Chapter 33: Chapter 33 How Could There Be Such a Monster?!
Translator: 549690339
The Black and White Elders were in perfect sync, their faces a mixture of astonishment and anticipation, while Yun Tianqiong next to them was truly shocked!
He never knew that his master could actually refine a King Grade Responding to Calamity Pill!
When the master said he would try, it meant there would definitely be no problem!
That was an eighth level Spirit Pill, and it was of King Grade.
Throughout the Southern Domain, the master was probably the first!
Already holding utmost reverence for his master, Yun Tianqiong’s mood at this moment was one of deep worship!
Half an hour passed, and the four returned to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. The Black and White Elders didn’t go to the foot of Seventh Peak, but chose to watch with their Spiritual Sense.
It was nearing evening, and the number of spectators in the plaza had not lessened but increased instead.
As Li Cheng arrived at the center of the plaza with Yun Tianqiong, the crowd instantly became excited.
“The Eighteenth Elder has finally returned!”
“Who is that person beside him? With the cultivation of the Qi Refinement Realm, he’s emitting such a strong Sword Intent?”
“My sword is trembling, influenced by that person’s sword momentum!”
While the crowd was excited, many eyes fell upon Yun Tianqiong—he had just condensed his Sword Body and couldn’t perfectly conceal his Sword Intent yet, currently resembling an unsheathed sharp sword.
Mu Xingzhi and the others quickly stepped forward, “Little Uncle Master, are you alright?”
Li Cheng nodded, “The Black and White Uncles are seriously injured. Hurry up and start the alchemy!”
Mu Xingzhi tactfully led everyone away, leaving only Ling Xi at the scene.
“Yun youngster, what happened?” Back at their seats, Mu Xingzhi asked with concern.
The Black and White Elders were Tribulation Loose Immortals, yet they were seriously injured, making the high-ranking members of the sect very anxious.
Yun Tianqiong bowed and then said, “Two Loose Immortals came to capture me. I used master’s Sword Qi, but I didn’t seize the moment well and only managed to slay one of them…”
Yun Tianqiong slowly recounted the events, but since he later concentrated on condensing his Sword Body within the Sword Immortal Pool, he didn’t know much about what followed. He only knew that it involved a remnant soul of an Immortal wanting to take possession of a body, even at a great cost to themselves.
Li Cheng had started the alchemy process, beginning with the Fusion Dao Pill as usual.
The people of the Pill Sect had waited so many days and were finally going to witness Li Cheng performing alchemy, each of them holding their breaths and afraid to miss any detail.
Ling Xi was no exception.
Li Cheng had not performed alchemy often, but he was now practiced and efficient. After testing the power of the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame a few times, he began in earnest.
With the Rule of Fire amplifying it, the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame was now more than twice as powerful as the True Fire he had used before, and naturally, the speed of pill refinement was faster!
Phut!
As the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame burned inside the Tripod, gasps of astonishment erupted one after another!
“That’s Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire! When did the Eighteenth Elder obtain Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire? It wasn’t there during the previous pill refinement!”
“This Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire is so strong; do not let your Spiritual Sense get close to it or it will be devoured by the fire!”
The Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame could nourish the soul and strengthen the Spiritual Sense for Li Cheng, but for others, the effect was quite the opposite.
“Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame! He actually controls the eighth-ranked Spiritual Fire!” Shentu Feng’s pupils narrowed. As the Sect Master of the Pill Sect, he believed the strongest Spiritual Fire in the Southern Domain was in the possession of the Pill Sect, but now he realized he was wrong!
“Look, the people from Heavenly Mechanism Sect didn’t even know he had the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame; could it be that he’s only just obtained it?” Ning Qianqiu said.
Everyone from the Pill Sect turned their heads to look around, realizing that was indeed the case!
An Elder said, “First Elder, are you suggesting that while he was away for these past few hours, he also took the opportunity to subdue the Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame?”
“No way? This is ranked eighth among the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires, even higher than our sect’s strongest Nirvana Vitality Fire. Can it really be subdued so quickly?”
