Chapter 442: The Mysteries of an Eighth-Rank Alchemist, Pills of Law and Dao Rhyme

"Is it very dangerous?"

"Could it be that something has happened?"

Hearing this, Wu Di frowned and couldn't help but look at his good friend.

"As far as I know, it seems the Boundary Gate between the Prison Demon World and the Spirit World is about to mature."

"When that time comes, the Prison Demon World will launch a massive invasion, and Great Vehicle Realm Cultivators will come to slaughter."

"That is why those Prison Race and Demon Race cultivators have become incredibly active now."

"Before, they were all cautious, hiding their tracks, and only doing some petty thievery."

"But now, they have started committing crimes openly and have even begun attacking the islands of the True Spirit Race."

"They have caused who knows how many bloody cases, making those super races suffer heavy losses."

"Even other Alien cultivators are fishing in troubled waters, disguising themselves as Robber Cultivators and plundering a large amount of resources."

"In short, the Kunpeng Sea Area is now filled with the flames of war everywhere."

Xie Hui said with great emotion, revealing a look of lingering fear.

Because he had been slightly tempted before; this was what is called being restless after a long period of stillness, wanting to go see other parts of the Kunpeng Sea Area.

But after seeing the fate of those companions, he immediately dismissed this idea.

The Kunpeng Sea Area is now more than several times more chaotic than before, with Robber Cultivators everywhere.

One must at least have the strength of the Integration Realm to ensure they will not perish in the flames of war.

As for cultivators below the Integration Realm, they can only pray for their own good fortune.

"It's already this chaotic?"

Wu Di's pupils contracted; when he accidentally arrived at the Shattered Star Sea in the past, this sea area was already very chaotic.

He didn't expect that compared to before, it is now several times more chaotic; it is truly inconceivable.

Without a doubt, it is simply not suitable to take risks in the Kunpeng Sea Area right now.

The Qianmiao Secret Realm can be considered a rare pure land in the Kunpeng Sea Area.

"According to the deductions of those Refining Void Old Ancestors, the maturity of the Boundary Gate may be within these few years."

"Once the Boundary Gate is completely formed, it will be a super war between the major races."

"If one runs out now, they will definitely be caught in the war, and at that time, no matter where they go, they will die."

"So, basically no one dares to leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm now; everyone is guarding their own little plot of land."

"Anyway, for us Human Race, there is no place safer than the Qianmiao Secret Realm."

Xie Hui could be considered to have completely dismissed the idea of leaving the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

Before, wanting to leave the Qianmiao Secret Realm was purely because he had nothing better to do, and he simply couldn't realize the dangers of the outside world.

After some bold Human cultivators died, many people dismissed the thought of leaving.

Clearly, Humans have been at ease for too long and have begun to forget the dangers of the outside world.

"Indeed."

Wu Di couldn't help but nod, fully agreeing with this point.

As the famous Wu Paopao, his precognition for danger is astonishing; he is crystal clear about what places he can stay in and what places he cannot.

Now he is staying in the Qianmiao Secret Realm, very comfortable, and he is not lacking in cultivation resources; only a fool would go outside to take risks.

Staying in the Qianmiao Secret Realm and using the resources of the Qianmiao Secret Realm to slowly improve one's cultivation—isn't that good?

The opportunities outside are indeed many, but the mortality rate is also very high.

If he could, he would still like to advance safely, even if the speed is a bit slow, it doesn't matter.

"How are the fishing grounds in our Qianmiao Secret Realm now?"

Wu Di asked curiously.

After all, the fishing grounds concern the common interests of all Human cultivators; if there were no fishing grounds, where would there be enough Wild Beast meat to eat? The price of meat would definitely rise crazily.

"As for that, since the mist of our Qianmiao Secret Realm has shrouded one hundred million kilometers of sea area."

"The fishing grounds where we can capture Wild Beasts have naturally expanded many times compared to before."

"More Wild Beasts can be caught every day."

"Now, the Wild Beasts inside the Mist Sea are simply countless, as if it has become a nest for Wild Beasts."

"Not only are there a large number of Spirit Transformation Wild Beasts and Refining Void Wild Beasts, but there are also a bunch of Integration Wild Beasts."

"Occasionally, one or two Great Vehicle Wild Beasts even appear."

Xie Hui said with emotion.

He had also once gone to the fishing grounds of the Mist Sea, and seeing the dense Wild Beasts all around, his scalp went numb.

Fortunately, he could return to the Qianmiao Secret Realm at any time.

Otherwise, if he were truly in the nest of Wild Beasts, he would definitely be dead for sure.

If outside cultivators dared to enter the Mist Sea, they would inevitably be attacked by countless Wild Beasts and devoured completely.

