"Huh? Then don't the effects overlap?"

When Gu Rong heard that, he stared at Ning Bei with a dumbfounded look.

"You can eat both. They both raise cultivation anyway."

Gu Rong's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"You mean the effects of these two elixirs can stack, right?"

Ning Bei nodded.

"That's right. This purple one is called the Purple Heart Obstacle Breaking Pill. It can raise a Soul Elder or Soul Ancestor's cultivation by one rank of Soul Power, and each person can eat two of them."

Gu Rong no longer knew what to say. Did this brat even hear what he was saying? In other words, if a rank 37 Soul Elder walked up to him, they could turn into a rank 42 Soul Ancestor in the blink of an eye. If the boost from a Soul Ring was counted too, becoming rank 43 directly made sense as well. Why hadn't he run into something this good when he was a Soul Elder?

Expressionless, he nodded and looked at the last elixir in Ning Bei's hand.

"Tell me about it all at once. Even if it's another elixir that raises cultivation, your grandpa won't be surprised anymore."

Seeing his strange expression, Ning Bei scratched his head in embarrassment.

"No, Bone Grandfather, this one doesn't raise cultivation. This red elixir is called the Beast Strength Pill. After taking it, it greatly increases strength, by around fifty percent, and it can stack with the effect of the Power Storage Pill from my first ring."

After the previous shocks, Gu Rong had already developed resistance, even though the Beast Strength Pill's medicinal effect was also extremely powerful.

"Let's go. Let's head back. I want to see Old Sword Man and Fengzhi's shocked expressions."

Ning Bei nodded, and the two immediately started their return trip.

"What? It can directly increase Soul Power?"

"This is truly unheard of."

After Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin heard Gu Rong recount what had happened this time and the effects of the elixirs, they looked at Ning Bei in shock.

When they saw him nod, confirming that it was indeed true, they became even more excited.

However, Ning Bei's words poured cold water over the two of them.

"It's impossible to mass-produce these elixirs this time. Even after absorbing a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, my current Soul Power is only enough to produce one Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill and one Purple Heart Obstacle Breaking Pill each day."

After a brief moment of disappointment, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin expressed understanding as well. If such heaven-defying medicinal effects could be mass-produced like the previous elixirs, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's wealth would double immediately. If these two types of elixirs were put up for auction at the Seven Treasure Chamber of Commerce, each one could fetch a sky-high price of tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins, or even more.

"That's enough. It's just that for now, they'll only be enough for the Sect's Core Disciples to take, so we won't put them up for auction."

After pondering for a moment, Ning Fengzhi gave his view.

After Ning Bei listened, he nodded.

"These elixirs can't be eaten in large amounts anyway. Including two Purple Heart Obstacle Breaking Pills, each person can eat three in total. I'll make two for you first. You can arrange who takes them yourselves."

The three of them looked at Ning Bei in confusion.

"Bei Er, aren't you going to take them?"

"I will, but not now. I'll wait until I cultivate to rank 46 before taking them. Then I can break straight through to the Quasi Soul King realm. After that, I'll just stabilize my cultivation a bit before going to obtain a Soul Ring."

When the three heard this, they immediately understood, sighing inwardly that Ning Bei's mind really worked quickly. If he were rank 40, of course he could also eat these two elixirs, but then he could only rise to rank 44. Ning Bei's method was clearly more worthwhile.

Although making the Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill and Purple Heart Obstacle Breaking Pill required a huge amount of Soul Power, the efficiency of making the first three grades of elixirs had increased greatly. After refining two fourth-grade elixirs each day, the Soul Power he recovered could produce nearly a thousand first-grade elixirs. If he only made second-grade Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, he could also produce over a hundred bottles. As for the third-grade Mind Awakening Pill, he could only make several dozen.

Ning Bei decided that one day each week, he would not make fourth-grade elixirs and would use it specifically to make Mind Awakening Pills. He could not delay his own cultivation efficiency just for other people's convenience.

Over the next few days, Ning Bei placed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear A Bao into the fourth floor of the Pill Pagoda and discovered that cultivating there each day could bring it eight years of cultivation. Ning Bei also deduced that the efficiency of the Alchemy Fragrance on each floor of the Pill Pagoda was double that of the previous one. The first floor gave one year, and so on. By the fourth floor, it was eight years.

With the current efficiency, A Bao would be able to enter the level of a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in less than three years. At that point, with the Man Faced Demon Spider staying on the third floor included, he would be able to walk sideways. One had to know that the Man Faced Demon Spider was also a Soul Beast with a powerful bloodline. It was just not as freakishly abnormal as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Including some Soul Beasts being raised freely on the first and second floors, Ning Bei alone would be able to launch a controllable Beast Tide when the time came.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was also using the entire Sect's strength to search for Soul Beasts with powerful bloodlines, wanting to raise Ning Bei's strength to another level.

After absorbing the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring last time, Ning Bei's Soul Power had directly reached rank 43. Ning Bei was confident that with the help of the Mind Awakening Pill, he could raise his cultivation to rank 46 within half a year, but he did not plan to do that, because he intended to eat three fourth-grade elixirs at rank 46 and directly rise to rank 50.

If he focused entirely on cultivating Soul Power now, it might cause his Soul Power to become unstable and superficial, so for the next half a year, he only planned to consolidate his cultivation.

He would become a heartless elixir-making machine.

Aside from making the necessary elixirs each day, Ning Bei also summoned A Bao and the Man Faced Demon Spider to fight, enriching their combat methods. Working behind closed doors would not do. When the time came, if the two Soul Beasts only had cultivation but no combat techniques, they would easily suffer losses against Soul Beasts of the same level. Wild Soul Beasts and high-level Soul Masters had all experienced tests of life and death.

A Bao, with 1,500 years of cultivation, could easily suppress the 2,100-year Man Faced Demon Spider. A duel did not have much training effect, so Ning Bei released the Hurricane Hunting Falcon, Golden Armor Battle Bear, and the other Soul Beasts all at once as well, launching an inhumane group beating against A Bao.

During this period, Soul Beasts would occasionally be injured, but who was Ning Bei?

He stuffed Wound Recovery Pills and Bone Growth Pills into the injured Soul Beasts' mouths as if they cost nothing.

That was right. After testing, Ning Bei discovered that his elixirs were effective on Soul Beasts too.

With the help of healing elixirs, those injured Soul Beasts immediately became full of life again and threw themselves back into battle.

In just a few short days, A Bao and the other Soul Beasts' battle awareness improved significantly. The most direct sign was that even if A Bao no longer put on a fierce and vicious expression and simply stood there, one could still sense a murderous aura from it.

Ning Bei planned to ask Bone Douluo to help test A Bao and the Man Faced Demon Spider's combat strength once they both reached Ten-Thousand-Year Cultivation.

You asked why he did not look for Sword Douluo? Someone who used a sword struck too heavily. It was not suitable.

The regular days passed just like that. During this period, Ning Bei went to a small town near Sunset Forest to find Dugu Yan and gave her one Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill and two Purple Heart Obstacle Breaking Pills. These two types of fourth-grade elixirs could also be taken during the Soul Elder stage, and the increase was even greater. The Three-Pattern Azure Spirit Pill could bring a Soul Elder three ranks of Soul Power. Of course, the Mind Awakening Pill was also indispensable.

Those few elixirs earned him countless fragrant kisses from the Maiden, while Dugu Bo, who was beside them, almost had his eyes pop out after learning the elixirs' effects.

"There are actually elixirs like this? Are the alchemists of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect immortals?"
