Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

With a thought, his main body and two clones entered the Tower of Strange Fire.

The internal environment of the Strange Fire Tower is very different now compared to before.

The tower of strange fire was filled with endless fog.

These are all energy mists formed from the excessive concentration of energy in the heavens and earth!

Some weaker cultivators might even die here due to the excessively high energy density!

However, for those cultivators who can endure it, this place is simply a man-made holy land!

The reason Xiao Yang hadn't done this before was mainly because his efficiency in absorbing poisons or engaging in dual or triple cultivation with Little Fairy Doctor and Medusa was much higher than in this environment.

The main purpose of this is to create a suitable environment for alchemy.

Xiao Yang took a deep breath and took out the Heavenly Profound Cauldron and a large amount of medicinal herbs.

Countless medicinal herbs were seen floating around Xiao Yang.

These medicinal herbs add up to tens of thousands of plants!

Many of them are top-grade medicinal herbs.

High-grade medicinal herbs were densely packed together!

With a thought from Xiao Yang, the Heavenly Profound Cauldron began to grow larger and larger.

Countless medicinal herbs flew into it.

Xiao Yang himself did not make a move immediately.

The two clones were the first to make a move.

There's no need for the clones to communicate, since they're all the same person, Xiao Yang.

The clones are also controlled by his consciousness.

The two clones arrived on either side of the Heavenly Profound Cauldron, one on the left and one on the right.

The sub-fire of the primordial fire surged from within the clone and poured into the Heavenly Profound Cauldron.

Tens of thousands of medicinal herbs were directly enveloped by the primordial fire.

Although there are many medicinal herbs, and they are very precious, with Xiao Yang's current fire control ability, refining them at the same time is not a problem at all.

It's okay even if it's destroyed.

What he has no shortage of now is medicinal herbs.

He has all the medicinal herbs that have ever appeared on the Douqi Continent!

Moreover, even top-grade medicinal herbs are not given in whole quantities!

The terrifying primal fire enveloped every single medicinal herb.

As Xiao Yang's spiritual power swept over, the primordial fire around each medicinal herb began to change.

The primordial fire around medicinal herbs of different properties also exhibits different properties.

Even Xiao Yang felt a bit of pressure on his soul under such micro-management.

However, it was only a tiny bit.

After all, his soul realm had already reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.

Each medicinal herb is thus extracted into different essences.

These highlights are arranged in different orders.

Even Xiao Yang spent two days refining these medicinal herbs.

Moreover, a lot of fighting spirit was also consumed.

The Dragon Soul Pill recorded in this Dragon Transformation Manual requires a great many top-grade medicinal materials.

It also contains the magic cores of nine-tiered dragon-type magical beasts.

It's extremely difficult to extract!

If Xiao Yang were to refine the herbs when he was a semi-saint, it might be difficult to even extract all the medicinal ingredients!

Chapter 490 The Rain of Crimson Descends!

One by one, the essences of medicinal herbs began to blend together.

Xiao Yang was very careful in the refining process.

Unlike before, he did not combine all the medicinal herbs' essence in one go.

This was, after all, his first time refining a ninth-grade Xuan Dan.

Before each batch of medicinal essence is blended, Xiao Yang will use his soul power to sense the medicinal properties and potency within it.

Only when he is certain that the medicinal properties are suitable will he blend it with the essence of other medicinal herbs.

With the help of the primordial fire, the essence of each medicinal herb was perfectly blended together.

Gradually, under Xiao Yang's manipulation, the surrounding energy began to continuously merge into the essence of those medicinal herbs.

Why is it so difficult to refine ninth-grade elixirs?

This is because not only must one be highly skilled in alchemy, but one must also have a profound understanding of the energy of heaven and earth.

A ninth-grade elixir requires not only the fusion of medicinal materials, but also the fusion of a large amount of surrounding natural energy.

This is why ninth-grade elixirs have high environmental requirements.

The ninth-grade precious pill is alright, but the ninth-grade profound pill requires a huge amount of energy.

If they weren't inside the Strange Fire Tower, Xiao Yang could control the tower's energy to continuously gather here.

In reality, he might need to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles!

If the refining of a pill of the ninth grade, the Xuan Dan, fails, it will also cause loss to the world.

After the Ninth-Grade Mystic Pill is successfully refined, a rain of pills will fall, which can nourish heaven and earth.

