Buzz—
Suddenly, a crisp "buzzing" sound rippled out, echoing throughout the entire volcanic system.
After the Medicine Cauldron buzzed, an exceptionally rich Medicinal Qi suddenly erupted from within it like a volcano. Faintly, one could see that the source of the Medicinal Qi seemed to be a blood-red Elixir, entirely enveloped within transparent flames.
"It's formed! This kid's surprises just keep coming!"
Bai Lie stood up, looking at the blood-red Elixir. A Rank 7 Intermediate Elixir, it would even benefit him if he consumed it.
'I need to build a good relationship with this kid. In the future, he might even surpass Qian Mu, or even Mang Tianchi!' Bai Lie mused, calculating in his mind.
"Hoo~ Hoo~ Refining a Rank 7 Intermediate Elixir is still too strenuous. Hoo~ It might be much easier once my cultivation is higher."
At this moment, Xiao Li's face was pale. Refining a Rank 7 Intermediate Elixir was still too difficult for him.
To prevent himself from fainting, Xiao Li popped a few Qi Cultivation Pills to restore his Dou Qi.
The eruption of Medicinal Qi became increasingly fierce. Attracted by such dense Medicinal Qi, dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky… Boom—
The Pill Lightning drawn by the Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill this time was even more powerful than when he refined the Life Restoration Pill.
Xiao Li might have been confident enough to exchange a few blows with the Pill Lightning brought by the Life Restoration Pill, and blocking a few bolts wouldn't be an issue. But the Pill Lightning summoned by this Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill, Xiao Li couldn't block even one.
"Haha, the Pill Lightning drawn by a Rank 7 Intermediate Elixir! Let this old man see what's different!" Bai Lie stood up, his feet treading upon the Void Realm.
Boom—
The first bolt of Pill Lightning descended at extreme speed. This bolt of Pill Lightning was at least as thick as two arms, striking towards Xiao Li's Medicine Cauldron.
Bai Lie waved his palm, and a giant crimson palm struck out, hitting the Pill Lightning.
Boom—
Crack—
A dull thud instantly sounded as Bai Lie collided with the heavenly lightning, making everyone present's hearts thump violently. Then, the sky seemed to be torn open.
"Haha, not enough, not enough! Come again, come again!"
Bai Lie met the lightning head-on, and resisting the Pill Lightning even caused his Bottleneck to loosen slightly. Perhaps he could gain some insights from it.
The layers of dark clouds in the sky gradually stopped rolling after unleashing the final, most powerful silver lightning bolt. Then, they rapidly thinned out, and beams of light pierced through the dark clouds, transforming into countless specks of light.
The sunlight poured down, quickly dispelling all the gloom from this area.
"Hiss—why is it gone already? This old man was just starting to get a feeling." Bai Lie had just prepared to get serious, but the Pill Lightning was gone, which made him a little displeased.
However, displeasure aside, even if the Pill Lightning had lasted longer, it wouldn't have been of much use, because the Pill Lightning triggered by this Rank 7 Intermediate Elixir was equivalent to that of an Intermediate Dou Zong.
For Bai Lie, a Peak Dou Zong expert, such tempering was not enough. Perhaps only the Pill Lightning triggered by a Rank 7 Advanced Elixir or a Rank 7 Peak Elixir would be useful to him.
Bai Lie resolving the Pill Lightning meant Xiao Li had successfully refined the Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill this time. Xiao Li looked at the dragon-eye-sized blood-colored Elixir in his hand. The Elixir still had residual warmth as it lay in his palm, emitting a rich Medicinal Qi.
The Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill is a pure Yang tonic Elixir, with the best and even stronger effects for those with the Heavenly Yang Body. It is also a top-grade Elixir for fire-attribute Dou Zong and Dou Huang cultivators.
Xiao Li felt that consuming this Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill might increase his cultivation by three to four stars. The only question was whether his body could withstand the Elixir's effects.
Xiao Li finished refining the two Elixirs and then went to Elder Wang's side. At this moment, Elder Wang's condition was already very poor. Xiao Li first put the Life Restoration Pill into Elder Wang's mouth.
The Elixir melted upon entering his mouth, and a powerful Medicinal Power entered Elder Wang's body.
"Mmm~" A weak voice emerged, and Elder Wang slowly opened his eyes: "What happened to me? I remember being ambushed by those poisonous brats from Chu Yun."
"Teacher! You're finally awake! That's great!" Xiao Li said with delight, then fainted completely.
"Li'er!"
