The moment that the pill entered her mouth, Liu Mei could feel a violent type of energy suddenly erupting inside her, immediately filling her entire body!
At the same time, her aura which was clearly at the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul stage started to rise at an extremely rapid rate.
The black-robed old man, the old woman in red armor, as well as the middle-aged man whose eyes resembled those of a snake's, all looked at Liu Mei with eyes filled with incredulity.
In just a few moments, the aura coming from her body had already reached the peak of rank 1 in the Nascent soul stage, and yet it still showed no signs of stopping!
Early rank 2, middle rank 2, peak rank 2 of the Nascent Soul stage!
In the blink of an eye, Liu Mei's aura had already climbed to the peak of rank 2 in the Nascent Soul stage, but this was still not the end.
Under the disbelieving looks of the people around her, including the 3 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts, her aura 'broke through' to the early rank 3 of the Nascent Soul stage, until a few moments later, it eventually stabilized itself in the middle of rank 3.
Although this process seemed as if it had taken a while, in reality, it was completed in practically an instant.
This sudden 'breakthrough' had not only caused the old man in black robes to suddenly stop in his tracks and stare at Liu Mei with a look of wariness as well as shock and disbelief, but the disciples outside the city that were staring at this scene were also unable to believe their eyes, before they immediately exploded in fervent discussions
''How is this even possible? She advanced from the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul, all the way to the middle of rank 3 in just a few moments?''
''What- What kind of divine pill was that?''
''Wait! Does this mean that if we were the ones who consumed that pill, we would be able to breakthrough to the peak of rank 3... or perhaps even the early rank 4 of the Nascent Soul?''
As one person came to this conclusion, everyone suddenly turned their gaze towards the few rank 3 Nascent Soul stage experts in the alliance, before their eyes finally landed on the red-robed young man who was the only person at the peak of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul stage.
Despite everyone turning their gaze on him all at the same time, the red-robed young man didn't seem to care, as his eyes didn't move an inch from Liu Mei's figure on top of the Death Eater's back.
Finally, after a few moments of silence, he shook his head with a serious expression on his face, before he replied in a thoughtful tone
''It's not like that.
This is not a true breakthrough all the way to the middle of rank 3 in the Nascent Soul.

Rather, it's most likely only a temporary increase in her strength.
That pill probably increased that woman's cultivation to the middle of rank 3 temporarily and it will revert back to its real level after a while.
Of course, such a pill will certainly have immense negative effects, but it is definitely a godly pill in the end.''
It was obvious that although the young man didn't know many things about the pill that Liu Mei had consumed, his own knowledge was definitely up to par, and allowed him to instantly guess what was going on.
Indeed, this pill was a trump card that Shun Long had given to Liu Mei, and had exhorted her to only consume it if she was placed in a life or death situation without any other solution.
It was an enhanced version of his rank 4 'Blood ignition pill', and it temporarily increased the cultivation of a rank 1 Nascent Soul stage cultivator, allowing them to even fight against a rank 3 Nascent Soul stage expert head-on!
Of course, such a pill was not only extremely rare and valuable in the cultivation world, but it also had extremely severe negative effects.
The moment that a cultivator consumed this enhanced version of the 'Blood Ignition pill', they would only be able to fight at full strength for at most 3 hours.
3 hours later, they would feel their body lose all of their strength, becoming no different than ordinary mortals.
As for how long this situation would last for, Shun Long had already told Liu Mei that it could last anywhere from half a month to an entire month.
This meant that after consuming this pill, the moment that the 3 hour period was over, Liu Mei would be in a situation where she would be unable to use her own qi for at least half a month until the side-effects of the pill wore off!
Considering that this third test of the Holy sect originally lasted for an entire month and there were still 25 days left until it was over, being placed in a situation like that was extremely dangerous to Liu Mei who would be unable to use her own qi during that period of time.
And yet, this was also the only way for her to pass this third test.
After all, even after breaking through to the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul stage, Liu Mei knew that she wasn't strong enough to fight against a rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator head-on.
Even if she went all-out with the Death Eater and her undead army, it would still be impossible for the current her to match a normal rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
However, passing through the third test of the Holy sect wasn't the only reason why Liu Mei decided to take this risk today.
She also had 2 more goals in her mind, which would definitely increase her strength by leaps and bounds if they managed to succeed!
After all, there was one thing that she had wanted to test after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, and the 3 peak rank 3 Nascent Soul stage cultivators in front of her were the best testing subjects for it!
