The Divine Eye civilization’s pill refinement techniques weren’t as unique as their artifact refinement techniques. They mostly stole pills or used certain methods to trade for them with other strong civilizations.
Although they were unfamiliar with pill refinement, their many years of experience made the Divine Eye civilization know a lot about the famous pills and their effects. The Exalted Immortal Pill was one of them.
This pill couldn’t be refined by any old civilization. Essentially, it could only be refined within some larger civilizations. Some unknown formulas were added into it, causing the supply of it to be low. The main effect of this pill was to enable ordinary cultivators to forcefully increase their success rate using extremely concentrated Spirit Qi when they were breaking through to the Spirit Immortal realm from the Soul Conduit realm. At the same time, because of the unknown formulas within it, the pill could be considered a restricted medicine. Cultivators could only consume it once in their lifetime, as consuming it twice would cause serious damage to their bodies.
Despite this, because the pill was intriguing and had strong effects, even though it was a restricted medicine, it still had an extremely high price in small civilizations. In fact, it had a price, but there was no one buying it!
When Wang Baole went out previously to look for information, he saw people who were willing to trade ten battleships for the Exalted Immortal Pill. This surprised Wang Baole.
I don’t even know which guy prepared this for himself. I’ve gotten a steal here. Looking at the pill, Wang Baole felt blissful. He also couldn’t remember who the original owner of the pill was. If it was picked up by the donkey, it must have belonged to the Ink Dragon Legion either way.
Since it originally belonged to the Ink Dragon Legion, Wang Baole felt even happier in his heart. That was especially so after he used various methods to check the pill and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it. In fact, to prevent accidents, he even scraped some powder from the pill and fed it to the donkey. Now, he was absolutely sure that there was nothing wrong with the pill.
So he sat there cross-legged and started humming a tune as the donkey beside him stared at him with resentment.
Before enjoying this Immortal Pill, I should celebrate first. Wang Baole retrieved a huge bunch of snacks and chomped away at them. Afterward, he drank many bottles of Ice Spirit Water that he had stored. Finally, he patted his abs with satisfaction and sighed with emotion.
An avatar is good to have after all, as I won’t get fat no matter how much I eat. Next time I want to eat something, I’ll let my avatar do so… To think, I can even come up with such an ingenious idea. Wang Baole, what a genius you are! As Wang Baole got lost in his own thoughts, he increasingly felt that he was incredibly smart. While he felt happy in his heart, he noticed the increasing indignance of the donkey not far away. Therefore, he released the donkey’s seal, enabling it to open its mouth… Afterwards, he threw out materials he didn’t need.
The donkey immediately became excited and ate frantically. In a few moments, he ate everything up and continued staring at Wang Baole eagerly.
I’m way too softhearted. Wang Baole couldn’t help it. After searching for some time, he found some trash materials and threw them over. Afterwards, he didn’t care about the donkey anymore. He picked up the Exalted Immortal Pill in front of him as a weird glow shone in his eyes, and he deliberated in his heart once more.
If I save this until I reach the perfected Soul Conduit realm, although it best fits this pill’s usage conditions, I don’t know how long that would take… It’s dangerous in the Divine Eye civilization, and if something happens before I reach the perfected Soul Conduit realm, someone else will get a steal. That wouldn’t be worth it for me.
So… even if it’s a bit of a waste, I must eat it now! A glimmer flashed between Wang Baole’s eyes. After coming to a decision, he first checked the arrangements around him. Afterward, he retrieved his voice transmission jade slip and sealed it, ensuring that he wouldn’t be disturbed during the key period when he ate the pill. After completing his preparations, he finally picked up the pill, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it!
The moment he swallowed the pill, Wang Baole felt a rumble in his mind. It was as though a volcano erupted in his body as waves of heat spread through it. As it spread, the volcanic eruptions continued. Under the waves of eruptions, it was as though the number of volcanoes rose sharply, and concentrated Spirit Qi exploded forth from his body at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, he started sweating from his forehead. The Exalted Immortal Pill was too powerful, even causing him to feel his meridians expand…
This pill is so strong! Wang Baole breathed fast, circulating his cultivation while forcefully withstanding the spirit energy exploding forth in his body. It felt like his body was being ripped open by a saber. After rapidly checking the arrangements surrounding him for his seclusion and confirming that there was nothing wrong, he finally closed his eyes and focused on absorbing and digesting the pill.
