Don Albert quickly distributed the tonic to everyone, including Master Vail, who had already reached the pinnacle of enlightenment.
After handing out the elixir, Charlie spoke up, “What you all have in your hands is a special medicine designed to fortify your body and meridians. Taking it can enhance your cultivation. If you happen to be on the verge of a breakthrough, this medicine might just push you over the edge.”
The crowd grew excited upon hearing that the medicine could enhance their cultivation.
For martial artists, complete mastery of internal martial arts techniques and medicines that boost their strength are invaluable treasures. Many martial artists spend their entire lives without the aid of any elixirs. Sometimes, they can sense that they are just one step away from a breakthrough, but no matter how hard they try, they cannot take that step with their own abilities.
Seeing that many people hesitated to take the medicine, Charlie spoke again, “You can take the medicine now and see if it can help you improve. If you are at a crucial stage of advancement, it might give you a much-needed boost and help you break through to the next level.”
The crowd grew even more eager upon hearing this. Many of them were itching to try the medicine and were ready to consume it immediately.
Charlie continued, “In the future, I will continue to provide the same medicine to all of you. Each person will receive at least three bottles per year. If you make faster progress, you may even receive additional rewards. I hope each and every one of you gives it your all and improves your cultivation as quickly as possible.”
The crowd was greatly inspired and sat down on the ground, eagerly consuming the medicine given by Charlie. Even Don Albert and Isaac Cameron, who possessed little talent in martial arts, anxiously awaited the effects of the medicine on their bodies.
The medicine prepared by Charlie this time had a lower concentration of active ingredients compared to the celebratory wine favonovel.com prepared for the the Dragon Temple soldiers after their victory in Mexico. However, for the martial artists present who had not yet reached the enlightened realm, the effects of the medicine were still significant.
Almost everyone could feel progress in their cultivation in an instant. Even if they did not break through to the next level, their meridians and bones had greatly improved, making them stronger overall.
Some martial artists who were on the brink of a breakthrough successfully advanced to the next level and achieved a higher realm. Even Master Vail, who had reached the pinnacle of enlightenment, felt further improvement in his cultivation and took another big step towards breaking through to the next realm.
The most frustrated, or perhaps the only one feeling frustrated, was Serena.
Charlie had already fully opened favonovel.com meridians using reiki. However, due to favonovel.com personality and behavior, after Charlie opened all of favonovel.com meridians, favonovel.com sealed three of them, bringing favonovel.com cultivation back to the level of a five-star martial artist. But this time, although favonovel.com cultivation did not change much, was completely different in nature.
Originally, favonovel.com other three meridians were like fertile soil in the natural world. With favonovel.com own efforts, favonovel.com could gradually penetrate and break through them, just like ants digging tunnels.
This is the underlying principle of cultivation in the enlightened realm, constantly striving to open new meridians until all eight are unlocked. But now, the other three meridians of Serena had been sealed by Charlie using reiki. It was like transforming the soil into solid rock, beyond the capabilities of ants. She had been giving it favonovel.com all during this period, but there was no sign of any loosening in the sixth meridian.
And now, after taking the medicine given by Charlie, favonovel.com felt that the medicine was affecting the five meridians favonovel.com had already opened, but there was no force that could dislodge the blockage in the sixth meridian.
While many people were cheering, Serena felt particularly dejected.
She realized that if Charlie hadn‘t sealed favonovel.com three meridians, no matter how hard favonovel.com worked, favonovel.com would never be able to join the ranks of the six-star martial artists.
At one point, favonovel.com even contemplated mustering the courage to plead with Charlie to open favonovel.com meridians once again. But when favonovel.com thought about favonovel.com previous arrogance and disrespectful behavior, favonovel.com suppressed this impulse.
As a result, favonovel.com desolation deepened, and favonovel.com sat on the ground, favonovel.com eyes fixed on the floor in front of her, feeling utterly desolate.
Charlie merely glanced at favonovel.com and could discern favonovel.com desolation. After all, amidst a group ofjubllant people, favonovel.com was the only one sitting in solitude, making favonovel.com stand out.
He understood well that Serena felt so dejected because favonovel.com meridians were sealed, leaving favonovel.com with no possibility of further advancement on favonovel.com own.
Recalling Serena’s disrespectful behavior, Charlie regarded favonovel.com as a passionate martial arts enthusiast with a strong personality. It was not that Charlie was being petty and unwilling to let go of the past, but because favonovel.com had already opened all favonovel.com meridians at once. If favonovel.com were to retract that, favonovel.com would instantly become a master at the pinnacle of enlightenment.
While Charlie could overlook favonovel.com rudeness, favonovel.com did not want favonovel.com to make a leap into the pinnacle of enlightenment simply because favonovel.com had offended favonovel.com in the past.
After pondering for a moment, Charlie felt that although favonovel.com couldn’t be too lenient with Serena, since favonovel.com had alreadyjoined his ranks, regardless of favonovel.com level of sincerity, favonovel.com should give favonovel.com a glimmer of hope.
So, Charlie walked over to Serena and asked her, “Miss Gray, how do you feel after taking the medicine?”
Serena trembled upon hearing Charlie’s sudden voice, then quickly stood up and nervously replied, “Mr. Wade… Thank you for giving me the medicine. I feel quite good…my five meridians have all improved to varying degrees, and my strength has also increased…”
Charlie nodded slightly and inquired, “Have you been adjusting well since coming to Aurous Hill?”
