Battle Through the Heavens: The Inner Struggle of Cultivation Brings Xiao Yan to Tears

If Xiao Yang were to refine it when he was a half-saint, he might not even be able to extract all the medicinal materials!

Chapter 490 The Rain of Crimson Descends!

The essence of each medicinal herb gradually began to blend together.

Xiao Yang was extremely cautious during the refining process.

Unlike before, he did not fuse all the medicinal essences in one go.

This was, after all, his first time refining a ninth-grade Xuan Dan.

Before each batch of medicinal essence is blended, Xiao Yang will use his soul power to sense the medicinal properties and potency within it.

Only after confirming that the medicinal properties are suitable will he blend it with the essence of other medicinal herbs.

With the help of the primordial fire, the essence of each medicinal herb was perfectly blended together.

Gradually, under Xiao Yang's manipulation, the surrounding energy began to continuously merge into the essence of those medicinal herbs.

Why is it so difficult to refine ninth-grade elixirs?

This is because not only must one possess formidable alchemy skills, but one must also have an extremely precise grasp of the energy of heaven and earth.

A ninth-grade elixir requires not only the fusion of medicinal materials, but also the fusion of a large amount of surrounding natural energy.

This is why ninth-grade elixirs have high environmental requirements.

The ninth-grade precious pill is a little better, but the ninth-grade profound pill requires a huge amount of energy.

If they weren't inside the Strange Fire Tower, Xiao Yang could control the tower's energy to continuously gather here.

In reality, he might need to mobilize the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles!

If the refining of a pill of the ninth grade, the Xuan Dan, fails, it will also be a loss to the world.

After the Ninth-Grade Mystic Pill is successfully refined, a rain of pills will fall, which can nourish heaven and earth.

Even if the elixir fails to help the patient transcend the tribulation, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) will be replenished.

It might even become more concentrated.

However, if the refining fails, the surrounding天地能量 (heaven and earth energy) can only wait slowly to recover.

Xiao Yang even suspected that the reason why the energy of heaven and earth in the Northwest Continent was so different from that in the Central Continent was very likely due to the fact that the ancient emperor Tuoshe refined an emperor-level pill ten thousand years ago.

The Emperor-grade pill inside the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's cave was merely a failed, unfinished product.

The amount of energy from heaven and earth required for a ninth-grade Xuan Dan is terrifying.

The Golden Core stage may even require mobilizing the energy of heaven and earth within a radius of tens of thousands of miles!

How terrifying would the amount of energy from heaven and earth required for the Imperial Pill be?

Xiao Yang learned a lot of information from the insights he gained from the Emperor-grade pills.

A single Emperor-grade pill can indeed absorb the energy of heaven and earth from the entire Northwest Continent.

Of course, a successful refining will also benefit the world.

However, if it fails, it will take a very long time for the energy of an entire continent to recover.

If the Dou Qi Continent hadn't been sealed, its recovery might have been faster.

However, the Dou Qi Continent is now sealed by the ancient Dou Emperor to prevent the invasion of extraterrestrial demons.

Even the source energy cannot get in.

Therefore, if one fails to refine an Emperor-grade elixir, it may take countless years to recover.

The ancient cave of Tuoshe is also located in the northwest continent.

Xiao Yang estimated that this was very likely the reason why the energy of heaven and earth in the Northwest Continent was so scarce.

……

And just like that, a week passed in the blink of an eye.

Only the last essence remained inside the Heavenly Profound Cauldron.

Xiao Yang began to integrate the essence of the ninth-tier dragon-type magic core into it.

The surrounding energy continued to flow in.

The energy surged into the Heavenly Profound Cauldron and was purified by Xiao Yang's Origin Fire, directly transforming into pure liquid energy!

Gradually, the liquid energy inside began to decrease rapidly.

At the center of those liquid energies, where the essence of the medicinal herbs originally resided, a tiny point of light began to slowly emerge.

……

outside world.

The island of Dragon, which had been bathed in silver light, was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Rumble!

Many ancient dragons of the Void showed no surprise at this scene, only a numb expression.

In their view, it must be the human alchemist brought back by the Dragon Emperor who is refining a ninth-grade precious pill again.

Dark clouds enveloped the secret chamber where Xiao Yang was located.

Terrifying black lightning bolts swirled continuously within the dark clouds.

Xiao Yang, who was inside the Strange Fire Tower, also sensed something.

He opened the lid of the Heavenly Profound Cauldron, and a rich fragrance of elixirs spread out.

These fragrant pills actually began to transform into pills of different colors, which fell into the Strange Fire Tower!

At this moment, a shower of pills appeared inside the Strange Fire Tower!

Seeing this, Xiao Yang's face also showed a hint of joy.

A rain of cinnabar descends, and the elixir of immortality emerges!

It seems this time it's a success!

Da da da!

Da da da!

The rain of crimson petals fell into the Tower of Strange Fire, making a crisp sound.

Although these are somewhat similar to elixirs, they are not true elixirs in themselves.

However, even so, these pills are formed from pure energy.

After ingestion, the energy within is very easily absorbed.

For some cultivators at lower levels, consuming a little more and absorbing the energy within can be just as effective as taking elixirs.

Most importantly, although these pills appear to be medicines, they are essentially very pure energy.

In other words, these pills can be absorbed indefinitely!

These pills can completely enable cultivators at a low level to quickly improve!

With a thought, Xiao Yang caused the pills to automatically gather together.

He planned to take these pills back to the Xiao family.

It just so happens that many members of the Xiao family are still at a relatively low cultivation level.

Even with Xiao Yang's help, many of the younger and older generations of the Xiao family are only at the Dou Ling level.

Unfortunately, the Grand Master stage can be skipped quickly.

However, at the Douling stage, there aren't that many pills that can improve one's cultivation level.

Moreover, Xiao Yang's rise to power was relatively recent.

The number of powerful individuals in the Xiao family has not yet increased.

Furthermore, in Xiao Yang's view, it would be better to wait for him and Xiao Yan to break through to the Dou Di realm than to let the Xiao family members cultivate.

By then, the Xiao family members will at least be Dou Zong level.

It's even quite possible that he's at least a Dou Zun!

After all, if Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan break through together, the Xiao family will instantly have two more Dou Di bloodlines!

……

Gulong Island.

The clone looked at the dark clouds in the sky and felt that it was time.

Xiao Yang, inside the Strange Fire Tower, instantly appeared above the secret chamber with the Heavenly Profound Cauldron.

A rich fragrance of cinnabar wafted out, and droplets of cinnabar rained down.

Many ancient dragons of the Void watched this scene in shock.

Some of the more knowledgeable ancient dragons were filled with shock upon seeing this scene.

"This is... Dan Yu?"

"A rain of cinnabar falls, and elixir emerges? How is that possible!"

"This alchemist is actually refining a ninth-grade profound pill!"

"How long has it been since a Grade 9 Profound Pill appeared on the mainland? I never expected that one would appear on our Ancient Dragon Island!"

At this moment, the powerful members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan looked in the direction of Xiao Yang with fervent eyes.

A ninth-grade Xuan Dan Grandmaster!

Even a high-ranking Dou Sheng would treat such an existence with utmost courtesy.

A Grandmaster of the Profound Core can create several Battle Saints!

Just then...

boom!
