Hearing Jia He's words, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon did not hesitate in the slightest. "I choose the Third-Turn Dragon Yin Pill!"
As long as one was not foolish, they would choose this pill. Though its three layers of medicinal power could only be unleashed through a life-and-death battle.
But that could not scare the Nether Sea Flood Dragon. It had fought for the empire for many years—when had it not clawed its way back from the brink of death?
Moreover, if it could break through to become a seventh-tier magical beast, such a temptation was simply a fatal blow to the Nether Sea Flood Dragon!
Jia He nodded upon hearing this. "Alright. I'll write down the prescription later. Sister Yaoye, prepare the medicinal ingredients!"
Yaoye nodded. "Alright!"
If the Nether Sea Flood Dragon could truly recover its strength and even rise to another level, it would bring nothing but benefits to the imperial family!
Unfortunately, as the guardian beast of the nation, the Raging Tide Dragon Beast's lifespan was nearing its end. There was no saving it!
If the Raging Tide Dragon Beast and the Nether Sea Flood Dragon both regained their former terrifying strength, then even wiping out the Misty Cloud Sect now would be as easy as snapping their fingers!
Filled with excitement, the Nether Sea Flood Dragon returned to the lake atop the mountain.
Late at night, in the back mountains of the Misty Cloud Sect.
A towering peak stood hidden within the darkness, with a stone door at its summit.
This was the secluded cultivation site of Yun Shan, the eighth sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect!
Within the dim space, a figure in white sat cross-legged atop a meditation cushion. His breathing was long and steady, while a faint trace of Dou Qi drifted from his body.
Buzz!
At that moment, the space trembled, and a cloud of black mist abruptly appeared there.
Yun Shan suddenly opened his eyes. A stream of nearly tangible Dou Qi shot forth from his gaze like lightning.
"Huff! Failed again!" Yun Shan said softly, his tone carrying faint anger and unwillingness!
"Cackle, cackle, cackle. Without my help, with your talent, you can only stop at the peak of the Dou Emperor realm!" a sinister laugh came from within the black mist.
Yun Shan looked coldly at the black mist. "Your help? Over these years, I've already helped you investigate quite a few matters. Why haven't you told me the secret technique yet?"
"Not enough. You have not thoroughly investigated the matter I told you to investigate!" the black mist said.
"You only said that the clan's surname was Xiao and knew nothing else. How many Xiao Clans are there in this empire? Wouldn't it take time for me to eliminate them one by one?" Yun Shan roared angrily.
The black mist fell silent at once, seeming somewhat embarrassed. "That Xiao Clan vanished far too long ago. We also eliminated countless Xiao Clans throughout the Central Plains before finally turning our attention to the Northwest Continent."
"Now, we have even confirmed that the final branch of the Xiao Clan is within the Jia Ma Empire. You should send more people to investigate within the empire!"
"A deal goes both ways. You must tell me the secret technique so that I can continue helping you find them. Otherwise, find someone else to help you!" Yun Shan said coldly.
The black mist cackled. "Fine, fine. As you wish!"
"However, when I returned from outside today, I sensed a trace of an aura appearing in the direction of the Imperial Capital. It disgusted me greatly, yet when I tried to track it, it suddenly vanished!"
"Based on my senses, that aura should have disappeared within the Jia Ma Imperial Palace!"
Hearing the black mist's words, Yun Shan frowned. "Could that old fellow Jia Xing Tian have broken through to Dou Zong?"
"It was not the aura of a Dou Zong. Its strength should be at the Dou Wang level!" the black mist said.
Yun Shan's face darkened. "Are you joking? You are a mighty Dou Zong—could you be afraid of a mere Dou Wang?"
"Of course I am not afraid of a Dou Wang. It's just that the aura was strange. Forget it, I'll pass the secret technique to you first!" The black mist did not pursue the matter further!
Then, the clattering of chains sounded from within the black mist. A jet-black chain radiating a chilling aura suddenly shot out of the black mist.
Yun Shan did not panic. When the chain touched his forehead, a flash of light appeared, followed by a surge of information entering his mind.
Having obtained the Soul Hall's secret technique, Yun Shan's face revealed a satisfied, delighted expression.
"This secret technique can truly help me become a Dou Zong?" Yun Shan asked as he looked toward the black mist.
"It can. Our people in the Soul Hall have already tested it countless times. Rest assured!" the black mist said.
Watching Yun Shan's delighted appearance, the black mist inwardly sneered. This secret technique can not only make you a Dou Zong, it can also turn you into my nourishment!
However, Yun Shan did not know the black mist's true thoughts at this moment.
Half a month later, Yaoye delivered all the medicinal ingredients needed to refine the Third-Turn Dragon Yin Pill.
Fortunately, the imperial family had deep reserves. Though they lacked two rare medicinal ingredients, she had spent a great sum to obtain them from the Alchemist Association and the Mite'er Family.
Yaoye looked at Jia He and said, "There are enough ingredients here for two batches of Third-Turn Dragon Yin Pills."
"That's enough!" Jia He said.
Yaoye nodded, then asked, "By the way, when do you plan to begin refining?"
Jia He asked, "What is it?"
"President Fama heard that you were preparing to refine a sixth-tier pill and wants to observe and learn, so he asked me to inquire!" Yaoye said softly.
Jia He's face darkened. Fama was treating him like an experience pack?
But on second thought, if Fama could gain some insight, it would benefit him as well. In the future, the Alchemist Association would no longer be entirely neutral!
"Alright. I'll begin refining this afternoon. Tell President Fama to come over quickly!" Jia He said.
Yaoye nodded. "Alright!"
Fama arrived very quickly. Upon seeing Jia He, he smiled and said, "I heard you were going to refine another sixth-tier pill, so I came to take a look!"
"It's no problem. President Fama, how does it feel after advancing to the sixth tier?" Jia He asked.
"Very good. Although I can only refine some beginner sixth-tier pills, it is far better than before. And these days, refining pills has felt much smoother!" Fama said with a smile.
"That's good!" Jia He said, then led Fama toward the alchemy room.
The moment they entered the alchemy room, Fama flicked his sleeve, and his medicinal cauldron appeared inside.
"You'll definitely need this cauldron, so I brought it along!" Fama said with a light laugh.
Refining sixth-tier pills truly required a good cauldron.
But as one's soul power grew stronger, the role of the medicinal cauldron would become much smaller.
Jia He's soul power had not yet broken through to the Spiritual Realm. Once he entered the Spiritual Realm, with his strength, he might be able to refine pills without a medicinal cauldron!
Jia He sat before the medicinal cauldron and waved his hand. A terrifying flame surged forth.
This time, refining a sixth-tier pill was much faster than last time. Firstly, his strength had improved, and secondly, his soul power had grown somewhat stronger as well.
In just a few hours, those medicinal ingredients had been completely refined.
As Jia He fused the refined medicinal liquids together, a rich pill fragrance wafted out from the cauldron.
Strands of energy fluctuations spread from the medicinal cauldron, striking its inner walls and producing repeated banging sounds.
Two days later, Jia He clenched his hand, and the lid of the medicinal cauldron was sent flying.
Jia He reached out and grabbed. A palm formed from Dou Qi directly seized the Third-Turn Dragon Yin Pill in its grasp.
