Eighth-Rank Pill, Fuling Qing Pill

It was simply horrifying! He had repelled more than a dozen Dou Huang experts at once. This person's strength was likely above Dou Zong, perhaps even higher!

Li Xiao chuckled inwardly. These fools really aren't afraid of death. Do they really think I didn't take any precautions? What if they learned my true realm?

Yun Yun, the Misty Cloud Sect Leader, said gravely, "It seems he deceived me. His strength is above mine."

Linglong and Niu Meng met each other's eyes, then dropped to one knee in unison. "Greetings, Pavilion Master!"

Not only that, even the Dou Wang and Dou Ling cultivators were intimidated by the pair's imposing aura. Even Dou Zong experts had knelt in worship, let alone insignificant figures like them who had not even reached the Dou Huang realm.

With that thought, everyone on the first floor knelt to the ground and respectfully shouted, "Greetings, Lord Li Xiao!"

The Dou Huang experts on the second floor exchanged glances. Only after Yun Yun, the Misty Cloud Sect Leader, took the lead did they follow suit and offer their greetings.

However, they did not kneel like Linglong. As Dou Huang experts, they were proud and arrogant. Others had always knelt before them; never had there been a precedent for them kneeling before someone else.

How could dignified Dou Huang experts remain beneath another for long?

Still, to give the Lord of Ascending Heaven Pavilion some face, they all bowed. "Greetings, Lord Li Xiao."

Li Xiao nodded with a smile. "There is no need for such formalities. You are all guests of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion, and friends of mine, Li Xiao. Today's final auction item is particularly important, so I will personally preside over it."

As he spoke, Li Xiao slowly raised his right hand. A dazzling light flashed forth, drawing stunned gazes from the crowd.

When the light faded, an exquisite box appeared before everyone.

Upon seeing the box, the crowd began guessing what it contained. Some said it was a pill, while others claimed it was a supreme treasure.

People whispered among themselves, their enthusiasm soaring as they eagerly awaited the reveal of an even greater treasure.

The moment Li Xiao opened the box, a rich medicinal fragrance washed over them. Anyone who smelled it felt as though they had drifted into the clouds beyond the heavens.

It was incomparably soothing.

Some people even broke through their realms on the spot under the nourishment of the pill fragrance!

"This is an Eighth-Rank Pill!"

Whether it was Pill King Gu He or the other high-tier alchemists, all of them froze where they stood. Though their status was high, they had never seen an Eighth-Rank Pill. Such a precious treasure could only be refined by an eighth-rank alchemist! Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, and an uproar immediately erupted. This was an Eighth-Rank Pill—something far too rare to behold.

Even if the Four Great Empires were combined, not a single person among them could refine an Eighth-Rank Pill. Perhaps only the powerful experts of the Central Continent possessed such ability! Any Eighth-Rank Pill that appeared in the world could be sold for an astronomical price. Eighth-Rank Pills were categorized from two-colored to Nine-Colored Pill Lightning. This pill clearly bore two colors, which meant it had been tempered by two-colored pill lightning. There was no need to even mention the complexity of its refinement process.

Moreover, Eighth-Rank Pills were exceptionally special. They had already developed spirituality, though not yet intelligence.

However, one could not simply become an eighth-rank alchemist. Eighth-Rank Pills required a Spirit Realm soul to refine. The alchemist bestowed spiritual energy upon the pill, drawing down multicolored pill lightning. Based on the number of lightning colors, pills were classified from two-colored to nine-colored, and the pill would automatically transform into a pill beast in the form of various animals.

Medicine Emperor Han Feng frowned. "I never expected the Ascending Heaven Pavilion's ultimate treasure to be an Eighth-Rank Pill—the Fuling Qing Pill. What remarkable boldness. Any other faction would have treasured it away. Such a supreme treasure should not have appeared here!"

"Just who is Lord Li Xiao? Could he truly have come from the Central Continent?"

Han Feng pondered inwardly. He could not understand why Li Xiao could casually produce an Eighth-Rank Pill and the Deep Sea Blue Heart. Even on the continent, such items were undoubtedly top-tier treasures.

Other than those great clans, probably no one had the wealth to take them out for auction.

Yuan Yi, the Eight Gates Sect Leader, wore a mournful expression. At last, he understood that his Auction House was no match for the Ascending Heaven Pavilion.

The difference in quality was simply too great.

And judging by Li Xiao's casual demeanor, he seemed to regard this Eighth-Rank Pill with disdain.

"Hehe." Li Xiao stood with his hands behind his back. "I believe everyone has already seen it. This is indeed a two-colored pill lightning Fuling Qing Pill!"

As an Eighth-Rank Pill, the Fuling Qing Pill was said to help Dou Zun Strong whose strength had deteriorated recover their peak power.

In other words, if one's foundation had been damaged, then after consuming it, no matter how severely their realm had fallen, they would recover in a short time.

It could even provide tremendous help to Dou Zun Strong.

"Hehe, I never expected that we would be fortunate enough to see an Eight-Grade Fuling Qing Pill today. Hehehe, this truly makes me see things in a new light." Ban Lao, the Earth Flame Sect Leader, stroked his small mustache and laughed.

Clearly, he was interested in this pill as well.

Of course, he was not the only one. Every faction fixed hungry wolf-like, greedy gazes on it. An Eighth-Rank Pill was something they had never seen in their entire lives. Perhaps even licking it would cause their strength to soar! Its value could no longer be measured in money. Dou Zun Strong would scramble to call it brother, and even Half Saints would do the same! The value brought by this pill was enough to destroy a second-rate sect.

What made people even more impatient was that this Fuling Qing Pill used the magic core of a Rank 8 water-element Magical Beast. That was a Magical Beast comparable to a Dou Zun Strong, which showed just how valuable it was.

On the Dou Qi Continent, those capable of refining Tier 7 Pills were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, and every one of them was now a grandmaster of their generation.

Eighth-rank alchemists were even fewer in number. The pills they refined often caused Heaven and Earth Tremors and the collapse of all things. It was not impossible for a single pill to destroy heaven and earth.

For some people, this pill had already surpassed even the value of Heavenly Flames. Heavenly Flames were useful to alchemists, but to everyone else, they were little more than tasteless burdens.

Yao Lao was equally astonished. "I never expected it to truly be an Eighth-Rank Pill—the Fuling Qing Pill! I never thought the Ascending Heaven Pavilion would possess such a treasure!"

"Teacher, is it really an Eighth-Rank Pill?"

Yao Lao nodded and said heavily, "It is indeed. Its aura cannot be faked. I simply did not expect the Ascending Heaven Pavilion to possess such a supreme treasure. The value of an Eighth-Rank Pill can no longer be measured with money."

"I once saw someone auction off a four-colored Eighth-Rank Pill. That pill was exchanged directly for the magic cores of two Rank 8 Magical Beasts, along with a great pile of precious treasures."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan looked astonished. "That much? Then the price of this two-colored one should be discounted, right? After all, it is only a pill that can restore strength."