It can be said that these Wild Beasts have already become one of the barriers of the Mist Sea.

Without a doubt, let alone wanting to find the entrance and exit of the Qianmiao Secret Realm, it is uncertain whether the enemies could even survive in front of so many Wild Beasts.

"If there are so many Wild Beasts, then how do we hunt these Wild Beasts?"

Wu Di couldn't help but ask.

After all, if there are too many Wild Beasts entering the Mist Sea, it may not necessarily be a good thing for the Human Race.

Because the Wild Beasts are simply too powerful and cannot be hunted at all.

Once one acts rashly, they will definitely die.

"There is absolutely no need to worry about this."

"Perhaps you don't know yet, but the number of Integration Stage Wild Beasts tamed by Senior Zhou has already exceeded five hundred."

"Lian Xu Realm Wild Beasts exceed seventy thousand."

"It can be said that the Wild Beast army alone is enough to crush this sea area."

"So this place will only become our fishing ground."

"Relying on the power of the Wild Beast army, it is simply invincible."

Xie Hui said triumphantly.

What?!

Once these words were spoken, Wu Di was completely stunned, simply dumbfounded.

Although he also knew that Senior Zhou had mastered the ability to tame Wild Beasts, he had not expected it to be this terrifying.

Not to mention the Lian Xu Realm Wild Beasts; their numbers were beyond imagination.

The problem lay with the Integration Stage Wild Beasts.

These were a full five hundred Integration Stage Wild Beasts, not just any stray cats or dogs.

That they were actually tamed so easily by Senior Zhou and became members of the Human Race is truly inconceivable.

One must know that in the past, the Human Race only had a little over a hundred Integration Great Powers.

But now, they actually possess five hundred Integration Great Powers, equivalent to five hundred Human Race Integration Stage cultivators.

This is truly too exaggerated.

"Is this matter true or false? Are Integration Stage Wild Beasts really that easy to tame?"

Wu Di couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's true; this is something everyone has witnessed."

"The cultivators of those fleets previously gave orders to those Integration Stage Wild Beasts personally; where could there be any possibility of it being fake?"

"However, it is indeed incredible."

"Because many cultivators believed that Senior Zhou's taming secret technique must have a limit—that he could tame Lian Xu Realm Wild Beasts, but might not necessarily be able to tame those Integration Stage ones, and even if he could, the number would be limited."

"But now, we still underestimated Senior Zhou's strength; it is simply beyond imagination."

"The reason he only tamed five hundred Integration Stage Wild Beasts is that he only found five hundred, not that he can only tame that many."

"In short, with so many Integration Stage Wild Beasts, we can be considered as stable as Mount Tai."

Xie Hui said triumphantly.

He felt that the current Human Race was simply tyrannical to an absurd degree; the only flaw was the lack of a Great Vehicle Cultivator.

Once they possess a Great Vehicle Cultivator, that would make up for the Human Race's final shortcoming.

"As expected of Senior Zhou."

After hearing these words, Wu Di was also speechless, not knowing what else to say.

He didn't expect that even today, he still underestimated that famous Senior Zhou.

Taming five hundred Integration Stage Wild Beasts—wouldn't that allow one to walk sideways?!

Unless one encounters a Great Vehicle Cultivator, otherwise, no one is a match.

But how many Great Vehicle Cultivators are there in this sea area? They are not so easy to encounter.

Integration Great Powers are the strongest beings ordinary cultivators can encounter.

As for Great Vehicle Cultivators, they are existences that are like dragons—seeing the head but never the tail.

"I had heard before that once Senior Zhou advanced to Integration, the Human Race's strength would definitely receive an astonishing boost."

"Now it seems that is indeed the case."

"One person advancing is equivalent to hundreds of Integration stages; it is simply terrifying."

Wu Di was very moved; he admired him to the point of prostration.

Although everyone is an Ascender, the gap between them is simply too large.

"That goes without saying."

"However, there is no need to compare with Senior Zhou; that is an existence that can leave a name in Human Race history."

"If Senior Zhou can advance to Great Vehicle, that would be the opportunity for our Human Race to rise."

"Perhaps in the future, our Human Race can also compare to the True Spirit Race."

Xie Hui said very excitedly.

To tell the truth, for him, the stronger the Human Race's strongest expert is, the better.

This is the so-called "when one person attains the Dao, their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

And as Zhou Sui's strength grows stronger, the benefits they can enjoy naturally increase.

"If it were really like that, that would be great."

Wu Di was also very expectant.

Although he felt that the Human Race becoming a True Spirit Race was almost impossible, who dares to say one hundred percent?

Perhaps in the future, Senior Zhou will truly be comparable to a True Spirit, and then he will be invincible.

