Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 56 Crystal Dragon Ball

A single Xuanlong Youhai Pill is nothing to a Taiyi powerhouse like Elder Xuyi. Taiwei's purpose was to let Elder Xuyi know that Bai Ying had suffered a severe injury.

Once this elder learns of Bai Ying's severe injury, he will surely send someone to deliver a great number of rare and precious materials. Taiwei is very much looking forward to the treasures accumulated by a Taiyi Grandmaster.

In the Tianying Treasure Vault, Taiwei first selected a round-bellied, three-legged alchemy furnace of good quality, put the few high-quality divine medicines into his pocket, and then left the treasure vault.

Upon arriving at the alchemy room of Tianying Palace, Taiwei shook his head upon seeing the dust-covered room. With a flick of his sleeve, he swept away all the dust, and a beam of fire flew out. Taiwei placed the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace on a specially carved fire eye of Taihu lava.

As the formation was activated, raging molten lava erupted and covered the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace. On the dome of the alchemy room, inlaid jade and gemstones shone brightly, and brilliant starlight merged into the molten lava.

As the Starry Sky Fire and the Great Fire Lava merged, a dark red Starry True Fire slowly rose, scorching the bottom of the Profound Yin Four Directions Furnace until it glowed slightly red.

"The True Fire that combines the power of heaven and earth, although of good quality, is ultimately inferior to the Bing-Ding True Fire."

Taiwei watched the burning Star-Melting True Fire. The crimson Bingding True Fire in front of him transformed into a fire lotus, completely engulfing the Star-Melting True Fire. As the True Fire burned, Taiwei threw several Azure Dragon Vines resembling swimming azure dragons and three Dragon Blood Fruits covered with cloud-scale patterns into the Profound Yin Four Directions Furnace.

Dozens of auxiliary materials were thrown into the treasure furnace by Taiwei one after another. Streams of pure pill energy emanated from the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace. Taiwei made a hand seal with his left hand, guiding streams of Bing Ding True Fire into the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace, where they began to burn the many spiritual materials and precious medicines inside.

Bright and dazzling five-colored smoke and clouds emanated from the holes on the lid of the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace. Taiwei flew to the top of the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace, where auspicious clouds gathered beneath him, and he sat cross-legged on top of the furnace.

Taiwei opened his mouth and inhaled, and the magnificent five-colored smoke from the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace below transformed into streaks of rainbows that merged into Taiwei's body, beginning to integrate into the Heavenly Dragon Tiger Great Pill, slowly restoring the depleted essence of Taiwei's natal Great Pill.

Half a month later, the five-colored smoke and mist stopped pouring out of the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace, and Taiwei's figure landed on the ground again.

The lid of the Xuan Yin Four Directions Furnace was opened, and Taiwei dispersed the countless black pill dregs inside. He then turned around, opened the door to the alchemy room, and smiled as he looked at Tianzhi and Tianyi standing at the door.

"Young Master Qi, Shenhe, Xuanchi, Feiyi, Taixu, and Qixu have agreed to the Young Master's request. The five Young Masters are currently gathering resources and have promised to deliver the rare and precious materials the Young Master needs in a hundred years."

Tianzhi lowered her head, not daring to look at Taiwei, whose eyes were gleaming. She felt that since her young master returned this time, his style of doing things had become more decisive and his eyes were more frightening than before.

"Young Master, Elder Xuyi instructed me to tell you to take good care of your injuries and also ordered me to give you this brocade box." Tianyi came to Taiwei and held up a gold-decorated ebony brocade box in her hands.

Taiwei opened the brocade box in front of him, and a dazzling light shone forth. A majestic and sacred aura emanated from the box, transforming into countless swimming dragon shadows.

Taiwei's expression changed, and a cold and domineering white tiger aura burst forth from his body, blocking the wisps of dragon energy that were crushing towards him. Meanwhile, the two maids, Tianzhi and Tianyi, who were both True Immortals, turned pale and fainted on the ground the moment the dragon energy appeared.

"This is truly a great gift! The actions of a Taiyi Realm expert are indeed extraordinary."

The brocade box, barely a foot long, floated in the air. In the center of the bright yellow silk cloth was a crystal dragon pearl, no bigger than a baby's fist, covered with a shimmering, glassy light, with a winding blue dragon swimming inside!

"With such spiritual energy, this is clearly the dragon pearl of a pure-blooded true dragon at the Taiyi realm. I never expected that Xu Yi would possess such a treasure."

Taiwei looked at the crystal dragon pearl in front of him, a look of joy on his face. A pure-blooded dragon pearl of the Taiyi realm, such a treasure was something that even Taiwei at the beginning of creation did not possess.

It wasn't that Taiwei couldn't kill a pure-blooded true dragon at the Taiyi realm, but rather that pure-blooded true dragons at the Taiyi realm were the absolute high-ranking members of the dragon race. If they died, given the nature of the dragon race, they would inevitably hunt Taiwei down all over the world.

Although Taiwei was not afraid, he felt it was not worth offending two top-level dragons for this. Ordinary pure-blooded true dragons at the Taiyi realm were of little use to Taiwei's main body.

However, Taiwei is currently only a Golden Immortal, and a dragon pearl from a pure-blooded true dragon at the Taiyi realm is a genuine treasure of heaven and earth for him.

If Taiwei wished, he could refine this Dragon Pearl into a supreme treasure acquired through gestation, or into a seventh-grade or even eighth-grade golden elixir. As for restoring the original essence of his own Heavenly Human Dragon Tiger Great Elixir, that would be a piece of cake.

However, using this dragon ball to restore Taiwei's own Celestial Dragon Tiger Elixir would be a waste of its potential, as the Celestial Dragon Tiger Elixir is far inferior to even a fraction of the power of this crystal dragon ball.

Taiwei looked at the crystal dragon pearl in front of him and stored it in his Celestial Dragon Tiger Pill. As a continuous stream of faint dragon energy rose, the depleted essence of Taiwei's Celestial Dragon Tiger Pill began to recover rapidly.

The primordial dragon energy emanating from the Crystal Dragon Pearl was enough to greatly accelerate the recovery speed of the Celestial Dragon Tiger Pill. Taiwei did not intend to use the Crystal Dragon Pearl to restore the Celestial Dragon Tiger Pill; he had a better way to deal with it.

Over the next century, the five young masters of the White Tiger royal family of the Divine River transported all the vast amounts of rare and precious materials from their treasure troves to the Tianying Palace in Taiwei. Overall, these rare and precious materials were of quite good quality. Although there were no top-grade divine medicines, there were still quite a few mid- to high-grade divine medicine materials.

The rare and precious materials bestowed upon these young White Tiger lords by the White Tiger royal family were actually determined based on their cultivation level. The individuals selected by Taiwei were all young White Tiger lords at the Golden Immortal level, and the treasures they possessed were all quite excellent.

Of course, they would never hand over the truly top-tier natural treasures to Taiwei, but Taiwei didn't care anyway, because no matter how you looked at it, he was guaranteed to win.

After all the rare and precious materials were stored in the Tianying Palace's treasury, Taiwei began his alchemy career.

In the alchemy room, Taiwei spent a full three thousand years refining. During these three thousand years, Taiwei refined all the rare and precious materials sent by the five White Tiger Young Masters, obtaining hundreds of fifth-grade and sixth-grade golden pills.
