Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 199 - 197: Fifth Heaven
Does the Zhang Family have enough medicinal herbs prepared?
If anyone else had said this, they would have been thrown out at once.
The Zhang Family is one of Qingzhou’s top clans—how could they possibly lack spirit elixirs?
But when these words came from Xu Yang’s mouth, no one in the hall felt it was out of place!
Because he can refine super-grade pills!
They haven’t appeared for so many years.
To be honest, in the entire Daqian right now, the only one publicly known to be able to refine super-grade pills is Xu Yang!
A single super-grade pill, with effects several times greater than a top-grade one, is enough to send anyone into madness!
If such a pill master resided in any great clan, it would drive everyone mad with jealousy.
At this very moment, Zhang Yuanshan and Zhang Lingqiao felt like their excitement was about to burst.
Bai Jingxue was utterly envious!
But thinking that Xu Yang still had to go to Central State and that the Central State Bai Family would also have the chance at such an opportunity, she felt a little better.
Otherwise, if the Bai Family missed out while the Zhang Family alone gained everything, she would have truly collapsed!
"Enough, absolutely enough!"
"Mr. Xu can have as much as he wants!"
Zhang Lingqiao recovered his composure, gripping the chair’s armrest tightly, barely restraining the urge to smash it apart.
Even as the head of the Zhang Family, he could not maintain calm!
This was a heaven-sent opportunity for the Zhang Family!
Even if they were only third or fourth-rank super-grade pills, one must know—just how great would the benefits be for the younger generation after taking them?
Their personal foundations and potential would be vastly enhanced.
This was not something that mere talent could bring.
Low-rank pills aren’t worth much, but what if they’re super-grade?
A large quantity?
Even average talents could rival the favored prodigies of other clans!
Not only will they surpass others now, but in seven, eight, or ten years, the difference will be even more obvious!
Watching the excited Zhang Lingqiao, Xu Yang smiled and said, "Clan Leader Zhang, please prepare me a quiet room."
This time, he was planning to refine a massive amount of pills!
His spiritual power had already reached perfection at the Yang Realm level.
Feverish alchemy, continuously consuming and restoring, was both tempering and sublimating his spirit!
It would greatly help him break through to the Myriad Phenomena Realm in spirit power and to the Yang Realm in cultivation!
At the same time, it was also a gift to the Zhang Family!
The Zhangs had already resolved to walk the same path as him, to support him wholeheartedly!
After this, their determination would only be firmer!
"Alright."
"Yuanshan, I’ll leave it to you." Zhang Lingqiao ordered directly.
Afterwards, Xu Yang followed Zhang Yuanshan to the quiet chamber.
There was still over a month before the Qibao Grotto Heaven would open.
Enough time to refine a great many pills, and the subsequent advancements from recovery could not be underestimated!
Xu Yang also left instructions for the others.
Men Ziqiu, Zhao Mushen, and the others, following Liou Yunfeng, would keep searching for precious Yin-Yang spiritual objects after his departure!
From Gu Jun’s tone, the Yin-Yang spiritual objects needed to set up the formation would never be a small number!
If he had to find them all by himself, it would be far too slow!
Besides, the Zhang and Bai Families also had their networks.
Though ties with the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association had cooled, it scarcely made a difference.
Inside the quiet chamber, Xu Yang checked the list of spirit elixirs delivered by the Zhang Family.
What they wanted him to refine were all third and fourth-rank super-grade pills.
Of course, he still couldn’t refine fifth-rank pills just yet.
"Once my cultivation breaks through to the Yang Realm, refining fifth-rank super-grade pills will be as easy as a wave of the hand!"
Even sixth-rank top-grade pills wouldn’t be a problem!
By then, the temptation for the Zhang and Bai Families would be even stronger!
Now, with the sudden appearance of the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association as a mysterious arch-enemy, strength was most important, but external assistance would definitely make things easier.
The Alchemy Dao was his most solid foundation!
With a single thought, Xu Yang sprang into motion.
The Zhang Family.