"Li!"
After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Li woke up. What greeted his eyes was a pair of green Peaks, blocking the sunlight.
Xiao Li felt something soft and slightly warm behind his head.
"What is this?"
"Ah, Li, you're awake!" The Peaks tilted back, followed by Yun Yun's pretty face.
"Yun'er, what is this?" Xiao Li was a little confused.
"Elder Bai said your Soul Power was overdrawn and you needed to rest for a while," Yun Yun explained.
"How is my teacher?" Xiao Li sat up, then turned his head and realized he had just been resting on Yun Yun's jade leg. Yun Yun's leg still had a slight red mark, which made Xiao Li's ears feel hot.
"Elder Wang is much more lucid, but his physical condition is not good. The Medicinal Power of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill and the residual poison of the Magic Poison Spot are still fighting within his body.
Elder Wang said he is currently at a critical juncture of Nirvana, and he might go back into dormancy at any moment," Yun Yun explained.
"In that case, I'll thank you later, Yun'er. I'll go and cure Teacher first." Xiao Li quickly rushed to Elder Wang's side.
At this moment, Elder Wang's complexion was better, but his aura was still weak. The Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill, Magic Poison Spot, and Life Restoration Pill were all within his body, having reached a certain balance, causing Elder Wang to be unable to advance or retreat.
"Teacher!" Xiao Li said with delight. At least his teacher was awake.
"Li'er, cough cough, thank you. You saved this old man's life." Elder Wang's body was still weak, and he coughed continuously.
"It's nothing. Teacher taught me all my skills. How could a Disciple not act when his Teacher is in danger? Teacher, please take the Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill I refined earlier.
You once told me that you have the Heavenly Yang Body, but your Physique was stripped away. My Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill is specifically for those with the Heavenly Yang Body.
If you take it, it might benefit you." Xiao Li took out the Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill and handed it to Elder Wang.
"Rank 7 Pill! You can already refine Elixirs of this quality? You can surpass your Teacher, and your Teacher is very pleased, but don't waste good things on an old man like me with one foot in the grave. You… Mmm~"
Before Elder Wang could finish speaking, Xiao Li directly stuffed the Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill into Elder Wang's mouth.
"Forgive this Disciple's impudence, Teacher, you talk too much. What do you mean by waste? There's no such thing as waste when a Disciple gives something to his Master. It's just a matter of Lifespan, isn't it? I don't believe you can't Breakthrough to Dou Zong after taking these things.
As long as you Breakthrough to Dou Zong, your problems will be solved. Teacher? Teacher!"
Xiao Li found that Elder Wang had fainted again, and Xiao Li felt like he was going to crack.
A few minutes later, after Bai Lie examined Elder Wang's body, his brows furrowed.
"What kind of situation is this? There are still such symptoms?" Bai Lie said, speechless.
"Elder Bai, don't play riddles. Tell me what's wrong?" Xiao Li said anxiously.
"It's because you, young man, were too hasty. How can your Teacher's body, being so weak, refine this Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill? This Heavenly Sun Blood Dragon Pill entered your Teacher's body and combined with the remaining Medicinal Power of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill.
Your Teacher had no choice but to enter a Nirvana state. This state puts immense pressure on his current body, and his body simply cannot withstand such powerful Medicinal Power."
Bai Lie explained Elder Wang's physical condition.
"Then how can we save Teacher?" Xiao Li said anxiously.
Bai Lie: "One method is to have a Dou Zun expert use his profound Dou Qi to help your Teacher refine the Medicinal Power within his body. This kind of thing is thankless work. Would a Dou Zun help a Dou Huang?
Also, don't think about asking the Dean for help. That old geezer of a Dean won't casually make a move. Unless it's absolutely unavoidable, it's best not to seek him out. If you owe too many favors, you might lose something as a result…"
"Are there any other methods?" Xiao Li's heart was dead.
"Yes! That is, an Alchemist with a specific different fire can inject their different fire into your Teacher's body to help your Teacher refine the Medicinal Power," Bai Lie said.
"Specific different fire? Is the Fallen Heart Flame not good enough?" Xiao Li's transparent flames appeared in his hand.
Bai Lie shook his head: "The Fallen Heart Flame won't work. You know the Fallen Heart Flame is too powerful and could easily harm your Teacher. The specific different fires I'm referring to are the Living Spirit Flame, ranked fifth on the strange fire ranking list, and the Yin Yang Twin Flames, ranked twenty-first on the strange fire ranking list!"
