Chapter 994: Chapter 988: Grade 4 Pills
At this moment, within the clan’s Ancestral Space, all the clan members were wild with joy.
Under Li Yaowen’s Spiritual power, they were collectively watching Li Yaoqing’s breakthrough to the True Void Refinement realm from afar!
In the projection, beneath the rolling thunder, a giant tree hung upside down, even more spectacular than the old tree’s true form.
In the land where she underwent her tribulation, nature was reviving.
Surging thunderbolts crashed down, yet Li Yaoqing remained completely unharmed.
While others had to forge their Void Refinement Spaces, Li Yaoqing only needed to completely comprehend the laws of “Wood” through the Divine Art.
As the heavenly lightning fell, it gradually perfected Li Yaoqing’s Void Refinement Space.
Li Yaoqing’s body emitted a dazzling radiance, overflowing with a vigorous vitality rarely seen in the world.
After breaking through to the next layer of the Divine Art, her physique was undergoing an astonishing transformation.
Li Dalong’s eyes burst with sharp light as he said joyfully,
“Yaoqing’s Divine Art achieved perfection upon completion.
This is the sixth layer of the Divine Art; her Void Refinement Space has reached the pinnacle.
How many people in this world can compare to her medical skills, medicine refinement, and pill concoction arts?”
Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.
When Li Yaoqing was at the fifth layer, the clan had already benefited immensely.
The pill recipes within the Divine Art originated from ancient times.
The pills she concocted allowed the clan members’ aptitudes to continuously evolve, enabling their originally average aptitude and comprehension to catch up little by little with the world’s monstrous geniuses.
More importantly, it boosted their cultivation bases; the pills concocted by Li Yaoqing increased their cultivation speed by several times over.
For major factions, powerful apothecaries and alchemists were incredibly important.
It was rumored that the Min Clan had a Body Integration Alchemist, which allowed the Min Clan to prosper without decline.
However, the higher the grade of the pill, the lower the success rate of the concoction.
Ordinary major factions usually had to be extremely cautious when refining pills.
Yaoqing’s success rate—thanks to the special physique bestowed by the Divine Art, which made her methods for refining and tempering spiritual plants terrifyingly proficient—was extremely high.
She would only waste materials when researching new types of pills.
For years, the clan had stockpiled a massive amount of spiritual materials; these were all high-grade materials left over from years of warfare.
The clan had held back the entire time, refraining from sending those materials to the high-level alchemists in the Imperial Capital for refinement.
With Li Yaoqing breaking through to the sixth layer, her medicine and pill refinement arts would also breakthrough.
The pills concocted from these materials would usher in a massive leap in power for the clan!
[Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, has broken through to the Void Refinement realm. Her Divine Art has broken through to the sixth layer.]
[Your descendant, Li Yaoqing’s internal Spiritual Root, has grown a sixth leaf. Her aptitude has broken through to the “Heavenly Wood” Spiritual Root.
Cultivation speed is increased by 100%, and her comprehension of the power of heaven and earth’s nature and Wood-attribute laws is increased by 100%.]
[Your descendant, Li Yaoqing, has obtained the Divine Art Void Refinement Spiritual Technique: “One Leaf, One Domain.” Transforms a leaf into a Void Refinement Space.
When a leaf is launched and lands on an enemy, it inflicts the Spiritual damage of an entire Void Refinement Space upon them.
Within a ten-thousand-meter radius, wherever a fallen leaf is located, she can instantly swap positions with it.]
[Obtained Heaven-Bestowed Void Refinement Spiritual Technique: “Venerable of Nature.”
Wherever she is, the growth speed of spiritual plants increases by 100%.
Every year, she can enlighten a spiritual plant to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.
Every ten years, she can enlighten a spiritual plant to the Golden Core realm.
Every hundred years, she can help a spiritual plant achieve human form (Nascent Soul realm).
Every thousand years, she can enlighten a spiritual plant to become a Plant Emperor.]
[Obtained Void Refinement Space: “Domain of Endless Life.” A place where nature Spiritual power converges. As long as nature is not extinguished, the Spiritual power is infinite.]
