889: Chapter 890 Heavenly Demon Nirvana Flower Core

At this moment, he felt that his Alchemy Realm was no longer vaguely between the Eighth and Ninth Orders, but had solidly and rock-steadily stepped into the hall of a Ninth Order Pill Saint!

Looking across the entire Azure Cloud World, the Eastern Domain, Demon Domain, Devil Domain... those who could reach this Realm were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns! He, Yao Delong, already stood at one of the absolute summits of the Alchemic Dao!

'Ninth Order... so what?' Yao Delong opened his eyes, a sharp light contained within them. There was no longer a hint of nervousness, only the absolute confidence of being in control of everything! The Perfection of "Herbal Path Comprehension" gave him the foundation sufficient to master a Ninth Order Pill Formula!

He once again immersed himself in the details of the Pill Formula.

As expected, in the "Nine Aperture Nourishing Soul and Replenishing Spirit Divine Pill" optimized by the System, besides the core Soul repair and Origin nourishment effects being pushed to the extreme, it specifically integrated Law dao rhymes for strengthening demon Souls and repairing Origin cracks! Four of the original nine main medicinal ingredients were replaced, making the medicinal combinations more compatible with the Yao Race Physique—domineering yet nourishing:

crimson sun soul fruit -> Sky Demon Nirvana Flower (Ninth Order!): Contains the pure Origin aura of a Sky Demon's essence Soul, acting as the core medicinal primer for the demon Soul's Nirvana Rebirth!

nine yin soul condensing grass -> Taiyin Moon Soul Dew (Eighth Order Peak): Extremely Yin and pure moonlight Soul Power, nourishing and stabilizing the demon Soul.

star tear crystal -> Star River Soul Marrow Sand (Eighth Order Peak): Contains fragments of stellar will, strengthening the demon Soul.

Styx Nether Epiphyllum -> Other Shore Soul-Fixing Branch (Eighth Order Peak): Stabilizes the boundary between life and death, fixing the damaged demon Soul to prevent it from dissipating.

Core auxiliary medicine requirement: One drop of Yao Race essence blood! This is the key to activating the medicinal power and precisely repairing Demon Emperor Xue Wuya's Bloodline and demon Soul!

By the time he finished sorting it out, it was already the next morning.

Yao Delong pushed open the door and walked out. Outside, Shushu, who had stood like a statue all night, instantly turned to look. She was still in her white clothes, but her pale golden eyes were bloodshot; clearly, her mind had not relaxed for a moment throughout the night. Seeing Yao Delong's calm and confident gaze, her tense heartstrings finally loosened slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Long!" Shushu's voice carried a hint of imperceptible hoarseness.

Yao Delong didn't say much either, directly handing over a prepared Jade Slip: "Fellow Daoist Shushu, this is the list of spiritual materials required for the refinement."

Shushu impatiently took the Jade Slip and extended her Divine Thought into it.

With just one glance!

This mid-tier Demon Emperor's delicate body shook violently!

An uncontrollable look of shock and horror instantly spread across her exquisite face!

"Taiyin Moon Soul Dew... earth vein dragon marrow... ten thousand year blood jade marrow... Earth Core Fire Lotus Seed... Yellow Springs Other Shore Flower... nine nether earth core milk... Star River Soul Marrow Sand... Other Shore Soul-Fixing Branch..." With every name she read, Shushu's heart pounded! Every single one of these was a peerless treasure medicine at the Eighth Order Peak! Although the Qingqiu treasury had deep foundations, gathering so many top-grade items would still be a heavy blow!

And when her Divine Thought landed on the last two main medicinal ingredients—

"Sky Demon Nirvana Flower... one stalk!"

"One drop of the Fox King's closest kin's essence blood!"

"Sky... Sky Demon Nirvana Flower? Ninth Order?! Closest kin's essence blood?!" Shushu cried out in shock, suddenly looking up at Yao Delong. Her pale golden pupils contracted violently due to extreme shock, and her voice carried a tremor she hadn't even noticed herself: "Long... Fellow Daoist Long... You... you are... going to refine... a Ninth Order Medicinal Pill?!!"

A Ninth Order Divine Pill!