“I also think it’s impossible. To subdue such a spirit fire, it would take years at the very least!”
Listening to everyone’s comments, Ning Qianqiu waved his hand, “1 was just making a casual remark, after all, everyone says that he never used spiritual fire when refining pills before. If he had tamed it before but never used it, then he’s hidden his abilities too deeply.”
“Enough, such a formidable pill master deserves an equally formidable spiritual fire. Stop discussing and concentrate on observing!” Shentu Feng interrupted the crowd.
Speaking of observing, that was a headache in itself. Before, they could use their spiritual sense to check, but now, getting too close to the pill tripod with spiritual sense was like delivering food to it!
And with mere eyesight, the essence of it is simply too difficult to discern!
Even Ling Xi, who was closest, didn’t dare to release her spiritual sense. With her Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, her spiritual sense was weak, and she could only stare unblinkingly at every one of Li Cheng’s movements, unwittingly immersing herself entirely in the observation.
The eighth-ranked Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame, with its special soul-nourishing effects, also had an extremely astonishing heat on its own. Coupled with the Rule of Fire, it made Li Cheng’s alchemy seem effortlessly easy.
Soon, one hundred batches of Fusion Dao Pill ingredients began to fuse.
After the fusion was complete, over a thousand Fusion Dao Pills flew out from the tripod, causing all the onlookers to widen their eyes in shock!
“Sect Master, that’s one hundred batches of ingredients! Not even an incense stick’s time has passed, and he’s succeeded!”
“That’s not the main point. The main point is that sixteen of them have developed pill patterns—that’s King Grade!” Shentu Feng found his throat suddenly becoming incredibly dry as he spoke with some difficulty.
Ning Qianqiu nodded subconsciously, “Quick, look at the center of those pills. There are two that not only have pill patterns but also a halo circulating around them—that’s Emperor Grade!”
Emperor Grade!
The people of the Pill Sect all took a sharp intake of breath. Finishing the pills in such a short time was one thing, but what was crucial was the frighteningly high quality!
The lowest were top-quality Fusion Dao Pills, sixteen King Grade, two Emperor Grade—such alchemy skills were unmatched at least in the Southern Domain!
Shentu Feng nodded vigorously, scanning seriously before saying, “Pity there’s no Emperor Grade…”
Before his words could fall, he clearly sensed a powerful force stirring in the sky!
Looking up, he saw the dark clouds churning and rapidly gathering!
It was already dusk, and as the dark clouds surged in, the world plunged completely into darkness!
“It’s a Pill Tribulation! Emperor Grade Spirit Pills have attracted a Pill Tribulation!” Shentu Feng’s eyes lit up, as if realizing something.
As the Pill Tribulation gathered, array patterns emerged all over Li Cheng’s body. In just a few moments, he set up an eighth-grade formation, enveloping Ling Xi within it.
With her cultivation, standing under the Pill Tribulation would be extremely dangerous, but an eighth-grade formation was more than enough to protect her.
While everyone was looking up at the sky, very few noticed Li Cheng casually setting up an eighth-grade formation, but the fluctuation when the array patterns emerged was sensed by all the people of the Pill Sect.
Seeing Li Cheng set up an eighth-grade formation to protect Ling Xi, the people of the Pill Sect were stunned into silence!
“He… he’s also an Array Master?”
“Have 1 seen a ghost? He’s at least an eighth-grade Pill Master and also an eighth-grade Array Master?”
“To simultaneously cultivate both the Alchemy Dao and array mastery to this extent, isn’t he too monstrously talented?”
Ning Qianqiu felt his mind wasn’t coping well—how could there be such a monstrous figure in the world?
Boom!
Tribulation Thunder began to fall, the deafening sound of thunder bringing them back to reality.
“Odd, the Pill Tribulation is falling, why isn’t Elder Li taking action? Just watching as most of the Fusion Dao Pills get blasted to bits?”
As most of the Fusion Dao Pills vanished, Ning Qianqiu spoke doubtfully..
