But these were all phenomena caused by seventh-grade Pills stimulating their medicinal properties.
Although seventh-grade Pills and eighth-grade Pills looked similar on the surface, there was a fundamental difference between them.
That was, compared to eighth-grade Pills, seventh-grade Pills possessed virtually no spirituality at all. They could even be called Dead Pills!
In contrast to the seventh-grade Pills, the five who had refined eighth-grade Pills were Xin Lan, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Old Monster Qing Hua, and Old Man Mu Gu.
After these five alchemists who had refined eighth-grade Pills stimulated their Pills' medicinal properties, the energy erupted from the Pills did not turn into pillars of light. Instead, it condensed into various different forms.
The energy released by the eighth-grade Pills refined by Cao Ying and Dan Chen turned into a fox and a rabbit, while the energy released by Old Monster Qing Hua's eighth-grade Pill condensed into a green bear. As for the energy released by Old Man Mu Gu and Xin Lan's eighth-grade Pills, it condensed into a tiger and a small blood-colored dragon.
After taking shape, the five pill beasts formed from the spiritual energy released by the five eighth-grade Pills immediately radiated auras of varying strength.
The small blood-colored dragon formed from Xin Lan's Bone-Regenerating Blood-Melting Pill was naturally the strongest. With a single sweep of its tail, it sent Old Man Mu Gu's pill beast tiger flying, then roared as it soared into the sky, rising proudly to the highest point.
Next came the tiger, which had been sent flying by that tail strike. It did not dare move in the slightest and could only tremble beneath the small blood-colored dragon.
After that came the green bear, with the fox and rabbit last.
"Eighth-grade Pills honor spirituality, while seventh-grade Pills honor medicinal strength. From
