Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 158 Nine Tribulations Demonic Thunder Pill

"If we take this Thunder Tribulation Pill to the Thunder Clan, we can trade it with the elders of those low-star Dou Sheng, who have the ingredients for ninth-grade treasure pills."

"In addition, it's a direct exchange for pills, which is much less troublesome than hiring an alchemist. You don't have to worry about failing to refine the pills, you'll owe favors, and you'll have to prepare the pill formulas yourself and find the elders of the Thunder Clan who are low-star Dou Sheng. One Thunder Tribulation Pill can be exchanged for the ingredients of three Grade 9 Treasure Pills."

"A ninth-grade pill formula can be traded for a heaven-rank cultivation technique or fighting skill, so it would be best to save it."

Xiao Jue teased, "Then you'd have to kowtow and call me 'ancestor' now, since you yourself said its effects are close to those of a ninth-grade precious pill."

Mang Tianchi laughed and said, "Let's talk about it after you and the princess are together. Give me those two Thunder Tribulation Pills, and I will send you the ingredients for six Grade 9 Treasure Pills. However, I can't be sure what the specific ingredients will be."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jue asked directly, "Then other pills don't have this effect, right? What about the Thunder Tribulation Pill with Four-Colored Thunder?"

"It's not very useful," Mang Tianchi explained. "It's all at its normal value. After all, only those Tribulation Pills refined with Black Demon Lightning and containing the Demon Lightning Pool will have increased value."

"If you have the Bodhi Pill, it might even increase in value. After all, the Thunder Clan's Nine-Turn Battle Venerable already had an increased probability of breaking through to Half-Saint in the Demon Thunder Pool. With the Bodhi Pill, it's basically a 100% chance of breaking through."

Xiao Jue asked, "What about the two Bodhi Spirit Pills? They're both six-colored pill lightning pills. I also have a Saint Demon Pill and a Divine Aperture Pill. Could you exchange them for medicinal herbs for me while you're at it?"

After a moment's thought, Mang Tianchi said, "The special property of the Bodhi Spirit Pill, which can enhance the chance of breaking through to the half-saint realm, should also command a premium price. The Saint Demon Pill and the Divine Aperture Pill are also quite special. I'll try to find a way to exchange them for three sets of ingredients for the Ninth Grade Treasure Pill."

In the eyes of some powerful individuals, the Holy Demon Pill is more precious than the Divine Aperture Pill. After all, many powerful individuals are stuck at the peak of Dou Zun and have no hope of breaking through in their entire lives. If they could directly break through to the advanced half-saint level, many people would choose to take the Holy Demon Pill without hesitation after obtaining it.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult for a high-level half-saint to break through to a one-star Dou Sheng. Even with the side effects, some powerful individuals who are nearing the end of their lifespan are willing to take the Saint Demon Pill.

However, if it were a powerful figure like Mang Tianchi who already had the opportunity to break through to the Dou Sheng realm, he would absolutely not take the Saint Demon Pill and would prefer the Divine Aperture Pill.

Without hesitation, Xiao Jue handed all four pills to Mang Tianchi, excitedly asking, "So, the Saint Demon Pill and the Divine Aperture Pill can both be traded for the ingredients of a Grade Nine Treasure Pill?"

"What about other pills? Or could I refine a few more Grade 8 Nine-Colored Thunder Pills? Besides Thunder Tribulation Pills, what other Grade 8 Nine-Colored Thunder Pills are most popular among the Thunder Clan?"

Mang Tianchi seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Can you refine the Nine Tribulations Demonic Thunder Pill?"

"This pill is similar to the Flame Demon Purifying Pill, which is of the fire attribute. You should be familiar with this kind of pill. The Nine Tribulations Demon Thunder Pill can mutate lightning attribute battle qi, and the direction of the mutation is black demon thunder!"

Mang Tianchi said, "Refining the Nine Tribulations Demon Thunder Pill requires Black Demon Thunder. Although there is no Black Demon Thunder here, and you cannot refine Black Demon Thunder into the pill, you do have the sub-fire of the Nine Dragons Thunderfire."

