Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 86: Monsters of the Red Sand Blood Desert
"That’s... Helan Huaning!"
"Why is she making a move?"
"Does she have a grudge with Xu Yang?"
The crowd was at a loss, but the atmosphere instantly boiled over.
Because Helan Huaning’s cultivation was at the Middle Stage of Yin Realm!
In their eyes, a Middle Stage Yin Realm Martial Artist against one at True Void Realm—shouldn’t that be child’s play?
Surihan’s weird admission of defeat left everyone confused, and now that someone else was about to teach Xu Yang a lesson, it was exactly what they’d been hoping for!
Normally, no one would dare to intervene, but Helan Huaning’s status made her different.
Tuoba Hongyu frowned slightly at Helan Huaning’s move—completely unexpected.
However, she didn’t intervene either!
"Who are you?"
Xu Yang looked at Helan Huaning with shock and suspicion!
This Barbarian woman was actually pretty good-looking.
What puzzled him was the intense hatred and killer intent she released!
He hadn’t offended this strange woman at all.
"My name is Helan Huaning!"
"My father is Helan Ying!"
Helan Huaning walked toward Xu Yang step by step, her murderous intent on full display.
"Helan Ying’s daughter?"
Xu Yang suddenly understood.
No need to guess where all that malice came from.
"You’re not my match!"
Xu Yang shook his head indifferently.
Just a Middle Stage Yin Realm—he couldn’t even be bothered to fight!
"Arrogant!"
Helan Huaning flew into a rage; she stomped the ground and leapt into the air.
"You useless son-in-law, go to hell!"
The crowd upstairs grew excited.
"Good!"
"Miss Huaning is incredible—kill him!"
"Let’s show him how strong our Barbarian Race is!"
Amid the cheers, Helan Huaning struck with fury, shattering the air within dozens of meters—hard to imagine such power from a graceful woman!
"Your Barbarian Race isn’t all that impressive!"
Xu Yang sneered coldly, punching out.
Dealing with Helan Huaning, he didn’t even need the Demon Dragon Saber!
Boom!
One punch, nine echoes, thunderous blasts!
This martial art, which was nothing special nowadays, revealed unparalleled ferocity in Xu Yang’s hands—like landslides and tidal waves, sweeping away everything before him!
Bam!
"Ahhh~~"
Helan Huaning screamed in agony and crashed down under a tall building, blood and bits of organ gushing from her mouth.
She clutched her arm, convulsing in pain on the ground, her mind blank, nearly passing out!
The cheers stopped abruptly.
Every Barbarian looked like a duck with its throat squeezed tight, faces frozen!
Xu Yang retracted his fist and stood quietly, giving the crowd a mocking smile before turning to leave.
"How is this possible?"
As Xu Yang walked away, murmurs of shock rose and turned into a crashing wave.
...
The Red Sand Blood Desert’s quota secured—no pressure at all!
Xu Yang left the Blood War Tower, following Tuoba Hongyu into a simple, ancient manor at the heart of the royal court.
The manor was heavily guarded outside!
Upon entering, Xu Yang felt the stares of hidden eyes on him, causing chills to rise up his spine!
Clearly, the secret guards’ strength here was no joke!
"This is where all the Alchemists of the royal court reside. All pills are refined here. From now on, you can choose any place in here to live."
Tuoba Hongyu introduced him gently.
After all the tests, she’d fully accepted Xu Yang as one of her own.
"Did you find the spirit elixirs?" Xu Yang asked carelessly.
"We’ve found two kinds. The rest will take time, but it’s not a problem!"
Xu Yang looked delighted.
The Barbarian Race was indeed much better at tracking such things down.
With that settled, Xu Yang asked, "What’s my mission?"
"A pill even more precious and difficult to refine than Blood Beast Elixir!"
Tuoba Hongyu’s words made Xu Yang’s heart tremble.
Greater than Blood Beast Elixir?
The Barbarians were hiding that much power?
