"Well..."
The sudden influx of information into his mind caused Xiao Yan's expression to change drastically as he was lost in thought. A sharp pain shot through his brain, and Xiao Yan's face turned deathly pale.
It took Xiao Yan quite a while to gradually sort out the massive amount of information in his mind, and his pale face gradually returned to normal.
When Xiao Yan focused his mind inward, the first thing he saw in his Xiao Yan was three large, golden characters.
Ice Spirit Pill!
This information is practically a recipe for an elixir!
With a sudden thought, Xiao Yan abruptly raised his head, looked at Gu You in front of him, and asked in a puzzled tone:
" Elder Gu, what's wrong...?"
" Ice Spirit Pill, this is for you to use to devour the Heavenly Flames. Don't forget, with your current strength, it's not that easy for you to devour my original body. Without the aid of the pill, with your current strength, you'd probably be reduced to ashes the moment the Heavenly Flames enters your body."
Seeing the look of surprise on Xiao Yan's face, Gu You looked at Xiao Yan with a playful expression and said with a light laugh.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression faltered slightly. He then remembered that he was currently in the Origin Martial Continent, where the Heavenly Flames were countless times stronger than those in the Dou Qi Continent. How could he possibly devour them at will? Only pills could increase Xiao Yan's chances of absorbing the Heavenly Flames.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but recall the scene when he first devoured the Green Lotus Core Flame. At that time, it seemed that it was thanks to the Earth Spirit Pill Yao Lao that Xiao Yan was spared a lot of pain when devouring the Heavenly Flames, and at the same time, it increased Xiao Yan's success rate in devouring the Heavenly Flames.
And now, a scene strikingly similar to that of years past has once again appeared before Xiao Yan.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Yan slowly closed his eyes, carefully absorbing the information he had just received.
The Ice Spirit Pill is a third-tier pill, classified as a mid-grade third-tier pill. Its refining difficulty is considered quite challenging among all third-tier pills.
Of course, it is precisely because it is difficult to refine that its true value can be demonstrated. After all, the Ice Spirit Pill is something that can rival Heavenly Flames!
The thought that a third-tier pill could actually contend with, and even suppress, Heavenly Flames filled Xiao Yan with secret astonishment.
"Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect that this Ice Spirit Pill could actually suppress the Bone Spirit Cold Flame!"
After a long while, Xiao Yan opened his eyes again, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"Tch, don't pin all your hopes on this Ice Spirit Pill. Although this pill can suppress my true form, it relies not on the power of the pill itself, but on the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid within it."
Just as Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise, Gu You revealed the most important component of the Ice Spirit Pill.
Yes, it is indeed the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid.
Speaking of Ice Spirit Cold Liquid, it is indeed an extremely rare treasure on the continent. Its preciousness is no less than that of Flame-Fallen Black Iron. In addition, it is an essential ingredient for refining many high-level pills. Even many eighth-level pills cannot do without Ice Spirit Cold Liquid as a main ingredient.
Therefore, whenever the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid is discovered on the mainland, it causes a bloodbath, and it is a rare find in auctions.
Of course, this only speaks to the rarity of the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid; as for its function, it is the nemesis of all flames.
The Ice Spirit Cold Liquid originates from Ice Spirit Cold Spring Ice Spirit Cold Spring, which possesses an extremely terrifying cold power. Wherever it is located, the entire world will turn into a hellish abyss, where no living person can set foot and no beast can survive. Even Half-Emperor level magical beasts find it difficult to get close.
If the Heavenly Flames possesses the most terrifying high temperature in the world, then the Ice Spirit Cold Spring possesses the most yin and cold extreme temperature in the world. Under such terrifying low temperature, even the void space will be frozen and collapsed!
Therefore, when the Heavenly Flames and the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid collide, the two extremely opposite temperature differences will cause their powers to diminish each other, eventually reaching a state of equilibrium. This is precisely the effect of the Ice Spirit Pill.
Of course, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame is famous for its accompanying freezing effect, but this is something that Gu You overlooked.
With the protection of Heavenly Flames, Xiao Yan could completely ignore the freezing effect of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. Therefore, as long as he could suppress the violent temperature of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, the rest would depend on Xiao Yan's own fate.
After Xiao Yan finished reading the entire scroll of pill formulas, he couldn't help but cough violently in shock, and the expression on his face turned ugly.
Looking at the entire scroll of pill formulas, apart from the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid mentioned by Gu You, Xiao Yan almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon seeing the other pill-refining materials.
The ingredients for the Ice Spirit Pill are as numerous as a hundred kinds. Although he could gather most of them, the other four left Xiao Yan feeling utterly helpless.
Aside from the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid, the other four are also extremely precious alchemy ingredients. Xiao Yan believed that even with his current wealth, if he sold everything he owned, he could only barely gather three of them. As for the remaining one, including the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid, Xiao Yan could only look on with envy.
"Well..."
With a helpless, bitter laugh, Xiao Yan's brows furrowed involuntarily. He hadn't realized that he had unknowingly become so impoverished.
After exchanging two Emperor Grade Pill for that Flame Crystal, Xiao Yan now only has five Earth-grade pills left. This might be a lot for an ordinary Half-Emperor, but for Xiao Yan, it is far from enough to make up for his losses.
"It seems it's time to find some time to refine some Emperor Grade Pill!"
He smiled wryly to himself, but at the same time, Xiao Yan also wanted to take this opportunity to practice his alchemy skills again. After all, compared with other Second-Tier Alchemist, Xiao Yan had only refined Emperor Grade Pill once. In comparison, Xiao Yan was weaker than other Second-Tier Alchemist in every aspect.
Therefore, this time when Xiao Yan entered the Xilin Mountain Range, he was heading towards the Western Wilderness Region while also cultivating his alchemy skills. This process was also particularly important for Xiao Yan.
With his brows relaxed, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, then sat cross-legged again, forming cultivation hand seals. At this moment, the Flame Mantra Technique within his body also began to circulate, and strands of heaven and earth energy gradually gathered towards Xiao Yan.
Gu You Ning watched as Xiao Yan entered a meditative state once again. She took a deep breath, then moved, transforming into a beam of white light and disappearing into Xiao Yan's body in a flash.
In the pitch-black night, the occasional howl of wolves echoed, and in the dark forest, faint rustling sounds quietly arose. On the mountaintop, energy hurricanes roared incessantly.
This night is not peaceful.
