Xiantian Pill

Although the Yi Yuan Sect had over twenty Xiantian realm experts, this was accumulated over many years. Furthermore, the Yi Yuan Sect was backed by the main sect of the Yi Yuan Sect, one of the four great sects of the Dayue Kingdom. Their inheritances and resources were far beyond what other forces could compare to.

Generally speaking, it was difficult for dozens of Houtian Ninth Stage martial artists to even break through to the Xiantian realm. Of course, for a massive force like the Yi Yuan Sect's main sect, the success rate would be greatly increased.

A single Xiantian realm expert was enough to become the City Lord of a small city, which showed the status of Xiantian realm experts.

At this moment, the only person shouting so loudly could be the City Lord.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect the Xiantian Pill to be refined yet. This young master will be back next time!" After a wild laugh, the entire city was shaken.

The Xiantian Pill, it was actually the Xiantian Pill!

As everyone knew, it was extremely difficult to advance to the Xiantian realm. One needed to open the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, open the Ren and Du Meridians, and have Zhenqi form a Great Circulatory Cycle, becoming self-sustaining and entering the Xiantian realm.

Only a minority could achieve this. However, some pills could help in opening the Ren and Du Meridians, and the Xiantian Pill was one of the most famous.

Normally, the appearance of even a single Xiantian Pill would cause a bloody storm, with countless Houtian realm martial artists fighting for it.

The fact that the City Lord's Mansion was refining Xiantian Pills spread throughout the city overnight.

The City Lord's Mansion had obtained the formula for the Xiantian Pill a long time ago and had been secretly collecting the necessary medicinal ingredients. They had finally gathered them a while ago and were about to start refining the Xiantian Pill.

If this news hadn't spread, it would have been fine. But once it got out, it would definitely attract the covetous eyes of many experts, especially many Houtian Ninth Stage experts whose lifespans were nearing their end. They would not let go of such a good opportunity.

For martial artists to cultivate to the Xiantian realm was not simply about a great increase in strength. Most importantly, their lifespans would also be greatly extended. Once they broke through to the Xiantian realm, a person's lifespan would directly increase to two hundred years. This was the beginning of transcending the mortal and entering the saintly.

For many Houtian Ninth Stage Peak martial artists, their lifespans were slowly approaching exhaustion. If they couldn't find a way to reach the Xiantian realm, they would eventually turn into a pile of Kitsuchi.

Whether it was to survive or to obtain powerful strength, they would not let go of the Xiantian Pill. At that time, there would be another bloody struggle.

Ye Xiwen was naturally also interested in the Xiantian Pill. Originally, he was supposed to return to the Yi Yuan Sect after finishing this mission, but now he decided to stay and see how things unfolded.

However, no matter what, improving his strength was the top priority. The experts who would be competing later would likely be Houtian Ninth Stage experts, and it was hard to say if even Xiantian experts would appear. With his current strength, he probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

He was already at the Houtian Seventh Stage Peak. As long as he took one more step, he could break through to the Houtian Eighth Stage. At that time, Ye Xiwen was even confident he could fight against Houtian Ninth Stage experts.

For others, breaking through was not that simple. But for Ye Xiwen, who had a special space, as long as he had enough Spirit Stones, breaking through was not a problem at all.

Ye Xiwen quickly entered a state of meditation, entering the special space to cultivate the Ming Yu Gong. The Spirit Stones he had just obtained began to burn fiercely, and Spiritual Energy poured into the special space.

Ye Xiwen's comprehension of the Ming Yu Gong also increased steadily. These insights were like torrents, impacting the solid barrier of Ye Xiwen's realm.

Time ticked by, and Ye Xiwen's strength also continued to increase.

"Boom!" After an unknown amount of time, the torrents of insight and information completely broke through Ye Xiwen's solid realm barrier.

Cracking sounds came from Ye Xiwen's body, his bones colliding and rubbing against each other. His body was covered in a faint layer of grime. Now that Ye Xiwen had reached the Houtian Eighth Stage, the impurities he exuded were not as much as when he first broke through to the Houtian Fourth Stage.

Although he had cultivated all night, Ye Xiwen was full of vigor. After breaking through to the Houtian Eighth Stage, his strength directly reached the power of seventy fierce tigers. Ye Xiwen's strength had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he could even kill late-stage Houtian Ninth Stage experts. With such strength, he had a few more chances to participate in the competition for the Xiantian Pill.

Overnight, the news spread among the countless martial artists in the city.

"I didn't expect the City Lord's Mansion to be secretly refining Xiantian Pills!"

"Tsk tsk, once this batch of Xiantian Pills is refined, there will be no room for the City Lord's Mansion to operate!"

"However, this batch of Xiantian Pills will likely attract many powerful figures. The City Lord's Mansion's strength alone might not be enough to resist!"

When Ye Xiwen woke up in the morning, all the martial artists in the inn were discussing this matter.

"Tsk tsk, you guys didn't see it. Last night, several well-known Houtian Ninth Stage Peak experts rushed into the city overnight!"

"Hmph, what are those few? They are destined to be supporting characters. This morning, didn't you see the City Lord of Da Qing City personally come, saying he wanted to get a Xiantian Pill for his only son!"

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. This news gradually spread farther and farther, forming a huge storm. Many renowned experts came, and it even attracted the City Lord of Da Qing City, a great expert in the Xiantian realm.

In Green Peak Mountain, a remote area in the southwest of the Dayue Kingdom, far from the center of the Dayue Kingdom, a single Xiantian expert could suppress a region. Any Xiantian expert was a focal point.

Da Qing City was the closest city to Tian Yuan City, with a population size similar to Tian Yuan City. Its City Lord was also a great expert in the Xiantian realm.

The City Lord of Da Qing City came this time for his only son, who had long ago become a Houtian Ninth Stage expert.

However, the City Lord's Mansion remained silent towards these experts who dared to come. Every night, many experts would scout the City Lord's Mansion. Of course, most of them met a miserable end. The City Lord's Mansion's guards were very strict, and many experts were shot to death by arrows from the guards, including even some Houtian Ninth Stage experts.

Killing twenty-three experts in one night finally suppressed these restless martial artists.

However, Ye Xiwen did not pay too much attention to these matters. Instead, he focused all his attention on consolidating his newly broken through realm. As long as the City Lord's Mansion's Xiantian Pill was not refined, there was no need to rush.

In the room, Ye Xiwen exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes. He had completely consolidated his realm and successfully advanced to the Houtian Eighth Stage Middle Stage. Slaying late-stage Houtian Ninth Stage experts was not a problem at all, and he was not afraid of Houtian Ninth Stage Peak experts either.

However, he had also consumed 1,500 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, leaving him with only 4,500.
