Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

Xiao Yang has not even considered ninth-grade pills.

He hasn't even reached the Heavenly Realm in the Soul Realm, and his cultivation is only at the Dou Zong level. How could he possibly refine a ninth-grade pill so quickly?

To refine a ninth-grade elixir, a Celestial Soul is the most basic requirement.

Because the spiritual energy of ninth-grade pills is much stronger, they can only be formed by using one's soul to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to integrate into them.

To achieve this, one must reach the Heavenly Realm in the realm of the soul.

In addition, the requirements for fighting spirit are also very high for ninth-grade pills.

Even with the help of the Fusion Elixir Technique, it would be very difficult for Xiao Yang to refine it if he did not reach the ninth level of the Battle Venerable realm or even the Half-Saint realm.

Therefore, the ninth-tier magic core is not needed in the short term.

It's more worthwhile to farm some medicinal herbs rather than get the ninth-tier magic core reward.

After all, many medicinal herbs are readily available now.

For example, Moonflower and Zongyuan Fruit are two of the main ingredients of Zongying Pill.

Once you obtain the medicinal materials, you can either refine them directly or cultivate them using the division method.

Or the reward of ten eighth-level magic cores can be used very quickly.

That's why Xiao Yang specifically refreshed the rewards.

Next, he created another task.

[Task: Raise the proficiency of Grade 8 pills to Mastery. Reward: Advanced Alchemy Talent +1, 10,000 medicinal fields, Alchemy Technique Proficiency +3, 3,000 random high-grade medicinal herbs.]

Seeing that the mission rewards didn't include a complete guide to ninth-grade pills, Xiao Yang couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

As expected, just as I thought, the complete guide to Rank 9 pills would likely require me to improve my proficiency in Rank 8 pills to perfection before I could obtain it.

However, the other rewards are very generous.

There are three thousand high-grade medicinal herbs alone.

Although it wasn't as many times as when I became an eighth-grade alchemist, it was still pretty good.

After all, it's just a reward for achieving great success.

As for the ninth-grade elixir formula...

With Xiao Yang's current talent in alchemy, he only needs to refine one hundred grade eight pills to achieve perfection.

This is without any self-improvement, relying solely on system tasks.

With Xiao Yang's current comprehension, improving his proficiency by three to five points shouldn't be a problem.

Seeing that he could reach perfection with a little more skill in alchemy, Xiao Yang casually created a task.

[Task: Raise your alchemy proficiency to Perfect. Reward: Ascension Technique.]

Looking at the mission rewards, Xiao Yang was momentarily stunned.

Isn't this the alchemy technique created by the old master himself?

He remembered that Xiao Yan had used it in the original novel.

It seems that you can use Pregnancy Spirit Powder to forcibly improve the quality of pills.

For example, upgrading the three-colored Dan Lei pill to the level of five-colored Dan Lei.

I just don't know if this spirit-ascension method is the same as the one used by the old doctor.

However, Xiao Yang was too lazy to think about it too much.

Anyway, he'll get it soon, and he can see for himself then.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang took out another batch of Zongying Pill ingredients.

He put all the medicinal herbs into the Heavenly Profound Cauldron at once.

The primordial fire was also poured into it.

……

Soon, dark clouds gathered in the sky again.

Xiao Yang arrived at the Heavenly Profound Cauldron with practiced ease.

Three waves of different colored lightning struck, but Xiao Yang suffered virtually no damage.

There was still something left to say in his eyes.

After his physical body reached the eighth level, the effects of the Three-Colored Thunder Pill diminished considerably.

This amount is not enough for him to absorb.

As the pill lightning subsided, the familiar fragrance of pills emanated from the Heavenly Profound Cauldron.

A system notification sound also came to Xiao Yang's mind.

[Task: Refine one Zongying Pill. Reward: 10 Yueying Flowers, 10 Zongyuan Fruits, +1 to Grade 8 Pill Proficiency. Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang did not accept the pills immediately, but instead put them away first.

Otherwise they might run away.

After carefully storing the Zongying Pill, Xiao Yang then accepted his reward.

The system notification sounded again the next moment.

[Task: Raise the proficiency of Grade 8 pills to Mastery. Reward: Advanced Alchemy Talent +1, 10,000 Herb Fields, Alchemy Technique Proficiency +3, 3,000 random high-grade medicinal herbs. Completed. Claim reward?]

Xiao Yang only came to his senses after he had grasped the insights gained from the eighth-grade elixir.

Without hesitation, he claimed the reward again.

The system notification sounded for the third time.

[Task: Raise your alchemy proficiency to Perfect. Reward: Ascension Technique. Completed. Claim reward?]

Looking at the mission rewards, Xiao Yang couldn't help but lick his lips.

