Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 644 - 621 Soul Consolidating Pill (1/3)

No one expected that the previous battle, so closely fought, would end so abruptly!

To slay three emperors with a single sword, how outrageously powerful!

The three were not just ordinary Moonlight Emperors but surpassed the limit, known as Ten Wheels Moonlight Emperors with the reputation of geniuses! Moreover, killing these four would not only enrage the powers behind them but also provoke the even more formidable entities behind them.

This young man really doesn’t consider the consequences, he may have killed them in a satisfying manner, but he has also brought huge trouble upon himself.

Who is Cold Frost Young Master? He is a true genius, unbeatable even among the Sunshine Kings, with a considerable reputation throughout the entire Forty-Nine Immortal City. It is said that he has even been praised by a Creation King!

Since Zhou Heng killed his followers, once he arrives, he will surely annihilate Zhou Heng! That is an absolutely dominant Sunshine King who is rumored to have even rebelled against the Sunshine Sovereign!

Zhou Heng scanned the crowd with an indifferent gaze, he disliked causing trouble, but he was never afraid of it.

As his gaze passed over them, everyone involuntarily lowered their heads; here stood a Martial King, whose pressure emitted made it impossible for them to meet his eyes.

"Let’s go back,"

Zhou Heng, together with Lian Jingxiang and Black Donkey, returned to the Lian Family’s star ship. The Immortal Realm was always rife with deadly feuds, although this time it resulted in the death of four geniuses, they were just at the level of Moonlight Emperor geniuses, how much turmoil could it really cause?

Indeed, Lian Youhao, learning that Zhou Heng was a Ten Wheels Moonlight Emperor, sent him some gifts as a token to elevate his treatment a notch, but did not visit him in person. After all, one was a Sunshine King, how could he condescend?

Zhou Heng shook his head secretly, to recruit talent one must demonstrate the appropriate attitude, how can one expect to attract true geniuses by setting such a high bar?

Geniuses have their pride!

Anyway, he had no intention of affiliating himself with the Lian Family, and naturally, he didn’t take Lian Youhao’s attitude to heart.

Seizing this opportunity, many forces were striving to make a grand fortune, which naturally included the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion. After finding out where their star ship was located, Zhou Heng paid a visit and bought many materials, especially the main ingredient needed for crafting the Golden Yuan Pill.

Back on the Lian Family’s star ship, Zhou Heng immediately put the Fire Divine Furnace to work on alchemy, crafting not only Golden Yuan Pills but also many Revitalizing Pills.

He needed to continue studying the Runes in the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, and it was inevitable that he would sustain injuries; Revitalizing Pills could heal his wounds without depleting his own Essence Blood.

A few days later, he advanced the combination of Runes to twenty-seven pieces, but this was his current limit. Continuing further would directly lead to his death, a situation no Revitalizing Pill could remedy.

Because this adventure involved supreme Immortal Techniques, it attracted a host of peerless Experts, and the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s star ship also had a wealth of precious materials for sale. According to the people from the Pavilion, there would be an auction in half a month with real treasures on offer!

The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion provided an introduction to some of the auction items in advance to the arriving star ships. However, this auction wasn’t something one could attend if they wished; one either needed to prepay a large deposit—twenty thousand Upper Grade Immortal Stones—or offer an item of equal or even higher value to qualify for entry.

Zhou Heng was extremely interested, but after checking his Space Artifact his face fell; he definitely didn’t have enough Immortal Stones, and as for an item of equal value?

It wasn’t that he didn’t have any; whether it be the Black Sword, Hundred Ghosts Sword, or the Fire Divine Furnace, they were treasures beyond the measure of Immortal Stones, but how could he possibly sell any of these?

So, he had to make money first!

Zhou Heng asked the Fire Divine Furnace, "Is there any pill that is highly valuable to Sublimation Realm Experts?"

"Of course there is!" replied the Fire Divine Furnace promptly, "But, I smelt around in that cabin, and the materials are quite limited. At most, we can craft three types of pills for the Sublimation Realm, and the most valuable would undoubtedly be the Soul Consolidating Pill!"

"What’s the use of the Soul Consolidating Pill?" Zhou Heng never feigned knowledge.

"Sublimation Realm Martial Artists cultivate their Dharma Aspects, sublime themselves, and thus create worlds. However, the saying goes that the aspect reflects the heart, which is easily influenced by inner demons, leading to the risk of complete collapse, obliterating years of Cultivation! The Soul Consolidating Pill can stabilize the Dharma Aspect and strengthen resistance to inner demons. It’s one of the most useful pills for Sublimation Realm Martial Artists!" After racking its brain, the Fire Divine Furnace gave such an explanation.

Zhou Heng nodded. He was still two Great Realms away from the Sublimation Realm. What he needed to consider now was to quickly accumulate the progress for the Twenty-One Wheels Moon and break through to Sunshine King!

Once he became a Sunshine King, he would be qualified to compete in the Ancestral Mansion!

"What materials are needed?"

After the Fire Divine Furnace listed the materials, Zhou Heng promptly went shopping, but he grimaced upon hearing their prices.

He had accumulated almost a million Lower Grade Immortal Stones in wealth before, but that was only enough to buy the materials for three Soul Consolidating Pills! Considering that it was a Seventh Grade pill, the Pill Success Rate was usually only twenty percent, and there was an even higher chance that all materials would be wasted if handled by an ordinary Seven Stars Pharmacist.

This calculation showed just how expensive the materials for Seventh Grade Pills were.

——A million Lower Grade Immortal Stones were worth at least ten thousand Upper Grade Immortal Stones after all, though few would be willing to trade Upper Grade for Lower Grade Immortal Stones.

