Chapter 19: Divine Grade? Boundary Pill

The intense kiss from Chiba had deepened his relationship with Hina, taking it to a new level. For someone he considered his own woman, Chiba naturally wanted to give her the best.

That night, he taught Hina the first level of the Giant Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength. Hina, with her exceptional talent and strong physical constitution, began practicing with the foundation-building liquid Chiba provided. Within just three days, she had already started awakening particles.

Hina was astounded by the power of the Giant Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength. She couldn't fathom how Chiba had developed such a potent training method. It was hundreds of times more effective than the most advanced Qi Training Art used by the Marines. Her heart felt warm and sweet.

Such a powerful technique, and Chiba had only shared it with Garp and herself. Naturally, he'd pass it to Garp, his grandfather, but giving it to her made her feel deeply valued. It meant she held a special place in Chiba's heart, equal to that of his grandfather.

And as for Peacock, the flirtatious troublemaker—Chiba hadn't shared the technique with her, proving she wasn't important to him. The more Hina thought about it, the more delighted she felt.

Happy, she reached for a cigarette from her pocket. Just as she was about to light it, she remembered Chiba's words about not liking the taste of smoke on her lips. Blushing, she tossed the cigarette into the trash and headed to Chiba's research room.

Chiba was already up, working at his desk. He had completed the first level of his Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength and awakened all 840 million particles in his body. The next step was to develop the giant elephant placenta. However, despite eight days of progress, even with sufficient energy, he was unable to form the placenta.

Chiba knew he had hit a barrier. For every skill, there are invisible barriers between each small realm—bottlenecks that must be broken to advance further. His current predicament was one such bottleneck.

But he wasn't worried. Over the past few days, he had requested Sengoku to gather information about other physically powerful individuals who had broken through similar barriers. Simultaneously, he had begun researching elixirs that could aid in mental clarity and enlightenment, which could be crucial in overcoming bottlenecks.

Time flew by, and soon it was spring of the following year.

One Morning

The sun rose over the sea, casting a golden glow. The water sparkled, reflecting the light in a breathtaking display.

Inside Chiba's lab...

[You have deeply analyzed the experiences of 800 physique masters during their breakthroughs, combined with extensive knowledge of human medicine, internal alchemy, and pharmacology. You have had a sudden realization and developed the Divine Grade Boundary Pill.]

[The human body often encounters obstacles during cultivation that hinder progress.]

[Different types of Boundary Pills can help practitioners overcome these issues, enabling them to continue their training. The effect is strongest with the first pill, but due to drug resistance, the effect is halved with the second, and the third pill is nearly ineffective.]

[Divine Grade Boundary Pill can break through all bottlenecks without causing drug resistance...]

"It's done, it's finally done! Hahaha!" Chiba laughed in triumph.

"After three months of hard work, it's finally complete. Hard work truly pays off."

For the past three months, Chiba had practically lived in his lab, neglecting even his appearance. His long black hair hung loosely around his shoulders, adding a wild and untamed look to his calm demeanor.

With the method for refining the Divine Grade Boundary Pill clear in his mind, he immediately set to work.

Ten days later, at dusk...

Chiba held three pills in his hand, his handsome face lit up with excitement. The pills were the size of longans, snow-white, and translucent, as if carved from the finest suet jade. Under the lab's bright light, they emitted a faint white glow, surrounded by a delicate fragrance reminiscent of osmanthus.

The scent was invigorating, clearing the mind and boosting energy. It even sharpened one's thoughts.

Chiba popped one into his mouth.

As soon as the pill dissolved, a warm, cool sensation spread through his body, flowing into his dantian and traveling through his veins, finally reaching his mind.

In an instant, Chiba felt his thoughts become clearer than ever. Ideas flowed freely, and every problem he had faced seemed to unravel itself.

It was as if a veil had lifted; everything became crystal clear.

The second level of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength unfolded in his mind. He felt the power radiating through his body and spirit.

In that moment, millions of particles began to evolve into the giant elephant placenta. These particles greedily consumed Chiba's physical energy. Quickly, Chiba grabbed the foundation-building liquid and drank it.

The immense life energy surged through him, nourishing the hundred thousand newly forming giant elephant placentas. They absorbed the energy, transforming it into pure innate qi.

Innate qi is the essence of life, the source of all things. It is an energy that can only be acquired by a baby while still in the womb. A single strand of this energy is enough to sustain a human for a century.

Those who master the art of preserving this innate qi can live past a hundred with vitality. On the other hand, those who waste it through extravagance and neglect might find their bodies aging prematurely, their bones weakening, and their energy fading as early as their twenties.

Chiba watched as the innate qi dissipated, feeling a pang of loss. He began to think about how to preserve this precious life force.
