279: Chapter 279 Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill: Tai Xu Purple Dragon Pill

While Hun Tiandi was pondering his plans, Li Jingzhong's voice came from outside the Star Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Head of the Alchemy Institute has arrived!"

"Come in!" Hun Tiandi spoke indifferently, his voice reaching Li Jingzhong's ears.

"Please, Teacher, take a seat!" Hun Tiandi said as Elder Dan stepped into the main hall and sat down on a chair, while Qing Yue quickly brought over a cup of hot tea.

"Teacher, are you getting used to living here?" Hun Tiandi asked gently, speaking slowly.

"Hehe, very well. This kind of life is just right for an old man like me!" Elder Dan took a sip of hot tea and replied with satisfaction.

"That is good!" Hun Tiandi nodded slightly, then prepared to reveal the plan in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Elder Dan pondered for a moment and said, "Go ahead without worry. As your teacher, how could I hold you back? The Dazheng Dynasty is my home; I will take good care of it!"

"Take more people with you when you go out. Your reputation has spread, and I fear some may try to harm you!"

"It is fine, they are only suspicious!" Hun Tiandi smiled.

"Sigh, this is a pill I refined using the essence blood of a Purple Dragon, supplemented with rare medicinal herbs. It might be of some use to you!"

"Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill: Taixu Purple Dragon Pill!" Elder Dan flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle. Inside the crystal-clear jade bottle, a pill shrouded in purple mist was slowly rotating.

The surface of the pill was extremely smooth, and the purple mist currents condensed into a tiny purple divine dragon. Its head, body, tail, and claws were all incredibly lifelike.

It emitted bursts of dragon roars. Even through the jade bottle, the surrounding air vibrated. The dragon-eye-sized pill was surrounded by purple mist like a dragon's shadow.

It made anyone who heard the dragon roar tremble in their soul under the dense dragon might.

"Ah..."

"What is this thing? Take it away, it's too terrifying!" Suddenly, Qing Yue, who was standing to the side, had a timid face that turned pale as paper, her dark eyes flashing with panic.

It was as if she had seen something terrifying, and she kept retreating in panic.

"Boom!"

Qing Yue's petite body collided with the table behind her, and the tea bowl fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Li Jingzhong, who was outside the Star Palace, heard the crashing sound in the main hall and hurriedly entered to ask.

"Qing Yue, what is wrong with you!" Hun Tiandi stood up and walked toward Qing Yue.

"The pill, take it away!" Qing Yue said in panic.

Elder Dan frowned slightly. With a flick of his aged palm, Dou Qi surged out to envelop the jade bottle containing the Taixu Purple Dragon Pill, causing the dragon might to dissipate.

Only then did the panicked Qing Yue recover.

"Qing Yue, are you alright?" Hun Tiandi looked at the panicked Qing Yue cowering in the corner, spoke gently, and placed his palm on her head.

As if a force had been infused into her, Qing Yue calmed down and woke up from her fear.

She turned her head to look at the jade bottle containing the pill, which was wrapped in Elder Dan's Dou Qi, as if she had realized something.

"Jingzhong, take Qing Yue out first!" Hun Tiandi ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Jingzhong bowed respectfully and left the Star Palace with Qing Yue.

"What is going on?" Elder Dan watched the two leave and asked, puzzled.

"Bloodline suppression! Qing Yue possesses the bloodline of the Snake-people. When she sensed the dense dragon might emitted by the Taixu Purple Dragon Pill, the bloodline suppression from a superior being caused her snake-like bloodline to fear the Taixu dragon might!"

Hun Tiandi drank his tea and explained the key point.

"So that's it!" Elder Dan nodded slightly upon hearing the cause and effect.

Subsequently, he dispersed the enveloping Dou Qi. Hun Tiandi looked at the pill that had condensed into a dragon shape, a look of shock appearing on his face.

The art of alchemy is truly a creation that defies the heavens.

Hun Tiandi had previously seen two Ninth-Grade Treasure Pills: the Golden Skin Jade Bone Pill and the ice spirit cold pill.

