"System," Ye Feng asked internally, seeing everyone still dry-heaving, shocked by the horror of the Marrow Cleansing Pills, "everyone's strength and accumulated Impurities are different. How many Marrow Cleansing Pills do they need to take to completely transform into an impurity-free Spirit Body?" He was curious how many each person needed to eat to end this nightmare.
"Ding! Marrow Cleansing Pills fundamentally remove Impurities and change one's constitution, ignoring all other factors. Each person needs to swallow one hundred thousand Marrow Cleansing Pills to completely possess an impurity-free Spirit Body."
Hearing the System's reply, Ye Feng was utterly stunned. He never imagined the 'large amount' mentioned in the pill description meant one hundred thousand!
"Ye Feng, I do feel some changes in my body, though not very significant. But I must have eaten at least two or three hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills just now. How many do we need to eat to achieve an impurity-free Spirit Body?" Chu Hongshan, having recovered slightly, looked at Ye Feng and asked directly. If they had to keep eating non-stop, he really couldn't handle it. His mouth currently reeked of a foul odor, and his spirit had also been considerably affected.
The rest of the crowd also looked towards Ye Feng. Although they had all felt changes in their bodies, they desperately wanted to know the answer to this question too.
"One hundred thousand!" Ye Feng stated the exact number directly, meeting their curious gazes. "Regardless of age, whether you're a Body Cultivator or a Dao Cultivator, regardless of cultivation realm, as long as you eat one hundred thousand Marrow Cleansing Pills, you can possess an impurity-free Spirit Body!"
Crazy! When everyone heard 'one hundred thousand', they all broke down! Forget merely eating pills; many among them had experienced all sorts of things over decades, but they truly couldn't withstand this! The extremely poor taste of the Marrow Cleansing Pills even affected their spirits; even using methods to seal their senses of taste and smell was completely useless!
However, Luo Qianxue felt her mind greatly shaken at this moment, because she realized an extremely terrifying implication. Once everyone possessed an impurity-free Spirit Body, it was equivalent to having a direct ticket to the Upper Realm! As long as they obtained some opportunities and could withstand the nine Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulations after reaching the Ninth Layer Peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, they would absolutely soar after Ascending to the Upper Realm. Only then would the power of the impurity-free Spirit Body be fully revealed.
Hiss! Thinking of this, Luo Qianxue couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. If her Master in the Upper Realm knew she had such a group of Prodigies under her, she would definitely order her to recruit them into the Limitless Sacred Land at all costs!
"No!" Chu Xiaoxiao vehemently shook her head like a pellet drum. "If you want me to eat one hundred thousand of such disgusting pills, you might as well just kill me!" She deeply regretted joining everyone in eating just now. The mental impact of the Marrow Cleansing Pills made her feel dirty even now!
The others also showed expressions of struggle. Although an impurity-free Spirit Body could speed up cultivation, was that all? Was it really worth it? One hundred thousand pills... they felt they would definitely go mad in the end!
"Are they really that disgusting?" Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Feng couldn't help but curiously pop one into his mouth. Less than a second later, he spat it right out, his face turning grim like a bitter melon.
"System! This is what you call 'slightly poor' taste?" Ye Feng raged internally. "This is freaking like eating shit!"
"It's truly unimaginable what kind of willpower allowed them to eat over two hundred! I think we should just forget it. I'll keep these Marrow Cleansing Pills for being prodigal instead." After trying it himself, Ye Feng couldn't help but complain to the System.
"Ding! Alerting Host: The impurity-free Spirit Body created by Marrow Cleansing Pills is the purest form. While its effects are not obvious in the lower realm, once Ascended to the Upper Realm, the terror of the impurity-free Spirit Body will be completely revealed. Please decide your course of action, Host."
Hearing the System's reminder, Ye Feng paused. He truly hadn't expected the real place where the impurity-free Spirit Body displayed its divine might was actually the Upper Realm!
Seeing that even Ye Feng couldn't handle a single pill and spat it out, the others completely stopped struggling, having made their decision!
"Ye Feng, I think we should just forget this. I really can't handle one hundred thousand!" Chu Hongshan was the first to voice his thoughts, looking at Ye Feng.
"Alright!" Ye Feng agreed readily. "But let me give you fair warning, Elder Chu: if you eat even one pill less than the required amount, I'll let that one-armed madman out once. I can't guarantee what he'll do to you then; I can only guarantee you'll survive!" After speaking, Ye Feng once again took out handful after handful of pills.
Crunch! Crunch! As Ye Feng's words fell, the Blood-Devouring Mantis beside him looked as if it had seen a great terror. It grabbed a handful of the Marrow Cleansing Pills Ye Feng had just taken out and began eating frantically. It wasn't stupid; it knew very well Ye Feng's words weren't directed solely at Chu Hongshan. Thinking of that one-armed madman, it would rather be disgusted to death by these foul-smelling Marrow Cleansing Pills than face that lunatic!
Crunch! Crunch! Just then, the sound of chewing pills came from the side again. Everyone turned in shock to find it was Chu Xiaoxiao! Weren't you the one who refused most vehemently just now?!
One-armed madman? Who on earth is that? Luo Qianxue watched her Close Female Friend beside her, terrified, stuffing handful after handful of pills into her mouth. She was truly stunned. Knowing her friend's personality, if she didn't want to do something, no one could persuade her. Yet now, just a single sentence from Ye Feng had changed her like this? How could Luo Qianxue not feel perplexed and astonished!
"Ye Feng, I ate two hundred and thirty-eight Marrow Cleansing Pills earlier. Give me the remaining ones," Chu Hongshan suddenly declared, already starting to eat the pills Ye Feng had just placed before him. "As the Elder who arrived last at the sect, I feel it's necessary to set an example! Not to mention, you're giving us such precious Marrow Cleansing Pills because you think highly of us!"
Dumbfounded! The rest of the group was completely dumbfounded seeing this scene!
What's going on?! Don't just freaking eat! Freaking tell us! What one-armed madman?! Say something already! We're freaking panicking here!
Who was the strongest in the sect right now? Wasn't it the Blood-Devouring Mantis and Chu Hongshan? But now, the two strongest were scared like this! Everyone felt that if they didn't follow suit and eat, they would definitely be the unlucky ones in the end!
"Just how many more things are you hiding from me, you Rebellious Disciple?" Luo Qianxue looked curiously at Ye Feng. She felt Ye Feng was hiding more and more things from her. And given the current situation, she guessed something she didn't know must have happened inside the blacksmith shop back when she was pushed out.
...
Ten minutes later.
Everyone stopped eating again. After all, they had just eaten until stuffed earlier. Now, relying purely on great willpower, they had forced down nearly another hundred pills, but they had truly reached their limit. However, they also discovered that as the pills' effects dissipated, the feeling of fullness also gradually disappeared.
Retch! After dry-heaving a few times, Chu Hongshan finally looked at Ye Feng and said, "Ye Feng, we killed Zhang Shufeng. I'm afraid Shi Chenfeng will find out before long. He might come looking for trouble with our sect then."
