John finished his meal and discussions with Leah and Elliot before he parted ways with them.

"If you ever have any problems within the sect, just reach out to me," John gave them some parting words. However, word should soon spread of the incident today, making John confident that neither of them would be targeted again.

"Sure thing," Elliot happily replied, while Leah nodded her head in agreement.

John bade the two of them farewell before walking towards the Pill Hall. He climbed to the sixth floor, and quickly reached Pill Emperor Thunderpill\'s room.

Knock! Knock!

Learning from his last encounter, John decided to knock this time. He heard hurried footsteps on the other side of the door, before the door was quickly opened.

"Ah, you\'re here. In that case, here you go," Pill Emperor Thunderpill stated as he threw a few pill bottles to John.

John caught them, somewhat caught off guard, and looked back up to Pill Emperor Thunderpill who was beginning to close the door once more.

"Wait," John called out, causing the Pill Emperor to pause for a moment.

"What is it?" he asked in an exacerbated tone.

"This is it? Shouldn\'t you explain what the pills do first?" John asked. He had no idea what exactly the pills would do for him.

"Figure that out yourself," Pill Emperor Thunderpill replied. "The ingredients you gave me, especially that blood fruit, gave me new insights into the Pill Dao. I must capitalize on them before they leave my mind. As such, goodbye."

Bang!

The door slammed shut in John\'s face, slightly startling him. He stared in silence at the door for a moment, completely caught unprepared for this bizarre interaction. However, the Pill Emperor had fulfilled his side of the bargain, and so John was not about to make a fuss about it.

\'Anything that will boost my power and combat prowess is a boon for me right now. The sooner I can meet that crazy woman\'s standards, the sooner I can get done with her hellish training.\'

After receiving the pills, John quickly retired to his mountain abode for the night. He greeted Reya and Francel for a moment, who were still in high spirits from receiving John\'s generous gifts, before entering his meditation chamber in the basement.

He quickly sat down, and just as he did so, he felt a tremble in his soul space.

Kirii appeared before him once more, and began to rub up against him affectionately.

John smiled as he patted Kirii. "You know, you don\'t have to stay cooped up inside my soul space all the time. If you want to follow me around, you can do that as well, as long as you remember to disguise yourself."

Kirii tilted its head to the side as it listened to John speak. It couldn\'t understand his words, but could understand his intentions for the most part. Kirii rubbed up against John once more before speeding out into the training area of the basement, once again running around it like a child.

John shook his head as he watched Kirii for a moment before returning his attention to his pills.

"Now then, let\'s see what Thunderpill concocted for me."

There were two pill bottles, one containing a single blood red pill, and the other containing many orangish pills.

"The blood red pill should be from that blood fruit, while the orange pills are from the dozen or so Nascent Yang Fruits I gave the Pill Emperor. Let\'s start with the Nascent Yang Fruits."

John set aside the other bottle, and grabbed a single pill from the Nascent Yang Fruit bottle. He observed it for a moment, and noticed a strong yang aura emanate from the pill. It was quite a remarkable pill, and would be quite potent at John\'s cultivation realm.

"Let\'s hope it advances my lightning quality," John mused to himself as he popped the first pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

An intense heat instantly burned within his stomach as the pill began to dissolve. John felt his body grow hotter, and soon felt as if he was a furnace himself. His entire body turned red from the heat, as steam began to emanate off his body.

John ignored the pain wracking his body and started guiding the medicinal properties of the Nascent Yang Pill throughout his body, as well as his dantian. The Nascent Yang Pill was used to upgrade Yang based powers, of which lightning was one.

Slowly but surely, John infused the intense yang energy into his flesh, meridians, muscles, and dantian. His body continued to heat up from the process, but John ignored the intense pain wracking his body as he grit his teeth instead.

However, through the pain, John felt elation, as he could feel his body, and especially his dantian, begin to grow in profundity. The yang energy from the pill infused into his dantian, which he had formed using the Primordial Extermination Lightning cultivation technique.

He could feel his natural affinity towards lightning improve, as well as the potency of the lightning Qi he could generate. After several minutes, the affects of the pill faded, and John\'s body returned to normal.

Sweat drenched his entire body as John closely inspected it. He raised his hand, and lightning began to dance over it. A large smile appeared on his face.

"My lightning Qi is definitely more powerful and explosive now than it was before consuming the pill."

John continued to inspect his new lightning potency for a while before he grabbed another pill.

\'Most of the time, pills are a one time thing before they lose their efficacy, but let\'s see if that\'s the case here.\'

John popped another one in his mouth and swallowed it. Heat once again assaulted his body, and John followed the principles he had learned from the first pill once again. His smile grew larger as he inspected his lightning once more.

"It actually improved it once more!"

John popped another pill in his mouth, and another. Only after the fourth pill did the helpful effects of the pill finally vanish. However, John was not too upset about this, as his gains had already been tremendous.

"Just my lightning power alone is at least thirty percent stronger than before. Just from consuming some pills. The Nascent Yang Fruit sure is amazing."

John stored the rest of the Yang Fruit Pills away, as he figured he could give them to some of his friends, or sell them. His eyes trailed down once more and focused on the other bottle sitting on the floor in front of him.

A single blood red pill sat inside the bottle, its aura incredibly enticing to John. He reached out and grabbed it, and raised it in front of his face. Its color was blood red, and it emanated an incredibly similar aura to the fruit itself. However, its potency seemed to be concentrated even further, putting a hopeful smile on John\'s face.

"Now, let\'s see what you can do for me!"