Of course, even if he cannot compare to a True Spirit, as long as he becomes a Great Vehicle Cultivator, that is enough to protect the Human Race.

…………

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed.

Wu Di also applied to the City Lord Mansion for the right to use Dujie Island. Sure enough, just as Xie Hui said, there were not many cultivators undergoing tribulation now, and there was no need to queue at all.

He had only just applied, and he could use Dujie Island the very next day.

The location of Dujie Island was not near Fengxi Island, but an Empty Island quite far from Fengxi Island, but he could take the Teleportation Array to go directly to Dujie Island.

Boom~~

Not long after, Wu Di took the Teleportation Array and arrived directly at Dujie Island.

He saw that the place where he stood was simply a barren island, covering an area of over ten thousand kilometers, with no plants growing in the surroundings, only some soil and gravel.

Huge deep pits appeared on the ground, along with scorched black colors.

Clearly, this place had no idea how many times it had experienced Thunder Tribulation.

The entire island had no idea how many times it had been bombarded.

However, only such a barren island could become a place for Cultivators to undergo tribulation.

If it were an island rich in resources, and tribulations occurred frequently, wouldn't that destroy such a place of survival?!

Therefore, choosing a barren island as a place for tribulation was the correct choice.

Rumble—

Immediately, Wu Di did not hesitate, swallowed the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill, broke through to Refining Void directly, and triggered the Heart Demon Tribulation.

With the help of the Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill, he easily promoted to Refining Void and simultaneously passed the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Immediately after, thick tribulation clouds appeared above the sky, rumbling and resounding.

Streaks of thick Tribulation Lightning flickered, causing one to tremble uncontrollably, emitting a destructive aura.

"Well come."

Wu Di was very excited; he knew that once he passed the Thunder Tribulation, he would be a Refining Void Old Ancestor in the future.

Several more days passed.

He had also passed the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation with no danger, successfully promoting to a Refining Void Cultivator.

But his face was ashen, and he had lingering fears.

"I didn't expect the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation to be so terrifying; no wonder so many Transformation God Cultivators died under the Thunder Tribulation."

"Fortunately, Dujie Island has Thunder Spirits, which can help weaken the power of the Thunder Tribulation by forty percent."

"Otherwise, this time would likely have been more ominous than auspicious."

Wu Di suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes revealing an excited expression as he felt the pure Refining Void Dharma Power within his body.

After this tribulation, he finally knew why Dujie Island could weaken the Thunder Tribulation by forty percent.

It was because of the special elemental creatures, the Thunder Spirits.

These Thunder Spirits were formless and bodiless, resembling purple thunder balls, appearing and disappearing within Dujie Island.

When a Cultivator underwent tribulation, they would appear above the tribulation clouds and devour the Tribulation Lightning.

In this way, the power of the Thunder Tribulation would be continuously devoured by them, weakening the might of the Thunder Tribulation.

It was precisely because of this that he was able to pass the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation with ease.

If these Thunder Spirits did not exist, he feared that this time would also have been more ominous than auspicious for him.

But due to the help of the Thunder Spirits, he had also passed the Refining Void Thunder Tribulation with no danger and with ease.

"It is truly inconceivable that creatures like Thunder Spirits exist in the world."

"I am afraid that even the True Spirit Race could not possibly possess such special elemental creatures."

"Perhaps such elemental creatures are not from the Spirit World, but from the mysterious and unfathomable Immortal World."

"In other words, the encounters of Senior Zhou are simply inconceivable; perhaps he obtained a complete Immortal Mansion, or even obtained the inheritance of some Immortal from the upper realm."

"Moreover, Senior Zhou doing this may not be entirely to help Human Race Cultivators undergo tribulation; perhaps it is also because the power of the Tribulation Lightning is of great help to the growth of the Thunder Spirits."

"But this is also a matter of course; no one would do something without any benefits."

"And doing this is beneficial to everyone; it can be considered mutual help, so why not do it?"

Wu Di's eyes flickered, and he instantly realized that the appearance of the Thunder Spirits might have been intentional by Senior Zhou, likely wanting to use the Tribulation Lightning born from the many Cultivators undergoing tribulation to feed the Thunder Spirits.

Although weakening the Thunder Tribulation would lead to the Cultivators receiving much less Creation Qi, at least the Cultivators could survive.

If one even lost their life, how much Creation Qi remained afterwards would have nothing to do with you.

And if one truly cared about the lack of Creation Qi and had a one hundred percent certainty of successfully passing the tribulation, one could actually choose not to use Dujie Island.

One could completely go to other places to undergo tribulation.

The City Lord Mansion did not force Cultivators to use Dujie Island.

Clearly, this was an opportunity for choice that Senior Zhou gave to the many Cultivators.

