Douluo Continent: A Man of Unparalleled Talent and Heaven-Defying Comprehension

Chapter 143 The Great Rejuvenating Pill, Soul Power Soars! (Seeking monthly votes!!!)

After getting some information from Feng Kuang, Huo Yuhao decided not to go back for the time being.

Instead of settling down within four months, the Sun Moon Empire seemed to have just begun to intensify.

After Xu Tianran came to power, he did not seek stability. Instead, he waged wars against foreign powers, clashing with the two great empires of Xingluo and Tianhun, and even swallowing up a large part of Tianhun Empire's territory.

Tianjia City has truly become the front line.

"Wasn't Xu Tianran already deeply entrenched in power before he took office? Why did he fail to consolidate his position after taking office and instead act so rashly?"

Huo Yuhao did not understand Xu Tianran's behavior.

While carrying out a massive internal purge, Xu Tianran also launched a series of wars.

This led to the simultaneous outbreak of internal and external conflicts. Although the Heavenly Soul Empire seemed to have achieved considerable success, the internal situation of the Sun Moon Empire was somewhat severe.

Two princes rebelled, leading a Soul Master Corps of several thousand men to recruit soldiers within the Sun Moon Empire, and even several members of the royal bloodline were supported by them.

"I guess they want to solidify it more thoroughly," Su Yu said.

Understanding Su Yu's subtext, Huo Yuhao gasped.

Does Xu Tianran intend to kill everyone who has disloyal intentions?

Not only the princes of royal blood, but also the nobles within the empire who are dissatisfied with Xu Tianran, will be purged.

"The Sun Moon Empire is powerful, and Xu Tianran is well aware of this. Knowing that he can't be defeated by playing around, he will naturally do whatever it takes to be ruthless."

Su Yu was aware of the Sun Moon Empire's strength.

Huo Yuhao didn't seem to understand the power base very well, and he couldn't imagine the scene of a pile of level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells.

Since the Sun Moon Empire is still in turmoil, Huo Yuhao naturally will not return.

During their four months on Phoenix Continent, the two did not neglect their cultivation. They harvested numerous spiritual herbs and medicines, but did not consume them; instead, they increased their soul power by one level.

"Let's find a place to process this harvest first. With so many spiritual herbs and medicines, let's refine them into pills to maximize their effects."

The most suitable place for alchemy is naturally the Xuanming Sect, which has only recently gone into seclusion.

The Xuanming Sect is the place where Xuan Shui Dan is refined, and its conditions for refining pills are top-notch.

Of course, it certainly can't compare to the configuration used by Huo Yuhao in the original novel to refine the Qiankun Creation Pill.

But it's enough for practicing.

First, try refining pills with some low-grade spiritual herbs and medicines. Once you've mastered the technique, then refine high-grade spiritual herbs into pills.

"You're in luck this time, kid. Cultivating the ultimate martial soul is most difficult between levels 30 and 70. This harvest, when refined into pills, will not only rapidly increase your soul power after you consume them, but the precipitated medicinal power will also accelerate your future cultivation speed."

When Su Yu refines pills, he naturally doesn't create pills that forcibly stimulate potential. Instead, he tries to maximize the medicinal power of the herbs, especially preserving the properties that strengthen the body's foundation.

Xuanming Sect.

"What brings you two to my Xuanming Sect again?"

When Xu Yang received Su Yu and his companion again, his tone was not particularly warm.

Although they have tacitly agreed to the deal with the Sun Moon Empire, it does not mean that they have no prejudice against the Sun Moon Empire.

This so-called cooperation was ultimately agreed upon through threats.

"Sect Master Xu, Yuhao and I obtained some medicinal herbs by chance and need to refine them into pills. We heard that your sect is quite famous for refining the Profound Water Pill, so we thought that the pill refining equipment here must be the best in the Douluo Continent."

Xu Yang snorted coldly.

"My Xuanming Sect has gone into seclusion and no longer engages in any affairs except for those necessary for the daily operation of the sect."

"Sect Leader Xu, don't be in such a hurry to refuse!"

Su Yu took out a spiritual herb that looked very much like a snake.

Xu Yang's gaze was instantly drawn to the spiritual medicine in Su Yu's hand, and his breathing quickened.

"Is this snake-shaped Ganoderma?"

Many snake-type spirit beasts died, and their souls were devoured by Ganoderma lucidum. By chance, they had the potential to become snake Ganoderma lucidum, which had an excellent effect on stabilizing the foundation of snake-type martial spirits.

Especially for the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul of the Xuanming Sect, although it can awaken a phantom snake soul through the awakening ceremony and thus briefly enter the awakened state of Xuanwu, it is ultimately not stable.

If one can consume this snake-spirit mushroom, the snake soul will be stabilized, and perhaps this awakened state can be completely stabilized.

"Yes, it's a pity that it has become a soul beast, and it only has a thousand years of cultivation. When we killed it back then, its spirituality has been constantly being lost."

