Chapter 500: Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill, One Step to Title Douluo
Just as Lv Lingqi and the others began the first trial of the Sea God's Light, Feihuang arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with his chief general, deputy general, and strategist.
At this time, Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi were staying here, continuously picking precious herbs; their spirit tools were almost full.
The medicine refining department specifically established by the Gulei Kingdom had Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi as the head and deputy head respectively. Although Dugu Bo was the head, he rarely managed affairs, so the person actually in charge was Yang Wudi.
This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was also freely open to Yang Wudi.
Who knows what wind was blowing today, but Dugu Bo changed his usual behavior and actually helped Yang Wudi collect medicinal materials, even picking them for him personally.
"Uh, Old Poison, Yang Qianbei, what are you two doing?" Nan Feihuang asked curiously.
Seeing Nan Feihuang arrive, both were delighted, especially Yang Wudi, who immediately rushed to Nan Feihuang's side. "Crown Prince, we are looking for the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King. Was it taken by you? Now, the only thing left in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with a similar effect is an Eight Thousand Year Polygonum Multiflorum. If we use this to refine medicine, the success rate will not be high." Yang Wudi rattled off a long paragraph as soon as he came up.
"Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King, Eight Thousand Year Polygonum Multiflorum? Refining medicine?" Nan Feihuang was stunned, then thought of something and said in shock, "Wait, Yang Qianbei, you wouldn't be trying to refine the most miraculous medicinal pills in the Dunjia Heavenly Book, the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill and the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill, would you?"
Feihuang had already taught the Dunjia Heavenly Book to Yang Wudi, and Feihuang himself had naturally read the contents of the medicine refining chapter.
There was one type of pill among them that he dared not refine, and that was the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill. That kind of pill actually did not require a very high level of medicine refining skill; it only required sufficient medicinal materials and a passing level of medicine refining ability.
But this medicine had a difficult point: although the demand for medicine refining ability was not high, the demand for medicinal materials was terrifyingly high. An Immortal Grade Herb like the Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King or Ten Thousand Year Fleeceflower was a necessary main ingredient, and the auxiliary ingredients were countless, many of which were existences comparable to the Nine-Rank Purple Ganoderma.
If it weren't for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, one wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Even so, to refine this kind of medicine, one would have to strip the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well bare.
Moreover, this kind of medicine also had the possibility of failure, so Feihuang did not dare to gamble easily.
"Little brother, what is the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill? Is it stronger than what you usually give us to eat?" Nan Feiling asked curiously.
"It's more than just a little bit stronger. This can be said to be one of the pills with the most powerful medicinal properties recorded in my Dunjia Heavenly Book," Nan Feihuang said. "Once this kind of pill takes shape, it can allow the user to raise their cultivation to an extremely high level for their plane. In other words, a Title Douluo."
Nan Feiling and Shui Bing'er couldn't help but cover their mouths, shocked beyond measure. "In other words, eating this kind of pill can make a person immediately rise to the Title Douluo realm?"
"That's right." Feihuang nodded. "Of course, there are also drawbacks. First, a Title Douluo raised by this method will only be at the entry level, that is, between level ninety and level ninety-three. After all, it is only an extremely high realm under the plane's restrictions, not the highest realm, and it cannot raise the life level; potential will also decline, and future level advancement will become very slow. Second, it is ineffective for those whose life level is too strong, and it cannot raise the life level. In other words, a human cannot become a god after eating it, and a god cannot advance to a God King after eating it."
Feihuang stated two major drawbacks in one breath. In fact, besides these, there was another drawback: the plane level where the user is located cannot be too strong. For example, in a high-level immortal cultivation world, it is impossible for a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator to eat such a pill and immediately become a high-level cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage or Great Vehicle Stage. This exceeds the limit of the pill too much, so it can only be applied to some martial arts or low-level fantasy planes.
However, Douluo Continent did not have this problem; the plane restrictions here were not strong. This pill was created by Zuo Ci, and it was Zuo Ci the Immortal from Dynasty Warriors.
