A deafening explosion rang out in the sky above the plaza. The invisible space violently distorted from the sound. Once the energy swept out, the world would collapse.
Soon after, a sharp sound of rushing air appeared. A ray of light once again flew past First Elder Li Chengxu's eyes in the blink of an eye. Immediately, a loud bang sounded and it heavily smashed into the square below. In an instant, dust filled the air. Numerous large cracks densely covered the square, accompanied by the sound of thunder exploding. When the dust dissipated, everyone's gazes landed on a huge pit in the square. A purple-gold figure was standing majestically in a huge pit. His head was held high, and his eyes were empty and filled with killing intent as he stared at the thunderclouds in the sky. His body shook, and the huge pit under his feet caved in again. At the same time, his body shot up into the sky.
"Is that … a puppet?"
Li Chengxu was immediately stunned when he saw the Northern King. Only after a closer inspection did he discover the Northern King's identity. At almost the same time, the Northern King collided with the shocking lightning once more.
"Cough cough … First elder, leave the matters here to me …"
Xiao Yan coughed violently a few times and raised his head with a pale face. He looked at Li Chengxu in the sky and spoke with a hoarse voice.
Li Chengxu was stunned at first when he heard that. He still felt some hesitation inside, but when he saw the disciples who had gathered around the plaza because of the pill lightning, his expression changed slightly. He nodded heavily and called for the other elders to leave together. The disciples who had gathered around the plaza all left as well.
In the sky, the Northern King continued to clash with the pill lightning. Every time a bolt of pill lightning fell, it would be even more powerful than before. Towards the end, when the pill lightning landed on the Northern King, its terrifying power would have directly passed through his body. If it were not for the Northern King's ability to devour lightning, the remaining power of the pill lightning probably would have landed on Xiao Yan's head.
After being baptized by the pill lightning several times, the Northern King's strength rapidly increased. He had already reached the Origin Transformation realm and was close to the mid Origin Transformation realm. Even so, the thunderclouds in the sky were still far from completely dispersing.
On the shattered stone platform below, Xiao Yan stabilized his body and ignored what was happening in the sky. After retrieving the medicinal pills from the medicinal cauldron in front of him, he used this short period of time to quickly recover the energy in his body.
Recovering Genesis Qi was naturally much simpler. With the power of the pills, he could recover quite a bit in a short period of time. On the other hand, Spirit power needed a long time to slowly recover. If Xiao Yan continued to open the cauldron to refine pills, although he still had a chance of success, it would definitely be much lower. If he rested for a few more days …
No, Xiao Yan couldn't wait that long, and neither could Xiao Xuan. They had to use this opportunity to refine the Bone Restoration Pill in one fell swoop!
With this thought in mind, a blazing light suddenly surged in Xiao Yan's eyes. With a flip of his hand, a decaying vine fell into his hand.
The Purple Heart Magnolia Vine also contained Spirit power. Unfortunately, its grade was too low, and its energy was mottled. Besides being able to refine a few special pills, it had almost no use. Due to its low value, Xiao Yan didn't use it on Xiao Xuan. However, at this point, it was the only thing that Xiao Yan could use.
Once the wild, violent energy within the medicinal ingredient invaded, its strength would naturally not be underestimated. However, Xiao Yan could not be bothered about that now. The moment the Purple Heart Jade Orchid Vine entered his hand, a thought passed through his mind and a pale-blue flame immediately began to burn violently in his palm. In almost an instant, the layer of rotten wood on the surface of the medicinal ingredient turned into ashes. Following this, a small vine that emitted a purple fluorescent light appeared.
With the refinement of the Heavenly Flame, a violent presence began to radiate from it. However, the Heavenly Flame was able to suppress it for the time being.
At the same time, the pill lightning in the sky became more and more powerful. When the final bolt of lightning landed on the Northern King, his body had already turned into a purplish-gold color. Lightning constantly flickered on the surface of his body. His strength had reached late Origin Transformation, only a step away from Returnance.
By the time the Pill Lightning scattered, the purple-colored vine in Xiao Yan's hand was less than an inch long. The remaining strength had already been absorbed by Xiao Yan. The mottled Spiritual Strength had merged into Xiao Yan's body after being refined by the Heavenly Flame. Although the amount was little, it was still able to make up for it. However, from the looks of it, it was likely that he would need to continue refining for a period of time in order to completely refine this vine …
"Boom!"
Xiao Yan suddenly clapped his hands together. By relying on his overbearing strength, he actually shattered that small vine into powder. The 'Heavenly Flame' also pounced over in an instant, refining and absorbing all the remaining strength within it.
After doing all this, Xiao Yan's pale-white face more or less recovered. Only then did he once again place his hand on the medicinal cauldron in front of him. At the same time that the 'Heavenly Flame' appeared, another few hundred types of medicinal ingredients once again flew out of his storage ring.
"This fellow … he's already reached his limit, yet he still wants to continue?"
Li Chengxu and the others outside could not help but reveal a sliver of worry when they saw this. It was just too far-fetched for him to undergo the refinement process in such a state. Just the slightest carelessness and the failure of the pill refinement was a small matter, but once his foundation was damaged, it would be difficult to make up for it!
On the other side, the Fairy Doctor currently stood at the top of a building. Her pretty eyes were filled with worry as she stared at Xiao Yan in the center of the square. Her brows were tightly knit together, and her hands were tightly clenched. She was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Yan.
This wait lasted for a month.
Beside Xiao Yan, the Northern King stood motionless like a metal tower. At this moment, the pill within the cauldron in front of Xiao Yan was already making its final preparations.
The atmosphere gradually changed. At a certain moment, dense dark clouds suddenly rolled in the sky. Xiao Yan, whose eyes were already blood-red and whose face was withered and yellow, suddenly slammed his hand on the cauldron. With the help of the Pill Melting Ring, he immediately retrieved the pill. He squeezed out the last bit of energy in his body and stored the pill into his Spatial Ring.
At the same time, the pill lightning in the sky once again broke through the sky!
This time, the pill lightning came even more violently. The Northern King once again attacked the sky. Xiao Yan's vision turned black, and he fainted on the spot. Xiao Xuan also immediately appeared at this moment and supported Xiao Yan.
The shocking battle unfolded once again in the sky. The grand elder, Li Chengxu, and the others, as well as the Fairy Doctor, who had hurried over to Xiao Yan's side long ago, were all worriedly checking on Xiao Yan's condition.
Fortunately, after a long period of refining medicine, Xiao Yan's foundation was not damaged despite having exhausted all the strength in his body and even squeezed out all his strength. There were also no sequelae left behind. This was something worth rejoicing over. Thus, as long as Xiao Yan rested for a couple of days, he should be able to recover to his peak condition.
After this, Xiao Yan would probably be more careful when refining pills in the future. Otherwise, it would really be difficult to say what would happen if this happened again.
As for the Northern King, his battle prowess had skyrocketed after receiving the pill lightning. He had reached mid Returnance, and if the remaining energy in his body was included, he would probably be able to reach late Returnance once he finished absorbing the pill lightning.
