Chapter 243: The Pill Formula for Pure Nascent Transformation Pills in the Flame Pill Palace
After hearing Yang Qiye's words, Ye Yan's emotions finally calmed down.
Yang Qiye was right.
If even he, Ye Yan, couldn't gain the old flood dragon's trust, and if none of the numerous Soul Transformation cultivators in the Jade Cauldron Sect could manage it, how could Shen Mo, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, possibly succeed?
If Ye Yan couldn't obtain the old flood dragon's support, it was better that no one else could either.
"Ye Yan, don't concern yourself with Shen Mo. He's like the light of a firefly, while you are the radiant sun and moon."
"Even if he suppresses you temporarily, so what? In the end, you will be the one who has the last laugh."
"You possess the Solar Molten Fire Physique, a top-tier heavenly constitution. Your future is limitless!"
Seeing Ye Yan's expression finally ease, Yang Qiye continued to comfort him.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master," Ye Yan replied calmly, cupping his hands.
Yang Qiye nodded in satisfaction. "Focus on cultivating for now. Break through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible. I'll arrange a few commissions for you. With them, you should be able to ascend to the position of Three-Cauldrons Elder within two years."
"By then, you'll have the qualifications to visit the Flame Pill Palace."
Ye Yan nodded solemnly, feeling a surge of anticipation.
The Flame Pill Palace was one of the three restricted areas controlled by the Jade Cauldron Sect.
In the past, it had been a sacred site for alchemy under the Nine-Turn Pill Sect. The area was rich in geothermal fire and extremely high in temperature.
At its peak, eighteen geothermal furnaces operated there simultaneously, producing countless extraordinary pills.
And the Nine-Turn Pill Sect hadn't stopped with just this one location—they had possessed five such sacred sites.
But during the coalition war led by the Supreme Purity Sect, the Jade Cauldron Sect, and the Pill River Sect to destroy the Nine-Turn Pill Sect, decades of conflict had reduced three of these sites to ruins.
Of the two remaining, one fell to the Pill River Sect, and the other—the Flame Pill Palace—came under the Jade Cauldron Sect's control.
Scattered throughout the Flame Pill Palace were numerous ancient pill formulas, some intact, others fragmented.
In certain hidden areas, millennia-old earth-grade pills were still believed to be stored.
All of it depended on one's luck and effort to uncover.
Even a fragment of a pill formula, once submitted to the sect, could earn enormous contributions.
Yang Qiye sighed. "It's said that the Flame Pill Palace contains the formula for the Pure Nascent Transformation Pill. Unfortunately, since our sect took over the palace, we've searched everywhere without success."
"The palace opens once every ten years, and this time, it's the turn of the Third and Seventh Elders to enter for alchemy purposes."
"The Seventh Elder is my man. When the time comes, he'll lend you a helping hand."
"Ye Yan, your destiny is extraordinary. Perhaps you'll be the one to discover the Pure Nascent Transformation Pill's formula!"
Ye Yan nodded deeply.
A single Pure Nascent Transformation Pill had the potency of ten Great Nascent Transformation Pills or a hundred ordinary Nascent Transformation Pills.
If he could obtain the formula, it would be a monumental contribution to the Jade Cauldron Sect.
Such an achievement might elevate him directly to the rank of Four-Cauldrons Elder!
"Master, I also heard a rumor," Ye Yan suddenly said. "They say there's a Taiyi Sacred Essence Pill hidden in the Flame Pill Palace."
Yang Qiye scoffed. "A single Taiyi Sacred Essence Pill can elevate a heavenly-grade constitution to the higher saint-grade. Its value is unimaginable."
"Even during the Nine-Turn Pill Sect's prime, it was a top-secret treasure of the sect. Why would it be stored in the Flame Pill Palace?"
"That's just a false rumor spread by the remnants of the Nine-Turn Pill Sect to provoke the Supreme Purity Sect, the Pill River Sect, and the State Governor's Mansion into targeting us."
"Don't let such nonsense distract you. Finding the Pure Nascent Transformation Pill's formula alone would etch your name into the history of the Jade Cauldron Sect."
"From that day forward, every disciple of the Jade Cauldron Sect would sing your praises!"