If it's the Spirit Ascension Technique, I wonder if it could make the Zongying Pill refined using the Fusion Pill Technique even more powerful.

"Claim your reward!"

The next moment, another white scroll appeared in his system space.

Xiao Yang took it out rather impatiently.

The scroll is entirely white, with three large golden characters on its edge: "Ascension Method".

Xiao Yang opened the scroll directly and looked inside.

Upon seeing the contents, Xiao Yang was momentarily stunned.

Immediately afterwards, a look of wild joy flashed across his face.

Bad news: This ascension method is different from that of the Medicine Master.

Good news: This spirit-ascension technique is even more powerful than the one used by the old medicine master!

The old medicine master's ascension ritual requires the help of spirit dust.

However, this ascension method does not require this.

All you need to do is forcefully infuse a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the pill.

In other words, it can be done without using prenatal dust.

It's important to know that the dust from the pregnant spirit is extremely rare.

Because the method for refining the powder for pregnant women has long been lost.

Therefore, most of the prenatal dust used today is from ancient times.

Chapter 327 The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire

Because the Pregnancy Spirit Powder itself is not considered a pill, Xiao Yang did not have a method for refining it.

Pregnancy powder has many uses.

It can be integrated into the soul, increasing the spiritual energy content within the soul and allowing the soul to break through to the spiritual realm as soon as possible.

It can also be added when refining grade eight pills, which can increase the success rate of grade eight pills.

Moreover, incorporating the Pregnancy Spirit Powder can further improve the quality of Grade 8 pills.

The old medicine master's method of spiritual ascension utilizes the spiritual energy within the spiritual dust of the spirit-nurturing powder to elevate the spirit of the elixir.

The spirit-ascension method provided by the system is even more powerful.

You can directly upgrade the spirit of the pill without the help of spirit-nurturing powder!

The system's method for enhancing spiritual energy isn't difficult; it simply involves gathering a large amount of spiritual energy and integrating it into the elixir.

However, the ascension method provided by the system has some limitations.

It can only be used if Xiao Yang's soul realm reaches the Heavenly Realm.

After all, without reaching the Heavenly Realm, one cannot gather enough spiritual energy to integrate into the elixir.

This caused Xiao Yang some distress.

It was as if he and Little Fairy Doctor were about to begin their cultivation when she announced that a relative had arrived.

Xiao Yang simply stored the Ascension Technique in the system space, hoping to avoid seeing it altogether.

Next, Xiao Yang planted the medicinal herbs he had just received into the medicinal field space one by one.

While planting, Xiao Yang couldn't help but think that after he went to Zhongzhou and went to the Dan Tower, he could also look for the Pregnancy Spirit Dust.

There are many alchemists and medicinal herb trading places in Danta.

Xiao Yang has a large number of pills stored on him, which he can trade for later.

If he can obtain some Spirit Dust, he can create a quest that might reveal the method for refining Spirit Dust.

If he gets it, Xiao Yang will be rich.

At that time, he could refine a large amount of Spirit Powder to trade with other alchemists and obtain a large amount of high-grade medicinal materials and seeds.

Moreover, going to the Pill Tower might even allow one to trade pills for the Unbound Beetle.

If you have enough Grade 8, Nine-Colored Pills, you might even be able to trade for Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques.

Just then, Xiao Yang suddenly thought of something!

I've always wanted to go to Danta to see if I could trade for some good items.

However, there is actually another good thing in the Northwest!

That was the Heavenly Fire Three Transformations that Xiao Yan traded for at the Alchemist Association in the capital of the Gama Empire!

He hadn't even thought about it before.

It was only now, thinking about these transactions between the Pill Tower and the alchemists, that I remembered this matter.

The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire was actually originally a secret technique of the Xiao family, or rather, the Xiao clan.

In fact, the clan emblem of the Xiao tribe was carved using the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire.

The clan markings of ancient imperial families have many effects.

Not only can it enhance strength and potential, but it also has virtually no side effects!

The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire is a secret method to enhance one's strength.

However, it requires a different kind of fire to unleash its full potential.

Xiao Yang's primordial fire absorbed the essence of the fire, and thus...

If Xiao Yang obtains the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire, his strength will surge once again!

After all, the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire can be used for more than just what's currently available.

As long as Xiao Yang's primordial fire is strong enough, the Three Transformations of Heavenly Fire can play a significant role even after he reaches the level of a Battle Saint.

I didn't think of it before, but now that I do, I definitely have to get it.

After all, Xiao Yan is not like he was in the original novel. He is weak and Yao Lao is still in a deep sleep. He needs to go to the capital to find medicinal herbs to restore his soul power.
