Chapter 315 Ninth Grade Pill
Listen, is this even human language?
The ninth rank, anywhere in the Qingtian World, even in Central China, is a character standing at the top of the pyramid.
In the Alchemist Alliance, he is a big shot who sits firmly at the top of the pyramid, but here with Master, he is just an entry-level person. Master's background is really unimaginable.
Yao Xuan asked: "Master, are there any more ranks above the ninth rank?"
It's embarrassing to say, although Yao Xuan was an eighth-rank alchemist before, and he also lived in Central China, but he achieved this eighth-rank purely because of his talent, which was entirely due to his amazing talent in alchemy and his amazing comprehension.
He didn't have any particularly good teachers. Before joining the Alchemist Alliance, he had always been a self-employed pharmacist. He was also extremely solitary and had few good friends.
Even though Yao Xuan held a position in the Alchemist Alliance during his lifetime, he was not a core member and was just there for security.
The Alchemist Alliance has a strict hierarchy. Unless they have connections, not many resources will be given to alchemists who don't have a strong sense of belonging.
Therefore, Yao Xuan’s previous channels for obtaining information were very narrow. He was one of the pharmacists with very little resource information, and he knew even less about those above the ninth rank because that involved the fairy world.
Only the core members and senior leaders of the Alchemist Alliance know more information.
This resulted in Yao Xuan only knowing some roads leading to the ninth grade, but he didn't know whether there was a road above the ninth grade or where the road was.
He originally planned to break through the ninth rank and then move closer to the core members of the Alchemist Alliance and learn more about the Alchemist Alliance, but he was killed by Han Feng before he could break through the ninth rank.
Now he asked Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan said: "Of course, the ninth-grade pills refined by the ninth-grade alchemist can only be taken by Mahayana cultivators at most. If you are above the Mahayana stage, taking the ninth-grade pills will have no effect.
In the True Immortal Realm above the Nine Heavens, there are countless Heavenly, Mysterious, and Golden Immortals. All immortals cannot be separated from the assistance of elixirs. What kind of elixirs do those immortals swallow on a daily basis? They must be above the ninth grade!"
Yao Xuan nodded.
That makes sense.
"Then may I ask, Master, how are the ranks of alchemists above the ninth rank divided? Could it be the tenth or eleventh rank?"
Lu Yuan: "You guessed right, that's exactly it."
Yao Xuan: “…”
He thought it would have a more impressive name, but he didn't expect it to be so simple, just numbers piled up.
Lu Yuan said that cultivating immortals is like this, sometimes it is just so plain and simple.
Listening to his master's brief description of the fairyland and the high-level alchemists above the nine heavens, Yao Xuan couldn't help but yearn for it.
He was not interested in anything else in his life. Women, power, and status were like floating clouds in front of him. His only interest was to make elixirs and reach the peak of alchemy.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to immerse himself in it and break through to the eighth-grade alchemist by relying solely on his own efforts and natural understanding without a master.
He used to think that the ninth grade was the pinnacle, but now he knows that it is just the beginning. This instantly aroused Yao Xuan's stronger interest in the art of alchemy. He really wanted to see what the pinnacle of alchemy was like and how a true high-level alchemist actually made pills.
Lu Yuan saw Yao Xuan's enthusiasm for the way of alchemy, and he said: "Everything that your master asks you to do now is to lay the foundation for you. You must know that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Follow your master's steps, and one day I will lead you to the immortal world and teach you the supreme way of alchemy."
Lu Yuan was promising Yao Xuan something, and Yao Xuan knew that his master was promising him something, but the problem was that the promise seemed too good to be true, and he simply couldn't resist not eating it.
Yao Xuan comforted himself that what you can't eat is called a pie in the sky, but the future is promising. How can what you can eat with a chance be called a pie in the sky? That's called the group's prospects!
"The pill is almost done!" Lu Yuan said at this time, noticing the situation inside the pill furnace.
This ninth-grade Hunyuan Yiqi Dragon and Phoenix Pill has reached the final stage and is about to take shape.
At this moment, above the Daluo Sect, a terrifying thunderstorm was roaring towards them. Large patches of black thunder clouds were stacked one on top of another, and a huge pressure enveloped the Daluo Mountain.
The thunder tribulation caused by the ninth-grade elixir was so huge that it even covered most of the ancient country of Daqian.
The royal family of the ancient country of Daqian, the Daqian emperor and the royal ancestors also sensed the breath of the ninth level thunder tribulation and came out to watch.
The Great Qian Ancestor could not help but feel palpitations: "What a terrifying thunder tribulation. Who is going through it? How could it cause such a large-scale disaster? Could it be a powerful person going through it? But the number of powerful people going through it in Beizhou can be counted on one's fingers. How could he be in my Great Qian territory?"
Patriarch Daqian and Emperor Qian were unable to tell what kind of thunder tribulation this was for a moment, and thought it was a thunder tribulation caused by a strong person breaking through the realm. They were shocked, because they had never seen such a large-scale thunder tribulation in their lives, covering most of the ancient country. It was probably the tribulation period.
But just a moment later, as Lu Yuan opened the lid of the alchemy furnace in Daluo Mountain, the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes crying from ancient times spread in all directions, and a golden dragon and colorful phoenix actually rose into the sky from the alchemy furnace and flew away.
As the dragon and phoenix appeared, the horrifying fragrance of the elixir spread throughout Daqian, and even outside Daqian, the fragrance could be smelled.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
A golden dragon and a colorful phoenix appeared, illuminating the nine heavens. The entire thunder tribulation above Daqian was dyed with a layer of nine-colored light.
The fragrance of heaven permeates the Great Dry! "This is the ninth-grade elixir! It is much stronger than the eighth-grade elixir, and is not even on the same level at all."
Yao Xuan had refined many eighth-grade elixirs in his life. He always thought that ninth-grade elixirs would not be much stronger than eighth-grade elixirs. At most, they were just enhanced versions of eighth-grade elixirs.
But today, after witnessing everything and seeing the real ninth-grade elixir being made, he realized the real difference between the ninth-grade elixir and the eighth-grade elixir. The difference was as big as the difference between heaven and earth! In the past, he relied on himself to comprehend the way of elixir, which was ultimately a closed-door process. Today, he learned a lot from watching his master refine the ninth-grade elixir.
Looking at the ninth-grade elixir with a terrifying medicinal fragrance filling the sky, Yao Xuan felt extremely excited and shocked.
"One day, I will be able to refine ninth-grade elixirs myself! I will be promoted to ninth-grade!"
Yao Xuan was not just talking, but after witnessing the whole process today, he had a new realization. The threshold of the ninth grade that he could not touch before, but today he witnessed the ninth grade elixir being produced with his own eyes and felt the aura of the ninth grade Xuan Dan. He seemed to have touched a path leading to the ninth grade.
Although his current cultivation level is not high enough to advance to the ninth rank, if he can really open up the path to the ninth rank, then the only difference between him and the true ninth rank is his cultivation level.
When you reach a higher realm in the future, you can directly enter the ninth grade! After Yao Xuan's ecstasy, a solemn look immediately appeared on his face, because the thunder tribulation was still hanging over his head. He had to survive the thunder tribulation to get the real ninth grade Xuandan.
At this moment, the thunder tribulation of the ninth-grade Xuandan has begun.
Countless heavenly thunders sensed the existence of the ninth-grade elixir and brought down their anger. The heavenly thunders washed over the ninth-grade profound elixir. The golden dragon and colorful phoenix let out bursts of mournful cries, unable to withstand the power of the thunder.
