Chapter 134

"It's a Golden Cloud Pill!" Zhan Chen couldn't help but cry out. He leaped up and grabbed the pill tightly in his hand.

It struggled for a while in Zhan Liang's hand before gradually stopping. Zhan Chen then dared to open his palm and saw a golden pill lying in his hand. It was only the size of a soybean, but it was flashing with nine colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white.

"Master, this is the Nine Transformations Golden Pill!" Frightened Boy cried out excitedly. ,

"What is the Nine Transformations Golden Pill?" Zhan Chen hurriedly asked.

"The so-called Nine Transformations is a kind of definition of the quality of the pill. In the process of refining pills, ancient pill refinement masters discovered that some high quality pills would emit a unique pill halo. A First Transformation pill would emit a red halo, a Second Transformation pill would emit a red and orange halo, and so on."

"Master, the pill that you refined is emitting nine colors of light. That is the highest quality Nine Transformations Golden Pill!"

Zhan Chen hurriedly asked, "What's the difference between this Nine Transformations Golden Pill and ordinary pills?"

"Every additional color of halo will increase the medicinal efficacy by more than one level. The medicinal efficacy of the Nine Transformations Spiritual Pill is double that of ordinary pills! Therefore, the medicinal pill that Master has refined has already reached the level of Fourth Grade Middle Level! "

"Using materials that are used to refine Elementary Grade Four pills, I can refine a Intermediate Grade Four pill. This is incredible. Doesn't that mean that in the future, I can use materials that are one level lower to refine pills that are one level higher?"

"That's right! The Nirvana Divine Flame has such a miraculous effect. It seems that the name 'Nine Transformations' of the Nine Transformations Flame Phoenix Furnace came from this. "

Zhan Chen looked at the golden pill in his hand again. It looked inconspicuous and was only one-third the size of a normal Golden Elemental Pill. However, it was a Intermediate Grade Four pill. He really wanted to try the effects of this pill immediately.

"No! I have to go into seclusion immediately to refine this pill. "Zhan Chen felt that this small pill had become a knot in his heart.

Therefore, he hung up the closed-door cultivation token high and locked himself in the cultivation room. Only then did he take out the Gold Essence Pill and consume it. As soon as the Spirit Pill entered his body, it turned into a surging medicinal power. Sure enough, as Frightened Boy said, it had reached the standard of a mid-tier fourth grade medicinal pill.

Zhan Chen was overjoyed. He quickly locked the medicinal efficacy in his body and slowly absorbed it …

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. In the Cultivation Room, Zhan Chen slowly opened his eyes. After breaking through to Martial Saint, the speed at which he refined Medicinal Pills had increased greatly. The Rank 4 Medicinal Pills that he needed to absorb in the past had been reduced to three days.

He could not help but sigh, "With the support of the pill, cultivation is indeed different. In just a short span of three days, my Quintessential Force has increased by half. In this case, as long as I have twenty more of these Nine Transformations Golden Origin Pills, won't my cultivation break through to an intermediate-level Martial Honor?"

This made him sigh, "With the support of pills, cultivation is really different. In just three days, my True Energy has increased by half. This way, if I have another twenty Nine Transformations Golden Elemental Pills like this, won't my cultivation be able to break through to Intermediate Grade Martial Honor?"

The days passed peacefully. Zhan Chen spent most of his time in seclusion. Refining pills, taking pills, and raising his cultivation base had become the main rhythm of his life.

In the blink of an eye, another six months had passed and his cultivation had stabilized at the peak of Beginner Grade Martial Honor. If outsiders were to find out about this, they would definitely be shocked. He had only used six months to complete the journey that others would take decades to complete!

However, this was inevitable. In the past six months, Zhan Chen's alchemy skills had increased steadily. With the help of the Nine Transformation Phoenix Cauldron, he could even refine Beginner Grade Five pills!

He could easily refine pills that ordinary Martial Honors would find difficult to obtain. Moreover, they were all of the highest quality, the Nine Transformation Golden Elemental Pill.

In the cultivation room, Zhan Chen held a Beginner Grade Five Nine-Colored Golden Elemental Pill in his hand. His eyes were filled with nostalgia as he muttered, "Master, I wonder if you're doing well. I can already refine Beginner Grade Five Golden Elemental Pills. I remember that your greatest regret was not being able to refine Beginner Grade Five pills. And today, your disciple has finally fulfilled this wish for you! "

The Golden Marrow Consolidating Pill was a Beginner Grade Five Metal Elemental Pill recorded in the Jade Library's Guide to Alchemy. Aside from increasing a cultivator's vital energy, its most important function was to strengthen a cultivator's bones and meridians.

