Dou Venerate Pill of Five-Colored Pill Lightning

Jiang Cheng no longer argued with him. After the two traveled together and made a name for themselves on the Eastern Continent, they parted ways due to their respective affairs.

Many years had passed since then, and he had no idea where Mang Tianchi was now.

"I once promised your Dean that, if the opportunity arose in the future, I would help you refine a Dou Venerate Pill and break through to the Dou Venerate realm."

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Hundred Elders knelt once more, their faces filled with excitement. "Mister, you can help us break through to Dou Venerate?!"

The two had been stuck at the peak of Dou Zong for many years. Though they had hopes of eventually becoming Dou Venerate Experts, there was no definite answer as to when that might happen. Perhaps tomorrow, or perhaps ten years from now.

Even Dean Mang Tianchi had once said that breaking through to Dou Venerate was not difficult; the difficult part was the long, tedious wait.

Only those who had experienced it firsthand could likely understand that feeling.

Jiang Cheng smiled calmly. "A promise I made is naturally as good as gold. Otherwise, when your Dean returns, he will start grumbling at me again."

"I happen to have the medicinal materials needed to refine a Dou Venerate Pill. I will help you refine them here."

The Thousand Hundred Elders were so excited they were nearly in tears. They immediately arranged for Vice Dean Hu Gan to escort all Inner Academy disciples to the Outer Academy. The Dou Venerate Pill was an Eighth-Grade Pill. Though its grade was not particularly high, the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon it produced would certainly be no small matter.

It would even be more than enough to destroy all buildings within several miles.

Jiang Cheng also intended to refine it in Jia Nan Academy's Back Mountain, which was the safest option. Judging by his current materials, he could refine roughly four Dou Venerate Pills. He would take the remainder back for Cai Lin and Yun Yun.

Following the Vice Dean's order, Jia Nan Academy's Enforcement Team immediately arranged for the disciples cultivating in the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower to leave the Inner Academy at once. Those who disobeyed would be dealt with according to academy rules!

Though these disciples did not know what had happened, they still obeyed the rules and left the Inner Academy.

At the same time, several Alchemists from Jia Nan Academy appeared at the Back Mountain. Old Man Huo, a Sixth-Grade Alchemist, was especially thrilled. Observing a high-grade Alchemist refine pills could yield twice the result with half the effort, and might even indirectly improve his techniques, allowing him to advance to a Seventh-Grade Alchemist.

As the surrounding heavens and earth began to change, Jiang Cheng's pill cauldron abruptly appeared before everyone.

A dense Aura erupted with astonishing force.

The surface of the cauldron was carved with lifelike golden dragon and fire phoenix totems. As the cauldron slowly rotated, those flame totems actually seemed to come alive.

They could even hear deafening Dragon's Roar and phoenix cries.

"What a fine cauldron. It is far superior to the pill cauldrons in our academy!"

Old Man Huo looked up at the Pill Lightning circling overhead and could not help swallowing. He then said in a low voice, "Silence. Pill refinement is about to begin. No one is allowed to interfere with Mister's refinement. All Elders, remain alert of the surroundings. Prevent any Magical Beasts from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, and protect Mister!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Cheng softly reminded them, "From this point on, everyone should sit cross-legged and observe. The Pill Lightning energy produced by an Eighth-Grade Pill is highly beneficial to anyone. However, if you cannot withstand its attacks, do not force yourself. Retreat immediately."

"Thank you, Mister!"

Everyone spoke in unison, thanking Mister for his life-changing grace.

With the appearance of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, the surrounding heat instantly reached an unimaginable temperature. The flowers and grass around Jiang Cheng were ignited and turned to ash.

The terrifying thunderclouds seemed to foretell that the upcoming pill would be extraordinary. They continuously gathered toward a single point, and their horrifying power instantly shrouded Jia Nan Academy's entire Back Mountain.

Even the Thousand Hundred Elders, who stood at the peak of Dou Zong, were drenched in sweat. Was this the energy produced by an Eighth-Grade Pill? It was actually this terrifying.

It was truly enough to make one tremble with fear.

Under such a horrifying threat, some Dou Wangs clearly felt their bodies growing uncomfortable and quickly flew farther away to continue observing.

Tiny arcs of electricity also appeared around Jiang Cheng. The pill cauldron was filled with the scorching heat of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, and the spiritual herbs thrown inside melted beneath the temperature of the Heavenly Flames. Yet the medicinal liquid unexpectedly developed a will of its own, crazily crashing against the cauldron as it tried to escape.

However, beneath the Golden Dragon Phoenix Cauldron, that pool of medicinal liquid had no ability to resist. It was directly suppressed until it could not move, and even began to feel fear.

When Heavenly Thunder emerged, heaven and earth lost their color!

The strength of the thunderclouds determined the pill's precise quality. The more powerful the pill, the more unbearable the phenomenon it attracted.

Time passed second by second, and the oppressive feeling in the surroundings grew increasingly intense. Fierce winds rushed towards them, and mountains as hard as iron shattered inch by inch. The flying rubble left everyone dumbfounded.

First Elder Su Qian also arrived at this moment. Looking at the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, his heart trembled in shock. "What terrifying Energy fluctuation. Is this what it looks like when an Eighth-Grade Pill is about to take shape?"

Jiang Cheng Understatedly injected a trace of Dou Qi, quickly gathering all the medicinal liquid together. This also proved that the four pills were about to take shape.

Because it was an Eighth-Grade Pill, refining it was no easy task. A full day had already passed, yet the scorching heat allowed everyone within several hundred miles to feel that violent power.

At the same time, countless Alchemists drawn by Jiang Cheng had gathered here. Experts filled the sky and ground, though all of them had only entered after receiving notification from Jia Nan Academy.

If anyone tried to force their way in, the Thousand Hundred Elders would kill them immediately. No one was permitted to interfere with Mister's pill refinement.

Time passed again. Another three days went by, and Jiang Cheng, seated in place, slowly opened his brilliant eyes.

In only a few breaths, the pitch-black thunderclouds transformed into dazzling five-colored thunderclouds beneath countless stunned gazes.

Because of the Dou Venerate Pill's extraordinary value, refining it was naturally as difficult as reaching the heavens, with an extremely high failure rate. Even experienced Eighth-Grade Alchemists did not have absolute confidence in successfully refining one.

Moreover, a Dou Venerate Pill capable of producing Five-Colored Heavenly Lightning was simply unheard of. Experts capable of successfully refining a Dou Venerate Pill were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns, while Dou Venerate Pills with colored Heavenly Thunder had appeared only three times across the entire Dou Qi Continent.

And all of them had been refined by Ninth-Grade Alchemists.

From this alone, one could see just how valuable Jiang Cheng's Dou Venerate Pills were. Even on the Central Continent, they could be sold for an astronomical price.

"So this is the legendary colored Pill Lightning. It truly is Five-Colored Pill Lightning. I never expected Mister Confucian Sage to be not only a Dou Saint Expert, but also capable of refining such terrifying pills."
