The pill forming process continued for an entire day within the bright-red medicinal cauldron. This was half of what Gu You had expected.
In the end, a dense pill fragrance seeped out of the medicinal cauldron like a dense fog. Gu You involuntarily frowned when he saw this. If this pill fragrance was allowed to spread, it might end up attracting those fellows with sharp noses. This was not a good thing for Xiao Yan.
Gu You softly laughed. He waved his large hand and an invisible force swiftly formed an invisible energy barrier around a hundred feet from Xiao Yan. The pill fragrance did not have the opportunity to spread under this barrier.
However, even though Xiao Yan controlled the pill fragrance from spreading in all directions, the originally clear and bright sky suddenly changed color at the same time that the medicinal pill was being formed within the medicinal cauldron.
The originally clear sky had turned into a rolling lightning fog in the blink of an eye. Rumbling thunder continuously sounded. Within a short couple of breaths, a dark-black thundercloud had already occupied the empty space above Xiao Yan's head. However, this thundercloud still showed signs of continuing to spread.
Gu You's face, which had just recovered, once again frowned when he saw this scene. An ordinary tier 2 medicinal pill would not be able to stir such a large thundercloud. Unless …
Gu You's eyes suddenly hardened when he thought of a certain possibility. While his heart was shocked, his sharp eyes immediately looked at the medicinal cauldron in front of Xiao Yan. More accurately speaking, he was looking at the tier 2 medicinal pill that had just been refined within the medicinal cauldron!
"Could it be … this brat is really too frightening!"
"Rumble …"
The skin at the corner of Gu You's eyes twitched intensely. Both of his eyes appeared as though he was looking at a monster as he looked at Xiao Yan. The dark-black thundercloud in the sky began to become restless after his soft muttering sounded.
"Hu …"
Xiao Yan exhaled a long breath of air that had been suppressed in his chest. He had not breathed a sigh of relief for half a month. At this moment, a smile, as though he had just survived a calamity, finally surfaced on his pale face.
"Haha, finally, I have succeeded in refining it!"
Xiao Yan sighed softly in his mouth. Only then did he slowly lift his eyes. His body, which was seated on the mountain peak, did not move. His eyes looked at the sky, where the thundercloud was churning intensely.
"Ha ha, Pill Lightning huh. Come at me if you have the ability!"
The corner of Xiao Yan's mouth was lifted into a faint arc. He was not the least bit nervous about this Pill Lightning. Instead, there was a cold smile on his face. It seemed that this thing, which could cause the expressions of most alchemists to change, was nothing to him.
The thundercloud, which was churning intensely, seemed to have sensed the cold smile in Xiao Yan's heart. In the next moment, the aura of the thundercloud, which was churning intensely, became even more frightening. Soon after, a huge crack appeared in the middle of the dark-black thundercloud, as though it had been forcefully torn apart. Soon after …
"Bang!"
A frightening thunderbolt with a frightening aura suddenly fell from the thundercloud in the sky. Its target was Xiao Yan below, as well as the medicinal pill in the medicinal cauldron in front of him.
"Ha ha, if you are the Emperor Tribulation, I will really not be a match for you. However, since it is Pill Lightning …"
Xiao Yan laughed out loud. His seated body did not move. It was as though he was waiting for the arrival of the Pill Lightning. At the same time, the might of the Pill Lightning soared after being provoked by Xiao Yan. The invisible space collapsed wherever it passed. Even the world could not help but tremble in front of it.
"Humph …"
Even though this was the case, Xiao Yan merely let out a cold laugh in exchange for this single lightning. In the next moment, Xiao Yan waved his hand when the Pill Lightning was about to land. A glow suddenly flashed on the Storage Ring on his finger. A black light immediately shot out in a lightning-like manner. In an instant, the red light covered the empty space around him. Soon after, it violently collided with the Pill Lightning that was heading toward him.
"Bang!"
The world shook. An earth-shaking explosion resounded in all directions. At the same time, the attention of everyone in Xilin City was once again attracted by the thundercloud in the sky outside the city. After half a month, these people could not help but recall the scene from half a month ago when they saw the thundercloud again.
However, at this moment, this thundercloud was clearly closer to them compared to the thundercloud from half a month ago. Moreover, based on what everyone knew, this thundercloud was undoubtedly a Pill Lightning. Since it was a Pill Lightning, these Ban Di experts in the city would involuntarily feel a curiosity and greed in their hearts. Immediately, numerous rays of light leaped into the sky from the city. All of them swiftly flew toward Xiao Yan's location.
After the explosion, the black ray of light was violently sent flying by the sky-high thunderbolt. At the same time, the Pill Lightning was also forcefully blocked.
The black ray of light landed and transformed into the figure of the Northern King. At a closer look, a frightening force had forcefully smashed a huge hole in the chest of the Northern King. It looked extremely frightening. It was difficult to imagine just how frightening it would be if the thunderbolt from earlier landed on a living person's body.
Although this was the case, when Xiao Yan looked over, the huge hole in the chest of the Northern King was rapidly recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the Northern King had completely recovered. Moreover, after being struck by the Pill Lightning, not only was the Northern King not injured, but his black skin had also become even darker.
Many thumb-sized thunderbolts continued to flow on the surface of the Northern King's body. At a closer look, purple-gold light quietly appeared on the surface of the Northern King's body …
"Huh?"
The expression in Xiao Yan's eyes involuntarily hardened when he sensed this. Soon after, a joy swiftly rose from the bottom of his heart. This kind of situation was something that Xiao Yan had seen on the Golden Demon Puppets back then. When the color on the puppet's body changed, it proved that the puppet's strength was about to enter the next level. The little change that was happening to the Northern King in front of him indicated that the strength of the Northern King was about to surpass the Ban Di class and enter the elite Dou Di class!
For the current Xiao Yan, this could be said to be a truly earth-shaking joy!
Currently, the opening of the Desolate Ancient Remains was imminent. Experts from all over the world had gathered in Xilin City. Forget about the Ban Di class experts, there were at least ten elite Dou Di class experts. At this moment, the little change of the Northern King had created a huge problem in Xiao Yan's heart. If the Northern King broke through to the Dou Di class, he would have greater confidence in this trip to the Desolate Ancient Remains!