Xu Yang then noticed that the snake spirit grass had a dim spiritual energy, and there was a faint glow flickering at its roots.

Every time the screen flickered, Xu Yang felt a pang of heartache for a second.

Each flicker signifies the dissipation of spiritual energy from within the snake-shaped Ganoderma lucidum.

"How long do you need to borrow it?"

Xu Yang directly asked Su Yu and the other person how long they wanted to borrow the alchemy furnace.

Clearly, the snake-shaped Ganoderma lucidum is enough to serve as payment for this.

"It's not much, and it will definitely be returned within six months."

Alchemy is a time-consuming process, and since Su Yu and his companion were both novices, they were unsure how long it would take to refine all the spiritual herbs they had into pills.

So I simply rented it for six months.

Xu Yang did not refuse Su Yu and his companion's request because of the snake spirit mushroom. Although it would delay the refining of the sect's Profound Water Pills, each batch of Profound Water Pills was refined every four months. With a little adjustment, freeing up the alchemy room for half a year was still achievable.

Su Yu took out the medicine manual he obtained from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and began to study the pharmacological combinations within it.

He had memorized the medicinal properties of the herbs beforehand, but he had not studied the combination of medicinal properties and pharmacology in detail.

Huo Yuhao had no idea what the alchemy manual in Su Yu's possession was all about, so he assisted Su Yu in refining pills using the manual in the alchemy furnace.

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed.

"Tsk tsk, finally it looks different."

Su Yu lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace and looked at the perfectly round and full pills inside, which radiated a spiritual glow and emitted a rich fragrance. He smiled with satisfaction.

It wasn't that he only managed to produce this one finished product in a month.

This time, however, the finished product satisfied him the most, and it was the first time it met his standards.

If, in alchemy, the medicinal properties cannot be perfectly activated after refining, so that the effect is more than twice that of direct ingestion, then it is better not to refine the pill at all.

"Yuhao, try this time the Qi-Nourishing Pill."

There were more than ten intact finished pills in the huge alchemy furnace. Su Yu took one out and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao took the pill and swallowed it directly.

He experienced both pain and joy during that month.

After refining a large number of pills, his soul power directly increased by one level.

As for the impurities and toxins in the pills, since they had just accumulated in his body, they were all purified by the purifying power of Su Yu's second soul skill.

However, the purification process is somewhat painful.

But the feeling of rapidly increasing soul power was still very enjoyable, and Huo Yuhao had no complaints.

An hour later, Huo Yuhao opened his eyes.

"Brother Yu, this batch of pills has almost no impurities. As for the improvement in soul power, perhaps I took too much, so the effect is not as good, but it is still better than last time. If we compare it with the first batch, not counting drug resistance, the effect is at least three times better."

Having mastered alchemy techniques and gained experience in controlling the dosage of medicinal materials and the heat, Su Yu began to add precious medicinal herbs.

Three months later.

"The Great Rejuvenation Pill has finally been refined."

Opening the alchemy furnace, Su Yu took out his masterpiece, which he had been refining continuously for a full month.

The perfectly round pills had a moist sheen, their spiritual energy was restrained, and their fragrance was intoxicating. Just one sip was enough to make even Su Yu, a Soul Saint, feel his soul power circulate faster.

"If a soul beast were to devour this Great Rejuvenation Pill directly, it would be enough to increase its cultivation level by a thousand years."

Generally speaking, the soul power possessed by soul beasts exceeds that of soul masters of the same level, especially some large soul beasts.

Moreover, soul beasts rarely know how to refine themselves.

Under these circumstances, a single Great Rejuvenation Pill can still directly enhance a soul beast's cultivation by a thousand years. If applied to a soul master, even a soul king, it would at least increase their soul power to level five.

Su Yu, being a Soul Saint, will probably be able to directly advance one level.

The key point is that this batch of pills produced a total of nine pills!

Of course, most of the spiritual herbs and medicines harvested on Phoenix Continent have also been used up.

"Given my condition, the first three pills of this Great Rejuvenation Pill should be perfectly effective, but the effects may not be as noticeable afterward."

As for Huo Yuhao, it's estimated that after taking three pills, the effect will be at most equivalent to that of two pills in theory.

The further you refine it, the less effective it becomes.

Ultimately, the two decided that Su Yu would refine three, Huo Yuhao would refine three, and the remaining three could be left to Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen.

If the brother and sister reach the Soul Emperor level after taking a Great Rejuvenation Pill, they can probably increase their soul power by at least two or three levels.

After the distribution was completed, Su Yu and his companion began refining the pills.

They did not stay at the Xuanming Sect to refine the pills. After returning the alchemy room, they left the Xuanming Sect and found a place with relatively abundant spiritual energy.

The two returned the alchemy room ahead of schedule, and Xu Yang, being quite friendly, happily saw them off. The refining of the Profound Water Pill wasn't significantly affected, and Xu Yang felt he had made a good profit.