Luckily, the Fire Divine Furnace wasn’t just any Pharmacist, but an existence akin to a Medicine Venerate!

Zhou Heng brought back the materials and quickly received three Soul Consolidating Pills, but because the materials were too few, there wasn’t an extra pill crafted this time.

"Stove, when selling pills in the future, make them a bit lower quality. Don’t always scare people by producing Top Grade ones!" Zhou Heng weighed the Soul Consolidating Pill in his hand. Without a doubt, it was of Top Grade quality.

"Pah, I only know how to craft Top Grade pills. If you dislike it, then don’t rely on me! Also, when are you going to get the Exotic Fire you owe me?" the Fire Divine Furnace complained discontentedly.

"Alright, alright, top grade it is!" Zhou Heng was truly afraid that the old gentleman would refuse.

He took the Soul Consolidating Pill to the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s starship, saying he had pills to add to the auction. Quickly, a middle-aged man wearing a Pharmacist badge approached and turned out to be a Three Stars Pharmacist!

But on this starship, a Three Stars Pharmacist was clearly not much, and the middle-aged man’s attitude was very amiable as he said, "Friend, what kind of pill do you want to auction?"

"Soul Consolidating Pill!" Zhou Heng took out a pill bottle with the three freshly concocted pills inside.

"What, Soul Consolidating Pill?" The pharmacist jumped in surprise, his voice trembling, "Really? But that’s a Seventh Grade pill!"

A Seventh Grade pill, he could appraise, but to concoct one was something he probably couldn’t hope for in this lifetime.

Alchemy requires talent, and his limit might be that of a Four Stars Pharmacist, no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain.

He hurriedly took the pill bottle, carefully uncorking it to take a sniff, and immediately displayed a shocked expression.

Soul Consolidating Pill, it really was a Soul Consolidating Pill!

He would never be able to concoct a Seventh Grade pill in his lifetime, but that did not hinder his enthusiasm for high-tier pills; the aroma was something he could never tire of!

Pouring out one Soul Consolidating Pill, he closely examined and smelled it, judging the quality of the pill.

"Top, top grade!" After a while, his voice shook.

The lower the rank of a pill, the easier it is to concoct, and the higher the chance of producing a top-grade product. But as the rank increases, the difficulty of concoction also goes up, and the possibility of getting a top-grade pill becomes increasingly rare.

For instance, with Tenth Grade pills, forget top grade; it would be incredibly lucky just to succeed in concocting!

Of course, Seventh Grade pills can’t be compared with Tenth Grade pills, but concocting a top-grade one is still exceedingly difficult, almost miraculous!

"All three are top grade!" After inspecting each of the three Soul Consolidating Pills, the pharmacist’s expression could only be described as indescribably rich. A Seventh Grade pill typically had at most a twenty percent success rate, and to get three top-grade ones, he would have to concoct how many batches!

"Qualified for the auction, am I not?" Zhou Heng said with a smile.

"Yes! Yes! Absolutely!" The pharmacist nodded continuously, joking aside. A Seventh Grade pill would definitely qualify for this auction, let alone ones of top-grade quality! As he spoke, his eyes remained glued to the three Soul Consolidating Pills, intoxicated by the delightful pill patterns and refreshing medicinal fragrance.

It took him a long time to realize he had kept Zhou Heng waiting and reluctantly put the three Soul Consolidating Pills back into the pill bottle, as they needed to be sealed and preserved; otherwise, their effectiveness could rapidly diminish.

"I’ll write you a receipt—" The pharmacist then handed Zhou Heng a badge, "This is a VIP card for the auction in half a month, please keep it safe and do not lose it!"

Zhou Heng accepted the badge with satisfaction, smiling. It was heavy in his hand, the material felt like metal and yet somewhat like wood; one side was engraved with the image of an ingot, and the other side bore the words "Heavenly Treasure Pavilion."

After taking the receipt, he left the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s starship and returned to the Lian Family’s starship.

Having nothing better to do, he began to extract the second Minor Rune from the Blood River Heavenly Scripture.

The first Minor Rune he could only form into twenty-seven patterns; continuing any further might just kill him. Since he couldn’t proceed with that rune, he could try another— no need to smash his head against a dead end.

Thanks to his previous experience, it only took him thirteen days to extract the Broken Runes belonging to the second Minor Rune.

He started trying to combine the runes, and after a few injuries, he successfully combined two runes. However, he didn’t realize what they were supposed to do; they seemed to hold no power whatsoever.

What’s going on?

The first Minor Rune was incredibly mighty; with Zhou Heng’s support from the Ten Wheels Moon, he could easily annihilate the Scorpion-tailed Man in both spirit and form. How could the second Minor Rune have no reaction at all?

Hum!

As the two Minor Runes circulated inside him, Zhou Heng immediately sensed a surge of vibrant life force.

He was first taken aback, then revealed a look of great joy.

It wasn’t that the second Minor Rune had no power, but it wasn’t meant for offense; it was for healing!

In terms of value, this second Minor Rune was even more precious!

Although a Martial Artist’s Essence Blood could heal nearly all injuries—provided that the exotic Spiritual Power within the body was expelled, or if the injuries weren’t inflicted by the Great Dao, such as deviations during cultivation, or damage to the Divine Sense, which aren’t within the healing scope of Essence Blood.

But Essence Blood is the foundation of a Martial Artist; using Essence Blood is to consume one’s Cultivation Level, and severe usage can lead to a significant regression in Realm!

However, this Minor Rune naturally possessed healing effects, and it required no consumption of Essence Blood!

Moreover, Zhou Heng sensed that the effect was strong; even now with just two Broken Runes, the effect was potent.

If it were complete, wouldn’t it be able to bring one back from the brink of death with just a drop of blood left? (To be continued.
