My Celestial Ascension - Chapter 471: Burning Heavens Fist
[ Affinity Awakening Pill] [Tier 8] [Purity: 99%]
[Effects: Permanently Awaken Affinity for elements]
[Description: A pill with the ability to awaken elemental affinity without any side effects.]
[Limit: 1]
“These are affinity awakening pills that can awaken a person’s elemental affinity! Moreover, these are Tier 8 pills!” Yuan exclaimed. The shock was clearly visible in his eyes. How could he not be shocked?
This was exactly what he needed the most for his wives. Among them, only Lily and Rose could use elemental powers, thanks to their unique physiques and the nature of their techniques.
Aside from Lily and Rose, no one else could use elemental powers, which was understandable since they hadn’t awakened their elemental affinities yet. Now that he had so many affinity awakening pills, his wives could finally awaken their elemental prowess.
“Affinity awakening pills? Does that mean these pills will help us awaken our elemental powers?” Anna, who was close to him, immediately asked with an excited look on her face. She had been dreaming of using the power of elements.
Lily suddenly looked at Yuan and asked with a confused expression, “But Rose and I can use our elements perfectly. Aren’t the pills quite useless for us?”
“Well, from what I understand, you and Rose haven’t actually awakened your elemental prowess yet,” Yuan paused for a second before continuing, “What you guys are using is the unique nature of your physiques as well as the nature of your techniques.”
“So, in truth, we are relying on the power of our physiques and the nature of our techniques to help us use elemental powers without actually awakening them…” Rose muttered in a daze, somewhat taken aback by Yuan’s words.
“And these pills can help us truly awaken our elemental prowess, isn’t that right?” Lily looked at Yuan with sparkling eyes, waiting for his response.
“Precisely!” Yuan nodded with a wide grin on his face. He then further explained, “Not only will these pills awaken your elemental affinity, but they will also increase your control over your element to a certain degree.”
“Wow! That’s incredible! Wouldn’t that mean we would become even stronger after awakening our elemental affinity?” Anna asked, her excitement palpable.
Yuan nodded helplessly. “Indeed!”
“Then what about the other batches of pills? What kinds of pills are they?” Grace picked up a different pill bottle from the treasure chest, noting its distinct design compared to the one Yuan was holding.
Yuan quickly grabbed a similar pill bottle to the one Grace had and immediately removed the lid. Instantly, a sweet aroma spread through the chamber, capturing everyone’s attention.
[Elemental Affinity Enhancing Pill] [Tier 7] [Purity: 98%]
[Effects: Permanently increases affinity toward elements, also strengthens the power of elements.]
[Description: A highly rare pill refined by the renowned alchemist—Pill King Alchemist.]
[Limit: 2]
“A pill that can increase our elemental affinity? Amazing! And it’s a Tier 7 pill, only one level lower than the Affinity Awakening pills!” Yuan exclaimed excitedly.
“With the help of these pills, our elemental prowess will be further strengthened, making our elemental abilities far superior to other cultivators. This is truly a wonderful gift!”
Yuan quickly put the pill back into the bottle, replaced the lid, and stored the pill bottles inside his system storage, including the Affinity Awakening pill bottles.
However, he handed each of his wives a bottle of pills, as he planned to use them before leaving the secret chamber. Since he had found the perfect place to use these pills to awaken their elemental prowess without attracting attention, why waste such a great opportunity?
Then he looked at the other batch of pill bottles, which numbered more than fifty, and took out a pill from one of the bottles.
[Body Tempering Pill] [Tier 7] [Purity: 98%]
[Effects: Strengthens the body and increases Qi flow.]
[Description: A pill refined by the renowned alchemist—Pill King Alchemist.]
[Limit: None]
“Great! It’s a body-tempering pill!” Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement. He had read about body tempering in cultivation novels back on Earth, so he knew the benefits of tempering one’s body.
Tempering one’s body not only increases overall strength but also unlocks the full potential of the body. However, it isn’t easy, as it requires intense daily training that puts a lot of strain on the body. It is a repeated process of breaking and recovering the body, with each cycle further strengthening it. However, with the help of body-tempering pills, Yuan wouldn’t need to go through such rigorous training.
The only problem was that Yuan didn’t know how to use the pill. From what he had read in the novels, to temper one’s body, one must take a medicinal bath, which is a very painful experience.
‘This is a pill, so am I supposed to consume it or what?’ Yuan looked at the pill with a confused expression, unsure of what to do.
Just then, he heard a familiar, charming voice inside his head, explaining how to use the pill.
[Host, in order to use the Body-Tempering Pill, you have to dissolve it in hot bathwater. The temperature needs to be very high, almost boiling.] Nora spoke inside his head. Her voice was so sweet that it surprised Yuan for a brief moment.