However, it was very obvious that the vast majority of Cultivators did not have the strength to resist the might of the Thunder Tribulation.

Even he was like this.

With the help of the Thunder Spirits, it was equivalent to obtaining a precious item for tribulation, and the benefits within made many Alien Cultivators envious.

Being able to become a Refining Void Cultivator was the correct path; the missing Creation Qi could be fully made up for afterwards.

If he had really died under the Tribulation Lightning, then he would truly have no way to even cry.

Swoosh!

Not long after, Wu Di took the Teleportation Array and returned directly to Fengxi Island.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Wu, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Wu, for finally promoting to Refining Void."

At this moment, Xie Hui immediately offered congratulations to Wu Di, an expression of envy appearing on his face.

The Cultivators around the Teleportation Array also offered their congratulations one after another.

Because this meant that there was one more Refining Void Old Ancestor in the Qianmiao Secret Realm.

Although the number of Refining Void Old Ancestors had indeed increased quite a bit during this period, compared to the vast population, Refining Void Old Ancestors still belonged to the high-level big shots, existing with enough power to hold great authority.

From Transformation God to Refining Void, that could be called stepping into the sky in one leap.

"No need for formalities; Fellow Daoist Xie promoting to Refining Void is also a matter of time."

"With the protection of Dujie Island, if you also obtain a Two-Yi Void-Breaking Pill, wouldn't you becoming a Refining Void Old Ancestor be a sure thing?"

"Promoting to Refining Void now is not as difficult as it was before."

Wu Di said with great emotion.

Although he was very happy about his own promotion to Refining Void, he also knew that due to the changes in the Qianmiao Secret Realm, the difficulty of becoming a Refining Void Cultivator in the future had been lowered by who knows how many times.

Perhaps in a few thousand years, Refining Void Old Ancestors will no longer be worth much.

"Then I shall accept the kind words of Fellow Daoist Wu."

Xie Hui smiled, and the gloom in his heart vanished quite a bit; he immediately became high-spirited, thinking that since even Wu Di could do it, there was no reason he couldn't, and sooner or later he would also become a Refining Void Old Ancestor.

Rumble—

Just at this moment, a huge black tribulation cloud suddenly gathered above the sky, completely shrouding the sky over Fengxi Island, seemingly spreading for a million kilometers.

"What is going on? Why is someone undergoing a tribulation on Fengxi Island? Who has such great audacity to dare violate the rules of the Qianmiao Secret Realm?" Xie Hui frowned.

One must know that ever since Dujie Island appeared, no one dared to undergo tribulation within the islands.

Basically, those undergoing tribulation would all transfer to Dujie Island.

This was also to prevent causing massive damage to the city when the Thunder Tribulation descended.

But now, someone actually dared to defy the world's common practice; it was truly outrageous.

"No, I'm afraid this is not someone undergoing a tribulation; this should be a Pill Tribulation."

"And it is the famous Eight-Rank Pill Tribulation."

Wu Di's pupils contracted, his eyes staring fixedly at the black tribulation cloud above the sky, simply shocked beyond measure.

It was as if he were seeing a scene from a legend.

"Eight-Rank Pill Tribulation? Who else in the Qianmiao Secret Realm could trigger an Eight-Rank Pill Tribulation?"

"Wait, could it be Senior Zhou? Is he refining an Eight-Rank Pill?"

Thinking of this, Xie Hui could not help but gasp, a look of terror involuntarily appearing on his face.

He also immediately thought of a shocking possibility.

"That's right, perhaps Senior Zhou is already an Eight-Rank Alchemist."

Wu Di said with great emotion; he had long since been shocked into numbness by Zhou Sui and now could not say a single word.

After all, this was an Eight-Rank Alchemist.

Previously, the Human Race had never seen the existence of an Eight-Rank Alchemist; this should be the first one.

Even among the True Spirit Race, those who could truly become Eight-Rank Alchemists were still few and far between.

Who could have imagined that Zhou Sui could actually become an Eight-Rank Alchemist?

If this matter were to spread, it would definitely shake the Spirit World, and even the True Spirit Race would treat Zhou Sui as an honored guest.

After all, those who can refine Eight-Rank Treasure Pills are extremely rare throughout the entire Spirit World.

Of course, such an Eight-Rank Pill Tribulation also alarmed all the Cultivators on Fengxi Island.

Many high-level Cultivators were knowledgeable people and naturally knew what this was.

"Eight-Rank Pill Tribulation? Senior Zhou is indeed unfathomable."

"I originally thought it would take Senior Zhou some time to become an Eight-Rank Alchemist; I didn't expect him to succeed so quickly."

"Damn it, why don't you all look very surprised? This is an Eight-Rank Alchemist, a type of existence that has never appeared in the history of the Human Race in the Spirit World, and you have this kind of expression."

