If outsiders were to see this, they would surely curse it as extravagant. With this first Dragon-Tiger Dao Platform established, as long as one continues to cultivate, under the nurturing of the dragon and tiger aura from the first platform, a second and third Dragon-Tiger Dao Platform can gradually be formed.

Brian Carter had already planned to take the pill-popping route, so he didn’t care at all about waste. After taking the second Minor Dragon-Tiger Pill, he quickly condensed a second Dragon-Tiger Dao Platform.

The third pill for the third platform... Brian Carter swallowed ten Dragon-Tiger Pills in one go, exchanging them for ten Dao Platforms, pushing his Foundation Establishment to true perfection, and then began to mobilize the power of the ten platforms to form ten streams of spiritual energy, finally converging them into a single segment of an Immortal Bridge connecting the ten Dao Platforms.

Qi Drawing, Foundation Establishment, Immortal Bridge, Golden Core!

Brian Carter broke through Foundation Establishment in one go and condensed a segment of Immortal Bridge, not pausing at all. Relying on the five remaining Minor Dragon-Tiger Pills in his hand, he forged a second, third, fourth, and fifth segment of Immortal Bridge...

After completing five segments, he ultimately failed to reach the great perfection of the Immortal Bridge stage with ten segments.

Brian Carter sighed. In the end, he still couldn’t break through the Immortal Bridge stage straight to the Golden Core stage. It seems he’ll have to wait until after the competition to earn some money, then get a batch of herbs and a better pill furnace to refine new pills before he can reach the Golden Core stage.

Although he only reached five bridges, Brian Carter was still quite satisfied. While this cultivation level wasn’t high among the peak masters of the Hundred Peaks, he was no longer at the very bottom.

Brian Carter looked at the surrounding formation and decided that once he had money, he would set up one on Four Treasures Peak just like the one in the pill furnace room. This formation prevented spiritual energy from leaking out, so his rapid breakthroughs wouldn’t cause any anomalies to be seen by others.

If he completed the ten Dao Platforms to great perfection on Four Treasures Peak, the anomalies caused would definitely be impossible to hide, and then he wouldn’t be able to make as much money from the betting odds at the gambling house.

Several rooster crows traveled from the ground into the underground pill furnace room. Brian Carter knew that it was already dawn, but he had paid to stay here for a full day and night, so if he left now, he’d be losing half a day’s money.

“Let’s use this earth fire and pill furnace to temper myself.” Brian Carter stepped into the huge pill furnace before him, then unleashed his full mana to protect his body, used the formation to draw a bit of earth fire, and began to temper himself like Sun Wukong in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

Within the Great Hole True Scripture, there was a set of Dragon-Tiger Golden Body, which required Samadhi True Fire to reach perfection.

Now, although Brian Carter was poor enough to still wear pants, he couldn’t afford to rent an earth fire pill room with Samadhi True Fire. Besides, the Hundred Peaks Sect might not even have such earth fire, so he could only make do with this one for now, just to get a basic tempering.

Ten Dao Platforms and an Immortal Bridge! Three hours later, Brian Carter opened his eyes and leapt out of the pill furnace, put on the clothes he had taken off earlier, and stretched his limbs. The voice of Zhonghua Cloud came: “Administrator level up.”

Brian Carter saw that his document in the sea of clouds was now a size larger than before.

Immediately, Brian Carter’s file panel popped up in the sea of clouds.

“Add a random user, add a designated user, deep-link with a designated user...”

Just as Brian Carter was about to ask what “deep-link with a designated user” meant, the door to the room suddenly exploded, debris flying, and Thomas Baker appeared.

Chapter 11: I’m Not Faking an Accident, But You Should Show Some Goodwill

Time passed from dusk to midnight, from midnight to dawn, and from dawn to afternoon.

The crowd watching Thomas Baker had changed several times. Many mortals who came for the spectacle had lost patience and left, but as time passed and word spread, more disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect gathered to watch.

Cultivators’ patience and endurance far surpassed that of mortals. The crowd’s attention made Thomas Baker feel like a monkey performing tricks on a street bridge, unable to advance or retreat, forced to stew in his anger as he waited for Brian Carter to appear.

At first, Thomas Baker just wanted to slap Brian Carter in the face, so that the latter, for the sake of saving face, wouldn’t try to get the duel with Xingyao Peak canceled. But by midnight... Thomas Baker changed his mind. He decided to give Brian Carter a good beating and thoroughly humiliate him.

As time went on and morning arrived, Thomas Baker was watched by even more Hundred Peaks Sect disciples as if he were a monkey. He decided not only to beat Brian Carter, but also to use magic to shatter his clothes and make him streak naked! That way, he could vent his anger at being made a fool of.

By noon, under everyone’s gaze, Thomas Baker was on the verge of losing his mind. He struggled to control himself so that when he saw Brian Carter, he wouldn’t accidentally kill him.

The rules of the Hundred Peaks Sect were strict! If someone was killed in a sparring match, it was a life for a life! If a subordinate killed a fellow disciple, the entire Xingyao Peak would be implicated, and the Xingyao Peak Master would be severely punished by the Sect Leader.