The news about alchemy was still a secret for now, but some of the Zhang Family’s direct-line prodigies knew, and they all assembled together!
All the young men and women were full of spirit, their faces glowing with excitement.
The first was Zhang Yun in Beixuan City; Zhang Yuanshan is his uncle and was the first to receive a super-grade pill.
The effects were remarkable!
After he returned, everyone saw it with their own eyes, and all were consumed with envy!
Now, they all had a chance too—and in great numbers!
Just thinking about it kept them awake day and night!
"I heard the Clan Leader has given orders to take out all the third and fourth-rank spirit elixirs from the clan, and they’re still buying more from outside—how many super-grade pills will be refined?"
"A single one is several times more potent than top-grade, but most crucial is the fundamental transformation that a super-grade pill brings, which no amount of top-grade pills can match!"
"Our Zhang Family is about to rise!"
"Zhang Yun, do you think Mr. Xu likes someone like me?"
A young girl touched her face and looked at Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun curled his lip with annoyance, "Don’t kid yourself. Do you know about Bai Jingxue? The Barbarian Princess, Tuoba Hongyu? And someone even prettier than Bai Jingxue, Su Yun. Even they don’t catch Mr. Xu’s eye!"
"Bai Jingxue? Hiss—!" The girl gasped in shock, her face falling at once!
"By the way, Mr. Xu came to our Zhang Family and didn’t even rest before starting to refine pills. Should we give him a tour?" someone suggested.
"Forget it."
Just then, a young man walked over and said coolly, "Don’t trouble yourselves with such things. Just wait to get your super-grade pills and go train!"
He was Zhang Hong, current number one prodigy of the Zhang Family, son of Zhang Lingqiao, and the heir to the Clan Leader!
"When Mr. Xu is almost done with the refining, I’ll go invite him. I heard he doesn’t like crowds, so when the time comes, don’t gather around or discuss things foolishly, lest Mr. Xu be displeased!"
"Hong, do you perhaps have an idea?" Zhang Yun looked at Zhang Hong with curiosity.
Zhang Hong smiled mysteriously, "That’s a secret for now, but I’m sure Mr. Xu will definitely be pleased!"
The others scratched their heads in bewilderment, all the more curious, but as Zhang Hong clearly wouldn’t explain, they could only hold back their frustration.
...
In a blink, more than half a month passed.
Ordinary alchemists, even Liou Yunfeng back when he was at the fourth or fifth rank, would have been hard-pressed to make many pills in half a month—let alone super-grade ones!
But for Xu Yang, quantity was never an issue!
Once the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod was out, the pills were formed in an instant!
In half a month: nearly three hundred third-rank super-grade pills!
Nearly two hundred fourth-rank super-grade pills!
Enough to give the Zhang Family’s direct young generation several each—whether at True Void Realm or Yin Realm!
This number shocked the Zhang Family’s younger generation to the core, and made Zhang Lingqiao and Zhang Yuanshan pound their chests in regret and sigh day after day!
"If only I had a daughter."
"If only Zhang Yang was my child!"
"That damn Bai Family—even if Mr. Xu seems indifferent to Bai Jingxue, she’s still pleasing to the eye. When they get to Central State, I’m afraid..."
"This is a truly once-in-a-millennium freak of the Alchemy Dao!!"
"The Zhang Family absolutely must not disappoint Mr. Xu!"
"Yuanshan, go contact the Yunshan Clan. Eating alone feels good, but if we bring in the Yunshan Clan too and help Mr. Xu bring down the Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association in Qingzhou, it’ll be so much easier."
...
Xu Yang was still unaware of Zhang Lingqiao’s plan to present him with a great gift. At this moment, after his spiritual power returned to its peak, he could clearly sense its qualitative improvement.
He was now one step further toward the Myriad Phenomena level of spiritual power!
At a thought, his consciousness entered the Demon Dragon Saber.
"It should almost be possible to open the Fifth Heaven."
The fivefold might of the Demon Dragon Saber’s heavens!!