"Heh, what do you know? Ever since Senior Zhou successfully built the Eighth-Order Array and the Qianmiao Secret Realm, no matter what amazing things Senior Zhou does, I won't feel surprised anymore."

"Isn't that so? What does a mere Eight-Rank Alchemist count for? Let's wait until the Senior becomes a Great Vehicle Cultivator to be surprised; I even feel that it wouldn't be difficult for Senior Zhou to become an immortal."

"That's right, we would only be surprised if Senior Zhou couldn't do it; isn't it a matter of course that he did? It's been hundreds of years, don't you understand Senior Zhou's brilliance yet?"

"That is indeed the case, but I am indeed slightly surprised because the speed of progress is simply too fast. Senior Zhou is truly a heaven-sent genius; this can be considered a great fortune for our Human Race."

Numerous Refining Void Cultivators discussed it among themselves.

Their expressions were very calm; they were all accustomed to this matter, feeling that Zhou Sui becoming an Eight-Rank Alchemist was a matter of course, and it would be abnormal if he couldn't.

…………

At this very moment, the City Lord Mansion.

A courtyard.

Bai Sujie, Hua Siqing, Shi Yuxi, Tao Qili, and Fengxi Daoren, the five women, were all here drinking tea and chatting.

Each one was delicate and charming, full of allure, and incomparably fascinating.

It was simply enough to make one drool.

After many years of cultivation, their charm had been thoroughly developed; if they were to leave this place, they would all be enough to become enchantresses who could wreak havoc on the world.

"Eight-Rank Pill Tribulation? My husband has really become an Eight-Rank Alchemist."

Bai Sujie's beautiful eyes were filled with joy; she also saw the tribulation cloud gathering above the sky.

She naturally knew that her man had been practicing his Alchemy skills during this period.

Having reached today, he finally achieved a breakthrough and was promoted to the Eight-Rank realm.

This was simply a qualitative improvement.

"It is a matter of course for my husband to become an Eight-Rank Alchemist."

"But since it has triggered an Eight-Rank Pill Tribulation, it means my husband is refining an Eight-Rank Treasure Pill."

"What kind of Eight-Rank Treasure Pill is my husband refining?"

Shi Yuxi asked with great curiosity.

"As for that, if I am not mistaken, what my husband is refining should be the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill."

"The reason my husband wanted to become an Eight-Rank Alchemist all along was to refine the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill for Fengxi Sister, to help Fengxi Sister ascend to the Great Vehicle realm."

"Now it seems that after spending so much time, he has indeed succeeded."

Hua Siqing smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes looking at Fengxi Daoren.

"In that case, once the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill is successfully refined, I am afraid Fengxi's promotion to Great Vehicle will be a sure thing."

Tao Qili said with great emotion.

She also never expected that her sister would actually be able to step into the Great Vehicle Realm one day.

This is the supreme realm that countless Cultivators dream of, and it is also the starting point for becoming a True Immortal.

Within the entire Spirit World, including the True Spirit Race, how many Cultivators can truly become Great Vehicle?

"Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill?"

Hearing these words, Feng Xi Daoren's pretty face flushed red, her beautiful eyes flickering; a ripple could not help but surge in her heart—this man was helping her so much, so how could she ever repay him?

……

Time moves back a little bit.

Fengxi Island, City Lord Mansion, Alchemy Room.

"Finally, I have cultivated the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace Art to the Master Realm."

Zhou Sui sat cross-legged on the ground, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes.

Over the past fifty years, he had been constantly honing his Alchemy techniques, and the proficiency of his Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace Art had also been continuously improving; today, he finally elevated this Alchemy technique to the Master Realm.

This is also the most perfect realm for this cultivation technique.

Only by cultivating this Alchemy technique to the Master Realm is it possible to be promoted to an Eight-Rank Alchemist.

Do not look at the Seven-Tier Alchemist and Eight-Rank Alchemist as only differing by one level; in reality, they are worlds apart.

Even among many Great Vehicle Cultivators, those who wish to become Eight-Rank Alchemists are few and far between.

So one can imagine how scarce the number of Eight-Rank Alchemists is and how great the difficulty is; it is simply not something ordinary people can imagine.

Boom—

Zhou Sui operated the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace Art; the Yin and Yang Qi, the Five Elements Qi, and the Void Force between heaven and earth gathered within it, instantly condensing into a Void Furnace, upon which dense, mysterious Talismans appeared.

Having reached the Master Realm, the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace Art is already capable of smelting all things.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

In an instant, with a movement of his mind, he immediately threw the Eighth-Rank Spiritual Medicine stalks into this Void Furnace, the main medicine being the Zhou Tian Star Soul Fruit; immediately, the endless power within the furnace began to smelt these Spiritual Medicines.

