The Possibility of Refining a Ninth Tier Pill Across Ranks, the Resurrection Officially Begins
(I've seen the feedback. I didn't intentionally pad out the first two chapters, so I apologize if they didn't feel right. I'll add an extra chapter today.)
The telepathic message was transmitted into the Bone Flame Ring.
Xiao Yan waited quietly for Yao Lao's reply.
Soon, the Bone Flame Ring trembled slightly, and a wisp of soul power slowly flowed out from it.
Subtly, it seemed to be drawing upon the Power of Heaven and Earth.
The Yao Lao's Soul Body emerged from the Bone Flame Ring and hovered in mid-air. It was so solid that it didn't seem like a soul, and it didn't seem very illusory.
After briefly sensing the power, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up with joy. "Teacher, your Soul Power has broken through to a higher level?"
The Yao Lao first nodded, then shook his head. "It's still a little short."
"This Heavenly Realm Soul seems to complement the breakthrough to Dou Sheng. Now that my physical body is missing, I'm always just a little bit away from a true Heavenly Realm Soul."
"Now I should be considered Half-Step Heavenly Realm soul, already possessing the power to mobilize some of the Power of Heaven and Earth, but I am still just a little bit away from the true Heavenly Realm."
Half-Step Heavenly Realm?
Xiao Yan was speechless. As his cultivation progressed to the later stages, the gap between cultivation levels widened, and the concept of "half-step" appeared more and more frequently.
There's a concept of half a step between each star level, which is really difficult to manage.
Despite his inner complaints, Xiao Yan still sincerely congratulated him, saying, "Half-Step Heavenly Realm is already very good. It's worth it for you, Master, to have spent these past few months in seclusion cultivating your Soul Technique day and night."
The Yao Lao shook his head with a smile, "No matter how much you cultivate that Soul Technique, it's impossible for it to improve your master to such a great extent."
"It's still you, Yan'er. These past few months, you've been having the Alliance search for Heavenly Treasures and Earthly Riches to enhance my Soul Power, which is why I was able to raise my Soul Power from the Peak Spirit Realm to the Heavenly Realm."
Xiao Yan smiled and didn't try to claim credit.
"Teacher, my Soul Power is now at the Half-Step Heavenly Realm. The Dou Saint Skeleton, the blood Ninth-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence, and the pill is the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill I recently refined, which triggered the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning. I think that after being resurrected, I can directly cross the threshold of Semi-Saint and break through to the Dou Sheng realm." Xiao Yan said.
The Yao Lao stroked his beard and smiled, "It should be possible."
I never imagined that the threshold that has stumped so many people would be crossed by yours truly.
If I hadn't been betrayed by Han Feng back then, if my mother hadn't taken the Bone Flame Ring from me, if I hadn't met you, Yan'er.
Even with normal cultivation, I might not have reached the Dou Sheng realm by now."
After saying this, Yao Lao suddenly paused, noticing the key point in Xiao Yan's words. "Wait, Yan'er, you said you refined the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill?!"
Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly.
Similar to a child seeking praise from their parents, his intentional or unintentional display of having refined the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill reflects the same mentality.
To him, the Yao Lao was no different from a father.
"Teacher, look." Xiao Yan took out the Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill, and the rich medicinal fragrance instantly spread. The abundant spiritual energy contained within it made Yao Lao instantly certain that this Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill must be a top-grade Eighth Tier pill!
The Yao Lao's eyes widened in shock, and he said in disbelief, "This is indeed a top -Eighth Tier Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill, enough to attract Nine-Colored Pill Lightning."
But Yan'er, how could you possibly have refined it? Could it be Yan'er you had some great opportunity while I was in seclusion for the past few months?"
Xiao Yan shook his head, opened his hand, and eight dormant, spiritual Heavenly Flames slowly rose from his palm.
"Teacher, we have to thank these Heavenly Flames for this."
