Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 107 Imperial Extreme Pill and Douhuang Star Ascension Pill

In the art of alchemy, besides talent, resources also play an extremely important role.

Medicinal herbs, magic cores, medicine cauldrons, and prescriptions—all these are indispensable.

Without extensive experience in alchemy, it is difficult to improve the success rate of elixirs and advance to a higher level of alchemist.

Tempted by the prospect of rapidly increasing strength, Wuya and his companions collected enough materials in just over six months.

Most cultivators in the Izumo Empire are poison masters, and the medicinal herbs and other resources they use are vastly different from the materials needed for alchemists' prescriptions.

Moreover, since the Izumo Empire does not have any sixth-rank alchemists, the rare materials required for the Imperial Pill and the Breaking Sect Pill are mostly collected by forces such as Wuya, but they do not know how to use them.

After learning of its uses, Wuya and his men frantically ordered their subordinates to collect it, which is why they were able to gather the necessary materials so quickly.

Generally, alchemists have a failure rate when refining pills, so Xiao Yan naturally wouldn't just ask Wu Ya and the others to submit one set of materials.

Two servings are the minimum, with no upper limit.

Tiandu City, the current headquarters of the Poison Sect, is under extremely tight security.

Several powerful Dou Huang stood on the watchtower, their eyes scanning the surroundings like those of hawks.

Each of the four directions of the Poison Sect was guarded by a small team with several Dou Wang strengths.

Despite the fact that only a handful of forces within the Izumo Empire dared to cause trouble at the Poison Sect's headquarters given its current power, every Douhuang expert dared not be careless, considering whether their strength had changed significantly in recent years and the progress of their alchemy work in the building behind them.

Not only are they themselves serious, but they also urge the Dou Wang powerhouses in their respective areas not to be careless in the slightest.

Arriving at the Poison Sect headquarters' alchemy room from the mountain peaks outside the city, Xiao Yan glanced at the tables of materials submitted by Wu Ya and the others, and nodded with satisfaction.

With his current alchemy skills, about 90% of these medicinal herbs can be transformed into pills.

Taking out the fifth-tier medicine cauldron newly transported from the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao Yan took a deep breath, flicked his finger, and sent out a wisp of black and white flame into the dark red medicine cauldron.

Because this is a fifth-grade medicine cauldron of exceptional quality, the initial warming process takes longer than with ordinary medicine cauldrons.

However, given the strength of the strange fire that Xiao Yan possesses, it naturally wouldn't be that troublesome.

The black and white flames danced inside the medicine cauldron for only about two minutes before Xiao Yan waved his hand at a few medicinal herbs on a table. Instantly, a green medicinal herb was thrown directly into the medicine cauldron.

The recipe for the Imperial Extreme Pill had long been deeply imprinted in Xiao Yan's mind, and he even innovated by creating the Douhuang Ascension Pill.

Although Huangji Dan has excellent medicinal effects, it also has extremely high resistance.

A Dou Huang can only consume one Huangji Pill in their lifetime.

Xiao Yan delved deeply into the formula of the Imperial Pill and, using many rare medicinal herbs, created a new pill—the Douhuang Ascension Pill.

This Douhuang Star-Rising Pill is more potent than the Huangji Pill, capable of boosting a Douhuang expert's strength by one-hundred percent to three stars. Moreover, its effect on strengthening the bones and solidifying the meridians is greatly enhanced, thereby improving the user's cultivation aptitude.

Of course, with this significant enhancement of medicinal efficacy, the requirements for users have also changed.

To obtain the Douhuang Ascension Pill, one must possess the strength of a five-star Douhuang.

If an ordinary Dou Huang (Battle Emperor) takes this medicine, not only will it fail to increase their strength, but the violent medicinal power will also damage their meridians, turning them into a cripple.

Generally speaking, the research and development of new drug formulations requires many years of careful and meticulous experimentation.

Even a powerful alchemist like Master Yao spent several years experimenting with the Foundation Establishment Elixir before finalizing the formula.

However, Xiao Yan possessed exceptional comprehension and was able to deduce the effects of calcination and fusion based solely on the properties of the materials.

The ingredients used in the Imperial Extreme Pill and the Douhuang Ascension Pill are quite different, so the two pills can be taken together.

If a Douhuang-level expert knew about the existence of these two pills, he would definitely worship Xiao Yan as a god.

If you're lucky, the Imperial Pill will work its magic to boost your strength by two stars, allowing a three-star Dou Huang to advance to five stars. Then, with the added power of the Dou Huang Star-Up Pill, you'll boost your strength by another three stars, becoming an eight-star Dou Huang powerhouse.

This terrifying rate of improvement is a height that many people can hardly reach in their entire lives.

With such in-depth research on the Imperial Extreme Pill, Xiao Yan was very adept at refining pills.

As the flames continued to scorch, fine, jade-like water droplets seeped from the surface of the medicinal herbs, eventually sliding down the surface and hovering above the flames, constantly dripping and tumbling.

A moment later, the bright green color of the medicinal herbs faded completely, revealing a withered gray.

At this moment, the pure medicinal power contained within it had been completely forced out by the flames.

Therefore, the medicinal material itself was completely turned into a pile of useless waste.

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly grabbed the withered medicinal herbs, which were then flung out of the cauldron and fell to the ground.

The force was ordinary, but the moment it hit the ground, the medicinal herbs turned into a pile of ashes.

Most alchemists refine medicinal herbs by burning them completely, and Xiao Yan did the same when he first started refining medicine.

However, as he practiced alchemy more and his understanding of it deepened, Xiao Yan's control over flames reached a truly masterful level.

Even when manipulating the increasingly powerful fusion of four different flames, one can still throw it out of the cauldron the moment the medicinal power is completely exhausted, ensuring that the medicinal liquid is free of any impurities.

As the sun rises and the moon sets, and the moon sets and the sun rises again, thick beams of energy, each about ten feet in diameter, constantly shoot straight into the sky from the Poison Sect headquarters.

Little Fairy Doctor stood on a mountain peak outside Tiandu City, gazing at the strange phenomena in the city, her beautiful eyes narrowing.

Currently, the only sect in the Yunyun Empire capable of rivaling the Poison Sect is the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect. Given the series of changes that have occurred at the Poison Sect headquarters over the past few days, it's hard not to attract the attention of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

Although the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, Scorpion Mountain, had never witnessed the extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth when a sixth-grade pill was refined, he should have at least heard of them.

Even if they hadn't heard of the earth-shattering changes that had occurred at the Poison Sect headquarters in recent days, the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect would not be worthy of the title of the number one power in the Izumo Empire if it did nothing.

"It seems a great battle is inevitable." Little Fairy Doctor slowly clenched her jade hand, ready to fight off the invading enemy at any time.

Half a day later, just as Xiao Yan had recovered his fighting spirit and began refining the Breakthrough Pill, the air in Tiandu City suddenly became extremely stuffy. Some people with low strength turned pale and had difficulty breathing.

"Here it comes!" The boundless battle qi within Little Fairy Doctor's body burst forth like a floodgate being opened, causing her white dress to billow and rustle even without wind.

Just as Little Fairy Doctor was gathering her strength, a loud laugh came from the sky, echoing throughout the entire Heavenly Poison City.

"Poison Sect Master, hand over the sixth-grade pill!"
