Soul Awakening Breakthrough Pill

As the bright and warm sunlight tore through the thick clouds and shone on the mountaintop, a melodious ancient bell chime slowly resounded throughout the space.

As the bell tolled, the space atop the mountain suddenly distorted slightly, and then seven aged figures appeared without warning on a stone platform in the plaza. Upon seeing these seven elders, many people in the plaza bowed and respectfully said, "Greetings, Seven Elders!"

Within the Little Pill Tower, the Great Elder Council holds the highest decision-making position. These elders naturally hold extremely high status, and most of them are selected from within the Little Pill Tower. They are highly respected individuals, and therefore, the people within the Little Pill Tower have considerable faith in their words.

Xiao Yuan mingled in the crowd, his gaze also fixed on the seven old men. His eyes slowly swept over them, finally settling on the four in the center. Among these seven, the aura of these four was particularly strong, especially that of the old man in the very center, dressed in hemp clothes with a calm and composed expression, who made Xiao Yuan take notice.

"Two Intermediate Half-Saint, one Advanced Half-Saint, and another who should be a Dou Sheng Expert at the early stage of the second star level. Not bad, but still a bit lacking compared to the Soul Hall."

Xiao Yuan's gaze lingered on the Hemp-Clothed Elder, and he sighed softly in his heart.

"That Hemp-Clothed Elder is the Great Elder of the Little Pill Tower. He is the most senior person in the Little Pill Tower besides the Ancestor. Even I have to show him the respect due to a junior."

Beside Xiao Yuan, the Yao Lao spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan was secretly astonished. Even Yao Lao had to show respect to him as a junior. The seniority of this Great Elder was truly terrifying.

As Xiao Yuan stared at the Hemp-Clothed Elder, the latter seemed to sense it as well. His pair of eyes, as deep as the starry sky, turned to Xiao Yuan, and then a slight fluctuation flashed in them.

Even with his soul power, he couldn't see through Xiao Yuan's strength. Could this young man have truly reached the Heaven Realm Great Perfection? Yes, the Pill Tower Three Giants did not reveal Xiao Yuan's true strength. After all, Quasi-Emperor Realm Soul is not something that can be believed just by being told.

However, the Heaven Realm Great Perfection is different.

This realm could only be reached by the ancestor of the Ninth Grade Mysterious Pill of the Little Pill Tower, but other elders in the late stage of the Heavenly State had always been in a state of being able to look up to it but not reach it. Therefore, after learning about this matter, they must have been quite curious about Xiao Yuan's abilities.

Based on this alone, it wouldn't hurt to change some minor rules, since they have no other ambitions besides alchemy.

When the Great Elder looked over, Xiao Yuan's brows twitched slightly. He could feel an invisible force pressing down on the surrounding space. This pressure was imperceptible to others, but only he, as the person directly involved, could clearly feel it. However, for him, this pressure was not as great as the pressure he had endured in the Soul Ocean when refining the soul Soul Origin of the Heavenly Tomb Soul! Seeing Xiao Yuan's completely unaffected and calm face, the Great Elder nodded almost imperceptibly, shifted his gaze, and his aged and calm voice rang in the ears of everyone present:

"Today is a rare lively day in my Little Pill Tower. This is not the first time everyone has experienced the elder selection. I won't go into the rules again. The Medicinal Herbs all over the mountain are available for the refiners to take. Whoever refines the best quality pill will naturally be the winner. If you have no questions, those who have qualified to participate in the selection, please come out."

Although the Great Elder was very old, he was efficient and decisive in his work, without any unnecessary words. He pointed to the square in front of him and said calmly.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing the Great Elder's words, some respectful voices rose from the crowd, and then figures emerged one after another, each finding an open space in the square.

"Then I'll go out too."

Seeing these people's actions, Xiao Yuan also smiled.

"Okay, keep it up!"

Xuan Yi smiled.

Xiao Yuan nodded, and then his figure flashed, appearing without warning in an open area amidst the astonished gazes of those around him.

Xiao Yuan's appearance undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. Most of the old guys here were the kind of people who rarely went out. Although they knew that the selection had started ahead of schedule, this kind of thing had happened before, so they didn't know why such a young person had suddenly appeared in this selection.

"This young man is named Xiao Yuan. He is Yao Chen's disciple and also the next president of the Danta. According to the rules, he is also qualified to participate in the selection of elders."

