Thanks to My Enemy, I Become Immortal Emperor - Chapter 15

Contrary to his expectations, there was no explosion.

In fact,

once everything settled down,

Liu Shunyi lifted the pot lid and found himself speechless as he gazed upon a quietly resting purple Medicine Pill inside.

“This can’t be true! I deliberately mixed two potent poisons incorrectly, yet it didn’t even explode; instead, it successfully formed a pill?”

“Unbelievable!”

Liu Shunyi reached in and carefully removed the pill, roughly the size of a baby’s fist.

As he examined it closely, his expression grew increasingly perplexed.

Not only had the pill been successfully created, but there was also a faint white pattern visible on its surface.

Wow.

This damn thing actually has pill markings!

Am I seriously that impressive? Creating a pill with markings using just a pressure cooker.

Imagine if I had an actual alchemic furnace – wouldn’t I soar to new heights?

However, the aura emanating from this medicine pill…

Holy smokes.

Why is it causing space around it to distort slightly?

“A Poison Pill?” Liu Shunyi felt somewhat incredulous.

But then, something struck him.

“To others, this Poison Pill might be fatal, but for me, it seems to have no significant effect!”

Despite being a Poison Pill, it still contained spiritual energy, and surprisingly, even more concentrated than that of a typical Qi Gathering Pill.

Without much hesitation, Liu Shunyi took a bite.

“Mm, not bad at all!” His eyes lit up.

Within a few more bites, he finished the pill.

As soon as it entered his stomach, Liu Shunyi didn’t initially feel any drastic effects, except for a sense of fullness.

There was no immediate pain, just a feeling of bloating.

Liu Shunyi didn’t even plan to use the Wild Thunder Scripture to refine this newfound power; he anticipated bursting from its intensity.

However, something peculiar occurred.

Liu Shunyi remained motionless, without activating the Wild Thunder Scripture, yet the spiritual energy within him started calming down spontaneously.

Gradually, it began converging towards his dantian, following specific meridians precisely.

Liu Shunyi stared in disbelief.

Liu Shunyi glanced back at the Grand Dao Golden Book.

Zhang Beiping’s name continued to flash relentlessly, and streams of blue radiance descended towards his body, stabilizing his internal spiritual energies.

In an instant, Liu Shunyi’s cultivation base surged to the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!

Liu Shunyi stared incredulously.

Well, damn.

It seemed that simply by inscribing an enemy’s name in the Grand Dao Golden Book, he didn’t even need to exert effort himself. Not only did this enemy bear negative consequences, but it also helped stabilize his spiritual power? Unbelievable!

Moreover, Liu Shunyi noticed something else startling – Zhang Beiping’s name was gradually turning purple.

“Wow, is he truly a Son of Providence?” Liu Shunyi’s expression darkened.

“No way, he must die!” Determined, Liu Shunyi resumed his frantic alchemy once more.

This time, things were different. He focused solely on creating potent and highly toxic medicine pills.

Liu Shunyi’s plan was straightforward: If explosions couldn’t kill him, then poison surely would!

However, his expectations were misplaced.

Not only did he fail to eliminate Zhang Beiping, but as Liu Shunyi reached the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, nearing Foundation Establishment, Zhang Beiping still remained alive.

To make matters worse, Zhang Beiping’s name grew increasingly brighter.

“Damn!” Observing Zhang Beiping’s name now half-purple, Liu Shunyi couldn’t help but curse aloud.

“What the hell is going on here? Even for a Son of Providence, this isn’t normal!”

Completely bewildered, yet sensing something amiss, Liu Shunyi kicked over the iron cauldron, severely corroded by poisons. Turning around, he decided to investigate further into Zhang Beiping’s situation.

Early the next morning, Liu Shunyi didn’t even need to investigate further.

News about Zhang Beiping had already spread far and wide.

“Have you heard? Yesterday, Elder Brother Beiping displayed immense divine might with a single moment of enlightenment, instantly elevating his cultivation from Initial Stage Foundation Establishment to the Peak Full Perfection!”

“Huh?” Liu Shunyi exclaimed, astonished.

His surprise did not go unnoticed by the other servant disciples, who found it unsurprising given such an extraordinary advancement speed. Anyone hearing this would be taken aback; otherwise, they’d have to be out of their minds.

One servant disciple even shared more details:
“In fact, I’ve heard that Elder Brother Beiping possesses a Myriad Poisons Physique. The more poisons he absorbs, the faster his cultivation base grows. Moreover, the stronger the poison, the more terrifyingly his cultivation escalates after absorbing it!”

At that moment, Liu Shunyi’s face mirrored pure disbelief, resembling a speechless panda!

Damn, seriously?!

So Chen Beiping’s rapid progression was actually due to Liu Shunyi’s own efforts? Bloody hell!

Liu Shunyi felt like stabbing himself right then and there.

Wait.

Stab myself?

Liu Shunyi silently drew his short sword and aimed it at his own heart.

Just as Liu Shunyi was about to act, another servant disciple chimed in with a grin.

“You guys don’t know the full story. I heard that Chen Beiping was indeed considered worthless before, but after he ‘died’ once, he awakened his Phoenix bloodline. With rebirth through fire, he transformed into the genius we see today!”

“Wow, seriously? So if he were to die again and undergo another fiery rebirth, could his aptitude increase even further?”

Liu Shunyi quietly lowered his short sword.

Well, damn.

The Child of Destiny truly is impressive.

Can’t mess with him, can’t mess with him.

However.

If Zhang Beiping doesn’t die,

wouldn’t that mean my own death sentence would essentially be lifted?

As for whether some higher power might still eliminate me, fuck, how am I supposed to resolve that issue?

Liu Shunyi felt increasingly agitated.

With this vexed mindset, Liu Shunyi endured half a month.

During this time, contrary to his fears, no one caused him any trouble.

Liu Shunyi continued living quietly as a servant disciple.

As for Chen Beiping,

he was basking in immense prestige lately.

With his Dual Physique,

he had been personally taken as a direct disciple by the Qinglian Sect Master.

Meanwhile, Zhang Beiping stood just a step away from reaching the Golden Core stage.

Rumor had it that he went to gain experience on some battlefield.

According to the Sect Master’s words,

this young man is undoubtedly exceptional; his path must be forged by himself.

Naturally,

being a direct disciple came with enviable privileges beyond imagination.

Unrestricted access to all sect resources,

freedom to spend Spirit Stones at will, choosing Magic Artifacts and even Spirit Artifacts as desired,

unlimited entry to the Scripture Pavilion,

and unrestricted interaction with female disciples within the sect!

Damn!

It made Liu Shunyi wish he could become a direct disciple too.

Of course,

such thoughts were merely fantasies.

Liu Shunyi remained clear-headed.

For someone like him, seemingly blessed with a cheat code,

his current priority was to avoid detection and potential punishment.

He needed to develop stealthily.

And to ensure his covert progress,

maintaining a low profile was crucial.

However, advancing his status appropriately was also necessary.

Being a servant disciple posed many inconveniences.

Ideally, entering the Outer Sect would be best.

No more than that – just the Outer Sect.

Considering the timing,

it seemed the promotion assessment was next month.

This felt like a guaranteed opportunity for advancement.

Liu Shunyi prepared to sign up.

But as soon as he opened his room door,

he saw Ji Suying about to knock.
