[Ding! Victor Stone sends exclusive red envelopes to everyone!]
The chat group, which had been relatively quiet, suddenly came alive at the notification sound.
[Stelle: Huh? Victor, why are you suddenly giving us red envelopes?]
[Belle: Wow! It's a pill!]
[Kurumi Tokisaki: This pill... looks very high-end.]
[Victor: That's right. One is the Enlightenment Pill, which can increase your cultivation speed. The other is the Nine Transformations Golden Pill. After taking it, anyone below the Divine Transformation Realm can break through to the next realm without any bottlenecks!]
[Kiana: W-what? The Enlightenment Pill and the Nine Transformations Golden Pill? You're so generous!]
[Stelle: Well then, what do you say to Victor!]
[Shinobu: We should definitely say thank you.]
[Victor: Compared to a simple thank you, I still prefer substantial rewards, hehehe...]
[Lumine: Got it!]
[Ding! Lumine sent an exclusive red envelope to Victor!]
[Victor: Wow, Lumine caught on so quickly? Let me see what you gave me... Holy crap!]
[Bai Yuekui: What could possibly shock Victor so much?]
[Tsunade: I'm curious too.]
[Jibril: Could it be the unwashed panties you wore when you were 15?]
[Stelle: What? Lumine, you're so perverted?]
[Kikyo: Can that even be given as a gift?]
[Fladi Reina: ...]
It had been a while since Fradi Reina joined the chat group. She often felt out of place with the other girls because she wasn't perverted enough.
[Jibril: Kikyo, you don't understand. Some people just like that kind of thing.]
[Lumine: Although Victor may really like that kind of thing, I'm not that perverted!]
[Stelle: What do you mean? I'm telling you, Victor is not someone who likes that kind of thing.]
[Gu Yuena: What did you give him, Lumine?]
[Lumine: It's nothing, just a photo of me, the Great Compassionate Tree King, and Nahida in sexy swimsuits.]
[Victor: Lumine, you really do understand me! You deserve a reward!]
[Ding! Victor sent an exclusive red envelope to Lumine!]
[Women: ...]
[Lumine: Your humble servant thanks the Emperor! The Emperor is truly magnanimous!]
[Medusa: Victor, Yao Chen has returned. Besides that, he's accompanied by a Dou Zun expert named Feng Xian.]
[Victor: Oh? They're back already? Wait a moment, I'll be right out.]
Victor had already anticipated Feng Xian's arrival. This person was Yao Chen's best friend and brother-in-armsâ€"someone who would do anything for him. In the original timeline, he'd made great efforts to help Yao Chen resurrect.
This time he came with Yao Chen for one purpose only: to express his gratitude.
After putting away the alchemy furnace, Victor left the training room.
When he walked out of Medusa's room and arrived at the main hall, Yao Chen and Feng Xian had already heard the commotion and had been waiting for some time.
Seeing Victor appear, they both quickly bowed. "Yao Chen (Feng Xian) greets Senior."
"Senior, I've prepared what you requested."
Yao Chen handed a storage ring to Victor.
Victor probed it with his spiritual sense and discovered quite a lot of medicinal herbs inside! And most of them were high-grade materials!
It seemed Yao Chen knew exactly what Victor needed most.
"Well done. I'm satisfied."
Should he say it was worthy of being the collection of a first-class force in the Central Plains? Falling Sky Pavilion alone had such a rich collection. Wouldn't the collections of the eight ancient clans, which had even richer legacies than Falling Sky Pavilion, be even more massive?
Thinking of this, a bold idea suddenly emerged in Victor's mind.
"I'll have to visit the Eight Ancient Clans when I have time, hehehe..."
At the same time, the patriarchs of the eight ancient tribes far away in their small worlds felt a sudden chill for no reason.
What's this? Why do they suddenly feel like they're being watched by some terrifying being?
Let's turn our attention back to the protagonist.
At this time, Feng Xian also took out a storage ring. "Junior Feng Xian thanks Senior for resurrecting my brother. As a token of gratitude, please accept this small gift!"
Victor naturally wouldn't refuse a gift given for free.
He casually glanced at the treasures in the ring.
Oh, it's also a bunch of medicinal herbs! And they're all high-grade materials!
Although the quantity wasn't as much as what Yao Chen had given, the variety was extremely rich!
This further strengthened Victor's determination to visit the eight ancient tribes!
But before that, he should refine these herbs into pills first.
After bidding farewell to Yao Chen and Feng Xian, Victor returned to Medusa's training room, ready to continue his seclusion for pill refining.
However, he hadn't expected to find Medusa actually in the training room.
Seeing that she was emitting both spiritual power and Dou Qi simultaneously, it wasn't difficult to guess what she was doing nowâ€"changing her cultivation method.
She was converting the Dou Qi in her body into spiritual power!
This process wasn't pleasant. You could tell by looking at her sweating profusely and frowning face.
After pinching his chin and thinking for a moment, Victor made a decision.
He walked over to Medusa and sat down cross-legged beside her.
Medusa also sensed Victor's presence immediately. Just as she was about to open her eyes, Victor's voice reached her ears.
"Relax your mind. I'll help you cultivate."
After hesitating for a moment, she finally chose to trust Victor.
In an instant, she felt a gentle spiritual power enveloping her, sweeping away the pain in her body.
Medusa's frown gradually relaxed, and an expression of enjoyment appeared on her face.
Time passed quietly.
A week went by in the blink of an eye.
With a surge of spiritual power rising into the sky, Medusa finally completed her transformation!
At this moment, she was no longer a cultivator at the peak of Dou Huang realm, but a cultivator at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment!
In terms of combat power alone, a cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment was much stronger than someone at the peak of Dou Huang.
"Phew."
Victor opened his eyes and exhaled.
This was the first time he'd helped someone with their cultivation transformation. Due to lack of experience, he still wasn't quite used to it.
"Thank you. I..."
Medusa was about to get up, but she found herself completely powerless and collapsed directly into Victor's arms.
"What's wrong with me?" Medusa was confused.
Victor explained, "After you switch to a new cultivation system, you need time to adapt."
Medusa breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
As long as nothing was seriously wrong.
Victor picked up Medusa and placed her on the large bed beside them.
"You should stay here for the next few days and get used to the cultivation system first."
"Mm."
Medusa nodded obediently.
This was the first time Medusa had observed Victor's stunning features at such close range, and even she was momentarily dazed.
When she came to her senses, Victor had already taken out the alchemy furnace and started refining pills.