‘Does this voice really belong to the same Nora I know? It sounded so sweet!’ Yuan pondered, his expression turning confused.
[Host! Are you even listening to my words?] Nora questioned him with an irritated tone, surprising Yuan even further.
It seemed that after the system upgrade, Nora had attained more and more human emotion, even beginning to talk like a human being, which was really surprising.
“Ah, yes, I was listening,” Yuan awkwardly responded to her.
A few moments later, Yuan and his wives approached the second treasure chest. This chest was a bit larger compared to the one that contained the pill bottles.
“Let’s open it quickly!” Xi Meili said excitedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Yuan and his other wives chuckled, and Yuan quickly opened the treasure chest. As soon as they did, they were all surprised by the contents inside.
“So many martial arts techniques… there are more than fifty techniques stored inside the chest!” Julie exclaimed with a shocked expression, seemingly in disbelief.
Emma nodded. “And it seems that most of them are Heaven rank or above Heaven rank martial techniques!”
“And each of them is emitting a really profound aura… all of them are very powerful techniques!” Grace added, unable to contain her excitement upon seeing so many new techniques.
No doubt all of the techniques were incredibly powerful and could shake the entire world with their might. There were so many of them, and from the look of it, the techniques were especially prepared for them.
Yuan then reached into the treasure chest, picked up a random technique, and opened it to see what kind of technique it was.
«Ding! You have learned Burning Heaven Fist!»
«Burning Heaven Fist»
«Rank: Divine»
«Mastery Level: 1»
«Description: Consumes 10,000 Qi and delivers a devastating blow that has the power to burn the Heavens with its intense heat.»
‘Shit! I’ve learned the technique accidentally… Well, since it belongs to us, there is no problem learning it,’ Yuan sighed.
‘Burning Heaven Fist… What a powerful name, it has a nice ring to it!’ Yuan inwardly exclaimed before tossing the technique into his system storage.
“Darling, for now, you keep the techniques with you. Once we get out of the forest or if we have a chance to learn any techniques, we will ask for them,” Anna said, placing a technique in his hand.
“I don’t mind holding them for you guys,” Yuan chuckled and quickly stored all the techniques in his system storage. Instantly, the treasure chest became empty.
After that, they headed for the next and last treasure chest. This chest was much smaller compared to the other two but looked far more luxurious.
“What could be stored inside this chest? Do you have any idea?” Leah asked, looking at the chest with curiosity.
The others were equally curious, especially Xi Meili, whose eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation.
“We’ll only find out after opening the chest.”
Yuan slowly approached the treasure chest and tried to open it, but strangely, it didn’t budge and remained tightly shut.
“Strange, why isn’t this chest opening?” Yuan looked at the chest in confusion. He used all his strength, but the chest wouldn’t open.
Emma looked at Yuan with a puzzled expression and asked, “Yuan, what happened? Why aren’t you opening the chest?”
“I’m trying, but the chest isn’t opening. I don’t know how to unlock it right now,” Yuan replied with a sigh.
Then suddenly, Nora’s voice resounded inside his head. [Host, the chest won’t open unless certain specific conditions are met. There is a special formation placed on the chest, locking it completely, and you won’t be able to unlock it no matter how hard you try.]
[Once you fulfill the specific conditions needed to open the chest, it will open itself. For now, you can only wait for the conditions to be fulfilled.]
“So, I won’t be able to open it now. In that case, I’ll take it with me.” Yuan quickly picked up the treasure chest and tossed it into his system storage before turning to his wives. “We’ve collected everything we can find in the chamber. Let’s get out of here and awaken our elemental affinities outside this chamber.”
Upon hearing this, his wives excitedly nodded and followed him out of the special chamber.
[Host! I suggest you do not consume the Affinity Awakening Pill until you awaken your bloodline!] Nora suddenly spoke, warning him inside his mind.
“Huh? Why is that?” Yuan furrowed his brow upon hearing this and asked, wondering why Nora suggested he not consume the Affinity Awakening Pill.
[Unfortunately, I can’t tell you, Host. That’s classified information, and I do not have permission to reveal it.] Nora quickly responded inside his head.
“I see…” Yuan was disappointed by Nora’s response. It sounded like the clichés from cultivation novels.
“So should my wives also wait to awaken their bloodlines before they use this pill?” he asked.
[No. It only applies to you, Host. Your wives are free to use those pills.] Nora quickly responded.
After arriving at the chamber with the mysterious statue, Yuan had his wives sit in lotus positions before they swallowed their Affinity Awakening Pills.
After consuming the Affinity Awakening Pills, the girls could soon feel changes in their Qi nature. They also felt their bodies heat up as the process of awakening their affinities started, and their hearts began to pound faster.
