#131 - Chapter 131: Seventh-grade elixir, refined for Ye Kong
Inside the medicine garden.
Yao Zidan, hunched over like an old farmer, carefully extracted the rare spiritual plants.
As if caressing a little white rabbit, he looked at the spiritual plants in his hand with reluctance.
Ye Kong sat in a rocking chair, watching Yao Zidan's actions with some helplessness.
Is it really necessary?
These spiritual plants seemed to be everywhere in the Desolate Forbidden Zone; I remember I even crushed quite a few before.
These spiritual plants were just like plantains in the Desolate Forbidden Zone.
Not to say they were all over the mountains and plains, but you could step on some every few steps.
As for how rare they were, Ye Kong couldn't see it.
Yao Zidan glanced back at Ye Kong, grinned, and threw all the spiritual plants into the pill furnace.
Then, he sat cross-legged, guiding with both hands, controlling the pill fire and spiritual plants, slowly refining them.
Ye Kong was starting to not understand Yao Zidan; if you're refining pills, then refine pills, why are you smiling at me?
Forget it, I'll take a nap first.
Ye Kong yawned, lay back in the rocking chair, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.
Refining pills is difficult to condense in a short time; it requires slow purification, removal of impurities, and control of the pill fire to extract the essence; there are many steps.
Refining a seventh-grade pill will be even more difficult.
For a long time, it might not even be possible to refine it in a year; for a short time, it would still take four or five hours.
Ye Kong closed his eyes and went to sleep.
Outside, all the peak masters had arrived.
A seventh-grade pill is no small matter.
If it's really refined, the impact will be huge.
Even they can't afford a seventh-grade pill; they're extremely envious.
"I'm afraid that even if Peak Master Yao refines a seventh-grade pill, he won't live much longer," Xiao Wu spoke the truth.
Luo Yangtian stood in front of Xiao Wu, silently warning him.
"Some things cannot be said carelessly," Luo Yangtian said in a deep voice.
Xiao Wu pouted and didn't say anything more.
In fact, everyone understood in their hearts that Peak Master Yao's days were numbered.
Refining a seventh-grade pill now will accelerate the loss of his life.
He might only live for three to five days at most after refining the pill.
They couldn't understand who Peak Master Yao was refining the pill for?
And it's even a seventh-grade one!
"He's probably refining the seventh-grade pill for Ye Kong," Chen Chunyang said softly, his voice not loud, but enough for the disciples below to hear.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Ruyan and Xiao Wu instantly understood.
The two of them looked up at the Sect Master, not knowing what to say.
Using Peak Master Yao's last moments to refine a furnace of seventh-grade pills for Ye Kong, and it might not even succeed, only relying on luck.
Is this... worth it?
"Why? Why does Ye Kong deserve to have Master refine pills for him?"
"Master's life is already short, and now he's refining pills for Ye Kong, isn't this killing him?"
"Sect Master, why is Master refining pills for Ye Kong?"
The disciples of Pill Peak raised their heads and questioned Luo Yangtian in the air.
"You want to refine a seventh-grade pill and become a seventh-grade alchemist, then I'll give you a hand."
After Ye Kong finished speaking, he waved his palm, and a stream of pure spiritual energy merged into the pill furnace.
He couldn't refine pills, but he could help others refine them.
With the fusion of Ye Kong's spiritual energy, the speed of merging the pills increased a lot, and Yao Zidan's expression also relaxed a lot.
Ye Kong sensed it slightly; the spiritual energy in this pill was still insufficient.
Yao Zidan's energy and blood were depleted; even if he fully urged it, he couldn't completely refine a seventh-grade pill.
Ye Kong had no choice but to increase his strength to fill this seventh-grade pill with spiritual energy.
Then, he took out a little bit of Xuan Huang liquid and injected it into the pill to strengthen it.
Ye Kong helped with the most difficult steps in refining the pill, so Yao Zidan refined it very easily.
The seventh-grade pill was slowly taking shape, with patterns appearing on it.
Yao Zidan narrowed his eyes slightly, gently clenched his palm, and the spiritual pill broke through the pill furnace and soared into the sky.
In the sky, dark clouds gathered, as if a lightning tribulation was about to descend.
This made many people completely dumbfounded.
"The pill is formed, and there will be heavenly lightning?" Everyone was stunned, not knowing what was happening.
"No, legend has it that only pills of the Danwen level will have a lightning tribulation descend, and pills that have been tempered by the lightning tribulation too much can reach 200% of their medicinal effect!" The chief disciple of Dan Peak said in a deep voice.
Everyone never expected that Yao Zidan could refine a pill of the legendary Danwen level.
If this pill were released, countless people would definitely come to fight for it.
"But, if the pill doesn't have enough spiritual energy, it will be destroyed by the lightning tribulation!" The chief disciple of Dan Peak continued.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the pill soaring into the sky and then sensed Yao Zidan, whose aura was weak.
"Can this pill withstand it?"
Everyone didn't dare to think about it; if it could withstand it, Yao Zidan would create history and be remembered for all time.
If it couldn't withstand it, he would suffer backlash and die on the spot.
At this moment, Yao Zidan was fully immersed in the pill furnace and didn't even know that his pill had flown away.
He was still controlling the pill and condensing the pill using traditional methods.
Ye Kong narrowed his eyes slightly, manipulating the pill in the sky with spiritual energy.
"Boom!"
A golden lightning tribulation descended with a bang, striking the pill.
The Danwen on the pill completely took shape, emitting a golden light.
"Divine pill! A divine pill is about to be formed!"
"Hiss, I've never seen this kind of pill in my life."
"If we could take it, could our cultivation directly break through?"
Many people were shocked, and in addition to the shock, there was also some greed.
No matter what the medicinal effect of this pill was, it would definitely be beneficial to take it.
This is a divine pill!
A seventh-grade divine pill.
After being tempered by the lightning tribulation, a fragrance of pills drifted throughout the entire Star River Sect.
When everyone smelled this fragrance, their divine sense became clear and their spirits were refreshed.
Even Luo Yangtian and the others were affected.
"Such a good pill; I really don't want to benefit that kid Ye Kong," Luo Yangtian thought to himself.
If he ate it, he would definitely be able to break through in a short time; then, he would truly have the strength to confront the Demon Music Palace head-on.
"Forget it; if you still haven't broken through after eating the pill, I'll beat you to death first!"
Luo Yangtian gave up the idea of snatching the pill and decided to leave the pill to Ye Kong.
Ye Kong used spiritual energy to guide the pill back to the pill furnace.
After heating it with pill fire again, the seventh-grade divine pill was condensed.
"Refining pills is so tiring; I can't do it anymore; I need to take a nap," Ye Kong leaned back in the rocking chair and closed his eyes to sleep.
He had helped refine the pill; the rest was just waiting for Yao Zidan to temper it once.
To protect the pill from being destroyed by the lightning tribulation, he had invested a large amount of spiritual energy.
The consumed spiritual energy couldn't be replenished by absorbing the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth; otherwise, the spiritual energy of the entire Star River Sect wouldn't be enough for him to recover.
As the pill returned to the furnace, Yao Zidan finally sensed that the pill had taken shape.
"It's done so quickly?" Yao Zidan was somewhat surprised.
Is a seventh-grade pill this easy?
