Transformation

One month later.

Xiao Yuan descended from the sky, bathed in lightning.

During this month, he refined three Rank 8 Pill. Although he only attracted two three-colored and one five-colored pill lightning attacks, these pills were enough to heal Hua Yu's injuries.

His strength has now basically reached the Peak Dou Zong, and he is only a step away from breaking through to Dou Zun.

Of course, the difference wasn't in his Dou Qi cultivation level, but rather in his progress in cultivating the Six Qi Transformations.

Despite obtaining the Earth Core Jade Marrow, a rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures rich in the power of the earth, in the Pill World, Xiao Yuan has been so busy since then that he has not had time to cultivate.

Otherwise, he would have already successfully broken through to the Dou Zun Realm.

Now that the elixir is finished, he can finally begin cultivating the Six Qi Transformations.

"Sister Yun, please deliver these pills to Senior Hua Yu for me. I'm afraid I'll need to go into seclusion for a while."

Xiao Yuan said with a solemn expression.

During this time, Yun Yun often stayed by Hua Yu's side, learning some of the Flower Sect's Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, and receiving guidance from Hua Yu.

Her kind and gentle nature made Hua Yu's affection for her grow stronger, and Yun Yun's talent was indeed quite good. Therefore, their relationship was extremely harmonious during this period.

As for Xiao Yuan, he was in a Forbidden Area of the Flower Sect, which was very safe. In the entire Flower Sect, only Hua Yu and Yun Yun could come and go freely in this place.

This place is also the most precious land with the densest natural energy of the Flower Sect.

Making a breakthrough here will yield twice the result with half the effort.

Xiao Yuan took out the Earth Core Jade Marrow, and immediately dark golden Heavenly Flames surged from his palm, transforming into dark golden threads that cut the Earth Core Jade Marrow into several small pieces.

With a wave of his hand, he threw it into the Black Demon Cauldron. Immediately afterward, the Storage Ring on his hand flashed with light, and streams of light entered the cauldron, arranging themselves in an orderly fashion.

With the massive amount of high-quality Medicinal Herbs that Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan had collected in the Pill World, Xiao Yuan was now quite confident in his alchemy skills. It could be said that he could find any Medicinal Herbs Medicinal Herbs wanted.

Most of the Medicinal Herbs Medicinal Herbs are of the earth element, Ten Thousand Year Earth Yellow Root, Earth Poria, and Yellow Essence Fruit. If these were placed outside, the value of each plant would not be lower than that of a Seventh-grade Intermediate elixir.

The pill to be refined this time is called the Earth Force Pill. After taking it, one can use the power of the earth in the Earth Core Jade Marrow to manipulate the terrain of a region to enhance oneself. This will greatly increase one's strength for a certain period of time. Even Dou Zun expert can use this pill to increase their strength by about two stars.

When the user stands firmly on the ground, their defensive capabilities are greatly enhanced by the terrain.

Of course, not everyone is capable of withstanding such terrifying medicinal power. If the user's physical body is not strong enough, the terrifying medicinal power in the pill alone is difficult to bear, let alone withstand the heavy support of the terrain on the body.

Therefore, the duration of the effects of this Earth Force Pill depends entirely on how long the user can withstand the medicinal power and the impact of the terrain; it is usually used for desperate measures.

However, for Xiao Yuan, this pill was arguably the most suitable for him to cultivate the Taiyin Damp Earth Qi in the Six Qi Transformations.

He could even refine the medicinal power to enhance his strength and incorporate the terrain he attracted into his Qi Mansion, thus increasing the weight of the earth-attribute Dou Qi within.

However, this was Xiao Yuan's first time refining this pill, and he only had one chance to do so. Therefore, he had to concentrate fully and could not afford to make any mistakes! Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yuan looked at the Medicinal Herbs in the Black Demon Cauldron, slowly closed his eyes, and his soul power surged out like a tide, taking control of every inch of the cauldron.

The dark golden flames surged, casting a faint golden light over Xiao Yuan, making him appear quite sacred.

Ten days later.

Inside the medicine cauldron, a deep yellow pill spun rapidly. Outside the cauldron, wisps of medicinal energy rose, and dark clouds filled the sky.

Six-colored Pill Cloud surged in the sky, but from other parts of the Flower Sect, no abnormality could be detected.

This is also one of the reasons why Hua Yu arranged for Xiao Yuan to be placed here.

This place is secluded enough that some messages won't easily get out.

This action was naturally taken to guard against the so-called acting sect leader Hua Jin.