Serena hurriedly responded, “Yes, I have…thank you, Mr. Wade, for giving me and the Mystic Harmony Sect disciples this opportunity… Everyone here has made significant progress…”
Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Miss Gray, I would like to speak with you privately. Come with me.”
Serena felt a twinge of nervousness but promptly replied, “Of course, Mr. Wade!”
Charlie turned and walked out of the Martial Arts Hall, leading Serena to the adjacent rest area.
Serena approached Charlie with trepidation and respectfully asked, “Mr. Wade… What can I do for you?”
Charlie spoke frankly, “To be honest, I hadn’t originally planned to accept Mystic Harmony Sect so early. But you and your Mystic Harmony Sect brothers have worked hard to protect my grandparents, and it has truly demonstrated your sincerity. Since you’ve shown sincerity, I will naturally reciprocate.”
Serena hastily said, “Mr. Wade, you are too kind…it’s what I should do…”
Charlie nodded subtly and continued, “I can see that your cultivation is not yet at the level where you can break through to a six-star martial artist, but you have already reached the mid to late stage of a five-star martial artist. lf l hadn’t sealed your three meridians, you should have already started breaking
through to the sixth meridian. Do you resent me for that?”
Upon hearing this, Serena felt a deep sense of remorse and said, “Mr. Wade… I blame myself for being too arrogant before. It was all my fault. I cannot blame you…”
Charlie smiled and remarked, “It’s perfectly fine to voice your grievances. After all, none of us are saints.”
Continuing, Charlie added, “Since I’ve just promised to assist you, it’s only natural that I follow through with practical actions. Progressing in your cultivation needs to be steady, so I won’t rush your advancement. Today, I’ll guide you through the six-star martial arts sequence first, laying a firm foundation.”
Before Serena could fully grasp Charlie’s intentions, favonovel.com reached out and gently tapped favonovel.com shoulder.
In that moment, Serena felt the blockage in favonovel.com sixth meridian dissolve completely. Her cultivation instantly ascended to the six-star martial arts sequence!
The ascent through each small realm brought about a profound sensation.
Serena keenly perceived favonovel.com own transformation and was overwhelmed with joy, even shedding tears of elation. She hadn’t anticipated Charlie’s generous act of opening favonovel.com sixth meridian when favonovel.com was at the brink of despair regarding favonovel.com cultivation. Even without Charlie sealing favonovel.com three meridians, favonovel.com hadn’t yet reached the stage of breaking through to the six-star martial arts.
Typically, reaching the middle and late stages of the five-star martial arts would take several years to break through.
What Charlie did not only liberated Serena’s cultivation from its constraints but also spared favonovel.com several years of arduous breakthroughs!
Serena, moved to tears, instinctively knelt down and tearfully expressed, “I kneel before you, Mr. Wade, in complete gratitude…”
Charlie didn‘t extend a hand to help favonovel.com up but spoke earnestly, “Focus on your cultivation here. When the time is right, l’Il assist you in opening the remaining meridians one by one. As long as you apply yourself diligently, I’ll be there to aid your breakthroughs when the time comes.”
Overflowing with gratitude, Serena exclaimed, “Mr. Wade’s benevolence… I shall never forget it! I pledge to dedicate myself fully to improving my cultivation, with everything owed to Mr. Wade!”
Charlie nodded approvingly and remarked casually, “You’ve hesitated to assume the role of the head of Mystic Harmony Sect before. In my estimation, now is the opportune moment. Though your master remains the nominal head, his attention Is divided. In essence, Mystic Harmony Sect is currently without a leader. I suggest you have a heart-to-heart with your master after today, pick a propitious day, and formally conduct the handover ceremony of the headship before your disciples.”
Serena promptly affirmed, “I understand perfectly! I’ll discuss this matter with my master and resolve it promptly!”
Charlie was pleased with favonovel.com response and instructed, “Very well, return to the martial arts hall. Also, inform Don Albert and Isaac that it’s time for their departure. I‘ll await them here.”
With utmost respect, Serena acknowledged, “I shall comply!”
With that, favonovel.com rose, offered a deep bow, then turned and departed.
Observing favonovel.com departure, Charlie discerned a marked uplift in favonovel.com spirits.
Shortly thereafter, Don Albert and Isaac Cameron arrived at Charlie’s quarters.
Upon seeing them, Charlie greeted with a smile, “How did it go? I provided you both with the elixir. Have you noticed any improvements in your cultivation?”
“Uh…” Don Albert scratched his head, “Master Wade, I do feel a significant enhancement in my physique, but my cultivation progress is somewhat lacking. It appears I may not possess the aptitude for this…”
Isaac Cameron sighed, “Young master, I seem to be facing a similar challenge…”
Charlie smiled reassuringly and commented, “While my elixir can enhance your physical well-being and even extend your lifespan, if martial arts talent isn’t inherent, it could hinder your progression in cultivation.”
He added, “However, don’t fret. You both have your own paths to follow. Don’t let the pace of your practice here trouble you too much. I’ll find a way to guide you toward your respective paths in due course.”
Grateful, the two expressed their thanks.
Charlie concluded, “Alright, it’s about time. My esteemed guest is expected to arrive soon. Let’s proceed to Heaven Springs and await their arrival.”