The Great Elder glanced around the arena and said calmly.

"I see."

"I didn't expect that old fellow Yao Chen to take on another disciple."

"However, the selection of elders is no ordinary game. Could it be that Yao Chen is deliberately letting this young man gain some experience?"

As soon as the Great Elder finished speaking, some whispers arose in the square. Although the title of the next president of the Pill Gathering Association carries considerable weight, it is still somewhat insufficient to compete with other senior elders for the position of elder. Therefore, many people believe that Yao Chen deliberately sent Xiao Yuan here to experience the demeanor of the seniors and learn some experience.

Xiao Yuan didn't care what these people were thinking. He closed his eyes slightly and adjusted his state.

As one aged figure after another appeared on the empty square, the rest of the people slowly retreated to the edge of the square. Then the Great Elder spoke again, "If everyone is ready, then let's begin."

Upon hearing the Great Elder's words, the atmosphere in the square immediately tensed up, and everyone's expression gradually became solemn.

"Clang!"

In the tense atmosphere, a crisp metallic sound suddenly rang out, followed by a series of sounds as people took out imposing medicine cauldrons from their Storage Ring and placed them heavily in front of them.

Fire!

As the medicine cauldrons landed, a shout followed immediately. Instantly, flames of varying colors, all remarkably restrained, rose from the cauldrons, causing the temperature of the area to rise rapidly.

Looking at the numerous medicine cauldrons around him, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly, extended his right palm, and then clenched it tightly. Golden flames rose from his palm.

"Boom!"

The flame had just appeared when it suddenly expanded, and amidst the astonished gazes of many, it condensed into a golden cauldron made entirely of flames.

"This is... Heavenly Flames?"

"This young man has impressive fire control, but isn't he worried that he won't be able to manage it when using flames to form a cauldron?"

Xiao Yuan's creation of a cauldron from Heavenly Flames immediately drew many astonished glances, and whispers began to circulate.

The Flaming Cauldron floated before Xiao Yuan, slowly descending from the platform. Its extremely solid appearance caused many Alchemic Grandmaster to look somewhat solemn. To control the Heavenly Flames so skillfully required immense power of manipulation and soul strength. Not far away, Old Freak Hou was also drawn to the commotion. He frowned slightly, then sneered, "All that flashy stuff. The younger generation is just a younger generation." Looking at the Flaming Cauldron that had taken shape before him, Xiao Yuan flicked his finger. Flames appeared out of thin air within the cauldron, transforming into nine fire dragons that coiled and spread within it.

Having formed a medicinal cauldron, Xiao Yuan did not continue refining pills, but slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing his bizarre behavior, the people around him were once again taken aback, but judging from the skill Xiao Yuan had shown earlier, no one would underestimate this seemingly young man.

"I wonder what kind of elixir Xiao Yuan intends to refine this time?"

Among the crowd, Xuan Kongzi also looked at Xiao Yuan and pondered.

"Xiao Yuan has basically mastered everything I know. I couldn't refine Rank 9 Pill before. Although I exchanged four pill formulas with some old guys these past few days, there's only one ninth-grade one among them. Therefore, including the two I got together, I can only leave him a handful of three."

The Yao Lao said softly, "At this level, the importance of prescriptions becomes even more prominent. Without prescriptions for Rank 9 Pill, it would be a pipe dream to refine pills. However, the rarity of ninth-grade prescriptions is no less than that of Heaven-rank Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills. Even the Yao Lao, after collecting for so many years, only has two volumes of ninth-grade prescriptions, and they are for the lowest-grade Ninth Grade Treasure Pill."

After a moment, Xiao Yuan, who had gone through the refining method in his mind several times, finally opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and with a flick of his sleeve, took out the Soul Origin extracted from the ' Gu Yang '.

As a powerful expert at the Late Five-Star Dou Sheng, this ' Gu Yang ' already possessed soul power that had reached the late stage of the Heavenly State Soul realm.

Furthermore, the forced fusion of the souls of the Soul Clan members has resulted in his soul realm reaching not only the late stage of the Heavenly State, but also a considerable distance from the Heaven Realm Great Perfection.

Therefore, simply refining this extracted portion of the Soul Origin can raise the refiner's soul realm from the Mid-Stage Heavenly State to the late-stage of the Heavenly State.

