233: Nine-Turn Profound Yang Pill

Outside the Treasure Pavilion, the crowd was thick.

Disciples from various peaks shuttled back and forth, either exchanging contribution points or purchasing necessary resources, creating a bustling scene.

When Yao Delong's iconic, blazing stream of light descended from the sky and landed in front of the Treasure Pavilion's magnificent obsidian gate, the originally noisy crowd instantly quieted down a bit.

Countless gazes, filled with awe, curiosity, admiration, and even a hint of jealousy, were fixed upon him.

"It's Senior Brother Yao!"

"Lord Champion!"

"Hiss… how long has it been? It feels like his aura is even more terrifying than during the Grand Competition!"

"I heard he was still at Foundation Establishment Perfection just a few months ago? This cultivation speed… is simply inhuman!"

"A Trash from the Outer Sect counterattacking to become the Champion! Senior Brother Yao is my role model!"

Whispers surged like a tide, especially among the Outer Sect Disciples, where Yao Delong's name had long been deified, becoming a symbol of Heaven-Defying destiny alteration in the hearts of many.

Yao Delong smiled wryly in his heart; fame brings trouble, and this feeling of being the center of attention was sometimes a burden.

He kept his gaze straight, walked directly through the crowd that parted automatically, and stepped into the deep portal of the Treasure Pavilion.

The Deacon Elder in charge of the Medicinal Pill section was an elderly man with white hair and beard, looking full of vigor, named Sun Qian.

Seeing Yao Delong walking over from afar, a flash of light flickered in his turbid old eyes. He hurriedly put down the Jade Slip in his hand, stepped forward to meet him, and his face was full of smiles.

"Junior Brother Yao! What a rare guest! Congratulations on becoming the Champion, and your cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds to Golden Core Perfection. You are just days away from Nascent Soul!"

Sun Qian's tone was warm, but his heart was filled with emotion.

He remembered clearly that just a few months ago, this young man before him was only a small Cultivator at Foundation Establishment Perfection, coming to buy a gold condensation pill to use for Core Formation. Although he had displayed extraordinary talent in Alchemy back then, who could have imagined that in such a short time, he would have grown to such a level?

That thick and refined aura, with an faintly emerging sharp intent, made even him, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, feel a hint of trepidation.

"Elder Sun is too kind." Yao Delong nodded slightly and went straight to the point: "I came today because I am looking for some Pill Formulas."

"Oh? Pill Formulas?" Sun Qian's eyes lit up; it seemed this Champion Junior Brother's attainments in Alchemy were not low. "I wonder what kind of Pill Formulas Junior Brother needs? Are they to be refined for others, or for your own use? I will certainly do my best to recommend some."

Yao Delong's gaze swept across the dazzling crystal counters, which displayed various finished Medicinal Pills, but he had little interest in them.

He was an Alchemist himself, so why let others earn this money? Although he was now wealthy and did not lack these few Spirit Stones.

"I need two types of Pill Formulas." Yao Delong's voice was calm and steady. "First, a Pill Formula that can significantly increase the combat power of a Nascent Soul Cultivator in a short time, requiring strong explosive power and minimal side effects. Second, a Pill Formula that can quickly recover from severe injuries and large expenditures of Origin Qi, the higher the grade, the better."

Upon hearing this, Sun Qian's expression immediately became serious.

These two types of Pill Formulas were nothing less than trump cards for saving one's life and turning the tide at critical moments! Especially the Pill Formulas for increasing combat power, which were often accompanied by huge side effects; those with minor side effects were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

"Junior Brother Yao, please wait a moment." Sun Qian turned around and quickly tapped on the huge jade wall behind him to retrieve information.

A moment later, he pointed to several pieces of information that appeared on the light screen and said: "There are several fifth-grade High Grade Pill Formulas that meet Junior Brother's requirements."

"This is the 'Blood Burning Breakthrough Pill'. After taking it, one burns essence blood, allowing an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator to possess combat power close to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage for a short time, but after the medicinal effect wears off, one will suffer severe damage to Origin Qi, the dao foundation will be damaged, and one will need to rest for several months."

"This is the 'Profound Origin Qi Burst Powder'. It can instantly stimulate potential, causing Origin Qi to surge three times, but the medicinal power is violent and easily damages the Meridians. After the effect wears off, one will fall into deep weakness, with less than one-tenth of one's combat power remaining."

"This is the 'Jade Marrow Heaven Returning Pill', a holy item for healing. As long as the Divine Soul is not destroyed or the dao foundation is completely ruined, even the most severe Physical Body injuries can be quickly recovered. It also has a certain effect on the recovery of Origin Qi, but the difficulty of refining is extremely high, and the required medicinal materials are also extremely rare."