Stalk after stalk of Spiritual Medicine was instantly smelted, impurities were expelled, and the essence remained.

Clearly, at this moment when the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace Art was cultivated to the Master Realm, he no longer needed any Pill furnace; he was fully capable of performing Alchemy in the Void, utilizing the power of heaven and earth to smelt Pills.

Clang!

At this very moment, Zhou Sui had a flash of inspiration; countless experiences from previous Alchemy sessions gathered together, like countless sparks of wisdom colliding.

His body shook, and he instantly achieved a massive breakthrough.

The realm of an Eight-Rank Alchemist!

In this instant, he perceived that he had seemingly stepped into the realm of an Eight-Rank Alchemist with ease.

But this was also the result of accumulated efforts, a flash of inspiration, and the added effect of the Book Gu.

"If a Seven-Tier Treasure Pill integrates Void Force to form a Void Barrier, capable of containing countless medicinal powers, then one Pill is equivalent to containing a small-scale barrier."

"Then an Eight-Rank Treasure Pill goes a step further; it needs to borrow the power of Heavenly Law and integrate the Dao rhyme of the laws; only in this way is it possible to refine an Eight-Rank Treasure Pill."

"Because for Great Vehicle Cultivators, Pills that merely improve Dharma Power actually have little effect; what is more important is the ability to enhance one's own comprehension of the mysteries of the laws."

"Once one has comprehended a portion of the mysteries of the laws, then Dharma Power will naturally advance by leaps and bounds; there is no need to consume any Pills at all."

"Therefore, Eight-Rank Treasure Pills can also be called Dao Rhyme Golden Cores."

Zhou Sui suddenly realized.

He now instantly understood why Eight-Rank Alchemists were so rare, practically like giant pandas.

Because Eight-Rank Treasure Pills are no longer just a fusion of medicinal power; more importantly, it is the fusion of the Dao rhyme of the laws. If one cannot capture a trace of the Dao rhyme of the laws between heaven and earth and integrate it into the Eight-Rank Treasure Pill, then it is absolutely impossible to successfully refine an Eight-Rank Treasure Pill.

The problem is, capturing a trace of the Dao rhyme of Heavenly Law is not such a simple matter.

Many Alchemists, even if they spend their entire lives, cannot perceive a single trace of the Dao rhyme of the laws.

To a certain extent, Eight-Rank Treasure Pills can also be called the prototype of Immortal Pills.

It is no wonder that the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill only appears in the Immortal World and has basically never appeared in the Spirit World.

It is not just that the Spiritual Medicine is difficult to find; even the Alchemist capable of refining such an Eight-Rank Treasure Pill is hard to find.

"If one wants to successfully refine a Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill, smelting many Eighth-Rank Spiritual Medicines and expelling impurities is merely a basic skill; just doing this is not enough to successfully refine this kind of Pill."

"Beyond that, one also needs to capture a trace of the Dao rhyme of Star Law, as well as the Dao rhyme of Soul Law."

"Then, integrate these Dao rhymes of the laws into the Golden Core, into the medicinal power."

"Only in this way can one be considered to have successfully refined an Eight-Rank Treasure Pill."

Zhou Sui's eyes revealed a glimmer of light; countless insights into Alchemy flowed through his heart. With the help of the Book Gu, his comprehension of being an Eight-Rank Alchemist had now improved geometrically.

He could also be considered to know the difficulty of refining Eight-Rank Pills; the appearance of even a single one would be enough to make countless Cultivators drool with envy.

No wonder the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill can help an Integration Great Power be promoted to Great Vehicle.

Because this Eight-Rank Treasure Pill contains a trace of the Dao rhyme of Star Law; after consuming it, one will gain the protection of Star power, which not only strengthens the physique but also causes a Star barrier to appear on the body, which can block Thunder Tribulation to a certain extent.

It also contains a trace of the Dao rhyme of Soul Law, which can help the primordial spirit of an Integration Great Power obtain rapid improvement, and can even help an Integration Great Power comprehend the mysteries of Heavenly Law.

Therefore, the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill can be called an Immortal Pill for an Integration Great Power; it can be said to have infinite wonderful uses.

Even in the Immortal World, such Eight-Rank Treasure Pills are extremely rare.

Boom—

Although he had many insights, Zhou Sui did not stop; his hands formed seals, constantly driving the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace Art.

Within the furnace, the many Eighth-Rank Spiritual Medicines were rapidly smelted; large amounts of impurities turned into wisps of black mist, scattering in all directions and disappearing into the Void.