A vivid image formed in Ye Yan's mind: himself standing above the clouds, with countless Jade Cauldron Sect disciples kneeling below, their voices echoing in reverence.
That pinnacle of glory was enough to intoxicate anyone.
Yang Qiye smiled and added, "As for the rumor about a Taiyi Sacred Essence Pill in the Flame Pill Palace, treat it as nothing more than idle chatter."
"The last known Taiyi Sacred Essence Pill was taken by the royal family of Jing Kingdom when the Nine-Turn Pill Sect was destroyed."
Ye Yan cupped his hands in acknowledgment. "You're right, Master. I shouldn't let my thoughts run wild."
Yang Qiye chuckled. "Good. By the way, I have something to give you."
As He Spoke, Yang Qiye Retrieved Ten Gray Beads
Yang Qiye took out ten gray beads from his storage ring. They were Yin Fiend Pearls.
The Yin Fiend energy within them was exceptionally pure and dense, clearly not of ordinary quality but the finest grade of Yin Fiend Pearls.
Ye Yan was slightly startled. "These are…"
Yang Qiye smiled. "If I'm not mistaken, you've reached the level of a purple pill crown. You're only one step away from achieving a golden pill crown."
"These Yin Fiend Pearls were exchanged with the Seventh Elder for a bottle of Spirit Refinement Pills."
"As your master, it is my duty to pay attention to your cultivation."
"These are for you."
Ye Yan nodded solemnly. "Thank you, Master. I will begin my training immediately and will not let you down!"
"Go ahead, go ahead," Yang Qiye replied with a smile.
One Month Later, Dragon Snake Mountain
In the expansive wilderness of Dragon Snake Mountain, the terrain was barren. Not a single blade of grass grew nearby, and even intact rocks were few and far between.
At the center of this desolate expanse stood two figures.
One was a young man clad in green robes, his appearance youthful and calm. The other was a rugged middle-aged man wearing a loose elder's robe, giving him the air of a rustic farmer.
The two were engaged in an intense sparring session, one attacking and the other defending, honing their martial skills.
For miles around, no vegetation grew. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't because the land was unsuitable for plants but because no living thing could withstand the destructive energy radiating from the duo's battle. Growing there would be tantamount to courting death.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A massive spear wreathed in violet lightning descended from the sky, directly engulfing the young figure in a storm of dust and debris.
The ground shook, and smoke billowed into the air.
Yet in the next moment, a fierce wind arose.
A majestic and imposing giant cauldron appeared out of nowhere, materializing to block the carefully prepared attack.
The young figure staggered back more than ten steps before finally stabilizing himself.
"Well done, Junior Brother! Most people wouldn't have been able to withstand that move. I'm impressed you managed to block it," the rugged middle-aged man said, laughing heartily.
The young man smiled but said nothing.
These two were Shen Mo and Lu Dongxuan.
Recently, Lu Dongxuan had been frequenting Dragon Snake Mountain, and every time he came, the two would engage in fierce battles.
Although Shen Mo's cultivation level was slightly lower than Lu Dongxuan's, in actual combat, he was no weaker. On multiple occasions, his performance had left Lu Dongxuan astounded.
Especially this time—Shen Mo had previously been unable to block such an attack. However, after advancing his mastery of the Immovable Dragon King Cauldron to the third level, he now managed to block it with ease.
"Tsk tsk, this martial technique was well worth the 50 C-level contributions I spent to exchange for it. A top-tier earth-grade technique indeed!" Lu Dongxuan said with a thumbs-up, clearly delighted.
Shen Mo nodded with a smile. "Indeed. The Immovable Dragon King Cauldron surpasses all the defensive techniques I've used so far."
As his cultivation progressed and his strength grew, his lower-tier earth-grade defensive technique, Four-Sided Mysterious Gate, was gradually becoming less effective in battles.
The higher-tier earth-grade defensive technique, Evergreen Body Shield, was still usable but starting to show its limits.
Now, with the Immovable Dragon King Cauldron, his defensive capabilities had taken a massive leap forward.
"It's time, Junior Brother! I'm off to drink!" Lu Dongxuan said suddenly, snapping his fingers as if remembering something. Without further delay, he rose into the air and flew westward with haste.