This time, Xiao Yuan was not going to refine the three kinds of Rank 9 Pill that Yao Lao was familiar with.

Instead, it was Rank 9 Pill that Xiao Xuan obtained from a prescription he had seized from a Ninth Grade Alchemist of the Soul Clan.

The Ninth Grade Treasure Pill, the Soul Awakening Breakthrough Pill.

It is made primarily with the Origin Soul Qi of a late-stage Heavenly State expert, supplemented by the refinement of thousands of Medicinal Herbs. It has the effect of giving the user a 70% chance to directly break through from the late-stage Heavenly State to the Heaven Realm Great Perfection.

Upon seeing that mass of Origin Soul Qi, even the well-informed Yao Lao and the others were stunned.

What are they trying to refine? The Pill Tower Three Giants looked at Yao Lao with puzzled expressions.

He must have his own plans.

The Yao Lao hesitated for a moment. Because of his trust in Xiao Yuan, he did not believe that Xiao Yuan would do something he was not sure of.

"Call out!"

Taking out the Soul Origin, Xiao Yuan waved his hand in the air in front of him, and one Medicinal Herbs after another flew out of his Storage Ring. In the blink of an eye, they densely covered the sky above his head. At a rough glance, there were at least a thousand kinds. Such a terrifying number left even the surrounding alchemists speechless.

Xiao Yuan ignored everyone's surprise. He lightly tapped the air with his finger, and many Medicinal Herbs were separated from the torrent of Medicinal Herbs. They were then quickly thrown into the cauldron and devoured by the nine fire dragons inside.

In the sky, countless Medicinal Herbs, under Xiao Yuan's control, were almost connected in a line, continuously being poured into the medicine cauldron. In just a few minutes, a terrifying energy fluctuation spread out from the medicine cauldron, causing the surrounding space to ripple slowly.

Although Xiao Yuan's alchemy caused quite a stir, it didn't draw everyone's attention to him for long. This was the Little Pill Tower, where all the Alchemic Grandmaster who had once held extremely prestigious titles in the Central State gathered. Their standards were not only extremely high, but the alchemists who were competing with Xiao Yuan were also formidable opponents. Each of them produced a thunderous sound as they refined their pills, creating quite a spectacle. If this kind of competition were held in the Central State, it would undoubtedly captivate countless alchemists.

Among the many Alchemic Grandmaster, besides Xiao Yuan, the most attractive one is none other than Old Freak Hou. No matter how unlikable his personality may be, his alchemy skills are beyond doubt. The fact that he almost snatched the championship title from Yao Lao Pill Gathering is enough to demonstrate his talent in alchemy. Moreover, Old Freak Hou is no longer the young man he once was. After so many years of cultivation, his alchemy skills have undoubtedly improved rapidly. Even in this Little Pill Tower, there are only a handful of people who can surpass him!

At this Old Freak Hou was focused intently on the medicine cauldron. Around him, several streams of Medicinal Herbs were constantly rotating. Every now and then, a Medicinal Herbs radiating rich energy would be added to the Medicinal Herbs, and then quickly refined and solidified. He performed each step with great skill, and every move he made exuded the demeanor of a grandmaster.

On the stone platform, the Seven Elders slowly swept their gazes across the scene, and finally nodded slightly.

"It seems that Hou Qing has a high chance of winning this time."

One of the elders smiled as he looked at Old Freak Hou's imposing manner. Hearing his words, the other elders around him nodded slightly. Old Freak Hou's alchemy skills were no less than theirs.

Among them, the Great Elder dressed in hemp robes remained silent, his hands tucked into his sleeves, his indifferent gaze turning toward Xiao Yuan's direction. Over the years, there had been very few people he could not see through at all, yet this young man named Xiao Yuan gave him the same feeling.

He had never heard of a pill made from the Soul Origin, but judging from the strength of that Soul Origin, it probably came from someone whose soul realm had reached the late stage of the Heavenly State.

It should be noted that even for him, his soul realm was only at the late stage of the Heavenly State.

Using the Soul Origin of a powerhouse of this level to refine medicine must be no simple matter! It seems that this little guy not only possesses a soul power that has reached the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, but his medicine refining skills are also quite formidable! Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out such a precious item to refine medicine.

However, the materials used in this pill seem to be typical of the Soul Hall's style. The Great Elder of the Little Pill Tower suddenly felt uneasy.
