Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 50: He Finally Arrived
The difficulty of refining the Star Soul Elixir is no less than that of the Blood Beast Elixir!
He planned to use it to boost his spiritual power; for the first batch, Xu Yang intended to refine top-grade pills first!
If he went straight for super-grade, his current level of spiritual power wouldn’t be able to bear it.
Top-grade, fourth tier—he couldn’t afford to be careless.
As the black flames blazed up, each spirit elixir was thrown in one by one, and finally came the Purple Star Fruit.
Buzz!!
As the medicinal liquid began to coalesce into the embryonic pill, Xu Yang felt his spiritual power being drained at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Several breaths passed.
The pill-condensing began.
Hua!
With a burst of violet pill-light, three Star Soul Elixirs lay at the bottom of the divine cauldron, incomparably alluring.
"Done."
Xu Yang couldn’t help but let out a long breath. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Three top-grade Star Soul Elixirs—this was already the limit.
Normally, from a batch of Star Soul Elixir, it’s not uncommon for lesser skill to yield only one pill.
All top-grade, and managing three—he was already among the best.
He picked one up and popped it into his mouth; Xu Yang swiftly shut his eyes and entered cultivation mode.
The pill melted instantly, a surge of cool energy streaming straight to the crown of his head.
Xu Yang felt his spiritual consciousness enveloped by that force.
Though intense, it was incredibly gentle.
It was just what he could withstand for now.
As for this cooling sensation, it was nothing to him.
As time passed, Xu Yang’s spiritual power steadily climbed.
When all three pills were completely absorbed—
Xu Yang narrowed his eyes; with a thought, the air before him suddenly rippled, as if stirred by an invisible giant hand.
The waves grew ever more intense.
A few breaths later, it felt as if a fierce wind struck, a howling sound echoed.
Xu Yang’s face turned pale in an instant, but he was full of joy: "Almost there."
Compared to before, his spiritual power had increased nearly twofold.
Below the Yin Realm, among martial artists, few could rival his spiritual power.
"With two, at most three super-grade Star Soul Elixirs, my spiritual power will truly solidify—enough to match a Yin Realm martial artist!"
Xu Yang looked at the divine cauldron, smiled faintly, adjusted his state, and immediately began refining a super-grade Star Soul Elixir.
The refining process went as smooth as still water.
The final key was the Six Heavenly Skills!
When the skill seal covered the cauldron, in that instant, the embryonic pill, formed from two sets of herbs, erupted with turbulence.
The next moment, pill clouds like starlight gushed forth.
The divine cauldron trembled, Star Soul Elixir shot out violently.
Prepared in advance, Xu Yang snatched out a hand.
Bang!
Xu Yang’s expression contorted, pain flashed across his face, his whole body erupted, holding nothing back.
Only then did he firmly suppress the pill.
"Damn, with my strength I nearly failed to subdue it."
"If this was a top-tier super-grade Blood Beast Elixir, I’d probably be injured."
Xu Yang inwardly clicked his tongue; his hand trembled as if struck by a heavy blow, aching dreadfully.
A fourth-tier, top-rate super-grade Blood Beast Elixir absolutely packed more punch than a Star Soul Elixir!
"When conditions allow, if I’m refining powerful super-grade pills, I’ll need a strong cultivator guarding me."
If a super-grade pill escaped the instant it was made, after all that trouble, he’d have nowhere to cry.
Once the pill patterns and auras gradually subsided, Xu Yang opened his palm, looking at the super-grade Star Soul Elixir, eyes blazing with fervor.
Without hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.
Boom!
The energy that was originally gentle, due to its super-grade nature, brought a tremendous shock.
The intensity was several times that of the top-grade!
In an instant, Xu Yang’s face twisted in agony, his head felt like it was being split in two!
The shock tore at his soul.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, keeping his mind intact.
Just one super-grade, and it took him until the next morning to absorb it all.
His mind was refreshed, his spiritual power growth brought even sharper senses.
Even minor stirrings outside the courtyard he could perceive with absolute clarity!
"Such an upgrade is equal to a dozen top-grade pills. No wonder it’s a super-grade!"
"Most crucial is the tempering effect super-grade provides during spiritual power growth—no number of top-grade pills can compare!"
With super-grade, not only could he boost his spiritual power, but the process also made his spiritual power far more resilient.
After the initial surprise, Xu Yang couldn’t wait to start refining again.
As for the pills Kunwu Division needed?
That could wait!
Time slipped by quietly.
Xu Yang rarely left the house.
Ceaseless alchemy, and his cultivation soared day by day.
In nearly half a month, he was about to reach the peak of mid-stage True Void!
His spiritual power fully transformed into substance!
He’d saved four super-grade Star Soul Elixirs, to restore his spiritual power at critical moments.
Another gain was the Lock God Seal, which came to him naturally.
Though not yet truly masterful, against an unprepared foe, it could be devastating.
In battle—the Spirit Lock Seal and Lock God Seal could be unleashed together!
Plus his impressive stock of top-grade and super-grade pills, as well as the divine cauldron’s essence for replenishment.
He was virtually invincible!
Against foes below Yin Realm, Xu Yang couldn’t even imagine how he could lose.
Even Yin Realm fighters might not be able to keep him!
The Barbarian Race—just the challenge he needed!
At this moment, he actually felt grateful to the Desolate Fortress’s second general.
If that guy hadn’t tried to kill him midway, he’d never have fled to hide at Kunwu Division!
By now, that "marriage into the family" didn’t affect him at all.
If he’d ended up at the Tuoba Clan, things wouldn’t be so nice.
"All this time with no sign—Tuoba Clan probably thinks I’m dead." Xu Yang smiled slightly; this was the best outcome.
The Barbaric Mountain Range stretched endlessly, danger everywhere; even if they didn’t see him as useless, even if they knew he was strong, since no one had seen him, odds were they’d think he’d already died somewhere, eaten by a spirit beast.
Pa!
A faint sound suddenly drifted into the room.
Xu Yang’s brow went up; he got up and opened the door.
It was already late at night outside.
Wuo Ling lived in the small courtyard next door.
Xu Yang glanced sideways, his pupils contracted—a paper tube had somehow appeared on the ground!
"Didn’t alarm Wuo Ling, and there’s no commotion in the whole manor... Could it be?"
Xu Yang felt a jolt all over; suspicion flashed through his mind as he snatched up the tube and opened it, both delighted and tense.
Zhao Mushen!
It was Zhao Mushen who had dropped the paper tube.
Inside, it instructed him to meet beneath the grove on the southern edge of the manor.
Nearly a month had passed; in his quest for a spiritual power breakthrough and super-grade refining, Xu Yang had nearly forgotten about this.
At last—the moment was here!
"Even in the heart of Kunwu Division, with Zhao Mushen’s power, if he really wanted me dead, he could likely pull it off!"
Xu Yang didn’t rush out; after careful consideration, he quietly summoned the dog.
With his solidified spiritual power, he could now communicate with the dog via mind.
After setting up a contingency, Xu Yang silently left the courtyard, heading for the southern grove.
The yard was not far from the grove; there were few guards here.
A few dozen breaths later.
Without alerting a soul in the manor, Xu Yang arrived at the edge of the grove.
He glanced to the side; at the rear of the woods, near the wall, he saw a faint, shadowy figure.
Judging by the outline—it was Zhao Mushen!
Xu Yang reached up, touched the mark of the dog on his wrist, took a deep breath, and quietly walked over.
