Capítulo 152: Consuming the Emperor Pill! Nine-Star Dou Huang!
After obtaining the "Green Serpent Three Flower Eyes" ability multiplied by a hundred, Xiao Ze's power rapidly increased. Over time, he felt an urgent need to refine the Emperor Pill as soon as possible. If he didn't, he would miss the opportunity to consume it. Although it wasn't absolutely necessary to take the Emperor Pill, it was always better to seize any possible advantage. Consuming pills has never been a bad thing, unless one became too impatient and neglected their foundation, which could result in an unstable formation.
Just like in the original story, where Xiao Yan always consciously controlled his advancements when consuming pills, Xiao Ze also paid great attention to building his foundation. He planned to, once reaching the peak of nine-star Dou Huang, spend some time widening the diameter of his Essence Tree to make his foundation stronger. In his current state, he could even defeat a low-level Dou Zong and retreat safely from a mid-level Dou Zong. If he faced a high-level Dou Zong, he would need to use secret techniques and rely on his "Fatal Poisonous Body" multiplied by a hundred, among other hidden cards.
While refining the Emperor Pill, Xiao Ze realized how absurdly difficult the Extreme Yang Pill was. Looking at the newly created Emperor Pill, he commented to himself, "It seems the Emperor Pill isn't that hard to make after all…" Then he smiled bitterly, thinking he might have been so burdened by the difficulty of the Extreme Yang Pill that the Emperor Pill seemed easier in comparison.
Despite successfully refining the Emperor Pill, Xiao Ze didn't rush to consume it. First, he prepared a batch of auxiliary pills for xiao yi xian's cultivation and others. Becoming an alchemist, Xiao Ze understood how beneficial it was to have a dedicated alchemist creating auxiliary pills for one's training. In the original story, Xiao Yan always had Yao Lao providing him with pills for every stage of his training, from the Magical Beasts Mountain Range to the Tagore Desert and the Jia Nan Academy.
Now, xiao yi xian, Qing Lin, and Han Yue also enjoyed that treatment. Xiao Ze, grateful for the benefits he had received from Han Yue, regularly prepared auxiliary pills for the Xiao family's cultivation and informed Xiao Yan of the family's current location.
After all that, Xiao Ze finally consumed the Emperor Pill, intending to advance to nine-star Dou Huang.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was happily returning to the Xiao family to reunite with his family.
"Should I prepare some pills for the Xiao family? I'm also an alchemist now," said Xiao Yan, offering his help. Hearing this, Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Li exchanged surprised looks.
"Yan'er, the Xiao family doesn't need pills now. Didn't Ze'er tell you that he is a high-level alchemist?" replied Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Yan, surprised, could only respond, "Ah?" Yao Lao, equally astonished, also exclaimed, "Ah?"
After an explanation, Xiao Yan took a trembling cup of tea, still processing the information. He had been so absorbed in his own training at the Jia Nan Academy that he hadn't realized Xiao Ze was an alchemist. Yao Lao, with his vast experience, understood the magnitude of the impact on the alchemy world that the existence of an alchemist born from a pill represented.
"Xiao Yan, your fourth brother is incredibly fortunate. Finding a 'Spiritual Transformation Pill' and obtaining an inheritance from an ancient alchemist is something exceptional," commented Yao Lao.
Back in his room, Yao Lao couldn't help but express his amazement. Xiao Yan could only smile bitterly, seeing how Xiao Ze constantly exceeded his expectations.
On the seventh floor of the Qi Refining Tower in Jia Nan, in Xiao Ze's exclusive cultivation room, vast energy flowed within his body, driving his breakthrough. After a long period, his energy finally broke a barrier, and his power drastically increased.
"Done! Nine-star Dou Huang!" exclaimed Xiao Ze. The Emperor Pill had not only elevated his power from eight-star to nine-star Dou Huang but also reinforced his meridians and bones. With his natural talent, the effects were amplified, bringing him to the peak of nine stars, something rare and fortunate.
Content with his progress, Xiao Ze prepared to widen his Essence Tree. He checked the system panel and noticed a substantial amount of feedback from his alchemy. "Xiao Yan must have been training hard. Maybe he lacks fire energy?" murmured Xiao Ze.
Surprised, he noticed a new advancement in his alchemy, with a recipe for a seventh-level pill: the "Resurrection Pill."
