Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 313 The Mysterious Core Appears!

As everything in the Heavenly Tomb returned to normal, the memories of Xiao Li's wisp of soul imprint returned to his body!

In the ancient realm, in the open area of ​​the Ancient Sacred Mountains, Xiao Li was refining pills. In front of him, two black and white fire dragons were circling, and countless medicinal herbs were being gradually refined within these two fire dragons.

Xiao Li's actions surprised the ancient clan's alchemists. An extremely old man, leaning on a cane, watched Xiao Li refine pills, his cloudy eyes filled with astonishment.

"Incredible skill! Mr. Xiao's alchemy skills are so amazing. Normally, a ninth-grade alchemist uses fire as a cauldron to refine medicine, but he actually uses fire to transform into shape to refine medicine. This requires extremely high control over fire!"

Even the old men I know well can't be as relaxed and carefree as him. I reckon only the old man who makes pills can do it!

The old man who spoke was the chief alchemist of the ancient clan, named Gu Yi, a late-stage four-star Dou Sheng, and a master alchemist of the ninth-grade treasure pill!

Beside Elder Gu Yi was another old man who agreed with Elder Gu Yi's statement. This old man was another ninth-grade treasure pill refining master of the ancient clan.

Although the ancient clans do not have a ninth-grade Xuan Dan alchemy master, they have two Bao Dan masters, which is not bad. The Lei clan does not have a ninth-grade alchemist, but the Yan clan does have one.

Neither the Stone Clan nor the Spirit Clan has any ninth-grade alchemists; the Medicine Clan has the most ninth-grade alchemists!

"Elder Gu Yi, can you tell what kind of elixir Mr. Xiao is refining?"

Gu Yi frowned and stroked his beard, saying, "It's hard to say! But I can be certain that it's at least a ninth-grade precious pill!"

At this moment, Xiao Li suddenly stood up, then quickly formed hand seals and shouted, "Power of Heaven and Earth, heed my command!"

As Xiao Li's shout fell, a sudden gale arose in this world, and boundless energy from heaven and earth converged upon the two fire dragons.

The fire dragon continued to coil and absorb all the energy. Xiao Li also exerted his strength, using his battle qi to gather this large amount of heaven and earth energy into the fire dragon!

"Gathering the power of heaven and earth to refine pills... This technique... He actually intends to refine a ninth-grade profound pill!" Elder Gu Yi exclaimed in shock!

To refine a Grade 9 Profound Pill, one needs to absorb an enormous amount of heaven and earth energy. The heaven and earth energy within a radius of ten thousand miles of this Ancient Sacred Mountain Range is quite abundant. If one can absorb all the heaven and earth energy within a radius of ten thousand miles, one can refine a Grade 9 Profound Pill.

Given the size of the ancient realm, refining three Rank 9 Profound Pills at once should not be a problem!

Above the sky, the energy of heaven and earth formed a tornado, which entered the fire dragon's body. The two fire dragons, one black and one white, merged and eventually formed a single black and white fire dragon!

The fire dragon continued to coil and absorb the energy of this world! This endless absorption continued for seven whole days!

A tiny point of light began to slowly emerge from within Xiao Li's fire dragon body!

Just as those tiny specks of light appeared in the mist, the clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds, which loomed over the entire land. Black lightning, carrying destructive power, swiftly traversed through the clouds. The rumbling, deep thunder filled the ancient people present with horror. Such terrifying thunder was something they had never seen before in their lives.

Xiao Li raised his head, his face filled with fervor as he gazed at the dense black lightning in the sky! He then waved his hand, and the fire dragon changed again. A medicinal fragrance, so strong it seemed to linger, quickly spread out, eventually condensing into countless beads of different colors that rained down from the sky like a grand rain of pills!

"The rain of cinnabar descends, and the elixir of immortality emerges!"

Elder Gu Yi was moved to tears. As an alchemist, he was amazed to witness the birth of a ninth-grade Xuan Dan again in his lifetime!

Boom boom boom—

As the thunderclouds churned in the sky, the enormous fire dragon trembled violently, and then a beam of light shot out from its mouth. Within that beam of light, a ball of light resembling an egg could be faintly seen.

The enormous pillar of light extended directly into the thundercloud. The next moment, the thundercloud churned violently, and streaks of black lightning, like roaring black pythons, densely coiled around the pillar of light before fiercely blasting towards the light cluster of embryos within it.

