Ninth-Rank Alchemist
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, you casually refined a batch of Tier 8 Pill, the Primordial Origin Pill.
Five-Colored Pill Lightning appeared, and ten golden puppets flew out of your Storage Ring, easily catching the Pill Lightning, leaving Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi dumbfounded.
Whether it's Tier 8 Pill that can refine Five-Colored Pill Lightning at such a young age, or a puppet that can withstand Five-Colored Pill Lightning without being damaged, they are both extremely rare.
Geniuses who can refine Tier 8 Pill are extremely rare.
During your search for the Heavenly Flames, you made some unexpected gains. With enough materials, you crafted ten puppets according to the Heavenly Demon Puppet Manufacturing Method.
The original puppets were not golden, but through the tempering of the Pill Lightning, they all evolved into golden Heavenly Demon Puppet level.
You weren't surprised by the crowd's shock, but the giant in Xuan Yi seemed to dislike you, even showing some disgust.
[Besides Hu Jia, the lesbian from the Jia Nan Academy, this is the second woman who dislikes you, causing you to frown and glance at Xuan Yi a few more times. Could it be that she...]
I don't know if you have any items, otherwise it would be very suitable to introduce them to Hu Jia.
Fortune changes every thirty years, so never underestimate a young girl's potential!
[Pill Tower, you read through the alchemy-related books within the Pill Tower, discussed alchemy with Xuan Kongzi and Tian Leizi, and gained a lot, becoming vaguely confident in refining Ninth-grade Pill.]
However, during this process, the powerful Xuan Yi often causes you trouble, either by forcibly seizing the classics or by making sabotaging remarks during your discussions, which gives you a headache.
A few days later, Pill Tower seemed to have investigated your background and was much more at ease with you.
Having obtained higher-level alchemy texts, you are preparing to break through to become Ninth-Rank Alchemist. Apply to the Pill Tower to attempt fusing with the Three Thousand Burning Flame.
[During your studies, Cao Ying, a disciple of Xuan Kongzi, approaches you.]
Cao Ying was also a member of the Cao Clan, and was known as a femme fatale.
Her life was almost legendary; she displayed an awe-inspiring spiritual power from the moment she was born.
Cao Ying's mother was almost killed on the spot by the spreading soul power. When she was seven years old, she officially became an Alchemist. At the age of fifteen, she was noticed by the Pill Tower and became a core disciple of the Pill Tower. She cultivated in seclusion in the Pill Tower for five years. At the age of twenty, she became the youngest Seventh-Rank Alchemist in the Cao Clan.
When you first learned of his achievements, you were truly astonished.
Both being Eighth-Rank Alchemist, the more famous Medicine Elder's disciple Han Feng was actually quite inept at alchemy.
Even if he sacrificed some parts of the incomplete Flame Mantra he obtained for cultivation, resulting in a lower level of Dou Qi, this should not hinder his understanding of alchemy.
Given that Han Feng is so much older than Cao Ying, the fact that he is only Sixth-Rank Alchemist is enough to show that Han Feng is far inferior.
Even so, Han Feng, who was Sixth-Rank Alchemist like Pill King Gu He, was still considered a genius by Medicine Elder.
As you pondered, you deeply felt the Medicine Elder's favoritism.
Even after the betrayal, Han Feng was still regarded as a son by him; he, a newcomer, was merely a tool for Han Feng's resurrection.
Cao Ying did not mention the conflict between the Cao Clan and the Ye Clan, but instead asked you about things related to alchemy.
The other party is Xuan Kongzi's only disciple, and possesses exceptional talent; naturally, you wouldn't refuse this opportunity to befriend him.
Cao Ying was tall and slender, dressed in a black dress that exuded a cool and aloof temperament. Her skin was as white as snow, and her long black hair was casually draped over a fragrant fan. Her face was slightly thin, but exceptionally delicate, like porcelain, making one feel reluctant to put it down.
The woman stood at the entrance of the main hall, gazing into the distance. Her long, narrow, and slightly languid eyes held a captivating and alluring charm.
A faint smile slowly curved at the corners of her slender lips... The moment that smile appeared, her delicate and alluring face instantly became enchanting.
[Having spent a long time with Medusa, you didn't lose your composure despite Cao Ying's alluring appearance, even though Cao Ying's brows furrowed slightly as she left.]
[In your quest to refine Ninth-grade Pill, you begin your arduous journey through Saint Pill City. The unexpected appearances of the powerful figure in Xuan Yi to assist you leave you bewildered. Has he taken the wrong medicine?]
[However, with the help of a powerful figure in Xuan Yi familiar with the area, you quickly obtained what you needed.]
[You only have two sets of materials for refining Ninth-grade Pill. To focus your attention, dispel your doubts, and prevent Xuan Yi from interfering at a crucial moment, you plan to consult Xuan Kongzi, another powerful figure, to understand the situation.]
Having understood your question, Xuan Kongzi pondered for a while before explaining the reason to you.
[To your great surprise, it turns out that Xuan Yi is the type of woman who, upon first meeting someone she likes, would show various forms of disgust and aversion. It was only after his persuasion that Xuan Yi changed her attitude.]
[After Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, he told you to keep this a secret, otherwise he'd be in trouble.]
[Back at your residence, you felt much more at ease about the subsequent alchemy, but you found Xuan Kongzi's answer somewhat difficult to accept.]
[Three days later, you contacted the three giants, Xuan Kongzi, and began refining Ninth-grade Pill.]
[After failing once, you learned from your mistake, refined your technique repeatedly, and successfully crafted Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill using the second batch of materials, which attracted the Black Demon Lightning.]
[That Black Demon Lightning was incredibly terrifying. Although its quantity was less than that of Eighth-Tier Pill Lightning, each strike was enough to deter even some Half-Saint level experts from taking it lightly.]
[Relying on the Lava Heaven-Burning Art, which has already reached the Heaven Tier, you withstood the attack and are now preparing to further strengthen the Heavenly Demon Puppet.]
Unfortunately, the intensity of the Black Demon Lightning exceeded the Heavenly Demon Puppet ' tolerance limit, and without any enhancement, it was completely destroyed on the spot, leaving only one of the ten Heavenly Demon Puppet.
[However, they withstood the Black Demon Lightning, and your Ninth-grade Pill was successfully refined. You have become Ninth-Rank Alchemist.]
[This left the three giants somewhat stunned, and they all congratulated you. Ninth-Rank Alchemist at less than thirty years old—your talent is truly terrifying.]
[You mentioned your intention to attempt to fuse the Three Thousand Burning Flame, and the three giants readily agreed.]
However, having just refined Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, you need to rest and recuperate to get into peak condition.
[After cultivating by consuming Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill you refined yourself, you broke through to the Nine-Star Dou Zun. When you woke up, you unexpectedly found Zi Yan back home.]
It turned out that the opponent was Ancient Void Dragon, and its bloodline level was very high, which shocked you for quite a while.
You're not a naive kid anymore; you know very well what the Ancient Void Dragon means.