These words were like a thunderbolt of ten thousand tons, striking hard at Xue Shushu's heart!

She had thought Yao Delong might have secret methods or unique formulas, but she never imagined he would actually refine a Ninth Order pill, which belonged to the legendary "Emperor Pill" category! This had already exceeded the limits of her understanding! How could a Cultivator in the Demon King Realm trigger the vast power of Law required to refine a Ninth Order Divine Pill? How could he withstand the terrifying Pill Tribulation that was enough to kill a Demon Emperor?!

"Precisely." Yao Delong's expression was calm, as if he were speaking of a trivial matter. The powerful confidence in his eyes caused Shushu's racing heart to inexplicably settle a bit. "This pill is named the 'Nine Aperture Nourishing Soul and Replenishing Spirit Divine Pill.' It was created specifically to repair severe damage to a demon Soul's Origin. Its grade is indeed Ninth Order Low Grade."

He paused and looked at Shushu: "As for the essence blood, it requires a drop of blood from a close relative with the same Bloodline Origin and similar cultivation to the Fox King. Your brother's children are still young and their cultivation is insufficient; the Origin mark contained in their essence blood might be inadequate. Fellow Daoist Shushu's cultivation is profound and your Bloodline is pure; your essence blood is the most suitable."

Shushu did not hesitate for a moment. Her eyes instantly became incredibly firm, even carrying a sort of sacrificial determination: "Take mine! As long as it can save Big Brother, let alone a drop of essence blood, even if you wanted half of my cultivation, I, Shushu, would not even blink!" She raised her jade hand, and Demonic Power condensed at her fingertips, sharp as a knife, as she prepared to slash her own chest!

"Wait!" Yao Delong quickly stopped her. "Fellow Daoist Shushu, just a single drop of heart essence blood from your fingertip is enough; there's no need for that! Your current state is important, as I still need you to gather all the medicinal ingredients for me."

She gave Yao Delong a deep look, her eyes filled with unprecedented respect, trust, and even a hint of reverence! An existence capable of refining a Ninth Order Divine Pill... this had already exceeded the scope of a "Demon King"! This "Long De" Fellow Daoist's background was billions of times more terrifying than she had imagined!

"Most of these main medicines can likely be gathered from my Qingqiu treasury. As for the Sky Demon Nirvana Flower..." Shushu grit her teeth. "Deep within our clan's treasury, there remains half a Nirvana Flower Core left by an ancestor. Though not complete, its medicinal Origin should be sufficient! I will go and retrieve it immediately!" Before her voice had even faded, her figure had already turned into an afterimage, instantly vanishing from the spot, leaving only slight ripples in space that highlighted her inner urgency!

Looking in the direction where Shushu had disappeared, Yao Delong took a deep breath, turned back into the quiet room, and sat down cross-legged once more.

He did not immediately regulate his breathing but quietly felt the near-miraculous perception of all things brought by the Perfection of "Herbal Path Comprehension." Every flow of Spiritual Qi in the air, the warm earth vein energy coming from the spiritual jade beneath him, and even the faint sounds of plants growing far outside the quiet room... all were clearly reflected in the lake of his heart.

'Ninth Order Pill Tribulation...' A trace of gravity flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately replaced by a powerful Battle Intent.

'Come! Let me see just what kind of might this Ninth Order Divine Pill possesses!'

When Xue Shushu's figure, carrying a wisp of cold fragrance, burst into the quiet room, Yao Delong had just completely settled the surging Perfected Concept within his body. Her temples were slightly damp, clearly from her hurried efforts, but the figure following closely behind caused Yao Delong's pupils to contract—it was none other than that old Demon Emperor with an aura as deep as the sea whom he had met before in the Heavenly Fox Clan treasury, Mo Jue!

The old man stepped into the quiet room without a hint of imperial arrogance. He gave a deep bow toward the cross-legged Yao Delong, his movement so solemn that it caused the air in the entire room to freeze. His voice carried a trace of imperceptible trembling and fatigue, yet every word weighed a thousand tons: "Little friend! I, Mo Jue, on behalf of my son Wuya, thank you for your previous kindness in refining the great void spirit nurturing pill!"
