If it reached a certain point, Ethan Cooper felt his heart skip a beat. In that case, the things inside that safe could one day be manufactured as well.

Chapter Ten: Chocolate Beans

Although with his current knowledge, he had no idea what that thing was, just by looking at the attitudes of Elder Jason Reed and John Harris, he could tell it must be something good.

With this discovery, Ethan Cooper was overjoyed. He opened the jade bottle; inside was only one pill, about the size of a thumb, emerald green, and quite adorable.

He gently pinched it with his fingers. Why was this pill so strange? Could it be that the old Taoist gave him the wrong thing?

This style and color—Ethan Cooper would absolutely remember it for the rest of his life, impossible to forget.

Back at the orphanage, every New Year or festival, they would hand out some candies, among which were chocolate beans of various colors. These were especially popular and sought after by the children.

Back then, Ethan Cooper had gotten hold of a green chocolate bean and showed it off everywhere, only to have it snatched away by an older kid, and he even got beaten up for it. Of course, he could never forget the culprit behind that.

He brought it to his nose and carefully sniffed—there was no smell at all.

“The old Taoist values me so much, he wouldn’t give me a fake pill, right?” Ethan Cooper muttered to himself.

Although fake medicine was rampant on the market these days, immortals should have their own lofty standards and not be affected by such things. Otherwise, how would they be any different from street thugs?

After hesitating for a while, he finally put it in his mouth. Anyway, this thing wouldn’t kill him. If it didn’t work, he could just complain to the old Taoist when he returned.

After chewing a few times, Ethan Cooper felt annoyed—this taste was clearly that of a chocolate bean.

He was just about to get up when a surge of heat suddenly rose in his belly, the strength of which was at least a hundred times greater than that of the old Taoist.

Ethan Cooper immediately realized that this thing was the real deal, genuine through and through.

He cleared his mind of all distractions and focused all his energy on guiding this raging fire as it coursed through his body.

Fortunately, although the energy contained in this Foundation Establishment Pill was great, its medicinal effect was not too intense—it just lasted a long time.

So Ethan Cooper was still able to guide that stream of heat through a full cycle in his meridians, then return it to his dantian.

This time, his meditation lasted even longer than before. By the time he woke up, his phone was already out of battery.

However, he still didn’t feel the slightest bit hungry. Could it be that this Foundation Establishment Pill also had the effect of fasting?

He circulated his energy slightly, and the changes in his body made Ethan Cooper overjoyed.

The spiritual energy that had originally been just a trickle had now increased a thousandfold, like a bucket of clear water suddenly turning into a small river—far more than could be measured.

He hadn’t expected a single Foundation Establishment Pill to have such an effect. No wonder Kevin Wright looked so envious. In that case, if he took a few more, wouldn’t he be able to reach the legendary realms in no time?

Thinking of this, Ethan Cooper was suddenly inspired. He looked around—no one was there. In fact, even if someone was, he might not have noticed.

He lowered his head, calmed his mind, and activated his ability.

A strange ripple appeared in the air, and in Ethan Cooper’s hand, a jade bottle was forming out of thin air at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At first, it seemed like nothing but a fleeting illusion, but it became clearer and clearer.

Ethan Cooper’s ability had long since been exhausted, and now, what was supporting him to continue creating was the endless spiritual power in his dantian.

“Whew…” He let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Creating something from nothing had only taken him a minute, but all the spiritual power in his body was already depleted.

If the difficulty of making this Foundation Establishment Pill had been even a little higher, just a tiny bit, he would have been powerless.

Heh heh… this luck really isn’t ordinary!

Holding the Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, Ethan Cooper couldn’t help but feel proud. Cultivating the immortal path was just a bit too easy, wasn’t it?

If he just took a few of these pills every day, wouldn’t he soon reach all those legendary realms?

Hmm, do you have to reach the Core Formation stage before you can leave the sect? Forty years, heh heh… with his ability as an aid, forget forty years—even two months might be enough.

He opened his mouth and swallowed that green Foundation Establishment Pill again.

Who even invented chocolate beans? Could it be that the inventor was actually an immortal? Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

The color, shape, and taste of the two were almost the same, but their effects were worlds apart.

Lost in his wild thoughts, that familiar surge of heat quickly began to burn fiercely in his belly once more. But this time, Ethan Cooper was fully prepared. He remained calm and unhurried, and following the same route, soon merged that stream of heat into his dantian.

What surprised him greatly this time was that, in his perception, the time it took to circulate his energy seemed much shorter than last time—basically only about half as long.
