Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill

"Teacher, can you secure the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill?"

Xiao Li had not expected to come across the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill at this time. It was a Grade 7 Pill personally created by Old Man Yao.

The Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill was a pill that helped one rise after being pushed to the brink of death, breaking and standing anew. When its user suffered a fatal injury, it could grant them an opportunity for transformation and breakthrough.

Breaking and standing anew meant shattering one's former restraints and undergoing a metamorphosis. Whether it was the body, soul, or even Dou Qi, all could rise to a higher level. However, once the medicinal effect was activated, one had to endure immense torment before emerging from the cocoon as a butterfly.

Xiao Li remembered that both Venerable Feng and Xiao Yan had relied on the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill to break and stand anew, advancing to the Dou Zun realm. This was truly a good item, practically half a resurrection artifact.

Xiao Li wanted to obtain it not for himself, but for Old Wang. The Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill's effect of breaking and standing anew might someday lend Old Wang a helping hand.

The difficult part was how to trigger the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill's effect. For a Dou Emperor Expert like Old Wang, how could he be so easily gravely injured?

Get it first and figure out a way later. The Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill should be able to help Old Wang reach the Dou Ancestor Level!

Xiao Li had already made up his mind to obtain the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill.

"What kind of pill is the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill? I've never heard of it. Sect Leader Ye, please explain it for us." This was also Old Wang's first time hearing of the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill.

Old Wang had encountered great opportunities himself, yet the inheritance of the Peak Rank 7 Alchemist he had received contained no such pill.

Ye Xuan said, "Alright! The Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is a Grade 7 Pill. It is said that to refine it, one first needs the Magical Cores of two Dragon-Type Magical Beasts that have been dead for no more than seven days. Furthermore, the Magical Cores must be at least Rank 6.

"It is said that when this pill is successfully refined, a celestial phenomenon appears. One yin and one yang dragon soul soar from the cauldron into the sky, intertwining with each other before finally condensing into the pill itself. The Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill does not directly increase one's strength. Instead, it allows one to break and stand anew!"

"Break and stand anew?"

"If you consume this Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, then should you suffer grave injuries or be at death's door in the future, if you are lucky, this thing can grant you an opportunity to break and stand anew.

"So-called breaking and standing anew means shattering one's former restraints and undergoing a metamorphosis. Whether it is the body, soul, or even Dou Qi, all can rise to a higher level!"

Old Wang stroked his beard. "It actually has such benefits? Then the person who created such a pill could not have been some nobody."

Ye Xuan said, "Yes. It is said that the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is connected to the legendary Venerable Yao. This Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill came from the Yao Emperor of Maple City in the Black Horn Region. He placed it here with me for auction.

"That Yao Emperor said that whoever successfully auctions this pill must unconditionally agree to do two things for him!"

"Heh, Yao Emperor? Is he worthy of that title? A mere Rank 6 Alchemist dares call himself Yao Emperor?" Old Wang said disdainfully.

"Old Huang, watch your words! That Yao Emperor claims to be Venerable Yao's disciple. Although Venerable Yao died some time ago from backlash while refining pills, Starfall Pavilion still stands. The Yao Emperor's backing is not something people like us can provoke."

Ye Xuan spoke anxiously. In his eyes, Old Huang was good in every way except that he spoke too bluntly and could easily offend others.

"That's impossible!" Old Wang shot to his feet, and an extraordinarily powerful surge of Dou Qi burst from his body. The immense pressure directly overturned Xiao Li along with the chair he was sitting on.

Ye Xuan, standing before Old Wang, was forced back half a step by that powerful Dou Qi, while Zhuo Tian on the other side staggered several steps backward.

"With Venerable Yao's cultivation and Alchemy abilities, how could he possibly die from alchemy backlash? This is clearly a lie!" Old Wang roared.

"Teacher! Rein it in, I can't hold on much longer!" Xiao Li shouted. It was his first time experiencing Old Wang's Dou Qi pressure so directly. A purple Dou Qi armor surfaced around Xiao Li's body, but he still could not withstand it.

Hearing Xiao Li's voice, Old Wang immediately withdrew his strength and slumped back into his chair.

