Chapter 1181 - Dragon Fragrant Pill
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Desolate Ancient Ruins, inside the python’s cave.
It was dark without a single ray of light. The air was emitting a rotten smell, and animal bones could be seen everywhere.
“Big Yellow, have you found it?” Ou Yangming asked.
Not far away, Big Yellow quickly jumped back. He had a transparent plant in his mouth, and his tail was wagging. He looked very happy.
Looking at the thing in Big Yellow’s mouth, Ou Yangming’s eyes were filled with surprise and joy. He was no longer an ignorant fellow in the path of alchemy.
“A Grade 6 spiritual herb, an Icicle Flower.”
‘Isn’t this one of the main ingredients to refine the Dragon Fragrant Pill?’
In the Truth of Alchemy, there were many records of the refining methods of many high-grade pills. The Dragon Fragrant Pill was one of them. Even the poorest Dragon Fragrant Pill could have 5 times the effect of the Dragon Fragrant Herb.
Ou Yangming had personally tried the power of a Dragon Fragrant Herb. The last time he was in the 10,000 Dragons Valley, it was because of the Dragon Fragrant Herb that he had grasped the method to use the law of time. Moreover, he had seen the second move of the Supreme Spear Principle.
Nonetheless, that move was just a flash in the pan. Ou Yangming could not see through it given his strength at that time. If he were to do it again…
Ou Yangming was thrilled.
The Supreme Spear Principle was Xing Tian’s ultimate technique. Ou Yangming was able to defeat powerhouses at the second step because of it. If he did not have the Supreme Spear Principle, he would have died when he met the king of the Golden Crows.
“Lil’ Red, Big Yellow, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait here for a few days.”
Ou Yangming was still looking at the Icicle Flower.
Big Yellow did not quite understand. It asked, “Lil’ Ming, didn’t you say that time is precious and that you want to finish first? Won’t we be wasting our time here?”
Lil’ Red’s eyes were also filled with puzzlement. He looked at Ou Yangming with a confused look.
Ou Yangming smiled and explained, “Sharpening a knife won’t delay chopping wood. I want to refine a kind of medicinal pill here. This medicinal pill is very useful to me. If I succeed, it’ll be of great benefit to me.”
Hearing Ou Yangming’s words, Big Yellow and Lil’ Red did not retort.
“Okay. We’ll protect you,” Big Yellow said.
“Where are you refining the medicinal pill? Here?” Lil’ Red looked around and covered his nose with his wings. The smell here made him very unhappy.
Ou Yangming was not picky. Refining a pill here would be even more concealed. He nodded and said, “This place is very good. It won’t take long anyway.”
The smell in the air was not good, but Ou Yangming did not care. He took out the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron.
Big Yellow and Lil’ Red also walked outside. They wanted to give Ou Yangming some space so that no one would disturb him while he was refining the pill.
Ou Yangming silently recalled the introduction on the Truth of Alchemy. After all, it was his first time refining a high-level pill like the Dragon Fragrant Pill. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
He was already very familiar with the control of the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. He moved carefully by first putting the Icicle Flower into the cauldron. Afterward, he took out a stalk of Dragon Fragrance Herb.
As time passed, Ou Yangming’s forehead was covered in sweat. There was only one Icicle Flower, so he could not fail. Otherwise, all his efforts would be wasted, and he would also waste a Dragon Fragrant Herb.
“Condense!”
Ou Yangming coldly shouted, and his hands continuously made gestures. The flames in the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron surged, and a fragrance bloomed from within.
The corners of Ou Yangming’s eyes revealed smiles. He had succeeded in refining a Dragon Fragrant Pill for the first time.
Inside the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, a faint golden medicinal pill flew out.
The Dragon Fragrant Pill could be considered a top-grade medicinal pill. If it appeared in an auction, it would be more sought after than a Fine Grade magic weapon.
Once the medicinal pill appeared, the fragrance wafted far away.
Ou Yangming hurriedly formed a spell to block this smell but some of the fragrance still spread outside.
Without hesitation, Ou Yangming observed for a while before swallowing the Dragon Fragrant Pill.
This time, he was ready. His mind was empty, and he entered the state of being one with the world. He appeared in the starry sky again.
With the experience from last time, Ou Yangming was not surprised this time. He focused his attention on the white-clothed middle-aged man in the starry sky.
Ou Yangming felt a familiar aura from this person, and it seemed to be very similar to that of Xing Tian. Despite that, he was also sure that the person was not Xing Tian. After all, Xing Tian did not have a head, and the demonic Qi on his body was monstrous. It was the complete opposite of this middle-aged man’s aura.
Just like last time, Ou Yangming could not see the appearance of the white-clothed middle-aged man clearly. There seemed to be a layer of smoke that covered his face.
The man in white turned around and smiled slightly in Ou Yangming’s direction. It was as if he was greeting an old friend.
‘He still remembers me?’
Ou Yangming was surprised. He had come here once when he ate the Dragon Fragrant Herb the last time, but was this not in his spiritual world?