Merely by breaking through to the Void Refinement realm, Li Yaoqing’s strength was already no weaker than that of Zhao Jingmiao, who managed the spiritual plants for the Zhao Clan back in the day.
That was an incredibly powerful existence capable of feeding millions of the Zhao Clan single-handedly.
It was also because of Zhao Jingmiao that the Immortal Domain had so many powerful spiritual plants.
Furthermore, possessing two extremely powerful Dharma Treasures, Li Wei estimated that Li Yaoqing could completely crush the Martial Emperor!
However, the greatest benefit Li Yaoqing’s breakthrough brought to the clan was still the pills.
“What pill recipes and medicine formulas have our clan acquired over these past few centuries?”
Li Wei’s eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.
Yaoqing’s medicine and pill concoction arts could make the clan’s strength soar in a short period of time!
Li Yaotie said joyfully,
“Old Ancestor, over the years, our family has taken down the Zhao Clan, the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems, and Grand Tower.
Adding to that, the merchant lineage has bought back sixteen Grade 4 pill recipes!”
“And the materials are all hidden within the Spirit Gathering Cauldron.” Li Xinnian could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.
“Through our quotas, the various major Grotto-Heavens have also been searching for materials.
The efforts of hundreds of years were all just to wait for the Distant Ancestor to become a Grade 4 Apothecary and Alchemist.”
One pill recipe after another echoed in their ears.
[Six-Revolution Heavenly Rainbow Spirit-Gathering Pill: Can only be consumed at the Divinity Transformation realm.
Transforms the body into a rainbow glow, channeling the Spiritual power of heaven and earth to gather within the body, forming a world of its own.
By refining the Spiritual power of heaven and earth gathered by the rainbow glow, one can obtain a five-hundred-year cultivation base.
After refinement, the pill’s impurities must be expelled to avoid damaging one’s foundation…]
[Pill Material Quotas x8]
All medicines contain a hint of poison, but this was no big deal.
Li Yaoqing was also an apothecary; with her around, expelling pill impurities couldn’t be easier.
[Heaven-Attracting Golden-Crossing Pill: Consuming it attracts the gathering of heaven and earth’s Metal-attribute laws.
Refining it allows one to glimpse the Metal-attribute laws, enhancing comprehension, and even leading to an epiphany…]
[Holy Spirit Pill: Uses one’s bloodline to summon the Spiritual power of heaven and earth.
Can grant eight hundred years of cultivation base. A person can only consume one in their lifetime…]
[Bloodline Spirit Body Elixir: Purifies the physique, Spirit Soul, and the strength of the Void Refinement Space. Multiplies one’s Spiritual power by several times…]
“We’re rich. We’re rich.”
The members of the Li Clan had tears welling up in their eyes.
How was the lightning tribulation above Yaoqing’s head merely the Heavenly Dao’s lightning punishment? Those were naked pills!
For hundreds of years, the clan had been unwilling to use a single spiritual medicine above Grade 4.
What was it all for? It was precisely to wait for Yaoqing’s breakthrough so they could accumulate a thick foundation and explode with power.
Otherwise, if the clan members had willy-nilly eaten the natural treasures accumulated over the years, their cultivation bases would be somewhat higher. But no one dared to eat them.
Everyone had worked hard for hundreds of years, searching the whole world for spiritual medicines, and had finally waited until Yaoqing’s breakthrough.
The bitter days had come to an end!
“The Golden Chapter of Enlightenment, truly worthy of its name.”
Li Wei’s hands were trembling.
This was also thanks to that “great benefactor” who was blasted to death by the shockwaves of Zhen Wu’s Spiritual power at the Mountain of Esoteric Stratagems.
Without him, the clan probably would have had to wait many more years for Yaoqing’s breakthrough.
Amidst the crowd’s rejoicing, the lightning tribulation around Li Yaoqing in the cloudy sky of the Ancestral Space dispersed.
Li Yaoqing happily went to beat up her Third Brother.
With one punch, the Third Brother’s eyes went blank, causing the smile on Li Yaoqing’s face to gradually vanish.
She realized that the Third Brother had entered the Ancestral Space to report the good news.