Not long after, around ten minutes or so later, Wang Baole’s whole body turned red like a soldering iron and exploded. He turned into mist and spread out within this closed space. Afterward, he rapidly gathered back into his body that was meditating cross-legged, making use of this method to enable himself to better absorb the pill.
The body that reformed looked much stronger than it was previously just based on its aura. His cultivation also rose sharply after he turned into mist and regathered.
But, obviously, it was difficult for him to completely absorb the pill. So Wang Baole sublimated and reformed his body a total of three times afterward. When he completely absorbed the pill, his cultivation finally broke through from the early-stage Soul Conduit realm, entering… the mid-stage Soul Conduit realm!
His boundless cultivation circulated continuously around his body. Every time he breathed, it was as though two dragons flew out from his nostrils, flew around the surroundings, then returned. This state continued for seven days before slowly ending. When Wang Baole opened his eyes after meditating for seven days, it was as though there was lightning in his eyes, causing the secret chamber he went into for his seclusion to become brighter.
Although the cultivation became suppressed under Wang Baole’s adjustments, the suppressive force from his body and the light deep in his eyes still showed and caused the cosmos around the meteorite to warp.
Mid-stage Soul Conduit realm! After a moment, Wang Baole raised his head. Even if he was mentally prepared, he was still shaken by the power of the Exalted Immortal Pill. Alas, he still felt a tinge of regret. After all, that pill was special and could only be eaten once in a Soul Conduit cultivator’s lifetime. Eating it now meant that it would be rendered ineffective when he tried to break through to the Spirit Immortal realm.
I’m not considering so much anymore! Wang Baole felt the change in his cultivation as a fierce glint appeared in his eyes. He predicted what would happen if he were to meet the Ink Dragon Legion commander again and finally got an answer. Although his present self was still no match for that False Immortal, there was a high chance that he could kill her if he sacrificed his avatar!
With this confidence, Wang Baole felt the state of his main body again. Because his avatar was created by his essence technique, the improvement of his avatar would allow his main body to gain the benefits simultaneously. So his main body, which was in a coffin on the Divine Eye civilization’s main star, had also reached the mid-stage Soul Conduit realm.
It was just that if the avatar returned and fused back into the main body, although the main body’s cultivation wouldn’t change, the increase in combat strength would definitely be immense.
A mere False Immortal is nothing to be scared of! Thinking about how impressive he was, Wang Baole was extremely confident. He retrieved his voice transmission jade slip and activated it to see whether anyone had sent him a voice transmission in these seven days.
The moment he activated the voice transmission jade slip, a large amount of information transmitted over. They included messages from De Kunzi, a few strangers, and an order!
Wang Baole paused. After checking, his eyes shone.
The Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s patriarch wants to meet me? Wang Baole’s heart beat more quickly. He saw that De Kunzi had mentioned this in his message as well. So, after deliberating, he contacted De Kunzi and quickly got an answer after asking a few questions.
Without a doubt, Wang Baole had pulled off a great coup through his battle with the Ink Dragon Legion and was now famous. Naturally, he caught the attention of the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect and that of the Planet realm patriarch.
So, he sent an order, calling Wang Baole to attend the next Divine Sovereign Justice Sect general assembly. Normally, only those who had a certain amount of power in the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect and had reached the Soul Conduit realm had the right to attend these general assemblies. As for cultivators from other minor sects, unless they achieved great success or made great contributions to the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect, they wouldn’t be invited. If they were invited, it represented recognition from the greater sect to a certain degree.
This invitation was just what Wang Baole needed and was the purpose of his wanting to pull off a great coup previously. When he saw that he had achieved this, he was very excited. Meanwhile, he also calculated the time and realized that the general assembly would take place in three days. So, after careful deliberation and ensuring that there were no major issues, he left the meteorite he entered for his seclusion and headed straight for the Divine Sovereign Justice Sect’s headquarters… the Sovereign Planet!
