Soul Emperor Martial God
Chapter 1752: Equal? No, Surpassed
"Incredible, truly incredible."
Gu Lianxing looked at Xiao Yi with unstoppable surprise and admiration in her eyes.
"Such a Supreme Elixir as the Hundred Dao Pill, even the supreme Alchemists in our Heavenly Star Prefecture are not confident in their ability to refine it."
"Even if they could, it would likely take them several days, not counting the time to comprehend the pill recipe."
"If I remember correctly, Young Master Xiao Yi, you’ve only spent a few hours in total, right?"
Xiao Yi smiled without speaking.
"Remarkable." Gu Lianxing couldn’t think of any words to describe Xiao Yi.
"No wonder you are a person of equal fame with Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao."
"A few days ago in the Dongli Sword Palace, when I saw Vice Hall Master Yi Xiao casually taking out the Heavenly Dao Six Extremes Pill, I was already shocked."
"I didn’t expect Young Master Xiao Yi to be so skilled in the art of refining as well."
Xiao Yi smiled without speaking, swallowing the pill.
From the start, he did not fear the test of this alchemy prohibition.
Back in the Six Dragon Territory, he managed to refine the Heavenly Dao Six Extremes Pill in just an hour.
Moreover, the Hundred Dao Pill is slightly lower in tier than the Heavenly Dao Six Extremes Pill.
Plus, his current strength is far beyond what it was in the Six Dragon Territory.
This time, he spent several hours simply because he didn’t use his formidable worldly flames.
Earlier in the Land of Flames, he was using the furnace’s flames.
Simply put, he was borrowing fire to refine the elixir.
This fire control technique was something he used during the Hundred Schools competition, borrowing Tong Ye’s fire for public refining.
Earlier as well, he borrowed the flames of the Land of Flames itself for refining.
Thus, what seemed like a dangerous moment in the end,
was actually about the more prohibitions that were broken, the higher the temperature of the flames, and the faster his refining became.
At the final moment, as the flame’s temperature soared to the extreme, he instantly refined the elixir, leading everyone out of danger.
However, on another note, Xiao Yi frowned silently.
Leading a group through the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion is indeed troublesome.
Just like earlier, in the Land of Flames, the danger was everywhere, a slight mistake could lead to dire consequences and death.
Even though he was confident, he was still cautious and anxious at heart.
In contrast, if he were alone, he might have used his Purple Flame for refining or challenged his own limits.
Knowing that the true test of the alchemy prohibition was about speed, and when he weighed himself against the measures left by the Ancient Emperor, he had a competitive mindset.
He wanted to see where his limits lay.
He even felt that not using his Purple Crystal Spirit Flame and instead borrowing fire to refine, if he ultimately succeeded in overcoming the prohibition, it would be more interesting.
But unfortunately, leading a group, he had many considerations.
That’s also why he always prefers to act alone.
Yet, as the rules of the Ancient Emperor’s Tomb event are thus, he could do nothing but try his best.
At this moment, Xiao Yi swallowed the Hundred Dao Pill.
Boom...
An aura burst within him, while at the same time, streams of Martial Arts Power descended from the heavens.
The Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power, which is Heaven and Earth Power, could not be blocked even by the prohibitions within the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion.
Xiao Yi quickly began absorbing, sitting cross-legged to cultivate.
During this, he didn’t need to consume or absorb any cultivation items.
As the medicinal effects of the Hundred Dao Pill were fully displayed within him, his Small World was instantly filled to sixty percent height.
Moreover, within the Small World, there were now one hundred complete Martial Arts Paths.
When Xiao Yi stopped cultivating, he showed joy.
"Cultivation, has reached the 9600 Dao level of Martial Arts Great Power." Xiao Yi inwardly rejoiced.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Hundred Dao Pill.
A single pill can allow a Martial Artist to gain a hundred complete Martial Arts Paths out of thin air, along with the corresponding cultivation improvement.