Many years ago, Hua Jin began to distance herself from Hua Yu because Hua Yu was seriously injured and paralyzed in both legs. This caused Hua Yu's personality to change drastically, and she lived alone in that remote mountain peak, refusing to see anyone.

Even the Great Elder, who had always been close to her, rarely saw her.

Later, Hua Jin developed a close relationship with the Demon Flower Evil Monarch of the Tianming Sect, seemingly intending to use this method to help him obtain the position of Flower Sect Leader.

However, Hua Yu naturally did not want this rebellious disciple to inherit her mantle, so she never gave in. This made Hua Jin increasingly want to inherit the position of sect leader of the Flower Sect through some unconventional means.

As a seasoned veteran who had been in Central State for many years, and especially someone who had watched Hua Jin grow up, Hua Yu found Hua Jin's methods to be far too naive.

However, the Tianming Sect's ambition towards the Flower Sect has been brewing for quite some time. Therefore, the fact that Hua Yu has recovered from her injuries has been kept secret. As for Xiao Yuan, he has long since left the Flower Sect, and his ability to create the Three Thousand Lightning Illusionary Body is naturally quite outstanding.

On the contrary, Yun Yun stayed in the Flower Sect openly and legitimately. On the surface, it seems more like Xiao Yuan used the connections of the older generation to arrange for his woman to cultivate in the Flower Sect.

Although this did not arouse Hua Jin's suspicion, her attitude towards Yun Yun was not very good. After all, Yun Yun had become Hua Yu's disciple, and her attitude towards her was rather cold. However, this was quite reasonable, so Hua Jin did not notice any problem.

Recently, besides refining Xiao Yuan's pills, Hua Yu has been guiding Yun Yun's cultivation. After all, she is a senior figure and was once a well-known figure in Central State. Therefore, she has a lot of cultivation resources at her disposal. In addition, as Yao Lao said, Yun Yun's personality is really able to handle Hua Yu, and the closeness of their relationship has also increased by leaps and bounds. Many good things have been given to Yun Yun by Hua Yu, and Yun Yun's strength has also improved.

The Great Elder continued to suppress Hua Jin's voice within the sect. In the past, the Flower Sect had no disciple more outstanding than Hua Jin, so it was only because of this that she was made the acting sect leader. The Great Elder had always been quite forceful in suppressing Hua Jin's voice, preventing her from successfully taking control of the Flower Sect.

However, the current suppression of Hua Jin is more to prevent her from becoming suspicious.

However, Xiao Yuan wasn't too concerned about this, since these issues were no longer a problem once Hua Yu old senior's injuries were healed.

After taking a relaxing bath in the thunderclouds and absorbing all the pill lightning within, Xiao Yuan was finally able to begin his journey to break through to the Dou Zun Realm!

Looking at the Earth Force Pill in his hand, Xiao Yuan didn't rush to take it. Instead, he put it away first and then recovered from the fatigue caused by refining pills for many days. He adjusted his condition to its best before taking out the pill and swallowing it in one gulp! Boom! As soon as he swallowed the Earth Force Pill, a thick energy, as heavy as the earth, appeared in Xiao Yuan's body and quickly spread out.

An earthy yellow light enveloped Xiao Yuan's body.

Immediately afterwards, astonishing energy was drawn from the ground beneath Xiao Yuan and then continuously flowed into his body.

After the deep yellow energy was applied to Xiao Yuan, his aura surged dramatically! Two Star Dou Zun!

Although it wasn't as powerful as Xiao Yuan's Heavenly Flame Three Mysterious Transformations technique, it's important to know that these two stars were no ordinary two stars. Rather, it meant that the Dou Qi of all five Qi Mansion had reached the two-star level. In other words, this energy, which was enough to burst One-Star Dou Zun, was now perfectly absorbed into Xiao Yuan's body! At the same time, the deep yellow energy on Xiao Yuan's body gradually transformed into mysterious runes, which landed on his body surface.

Those are Earth Rune Mark, symbolizing the effects of taking the Earth Force Pill. The better the effect, the more Earth Rune Mark there will be.

Xiao Yuan's body was covered in runes at this moment, which was the result of the runes reaching their maximum effect.

It was fortunate that Xiao Yuan cultivated the Demon Lightning Body and had a large amount of pill thunder tempering his body; otherwise, it would have been difficult to maximize the effect of this Earth Force Pill.

With the support of the solid ground above him, Xiao Yuan immediately changed his hand seals and began practicing the Six Qi Transformations.

As his hand seals changed, Heavenly Flames erupted throughout his body. Guided by Xiao Yuan, it enveloped the heavy power of the earth and then followed the meridians in his body, entering the Spleen Yellow Earth Qi Palace.