Boom boom boom—

The sound could be heard throughout the entire Ancient Sacred Mountain Range. Some elders who were in deep seclusion came out of their seclusion to see what was happening.

Xiao Li gazed at the ball of light. This was the final step in the formation of a ninth-grade Xuan Dan. Unlike a ninth-grade Bao Dan, a ninth-grade Xuan Dan required the power of lightning to make it completely perfect.

With the power of this black demonic lightning, it will transform into a ninth-grade profound pill!

"I've finally taken this step!"

The lightning in the sky lasted for more than ten minutes before the ball of light finally cracked open, and a streak of light shot off, disappearing into the distance.

"This is a Grade Nine Profound Pill! It's trying to escape!"

At this moment, everyone in the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range was shocked, their greed evident in their expressions. The allure of the Ninth-Grade Profound Pill was irresistible, and few could remain calm.

"Hmph! Trying to run away?"

A purple-gold wing appeared directly behind Xiao Li. With a flap of the wing and accompanied by the power of wind and thunder, he caught up with the ninth-grade Xuan Dan in an instant.

"Is that a flight combat technique crafted from the wings of an ancient celestial phoenix? No! It's not a flight combat technique! It's more like it's grown onto your body!"

Some discerning elders looked at Xiao Li's wings and pondered.

After Xiao Li caught up with the Xuan Dan, it was in the shape of a child. However, Xiao Li didn't care and made a hand gesture. The child turned back into a pill the size of a longan!

"The Heaven-Melting Pill! Success! After taking it, it will at least allow me to reach the level of a six-star Dou Sheng!"

Xiao Li smiled and then put the Grade 9 Profound Pill into his pocket. As for those who wanted to take the Grade 9 Profound Pill? Heh, they're dreaming! In the entire Ancient Realm, apart from Gu Yuan, no one has ever been able to snatch a Grade 9 Profound Pill from him.

In terms of speed alone, the ancient phoenix wings on his back are no joke!

When Xiao Li returned to the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range, many elders of the ancient clans had already gathered there, addressing him respectfully as "Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Li simply smiled and then sat down on the ground to meditate.

"Was that the Core Formation Technique you just used, Old Monster Dan?"

Xiao Li looked to his side and saw that Gu Yuan had already stood next to him.

"Yes, the founder of the Pill Tower possessed a unique skill that could easily subdue a ninth-grade Profound Pill!"

Gu Yuan nodded: "That old Dan monster is truly amazing. He almost refined a ninth-grade golden elixir back then! Not only was his cultivation level comparable to mine, but he also possessed an Emperor-level soul. Unfortunately, he was too old and his physical body was somewhat weak, so he failed at the last moment."

Xiao Li nodded. He naturally understood the story of the founder of the Pill Tower. This person was the oldest among the five powerful figures a thousand years ago, an old monster who had lived for thousands of years.

This is the only peak powerhouse in the last few thousand years to die peacefully in his sleep!

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "With your skills, you could even compete with the old alchemist from the Medicine Clan."

Xiao Li waved his hand: "It's still far from perfect. This time it was just good luck, a lucky break."

Gu Yuan shook his head: "Luck is also part of strength. These are three Grade 9 Treasure Pills that my Gu Clan has discussed, plus my personal request that you refine a Grade 9 Profound Pill."

"I've already prepared the reward. If you want anything else, you can come with me to the ancient clan's treasure vault to get it. Over the years, my ancient clan has accumulated quite a few treasures."

Gu Yuan handed a scroll and several storage rings to Xiao Li, who then examined them with his soul power.

"Huh? I've never seen this ninth-grade precious pill before. Could it be a hereditary pill from an ancient clan?"

Gu Yuan nodded: "Yes, this Grade Nine Treasure Pill was created by the ancestors of the ancient clan and is specially suitable for people with high bloodline concentration, such as Qingyang and Xun'er."

If Xun'er were to consume this at the peak of the Nine Revolutions Dou Zun realm, combined with the Bodhi Pill, she could leapfrog the transitional realm of Half-Saint and reach Dou Sheng in one fell swoop! Furthermore, it would further enhance her bloodline, allowing her to cultivate even faster in the future!

Xiao Li nodded, thinking that it was indeed worthy of an ancient clan to have such a secret medicine. No wonder Xiao Yan had so many advantages, yet Xun'er was still able to catch up. It's really good to have a powerful backer.

Xiao Li wondered if he should go back and create some pills suitable for the young people of the Xiao clan.
