Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill

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

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

The Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill could help someone survive a desperate situation and achieve Breaking and Standing. When its user suffered a fatal injury, it could provide an opportunity for transformation and breakthrough.

Breaking and Standing meant shattering one's former limitations and undergoing a transformation. Whether it was the body, soul, or even Dou Qi, all could rise to a higher level. However, once the pill's effects were activated, one had to endure immense suffering 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 achieve Breaking and Standing and break through to the Dou Zun realm. This was truly good stuff, 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 Breaking and Standing effect might one day lend Old Wang a helping hand.

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

"Let's secure it first and think of 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 get 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 as well, yet the inheritance left by the Peak Rank 7 Alchemist he had obtained contained no such pill.

Ye Xuan said, "Alright! The Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is a Rank 7 pill. It is said that to refine it, one must first obtain 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 refined, strange phenomena appear in the heavens. One yin and one yang dragon soul rush from the cauldron into the sky, entwine with each other, and finally condense into the pill itself. The Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill does not directly increase one's strength. Its effect is Breaking and Standing!"

"Breaking and Standing?"

"If you take this Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, then should you be seriously injured or at death's door in the future, if you are lucky, this thing can grant you an opportunity for Breaking and Standing.

"Breaking and Standing means shattering one's former limitations and undergoing a transformation. Whether it is the body, soul, or even Dou Qi, all can rise to a higher level!"

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

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

"That Emperor Yao said that whoever successfully auctioned off this pill, regardless of who they were, had to unconditionally agree to do two things for him!"

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

"Old Huang, please mind your words! That Emperor Yao claims to be Venerable Yao's disciple. Although Venerable Yao reportedly died some time ago from an alchemy backlash, Starfall Pavilion still stands. The Emperor Yao'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 abruptly stood up, and an extremely powerful surge of Dou Qi burst from him. The immense pressure directly knocked Xiao Li and the chair beneath him over.

Ye Xuan, who stood before Old Wang, was forced back half a step by the powerful Dou Qi, while Zhuo Tian on the other side retreated several steps.

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

"Teacher! Rein it in! I can't hold on much longer!" Xiao Li shouted. This was the first time he had experienced Old Wang's Dou Qi pressure so directly. Purple Dou Qi armor appeared around Xiao Li's body, but even then, he could barely withstand it.

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

"Hmph! This Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill is mine. I refuse to believe anyone in the Black Horn Region can compete with me in bidding! As for that so-called Emperor Yao's conditions, I know nothing about them!" Old Wang said angrily.

"Yes, yes, you are absolutely right." Ye Xuan felt somewhat embarrassed. He had cultivated diligently over the past decade, yet he still remained inferior to Huang Liang.

"Li'er, look through it yourself. Tell me if there is anything you like," Old Wang said, handing the auction 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 suitable weapon. After reaching the Dou Ling realm, people generally condensed blades and swords from Dou Qi. This Heavenly Fierce Slash suited him perfectly.

"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 one of this auction's items. Look, it is the third item on the list: a greatsword called Heavenly Fierce. It seems to share a name with that Battle Skill.

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

"Still, Heavenly Fierce is made from excellent material. It is extremely sharp and durable. Even with the Magical Core removed, the sword itself was not damaged."

Ye Xuan explained it to Xiao Li. He was extremely courteous toward Xiao Li. After all, Xiao Li was Old Huang's disciple, and reaching the Dou Ling realm at such a young age made him a rare genius even in the Central Continent. It would be best if he could befriend such talent.

"Alright, then I want this Heavenly Fierce as well, along with Heavenly Fierce Slash. I also want these medicinal ingredients." Xiao Li pointed to the items he needed on the list.

"Hiss... fine." Ye Xuan felt a pang of pain. These were all good items. How could a private transaction be as profitable as an auction? There would always be fools willing to keep raising the price. But now, he would earn much less.

"Oh, right, 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 to make up for your inventory."

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

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

Xiao Li still had some pills on him. Since he would not be using 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 you soon, little brother." 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, I have 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 me, Old Huang!" A high-quality Dou Spirit Pill was a Grade 6 Pill. It was enough to make the Dou Kings of the Black Horn Region fight until their heads bled.

"Teacher, I want that Rushing Thunder Mirror and the Insects Awakening Thunder Technique." Xiao Li conveyed the message to 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 is already holding him back. Now that there is a suitable high-level Cultivation Method, Grandfather should have a greater chance of breaking through to the Dou Emperor realm."

Xiao Li wanted the Rushing Thunder Mirror so he could give it to his grandfather, Xiao Ting, and lend him a helping hand.

"Such filial devotion is truly rare. Alright, leave it to your teacher." What Old Wang admired most about Xiao Li was his filial piety.