In order to refine this pill, Zhan Chen had put in a lot of effort. First, he had spent three months collecting the Spiritual Herbs needed to refine the pill. Secondly, during the refining process, a Beginner Grade Five pill required double the number of hand seals needed for a Beginner Grade Four pill. There were as many as 16 hand seals needed.

In the process of refining a medicinal pill, every additional seal used would consume an additional three layers of true essence compared to the previous seal.

Therefore, by the time Zhan Chen made the last hand seal, his vital energy had already been depleted. In the end, he had to squeeze out all the potential in his body to pass the test.

Through this round of alchemy, Zhan Chen also basically understood where the limit of his alchemy was, and that was the early fifth-grade alchemy pill.

If he wanted to refine a Beginner Grade Five pill, he would have to break through to become a Martial Honor.

At the thought of this, Zhan Chen looked at the pill in his hand again and thought, 'Now, let's see if this Golden Marrow Consolidating Pill can help me break through to become a Martial Honor!'

His eyes flashed with determination as he finally stuffed the pill into his mouth. The Golden Marrow Consolidating Pill quickly transformed into a continuous stream of medicinal energy, nourishing Zhan Chen's bones and then his meridians.

Zhan Chen felt that his body was becoming stronger and stronger with the help of this pill.

However, this was not the end. When Zhan Chen's body was full, the pill still left behind a large amount of medicinal energy. He gathered this energy and charged towards the Beginner Grade Martial Honor's sturdy barrier!

When the two strong cultivators met, neither was willing to take a step back. For a moment, the situation was in a stalemate. Zhan Chen could not help but feel anxious, 'This time, all the vital energy that I've cultivated was obtained by consuming pills. I didn't even have enough time to accumulate it. That's why the Beginner Grade Martial Honor's bottleneck is so sturdy. Am I going to fail?'

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a crisp 'kacha' sound from within his body. The battle between the medicinal energy and the bottleneck had finally come to an end.

Although the Golden Marrow Consolidating Pill was an Beginner Grade Five pill, under Zhan Chen's refinement, its medicinal energy was comparable to that of a Beginner Grade Five Spiritual Medicine. With the help of the Nine Transformations Golden Pill, Zhan Chen finally managed to achieve a breakthrough.

As soon as he entered the Beginner Grade Martial Honor, Zhan Chen immediately felt the proportion of vital energy in his body gradually increase. Another twenty percent of his vital energy was converted into vital energy. Now, the amount of vital energy in Zhan Chen's body had exceeded thirty percent.

His meridians were widened once again and their toughness was strengthened. His flesh and blood were filled to the brim. After his breakthrough, Zhan Chen gathered his Qi and consolidated it for three days. Then, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a murky breath. He stood up and clenched his fists, feeling the powerful energy in his body.

After breaking through to the Beginner Grade Martial Honor, his strength had reached fifteen thousand catties. Every time a Martial Honor breaks through, his strength would increase by five thousand catties.

'After breaking through to the Beginner Grade Martial Honor, the next step is the Beginner Grade Martial Honor. I must continue to work hard and increase my strength. Unfortunately, the energy obtained from the pills is superficial. The next time I break through, it won't be as smooth.'

'At the moment, what I lack the most is experience. It would be best if I could experience a few battles of life and death. This way, I can quickly become stronger!' Zhan Chen thought to himself.

He could not help but feel envious of the experience he had in the Golden Elephant Sect. The Holy Maiden Peak was good in every way except for the lack of freedom. Everyone had to surround Yin Meiru and serve her. Without her permission, no one was allowed to take even half a step out of the Holy Maiden Peak.

Zhan Chen frowned and thought for half a day. However, he could not come up with a better idea at the moment. He suddenly felt vexed and pushed the door open. He wanted to go outside to relax but he did not expect to bump into his enemy.

Huang Youshu was passing by the corridor when he saw Zhan Chen. He looked at him intently and revealed a shocked expression. He pointed his finger at Zhan Chen and cried out, "Lowly slave, how did you break through to the Beginner Grade Martial Honor?"

When Zhan Chen saw that Gu Ruoyun had insulted him the moment they met, he laughed coldly and replied, "That's right, I've broken through. I'm not like a certain someone who has been stuck at the Beginner Grade Martial Honor for almost a hundred years and still hasn't made any progress."

His words hit Huang Youshu's sore spot. After he had broken through to the Beginner Grade Martial Honor, he had been told that his potential had been exhausted. After that, he had tried everything he could think of but he still could not break through to the Martial Honor Great Completion.

"Zhan Chen, what do you mean by this?" Huang Youshu flew into a rage.

"Nothing. Just wait for this' lowly slave 'to surpass you!" He then turned around and left, ignoring the damned fatty.