Even if the elixir fails to help the person transcend the tribulation, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) will be replenished.

It might even be more concentrated.

However, if the refining process fails, the surrounding energy of heaven and earth will have to wait patiently to recover.

Xiao Yang even suspected that the reason why the energy of heaven and earth in the Northwest Continent was so different from that in the Central Plains was very likely due to the fact that the ancient emperor Tuoshe had refined an emperor-level elixir ten thousand years ago.

The Emperor-grade pill inside the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave was merely a failed, unfinished product.

The amount of energy from heaven and earth required for a ninth-grade Xuan Dan is terrifying.

The Golden Elixir may even require mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of tens of thousands of miles!

How terrifying would the amount of energy from heaven and earth required for the Imperial Pill be?

Xiao Yang learned quite a bit of information from the insights he gained from the Emperor-grade pills he obtained.

A single imperial-grade pill can indeed absorb the energy of heaven and earth from the entire Northwest Continent.

Of course, a successful refining process will also benefit the world.

However, if it fails, it will take a very long time for the energy of an entire continent to recover.

If the Douqi Continent hadn't been sealed, the recovery might have been faster.

However, the Dou Qi Continent is now sealed by the ancient Dou Emperor to prevent the invasion of extraterrestrial demons.

Even the source energy cannot get in.

Therefore, if the refining of an imperial-grade elixir fails, it may take countless years to recover.

The Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave is also located in the northwest continent.

Xiao Yang estimates that this is very likely the reason why the energy of heaven and earth in the Northwest Continent is so scarce.

……

And just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye.

Only the last essence remained inside the Heavenly Profound Cauldron.

Xiao Yang began to incorporate the essence of the nine-tiered dragon-type magic core into it.

Energy continued to flow in from the surroundings.

The energy surged into the Heavenly Profound Cauldron and was purified by Xiao Yang's primordial fire, directly transforming into pure liquid energy!

Gradually, the liquid energy inside began to decrease rapidly.

At the center of those liquid energies, where the essence of the medicinal herbs originally resided, a tiny point of light began to slowly emerge.

……

outside world.

The area above, illuminated by the silver light, was instantly covered with dark clouds.

Boom!

Many of the ancient dragons of the Void showed no surprise at this scene, only a numb expression.

In their view, it must be the human alchemist brought back by the Dragon Emperor who is refining the ninth-grade precious pill again.

The dark clouds above the secret chamber where Xiao Yang was located...

Terrifying streaks of black lightning continuously swirled within the dark clouds.

Xiao Yang, inside the Strange Fire Tower, also sensed something.

He opened the lid of the Heavenly Profound Cauldron, and a rich fragrance of elixir wafted out.

These fragrant pills actually began to transform into pills of different colors, which fell into the Strange Fire Tower!

At this moment, a shower of crimson rain appeared inside the Strange Fire Tower!

Seeing this, Xiao Yang's face also showed a hint of joy.

A rain of cinnabar descends, and the elixir of immortality emerges!

It seems like it's worked this time!

Ta-da!

Ta-da!

The rain of crimson petals fell into the strange fire tower, producing a crisp sound.

Although these are somewhat similar to elixirs, they are not true elixirs in themselves.

However, even so, these pills are formed from pure energy.

After ingestion, the energy inside is very easy to absorb.

For some cultivators at a lower level, consuming more of it and absorbing its energy can be just as effective as taking elixirs.

Most importantly, although these pills appear to be medicines, they are essentially very pure energy.

In other words, these pills can be absorbed indefinitely!

These pills can help cultivators at a low level to quickly improve!

With a thought from Xiao Yang, these pills automatically gathered together.

He planned to take these pills back to the Xiao family.

It just so happens that many members of the Xiao family are still at a relatively low level of cultivation.

Even with Xiao Yang's help, many members of the Xiao family, both young and old, are now only good at fighting spirits.

There's no way around it; the Grand Master stage can be skipped quickly.

However, there aren't that many pills that can improve one's cultivation level at the Spirit Fighting stage.

Moreover, Xiao Yang's rise to power was short-lived.

The number of powerful members in the Xiao family has not yet increased.

Furthermore, in Xiao Yang's view, it would be better to wait for him and Xiao Yan to break through to the Dou Di realm than to let the Xiao family members cultivate.
