Chapter 567 Simultaneous Consumption of Three Grade Nine Mystic Pills
Of course, this was just a fleeting thought, and Xiao Yan immediately asked another, more crucial question.

"Ancestor Xiao Xuan, is there really Origin Qi in the cave of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe that can help one break through to the Dou Di realm?"

"I don't know if there is any Origin Qi in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave, but I do know that there is one thing inside: an Emperor-grade embryonic pill."

"A fledgling Emperor-grade pill?!"

"That is, an unfinished Emperor-grade pill. To refine an Emperor-grade pill, one must have Origin Qi. Therefore, an unfinished Emperor-grade pill may contain the Origin Qi needed to break through to the Dou Di realm."

"There's no doubt about it, it's true. I've been to the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave."

"Senior, you've been to the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave. Have you obtained that Emperor-grade embryonic pill?"

Lan Hong shook her head.

"When I tried to enter the cave, I was stopped by the projection of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. He wanted someone who could collect all the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and obtain the resources he left behind that could help them advance to the Dou Di level."

"How could this be? If someone like the Soul Emperor were to collect all the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade and become a Dou Di, wouldn't that be disastrous?"

"I told you before, the true form of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor is a strange fire. The struggle between humans is meaningless to him, so he doesn't care at all who opened the cave and took the Emperor-grade embryonic core he left behind."

"Since Emperor Tuoshe doesn't care who took the Emperor-grade embryonic pill, why did he still try to stop you, senior?"

"The reason is simple and interesting. If you set up the trap, would you want someone to break it by brute force instead of following your steps?"

"This……"

Xiao Yan was speechless, wondering if this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was really that strange.
"Xiao Yan, you don't really need to care too much about the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in your hand. If you have the opportunity to exchange it for your father Xiao Yan, don't hesitate."

Even if the Soul Emperor obtained all eight pieces of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, entering the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave to obtain the Emperor-grade embryonic pill would not be an easy task.

"Why do you say that?"

"Can't you even figure this out? What kind of power does a ninth-grade pill possess?"

Xiao Yan's eyes widened in disbelief as he said, "Senior, do you mean that the Emperor-grade embryonic pill already has the strength of a Dou Di?"

"He hasn't reached the level of a Dou Di yet, but he has the strength of a half-step Dou Di. Even the peak nine-star Dou Sheng of the Soul Heaven Emperor is no match for him."

If the Soul Emperor were to enter the cave of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe with the Void Devouring Flame, he would most likely be killed by that Emperor-grade embryonic pill.

Oh, and one more thing to tell you: both the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame were released from the ancient Tuoshe Emperor's cave by that Emperor-grade embryonic pill.

However, Emperor Tuoshegu had made prior arrangements, and their intelligence was erased after they left Emperor Tuoshegu's underground palace.

This led to their subsequent regeneration of sentience and their subjugation by the Soul Clan and the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

"From what you're saying, senior, many things on the Dou Qi Continent can be traced back to Emperor Tuoshe if you look into their roots."

"That's right, that's exactly it. After all, Emperor Tuoshe was the last Dou Di on the Dou Qi Continent, and the arrangements he left behind will naturally have a great impact on the entire Dou Qi Continent."

Xiao Yan, now that you know all this, what do you think is the best way to handle this?

Xiao Yan thought for a long time before speaking: "Use the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to save Father, then do nothing and watch Soul Emperor go to Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave to die."

Xiao Xuan shook his head.

"Your idea is good, but it's completely unrealistic. Money can be tempting, let alone the opportunity to advance to the Dou Di level."

Gu Yuan, Lei Ying, and Yan Jin will not let this opportunity pass. Once the Soul Emperor opens the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave, they will definitely go and get involved.

Although a half-step Dou Di is powerful, a nascent Emperor-grade pill is still just a pill, and alchemists have special ways to deal with pills.

With others involved, the Soul Emperor has a chance to obtain that Emperor-grade embryonic pill. Xiao Yan, do you think you can persuade those three old guys not to get involved in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave?

Xiao Yan fell silent once again. Faced with the opportunity to advance to Dou Di, there was no way he could dissuade him.

He now deeply understands what it means to feel powerless the more you know.

"Xiao Yan, you've had enough to digest. Now, it's time to focus on yourself and improve your own strength."

"Your current strength is not bad, but you are still too weak against a nine-star Dou Sheng."

"Senior, what should I do now? Please teach me."

"In the Medicine Clan's Pharmacopoeia, didn't you refine a Grade Nine Profound Pill? Now take it, and I'll help you refine its medicinal power, which should allow your strength to reach a higher level."

"Yes, I almost forgot about that."

Xiao Yan directly took out three Grade 9 Xuan Pills.

"Oh, Elder Wanhuo and Elder Shennong not only gave you the strange fire, but also these two grade nine Xuan pills. It's clear that they have high hopes for you."

"Yes, I can't let them down."

Looking at the three Grade 9 Profound Pills in his hand, Xiao Yan's resolve grew even stronger.

"You now have two choices: swallow all three Grade 9 Profound Pills at once. The combined medicinal power of the three Grade 9 Profound Pills should be able to push your strength to a higher level."

Of course, doing this is still very dangerous, and I can't guarantee you'll be safe.

Another option is to swallow them one by one, but doing so will waste a lot of the medicinal power of the last two Grade 9 Mystic Pills.

Make your own choice; I won't interfere.

Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Xuan, who didn't say anything but just nodded quietly.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I choose to swallow all three at once. In this situation, I have to take a gamble."

Even if I hand over the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, the Soul Clan might not let my father and me go. Strength is the key to rescuing my father.

“A wise choice. Let’s begin. I will protect you. Your time is limited.”

"Thank you, senior."

Xiao Yan bowed to Lan Hong, then sat down cross-legged and swallowed all three Grade 9 Xuan Dan pills at once.

The medicinal power of the three Grade 9 Xuan Pills quickly erupted in Xiao Yan's body. Xiao Yan's body simply could not withstand such violent medicinal power, and he showed signs of exploding and dying.

Lan Hong intervened to calm the violent medicinal effects on Xiao Yan's body, but only managed to prevent him from exploding and dying.

Despite the excruciating pain caused by the medicinal power of the pill impacting his limbs and internal organs, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and persevered.

Similarly, Xiao Yan's strength is also steadily increasing, having broken through the bottleneck of the five-star Dou Sheng and reached the level of the six-star Dou Sheng.

Early stage of Six-Star Dou Sheng, Middle stage of Six-Star Dou Sheng, Late stage of Six-Star Dou Sheng, Peak stage of Six-Star Dou Sheng.

"The medicinal power of the three Grade Nine Profound Pills is still considerable. Whether you can break through the bottleneck of the peak of the Six-Star Dou Sheng depends on yourself."