After the heavy power of the terrain was guided into it, it quickly began to merge with the earth-attribute Dou Qi within. Then, Xiao Yuan began to gather the medicinal power from all parts of his body, refine the essence of the earth power within, and then, with a change of hand seal, inject it into his spleen.

A rich, deep yellow light enveloped his spleen, and a heavy, solid feeling filled Xiao Yuan's entire body.

At this moment, Xiao Yuan's aura seemed to have merged with the earth. Even when the Pill Tower Three Giants arrived, they could not sense even a trace of Xiao Yuan's aura, but could only feel the incomparably heavy power of the earth.

Under the baptism of the earth's power, Xiao Yuan's body also became increasingly resilient.

At this moment, he is like a pupa emerging from its cocoon, undergoing a transformation, waiting for the moment when he breaks free and becomes a butterfly!

Central State, Danta.

Outside the Danta, there is a plaza paved with smooth granite. On weekdays, people come and go here, and the flow of people is almost never-ending. It is also a very popular place in Saint Pill City.

However, at this moment, this square, which should have been bustling with people, was instead filled with a huge crowd. In the middle of the crowd, there was an open space where nearly a hundred figures stood upright. The chilling aura emanating from them caused many people around to change color slightly. It was clear that this group of people were not ordinary people, and now they had come here in such a grand manner, obviously with ill intentions.

"They seem to be from the Xuanming Sect?"

"Could that Gray-Clothed Old Man leading the group be Chen Tiannan, the sect master of the Xuanming Sect? I never expected that even this old monster would personally come. What exactly are they planning to do?"

"It's said that he's here for Xiao Yuan. I heard that Xiao Yuan killed Chen Xian, the Young Sect Master of the Xuanming Sect, at the Alchemist Trading Fair before the Pill Gathering. This old monster must be here to take revenge."

"No wonder they're so murderous. It seems things won't end well today."

Hearing the low whispers around them, the Gray-Clothed Old Man at the head of the crowd's eyes turned slightly cold. His chilling gaze slowly swept across the crowd, and wherever his gaze fell, people felt a chill in their hearts and quickly shut their mouths. The Xuanming Sect was not someone to be trifled with; it was not uncommon for them to draw their swords at the slightest disagreement. Moreover, given their vengeful nature, anyone who offended them would inevitably suffer a terrible fate.

"Sect Leader Chen, this is the Danta. Why have you brought so many people here, all filled with murderous intent? What exactly do you want?"

As everyone was stunned by Chen Tiannan's sinister gaze, a cold shout suddenly came from the Danta. Immediately afterward, an old figure led a large number of Danta experts out and stood on the square. Everyone looked at him and saw that it was Qiu Ling, the Pill Tower Grand Elder Qiu Ling.

"Elder Qiu, you don't need to use the Danta to intimidate me. Others may fear this, but I am not." Chen Tiannan stared coldly at Qiu Ling and said, "My son died at the hands of Xiao Yuan. Today, I'll make my words clear: I've come here to make him pay with his life!"

Qiu Ling frowned and said in a deep voice, "That Chen Xian dared to attack the next president of my Danta. He was outmatched and was killed. My Danta has never even bothered with your Xuanming Sect. Yet you are so arrogant that you dare to come here and cause trouble!"

"Hmph, I've heard that Xiao Yuan killed someone to steal treasure? I think it's better to hand him over to me so I can question him properly!"

Chen Tiannan said coldly.

"What do you take the Danta for? You think you're worthy of it? You, Chen Tiannan, don't have that kind of prestige!"

Seeing that the old man was deliberately causing trouble, Qiu Ling also became somewhat impatient and coldly shouted.

"Elder Qiu, what a show of power! No matter what, the Xuanming Sect is one of the three lower sects of my Tianming Sect. If we can't even avenge the son of the sect leader, who will believe in my Tianming Sect in the future?" Qiu Ling's cold shout had just fallen when a figure slowly walked out from behind Chen Tiannan and smiled faintly.

"Who are you?"

Qiu Ling squinted at the figure that came out. The person seemed to be quite young, tall and slender, with an extremely handsome face, almost like a woman's. However, the hint of ferocity between his brows made his outstanding appearance seem a little cold.

"Tianming Sect, Yi Chen."

The handsome man smiled slightly, exuding an extraordinary air, but the moment his simple name was uttered, it sent a chilling and murderous intent through the air.

"Tianming Sect, Yi Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Ling was slightly taken aback, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Yi Chen? Could it be Yi Chen, the one from the Tianming Sect known as Yi Shura?"