Even if a Martial Artist’s Small World and Qi Spring are immense, if the pill’s medicinal power itself is insufficient, it can be compensated by the Heaven and Earth Power drawn down.
For a Martial Artist like Xiao Yi, whose Small World and Qi Spring are enormously vast, this alone boosted his Small World’s Primordial Power by ten percent.
Equivalent to saving him a massive amount of cultivation items.
The most important thing is, if a Martial Artist is stuck at a cultivation bottleneck, this pill can solve their difficulty instantly.
Xiao Yi, having understood the pill recipe of the Hundred Dao Pill, naturally knew where the true mystery of it lay.
The Hundred Dao Pill is somewhat similar to the Heavenly Will Pill he refined back in the Eastern Domain; when a Martial Artist takes it, their ability to communicate with Heaven and Earth Power and their comprehension ability soar rapidly, with effects lasting for several hours.
The effects of the Hundred Dao Pill are tens of thousands of times stronger than the Heavenly Will Pill, perhaps even more.
At the same time, the Hundred Dao Pill itself contains surging medicinal power, equivalent to a mass of incomparably pure supplementary cultivation power.
Besides, its inherent ability to draw Heaven and Earth Power gives rise to this astounding Supreme Elixir, the Hundred Dao Pill.
However, the Hundred Dao Pill has two drawbacks.
The first is that although it is a Supreme Elixir, its effects only work below the Supreme Realm.
The second is that a Martial Artist can only consume it once in their lifetime.
Therefore, despite the Hundred Dao Pill’s incredible ability to increase a Martial Artist’s one hundred complete Martial Arts Paths and corresponding cultivation, with these two drawbacks, it is just slightly lower in tier than the Heavenly Dao Six Extremes Pill.
"Phew." Xiao Yi let out a breath of impure air, stopped cultivating, and slowly stood up.
Everyone on the side watched intently, seeing Xiao Yi instantly ascend in strength with 100 complete Martial Arts Paths, all were full of envy.
Gu Lianxing swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Xiao Yi glanced at Gu Lianxing, smiling, as a flash of light appeared in his hand, another Hundred Dao Pill emerged out of thin air.
"Another Hundred Dao Pill?" Gu Lianxing was startled, then reacted, "This must be the prohibition reward, right?"
"Indeed." Xiao Yi nodded.
He had two Hundred Dao Pills.
One was refined by himself; the other was a reward from the prohibition.
Gu Lianxing carefully scrutinized the elixir in Xiao Yi’s hand and suddenly widened her eyes in shock, "This is a Perfect Elixir."
"The elixir rewards within the prohibition are all remnants of what the Ancient Emperor refined during his life."
"If I remember correctly, the pill Young Master Xiao Yi consumed earlier and the one before you now, in terms of aura and appearance, are almost identical."
"That means, Young Master Xiao Yi, the one you refined earlier, is also a Perfect Elixir."
Gu Lianxing couldn’t help but widen her eyes, "Young Master Xiao Yi, in terms of refining mastery at the same level, you can be compared to this Eternal Emperor?"
"To be precise, surpass." Xiao Yi’s face was full of pride.
"So boastful." Gu Lianxing curled her lips, yet her gaze still lingered on the elixir in Xiao Yi’s hand.
Xiao Yi smiled, "It’s for you."
"For me?" Gu Lianxing was taken aback.
Xiao Yi smiled, "You’ve been staring all this while, just waiting for me to say it, aren’t you?"
Gu Lianxing waved her hand, laughing awkwardly.
"Though I want it, it’s better to give it to Huowu."
Gu Lianxing laughed, glancing at Gongsun Huowu.
"Huowu wasted a lot of cultivation time before and her cultivation is slightly lower than mine."
"Now with this Hundred Dao Pill, she can catch up to me instantly."
"As you wish." Xiao Yi nodded and handed the elixir to Gongsun Huowu.
Gongsun Huowu took a look, curled her lips, then looked at Xiao Yi, "Only giving it to me because Lianxing didn’t want it, I don’t want it."
