Liu Yun cultivated for an entire day, finally opening his eyes at dusk.
He was now a Nine-star Dou Master. His Dou Qi could no longer increase; only by condensing a Dou Crystal could he advance further and become a Da Dou Shi.
However, condensing a Dou Crystal was extremely difficult and required an opportunity.
Liu Yun's plan was to use pills to advance.
At present, the pill most suitable for him was the Three-pattern Green Spirit Pill. However, refining it required three different flames, something he clearly could not accomplish at his current stage.
Therefore, he made a very radical decision: he would take the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.
The Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill was a Peak Fourth-grade Pill. Like the Three-pattern Green Spirit Pill, it could directly increase one's strength, except it worked on Da Dou Shi practitioners and could raise their strength by one star.
Ordinarily, a Dou Master would never dare take a Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill. A Dou Master who had not condensed a Dou Crystal was actually quite fragile, and the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill could utterly destroy a Dou Master's Dou Qi Vortex in an instant.
But Liu Yun was not afraid. What he needed was precisely the stimulation of Da Dou Shi-level Dou Qi. He was absolutely confident that the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill could trigger that opportunity and allow him to advance to Da Dou Shi.
Then his next objective was simple: he only needed to find the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill Recipe.
Just as Liu Yun was deep in thought, the system notification interrupted him. The Return had finally begun.
"Ding! Ya Fei auctioned a First-grade Qi Replenishing Pill Recipe, triggering a 20-fold auction Return. Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: Fourth-grade Huiyuan Pill Recipe."
Sure enough, the Huiyuan Pill Recipe
