1110. Elixir of Spiritual Ascension
There were many geniuses present, all of whom were exceptionally talented in the art of alchemy, which enabled them to reach the ninth rank.
However, Yao Lao and Xiao Yan are geniuses who are in no way inferior to them.
The young Yao Lao left the Yao Clan and ventured alone into the Central Continent. He not only won the Pill Refining Competition but also became the continent's most renowned alchemist.
Xiao Yan was in no way inferior to his teacher in terms of momentum. In what was possibly the most intense competition in history, he directly confronted the Spirit Clan and forcefully won the championship.
After his resurrection, Yao Lao had already been exploring his path to becoming a ninth-grade alchemist. His self-created Spirit Ascension Method was naturally exquisite, but due to the limitation of materials, it was completely insufficient at the ninth-grade stage. Therefore, Yao Lao had been pondering how to improve the Spirit Ascension Method so that it could be applied to ninth-grade pills.
At first, Yao Lao was indeed puzzled. It wasn't until Xiao Yan experienced the hundred lifetimes of reincarnation under the Bodhi Tree and truly demonstrated his potential to advance to the ninth rank that Yao Lao innovatively came up with the idea of fusing pills together, using the spiritual essence of one pill as a base to exchange for the spiritual enhancement of another pill.
Once a pill reaches the ninth grade, its materials are already of the highest quality. Simply using rare items as materials is not enough, but if it is another ninth-grade pill, it is definitely enough!
This idea is bold and quite difficult to achieve, since using medicinal power to enhance spiritual energy requires at least two pills that are not yet successfully refined. Moreover, the process must be carried out in sync as much as possible; if the two people's alchemy skills have core differences, it will not succeed.
However, Xiao Yan and Yao Lao were true master and disciple. Although Xiao Yan later had his own fortuitous encounters and even met a renowned alchemist like Huo Zhen for guidance, his fundamental alchemy skills always stemmed from Yao Lao. It was on this basis that Yao Lao's ideas became truly possible to be realized!
Therefore, Yao Lao deliberately had Xiao Yan choose the exact same pill formula as him and refine the exact same pills. This is why Xiao Yan was so excited when he saw the pill formula that Yao Lao had chosen for him, because this was an experience that Xiao Yan had never had before.
To ensure success on the first try, the master and apprentice deliberately controlled the pace of the refining process, making their speed significantly slower than others, even though they were also refining a ninth-grade precious pill. Now, however, they had finally reached the final step, and the method for enhancing the pill's properties was about to be put to its ultimate test.
"As we agreed before, you'll take control!" Without hesitation, Yao Lao handed over control of the pills he had refined to Xiao Yan.
They had already discussed this point. It wasn't that Yao Lao didn't want to complete the final pill formation, but rather that his strange fire was inferior to Xiao Yan's. If they wanted to achieve perfection, this final step had to be done by Xiao Yan.
Refining itself is Xiao Yan's greatest talent. He may not have original thinking or innovative methods of alchemy, but in terms of control and practice, Xiao Yan's ability can be said to be unparalleled!
This is the greatest advantage of having a powerful primordial flame and a powerful soul. As long as there is a way, Xiao Yan has the ability to accomplish it!
Amidst the vibrant, colorful flames of the Eight Desolate Star Lotus, Xiao Yan carefully controlled the two pills. At this moment, Xiao Yan even felt how similar the synergy between the pills was to his own fusion with the Fire Lotus.
"We must succeed!"
Xiao Yan had used the Spirit Ascension Technique more than once, his technique was skillful, gradually turning his own pills into nutrients, transforming them into strands of medicinal power. Meanwhile, the pill refined by Yao Lao was spinning, as if it were a truly living entity, constantly absorbing the medicinal power transformed from Xiao Yan's pills.
In mid-air, the terrifying dark clouds that had dispersed had barely been gone before they began to gather again because of Xiao Yan and Yao Lao's pill.
For some time now, the dark clouds in the sky have been coming and going, coming and going in a recurring cycle, leaving many viewers who were initially shocked to the point of becoming somewhat numb.
However, the powerful might of Heaven once again pressed down on everyone's hearts, telling them a fact: the second Grade Nine Profound Pill was about to be born!
Before Lei Qingyue could even sit back down on the platform, he saw the dark, cloud-covered sky again.
"Good lad, I didn't expect him to actually cause such a big commotion!" He had a vague feeling that something was wrong with Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, and it turned out that he was right.
The second round of pill rain fell again after Lei Qingyue's sigh. This time, many viewers were already experienced and knew to catch the falling pills carefully.
Especially Zi Yan, who had been watching from the sidelines for so long and had been craving it for just as long. Although it was impossible for her to actually get those ninth-grade pills and eat them, it wouldn't be a problem for her to eat some of the falling pill rain to satisfy her craving.
When this continuous rain of pills, carrying a rich medicinal fragrance, fell, it actually proved that the pill in Xiao Yan's hand had truly taken shape!
"Nine-grade Mystic Elixir, Pure Subtle Rejuvenation Elixir."
This elixir is entirely white, with a clear, flowing light, and its fragrance has the miraculous effect of bringing withered trees back to life. This elixir harnesses the power of nature, gathering the energy of endless life.
Xiao Yan looked at the pill, gently holding it in his hand, his eyes filled with the same fervor as when the Medicine Clan Chief had successfully refined it. This was the work he and his teacher had created together: a ninth-grade Xuan Pill!
Once you reach the level of a ninth-grade Xuan Dan, it truly deserves to be described as extremely rare, even across the entire continent!
Xiao Yan first entrusted the pills to Elder Yao, as his tasks were not yet finished. With so many ninth-grade pills appearing and countless lightning tribulations falling, Xiao Yan had long been itching to use the power of lightning to help him cultivate his soul power.
However, before the pills inside the cauldron were fully formed, there could be no disturbance. He could only watch helplessly as those bolts of lightning were wasted.
Now that the pills he had refined were finally successfully produced, he had to accept the pill lightning. No matter what, a ninth-grade pill lightning should never be wasted.
When Xiao Yan appeared and was about to face the descending Black Demon Lightning, Lei Qingyue immediately reminded him, "Lord Xiao Yan, be careful. The power of this Black Demon Lightning is not to be underestimated. You just finished refining medicine and you are quite exhausted. I can take the hit for you."
"Thank you, Elder Qingyue. However, I would like to test the power of this Black Demon Lightning myself. If I lose control of the situation later, I will ask you to intervene."
Having said all that, Lei Qingyue naturally couldn't say anything more and could only return to the edge of the platform. He also wanted to see whether Xiao Yan was overestimating himself or truly possessed the strength to face the Black Demon Lightning that had even put some pressure on him.
He muttered to himself, "He's only a three-star Dou Sheng, he can't possibly be that monstrous..."