He did not expect to see another Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill today: the Taixu Purple Dragon Pill. A Ninth Grade Pill? Many people might not have the qualification to see a pill of this level in their entire lives.

Now, this legendary high-grade pill had appeared before his eyes.

"The function of this pill lies in body refining, tempering the physical body. For a strong practitioner, only when the body, Dou Qi, and soul advance together can one be on the right path!"

Elder Dan spoke indifferently. Cultivation on the Fighting Qi Continent prioritizes Dou Qi, with the soul as secondary, and the physical body ranked last.

People do not pay attention to the tempering of the physique, because the resources required to walk this path are incomparably vast.

Furthermore, the willpower required must be incomparably tenacious; tempering the physique is extremely, extremely arduous.

If one's will is not firm enough, one cannot succeed.

Additionally, there is a certain probability that during body refining, one can extract the Purple Dragon Qi contained within the Taixu Purple Dragon Pill.

Being able to inherit the Purple Dragon Qi exerts an extremely strong sense of suppression over Magical Beasts.

If one has the opportunity to obtain a sound-wave type Dou Technique and successfully cultivate it, it can also be used as a trump card.

On the Fighting Qi Continent, while there are many offensive and defensive Dou Techniques, sound-wave Dou Techniques, like Soul Techniques, are extremely rare. Even first-class factions may not necessarily have a collection of this type.

Half a month later, the Xiao Sect welcomed a big figure.

"Who is it that dares to trespass into the Xiao Sect?" Xiao Yujie of the Xiao Sect shouted sternly. Upon seeing who it was, he stood up to welcome her. A figure of The Lady in White slowly appeared on a chair in the main hall.

"Sister Xiao, why are you here?" A touch of excitement appeared on Xiao Yujie's cold face.

"I can't come? You're doing quite well for yourself in the Black-Corner Region, Yujie!" The person who arrived was none other than Xiao Xiao, who teased him.

"Not at all. If I had known Sister Xiao was coming, I certainly would have prepared to welcome you!" Xiao Yujie said, a glint of light appearing in his eyes.

"Brother Lin has already entered the forbidden area and inspected the seal. He found no anomalies. The master of the Dazheng Dynasty that your intelligence mentioned, Hun Tiandi, is likely just a case of having the same name!"

Xiao Xiao brought news from Xiao Lin. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yujie's expression faltered.

The original plan was to have Xiao Lin lead the strong experts of the clan to destroy the Dazheng Dynasty, so that the Xiao Sect could monopolize the Black-Corner Region.

In one fell swoop, they would ascend to become a hegemon, a faction capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the Jia Nan Academy.

But the plan did not develop in the expected direction, which made Xiao Yujie somewhat angry.

"I still have things to do, I must leave..."

As Xiao Xiao's voice fell, the charming silhouette sitting on the chair had already disappeared from the spot.

"Sect Leader, what did Miss Xiao Xiao come for?" Elder Ri, who was beside him, asked solemnly. He had also heard some of what the Sect Leader said earlier.

"What else could she come for? To supervise me!" Xiao Yujie said coldly, turning back to sit in the main seat.

"Sect Leader, should we take action directly?" Elder Ri suggested.

"No, we do not have accurate intelligence on how many strong experts are inside the Dazheng Dynasty. Charging in blindly will bring huge losses. Let's wait and see!"

Xiao Yujie heard this and rejected Elder Ri's suggestion.

In fact, the reason Elder Ri was so proactive about attacking the Dazheng Dynasty was that his good brother, Elder Yue, had fallen at their hands.

Naturally, he wanted revenge, but relying on his own strength was not enough to crush and destroy them.

Previously, when he entered the Water Pavilion Courtyard, an old man beside Hun Tiandi had casually waved his hand, and an unstoppable force had sent him flying.

He had fallen from the sky, crashing heavily into the Xiao Sect, and his injuries were extremely severe.

Up until now, his injuries had only recovered by about sixty percent. Earlier, someone in the Xiao Sect told him that a big figure had arrived.

Therefore, he could not wait to come out of seclusion to see if he could incite them to kill their way to Chang'an City and take the opportunity to avenge his brother.