"That Demon Dragon has almost completely transformed its body into Black Demon Lightning. With the Demon Dragon's sub-fire, you can naturally use a trace of Black Demon Lightning, which meets the requirements for refining the Nine Tribulations Demon Lightning Pill."

"But even a wisp of Black Demon Lightning can almost deplete the entire Dou Qi of an ordinary Dou Zun. Are you confident in your abilities?"

"If it can be refined, I am confident that I can exchange one Nine Tribulation Demon Thunder Pill for the ingredients of three Grade Nine Treasure Pills."

Xiao Jue looked at the three storage rings in his hand: the Yin-Yang Saint's Yin-Yang Ring, the red storage ring given by Gu Yuan, and the dark blue storage ring given by Lei Xi. Among them, the storage ring given by Gu Yuan was Xiao Xuan's storage ring back then.

Xiao Jue scanned the deep blue storage ring with his soul power and quickly found the formula for the Nine Tribulation Demon Thunder Pill, as well as at least forty portions of the medicinal materials for the Nine Tribulation Demon Thunder Pill, which should have been prepared by the Thunder Clan long ago.

Xiao Jue nodded slightly and said, "Refining the Nine Tribulations Demonic Thunder Pill is no problem, but I need to prepare for a few more days before I can start refining the pill."

"Waiting a few days won't matter," Mang Tianchi chuckled. "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry to take pills to break through. I still need to go back to the Thunder Realm for seclusion. I'll wait until you've finished refining all your pills before I leave."

Xiao Jue nodded, looked at Venerable Tianhuo not far away, and said, "Go deep into the Monster Mountain Range and find a place to take pills to break through. There's nothing we need you for now."

"Alright." Venerable Tianhuo nodded and got up to leave. Yao Lao ended his seclusion, but he was looking after Xiao Yan, and Xiao Jue didn't need him here, so he could take the pills to break through earlier.

"Then I'll also go and take a look at the academy." Mang Tianchi tossed a storage ring to Xiao Jue and said with a smile, "Inside are other medicinal herbs and treasures that I've collected over the years. I don't need them anymore, so I'm giving them all to you. You can use them to refine a breakthrough pill for Qian Mu Bai Lie and Su Qian, the four Dou Zongs."

"Okay." Xiao Jue nodded, accepted the storage ring, and a flash of black and white flames appeared on his body before his figure disappeared into the small valley.

Mang Tianchi couldn't help but sigh, "These strange flames are all extraordinary. A Dou Zong can use spatial power like this..."

The latest novel is first published here!

Mang Tianchi then left as well. Next, Xiao Jue was to refine the Nine Tribulation Demon Thunder Pill. According to what Princess Lei Xi told him, there were fifty portions of Nine Tribulation Demon Thunder Pill ingredients in that storage ring. At Xiao Jue's speed of refining one Nine-Colored Thunder Pill Grade 8 every seven days, it would take him about a year to refine them all.

He wouldn't wait until Xiao Jue had finished refining them all before leaving, but he would take back a dozen or so. He could use this time to catch up with Qian Mu Bai Lie and Su Qian.

……

Xiao Jue had two plans for refining the Nine Tribulations Demon Thunder Pill. One of them was to refine the Nine Tribulations Demon Thunder Pill while circulating the Yin-Yang Technique to achieve Yin-Yang harmony.

Xiao Jue's Yin-Yang Technique allows him to absorb battle qi during the process of Yin and Yang synergy. At the same time, the cultivation speed can also be accelerated during the Yin-Yang synergy, which is equivalent to the operation speed of the technique being faster.

The low-level Heaven-rank Yin-Yang Technique, when Yin and Yang are in harmony, is comparable to a mid-level Heaven-rank technique. Combined with Xiao Yu's five-star Dou Zong strength, her high-level Earth-rank technique, and the Dou Qi within her body, it is enough for Xiao Jue to refine any Rank 8 pill with Nine-Colored Thunder Pill.

Xiao Jue had just absorbed the sub-flames of the Sea Heart Flame, Bone Spirit Cold Flame, and Nine Dragons Thunderfire, and the energy consumed by the Yin-Yang Twin Flames had been recovered; in fact, the Yin-Yang Twin Flames had become even stronger.
