Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Seven Hundred and Twenty-Eight

"My elixir pills and herbs have different effects. The first time you take them, the effects are the best. You'll know once you try," Long Xiaoshan said.

Seeing Long Xiaoshan insist, Zhao Xiaoqiao silently took the elixir pills and said, "Alright."

She believed Long Xiaoshan would not harm her.

Even if there was no effect in the end, it wouldn't be harmful.

So she took them, sat down cross-legged, and swallowed the two pills.

As soon as the two Lesser Qi Nurturing Pills entered her stomach, the immense medicinal power spread out, moving through her meridians like a branding iron. Zhao Xiaoqiao's complexion flushed; the medicinal power was stronger than the nearly two-hundred-year-old medicine she had consumed half a month ago.

Long Xiaoshan quickly placed his hand on Zhao Xiaoqiao's back.

A surge of True Qi flowed in, helping Zhao Xiaoqiao to dissipate the medicinal power to the greatest extent.

Following the martial arts mental cultivation methods she practiced, Zhao Xiaoqiao circulated her Inner Strength, continuously absorbing the medicinal power.

Long Xiaoshan's True Qi constantly followed the route of Zhao Xiaoqiao's Inner Strength, which was completely revealed within his Divine Soul under the onslaught of medicinal power.

Zhao Xiaoqiao's Inner Strength grew stronger and stronger.

From the Mid Xuan-Level, her Inner Strength continually improved until it reached the peak of the Mid Xuan-Level.

The effects of taking a Lesser Qi Nurturing Pill for the first time were the best.

Below the Huang Level, it almost certainly ensured an advancement of one level.

For Xuan Level, it was not guaranteed.

Moreover, since Zhao Xiaoqiao was at Mid Xuan-Level, Long Xiaoshan had her take two, and as she had just made a breakthrough to Mid Xuan-Level not long ago, it was even more difficult to break through, reaching the peak of Mid Xuan-Level.

Although there was still some medicinal power left, it got stuck at the threshold.

Sweat dripped down Zhao Xiaoqiao's forehead as a white mist enveloped the top of her head.

She also knew she was at the moment of attempting the breakthrough.

So she made a strenuous effort to break through the constraints of the Xuan-level Late Stage.

Time and time again she tried to break through, but to no avail. Zhao Xiaoqiao felt helpless and thought about giving up, knowing that cases of consecutive breakthroughs within half a month in the Martial Dao World were almost nonexistent. She was indulging in wishful thinking.

If it were so easy, Xuan Level Experts would be a dime a dozen.

Suddenly, a gentle, abundant force surged forward.

"Hold your breath, focus, and strike with all your might!"

A voice resounded directly in her mind.

The force merged with her Inner Strength and charged at the barrier of Xuan-level Late Stage. Zhao Xiaoqiao felt the power of the vast and magnificent True Qi, gathered all her Inner Strength, and made a valiant attempt.

The obstructions within her body finally broke through.

A great deal of medicinal power transformed into Inner Strength, flowing through her meridians. Now, with the exception of the most crucial Heaven and Earth Meridians inside her body, all her meridians were unobstructed.

Zhao Xiaoqiao opened her eyes, filled with surprise.

"I've broken through!"

She never imagined she could advance from the Xuan Level Beginner Stage to the Xuan-level Late Stage within half a month.

If the advancement to the Mid Xuan-Level half a month ago was the result of her accumulated efforts, then this time, the breakthrough was entirely a miracle.

This was because she had already used medicinal aids before.

She even thought that advancing to the Xuan-level Late Stage within five years would be quite an achievement.

Who knew she would achieve it within half a month.

Xuan-level Late Stage, ah! Within the entire Xichuan Special Affairs Office, you couldn't find three at this level, and as for someone as young as her, under thirty years of age, she was the first.

She had heard that Lin Bao was also at the Xuan-level Late Stage, but he was already in his mid-thirties.

Like this, Lin Bao was already an elite member of the Dragon Group.

Zhao Xiaoqiao was inexplicably excited.

If there weren't so many people around, she would have loved to hug Long Xiaoshan and kiss him a few times to express her overwhelming joy.

"I've broken through!"

"Haha, I've broken through too!"

