Chapter 4: Primordial Pill Body
Hearing Luo Xuan's words, the Three Ancestors' eyes lit up.
When the Great Wolf King saw the elixirs appear in the three men's hands, he once again smelled that familiar scent. Instinctively, he sensed that something was wrong.
The Great Wolf King roared, swinging his wolf claws and sending several cold flashes rushing toward the Three Ancestors.
But it was already too late.
The Three Ancestors swallowed the elixirs. They melted as soon as they entered their mouths, and they immediately felt a mighty surge of Immortal Qi coursing through their meridians and flesh.
The Three Ancestors' auras surged violently.
"How is this possible?!"
The Great Wolf King nearly bit off his own tongue.
Dao Patterns flowed around the Three Ancestors' bodies, and they actually broke through to the Late Golden Immortal realm one after another!
Thinking of his own cultivation, he had spent thousands, even tens of thousands, of years breaking through from the mid-stage Golden Immortal realm to the late stage.
Yet these three had broken through just by eating a single elixir?!
The Great Wolf King craved those elixirs even more.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe you could stabilize your cultivation in such a short time!"
Watching the three men approach, the Great Wolf King hardened his heart and charged forward instead of retreating.
The Great Wolf King opened his bloody maw and bit toward Suiren Shi.
Ziyi Clan flashed into place, blocking the Great Wolf King. She easily stopped him with a beast hide.
The Great Wolf King recoiled in pain. He felt as though his teeth were about to break apart.
Suiren Shi let out a loud shout, and Suiren Fire surged toward the Great Wolf King.
The Great Wolf King immediately felt unbearably hot, as if even his claws were about to melt.
"Suiren Shi, let me go! I don't want that treasure anymore. From now on, I guarantee I won't attack you again!"
The Great Wolf King was horrified and finally confirmed that he was no match for them.
He transformed into a black wind and attempted to flee.
He thought resentfully that once he returned, he would gather the Wolf Tribe and launch a massive attack on Shouyang Mountain.
When that happened, he would make sure not a single one of them survived!
As for the Three Ancestors, they knew exactly what kind of creature the Great Wolf King was and naturally had no intention of letting him go.
Youchaoshi let out a cold snort, and the small stone house in her hand vanished.
In the blink of an eye, the small stone house appeared above the Great Wolf King and grew immensely large.
The Great Wolf King's eyes trembled as he shouted, "Suiren Shi, let me go! From now on, my Wolf Tribe will follow Shouyang Mountain's lead!"
The only answer he received was the stone house roaring toward him.
The stone house immediately bound and drew the Great Wolf King inside.
A moment later, a scream that shook heaven and earth rang out from within the stone house, then abruptly fell silent.
"We won! The Three Ancestors won!"
"Heaven has eyes! That beast is finally dead! He deserved it!"
When Youchaoshi activated the stone house and released the Great Wolf King's corpse, the cheers from the tribe grew even louder.
"Luo Xuan, we have you to thank for those elixirs. Otherwise, not only would we have suffered today—even the entire human race would have been doomed."
Suiren Shi landed beside Luo Xuan, a relieved smile appearing in his eyes.
Youchaoshi and Ziyi Clan looked at Luo Xuan gratefully.
Luo Xuan smiled faintly. "You needn't thank me, Ancestor. It's still too early for that."
Suiren Shi was slightly surprised. "What do you mean?"
Luo Xuan glanced in the direction from which the Great Wolf King had come, a smile appearing on his face.
In Wolf Valley, Grey Wolf paced back and forth, anxiety showing in his eyes.
"What happened? Given the weakness of the human race, they shouldn't have been able to stop Big Brother."
"Could something have happened? No, that's impossible. They're merely humans..."
Grey Wolf comforted himself, but he still felt a vague sense of unease.
At that moment, waves of commotion came from outside. Already irritated, Grey Wolf shouted, "What's going on? Why is it so noisy outside?"
A wolf demon came running over on all fours, panic-stricken. "Second King, this is bad! Outside... outside, we've come under attack!"
