The Vermillion Pill
Under the Tree of Souls, Ning Yue began to refine the Vermillion Pill.
To be honest, Ning Yue had never refined a Vermillion Pill before, so he was extra careful this time.
Chi, chi!
As Ning Yue threw the herbs into the cauldron, he used his Spiritual Perception to observe the situation inside the cauldron.
Ning Yue carefully dissolved and refined every single herb.
There were not many herbs required to refine the Vermillion Pill.
If it was any other sixth-grade pill, Ning Yue would only need ten minutes to refine all the herbs. However, to refine the Vermillion Pill, Ning Yue took an hour to refine all the herbs.
"Go!"
After refining all the herbs, Ning Yue growled and threw the Vermillion Fruit into the cauldron.
Whoosh!
From afar, Chu Guang kept an eye on Ning Yue's movements.
When Ning Yue was refining the herbs, Chu Guang did not react.
However, when Chu Guang saw Ning Yue throw the Vermillion Fruit into the cauldron, his eyes widened and he stood up.
"Is he using the Vermillion Fruit to refine a long-lost ancient pill?!"
Chu Guang's eyes were filled with shock.
The Vermillion Fruit was extremely potent. If it was added into an ordinary pill, there was no doubt that the pill would explode.
However, Chu Guang had heard of a type of pill.
Only that kind of pill could be refined by adding the Vermilion Fruit during the refining process without causing the pill to explode.
Chu Guang's lips curled into a smile.
"Let's wait and see. If Ning Yue is really going to refine an ancient pill, then I'll make a killing today …"
However, before Chu Guang could finish his sentence, he quickly composed himself and sat down cross-legged.
At that moment, Chu Guang felt a perceptive force notice him.
Unsurprisingly, the power of perception came from Ning Yue.
"It won't be too late for me to make a move after the Soul Tree devours you." Chu Guang closed his eyes as if he was resting.
"Looks like Ning Yue was right. There's something wrong with this Chu Guang."
Hong Mo murmured within the storage ring.
"Then what are we waiting for? There's something wrong with him. Let's hurry up and take him down," the Dark Emperor shouted.
"It's not time yet. Let's wait for him to completely reveal his fox tail before we make our move." Hong Mo waved his hand and said, "If we make a move now, it might have a bad effect on Ning Yue and affect his pill refining."
"Hearing what you said, it seems to make sense. Since that's the case, I'll listen to you and wait for Ning Yue to refine the pill before we make our move." The Dark Emperor looked like he had come to a sudden realization.
"Explode!"
Ning Yue didn't have time to care about Chu Guang's little tricks. After he threw the Vermilion Fruit into the cauldron, he immediately released half of his soul power into the cauldron.
The most crucial part of refining the Vermilion Pill was refining the Vermilion Fruit. As long as he could successfully refine the Vermilion Fruit, there would be a 90% chance of refining the Vermilion Pill.
In addition, Ning Yue wanted to refine as high a quality Vermilion Pill as possible, so he had to be even more careful.
Boom!
Time was ticking away.
Hard work paid off. Half an hour later, Ning Yue successfully refined the Vermilion Fruit.
"Phew."
With the Vermilion Fruit successfully refined, the pressure on Ning Yue lessened a little.
"Fuse!"
Along with Ning Yue's shout, the medicinal liquids that were scattered everywhere in the cauldron began to gradually fuse together.
After about ten minutes, when all the medicinal liquids were completely fused, Ning Yue quickly released the remaining half of his soul power into the cauldron.
"Pill formation!"
After another ten minutes, Ning Yue slapped the cauldron with his right hand and shouted at the same time.
Swoosh!
In the next instant, the lid of the elixir flew out, and an elixir that was emitting a blood-red glow burst out of the cauldron.
"Great, it's a supreme-grade Vermilion Pill!"
Looking at the red elixir floating in the air, Ning Yue revealed an ecstatic expression.
Originally, Ning Yue thought that he could only refine the superior-grade Vermilion Pill. Who would have thought that he would refine the supreme-grade Vermilion Pill?
If the superior-grade Vermilion Pill had a certain chance of elevating Ning Yue's physical strength to the peak of the Manifestation Realm, then the supreme-grade Vermilion Pill could definitely elevate Ning Yue's physical strength to the peak of the Manifestation Realm.
Ning Yue's current overall strength was equivalent to a martial artist in the advanced stage of the Manifestation Realm. If he encountered a martial artist in the peak of the Manifestation Realm, he could only run away without any room to fight back.
However, if he could elevate his physical strength to the peak of the Manifestation Realm, even if he did not elevate his cultivation to the peak of the Yin-Yang Realm, he could still exchange a few blows with a martial artist in the peak of the Manifestation Realm.
Of course, he could only exchange a few blows.
If Ning Yue wanted to contend or even kill a martial artist in the peak of the Manifestation Realm, he had to elevate his cultivation to the peak of the Yin-Yang Realm or even the half-step to the Manifestation Realm!
Swoosh!
However, before the joy on Ning Yue's face faded, he saw a cold glint rushing out of the Soul Tree. Its target was the Vermilion Pill!
"I knew you would do this."
The cold glint that suddenly rushed out was already within Ning Yue's expectations.
Ning Yue gathered the soul power in his body on his wrist and blasted out with a backhand palm.
"Life and Death Palm!"
The Soul Tree could devour soul power. If it could not be intimidated, it could even devour the martial artist along with it.
The number of genius martial artists that had been devoured by the Soul Tree in front of him numbered in the hundreds.
Unfortunately, the Soul Tree had underestimated Ning Yue and the power of the Life and Death Palm.
The Life and Death Palm was an extremely powerful soul attack. Combined with the strength of Ning Yue's peak grade six soul power, the cold glint that flew out of the Soul Tree was blasted away.
Moreover, the palm print did not dissipate. Instead, it blasted straight into the trunk of the Soul Tree.
Whoosh!
The Soul Tree could not help but shake after being blasted by the palm print of the Life and Death Palm.
"Damn it!"
Not far away, Chu Guang saw that the Soul Tree was attacked and cursed. He immediately leaped up and rushed toward Ning Yue.
As Chu Guang rushed out, he said some high-sounding words, "Ning Yue, I lent the Soul Tree to you to use. How dare you try to destroy it. Since that's the case, I can only teach you a lesson."
Smack!
Ning Yue did not even look at Chu Guang. Instead, he grabbed the Vermilion Pill and threw it into his mouth.
"Arrogant!"
Ning Yue's action completely infuriated Chu Guang.
Chu Guang unleashed the aura of an Early-stage Fate Realm expert and pressed down on Ning Yue.
At the same time, Chu Guang separated a bit of soul power and began to communicate with the Soul Tree.
Although Chu Guang's cultivation was only at the early-stage Manifestation State, the strength of his soul power was not weak. It had reached the early-stage grade eight.
"Ning Yue, I originally wanted to let you live for a while longer. Now, it seems that there is no need for that." Chu Guang said darkly, "Next, you will become nourishment for the Soul Tree!"
"Crack."
Ning Yue chewed the Vermilion Pill twice and said lightly, "Is that so?"
"Of course. As long as the Soul Tree devours you, not only will my soul power increase to the mid-stage grade eight, but my cultivation will also increase to the mid-stage Manifestation State!"