"Hmph! This Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is mine. I don't believe anyone in the Black Horn Region can compete with me in bidding! As for that Yao Emperor's conditions, Old Man knows nothing about them!" Old Wang said angrily.

"Yes, yes, you are right." Ye Xuan felt somewhat embarrassed. He had also cultivated diligently over the past ten years, yet he still remained inferior to Huang Liang—Old Wang.

"Li'er, take a look for yourself. Tell Old Man if there is anything you like." Old Wang handed the auction item list to Xiao Li.

Xiao Li accepted the list. The first thing he chose was this Fire Attribute Earth Rank Low-Level Battle Skill, Heavenly Fierce Slash!

Xiao Li did not yet have a weapon that suited him. After entering the Dou Ling realm, one generally condensed Dou Qi into blades or swords for use. This Heavenly Fierce Slash was just right for him.

"Senior Ye, do you have any Fire Attribute Magic Core Weapons here?" Xiao Li asked. After all, he lacked a suitable weapon.

"We do. It is also among this auction's items. Look, it is the third item on the list: a greatsword named Heavenly Fierce. It seems to share a name with that Battle Skill.

"This greatsword was originally a Magic Core Weapon, but the Magical Core mounted on it was removed, so its price is not particularly high. That is why it was included among this auction's items.

"However, Heavenly Fierce is made of excellent material. It is extremely sharp and sturdy. Even after the Magical Core was removed, the sword itself was not damaged."

Ye Xuan explained it to Xiao Li. Ye Xuan was extremely courteous toward him. After all, he was Old Huang's disciple, and at such a young age had already reached the Dou Ling level. Even in Central Continent, he would be considered a rare genius. It would be best to befriend such a talent.

"Alright, then I'll take this Heavenly Fierce as well, along with Heavenly Fierce Slash. And I want these medicinal ingredients too." Xiao Li pointed at the items he needed on the list.

"Hiss... fine." Ye Xuan felt a pang of heartache. These were all good items. How could a private transaction make as much as an auction? There would always be fools continuously raising the price, but now he would earn far less.

"By the way, Senior Ye, I have two bottles of Two-patterned Azure Spirit Pills and one bottle of Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pills. There are six Two-patterned Azure Spirit Pills and three Purple Heart Breaking Barrier Pills. Put them up for auction here and make up for some of your stock."

Xiao Li took out three Jade Bottles. These ordinary-quality pills were useless to him, so he might as well sell them here.

As for the pills he consumed himself and those used by the Xiao Clan, Xiao Li had personally selected them with great care. The ones of merely average quality had all been sent to the Mittel Auction House for auction.

Xiao Li still had some pills on him. Since he had no use for them anyway, he might as well auction them off. He could always refine more later.

"Alright, then I'll accept them. The Battle Skill and weapon you requested will be delivered to Little Brother shortly." Ye Xuan's expression immediately improved after hearing Xiao Li's words. These pills were all good items, more than enough to make up for his losses.

"Sect Leader Ye, Old Man has a Dou Spirit Pill here as well. Put it up for auction too," Old Wang said at this moment.

"Alright, alright, alright! Thank you for honoring us with your favor, Old Huang!" A high-quality Dou Spirit Pill was a Grade 6 Pill. It would be enough to make those Dou Wangs in the Black Horn Region fight until their heads bled.

"Teacher, I want the Rushing Thunder Mirror and the Insects Awakening Thunder Technique," Xiao Li told Old Wang through voice transmission.

"Oh? You want to prepare them for Old Xiao, right?" Old Wang said with a smile.

"Yes. Grandfather has always cultivated a Mysterious Rank Intermediate Cultivation Method. At his current realm, a Mysterious Rank Intermediate Cultivation Method has already become a hindrance. Now that there is a suitable high-level Cultivation Method, Grandfather should have a better chance of breaking through to the Dou Emperor realm."

Xiao Li wanted the Rushing Thunder Mirror so that he could give it to his grandfather, Xiao Ting, and help him along.

"Such filial devotion is truly rare. Alright, leave it to Master." What pleased Old Wang most about Xiao Li was precisely this filial devotion.
