"Master Xiao, this is the mission from the Lingyuan Sect."
"Huh? Shouldn't they have given us a complete Pill Formula? Why is it just a fragment?"
A fragmented formula was an incomplete Pill Formula, utterly useless until restored.
"Sigh. This time is different."
The old man sighed and explained, "I hear that during Magical Combat on the front lines, the Lingyuan Sect's disciples have suffered greatly."
"The Qi Refining Stage disciples, in particular, have taken devastating losses. The casualty gap between the two sides is immense."
"According to the Lingyuan Sect's investigation, it's because the Divine Fire Sect disciples have all been taking large quantities of an Elixir called the Iron Bone Pill."
"Many Demon Dao Qi Refining Cultivators have used it to survive the aftershocks of clashes between Foundation Establishment Cultivators."
The Iron Bone Pill?
Xiao Chen found the name familiar, as if he had seen the Pill Formula somewhere before.
