Sixth-Rank Pills? A Sensation in the Gama Empire

"Dou Zong..."

Contemplating this terrifying realm, Yun Yun could not help but marvel. Even though her own cultivation talent was already stunning, after all these years, she had only reached the level of a Dou Huang.

Let alone a Dou Zong, even among the Dou Huangs of the same rank, there were no shortage of people in the Gama Empire stronger than her.

Yun Yun sighed. "Alas, it is truly a pity that we failed to recruit a genius like Xiao Ze into our Misty Cloud Sect during this trip to Wutan City."

Nalan Yanran could see that her teacher, Yun Yun, admired Xiao Ze to an extraordinary degree, and how could she herself be any different?

She had wondered more than once in her heart: if the marriage contract set by the Xiao Family elder and her own grandfather had been between her and Xiao Ze, how wonderful would that have been?

If that were the case, she would never have gone to his home to annul the engagement, and the relationship between the two families would not have become so strained.

Thinking of Xiao Ze's astonishing talent, Nalan Yanran's heart was filled with admiration and awe.

A genius like Xiao Ze was the only one worthy of her!

Yet, Xiao Ze seemed indifferent toward her, completely ignoring her existence.

However, Nalan Yanran was not displeased by this; instead, she felt that it was only natural for an outstanding man to have his own temper and personality!

In the mountains behind the Xiao Family in Wutan City.

After Xiao Ze had cultivated for two hours, a system panel reward appeared before his eyes.

[Host has cultivated for two hours without interruption. Obtained random reward: medicinal ingredients required to refine the Tier 6 Imperial Extreme Pill, deposited into the system inventory.]

A Tier 6 medicinal pill, the Imperial Extreme Pill.

It could help a Dou Huang powerhouse increase their strength by one star. It was an extremely precious existence, and each person could only consume one Imperial Extreme Pill in their lifetime.

Although Xiao Ze had now reached the ability and rank of a Tier 4 Alchemist, the Imperial Extreme Pill was, after all, a Tier 6 pill.

Medicine Elder could help Xiao Ze refine it. Never mind a Tier 6 pill; even for a Tier 8 pill, it would be effortless for Yao Chen in his prime.

It was just a pity that the current Yao Chen existed only as a soul body.

Compared to his peak, he was far inferior.

But for Yao Chen, refining a Tier 6 pill was not difficult at all.

At this moment, several lines of text appeared on the system panel before Xiao Ze.

[Current Task: Sell one Tier 6 Imperial Extreme Pill and cause a sensation throughout the Gama Empire.]

[Task Reward: One purple treasure chest, capable of yielding a purple-tier reward.]

[Accept task? Please choose.]

Xiao Ze was still quite expectant; he wondered what kind of reward this purple treasure chest could produce.

Judging by the color of the chest, the reward inside would certainly be extraordinary.

Xiao Ze accepted the system task, then awakened Yao Chen from the Storage Ring and said, "Teacher, these are the ingredients for the Tier 6 Imperial Extreme Pill. Please help me refine it; I have an important use for it!"

"What? A Tier 6 Imperial Extreme Pill?"

For Yao Chen, a Tier 6 pill was nothing; it held no great difficulty.

Although the current Yao Chen's strength was far from his peak, with the Bone Chilling Flame at his disposal, refining a Tier 6 pill was not a difficult task.

What truly surprised and caught Yao Chen off guard was how Xiao Ze knew the formula for the Imperial Extreme Pill and had even collected the ingredients.

This Imperial Extreme Pill was a Tier 6 pill; obtaining such rare ingredients was no easy feat. How did he manage it?

While Yao Chen was still surprised, he heard Xiao Ze say, "Teacher, I will have to trouble you later."

Yao Chen nodded. "A small matter!"

Although Yao Chen was very puzzled, he did not dwell on it. Since Xiao Ze needed it, he would naturally support him to the end.

Thus, he began to refine the Tier 6 Imperial Extreme Pill.

