The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1453 - 746: Terrifying Technology (2)

Qing Shui found it unimaginable, what kind of pill could forcibly elevate a person’s cultivation level to a realm that might not be achieved even after 10 years, 20 years, or a lifetime of cultivation!

Alchemy is terrifying... it could even produce a pill that defies the natural order, seemingly claiming to oppose Heaven!

"This pill is called the ’Crippling Divine Pill’!" Qing Yi’s gaze was full of traces, as if there was much on her mind, but she was unsure how to convey this to Qing Shui.

"Mother, why is such a miraculous pill called ’Crippling Divine Pill’? The name suggests it’s trash rather than a divine medicine." Qing Shui asked curiously.

"Just based on this pill’s ability to increase cultivation levels across an entire realm, its rank can already be classified as Holy-level concoction of spiritual pills. However, before deciding to ingest this pill, one must indeed weigh all paths carefully, as the side effects caused by it are irreversible, and the consequences are too horrifying!" Qing Yi sighed, sadness and helplessness evident on her face.

"Side effects?" Though Qing Shui appeared young, he understood the meaning behind certain beneficial implications and that the worse the side effects, the better the benefit. After all, he had two lifetimes of experience. Qing Shui vaguely sensed that this pill was too good to be true, yet he couldn’t quite identify the possible side effects.

"Yes, the prerequisite for ingesting this pill is that the Middle Cultivator must have reached 10th level Martial Arts Warrior, and the Middle Cultivator’s age must not exceed 30 years. Depending on an individual’s potential and talent, the Foot God Pill will at least forcibly elevate their cultivation to 10th level Military Commander realm. For stronger individuals, they might even directly break through various levels of the Military Commander realm! However, there’s a limitation. Those who take this pill will forever be unable to break through the Postnatal Realm. The highest level they could achieve is the 9th level Military Commander realm. Those who use this pill are forever doomed to no breakthroughs in cultivation, forever trapped in the Postnatal stage.

After hearing Qing Yi’s explanation, Qing Shui felt relieved in his heart. If such a powerful pill didn’t have side effects, it would be tragic. Rampant cultivators would devastate the land freely like clouds. Fortunately, the future consequences of taking this pill limited many Middle Cultivators from doing so, while also restricting those who took the pill to being trapped at level 9 Military Commander.

Before the age of 30, becoming a level 10 Martial Arts Warrior, Middle Cultivators who can meet this condition wouldn’t choose to use this forbidden method. The Foot God Pill not only is expensive, but through ingesting it, has entirely reached the Innate Realm. Most cultivators wouldn’t choose this method to increase strength, as that would ruin their future cultivation paths.

Looking at Qing Shui, Qing Yi was indeed surprised. Regardless, she continued:

"Reaching the Innate Realm is the dream of all humanity, but how many can achieve it? The 0.1% chance (not even), the 0.01% hope is the only source of motivation that stops most cultivators from ingesting the Crippling Divine Pill. Even if they wanted to digest it, the ingredients needed to concoct the shrinkage medicine are extremely rare, making it expensive to manufacture. Even with money, there’s no guarantee someone can buy it."

"Mom, do you mean our clan members consumed this Crippling Divine Pill, right?" Qing Shui thought about the question he asked earlier, why there were no Military Generals in the Qing Clan.

"Besides your second uncle and your grandpa, the rest of the second generation, including myself, consumed the Crippling Divine Pill." Qing Yi murmured softly, traces of helplessness and reluctance in her voice.

"Does this mean the rest of the second generation will never have a chance to break into the Innate World?" Qing Shui asked frantically, his voice carrying some sympathy and distress.

Qing Yi sang: "Qing Shui, go back in time, the Qing Clan had nothing. Your grandfather ventured here to take root, then our Qing Family slowly established their foundation. After 20 years of hard work, it could be considered a relatively small clan. At that time, only your second uncle’s potential was above average. Your second uncle had already ascended to the second grade of Martial Arts at a young age, while the rest of us were stuck entirely at the peak of Martial Arts Warrior, completely unable to break through to the second grade!"

Qing Shui noticed Qing Yi slowed her pace and guessed there were still many stories behind this, so he remained silent, inclined his head, and continued to listen.

"Before this, we were suppressed by the clans in Baili City. But after your grandfather broke through to the peak of the Postnatal realm, the Four Major Clans of Baili City actually conspired to cripple your grandfather! They feared that the Qing Family would somehow adversely impact their status in Baili City."

"Luck was on our side, as your grandfather discovered their plot in advance and took out all his precious spiritual medicine. He hoped that the Qing Family would have the potential to reach the Innate World, so he didn’t allow your second uncle to take the medicine. However, even though your grandfather’s cultivation level reached the peak of the Postnatal Peak, he was just one person, unable to contend with the combined efforts of Baili City’s Four Major Clans."

"Except for your second uncle, we had no choice; the rest of us in the second generation all consumed the Divine Foot God Pill, breaking into the realm of Military Commander. Upon realizing everything we did, the members of the Four Major Clans retreated without attacking, but it was too late, the damage was done. In the second generation, apart from your second uncle, none of us have any hope left for cultivating to the Innate Realm! So, can you see how important the third generation is to our Qing Family? We absolutely would never allow any of you to consume that Crippling Divine Pill."

"No wonder it’s called the Foot God Pill, its beneficial traits can be classified as mysterious, almost divine, yet at the same time, it’s nothing but a trash pill! Especially among the major clans, clan leaders would never want their descendants to consume such a drug, cutting off their path to the Innate Realm. Furthermore, those who forcibly break into the Military Martial Commander realm by taking the pill are absolutely no match for those who reach the same level through cultivation from scratch. The reason behind this is, compared to efforts in making breakthroughs, those taking shortcuts will never have the chance to experience moments of enlightenment and hone their Dao Heart."

"Therefore, the main users of this pill will be Middle Cultivators with limited potential, as they already know they’ll never be able to achieve the Innate Realm in their lifetime, so they wouldn’t mind sacrificing all their assets in exchange for a pill."

The ultimate complaint of the poor is, what they need to work so hard for is taken for granted by those born with it. Just like in cultivation, those who spend their heart on it will find themselves begrudgingly inferior to a wealthy young master possessing a single master Foot God Pill.

"In the Nine Continent World, with a population of over ten million, how many can successfully break into the Innate Realm? This is why, even though the ’Foot God Pill’ is a trash pill, it’s still fiercely hoarded by major clans. That year, due to some accidental events, your grandfather managed to obtain 7 pieces of the Crippling Foot God Pill. We used four, and now only three remain. Therefore, the remaining three Crippling Divine Pills can be considered the treasures of our Qing Clan."

"Mother, if the second generation members hadn’t consumed the pills in the past, would you have had the chance to enter the Innate Realm now?" Qing Shui would feel disappointment as Qing Yi talked.

Seeing his expression, Qing Yi understood what Qing Shui was thinking.

"Silly child, how can breaking into the Innate Realm be so easy? Breaking into the Innate Realm depends on personal Karma and fate. Innate means gaining insight into the path of Heaven. Without sudden insights, without entering that special state of enlightenment, one can never break into the Innate realm! Your grandfather spent 60 years! On the entire borderline of the Innate Realm for a full 60 years, he still couldn’t make that step and break through!"

"Gaining insight, entering the path of Heaven?" Qing Shui’s thoughts whirled in his mind upon hearing this news.
