The Red River Gang was a third-rate force, and their foundation was quite good. Yang Wu and the Colossal Wave Gang had plundered their territory, and their harvest was not small.
Other than a few stalks of saint herbs, there were many small saint herbs, heavenly herbs, king herbs, and many other strange items. Most of them had fallen into Yang Wu's hands, and Liang Rulong didn't dare to take the biggest share.
Yang Wu picked out many useful items from the pile. Among them, there were two Saint-tier demonic cores that could be used to concoct Saint Pills. One of them was actually the demonic core of a demon tortoise. He murmured, "When I bring Little Silver back, it wouldn't be a bad idea to reward it to him."
Little Silver was a silver-patterned turtle.
Liang Rulong gathered a lot of herbs and gave them all to Yang Wu. Among them, there were three stalks of Saint herbs that he had collected over the years. There was also a Saint level Demon Core, which was extremely valuable.
He didn't have the ability to kill a demon overlord, and it was an unexpected gain. Now, it could be put to good use.
Yang Wu took these herbs and thought for a long time before he said to Liang Rulong, "You have barely gathered enough ingredients to refine a saint pill. If I accidentally destroy a stalk of saint herb, the saint pill might be gone."
Liang Rulong said generously, "Young Clan Head, feel free to use it. If the saint herb is gone, it's gone."
The man said generously, but in his heart, he was worried that the saint herb would really be destroyed. This was a saint item that he had obtained with great difficulty. If it was really gone, it would be strange if he didn't feel the pain.
Yang Wu could see that this man didn't mean what he said, but the other party was willing to give so many herbs to him. His intentions were quite good.
"En, don't worry. If you can refine the saint pill, it means that you have the chance to enter the Star Pattern Realm. If you can't, you can only blame your bad luck." Yang Wu replied softly.
Liang Rulong nodded and didn't refute. His heart was beating like a drum. "Young Clan Head, do you really know how to refine pills?"
Liang Rulong had long since learned of Yang Wu's origins. He came from the Sinner's Bloodline and was a peerless genius from the mortal world. However, he had never heard of him being able to refine pills.
Yang Wu brought Liang Rulong to a quiet mountain. This was also one of the territories under the jurisdiction of the Ju Lang Gang, so there was no need to worry about anyone coming to disturb them.
"Stand guard for me. No one is allowed to get close to this place. You should stay away as well," Yang Wu instructed Liang Rulong.
"Yes, young patriarch." Liang Rulong responded and retreated. He quickly sensed the situation around him and didn't allow anyone to approach.
Yang Wu first observed the terrain, then chose a place where profound qi gathered, took out the bronze cauldron, and began to refine the Holy Pill.
This time, he was only going to refine an ordinary Holy Pill, the "Prominent Holy Pill".
The "Prominent Holy Pill" and the "Star Pattern Holy Pill" were both Holy Pills, but their levels were different. The "Prominent Holy Pill" was an ordinary Holy Pill. It could increase the chances of a half-saint breaking through to the Star Pattern Holy Pill by 20-30%. The "Star Pattern Holy Pill" had at least a 70% chance of breaking through. The latter required more refining materials.
Yang Wu had never refined a Holy Pill before, and he wasn't confident that he could refine a Holy Pill on his first try. After all, reaching the Saint Realm meant that his alchemy skills were very high. This was a major watershed for alchemists. Many Little Saint Alchemists had been stuck and couldn't advance further.
Yang Wu's body had reached the Dragon Transformation Realm, and the Divine Court Dao Flower had also undergone a shocking change. Furthermore, Lan Yao Ji had also become a Sacred Flame. This was the reason why he dared to try to refine a Sacred Pill, and he only dared to choose the most ordinary Sacred Pill.
Yang Wu started refining. Stalk after stalk of herbs he collected were thrown into the cauldron. Blue Demoness burned on the cauldron, refining the essence of the herbs.
At this moment, an illusory figure that Yang Wu couldn't sense appeared. It was the bronze cauldron's spirit. It looked old and clumsy. It held a walking stick in its hand and looked at the young man refining. It couldn't help but sigh, "This kid's physical body has reached the Saint Realm so quickly. He's not bad at all."
The bronze cauldron's spirit was an existence that could scare the pagoda spirit of the God of War Pagoda. It had existed for god knows how many years. It had existed since humans first learned how to cast cauldrons. It was an existence that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. It had gone through many alchemy masters before finally becoming an immortal cauldron. It wasn't inferior to Little Hei's Shennong Immortal Cauldron at all.
The cauldron's spirit silently watched the young man refining. From time to time, it would reveal traces of nostalgia. It hadn't seen such an outstanding young man for many years.
Although this young man wasn't born as an apprentice alchemist, his temperament was definitely outstanding. If his perception was better, he might grow even faster.
"Kid, the number of times you've refined pills is still too little. If you can wholeheartedly focus on refining pills, you will surely achieve great success in your pill-making. When that time comes, you will become one of the noblest characters in the universe. Why not?" The cauldron's spirit murmured. It pointed at the void. Yang Wu inexplicably felt that the herbs before him had become alive. It was as though he was standing in the middle of a medicinal garden. He could smell the fragrance of the herbs, understand their medicinal properties, and better utilize their medicinal efficacies to condense medicinal pellets.
In the past, he only knew how to extract the essence of medicinal efficacies and fuse them into a medicinal pellet. But now, he suddenly discovered that every drop of essence could be separated into a certain proportion and fused together. Only then could he utilize their medicinal efficacies perfectly without causing excessive wastage.
