713: Chapter 713 Ninth-Grade Profound Pill, Eighth-Grade Pill

Outside the Medicine Cauldron in front of Yao Ling, wisps of thick purple Qi were continuously expelled, then inhaled, then expelled again, cycling back and forth.

It was as if something inside the Medicine Cauldron had come alive and was breathing incessantly.

The plaza on Yao Mountain was deathly silent; the sight of Yao Ling performing Alchemy with waste residue was spreading like wildfire.

"Impossible, this is impossible."

Yao Tian did not intervene, waiting for the final result. A hint of anticipation grew in his heart; if Yao Ling successfully refined the Grade 9 Profound Pill, the title of the continent's number one Alchemist would fall upon the Medicine Clan.

What an honor this would be for the Medicine Clan.

Liu Ling asked curiously, "Can she really refine a Medicinal Pill?"

Hun Tiandi smiled slightly. When Yao Ling had previously refined the medicinal dregs, he had already dispersed the Qi of Myriad Desires. As long as she followed the technique, she should succeed.

After the three great Alchemists failed, Yao Ling was the only one left to draw upon the energy of heaven and earth, which was enough to complete the pill.

This unreserved consumption lasted for seven days before everyone felt things quiet down significantly.

Looking up in the direction of Yao Ling, the pillar of energy that reached the heavens and connected to the earth had quietly dissipated, and a sky-blue Medicine Cauldron hovered in mid-air.

Startling energy of heaven and earth radiated from within, permeating the surroundings.

Yao Ling's expression was grave; if the cauldron exploded, she would either die or be severely injured.

"The energy of heaven and earth within a radius of ten thousand li has become extremely thin..."

Yao Tian sighed helplessly and reached out with a grab. If they wanted to restore the previous concentration, it would take at least half a year.

The limit distance for a Great Perfection Soul of the Heavenly Realm was ten thousand li, unless...

To draw energy of heaven and earth from a greater distance, one's Soul Power needed to advance further, reaching the legendary Emperor Realm; an Emperor Realm Soul was an entirely different world.

It was rumored that in ancient times, there were super experts with an Emperor Realm Soul who could manipulate the power of heaven and earth across half of the Central Plains with a single thought; such a level was truly terrifying.

Inside the Medicine Cauldron was a huge, crystal-clear ball of light. Deep within it was a light shadow resembling a fetus; it was the prototype of the Ninth Grade Pill.

Rumble...

Suddenly, dark clouds gathered, covering the entire world. Pitch-black lightning surged with destructive power.

It wove through the sky like a black Dragon, emitting a low, muffled roar that struck fear into people.

Yao Ling looked up at the sky, black lightning flashing in her beautiful eyes. The Medicine Cauldron opened, and an inseparable medicinal fragrance permeated the entire Yao Mountain.

Crystal-clear raindrops fell. The descent of the Pill Rain, such a creation of heaven and earth, shocked everyone's hearts.

At the head of the table, Yao Tian's eyes were filled with excitement as he spoke tentatively.

"The Pill Rain falls, the Profound Pill emerges!"

Drip, drop...

The Pill Rain fell across the sky, landing on the plaza, gathering pure energy of heaven and earth. If refined, it would provide a certain boost to Dou Qi.

A faint smile appeared on Yao Ling's beautiful face. She had, of course, heard of 'The Pill Rain falls, the Profound Pill emerges.'

"I succeeded..."

She reached out to catch the Pill Rain, her palm trembling slightly. With her current ability, the success rate for refining a Grade 9 Profound Pill was less than twenty percent.

This time was too lucky; Gu Jiyu, Ruan Xing, and Old Man Shennong had failed one after another with exploding cauldrons, which was why the Profound Pill succeeded today.

Yao Ling had successfully refined the Grade 9 Profound Pill; this rare sight had finally been witnessed with their own eyes.

In the sky, thick dark clouds swirled with black lightning, exuding a world-destroying might.

Hum...

A beam of light shot out from the Medicine Cauldron, piercing into the clouds, with a light ball resembling a fetal egg thrusting into the dark clouds.

Streaks of black lightning, as if provoked, roared and struck toward the beam of light. Such bombardment made even Yao Mountain tremble, deafening to the ears.

Yao Ling's expression was tense as she watched the light ball; that was the Grade 9 Profound Pill. Only by successfully surviving the Lightning Tribulation would it break from its fetal shell.

Outsiders could not intervene.

The heaven and earth Pill Tribulation would make the Profound Pill increasingly perfect. The fetal egg continuously absorbed the essence of the lightning, and the light ball became more and more brilliant as electric arcs danced around it.

Crack...

After a long period of violent bombardment, a faint cracking sound rang out, causing everyone's hearts to shudder. Immediately, cracks spread across the entire light ball.

