Ethan Smith initially thought there were at most twenty pills, but to his surprise, the number exceeded his expectations.

“Twenty-eight, enough to help me reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.” Ethan tightened his fist, and his anticipation grew.

Without further delay, Ethan hurriedly swallowed the pills.

Ethan could only consume and refine the Qi Gathering Pills one by one.

He swallowed the first pill, then closed his eyes slightly to feel the gradual uncurling sensation of the pill in his body.

The pill went into his abdomen and seemed to explode!

Rich qi flowed through Ethan’s abdomen into his dantian, then slowly spread throughout his body.

In just two hours, a pill was completely dissolved!

Ethan stepped into the Sixth Layer of the Qi Refining Stage from the Fifth

Layer.

This made Ethan even more alarmed, and he didn’t dare to waste any time, quickly swallowing the second pill.

The second Qi Gathering Pill circulated even faster in Ethan’s body, disappearing almost instantly!

However, this time, Ethan frowned.

Because the second Qi Gathering Pill didn’t allow Ethan to step into the Seventh Layer of the Qi Refining Stage, his dantian didn’t even change in the slightest.

Ethan slowly opened his eyes, furrowing his brow, “Didn’t they say that every

Qi Gathering Pill could increase one’s level?”

Although Ethan had anticipated that the effects of the Qi Gathering Pills would diminish as his strength increased, he didn’t expect the effect at the Seventh Layer to be so weak.

“It seems there’s still a difference between rumors and reality.” Ethan thought to himself.

He didn’t rush to swallow the third pill, instead, he stared at the Qi Gathering Pills before him and fell into contemplation.

After a moment of thought, Ethan took a deep breath and decided to gulp down all the remaining Qi Gathering Pills in one go!

If he consumed and refined them one by one, it would take too much time.

“Taking more pills shouldn’t be harmful.” Ethan thought to himself.

With that thought, he opened his mouth and threw one Qi Gathering Pill after another into his mouth.

All twenty-six Qi Gathering Pills were swallowed by Ethan, and at that moment, he felt as if his stomach was about to burst!

Over twenty pills started taking effect simultaneously in his body, and Ethan’s body could hardly support it!

Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his lower abdomen was painfully cramped!

“Ah..” Ethan couldn’t help but open his mouth and let out a slight moan.

This pain was something Ethan had never felt before, his body shivered slightly, and the vision in front of his eyes slowly dimmed.

“No!” Just as he was about to faint, Ethan clenched his teeth and forced himself to stay awake.

He couldn’t help but think of Emily Taylor and the words she had said before leaving!

“I can’t fall like this.” Ethan clenched his teeth tightly, took a deep breath, and relied on his strong spirit to resist the pain!

The Qi Gathering Pills continued to explode in Ethan’s body, and the rich qi rushed into his dantian like a swarm.

Ethan endured the pain, desperately trying to stabilize his state of mind.

Finally, after more than half an hour, Ethan’s state of mind began to settle down little by little.

The pain seemed to have been adapted to, and even his trembling body began to stabilize.

At this time, a faint green light surrounded Ethan.

The light enveloped Ethan, isolating him from the outside world.

As the qi slowly flowed throughout his body, Ethan only felt the pain disappear, replaced by a warm current, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

Ethan sat cross-legged, his expression calm, as he fused the qi with every cell in his body.

In the blink of an eye, a whole day had passed.

The sky gradually darkened, and the outside was filled with stars.

Edward Green stood at the door of the room, his arms crossed, looking coldly around as if he were a guardian deity.

At this moment, a car approached from a distance.

The car came to a steady stop at the entrance of the villa, and a young man

with two lean men stepped out.

“Huh, the environment here is really nice.” The visitor was none other than Asher Lane and his followers!

He looked at the beautiful surroundings and hummed, “This Ethan Smith sure knows how to enjoy.”

“Yes, River City’s tiny place is quite suitable for Elder Hansen.” Asher’s follower also laughed.

Asher didn’t say anything else, his eyes turned to the direction of the villa, and he waved, “Let’s go, let’s visit this Ethan.”

As he said that, Asher led the men towards the villa.

Edward Green, who was standing at the entrance, quickly noticed Asher coming.

He immediately stepped forward, blocking Asher’s path.

“This is Mr. Smith’s private residence, unrelated people please step back.” Edward Green said coldly.

“How dare you! What are you to us, speaking to our Young Lord like this?!” Asher’s follower immediately yelled.

Asher waved his hand and smiled faintly, “We need to be polite, understand?”

After that, Asher looked at Edward Green and said with a smile, “I am here to negotiate important matters with Ethan George.”

Edward still had a cold face and said, “I’m sorry, but Mr. Smith is currently unavailable and not seeing guests, you can talk to me if you have any issues.”

Asher raised his eyebrows, his smile ambiguous, “This Ethan Smith, so pretentious.”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Smith is indeed busy.” Although Edward seemed polite, his tone carried a trace of threat.

“Kid, don’t be ungrateful!” At this point, Asher’s follower suddenly shouted angrily!

“Do you know who this is? He is the Young Lord of the Lewis Family from South City, Asher Lane!”

Hearing this name, Edward’s face changed slightly.

Obviously, he had heard of Asher Lane’s name.

“So it’s the Younger Lord of the Lane Family.” Edward’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Young Lord Lane, I’m sorry, but Mr. Smith really can’t see you at the moment. Why don’t you wait, and I’ll inform him when he’s done?” Edward said, bowing slightly.

Asher raised his eyebrows and sneered, “I came all the way from South City to see him, and he’s making me wait? Is this how you treat guests?”

Edward said awkwardly, “Young Lord Lane, Mr. Smith really has something..”

“Enough!” Asher’s follower interrupted with some displeasure. “Get out of the way, or don’t blame us for being impolite!”

Edward’s face immediately turned ugly.

As an Inner Strength Expert, he naturally knew about the fame of the Lewis Family in South City.

Edward knew very well that he was no match for these men! The first reveal of this chapter happened through n(0)vel(b)(j)(n).

But before Ethan started his retreat, he said that no one should disturb him!

Thinking of this, Edward braced himself and stepped forward. “Young Lord Lane, please come back another day.” Edward spoke firmly..
