“Come in.”

Hearing his senior brother’s call, Wu Qingce took a deep breath and turned around to salute Xia Lingdang and Qu Yangze.

“Senior Brother Wu! I wish you success!” Qu Yangze replied with a loud voice.

Hearing this, Xia Lingdang, who was beside him, quickly imitated him and said, “”1 wish Senior Brother Wu success!”

“Thank you so much!”

Wu Qingce cupped his hands again, turned around, and followed his senior brother into the array room.

“Hiss…”

The moment he entered the array room, Wu Qingce felt a bone-piercing chill. With his current cultivation, he wouldn’t feel anything even if he jumped into an icy lake.

However, the cooldown in the array room was so bone-chilling.

Suppressing his trembling, Wu Qingce’s gaze was instantly drawn to a sky-blue cauldron in the middle of the array room.

The cauldron emitted waves of jade-colored spiritual energy, and there were six lotus lanterns revolving around it.

“Sit cross-legged in the cauldron.”

Just as Wu Qingce was wondering what the six lotus lanterns were, his senior brother’s voice suddenly reached his ears.

“Yes, sir!”

Wu Qingce cupped his hands at his senior brother and took a step forward.

“Hiss!

This time, Wu Qingce couldn’t help but shiver.

“It’s…lt’s too cold!”

When he took another step toward the azure cauldron, the bone-chilling coldness rose again, making him almost afraid to breathe.

But after a brief pause, Wu Qingce took another step forward.

“Boom!”

This time, Wu Qingce activated his mental technique and released a green lightning spiritual energy.

Because at this point, he could no longer rely on the strength of his body to resist the cold. He even felt that if he had not reacted quickly, his feet would have been completely frozen the moment he took that step.

Moreover, Wu Qingce was certain that this bone-chilling aura was coming from the azure cauldron.

“Gulp…” Wu Qingce couldn’t help but swallow.

Just getting close to the cauldron was already so difficult. He could not imagine how terrifying the cold air was the moment he sat in it.

‘This is what Senior Brother said,’ Will you kill me if I don’t want to.”

At this thought, Wu Qingce clenched his fists and took another big step forward.

With this step, he directly arrived in front of the azure cauldron. At the same time, he felt the coldness that could freeze his soul.

Raising his hand, Wu Qingce realized that a layer of frost had already formed on the surface of his skin. This frost had already penetrated his lightning spiritual energy and was beginning to cause damage to his body.

In the next second, Wu Qingce felt his body stiffen. It was obvious that the chill had invaded his body. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝔀𝓮𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝓵.𝒸𝑜𝘮

At this moment, Wu Qingce let out a furious roar. His lightning spiritual energy erupted, and his body became agile again. He jumped into the azure cauldron without hesitation.

Just as Wu Qingce had expected, the intensity of the cold air in the azure cauldron had risen by a level. For a moment, he thought his heart had stopped beating.

At this moment, Wu Qingce knew that he couldn’t resist the cold. He quickly sat down cross-legged while his body was still moving, and started to channel his mental cultivation method.

Jiang Beiran nodded in relief when he saw Wu Qingce sitting cross-legged in the cauldron.

If he couldn’t even pass this stage, he would absolutely not let him consume the Profound Lightning Nine Heavens Pill.

That’s right. After failing twice, Jiang Beiran had finally managed to concoct this Black Grade Top-Rank pill.

This pill was already the limit of what an alchemist could refine with their own strength. Any higher would require the right timing, the right place, and the right people.

Pills of this grade would attract many top sects to fight for them even if they were brought to the Six Nations. Moreover, they would spare no effort to fight for them.

Jiang Beiran had originally planned to give Wu Qingce the pill when he was breaking through to the Mystic Emperor realm. However, the higher the cultivation of a cultivator, the harder it was to change one’s physique. Therefore, after realizing that Wu Qingce’s growth rate was far beyond his expectations, Jiang Beiran decisively decided to give Wu Qingce the pill when he was breaking through to the Mystic King realm.

In fact, when Jiang Beiran had first taken Wu Qingce in as his lackey, he had only needed a lackey to run errands for him. He had not expected him to be of any help in terms of combat strength.

Back then, he could tell that although Wu Qingce was not bad, he was only good. At most, he would be a tyrant in a small sect like the Heart Returning Sect. However, once he met a true genius, his talent would be nothing.

However, Wu Qingce’s eagerness to become stronger and the effort he had put in to achieve it had both shocked and touched Jiang Beiran.

In Jiang Beiran’s original plan, Wu Qingce was just a little brother to be used as a transition. One day, someone more talented would replace him. At that time, Jiang Beiran would keep him in Fengzhou and let him continue to shine here. In the end, it would not be difficult for him to establish a sect in Fengzhou.

However, Wu Qingce had shown extraordinary willpower and ambition to become stronger.

He would rather die than live a mediocre life.

Hence, Jiang Beiran changed his plan. He intended to give Wu Qingce a chance, a chance to become stronger. Could hard work make one strong? Of course he could.

But the upper limit was very low.

There was no such thing as fairness in this world. Bloodline, talent, birth, inheritance, and so on all determined that some people were born stronger than most..
