to it.
As Xiao Shi felt the changes in his body, he tried to perform the first cycle of the Red Tiger Technique. He immediately realized that the circulation speed was more than ten times faster than before!
Previously, it took almost an hour to complete the operation. Now, it only took about five minutes to complete it! Furthermore, the entire process was extremely smooth. There was no obstruction at all.
"Is this the cultivation speed of a genius?!"
Xiao Shi's heart was burning. Even though he knew that improving one's aptitude could increase one's cultivation speed, he did not expect it to be so fast!
In five minutes, he completed the first cycle. Without any hesitation, he immediately started the second cycle. Soon, he completed the second cycle and entered the third cycle. When he completed the third cycle, Xiao Shi realized that he was no longer as tired as before.
He was still full of energy.
He immediately began the fourth cycle.
Previously, he had been unable to succeed and had repeatedly failed at the fourth circulation cycle. Now that Xiao Shi's talent had increased, he did not feel any difficulty at all and succeeded in one go!
Xiao Shi broke through to Martial Entry-Level Four!
"I… succeeded just like that?" Xiao Shi was stunned.
He did not expect it to be so easy!
If not for the fact that he had to go through the fourth circulation multiple times to strengthen his body before breaking through to Martial Entry-Level Five, he even felt that he could attempt the fifth circulation.
This cultivation speed was something he had never experienced before! He truly felt the difference between mortals and geniuses.
"At this speed, it won't be difficult for me to reach Martial Entry-Level Five in the remaining three months! I might even have a chance to break through to Martial Entry-Level Six!" Xiao Shi clenched his fists in excitement.
However, he had a steady personality and felt that even if he reached Martial Entry-Level Six, he would still be in danger.
One had to be at least at Martial Entry-Level Eight to be able to protect themselves after becoming a night patroller. If he could cultivate to the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level, it would be even more stable.
But he also knew that it was impossible for him to cultivate to the ninth stage of the Martial Entry-Level in just three months with just a Potential Pill.
Unless there were more pills!
...
At night.
Xiao Shi lit a candle and sat quietly beside it, waiting for the mosquitoes to come. He waited until late at night.
Only three mosquitoes came.
"I don't usually feel that there are so few mosquitoes." Xiao Shi looked at the mosquito corpse on the ground.
In the past, he always complained that there were too many mosquitoes. Only now did he realize that there were actually only a few of them. He thought that there would be at least ten of them in one night, but there were only three in total.
Xiao Shi looked at the items dropped by the three mosquitoes after they died.
[Name: Bag]
[Type: Storage Item]
[Grade: Mortal]
[Introduction: There is a certain amount of space.]
[Remark: It's best not to use it to store weapons. It will break.]
...
[Name: Hairpin]
[Type: Ornament]
[Grade: Mortal]
[Introduction: Jewelry for fixing and decorating hair.]
[Remark: Men can wear it too~]
...
[Name: Hot Meat Bun]
[Type: Food]
[Grade: Mortal]
[Introduction: Delicious food that can fill your stomach]
[Remarks: After eating one, you still want to eat another.]
He had already eaten the meat bun. It tasted good. Just as the note said, he really wanted to eat a second one.
It was just that he felt a little uncomfortable not dropping the pills.
Xiao Shi gradually realized that although he would drop items after killing the mosquitoes, he would not drop medicinal pills every time. It was very likely that only by killing a hundred mosquitoes or even more could one drop a medicinal pill.
If that was the case, he would need to find a lot of mosquitoes. He did not know how long it would take for the pills to appear if he killed them one by one.
Actually, other than mosquitoes, there were other options. Ants, cockroaches, rats, and so on could all be killed.
However, Xiao Shi knew that it was impossible for a large sect like the Red Tiger Sect to tolerate the existence of such creatures that damaged the sect's image. Not to say that there were none, but they were extremely rare and could not be killed in large numbers.
However, Xiao Shi quickly recalled that there was a forest in the sect.
There was a bird called the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow in this forest.
Of course, Xiao Shi was not interested in the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow. He knew that the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow was an important resource for the sect. The sect valued it very much, so they did not dare to kill it.
He thought that there must be many insects like ants and earthworms in the forest where the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow was raised. At the same time, there was also an insect called the Piebald Worm, which was one of the daily foods of the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Sparrow.
Perhaps he could go there and take a look.
