916: Chapter 917 Spirit-Activating and Source-Tracing Pill

"Medicine Spirit Dao Body?" Liu Ruyan was slightly startled. She had a vague feeling about this Dao Body since her earliest memories, but it had never been so explicitly pointed out.

"Correct!" Xiao Jin's tone became serious.

"It's just that your Dao Body is still in a 'dormant' state and has not yet truly awakened!

It's like a massive Treasure Trove; it has the gates, but you haven't obtained the key to open them."

He waved his chubby little hand, and a golden light sank into Liu Ruyan's Sea of Consciousness.

"Here, this Great One has an ancient miraculous formula—the [Spiritual Awakening Origin Pill]. Its grade isn't high, just at the Seventh Order level.

As long as you refine and consume it, it will become the first key to unlock your Dao Body! It will trigger the dormant Origin power of the Great Dao of Vegetation within your body!"

A Seventh Order Pill Formula!

As Liu Ruyan's Divine Thought touched that golden light, countless profound vegetation runes and pill seals flooded into her mind. They were complex and exquisite, far surpassing most of the Pill Formulas she currently mastered.

She was delighted. Since receiving guidance from Xiao Jin, her Alchemy cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds; she was indeed not far from becoming a Seventh Order Alchemist! If she could refine this pill and activate her Dao Body...

However, Xiao Jin's next words were like a bucket of ice water poured over her head:

"Don't get happy too early, girl! The hardest part of this pill isn't the formula itself, but the Pill Fire required to refine it!"

Xiao Jin's expression became somewhat mischievous. "It requires a divine fire that contains an extremely powerful, pure, and active Origin of the Law of Life!

Your [Purple Extreme Heavenly Fire]... tsk tsk, it's decent for fighting and burning people, and it's considered high-grade for Alchemy,

but to trigger that bit of 'spiritual connection' in the [Spiritual Awakening Origin Pill] that communicates with the Great Dao and awakens the Origin—hehe, it's far from enough! Its bit of vitality is better than nothing!"

The light in Liu Ruyan's eyes dimmed instantly. A divine fire containing the powerful Law of Life? This was even rarer and more elusive than finding an Eighth Order main ingredient!

"However..."

Xiao Jin changed his tone, a sly smile appearing on his chubby face as his pudgy finger pointed toward Luoxia Peak again. He chuckled, "You don't have it, but that kid does!

Back in the Pill Venerable Secret Realm, when you two were taking that flame totem trial, this Great One noticed it!

The divine fire he used to simulate the totem... tsk tsk, it's crimson-gold throughout, containing endless vitality!

That pure and majestic aura of the Law of Life is almost like the Origin fire of a newly born Great World!

Asking for his help will definitely yield twice the result with half the effort! It might even add some unexpected benefits to your pill!"

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes instantly lit up! That's right! Junior Brother Yao!

She had a deep relationship with Junior Brother Yao, and they had fought side by side in the Pill Venerable Secret Realm. With his help, this matter was highly feasible!

Thinking of Yao Delong's strange crimson-gold flame, and then thinking of that fellow's seemingly lazy but actually reliable nature,

hope surged in Liu Ruyan's heart, and the previous gloom was swept away. A moving smile unconsciously curled at the corners of her lips.

At this moment, Yao Delong, who had just raised his hand to crush the Pill Lightning and was bathing in the sunlight, felt a strange chill down his back and sneezed.

"Hmm? Who's thinking about me?"

He didn't know that his Great Sun Divine Fire, which contained the Law of Life, had already become the "saving grace" in the eyes of a certain older-sister-type alchemist.

Luoxia Peak, outside the Alchemy room.

Almost at the moment the Pill Tribulation was crushed by Yao Delong, a figure that seemed to blend into the shadows, with an aura that was nearly non-existent,

appeared silently on a rock not far from him. It was none other than the most mysterious and unpredictable Shadow Guard Commander under the Sect Head—Ying!

Deep within Ying's eyes, which were usually as calm as an ancient well, a rare flash of intense shock now flickered.