Under the urging of the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace, countless medicinal vapors collided with each other, subsequently increasing in concentration and turning into Spirit Liquid; drop after drop of Spirit Liquid fused together, actually forming a golden Pill that was solid throughout, almost condensing into substance.

But if it were only this, it would merely be a dead Pill.

Without the existence of the Dao rhyme of the laws, it is impossible to refine it into an Eight-Rank Treasure Pill.

"I must capture a trace of the Dao rhyme of the Soul Law, as well as the Dao rhyme of the Star Law."

A glimmer of light appeared in Zhou Sui's eyes.

To capture the Dao rhyme of the laws, the best method is naturally to borrow the power of Eighth-Rank Spiritual Medicine.

The level of every Eighth-Rank Spiritual Medicine is actually comparable to a Great Vehicle Realm Cultivator.

Within their bodies, they inherently contain traces of the Dao rhyme of the laws.

However, ordinary cultivators simply cannot perceive it at all.

Top-tier alchemists can use their Primordial Spirit Power to stir up the Dao rhyme of the laws within the Eighth-Rank Spiritual Medicine and integrate it into the Pill.

However, wanting to achieve this is simply incomparably difficult.

But this is not an impossible matter either.

As long as one's Primordial Spirit Power is sufficiently strong and sensitive, one will certainly be able to achieve this.

It just so happens that Zhou Sui also meets these conditions.

Firstly, his Primordial Spirit Power has long been more powerful than that of ordinary Great Vehicle Cultivators; secondly, he has cultivated the Seven Apertures Exquisite Book, condensed the Heart Eye, and possesses Heart Eye Power.

Such Heart Eye Power is infinitely profound and can discern the deeper mysteries of the world.

Among them are also the mysteries of the Heavenly Law.

This is why this cultivation technique is called an Immortal Technique and is the foundation of the Qingyun Sect of the former Immortal World.

Rumble~~

As Zhou Sui's Heart Eye Power and Primordial Spirit Power continuously delved into the essence of the Spiritual Medicine, he immediately perceived traces of the Dao rhyme of the laws contained deep within the medicinal liquid of the Zhou Tian Star Soul Fruit.

It was as if these wisps of Dao rhyme existed within the body of this spirit fruit itself.

It was just that no one had been able to stir these wisps of Dao rhyme out before.

At this moment, he seemed to perceive the depths of the endless Void, where countless stars were gestated, emitting a deep blue light and drawing upon the majestic Star Law.

At the same time, he also saw that in the depths of the Void, it was as if countless souls were hidden in the depths of the dimensions, living and dying.

Vaguely, wisps of the Law of Line were hidden within, unfathomable.

"Is this the Dao rhyme of the laws contained within Eighth-Rank Spiritual Medicine?"

Zhou Sui exclaimed in wonder.

In fact, this is the cultivation method of an alchemist; all things have spirits.

When Spiritual Medicine grows to the Eight-Tier realm, it has survived for at least one hundred thousand years, and its medicinal power is astonishing.

In the process of growing, it naturally absorbs wisps of the Dao rhyme of the laws.

Only alchemists above the Eight-Tier can perceive the existence of the Dao rhyme of the laws in Eighth-Rank Spiritual Medicine.

If it is a more brilliant alchemist, they can comprehend the mysteries of the laws through the Dao rhyme of the laws.

It is precisely because of this that even if an alchemist does not step out of their door, merely by practicing Alchemy, they can continuously improve their cultivation.

As long as one continuously improves their Alchemy skills, one can naturally improve.

"Smelt."

In an instant, Zhou Sui had a flash of inspiration; he realized that if he did not capture these wisps of the Dao rhyme of the laws, then his Alchemy this time would inevitably fail.

Because these Dao rhymes of the laws are fleeting, they would instantly merge into the depths of the Void and disappear without a trace.

He performed the Dharma seal and operated the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace Art.

At the same time, his Primordial Spirit Power wrapped around them at the first moment, capturing a wisp of the Soul Law's Dao rhyme and a wisp of the Star Law's Dao rhyme, completely sealing them with Primordial Spirit Power, and then merging them into this furnace.

Immediately following, this Dao rhyme of the laws instantly merged into this Treasure Pill.

Suddenly, this Treasure Pill emitted endless light, extremely brilliant, like a scorching sun, releasing infinite heat, as if it were about to burn and collapse this piece of the Void.

At this moment, the countless medicinal Qi within the Pill, as well as the Dao rhyme of the laws, seemed to want to struggle from within.

They continuously collided and exploded.

The Pill that had originally condensed seemed to have signs of collapsing, and dense cracks appeared all around it.

"Seal the Pill."

Zhou Sui drew upon the power of the Heaven and Earth Void, which also merged into this Treasure Pill, and immediately a layer of transparent Void barrier appeared on the outer shell of this Treasure Pill.

