At that moment, a thought struck him: the sign-in system.
[Check-in successful! One consecutive day of check-ins completed!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received a reward for your first sign-in: one Xuan-rank Spirit Pill [Nine Aperture Golden Pill]!]
[The prize has been sent to your system space. Please check it!]
"Huh? Nine-Aperture Golden Pill? If I remember correctly, this thing seems to be the first opportunity that the supreme boss Fang Laomo obtained before he rose to power in another top-tier world."
Upon hearing the system's words, Xiao Ning was startled, but then overjoyed.
Without the help of this pill, that old demon would probably have had to take many more detours before rising to power.
Xiao Ning had obtained quite a few pills as rewards in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world before, but they were all ordinary pills that could loosen muscles and bones, heal injuries and diseases, replenish internal energy, and enhance skills.
Within the system's five levels of "Heaven, Earth, Profound, Yellow, Mortal," it can only be considered the most ordinary mortal-level pill, not qualifying as a spiritual pill.
The Nine-Aperture Golden Pill obtained this time is different from ordinary mortal-grade pills; it belongs to the category of Xuan-grade spiritual pills.
Its effects can not only transform a person, but also reshape their body, cleanse their marrow, and improve the practitioner's aptitude and talent.
If the efficacy of this pill were to spread, I fear that powerful figures from the entire Dou Qi Continent would flock here and raze the Jia Ma Empire to the ground.
This is because a person's natural talent and innate constitution are determined by birth and cannot be changed later in life. Not to mention the Dou Qi Continent, there are no such miraculous elixirs in many worlds.
The Nine-Aperture Golden Pill that Xiao Ning obtained had the miraculous effect of transforming his body and reshaping his talent; it was simply defying fate and could be called an unparalleled divine pill.
No wonder it is ranked as a third-tier Xuan-level elixir in the system's evaluation.
"While my aptitude isn't exactly that of a complete waste, it's not exceptional either; I'm merely of average talent. With the aid of this Nine-Aperture Golden Pill, my path to enlightenment will definitely be faster and more stable!"
"This is truly a stroke of luck!"
"But you're a little bit late!"
"If I had obtained the Nine-Aperture Golden Core at the beginning of my cultivation, I would have already broken through to a higher realm by now!"
Xiao Ning thought with some regret.
At this time, the Xiao family's annual test was nearing its end. The outer sect steward of the Xiao family, who was in charge of the test, gave a few words of encouragement as usual, and then let the group of young men and women disperse.
Xiao Ning quietly returned to his residence, a quiet courtyard covering more than 150 square meters, fully equipped with various facilities.
To Xiao Ning's surprise, the Xiao family's architecture was extremely similar to that of ancient Chinese architecture, but the cultivation methods in this world followed the Western fighting spirit system, making it a hodgepodge.
It must be said that the Xiao family's wealth and strength are worthy of being one of the three major families in Wutan Town, as can be seen from the residence of Xiao Ning, a member of the family.
Xiao Ning closed the courtyard gate, then shut the doors and windows. After taking off his shoes, he sat cross-legged on the wooden bed in the bedroom, flipped his palms, and muttered incantations:
"My Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir, come forth!"
A dark golden pill appeared out of thin air, materializing in his palm.
The Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir lives up to its name.
On this golden pill, which is the size of a pigeon egg, there are nine holes, like acupoints in the human body, and even the holes emit a dazzling light.
The moment the Nine-Aperture Golden Pill appeared in the air, a strange fragrance immediately rose in the air. Just one whiff was enough to invigorate Xiao Ning.
What's particularly amazing is that those nine holes, like acupoints in a person, constantly and subtly breathe in and out the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
Simply holding it in his hand, Xiao Ning felt as if the golden core contained a peculiar life force.
If it were placed in a place rich in spiritual energy, it might even transform into a human after countless years!
As time passed, the medicinal power of the Nine Aperture Golden Pill began to evaporate into the air. Seeing this, Xiao Ning dared not hesitate any longer.
He reached out and pulled off his clothes, revealing his muscular upper body with eight-pack abs in two rows, without an ounce of fat.
If this scene were witnessed by infatuated women in the modern world, they would probably pounce on her without hesitation, offering themselves up as a bedmate.
Unfortunately, no one else witnessed this scene.
Xiao Ning held the Nine Aperture Golden Pill in his left hand, and with his right index and middle fingers joined together like a sword, he gently made a cut on his heart, as if a hot knife were cutting through butter, creating a huge gash, but not a drop of blood flowed out.
A sharp, piercing pain shot through him, but he remained unfazed. With a flick of his two fingers, he widened the wound considerably, and then, with his left hand, he forcefully pressed the Nine Aperture Golden Pill he was holding into the wound.
With a "thump," the Nine Aperture Golden Elixir automatically entered the depths of the heart.
"hiss!"
Large beads of sweat burst from his forehead and slid onto the bed. Xiao Ning couldn't help but gasp.
It hurts so much.
"Fortunately, I didn't get this golden pill when I first transmigrated, otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the courage to use it!"
Xiao Ning was in so much pain that his mouth was agape.
At that very moment, as soon as the Nine-Aperture Golden Elixir entered the heart, it immediately unleashed extremely powerful medicinal force under the flushing of blood and qi throughout the body.
The area on his chest that Xiao Ning had forcibly ripped open healed at an extremely fast speed under the influence of this medicine, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.
In just a few breaths, only a shallow scar remained on his chest, and it's likely that the scar will disappear completely in a little while.
Xiao Ning sat cross-legged on the bed, making no movement, yet he could feel the tremendous changes that the Nine Aperture Golden Elixir brought to his body.
A surge of immense energy erupted from his heart, spreading to every corner of his body, strengthening his muscles and bones, and refining his physique.