Yao Delong's gaze swept over them quickly, and his brows furrowed slightly. Among these fifth-grade Pill Formulas, the recovery-type 'Jade Marrow Heaven Returning Pill' was acceptable, but the two that increased combat power had side effects that were too large!

Burning blood damages the dao foundation, and the burst powder damages the Meridians; these were not what he wanted. He certainly did not want to become a useless person after risking his life in the Burial God Abyss.

"Elder Sun, is there a Pill Formula to increase combat power with smaller side effects?" Yao Delong asked in a deep voice.

Sun Qian stroked his beard, a troubled look appearing on his face: "Junior Brother Yao, this… among the fifth-grade Pill Formulas, there are almost none that increase combat power with minor side effects. If you require minor side effects, it must be at least a sixth-grade Pill Formula!"

"Sixth-grade?" Some Disciples nearby who were pricking up their ears to eavesdrop gasped.

Sixth-grade Medicinal Pills were truly High Grade Medicinal Pills! The difficulty of refining them was extremely high. In the entire Yin Yang Sect, the Alchemist Great Masters who could refine sixth-grade Medicinal Pills could be counted on one's fingers, and the success rate was pitifully low.

Sun Qian looked at Yao Delong and smiled bitterly: "The difficulty of refining sixth-grade Pill Formulas is immense; only an Alchemist Great Master can do it. Even among the Inner Sect Elders of Pill Cloud Peak, there are not many who can successfully refine sixth-grade Medicinal Pills. Moreover, the contribution points or Spirit Stones required for a sixth-grade Pill Formula are even more enormous…"

"No matter." Yao Delong's tone was calm but carried an unquestionable confidence. "Elder Sun, just bring me the sixth-grade Pill Formulas that meet the requirements."

Looking at Yao Delong's deep and calm eyes, Sun Qian was startled and said no more. This Champion Junior Brother often acted unexpectedly; perhaps he really had a grasp on it?

He did not dare to delay and immediately operated on the jade wall, retrieving several streams of information that emitted an even more profound aura.

"Junior Brother Yao, please take a look. These are the sixth-grade Pill Formulas currently in the Treasure Pavilion that have relatively minor side effects and can increase the combat power of a Nascent Soul Cultivator."

[Sixth-Grade Medium Grade · nine revolutions profound yang pill] Using nine types of supreme Yang medicinal treasures as the main ingredients, supplemented by Mysterious Yin Spirit Spring to harmonize Yin and Yang, it is refined through the Nine Revolutions secret technique. After taking it, one can trigger a trace of pure Yang Law power, causing the Nascent Soul Cultivator's Origin Qi to surge, and comprehensively improving Physical Body strength, speed, and reaction. The increase in combat power depends on the user's dao foundation (about three to six times), lasting for one incense stick of time. After the medicinal effect wears off, the Meridians will bear a certain amount of pressure, but it will not cause permanent damage, and it can be recovered by resting for one or two days. Exchange requires: 10,000 contribution points, or equivalent Heaven And Earth Treasure / Spirit Stone (about 1000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones).

[Sixth-Grade High Grade · Taiyi Qingming Pill] Contains a trace of Taiyi Green Wood vitality and Netherworld cold soul power. After taking it, one can stimulate potential, communicate with Heaven and Earth in a short time, and draw in massive spiritual power to irrigate the body, with combat power surging (about five to eight times). At the same time, a layer of Qingming protective barrier will form around the body to resist some attacks. After the medicinal effect wears off, one will fall into a short period of weakness (about half a day), but there will be no damage to the dao foundation. Exchange requires: 15,000 contribution points, or equivalent Heaven And Earth Treasure / Spirit Stone (about 1500 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones).

"That's the one! The nine revolutions profound yang pill formula!" Yao Delong decided decisively. "Also, give me a sixth-grade healing and recovery Pill Formula; I want the one with the best effect!"

Sun Qian was shocked again; this Junior Brother had such a grand style! He did not dare to delay and recommended another [Sixth-Grade High Grade · endless life creation pill] formula, the effect of which was several times stronger than the previous fifth-grade Jade Marrow Heaven Returning Pill, almost able to put flesh on bones and bring the dead back to life, and it had a miraculous effect on the recovery of Origin Qi. The exchange price was also as high as 10,000 contribution points (about 1000 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones).

"Two Pill Formulas, plus all the main and auxiliary ingredients needed to refine ten 'nine revolutions profound yang pills' and ten 'endless life creation pills'!" Yao Delong waved his hand and directly reported the quantity.