According to Gu Jun’s experiences, Blood Beast Elixir was already top-tier; once quality improved, its potency was astounding—even in Daqian, it’d cause huge waves!
Tuoba Hongyu seemed to sense Xu Yang’s shock; she smiled, lips pursed, and said calmly, "The refining materials come from the Red Sand Blood Desert you wish to go to!"
This pill was currently the Barbarian Race’s most important task!
It was vital for their rise—critical for opposing Daqian!
That’s why she was so cautious!
With puzzlement and curiosity, Xu Yang followed Tuoba Hongyu into a hall.
Inside was a middle-aged man, rather thin and frail in appearance.
"Chu Yu greets Your Highness!"
"A Human?"
Xu Yang was mildly shocked—he never expected to see a person from Daqian here.
The man seemed to be an Alchemist too.
"He’s one of Daqian’s Fourth-Tier Alchemists—Chu Yu."
Tuoba Hongyu gave Xu Yang a brief introduction, then glanced at Chu Yu: "Show him the refining process for Jiang Dan."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Chu Yu glanced at Xu Yang curiously but didn’t dare to ask anything. He accepted the order respectfully and sat cross-legged in the hall.
Xu Yang’s gaze swept through the place.
The temperature was scorching—intense heat radiated from a gap on the floor in front of Chu Yu.
He could tell at a glance: this gap was connected to Earth Vein Spirit Fire!
Alchemists, once powerful enough, could cultivate their own flames.
Before reaching that stage, pill refinement relied on using various external Spirit Fires!
Much more convenient!
Chu Yu summoned a pill cauldron and placed it over the gap, then with a flick of his sleeve, produced an odd corpse beside him.
Xu Yang’s pupils shrank.
This creature was entirely crimson-yellow, with skin like compacted sand, resembling a massive insect beast—its form deeply unsettling!
The aura it gave off was even fiercer.
"This is a killer insect unique to the Red Sand Blood Desert, filled with immense energy inside."
"Also the sole ingredient for Jiang Dan refinement!"
After that, Tuoba Hongyu didn’t say more.
Chu Yu began the process; his expression was grave, on high alert—it was obviously no easy task.
Xu Yang watched attentively, pondering.
Jiang Dan?
Only the corpse was needed, no other ingredients—by experience, such pills were merely pure energy.
What were the Barbarians planning to do with them?
He was very curious, and sensed this was no simple matter.
But Tuoba Hongyu clearly didn’t plan to tell him.
The killer insect’s corpse was dropped into the cauldron; Spirit Fire surged and slowly melted it!
During that time, Chu Yu’s Spiritual Power enveloped the cauldron, both hands forming seals and sending them inside without pause.
The process was clearly familiar—he’d refined this pill many times!
About a quarter hour passed.
With the final Seal Skill sent in, a burst of violent crimson energy erupted from the cauldron.
A crimson pill appeared before everyone’s eyes.
No pill fragrance; the aura was even unpleasant!
Xu Yang couldn’t help but frown.
"What’s the pill’s effect?"
Tuoba Hongyu glanced at Xu Yang and said coolly, "You don’t need to know."
"Your Highness."
Chu Yu stood, face pale from exhaustion.
He respectfully handed the pill to Tuoba Hongyu.
No pill pattern—not a high-grade pill!
One corpse, only one pill!
"Take a look."
Tuoba Hongyu handed the pill to Xu Yang, saying slowly: "When Chu Yu first arrived, he could easily refine many Fourth-Tier pills; but he failed more than ten times at this one before succeeding."
"Moreover, with his Late Stage Yin Realm cultivation, every attempt is greatly consuming. Even at full strength, he can only refine about six pills a day, and if his condition isn’t good, he’ll fail even then!"
"Can you do it?"
She turned slightly, her gaze blazing, staring right at Xu Yang.
Hearing this, Chu Yu’s eyes went wide with disbelief as he looked at Xu Yang.
"He’s an Alchemist?"
"Fourth-Tier?"
He nearly lost his composure.