It wasn't until he received a report from the elder in charge of alchemy that Xu Yang's expression turned grim. The report stated that the alchemy room was filled with the aroma of medicinal herbs, and even if the herbs were not properly processed, absorbing them would be enough to accelerate the circulation of a Great Soul Master's soul power and increase it by about half a level in a short period of time.

Damn it, where did these two little things get so many spiritual herbs? Are the pills they're making of such a high grade?

I lost a fortune by buying just one snake-shaped Ganoderma lucidum that had lost much of its medicinal properties!

After setting up soul-guided devices around them to guard against unexpected disturbances, Su Yu and his companion began refining the pills.

The principle behind the medicinal power of pills in enhancing soul power lies in stimulating the soul power within the body and the transformation of the body by the medicinal power itself.

As far as Su Yu knew, the improvement of a Soul Master's Soul Power level was actually the process of gaining various insights and understandings during the cultivation of Soul Power, and the process of leaving imprints of the various characteristics of Soul Power on the Soul Master's meridians and even throughout the entire body.

The immense life force within Su Yu's body provides a continuous source of power for his soul power, making it an inexhaustible wellspring of soul power. This rich life force also enhances the efficiency with which Su Yu's soul power leaves its mark within his body.

The principle behind the medicinal effects of elixirs is to accelerate this efficiency.

However, unlike vitality, medicinal power has a more pronounced effect in this regard. Not only does it more thoroughly stimulate soul power, but the medicinal power itself also contains insights into various energies that can be integrated into the body.

Refining elixirs also requires a process.

After refining the three pills, three months had passed in the blink of an eye.

In fact, Su Yu only took two months to break through three levels of soul power with the help of the Great Rejuvenation Pill, reaching level seventy-nine.

During the previous four months of alchemy, Huo Yuhao and Su Yu had both taken some intermediate pills, which increased their soul power by three and one level respectively.

In total, Su Yu's soul power increased by four levels in the six months he spent refining pills (four months) and processing the pills (two months).

This is quite a good deal.

As for Huo Yuhao, after Su Yu finished refining the Great Rejuvenation Pill and waited for him for another month, he finally fully digested the medicinal power of the three Great Rejuvenation Pills.

Before refining the pills, his soul power had already broken through to level 49.

After refining the first Great Rejuvenation Pill and breaking through level 50, the Bewitching Butterfly bestowed upon him his fifth soul ring, bringing him directly to level 55.

Afterwards, the effects of the two Great Rejuvenation Pills were greatly reduced, but they still pushed Huo Yuhao's soul power to level 59, close to level 60.

Opening his eyes and feeling his powerful soul force, Huo Yuhao felt as if he had been transported to another world.

Just half a year ago, he was a level 46 Soul Master, but in such a short time, he has reached level 59 and can obtain his sixth Soul Ring and become a Soul Emperor at any time!

Indeed, such is the power of chance!

At the same time, Huo Yuhao also began to gain confidence.

She was only a year younger than Su Yu, but there was indeed a gap of nearly thirty levels between them.

But this gap is rapidly narrowing.

The level requirement has been reduced from at least 30 to 20.

Of course, Huo Yuhao was also aware that soul power would become increasingly difficult to increase later on. But even so, as he watched the numerical gap between soul power levels continue to narrow, he still felt a sense of relief.

At least, there is still hope of catching up.

Unlike Senior Xiao, the gap in the level of their soul tools hadn't even narrowed.

"Before I knew it, more than half a year had passed. I should go and find out about the situation in the Sun Moon Empire."

The Soul Fighting Tournament only has a year left at most, so Xu Tianran should stop causing trouble.

We can send Huo Yuhao back now.

With Huo Yuhao by my side, although I sometimes felt that the mental detection was very convenient, it also had many inconveniences.

For example, they are afraid to take unnecessary risks.

What might be a reconnaissance mission for Su Yu is a risk for Huo Yuhao.

Back in a nearby town, Su Yu inquired about the recent situation on the mainland.

"I heard that the Sun Moon Empire has broken out into war again."

"Sigh, this new emperor of the Sun Moon Empire is really dishonest. In my opinion, he should be replaced!"

"Exactly! They've just taken power and are already waging war everywhere. If their domestic situation stabilizes, won't things get even worse?"

A group of powerful Soul Masters, exuding an air of authority, loudly expressed their thoughts.

"Sigh, I heard that the rebellious forces in the Sun Moon Empire are about to be completely wiped out."

"Hmph, a bunch of useless trash. Even with pressure from both the Star Luo Empire and the Heavenly Soul Empire, they can't take them down from within!"

"."

My eyes have been getting tired from staring at the screen for the past couple of days, and I haven't been feeling well, so I've been late. Sorry.

As you can see from my performance these past two days, I genuinely have no drafts saved up. Please stop rushing me; I'll try my best to write at least 10,000 words a day and not fall behind.

It's the last day. After today, the monthly passes you have will be useless.

Brothers, if not now, when?