Witnessing Yao Delong nonchalantly raise his hand and crush the twelve-colored Pill Lightning Tribulation—which was enough to kill an ordinary Late Void Refining Stage expert

and which even he couldn't handle—into nothingness... this kind of impact was more direct and powerful than any rumors!

His memory instantly flashed back to several years ago, also near this Luoxia Peak. At that time, Yao Delong had just broken through to the Golden Core stage,

his aura still appeared unstable. Ying had been ordered to deliver the Sect's congratulatory gifts, and at that time, Yao Delong was just a junior Disciple with decent talent in his eyes.

In just a few short years... in the blink of an eye!

The Golden Core kid from back then had now grown to a height that even he, a veteran Void Refining Realm expert, found difficult to see through and even felt a faint sense of pressure from!

"Truly... the younger generation is to be feared!" Ying sighed silently in his heart.

Yao Delong had naturally sensed Ying's arrival long ago. He restrained the majestic aura that triggered the Laws,

returned to his normal state, and with a flash of his body, landed in front of Ying. With a smile, he cupped his hands and said, "Junior Martial Uncle Ying, thank you for making the trip personally."

Ying immediately composed himself and bowed solemnly to Yao Delong, keeping his posture extremely low.

"Daoist Yao is too polite. This subordinate has come to collect the pill by order of the Sect Head."

His attitude was incredibly respectful. This form of address as "Daoist Yao" and referring to himself as "subordinate" already placed Yao Delong's status below the Sect Head but above all the Peak Masters.

Strength was respected, and the power Yao Delong had displayed made him completely convinced.

Yao Delong didn't stand on ceremony either. He nodded, and with a wave of his hand, an extremely ordinary small green jade bottle without any decorative patterns appeared in his palm.

He handed the jade bottle to Ying.

Ying carefully extended both hands, as if holding a fragile and rare treasure, and took the small jade bottle with utmost solemnity.

It felt warm to the touch. He could clearly feel the vast Divine Soul energy and Great Dao spiritual rhythm contained within the pill inside the jade bottle!

Just a wisp of aura leaking through the bottle made his Primordial Spirit, which had been dormant for many years, feel a surge of throb and desire!

An Eighth Order Peak Divine Pill! The [nine aperture spirit nurturing pill]! Its value was absolutely no less than an ordinary creation dao artifact!

In the entire Yin Yang Sect, the only one who could refine this pill was likely the young Daoist Yao before him!

What this small jade bottle represented was the supreme glory of the Sect and also the Daoist Master's unfathomable strength in Alchemy!

"The Daoist Master's divine skill is truly admirable!"

Ying bowed deeply again, his tone filled with heartfelt respect.

"This pill will surely shock the Eastern Region and add supreme radiance to the Daoist Master's wedding! This subordinate will report back immediately. Farewell!"

After saying that, Ying's figure dissolved silently on the spot like ink dripping into water, as if he had never appeared.

After seeing Ying off, Yao Delong stood alone at the peak, watching the clouds roll by, but his thoughts were already racing.

The wedding tomorrow, the Saintess of the Moyang Sect, the marriage contract with the Heavenly Fox Clan of Qingqiu, Old Ancestor Long Yu's pill... things were coming one after another.

In the Luoxia Peak courtyard, as the pill fragrance dissipated, the courtyard gradually became lively.

Not long after Yao Delong returned to the courtyard, several streaks of light landed one after another from different directions, as if by appointment.

The first to arrive was Liu Rumei from Heavenly Sword Peak.

She was dressed in a fiery red martial outfit that outlined her explosive and charming curves. Her almond eyes were full of spring, and her steps carried a natural valiant spirit and flirtatious charm. Her voice arrived before she did:

"Oh! Our Great Alchemist Yao is finally willing to come back? That commotion just now startled the entire Sect!"

Her beautiful eyes scanned him, making no attempt to hide it. Seeing that he was safe and sound and that his aura was even stronger than before, a look of heartfelt joy flashed in her eyes.