"Do you remember that time I was short of energy for my breakthrough? It was the manifestation of the Heavenly Flames that gathered and infused energy into me, allowing me to break through smoothly."
"This time is the same, except that it gathers spiritual energy to infuse into my Bone-Growing Blood-Melting Pill, directly elevating it to a quality capable of triggering the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning."
The Yao Lao understood and nodded, saying, "This method is somewhat similar to my Spirit-Raising Method."
"However, Yan'er, the upper limit of your technique for Heavenly Flame Manifestation should be even higher."
Xiao Yan, puzzled, asked, "What does Teacher mean by this?"
The Yao Lao, "Heavenly Flames is a fire born from heaven and earth. Regardless of its energy intensity, its essential level is the same."
"You can gather the energy of heaven and earth with your Heavenly Flames, and you can also gather spiritual energy. When your cultivation level is higher and you have collected more Heavenly Flames, you may be able to mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth!"
The difference between Tier 8 Medicinal Pill and Tier 7 Medicinal Pill and those below lies in whether they contain spiritual energy.
The difference between Tier 9 Medicinal Pill and Tier 8 Medicinal Pill lies in whether it contains the Power of Heaven and Earth.
"If you can harness the power of the Heavenly Flames to manipulate the Power of Heaven and Earth, you can directly advance to refine Tier 9 Medicinal Pill!"
Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly felt a surge of excitement.
Refining Tier 9 Medicinal Pill across ranks?!
If he could refine Tier 9 Medicinal Pill, he would truly have entered the top echelons of the continent. Even those Dou Sheng Expert and the high-ranking members of the Ancient Eight Clans would treat him with respect and courtesy.
At that time, it won't be him gaining the Ancient Clan's recognition, but rather the Ancient Clan trying to win him over as one of their own!
"Yan'er, this is just my guess. Whether it will work depends on your further improvement in alchemy skills, and then you can try it yourself," Yao Lao.
Xiao Yan snapped out of his daze and nodded, saying, "Understood, teacher."
Alchemy may earn me respect.
Ultimately, however, strength is still the most important factor.
I won't miss either one.
After calming himself down, Xiao Yan said to Yao Lao, "Teacher, let's help you revive first."
"Once you're resurrected, I'll have Dou Sheng as my backer. Then I'll be the one bullying others, and no one will be able to bully me!"
Yao Lao laughed loudly, pointed at Xiao Yan, and said, "Haha, you little rascal."
At the same time, he thought to himself, "Yan'er, once I am resurrected, no one will be able to bully you anymore."
After a brief conversation, Xiao Yan took out the remains of One-Star Dou Saint from his Storage Ring.
This skeleton, the remains of Soul Clan Expert, was Dou Saint Skeleton) after his fall. It was entirely jade-white and exuded a heavy, holy aura that made people's breath catch in their throats.
Xiao Yan withstood the pressure, and all the Heavenly Flames within his body surged forth, merging into one.
After the recent Heavenly Flame Manifestation Heavenly Flames, their spirituality has subsided, but the intensity of the flames has not been lost. However, he can no longer rely on the Fire Spirit to assist in refining them.
But with his current alchemy skills and the assistance of the Fire Spirit, whether he has it or not makes little difference.
The high temperature of the Fusion Heavenly Flame caused the temperature of the surrounding space to rise sharply.
At the same time, Xiao Yan took out a bottle of Ninth-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence from his Storage Ring.
The five bottles of Ninth-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence came from five different Ninth-Rank Magical Beast. These magical beasts had different strengths in life, so the strength of their blood essence also varied.
The bottle that Xiao Yan took out was the one with the richest energy, and its owner may have reached the level of a two- or three- Dou Sheng during his lifetime.
It's a little heartbreaking to Yao Lao being used, but it's totally worth it!
Without further hesitation, Xiao Yan opened the jade bottle and poured every drop of the Ninth-Rank Magical Beast Blood Essence onto the Dou Saint Skeleton.
Then, the Fusion Heavenly Flame climbed up and burned fiercely!
