Chapter 522: Chapter 521: Cultivation Upgrade

After learning about the situation outside, Peter Brown returned to his room.

The situation outside had obviously become very complicated. Peter didn’t know what the Human Clan’s experts were planning to do. All he knew was that the people from the Sea Clan’s royal family would arrive soon, and a fierce battle might ensue.

There was not much time left!

Peter sat cross-legged, adjusting his True Qi to its optimal state before taking out the Black Gold Dan.

Currently, Peter had only one thing to do: raise his cultivation level as high as possible.

Now that he had the Black Gold Dan, he wasn’t sure if such an elixir could help increase his cultivation level by one level.

He swallowed a Black Gold Dan.

As Peter ingested the pill, he could feel the immense energy from the elixir surging throughout his body.

It’s fantastic!

Seeing that the elixir was effective, Peter immediately started executing the Breaking World Technique.

The Breaking World Technique was a Cultivation Technique that could significantly increase the generation of True Qi. As soon as Peter activated the technique, the power of the elixir began converting into True Qi.

Soon, Peter could clearly feel his cultivation level slowly improving.

Before, Peter was at the Qi-refining level 10. With the help of the elixir’s power, his True Qi had rapidly increased.

The power of a single elixir had increased Peter’s True Qi by as much as 5%.

It’s effective!

Although it didn’t seem like much, the Black Gold Dan was clearly an effective elixir for Peter. Since he had so many of them, he started taking them one after another.

Taking elixirs wasn’t like eating food. When a pill entered the stomach, it immediately transformed into a massive amount of energy and entered the area below the navel. After executing the Cultivation Technique, the pill would be fully consumed without causing any bloating sensations.

As such, Peter wasn’t worried that consuming so many elixirs would lead to bloating.

The second Black Gold Dan was swallowed.

Soon, after Peter absorbed the pill, he found that it only increased his True Qi by 4%.

It’s 1% lower!

However, this was a normal situation for elixirs. As more pills were taken, their power would naturally decrease.

Thus, Peter continued to swallow the pills one by one, converting their energy into True Qi using his Cultivation Technique. By the time he took the fifth pill, he noticed that each pill’s effectiveness was steadily decreasing.

It seemed in the future he would have to search for new Elixir Formulas. While the current elixir provided a significant improvement below the Foundation Establishment stage, Peter couldn’t help but wonder about the improvement it would provide above that stage. By then, the improvement might not be as significant.

After converting the first pill into True Qi, Peter’s cultivation reached the Qi-refining Level 10 middle stage.

It’s so difficult!

Two days passed, and Peter left his room.

When he went outside, he surprisingly found the maid Sarah waiting for him.

"Didn’t you take any elixirs?" After asking the question, Peter looked at Sarah and noticed that she had indeed taken an elixir; she had just consumed a single pill, but her True Qi had significantly increased.

"Master, this servant has increased her cultivation a bit, but I was worried that you needed information about the outside situation, so I had someone investigate."

Not bad!

Peter was quite satisfied with Sarah’s responsible attitude.

The dishes were quickly served, and Peter ate while learning about the happenings outside.

Indeed, the Human Clan in the city had mostly united, and a battle with the Sea Clan seemed imminent.

From the information gathered by Sarah and others, the Human Clan’s experts from several other cities had also arrived, including some Foundation Establishment stage experts. It was rumored that the outcome of this battle would have a significant impact on the Human Clan’s survival in the sea area, intensifying the conflict between the two sides.

Upon hearing this, Peter understood that the situation in the city was a result of the Human Clan’s long-term planning.

Though the Sea Clan might be slightly delayed in receiving news, it was a race that had dominated the sea for many years. How could the energy they unleashed be underestimated?

"Sarah, you and the others should also speed up your cultivation progress."

Peter was worried that Sarah and others like her might be implicated in the upcoming events.

"Don’t worry, Master. We’ll do our best."

After finishing his meal, Daniel Swift unexpectedly came to visit.

At the sight of Peter, Daniel exclaimed, "I’ve been here a few times but was told that you were in closed-door cultivation. It seems that your cultivation has greatly improved!"

"I’ve made some breakthroughs during my closed-door cultivation and experienced some growth. However, it’s still nowhere near your level, shopkeeper."

Peter could now see Daniel’s true cultivation level. Daniel had reached the peak of the twelve-layer Qi-Refining stage, likely having hidden some of his cultivation previously.

With a serious expression, Daniel said, "Fellow Daoist, I’m guessing you’ve already learned about the situation in the city. The Human Clan’s experts have now united, and our goal is to at least achieve equal footing with the Sea Clan in the underwater world. We’ve fought for this for countless years and failed many times. Now, the Foundation Establishment experts of the sea area have joined forces, and we’ll give it another shot. No one knows what will happen, so please be careful."

To his surprise, Daniel had come to warn Peter about his safety.

Peter asked, "How confident are you?"

Shaking his head, Daniel said, "You’re from the mainland, so I won’t hide it from you. Even now, we’re still somewhat concerned about this matter. After all, we’ve always been at a disadvantage when it comes to the comparison of Foundation Establishment stage experts. The Sea Clan has controlled the sea area for many years, and almost all the resources have been controlled by them. In terms of absolute combat power at the Foundation Establishment stage, we are at a disadvantage. Fortunately, we have formation masters, and in formations, we have the upper hand."

At this point, Daniel sighed and said, "If only we had a few more Foundation Establishment stage experts."

Peter nodded slightly and said, "I hope you can secure a good future for the Human Clan."

"That’s right, we all have the same goal. This time, many twelve-layer Qi-Refining experts have arrived as well. Although they can’t compare to Foundation Establishment stage experts, they can still make a difference."

Seeing Daniel’s unwavering determination, Peter felt ashamed of himself. All along, he had been focused on his own interests and had rarely considered the wellbeing of the Human Clan. He respected the actions of Daniel and others like him.
