Chapter 213: System Pill! The Holy Body Refining Medicine!

"The Hunyuan Jiudan pill... seems to be a type of system medicine?"

Xiao Ze initially wanted to see the effects of the Hunyuan Jiudan pill, but the bronze mural abruptly stopped at that point. Afterward, the protagonist experienced a significant change due to a conflict within the ancient Taixu dragon tribe, which led him to venture into the void. This change also deeply affected him, making him stubborn and a bit crazy. He desperately wanted to perfect the Hunyuan Jiudan pill but never managed to create the final pill. Until the end of his life, this Taixu dragon alchemist never completed the Hunyuan Jiudan pill.

In the last mural, the Taixu dragon alchemist left his final will, hoping that someone who found the bronze palace in the void could complete the Hunyuan Jiudan pill.

Seeing this, Xiao Ze sighed. Another alchemist who wanted to make history, he thought. This type of system pill is extremely rare in the alchemy world. At least, Xiao Ze had never heard of anything like it. It turns out that this bronze palace fell from the void, or rather, was attracted by Tang Zhen's Nine Dragon Lightning Fire and landed near the Burning Flame Valley.

Xiao Ze approached the enormous shell of the Taixu dragon. The closer he got, the stronger he felt the dragon's pressure.

However, the Taixu Dragon had already passed away. With Xiao Ze's strength, he didn't suffer any significant effects.

"Even though the dragon is dead, its pressure still lingers," sighed Xiao Ze as he walked through the body of the Taixu Dragon.

He discovered a bronze altar hidden beneath the dragon's body. On the altar, a purple and gold medicinal cauldron caught his attention.

Quickly, he approached the medicinal cauldron. Its surface was carved with nine Taixu Dragons in a very realistic manner. The most surprising thing was that the pressure emitted by the medicinal cauldron was even greater than that of the Taixu Dragon's corpse.

Xiao Ze slightly opened the cauldron and smelled a strong scent of blood. Inside the cauldron, there was half a vat of Taixu Dragon blood. Floating in this blood, which was full of vitality, was an incomplete pill.

"Raising a pill with vital blood!" exclaimed Xiao Ze, recognizing this alchemy technique. However, human alchemists usually don't have enough vital blood to do this; only magical beast alchemists can afford it.

Thanks to the vital blood, the pill had remained intact for a long time. Xiao Ze observed the pill, purple and gold in color, surrounded by a small but vivid shadow of a Taixu Dragon.

Even though it was just a shadow, it seemed like a living Taixu Dragon. The dragon pressure Xiao Ze had felt came from this incomplete pill.

With his alchemy experience, Xiao Ze could determine that, although incomplete, this pill was at least of the eighth grade. The dragon shadow around the pill was its spirit.

Xiao Ze carefully closed the cauldron, not taking out the pill. It was still balanced and being nurtured by the dragon blood. Taking it out would ruin it.

"I still need to find the complete recipe for the Hunyuan Jiudan Pill; otherwise, I can't fully refine this completely unknown medicine."

Xiao Ze went to the center of the altar, where there were only three items: a high-level purple and gold storage ring, a jade plaque of the same color, and a bloodstained dragon scale.

He first took the storage ring. The soul mark on it was very weak, and Xiao Ze easily broke it with his spiritual power. Exploring the ring, he found many valuable items, especially pill recipes.

Xiao Ze was particularly interested in the Hunyuan Jiudan Pill recipe. Although he found many recipes, most were for magical beasts, and others were more general.

"Well, that makes sense. This alchemist was a magical beast, so most of his recipes were for magical beasts."

Xiao Ze didn't mind. At his level of alchemy, seeking different types of recipes could only benefit him. Moreover, he also found the name of the alchemist: Zhuyang.

What surprised Xiao Ze the most was not finding the Hunyuan Jiudan Pill recipe in the ring. According to the mural, Zhuyang dedicated his life to this pill.

It could even be said that if he completed the Hunyuan Jiudan Pill, he could become a ninth-grade alchemist. But due to changes in his tribe, Zhuyang went into the void, lost support, and, working alone, never completed the pill.

He died in the void, leaving his last wish for someone to complete his work.

"If I accepted the regression of Ziyan's Taixu Gulong lineage, could I consider myself part of the Taixu Gulong tribe?" (the Ancient Void Dragon clan)

"Tss!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ze remembered that Ziyan had returned to her Taixu Gulong tribe some time ago. She couldn't have made no progress in all that time, right? Or was there no lineage regression?

In the original story, Ziyan's lineage was the purest in the Taixu Gulong tribe. Even her blood pressure made the powerful Xiong Zhan exclaim: "Ancestral blood pressure!"

If he wanted to obtain Ziyan's lineage regression, he would have to resort to the Dragon and Phoenix Fruit.

"Well, just once is enough. Once would be as beneficial as most other regressions."

"Moreover, according to the initial regression, which is a hundred times greater, after Ziyan absorbs the Dragon and Phoenix Fruit, she could reach the four-star Dou Sheng level."

"With a hundredfold regression, who knows what level she could reach? After all, each level in the Dou Sheng stage is vastly different."

Thinking of this, Xiao Ze shook his head. There were many years left until the opening of the Dou Sheng relic. There was no need to think too much about it.

"But if I knew the exact location, when I find Ziyan, could I use her spatial ability to find the Dou Sheng relic?"