Boom...

The light ball shattered in response, and a rich medicinal fragrance spread out. Various shapes of medicinal herbs condensed in mid-air, as if the various herbs had appeared in the world; it was truly miraculous.

Swish...

Suddenly, a light shadow shot toward the outside of Yao Mountain like lightning, its figure radiating medicinal fragrance as if it were tangible.

"The Grade 9 Profound Pill, is it actually trying to escape?"

The moment the Profound Pill appeared, the spectators gasped in surprise, their gazes burning and their eyes filled with greed.

With the rare birth of a Grade 9 Profound Pill, almost no one could remain calm.

Hmph!

Suddenly, a cold snort rang out in mid-air, tightening everyone's hearts. Yao Ling's expression turned cold, and she slammed her hand out, condensing a massive palm print with vast Dou Qi.

She grasped at the void, instantly dispersing the light of the shadow, revealing a naked baby boy with bright eyes, looking extremely adorable.

She tapped her finger on the baby boy's forehead. Its body trembled, and it faded into a pill the size of a dragon's eye, round and plump, permeating with medicinal fragrance.

She flipped her hand to take out a jade bottle, set a Seal, and then placed the Grade 9 Profound Pill into the jade bottle.

The terrifying energy contained within this Profound Pill was extremely frightening.

Gu Jiyu smiled faintly, "Yao Ling, you refined a pill from waste residue. Your attainments in Alchemy are unparalleled on the continent. The title of the continent's number one Alchemist belongs to no one but you."

There was regret and excitement in Old Man Shennong's eyes. Back then, Yao Chen had cultivated a monstrous Alchemist, and now the Medicine Clan had produced another peerless Prodigy.

The Medicine Clan Elders looked at each other, the excitement and thrill in their eyes difficult to suppress.

Rumble!

Suddenly, dark clouds appeared in the sky again, filled with low rumbles of thunder. This appearance was clearly the sign of Pill Lightning forming.

"Pill Lightning? Has a Seventh Grade Pill emerged?"

Seeing this phenomenon, the plaza on Yao Mountain was once again in an uproar. The previous grand spectacle of the Grade 9 Profound Pill's emergence had caused everyone to directly ignore the existence of Hun Tiandi.

They hadn't expected that he was also about to complete his pill?

"My god, I almost forgot about him."

"Who isn't? Looking at the Pill Lightning, it's just a Seventh Grade Pill."

Everyone's gazes were immediately drawn; the energy fluctuations emanating from the Medicine Cauldron made them wonder, what kind of pill was this guy trying to refine?

There was neither joy nor sorrow in Hun Tiandi's eyes; he had long since understood this in his heart.

He had never displayed his Alchemy skills to the outside world, and this time, participating in the Medicine Ceremony was just something he did casually.

Eighth Grade Pills were considered the pinnacle of the pyramid in the world of Medicinal Pills.

Seventh Grade and Eighth Grade, although only one grade apart, were as different as heaven and earth.

Eighth Grade Pills possessed spirituality and even initially possessed intelligence. Eighth Grade Pills possessed their own lives.

And the quality of an Eighth Grade Pill was determined by the color of the Pill Lightning.

The higher the quality of the Medicinal Pill, the more colors of Pill Lightning it would attract when formed. If one could attract nine-colored Pill Lightning, it meant the pill was in the Ninth Grade category, possessing the power of creation.

This level of Medicinal Pill could be called a Divine Pill.

Dark clouds billowed in the sky, and waves of vast thunder rumbled out: cyan Pill Lightning, red Pill Lightning, green Pill Lightning...

The colors of the Pill Lightning became increasingly brilliant, making people's blood boil.

On the plaza, countless burning gazes fell upon Hun Tiandi.

As countless eyes watched him, Hun Tiandi slowly stood up. The light of the Pill Lightning reflected on the young man's face, appearing calm and unruffled.

Boom...

With a movement of his sleeve, a burst of energy landed on the lid of the Dragon Cauldron, and astonishing fluctuations emanated from the Medicine Cauldron, emitting a humming sound.

A massive, deep-blue pillar of fire shot up into the firmament.

The extreme cold temperature caused a faint white frost to permeate the world, and astonishing fluctuations radiated from the pillar of fire.

"Such fluctuations..."

Old Man Shennong frowned and whispered, "An Eighth Grade Pill. He is actually an Eighth Grade Alchemist; he has hidden his skills so deeply!"

Gu Jiyu's expression was gloomy. This damned Hun Tiandi was capable of refining an Eighth Grade Pill.

Ruan Xing, on the other hand, looked curious. At the end of the pillar of fire, strange mist permeated and quickly condensed, forming the shape of a thundercloud.

The entire audience was watching, staring at the churning thunderclouds in the sky.