How could an illusion have the ability to remember? Ou Yangming was somewhat baffled. The white-robed man had moved. A silver-white spear appeared in his hand. He waved the spear, and a boundless aura descended. The world seemed to have quietened down. The meteors that flew from the horizon also stopped moving. Only when the spear landed did the world return to normal.
The starry sky exploded, and a large area of planets turned into nothingness.
Subsequently, the white-robed man put away the spear and disappeared.
‘Is it over?’
It was Ou Yangming’s second time seeing it, but he was still shocked by the spear just now. This time, he saw it very clearly, and he could even feel the power of a law on it.
The moment the spear was brandished, a strong power of time appeared. This power was boundless, and even the starry sky could not resist it.
‘Was that the second move of the Supreme Spear Principle?
‘It’s too powerful!
‘If I were to learn it, so what if I were to face the Nine-sworded Ruler?’ Ou Yangming did not know the strength of the white-robed man in his spiritual sea, but he knew that the man’s move could definitely kill the Nine-sworded Ruler numerous times!
It was crushing. The white-robed man could even stop the universe, so what was the Nine-sworded Ruler? He was just a small ant.
The scene changed, and the starry sky disappeared. Ou Yangming appeared on a huge eight trigram.
Beneath his feet was a huge eight trigram.
The Yin and Yang energies revolved around Ou Yangming on the eight trigram. Looking at the power of the law of Yin and Yang, his eyes were filled with surprise. It had been a long time since this power had increased.
On the eight trigram, Ou Yangming could feel the existence of the power of the law of Yin and Yang the most intuitively. He did not know that he was changing.
“If you seek the theory of Yin and Yang, join the Taichi Sect!”
A loud voice appeared in his sea of consciousness.
“I’m willing to do that!”
Ou Yangming was neither sad nor happy at this moment. He had already become one with the world.
“Good!”
The voice came from the void. The Taichi diagram below Ou Yangming completely disappeared. The diagram turned into Yin and Yang energies that entered his body.
Ou Yangming’s body seemed to have expanded. He felt intense swelling pain. He was clearly in an illusory spiritual world, but he did not know why it was so real.
Woosh, woosh, woosh…
Ou Yangming finally woke up.
His head was full of sweat, and his body was drenched in sweat. His mental power was also very exhausted.
Where did the Taichi diagram go?
Ou Yangming suddenly thought of something. He checked his body, and his eyes were filled with shock.
The power of his law of Yin and Yang had broken through its bottleneck and reached another stage. If he guessed correctly, it should be the second step of the law.
“I actually broke through to the second step?” Ou Yangming found it hard to believe, but the result was exactly like this.
Being in the second step, he could be considered one of the top combat powers of the Humans. Even the kings of the Qiongqis and the Golden Crows were only at this level.
Ou Yangming was confident that he could defeat the king of the Golden Crows even without using the Supreme Spear Principle.
His strength increased again, which made him confident. The gap between him and the Nine-sworded Ruler was no longer so far away.
This distance between them was getting shorter. As long as Ou Yangming took one more step, he was confident that he could destroy the Nine-sworded Ruler.
There was also the second move of the Supreme Spear Principle.
Ou Yangming recalled the actions of the white-clothed man in his heart. This time, he saw it clearly and did not miss any details.
Holding the Reincarnation Spear in his hand, Ou Yangming was about to experiment when he heard the sounds of a battle outside.
Frowning, Ou Yangming withdrew the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron and flew out like a streak of light.
Outside the cave, Big Yellow and Lil’ Red were working together to barely block the attacks of more than 10 Ancient Demons. Although these Ancient Demons were only ordinary Rulers, there were many of them, and they had powerful innate abilities. Lil’ Red and Big Yellow had just broken through to the law boundary not long ago, hence it was very difficult to block them.
Ou Yangming was stunned. ‘Why are there so many Ancient Demons here all of a sudden?’ After recalling for a moment, he seemed to have understood something.
When the Dragon Fragrant Pill appeared, the fragrance wafted far away. These Ancient Demons must have been attracted by the fragrance. Ou Yangming’s gaze turned, and he seemed to have thought of a good way to earn points. Having said that, at this moment, he still had to solve the problem in front of him first.
Ou Yangming carried the Reincarnation Spear and entered the battlefield. With a flick of the spear in his hand, the power of the law of Yin and Yang revolved around the spear.
“Puff!”
The spear moved, and fresh blood splattered out.
A tall and strong ape was pierced through the heart by the Reincarnation Spear. Its body was as tough as a diamond but under the spear, it was as weak as tofu.
When their companion, who was a Ruler, died in battle, the other Ancient Demons instantly panicked. The human’s strength was too strong, and he was an existence at the second step of the laws.
The second step was undefeatable!
“Run!”
More than 10 Ancient Demons left the battlefield and fled in all directions. Lil’ Red and Big Yellow had been on defense during the battle, so they could not stop them from leaving.
Seeing that these Ancient Demons were about to run away, Ou Yangming sneered.
The Reincarnation Spear in his hand flashed with golden light.
“Earth’s Demolition!”
Ou Yangming shouted. At the same time, the world seemed to have quieted down..