Over an hour passed, and through the refinement of Yao Chen's Bone Chilling Flame, an Imperial Extreme Pill was successfully produced.

Yao Chen said, "Although I do not know how you, little fellow, came to know the formula for the Imperial Extreme Pill and managed to collect such hard-to-find ingredients..."

"I must point out that this Imperial Extreme Pill is a very precious Tier 6 pill."

"Not only because its grade reaches Tier 6, but also because its ingredients are not easily found."

"Of course, the most important thing is that any Dou Huang powerhouse can only consume this pill once in their lifetime!"

Xiao Ze stored the Imperial Extreme Pill in his Storage Ring and immediately set off for the Mittel Auction House in Wutan City, to see Ya Fei.

According to the task requirements on the system panel, as long as he sold the Tier 6 pill and caused a sensation in the Gama Empire, he would complete the task and receive the purple treasure chest reward.

Xiao Ze was still quite expectant; after all, this was a Tier 6 pill appearing in the Mittel Auction House of Wutan City.

Once the news spread, it would surely be difficult not to cause a shock throughout the Gama Empire, right?

Before long, Xiao Ze arrived at the Mittel Auction House. Seeing that the visitor was the Xiao Family's Fourth Young Master, Xiao Ze, Ya Fei was quite surprised.

"Fourth Young Master Xiao Ze, what time do you have to come visit big sister today?"

Ya Fei revealed a charming smile, intending to tease Xiao Ze with a joke.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ze remained very serious. He retrieved the Imperial Extreme Pill from his Storage Ring and looked at Ya Fei before him.

"I must entrust your house to auction a medicinal pill for me—a Tier 6 medicinal pill, the Imperial Extreme Pill."

"Auction a pill? Very well, no problem, leave it to me. Our Mittel Auction House has branches all across the Gama Empire; you need not worry about our reputation, Fourth Young Master."

Just as Ya Fei finished speaking, she suddenly realized what she had heard. What tier did Xiao Ze just say the pill was?

A Tier 6 medicinal pill, the Imperial Extreme Pill?

The smile that had been hanging on Ya Fei's face vanished in an instant, replaced by utter shock!

She froze on the spot.

Even Gu Ni, the Tier 2 Alchemist Master beside her, was left dumbfounded.

Let alone a Tier 6 pill, even a Tier 3 medicinal pill was an extravagant luxury for Gu Ni.

"A Tier 6 pill? The Imperial Extreme Pill?"

Ya Fei's expression was one of profound shock.

Xiao Ze said indifferently, "This Imperial Extreme Pill can allow a Dou Huang expert to increase their strength by one star."

"What!"

Ya Fei's expression was incredibly shocked. Her face changed drastically as she thought, Xiao Ze is actually able to produce a Tier 6 medicinal pill?

She could not believe it, so she asked Gu Ni to help verify it.

But he was only a Tier 2 alchemist; he couldn't verify a damn thing!

Thus, they had no choice but to send someone to the Mittel Family headquarters in the Imperial Capital of the Gama Empire, requesting them to use their connections to bring in an alchemist capable of identifying a Tier 6 pill.

There was only one Tier 6 alchemist in the Gama Empire, and that was none other than the Pill King, Gu He!

Teng Shan of the Mittel Family, the Pill King Gu He, and Fa Ma of the Alchemist Grand Meeting were all together, discussing the preparations for the upcoming Alchemist Grand Meeting.

Mid-discussion, they received a message transmitted by Ya Fei, who managed the branch in Wutan City.

They had just received a Tier 6 Imperial Extreme Pill from Xiao Ze, the Fourth Young Master of the Xiao Family in Wutan City, who wished to put it up for sale.

However, before it could be sold, the pill required authentication.

"What? A Tier 6 pill, the Imperial Extreme Pill? It can increase a Dou Huang expert's strength by one star?"

"Xiao Ze of the Wutan City Xiao Family—this Tier 6 pill was produced by him?"

Gu He's first reaction was pure shock.
