119: Ninth-grade elixir completed, Wulong Village

Subsequently, an endless tribulation of lightning descended all at once!

At that instant, the entire Danling State seemed to be facing the end of the world.

Facing the endless lightning, the Alchemists in mid-air also went mad!

They burned everything they had, letting out their last roar in this life! Then they charged straight into the Nine Heavens, just to block a trace of the Lightning Tribulation for the Nine-Rank Pill.

One group of people died, and another group continued to rush out, one after another, utterly fearless!

Under the selfless and desperate resistance of the countless Cultivators of Danling State, the Lightning Tribulation lasted for a full eighty-one days before finally dissipating.

The Nine-Rank Pill quietly floated within the Pill Formation, completely unharmed.

The Nine-Rank Pill was ultimately preserved!

The cost was a direct forty percent reduction in the number of Alchemists across the entire Danling State! This also included the demise of twenty-three Grandmaster of Alchemy.

A huge gap appeared directly in the Alchemy techniques of the entire Danling State!

Most of the surviving Alchemists were those who were not qualified to resist the Lightning Tribulation.

After that incident, the Alchemy techniques of Danling State slowly recovered over a period of thirty thousand years.

Although the consequences of refining that Nine-Rank Pill were undeniably tragic, it brought hope to the Alchemists of the entire Danling State! It brought a glimmer of dawn!

The Nine-Rank Pill can be refined!

The answer is there!

The path, however, must be continued by future generations!!

As long as they don't give up, there will eventually be a supreme Alchemy expert who, by himself, will refine that Nine-Rank Pill!

Although that person has not yet appeared, everyone in the Danling State is waiting for his appearance, and has even prepared a title for him.

He is called "Pill Ancestor"!

Millions of years have passed, and at this moment, that Nine-Rank Pill still quietly floats within that Pill Formation.

It has become the spiritual symbol for all Alchemists in the entire Danling State.

Countless Alchemists firmly believe that one day, our Danling State can successfully refine a second Nine-Rank Pill!

Of course, many people also coveted that pill; after all, it was a Nine-Rank Pill, and many had designs on it.

However, that Pill Formation was jointly set up by twenty-three Grandmaster of Alchemy during their lifetime.

Furthermore, future generations have added countless array Restrictions to it, making it extremely difficult to break through the Formation!

The most important point is that this is the spiritual symbol of the entire Danling State; if anyone dares to covet it, they will face the endless wrath of the entire Danling State!

Therefore, the difficulty of obtaining this pill is basically no less than refining another one from scratch.

This is the story of the Nine-Rank Pill that Lu Hao heard from Dan Ding.

Lu Hao couldn't help but sigh.

“Alas......”

He thought it wouldn't be easy, but he never expected it to be this difficult!

It took the combined strength of the entire state to barely refine one Nine-Rank Pill; how easy could it be for him to refine it alone?

System, this task of yours is too difficult......

But no matter what, Lu Hao was still confident; he had the System, and with so many magical treasures, he would surely be able to refine it!

He was prepared for a long struggle in the path of Alchemy.

No matter what, he must obtain this Primordial Dao Body.

This is the key Physique for his cultivation improvement!

Lu Hao came back to his senses and cupped his fists towards Dan Ding again:

“Thank you, Old Mister Dan, I have a general understanding.”

Dan Ding smiled and said:

“Since that's the case, we'll take our leave first, Little friend Lu, I hope to see you at the Pill Convention.”

Pill Convention?

Lu Hao felt suspicious, but he had already troubled others enough, so he decided to inquire about it himself.

“Alright, Lu thanks you here.”

“Xiaoya, let's go!”

“Oh, okay, Grandpa is here.”

A girl's voice came from afar.

Immediately after, Dan Xiaoya's figure appeared before Lu Hao.

She was still holding Lu Xiaolong in her arms, and both of them were beaming with smiles.

Evidently, the two had just had a very enjoyable time playing.

“Little brother, Big Sister is leaving now; I'll come find you to play again when there's a chance.”

Lu Xiaolong asked:

“Okay, where can I find Big Sister later?”

“Hmm...... I'll be participating in the Pill Convention of this Danling State later, you can come find me there.”

“Okay, I'll definitely tell Daddy to go!”

“Then Big Sister will wait for you, goodbye little brother!”

“Goodbye Big Sister!”

The two bid farewell reluctantly, looking as if they had a deep bond.

Watching Lu Xiaolong, Lu Hao was silent......

This guy is really overly friendly; he can make friends with any girl he meets on the road.

It was like that with Bu Siying before, and it's like that with Dan Xiaoya now.

Is he really that popular with girls?

Lu Hao looked at Lu Xiaolong, and indeed, he was very cute.

Lu Hao himself couldn't help but hug him and pat him whenever he had nothing to do.

Seeing that the two had walked far away, Lu Hao said:

“Xiaolong, Stubborn Ox, let's go find a place to stay.”

The sky gradually darkened, and Lu Hao and the other two arrived at a village.

Lu Hao stood at the village entrance, looking at a small sign nearby.

“Wulong Village”

He sensed it slightly; this was a village almost isolated from the world, most of the people were Mortals, and the person with the highest cultivation only had the cultivation of the eighth layer of Qi Refinement.

He saw that every household in the village stored many wild beasts and other prey, indicating that the villagers here mainly lived by hunting.

It was already dinner time, and the busy sounds of families came from every house in the village.

Then, wisps of cooking smoke slowly drifted into the air, then dissipated.

A light drizzle suddenly began to fall, accompanied by cool breezes.

Adding a touch of hazy beauty to the village.

This scene couldn't help but evoke Lu Hao's memories.

Wasn't the countryside of his original world just like this?

This was a feeling he had never experienced in the Qingxuan Sect.

Within the Sect, everyone was desperately cultivating, pursuing the Great Dao, pursuing endless power!

But that was just a choice in life; in fact, if Lu Hao hadn't existed, most Cultivators in the Qingxuan Sect, after realizing that cultivation was hopeless.

Would eventually leave the Sect and return to live a peaceful life with their families.

The village before him was living such a life.

Lu Hao felt a little emotional; although their lives were only a mere hundred years or so.

Were their lives really worse than those Cultivators?

Stepping onto the path of immortal cultivation, fighting against heaven, fighting against earth, fighting against people!

How many people can maintain their original heart in this process?

Some Cultivators, after tens of thousands of years of cultivation, have probably long forgotten their original selves.

Lu Hao had a slight realization: cultivation, cultivation, is also cultivating the mind.