She immediately closed her eyes, her Divine Soul entering the Ancestral Space to chase him down.
But the moment she entered the Ancestral Space, before Li Yaoqing had time to act or share the good news, pairs of green-glowing eyes locked onto her.
This made Li Yaoqing immediately put on a serious face.
Her feet turned inward in a pigeon-toed stance, and she said weakly, “I… I know. I will refine medicine and concoct pills for you.”
Li Wei nodded in gratification.
Such a sensible child.
[Year 812]
Within Highsun City, Li Xinnian returned from his daily trip to Silver Wolf Lake.
A faint smile graced his face, as if he hadn’t just caught and eaten two people at Silver Wolf Lake today.
Upon returning to Highsun City, he also went to meet Ba Siyu.
With the numerous battles in Deston Prefecture, the clan’s two hundred thousand-strong army was plundering the Wu tribe everywhere from within the Golden Toad Divine Palace.
There would always be some bigwigs in Deston Prefecture asking the clan for help.
“The people of the Yun Clan have become increasingly hard to catch these past two years; they’ve grown vigilant.
That fellow Bi Shihu is also hiding from our Li Clan, refusing to engage. And then there’s Ba Siyu…” The corners of Li Xinnian’s mouth curled up slightly.
“This profit-seeking mighty figure has been asking our Li Clan for help less and less over the past two years. How interesting.”
Before long, he returned to the Li Clan’s Chamber of Commerce.
Inside the Chamber of Commerce, people were still bustling back and forth.
In such a war-torn land, the demand for elixirs, spiritual artifacts, and talismans was immense.
Every year, a massive amount of spirit stones fell into the clan’s pockets, which were then used by the Chamber of Commerce to purchase large quantities of world-rare natural treasures to send back home.
Li Xinnian entered a secret room in the Chamber of Commerce, sat cross-legged, and looked inward.
Within his Soul Sea, his Blood Spirit Dharma Body looked like a God of War that had crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Above the head of the Blood Spirit Dharma Body, a blood sphere resembling a red sun was rotating; that was the Spiritual power he had obtained from eating Yun Clan members over the past few years.
A pill fell into his hand, brimming with spiritual energy.
The moment it appeared, its fragrance spread throughout the entire secret room.
“A Grade 4 pill, the Void-Breaking Pill. After consuming it, one can deduce the Void Refinement Space and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.
One pill grants ten years of seated comprehension.
Ancestor Yaoqing concocted a furnace of three Void-Breaking Pills these past two years, and one of them has fallen into my hands.”
“Coupled with the vitality and Spiritual power hidden within my body obtained through demonic arts over the years, ten years of seated comprehension.”
“Everyone in Deston Prefecture, let me have a good time playing with you all.”
…
Inside the Golden Toad Divine Palace.
Li Yunlin had come from Sunfall City and sat cross-legged opposite Li Yunbing.
In his hand, the Skyveil Hall rotated in the shape of a cube, while Old Cat hopped on Li Yunlin’s shoulder.
The ground naturally formed an Eight Trigrams array, causing the pseudo-Void Refinement Spiritual power on Li Yunbing’s body to surge majestically.
Behind Li Yunbing emerged his Lightning Eagle Dharma Body.
This Dharma Body could only be considered decent even within the Divinity Transformation realm.
Li Yunbing had seized the body of Jiang Chenghuan and inherited his Spiritual arts.
Jiang Chenghuan’s own strength was inferior to Li Yunbing’s to begin with. Coupled with the demonic obsessions in Li Yunbing’s heart over the years, his cultivation had constantly lagged behind.
He could be said to be the weakest Void Refinement expert in the world.
“Your Lightning Eagle employs the dual spiritual methods of Lightning and Metal, so your Void Refinement Space also requires the laws of these two aspects.
My Skyveil Hall will extract these two types of spiritual items to assist in your cultivation.”
Li Yunlin handed Li Yunbing the “Void-Breaking Pill” sent by the clan.
“The Metal and Lightning aspects are extremely unyielding and fierce.
When you consume the Void-Breaking Pill to comprehend, you might as well mimic the posture of an eagle striking the vast sky to re-forge your Void Refinement Space.
