Give Master a Heart-nourishing Pill

“You’re ready?” Qin Yuan suspected he had misheard. “Ready for what? Are you saying the resources for building the secret realm are already prepared?”

Qin Ming nodded.

Qin Yuan and Qing Yan gasped.

A secret realm built by oneself was incomparable to one discovered through exploration.

A discovered secret realm, after all, was not self-built. While its resources might be richer, it lacked the possibility of further expansion.

However, a self-built secret realm could not only be continuously expanded but also granted complete ownership, allowing it to be used against enemies.

A secret realm built by one's own people was more than ten times better than a secret realm found in the wild.

“Master, the reason I didn’t heal your dantian immediately upon my return was because I wanted to build the secret realm first. Then, I could use the power of heaven and earth within the secret realm to restore your cultivation,” Qin Ming explained, looking at Qing Yan.

Even if Qing Yan’s shattered dantian was repaired with a Heart-Mending Pill, his cultivation wouldn't instantly recover.

After all, the spiritual energy in his dantian was lost, and it would take time to replenish it.

Given that Qing Yan’s cultivation was at the Martial King realm, this process could take ten years.

However, with the power of heaven and earth within the secret realm, not only could spiritual energy be replenished, but this power could also assist in reshaping the dantian, potentially leading to instantaneous recovery and even an increase in cultivation.

It was killing two birds with one stone.

Qing Yan looked at Qin Ming with burning eyes, his expression agitated: “You’ve refined the Heart-Mending Pill?”

Only those who have lost all their cultivation can truly understand the pain of it.

Ever since his cultivation was crippled, he had been hiding, living under an assumed name, afraid to reveal his true identity.

He lived like a rat in this world, not daring to meet old friends, fearing that someone might try to take his life.

Qin Ming nodded solemnly and handed Qing Yan a jade bottle containing a perfect-grade Heart-Mending Pill.

Qing Yan took it with trembling hands, his expression a mix of complexity and anticipation. He had never imagined that he would have a day when he could recover his cultivation.

He was originally a Pill King and was very knowledgeable about pills that could heal the dantian. All of these pills, regardless of their type, were incredibly difficult to refine.

In this current era, on this continent, it was unknown if anyone could even refine such pills. In fact, obtaining a pill to heal the dantian usually required exploring a secret realm, with only a one-in-ten-thousand chance of success.

He never thought that one day, he would not only obtain a pill to repair his dantian, but also the most exquisite, perfect-grade nine-rank pill. It made him feel as if he were dreaming.

He was afraid of waking up from the dream.

Qin Yuan looked at Qin Ming and Qing Yan in confusion. He didn't understand why Qing Yan was so agitated.

Wasn't Qing Yan Qin Ming's master?

Why would Qing Yan be so excited when Qin Ming handed him a pill? Qing Yan was a Pill King; what kind of pill hadn't he seen?

Qing Yan opened the jade bottle, and an aura full of vitality emanated from it.

Immediately, Qing Yan reacted and hastily sealed the jade bottle, stopping the fragrance.

Qin Yuan was right next to Qing Yan, and in that instant, he smelled the fragrance.

For a moment, he felt completely refreshed, as if he had eaten a thousand-year-old ginseng. He even had an urge to snatch the pill from Qing Yan's hand and consume it himself.

A voice deep within him said that this pill would bring him unparalleled benefits, and consuming it would make his martial path smoother.

He barely managed to suppress the impulse within him.
