The Power of the Nine Way Cleansing Elixir

Smelling the aroma, Julian looked at Lina Ashford and Liza Voss, who were guarding the room, and said, "The elixirs are ready. Who wants to try one first?"

"I’ll go. It smells delicious."

Liza swallowed, she’s clearly a foodie.

She stared at the perfectly round elixir in Julian’s hand, her dark eyes sparkling with excitement. The rich medicinal fragrance lingered in the air, making her stomach growl ever so slightly.

Lina couldn’t help but smile.

"You really only think about food."

Liza pouted.

"It isn’t my fault! It smells amazing."

Julian let out a soft laugh, shaking his head helplessly.

"So impatient?"

"Very."

"At least let me hand it to you properly."

Liza nodded obediently, taking a small step closer.

Julian pinched a pill and handed it over.

Without hesitation, Liza opened her mouth and took Julian’s finger in.

She used her tongue to catch the pill from between his fingers and swallowed it.

Feeling her warm, moist tongue on his finger, Julian’s thoughts began to wander.

[Cough, who would’ve thought this girl has such a nimble tongue.]

Liza’s face immediately turned bright red.

Only she could hear the unexpected voice echo inside her mind.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Young Master... what are you thinking...

She quickly looked away, pretending nothing had happened, though the tips of her ears had already become crimson.

Julian, completely unaware that his thoughts had been heard, calmly withdrew his hand.

"How does it taste?"

Liza blinked before smiling brightly.

"A little sweet... and it melts immediately."

She licked her lips unconsciously before covering her mouth in embarrassment.

Lina couldn’t help giggling.

"You really are treating it like candy."

"It’s delicious!"

Julian smiled helplessly.

His thoughts drifted again.

[No wonder she can clean the meat off a lamb spine so well.]

Liza nearly choked.

Her cheeks puffed up with embarrassment as she remembered the countless meals where she’d proudly cleaned every last bit of meat from roasted lamb bones.

Young Master...

Please stop thinking about strange things...

She wanted to protest, but she couldn’t exactly explain why her face had suddenly become so red.

Julian simply assumed she was reacting to the elixir’s medicinal effects.

Then his gaze slowly shifted toward Lina.

She instinctively straightened her posture.

His thoughts surfaced once more.

[I wonder how Lina will do.]

Hearing Julian’s inner voice, Lina’s elegant face warmed with a faint blush.

Unlike Liza’s flustered reaction, Lina quietly composed herself.

Young Master...

He’s still completely unaware...

She found his hidden thoughts surprisingly genuine.

Even when they occasionally embarrassed her, they never carried malice.

Instead, they revealed a side of him no one else could see.

Julian pinched another Nine Way Cleansing Elixir and looked at Lina.

Hearing Julian’s thoughts, Lina felt a bit shy inside.

But she obediently opened her mouth to receive Julian’s elixir.

With a gentle inhale, she drew the pill into her mouth.

The pill dissolved almost instantly.

A warm current spread through her body like flowing spring water.

Julian nodded with satisfaction.

"Good."

He stepped back slightly.

"Now, take your time to digest it and see if you can break through."

The two women exchanged determined glances before nodding together.

"We understand, Young Master."

Julian was also feeling a bit overwhelmed.

This was his first successful refinement of the Nine Way Cleansing Elixir, and watching two people he trusted consume it naturally made him curious about the results.

After letting the two girls sit cross-legged to cultivate, he took out a Nine Way Cleansing Elixir and swallowed it himself.

The instant it entered his body, a powerful medicinal energy exploded throughout his limbs.

His breathing slowed.

His body instinctively entered a cultivation state.

The refined medicinal essence flowed through his nervous system like countless warm streams, nourishing every corner of his body before gradually merging into his inner energy.

Julian silently circulated his cultivation technique.

The medicinal force transformed into pure power with astonishing efficiency.

As the medicinal effects spread through his body, Julian felt a noticeable change in both the quality and quantity of his inner energy.

His aura steadily climbed.

The pressure filling the room quietly intensified before stabilizing once again.

After fully absorbing the pill’s power, Julian’s strength increased from the early Silver Realm to the mid Silver Realm.

Opening his eyes, he slowly exhaled a long breath.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

"The effect is even better than I expected."

Still, he wasn’t overly surprised.

The further he progressed, the harder it became to advance, but this didn’t surprise Julian.

He had already taken two Nine Way Cleansing Elixirs.

If he took another, his strength would only rise to the peak of the Silver Realm.

After pondering for a moment, Julian decided not to rush.

He wanted to save the last opportunity to break through to the Gold Realm in one go!

Nearly half an hour later...

Two powerful waves of inner energy erupted one after another.

Lina slowly opened her beautiful purple eyes.

Liza followed moments later, unable to hide the excitement on her face.

Both women stood almost simultaneously.

Their auras had become far stronger than before.

Julian smiled.

"How did it go for you two?"

The two girls looked at each other before speaking together.

"We broke through to the peak of the Silver Realm."

Their voices overlapped perfectly.

The excitement in their expressions was impossible to hide.

This rapid advancement felt like riding a rocket, incredibly exhilarating.

Julian folded his arms with a satisfied grin.

"Of course, your young master makes the best stuff."

Lina smiled gently.

"Young Master, your alchemy is incredible."

Liza nodded enthusiastically.

"I’ve never advanced this fast before!"

Julian laughed.

In the original story, the Nine Way Cleansing Elixir was a top-tier opportunity for Obsidian King Evan.

Fate had simply delivered that opportunity into his own hands instead.

Unable to resist, he reached out and gently pinched both girls’ cheeks.

Soft and squishy, they felt great.

Liza let out a tiny squeak.

"You really like doing that..."

Julian grinned.

"I do."

Lina simply smiled with quiet resignation, allowing him to tease her.

The girls didn’t resist, sitting obediently on the ground as Julian playfully teased them.

After a few pinches, Julian handed the remaining four Nine Way Cleansing Elixirs to the girls.

"Here are four more. If you each take two, can you break through to the Gold Realm?"

"We can, but what about you, Young Master Julian?"

Liza nodded and asked.

Although she desperately wanted to become stronger, she couldn’t ignore the concern lingering in her heart.

Receiving even one of these priceless elixirs had already felt like an incredible blessing.

If they accepted all four...

Wouldn’t Julian be left with none?

Julian smiled reassuringly.

"Don’t worry, you two go ahead and break through to the Gold Realm first. I’ll refine more later."

Julian chuckled, pinching another Nine Way Cleansing Elixir and starting to feed the girls again.