Surrounding them were bursts of surprised and joyful voices.

Members of the South Chuan Group, who had been practicing their martial stances, began to stand up one after another.

The aura emanating from their bodies was far stronger than before, their eyes sharp, with both temples bulging high—clearly, Long Xiaoshan's Lesser Qi Nurturing Pills had enabled them all to make a breakthrough.

In the South Chuan Group, only Zhao Xiaoqiao was at the Xuan Level.

The rest of the members were at the Huang Level, and for them, the probability of breaking through with the help of Lesser Qi Nurturing Pills was nearly one hundred percent, even more effective than Hundred-Year-Old Medicine.

Thus, even the members with the least talent had successfully broken through.

Ao!

At that moment, accompanied by a fierce roar, Xing Ye rose to his feet. The sound of cracking bones filled the air as a yellow light flowed across his body, his muscles bulging incessantly. Xing Ye's build was already exaggerated—standing at two meters tall, he was comparable to those strapping NBA players.

Now, with his muscles swollen, his frame looked even more formidable.

His height had increased by at least another ten centimeters.

The explosive muscular blocks made his body resemble a true barbarian.

Xing Ye got up, pounded his chest forcefully, and bellowed, "I've finally broken through to the Xuan Level!"

Long Xiaoshan's eyes narrowed.

Xing Ye's cultivation technique was clearly special.

Similar to physical strengthening arts, so his breakthrough was also different from ordinary people.

Xing Ye could already fight toe-to-toe with someone at the Beginner Stage of the Xuan Level before.

Now, after his breakthrough, with his formidable physique, he could probably go head-to-head with those at the Mid Xuan-Level.

Seeing her teammates breaking through one by one, Zhao Xiaoqiao was even more shocked than when she had broken through herself.

What kind of Divine Medicine was this?

It had allowed every single team member to break through.

Heavens!

This was too miraculous!

Cultivating in the ways of martial dao was incredibly difficult. Without exceptional talent, many spend their entire lives just wandering through the Huang Level.

It is certain that not all members of the Special Action Division were geniuses.

Moreover, given that the South Chuan Group ranked last in the annual competitions, any real talent would be snatched up first by other groups, leaving South Chuan with few resources—a vicious cycle resulting in the "trash" of the Xichuan Special Affairs Office remaining in South Chuan.

They were inferior to the other groups in strength, talent, and resources.

Most members hovered at the Early Huang Stage.

The group had only her at the Xuan Level.

And now, in just two days, Long Xiaoshan had managed to advance everyone by one level. Don't underestimate this one level—it was equivalent to several years of hard cultivation, and for those with poorer talent, even ten to twenty years.

At present, the weakest in the South Chuan Group were at the Huang Level Middle Stage, with seven or eight at the Late Yellow Stage, and Xing Ye breaking through to the Xuan Level. The overall strength had undergone a metamorphosis and could now vie with the strongest North Chuan Group for the top spot.

Of course, what was even better was that she had also advanced a level with Long Xiaoshan's help.

With her current strength at the Late Stage of the Xuan Level, even if she wasn't as skilled as Lin Bao, she could still rank in the top three within the Xichuan Special Affairs Office.

Zhao Xiaoqiao was now brimming with confidence.

Earlier, although she had been full of zealous fervor for revenge against the North Chuan Group, deep down she didn't really believe it could happen. After all, reality can be harsh, and the power of the North Chuan Group was formidable, having been the strongest squad in the Xichuan Special Affairs Office for ten consecutive years.

Not to mention the presence of Lin Bao, who came from the Dragon Group.

Even with Long Xiaoshan on their side, they might not pose a real threat.

She knew Long Xiaoshan's strength well—it was only slightly better than her own from before, about at the Mid Xuan-Level.

Now, there was a real chance to compete on equal footing with the North Chuan Group.

"Everyone go back and solidify your gains today. Tomorrow we'll set out for Tianfu City. The day after is the second round of the competition; this time, we must strive for a turnaround battle and defeat the North Chuan Group!" Zhao Xiaoqiao shouted.

"Defeat the North Chuan Group!"

All the members of the South Chuan Group roared, their momentum soaring like a rainbow.