The Dao Flower of the Divine Court swayed gently. The superficial knowledge of pill-making he had comprehended in Mount Heng was activated. It was integrated into his pill-making, increasing his understanding of pill-making. He analyzed every step he took, memorized the good ones, and eliminated the bad ones. His knowledge of pill-making was slowly improving.
The sacred pill required an extremely large number of herbs. After refining all of the herbs, the surroundings were filled with the smell of herbs. Furthermore, the ordinary herbs growing in the surroundings were rapidly growing as though they were being nourished by the medicinal efficacies. It was as though some kind of great Dao was being condensed.
Yang Wu entered a state where he forgot about everything around him. There was only the cauldron and Blue Enchantress in his eyes.
Cauldron Spirit looked at Yang Wu and couldn't help but praise, "Your perception is indeed not bad."
In the next moment, it quietly disappeared into the cauldron.
It was looking forward to the moment when the sacred pill was condensed. It had been a long time since it had enjoyed the feeling of being struck by sacred lightning. Its body felt a little itchy.
When the sacred demon core was thrown into the cauldron, a sacred demon soul emerged. It was the soul of a giant shark demon. It bared its sharp teeth and pounced at Yang Wu. Its terrifying aura was enough to frighten any ordinary alchemist.
"Be obedient." Yang Wu looked at the giant shark demon soul and murmured. His battle soul rushed out like a tiger. In just a few punches, the demon soul was severely damaged.
After the demon body died, the remaining power of the demon soul would be reduced by more than half. How could it compete with Yang Wu?
* Hong Long Hong Long! *
The pill tribulation arrived. In an instant, thirty-six heavenly lightning bolts struck down. Each of them was as big as a water bucket. The lightning energy contained in each of them was extremely terrifying. Even a peak Minor Saint would be turned into dust. There was a total of thirty-six heavenly lightning bolts. Even a half-step Saint would be struck to death.
Yang Wu looked at the lightning bolts. His body soared up like an eagle, taking the initiative to receive the lightning bolts. He circulated the Nine Lightning Body Tempering Technique. The heavenly lightning bone in his body was sparkling and translucent. There was a cross mark on his spine. All of a sudden, the devouring power of the mark soared and absorbed the thirty-six heavenly lightning bolts.
Liang Rulong, who was not far away, saw the sudden appearance of the terrifying heavenly lightning. His eyes twitched violently. He exclaimed, "Has the young patriarch really succeeded in refining the sacred pill?"
He couldn't believe that Yang Wu was an alchemist. Not only did he possess such great combat strength at such a young age, he was also a Saint Alchemist. How could he let others live?
When he saw the heavenly lightning bolts striking down, his thoughts were shaken. Perhaps, the young patriarch was really a Saint Alchemist.
The power of the thirty-six heavenly lightning bolts was too terrifying. If he were to receive them, he would probably be buried here.
When he saw the young patriarch soar into the sky and absorb the power of the heavenly lightning, his eyes almost popped out.
Yang Wu also didn't expect that the Divine Weapon Electric Fork would take the initiative to absorb the power of lightning. When the thirty-six heavenly lightning bolts landed on his body at the same time, he was in so much pain that he sucked in a breath of cold air. Even if he had refined a Saint Body, he was still not a true Saint Realm expert.
The Nine Lightning Body Tempering Technique took effect and tempered part of the lightning power into the heavenly lightning bone. Even more of the heavenly lightning power was absorbed by the electric fork.
Yang Wu only felt a burst of pain, but he didn't feel too uncomfortable anymore.
However, the second wave of heavenly lightning quickly struck down.
The number of heavenly lightning bolts in this wave was reduced by half. There were only thirteen heavenly lightning bolts, but each of them was shockingly a Scarlet Flame Lightning. They belonged to a variant of heavenly lightning. Moreover, the power of each heavenly lightning bolt was several times stronger than the previous one.
Yang Wu was blasted to the ground. The entire mountain completely disappeared. Liang Rulong was so scared that he hid as far as he could.
Even if Liang Rulong was affected by this power, he would definitely die. This was a true Saint Lightning. It was too terrifying.
After the Scarlet Flame Lightning disappeared, the third wave of heavenly lightning fell down. The power of the heavenly lightning was reduced to six, but each of them was like a lightning snake descending. They were also suffused with a faint golden color. It was the Golden Snake Lightning which was of a higher level than the Scarlet Flame Lightning. The six Golden Snake Lightning wreaked havoc. The mountain was erased. The ground sank into a huge deep pit. All the flowers and trees in the vicinity were destroyed.
In the distance, the Ju Lang Gang's people were scared out of their wits. They looked at the Heavenly Thunder, and their complexions became incomparably pale. Their eardrums were shattered by the sound of the thunder, and some of the weaker cultivators directly fainted.
"What the hell is going on? Who dares to make such a big noise in the territory of our Ju Lang gang?"
"Could it be that a Saint who cultivates the power of lightning has descended? The power of the heavenly lightning is too terrifying. If any of them were to land here, we would be completely obliterated."
"The gang leader and the young patriarch seem to be over there. Could it be that the Li family is taking revenge on us?"
"Quickly enter a defensive state and activate the array. If any stranger comes near, immediately kill without mercy."
"Why do I feel like there is a Saint Alchemist refining pills? Those heavenly lightning bolts are like the Pill Tribulation that I have seen before."