It was precisely this transparent Void barrier that intercepted the dissipation of the medicinal power within the Pill and intercepted the departure of the Dao rhyme of the laws.

Vaguely, on the surface of this Treasure Pill, Danyun actually emerged.

It was as if it contained traces of the Dao rhyme of the laws.

Thump, thump, thump~~

Immediately, these Dao rhymes and medicinal Qi continuously bombarded the Void Pill shell, but no matter how they collided, they could not break through the outer shell of the Pill and had to remain inside the Pill.

This is the Pill-sealing method of an Eight-Rank Alchemist, which can seal the Dao rhyme and seal the medicinal Qi, thereby causing all the medicinal power to merge into the Golden Core, producing the best reaction and smelting all the medicinal power.

"No, it's not enough; the medicinal power is not condensed enough. I'm afraid I need the assistance of the Pill Tribulation."

"Only by borrowing the power of the Pill Tribulation can the Eight-Rank Treasure Pill be completely condensed and successful."

At this very moment, Zhou Sui looked up at the sky and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds and layers of Tribulation clouds.

A terrifying aura permeated the surroundings, as if the sky itself were shattering, and Void Cracks appeared one after another.

This was simply heart-stopping and trembling.

Clearly, the aura released by his Alchemy this time had long since triggered the Heavenly Tribulation.

But if one wants to successfully refine an Eight-Rank Treasure Pill, the assistance of the Heavenly Tribulation is also indispensable.

One must borrow the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation to allow the medicinal power of this Treasure Pill to condense, be tempered a thousand times, and form a flawless Treasure Pill.

Thump, thump, thump!!!

The next second, in the sky, golden Tribulation Lightning descended from the heavens, releasing a destructive aura, as if it wanted to completely destroy this Treasure Pill that had seized the creation of heaven and earth.

Immediately, this golden Tribulation Lightning fiercely struck the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring.

However, it was as if it had struck a massive iron ball, sending sparks flying in all directions, leaving it completely unscathed.

On the contrary, such hammering only made the medicinal power of this Treasure Pill even more condensed.

"Not bad."

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sui was very satisfied; the Treasure Pill he had refined this time was quite decent, sufficiently condensed and free of any impurities, which was why it could withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.

To a certain extent, such a Treasure Pill was comparable to a Dharma Treasure, capable of enduring the hammering of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Of course, if the Heavenly Tribulation were too fierce, the pill furnace condensed from the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace Art could also block the Heavenly Tribulation, weakening part of its power to prevent the Golden Core from dissipating into the heavens and earth.

If all else failed, one could also borrow the power of the Tribulation Thunder Gu to weaken the Thunder Tribulation.

Naturally, doing so might cause the quality of the Treasure Pill to decline.

However, looking at it now, there was clearly no need to do these extra things.

This Golden Core alone was capable of resisting the Eight-Rank Pill Tribulation.

This Pill Tribulation lasted for a full three hours.

When the final bolt of Tribulation Lightning struck the Treasure Pill, the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill suddenly burst forth with endless azure light, appearing as if it had formed a star-like Treasure Pill, incomparably brilliant.

At the same time, a full eight Danyun appeared on the surface of the Treasure Pill, appearing unfathomable and infinitely profound.

An Eight-Tier mid-grade Treasure Pill!

Normally, an ordinary Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill is only an Eight-Tier low-grade Pill, which would manifest seven Danyun.

But if the quality is excellent, it will advance to the Eight-Tier mid-grade level, forming eight Danyun.

If it were perfect and flawless, it might even be elevated to Eight-Tier high-grade, forming nine Danyun.

This is what is known as a Nine-Pattern Treasure Pill, which is basically the highest grade of Pill in the Spirit World.

As for higher-grade Immortal Pills, they cannot exist in the Spirit World.

Even the most brilliant alchemist cannot refine an Immortal Pill; after all, there are no Immortal Medicines in the Spirit World.

A clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice.

"Finally refined the Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill; I must be an Eight-Tier low-grade alchemist now."

"If an Eight-Tier low-grade Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill can increase the probability of an Integration Stage cultivator advancing to Great Vehicle by over fifty percent."

"Then an Eight-Tier mid-grade Zhou Tian Star Soul Pill can increase the success probability by at least eighty percent or more."

"If it were Eight-Tier high-grade, then even an Integration Stage cultivator as dim-witted as a pig would surely be able to advance to Great Vehicle."

Zhou Sui clenched his fists, feeling very excited.

He also sensed the profoundness of the Pill, which was simply infinitely mysterious.

Every time one refines a Pill, it is actually a process of comprehending the Great Dao of heaven and earth; it is absolutely not just about refining pills.
