Chapter 494: Zhuge Gui's Consciousness Revived?

Black monster pill, a fourth-grade pill, not bad; first successful monster-to-pill refinement, difficulty not worse than normal pill refining, just a few extra steps.

This is also because the beastly nature and will of this black monster pill have been worn down by time; if it were a fresh monster pill, it might be a bit more troublesome, but how is this effect?

Chen Chuyang looked at the pill before him, fell into thought, wondering whether to try it.

As for him, he didn't want to be a guinea pig; the others on the mountain also weren't willing.

Heishanyang is now smart, won't casually eat pills, especially Chen Chuyang's pills, handling it carefully; you can't fool it, forcing it to eat is not impossible, but the other demon beasts are treasures, reluctant to let them eat.

The newly born Wild Dragon Snake is still weak, can't act recklessly; if it died, the loss would be huge—this is the stable source of his Wild Dragon Snake's blood, cannot let it die easily.

The little carp is a treasure among treasures; its luck will be a great killer.

The Five-Colored Salamander is even more unwilling to harm; this salamander might be the only one in the world, a treasure beyond measure.

Finally, only…… one person remains.

Right before his eyes, Chen Chuyang stared at Ghost King Zhuge Gui; after destroying the soul of the Shadow Grand Elder, this corpse, bereft of soul control, is hardly different from a puppet—perfect to test his pill, knowing any side effects, and the Ghost King feels no discomfort.

Even if the side effects were extremely strong or toxic, Chen Chuyang would not fear.

Thinking this, Chen Chuyang gazed at Ghost King Zhuge Gui's body turning scorching, took out a black monster pill, a fresh, hot pill retaining scorching heat, eagerly opened Ghost King Zhuge Gui's mouth, the pill entered and melted directly.

Chen Chuyang stared at Zhuge Gui's bodily changes, watching any alteration.

First monster-to-pill refinement, the black monster pill's effect is mighty; the Ghost King's body instantly burst forth a surge of blood qi.

Thick blood qi surged directly.

Rushing against the Ghost King's body, it made popping sounds; each vibration…… caused the Ghost King's body to tremble.

As if an explosion occurred inside the body.

The erupted energy is not weak.

The Ghost King's sturdy body seemed unable to withstand the medicinal potency; Chen Chuyang kept watching, this state lasted half an hour before Ghost King Zhuge Gui's body stabilized, its ghostly qi dissipated, turning into blood qi.

His body also gradually transformed; this transformation is quite extraordinary.

Also quite eerie, as if he were not a Ghost King but a human cultivator.

Shedding ghostly and resentful qi, he gradually became a normal human.

After the black monster pill's effect passed, Chen Chuyang checked Ghost King Zhuge Gui's condition.

"Blood qi rose from nothing to dozens of times higher; now his blood qi equals that of an ordinary Golden Core Sixth Heaven."

The effect of a single black monster pill is so formidable.

It is equivalent to directly raising Ghost King Zhuge Gui's cultivation to Golden Core Sixth Heaven, once surpassing the Xu Dan and Nei Dan realms.

Such enhancement has no limit, nor restriction.

Besides this, Ghost King Zhuge Gui's greatest change is the transformation of his yin and ghost qi, a rebirth not an exaggeration.

Yin ghost, after giving rise to blood qi, yin produces yang.

Yin and yang mingled.

Ghost King Zhuge Gui can be considered thoroughly stabilized; his future path will be smooth.

Chen Chuyang also envied this.

"By a yin-yang mishap, the black monster pill still has this effect."

The effect of a single black monster pill exceeded Chen Chuyang's expectations.

He took out one, hesitated a moment.

Opened his mouth, swallowed it.

The pill entered his mouth, instantly turning into frenzied blood qi, rushing his body.

In an instant, blood qi surged tenfold, still rising continuously.

In response, Chen Chuyang sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating the Hunyuan Dao Scripture; his body still felt for the first time such surging blood qi, a full sensation, making him very excited.

As his cultivation rose, blood qi deficient, how long had it been since he felt so full?

The effect of a single black monster pill seemed insufficient.

Those blood qi, just emerging, were immediately transformed.

Inside his body, too many things need blood qi and spirit qi; various weapons need them, and he himself requires vast amounts of blood qi and spirit qi.

Gritting his teeth, he ate a second black monster pill.

Two pills entered his belly; Chen Chuyang's blood qi erupted again.

Inside the room, everything was blood qi; the Hunyuan Bell hovered above, devouring the escaping blood qi.

Beside him, Zhuge Gui, standing, trembled slightly, his body automatically absorbing that blood qi.

Thus, a day passed.

Chen Chuyang opened his eyes, examined his condition.

"His cultivation rose a notch, still a bit short of the middle of the fourth layer of the Hunyuan Dao Scripture."

"Blood qi and true qi have completed their transformation; my body has become stronger."

Clenched fist, feeling his blood qi and strength.

Merely the body's toughness exceeds that of a spiritual artifact.

Great strength, a strong body, filled him with confidence.

"Too bad, if the Hunyuan Dao Scripture could break through, that would be nice."

Chen Chuyang felt a little regret; being unable to break through cultivation is also good.

Breaking through too quickly is bad for him; foundation is important.

In his hand, there are still six black monster pills; for now, he cannot eat them.

He needs to wait a period before taking more pills; after consuming several black monster pills, his cultivation might be able to take that step.

"The black monster pill's energy is too terrifying; that girl Hongxue cannot even think of using it, others also lack the qualification to consider using it."

At least a Golden Core is needed to initially use it; even Ghost King Zhuge Gui can only swallow one.

Having put away the black monster pill, Chen Chuyang looked at the several treasures he subsequently obtained; the Qi family's treasury is truly stingy—not treasures, far inferior to what he himself picked out: one spiritual artifact, one fragment, and one pill.

The spiritual artifact and fragment, after checking once, are useless; not as good as the fragment obtained the first time.

He directly threw it into the Primordial Chaos Bell; he didn't fancy that spiritual artifact, its quality too poor.

As for the pill, Chen Chuyang set it aside; it's merely a third-grade pill, useless to him.

"Huh?"

Chen Chuyang stood up, approached Zhuge Gui, and noticed an abnormality in Zhuge Gui's body.

He seemed to be swallowing blood qi, automatically.

On him, there was also…… a different feeling.

A very strange feeling, as if he had come back to life.

"Zhuge Gui's consciousness seems to still be present? Could it be that he didn't die?"

The Shadow Grand Elder left a hand, or perhaps this is Zhuge Gui's consciousness?

Chen Chuyang reached out, directly delving into Zhuge Gui's body, entering the sea of consciousness.

He found a strand of consciousness, not the Shadow Grand Elder's; the Shadow Grand Elder had long been refined by him, leaving not even dregs.

Then, this consciousness before him is Zhuge Gui's.

He, consciousness revived.

He had not been completely exterminated by the Shadow Grand Elder.

"Tsk tsk, could it be that extreme yin gives birth to yang, thus allowing creation to descend again?"

"Zhuge Gui's consciousness, condensing again?"