At that time, in the world where he was, if judged by the standard of warriors, the strongest were Top-tier Warriors. The peak among the top-tier included Lv Bu, the Five Tigers, the Tiger Bravery Duo, etc., while the entry level of Top-tier Warriors was the level of the two Xiahous, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan. If the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill were in the world of Dynasty Warriors, it could raise the strength of an ordinary warrior to a level comparable to Xiahou Yuan.
Although Xiahou Yuan was only just entering the top-tier, he was still much more formidable than the Limit Douluo or even the gods of this world.
And on the Douluo Continent plane, because of the plane restrictions, rising to the entry level of Title Douluo was naturally not a problem at all.
"Although there are flaws, even so, this is still a pill that steals the creation of heaven and earth," Shui Bing'er sighed. "It is worthy of the name Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill; it can turn a Spirit Master with average aptitude into a Nine Heavens Divine Dragon."
Feihuang nodded. Shui Bing'er was indeed very smart; she had pointed out the key point. The Spirit Master who takes this pill should not have too strong an aptitude, because that would be a waste of talent.
Like Shui Bing'er herself, even if it were placed in front of her, she would not eat it. She could rely on herself to achieve Title Douluo, and in the future, she could sprint toward Super Douluo, Limit Douluo, or even the realm of gods. Why pull up the seedlings to help them grow and trap herself at level ninety to ninety-three for the sake of temporary power?
But if it were someone with average aptitude who could never become a Title Douluo on their own, this would be the strongest divine pill in the world.
"Then, what is the Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill?" Shui Bing'er asked another key question. She seemed to have heard the names of two types of pills just now; besides the Divine Dragon Pill, there was also a Dragon Transformation Pill.
A dragon-like creature is a lower rank than a dragon, so this pill might also be a lower-rank version of the Divine Dragon Pill.
"The Dragon Transformation Pill is actually a failed Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Pill," Feihuang explained. "The person who created this kind of pill was named Zuo Ci. In a sense, he can be considered my master; after all, my cultivation technique also comes from him."
"When he created this kind of pill back then, he discovered that the success rate of this medicine was not high, and the consumption of medicinal materials was too huge. To avoid waste, he wrote a method of settling for the next best thing in the medicine refining method. Once a problem is discovered during the medicine refining process, one can turn to refining the simpler Dragon Transformation Pill."
"The Nine Heavens Dragon Transformation Pill has an effect similar to the Divine Dragon Pill, also raising a person's cultivation to a high realm in one breath, but it is not necessarily a hundred percent Title Douluo. It is also possible that it can only raise them to Spirit Douluo. The specific amount depends on the user's own fortune, and the side effects are greater. For those who take the Divine Dragon Pill, although their potential will weaken, it is not gone; as long as they work hard to cultivate, there is still the possibility of progress. But the Dragon Transformation Pill will completely fix a person's cultivation. No matter how hard they work to cultivate after taking it, they will never be able to progress even a tiny bit. Even absorbing spirit rings and soul bones is useless; the excess soul power will be directly expelled from the body."
In this world, although it is said that one can become a Title Douluo at level ninety, in reality, a level ninety Title Douluo basically does not exist.
Because once one reaches level ninety and absorbs the ninth spirit ring, one can at least raise one level with the help of the spirit ring's power. For example, Tuoba Xi, Dugu Bo, and others became level ninety-one Title Douluo with the help of their spirit rings as soon as they were titled.
And those who take the Dragon Transformation Pill, even if they absorb nine Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings in one breath, will still be level ninety. The extra soul power cannot enter their body and can only dissipate.
This kind of Title Douluo is probably not much stronger than a Spirit Douluo; it is truly the weakest Title Douluo in history, which lowers the lower limit of the strength of Title Douluo.
"Uh, forget about the Divine Dragon Pill, I wouldn't eat this Dragon Transformation Pill even if it were given to me," Nan Feiling said. "However, I still admire this old man Zuo Ci very much; he was actually able to develop such a pill. It is quite useful for our kingdom to cultivate a foundation. Yang Qianbei, how many can you develop?"
Yang Wudi thought for a while. "For the Divine Dragon Pill, at most one, with a success rate of about thirty percent. For the Dragon Transformation Pill, perhaps two or three, with a success rate of seventy percent."