"Who could be so bold as to cause trouble in my Wolf Valley? Once Big Brother returns, he'll deal with every one of them!"
Grey Wolf flew into a rage and charged outside with the wolf demon.
But the moment he saw the situation outside, Grey Wolf was so shocked that his heart and guts nearly split apart.
The ones who had come to Wolf Valley were none other than the Three Ancestors.
Watching Suiren Fire burn Wolf Valley until it glowed with heat, Grey Wolf's mind descended into chaos.
"Wasn't Big Brother going to Shouyang Mountain? How could the humans be here?"
Grey Wolf's eyes trembled, and he immediately thought of a possibility.
He no longer had time to worry about anything else and hurriedly flew backward.
Unfortunately, the Three Ancestors had already set their sights on him.
"Where do you think you're going!"
A loud shout rang out, and Grey Wolf felt a fire dragon sweep over him.
"Awooo!"
After a single exchange, Grey Wolf died at Suiren Shi's hands, utterly incapable of resisting.
Suiren Shi threw back his head and laughed. "Luo Xuan was right. Strike while the enemy is sick and finish him off. We can't leave Shouyang Mountain with the slightest hidden danger."
Killing intent flashed in Ziyi Clan's eyes. "These beasts ate who knows how many of our people in the past. Today, they'll pay their blood debt in blood."
By the time the Three Ancestors left, all of Wolf Valley had been reduced to ruins in the blazing fire.
That very day, the entire tribe feasted on wolf meat.
Everyone kept glancing toward Luo Xuan's residence, their eyes filled with reverence.
They faintly regarded Luo Xuan as the fourth Ancestor.
At that moment, Luo Xuan was looking over his system rewards.
With the Three Ancestors and the Great Wolf King keeping him busy, he hadn't had the chance before.
Now, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Luo Xuan spread open his palm, and a grayish-red flame immediately danced in his hand.
The Innate Spiritual Fire, Skyfall True Flame.
As soon as it appeared, Luo Xuan felt the temperature of the entire room rise by several degrees.
"As expected of an Innate Spiritual Fire. Its temperature is no weaker than Suiren Fire."
Luo Xuan nodded in satisfaction. He also sensed a trace of Outer Chaos within the flame.
After withdrawing the Skyfall True Flame, Luo Xuan brought out the Five Directions Cauldron.
"Boom!"
The enormous cauldron had barely landed on the ground when it made the earth tremble.
The entire Five Directions Cauldron was green. One side depicted flowers, grass, and trees; another depicted birds, beasts, insects, and fish; and a third depicted mountains, rivers, and streams.
On its front, the two profound characters "Five Directions" had been engraved with Dao Patterns.
When Luo Xuan lightly flicked it with his fingernail, he could hear the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling.
"This is for refining elixirs?"
Luo Xuan looked at the Alchemy Furnace, which was even larger than he was, and was speechless.
Then he began flipping through the Primordial Pill Canon.
The canon recorded all kinds of primordial world's spiritual roots and rare materials, followed by all sorts of pill formulas.
Luo Xuan, who had been obsessed with alchemy in his previous life, quickly became absorbed in it.
Suddenly, Luo Xuan stopped turning the pages.
On this page, four large characters were prominently written: "Primordial Pill Body."
"The canon actually contains a cultivation method!"
Luo Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
After slowly reading it to the end, Luo Xuan understood.
The Primordial Pill Canon advocated refining all things into elixirs. Living beings were no exception.
The essence of alchemy was to discard the dross and retain the essence, achieving a state far beyond one's original condition and perfectly integrated as one.
Refining oneself could remove the impurities within one's body.
The Primordial Pill Body had nine layers, corresponding respectively to the First-turn Elixir through the Nine-Revolutions Elixir.
They also corresponded to the various cultivation realms of the primordial world.
According to the Primordial Pill Canon, once one reached the ninth layer, one would become the exceedingly rare Primordial Pill Body of the world. It was said to possess special abilities as well.
"Talk about getting a pillow right when you're about to doze off."
Luo Xuan let out a long breath, eagerness flickering in his eyes.