With this idea in mind, Xiao Ze reached for the dragon-shaped jade plaque in the center of the altar. This plaque was similar to the one given to him by Zhu Li, and it was slightly warm to the touch.

After investigating, Xiao Ze discovered that the two were completely different.

The jade given to him by Elder Zhuli was a communication jade, while this dragon-shaped jade was an information jade.

Xiao Ze poured his spiritual power into it, and soon a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. It contained all the information about the Hunyuan Pill.

Perhaps Zhu Yang wanted future researchers to complete the creation of these pills, so the information was very detailed.

From the conception of the idea to create the pills to each success and failure in the process, every step was meticulously recorded.

Just in terms of the amount of information in this jade, Xiao Ze estimated it was equivalent to one-tenth of the "Demonic Blood Encyclopedia."

It's important to remember that the "Demonic Blood Encyclopedia" encompasses a vast amount of knowledge, and Xiao Ze considers it very profound.

This gives an idea of the great amount of information contained in this dragon-shaped jade.

"No wonder a written formula wasn't used. Recording so much information with spiritual power would exhaust even an eighth-grade alchemist."

Xiao Ze also understood the situation of the Hunyuan Pill. These pills were designed specifically for magical beasts.

That's right, according to Zhu Yang's design, humans couldn't meet the conditions to create these pills.

However, Xiao Ze was not disappointed because he had the feedback of magical beast blood, and not just any beast, but the sky-devouring rainbow snake!

"According to the instructions of the Hunyuan Pill, the blood of the magical beast itself is needed, combined with various ingredients to create pills from the first to the ninth grade, taken in sequence."

"Since they are made with the beast's own blood, the effects can be better superimposed, thus achieving greater efficacy."

Perhaps a first-grade pill would only slightly improve the body, but a fifth-grade one could improve it by 5%.

Eighth-grade pills, accompanied by five-colored lightning, could improve the body by an astounding 50%.

For ancient dragon beasts like the Taixu Gulong, this was an invaluable body refining elixir.

Taking an eighth-grade pill with five-colored lightning could improve the body by 50%.

It's important to remember that improving the body becomes more difficult over time.

Normal training has no effect on those with extremely strong bodies, resulting in a situation where they can't advance any further.

Xiao Ze reviewed Zhu Yang's idea for the ninth pill and noticed something strange. He perceived that Zhu Yang's idea had an error.

"Zhu Yang seems to have hit a dead end... He believed that the ninth pill had to be a ninth-grade pill."

"Until the last moment of his life, he even used his own blood to try to create a ninth-grade pill."

Zhu Yang had created pills up to the eighth grade with his own Taixu Gulong blood, reaching the highest possible level.

But after the eighth-grade pills, the pills could only attract five-colored lightning.

Zhu Yang thought this was the limit of the eighth-grade pills and began to focus on creating ninth-grade pills, believing that the Hunyuan Pill had to have one pill for each grade.

"Zhu Yang seems to have hit a dead end. From the eighth grade, the difference between the pills becomes greater."

"Zhu Yang jumped directly from the pills with five-colored lightning to ninth-grade pills."

"Between the eighth-grade pills with five-colored lightning and the ninth-grade pills, there should be an eighth-grade pill with nine-colored lightning."

As an external observer, Xiao Ze could see what Zhu Yang couldn't.

Zhu Yang, being alone in the void, didn't have the opportunity to realize his mistake. If he had continued his research in the Taixu Gulong tribe, he might have found his limitation with the help of others.

"The ninth pill of the Hunyuan Pill should be an eighth-grade pill with nine-colored lightning. Ninth-grade pills should be divided into three new categories: sacred pills, mysterious pills, and golden pills."

"According to this calculation, completing the ninth pill could increase the body by 70%."

"Improving the body by 70% is amazing. It really deserves to be called a body refining elixir."

"But I can't predict the ninth-grade pills, as the difference is too great."

When Xiao Ze came to, he realized he had been immersed in the Hunyuan Pill information for two full days.

"As I thought, alchemists must exchange knowledge. After reviewing the Hunyuan Pill, I have a better understanding of alchemy."

"Just in terms of improving my alchemy, this trip has already been worth it, not to mention the collection in this high-quality ring."

Xiao Ze stored the dragon-shaped jade to investigate it further later.

Pretending to fully understand the Hunyuan Pill in two days would be too ambitious, as it was Zhu Yang's life's work.

Breathing deeply, Xiao Ze looked at the last item at the center of the altar: a bloodstained, purple-gold dragon scale.

Xiao Ze picked it up and found no resistance.

The scale, still warm and fused with blood, didn't drip at all.

Although this dragon scale was mysterious, it didn't reveal its secrets to Xiao Ze.

"It must be an inheritance scale from the Taixu Gulong tribe. Without their blood, I can't use it."

"But I've already gained so much from this journey, I shouldn't ask for more. When I meet Ziyan, I'll give her this scale."

Xiao Ze put away the bloodstained scale and looked at the large dragon corpse surrounding the altar. He took out an empty high-quality ring and stored the corpse inside.

He wasn't interested in the dragon's blood.

After all, it was a relative of Ziyan, and he couldn't just extract its blood.

He only wanted Ziyan to bury this elder of her tribe on Dragon Island, returning it to its home.

Zhu Yang had left a great legacy that helped Xiao Ze, so Xiao Ze wanted to do something in return.

If possible, Xiao Ze would also try to complete the "Hunyuan Jiudan Pill."

I ask the readers to keep reading. This is very important now! Thank you so much!