With Old Cat and me helping you, it is not impossible for you to forge a true Void Refinement realm.”
Within the clan, the Immortal Martial Grotto-Heaven was considered highly adept at cultivation, and Li Zhiheng cultivated even more diligently.
But when it came to true comprehension of cultivation, it had to be Li Yunlin.
Old Cat, the artifact spirit of the Skyveil Hall, possessed vast experience, and the Spiritual art knowledge inherited from Ming Daozi was like a vast ocean.
Li Yunlin was truly worthy of the position of Supreme Elder of the Skyveil Sect; he was a master of cultivation rarely seen in the world.
“Yes, Eldest Brother.”
Li Yunbing had already restored his appearance to what it was back then.
Although he still looked middle-aged, his expression strongly resembled the obedient, “pure-hearted child” he was in front of his Eldest Brother back in Green Valley Village. Yet, his gaze lacked no firmness.
“I wouldn’t dare disappoint the painstaking efforts of Second Aunt and Eldest Brother. Ten years of seated comprehension; I will treat it as a do-or-die situation.”
“Focus on your comprehension with peace of mind. Your Eldest Brother is here.”
Li Yunlin patted his second brother’s head just like when they were young.
…
Clad in armor transformed from a “Turtle Shell,” Li Tianqi headed toward the Shadowfell Prefecture.
Having caused mischief year-round with his Eldest Brother and Tianming, sneaking away from the battlefield for a trip to the chaotic Shadowfell Prefecture was no difficult task.
Before long.
Li Tianqi saw thousands of people kneeling in worship before a statue of Tianyue gazing west into the cloudy sky.
In front of Tianyue’s statue, his Eldest Brother sat cross-legged.
The Profound Seals Talisman had reached sixteen, floating closely behind his Eldest Brother.
Upon arriving here, Li Tianqi lowered his eyes. He still hadn’t dared to tell Tianming what had happened to Tianyue.
In the past, their generation used to run all over Azure Cloud, but in the end, only a lonely few remained.
Now that Tianyue was gone, Li Tianqi was truly afraid that Tianming would go mad again.
But looking at his Eldest Brother’s appearance, Li Tianqi knew that the one who grieved the most was still his Eldest Brother.
None of them had been disciplined much by the elders; they were practically all raised by their Eldest Brother and Old Pig.
Mischief aside, Li Tianqi also knew that the eldest brother was like a father.
As Li Tianqi slowly approached his Eldest Brother, Li Tianyi opened his eyes.
The two brothers, who used to laugh and curse whenever they were together and were full of petty schemes, exchanged a glance in silence.
A clear breeze blew by, lifting the long hair of the two brothers.
Li Tianqi could see the exhaustion in his Eldest Brother’s smile.
“Tianqi, how are the Yun Clan and Bi Shihu’s three armies faring over there in Deston Prefecture?”
“Rest assured, Eldest Brother. With Second Uncle and Xinnian dealing with them, not a single one will escape.”
Li Tianqi let out a long breath. With a flash from his spatial ring, the “Void-Breaking Pill” and the “Void-Soul Exchanging Dao Technique” prepared by their grandfather appeared in his hand.
He offered them to Li Tianyi. “Eldest Brother, you’ve stayed here for twelve years, it’s about time…”
Li Tianyi frowned. If it had been the past, he definitely would have shaken Tianqi clean of all his belongings and pocketed everything himself.
He shook his head at Tianqi.
“With the seniors helping me, I don’t need them. I will wait here. Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years—I can wait.
Those bastards will show their heads sooner or later, and I will use their blood and heads as a sacrifice to Tianyue.
What you need to do now is return to Deston Prefecture and collect the heads of the Yun Clan and Bi Shihu.”
“Yes, Eldest Brother.”
Li Tianqi took a deep breath, not daring to argue. He took back the two items.
He didn’t dare say another word; even the seniors within the sixteen Profound Seals Talisman didn’t dare to speak.
After staying here with his Eldest Brother for seven days, Li Tianqi let out a long sigh and headed toward Deston Prefecture, preparing to break through.
Looking back once more.
He only heard the sound of the Zither.
