Chapter 191: The Transformation of Hong Yi

"Finally here!"

Outside the Jinghai Military Camp, Hong Yi looked at the camp stretching for over ten miles and could not help but exclaim in admiration.

Compared to when he was in Huangliang Town, his team had grown significantly larger.

Jin Xun'er, the granddaughter of the Golden Spider King, followed Hong Yi just as she did in the original story.

The two sisters, Hua Nongying and Hua Nongyue of the Yaochi Sect, also chose to follow him.

For this reason, the two sisters gifted twenty Bone Refining Martial Masters to Hong Yi.

Of course, Hong Yi himself was no longer the person he once was.

That night, Su Mu visited, wanting to cultivate him into the next Sect Master of the Supreme Dao, but Hong Yi refused without the slightest hesitation, because the Supreme Dao required one to forget emotions and sever righteousness, something he could never do.

For instance, the vengeance for his mother; if he did not avenge her, he would not be willing to become a Yang God, let alone the Sect Master of the Supreme Dao.

Although he refused Su Mu, Su Mu was not annoyed; instead, she gave him quite a few cultivation resources.

For example, the Ren Yuan Great Pill of the Supreme Dao.

The Ren Yuan Great Pill, a secret medicine of the Supreme Dao, could consolidate essence and energy, eliminate hidden bodily ailments, and increase potential.

It was only after taking the Ren Yuan Great Pill that Hong Yi cultivated all the way to the Marrow Refining Stage.

A Marrow Refining Grandmaster was a powerhouse anywhere in the world.

Not only that, his Daoism had also broken through to Manifestation, and his Qi Refining had reached the fourth level.

"It's a pity, although my cultivation speed is fast, it is still far behind Brother Yin. I wonder what realm he has reached now. I must go pay him a visit after I get settled."

Yin Qi was the Commander of the Fifth Command; having him here for training in the Jinghai Army meant he had someone to look out for him.

………

The South Sea was vast and boundless; because the weather was hot and humid, there were frequent thunderstorms.

For the sake of safety, many Daoists would come to the South Sea for Tribulation Transcendence; for one, it was not easy for enemies to discover them, and for another, they did not have to wait idly for the weather.

Deep in the South Sea, within a certain cloud layer.

Boom—!

Dark clouds obscured the sun, with lightning flashing and thunder rolling.

No one knew that deep within the clouds, someone was actually refining pills in the Thunder Layer.

In the sixth layer of thunder, there was exploding lightning everywhere.

These lightning bolts were terrifyingly powerful; even a single arc of electricity was enough to make a Ghost Immortal vanish into ashes. At the same time, it was filled with dense Thunder True Qi, which was also extremely violent and saturated with the might of Heaven and Earth.

Yin Qi resided within the Thunder Layer, and the surrounding lightning became much more docile under his control.

He split himself into a thousand, a thousand versions of himself refining pills simultaneously.

One could see portions of spiritual herbs being continuously taken out, their impurities refined away by the lightning he controlled, leaving only the pure medicinal essence. Then, various essences were fused together, and he continuously formed hand seals, casting one Alchemy Array after another.

Under the effect of the various Alchemy Arrays, the essences of the spiritual herbs fused with one another, undergoing an incredible transformation.

Very quickly, pill after pill was continuously refined.

Compared to Ordinary Pills, the pills refined with lightning possessed an extra, majestic vitality, and their medicinal effects were also better, because during the alchemy process, Yin Qi had refined a wisp of the lightning's Creation Power into the pills.

Not only that, the success rate of the pill formation was also higher.

In just three days, Yin Qi traveled to several locations and finally refined all the spiritual herbs into pills, including one thousand Internal Organ Pills, five hundred Marrow Cleansing Pills, one hundred Blood Quenching Pills, one thousand Qi Gathering Pills, and three hundred Condensing Yuan Pills.

The Condensing Yuan Pills were refined for his own use; one Condensing Yuan Pill was worth five days of bitter cultivation.

As for the Qi Gathering Pills, he only kept them for his own women to use.

Immortal cultivation was something that had just emerged; if Qi Gathering Pills appeared immediately, it would be hard not to make people think too much.

As for the other pills, he would keep half, and let Zhao Feirong and Yao Qinghui split the rest equally; it would be enough for them to cultivate a large number of experts.

Although he did not need them, the Yin Duke Mansion, the Longxiang Earl Mansion, and the four people he had subdued—Tu Yuan and Bai Fengxian—still needed these pills to improve themselves and cultivate trusted subordinates, so as to seize control of their respective sects.

………

Yaochi Sect.

Yulian Mountain, in a certain courtyard.

Yao Qinghui was wearing thin loungewear, with a large expanse of snow-white skin exposed to the air.

She stood in the courtyard gazing at the moon, her eyes unfocused, as if she were pondering a problem.

"Who!"

Suddenly, Yao Qinghui woke up with a start and shouted, only to see the void in front of her shatter, and a person stepped out from within.

It was Yin Qi!

"Ear... Earl!"

Yao Qinghui's pupils dilated, revealing an expression of disbelief.

This was tearing through the void, and doing so while bringing his physical body along—what kind of cultivation was this!

Six Thunder Tribulations!

A terrifying thought appeared in Yao Qinghui's mind; she even forgot that her clothes were thin at this moment.

"Ahem!"

Yin Qi coughed lightly, shifted his gaze away unobtrusively, and said, "The pills have already been refined. Because it is a matter of great importance, I have delivered them personally."

As he spoke, he waved his long sleeves, and a large stack of jade boxes appeared on the stone table nearby.

These jade boxes were the ones previously used to hold the spiritual herbs.

Yin Qi continued, "There are a total of three hundred Internal Organ Pills, one hundred and fifty Marrow Cleansing Pills, thirty Blood Quenching Pills, and two hundred Qi Gathering Pills here. You know about the other three types of pills; these Qi Gathering Pills are for those in the Qi Refining Realm, so you and Yue should just take them; do not let them spread to the outside."

Yao Qinghui had not yet finished being shocked before she was overwhelmed by a huge, pleasant surprise.

Thirty Blood Quenching Pills—wouldn't that mean she could create thirty Martial Saints!

It was just a pity that the Yaochi Sect did not have that many Martial Saint seeds; there were only twelve Marrow Refining Grandmasters, though she could indeed cultivate a few of them into mid-level or even high-level Martial Saints.

And there are Qi Gathering Pills; wouldn't that mean she and Yueru could very quickly cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Realm!

Although she had emptied the treasury, compared to these Pills, that was completely nothing at all.

"Many thanks, Earl!"

After a long while, Yao Qinghui finally came back to her senses, bowing excitedly, completely unaware that as she lowered her head, she exposed her most beautiful scenery, allowing Yin Qi a full view.

Yin Qi felt very awkward; this was, after all, his mother-in-law.

He waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities, I kept half for myself as well. Sect Master Yao, I still have matters to attend to, so I will take my leave."

Without waiting for Yao Qinghui to speak, Yin Qi hurriedly tore through the Xukong Sword Sword Sword and left.

Watching Yin Qi flee in such a panic, Yao Qinghui finally realized that she was dressed a bit too thinly.

Especially when she looked down, her cheeks instantly turned crimson.

She could not help but coquettishly chide, "Little hooligan!"

Yao Qinghui was easy to find; she would certainly be at the Yaochi Sect.

Although Zhao Feirong's residence was uncertain, Yin Qi had controlled her Primordial Spirit, so he could still roughly sense Zhao Feirong's location; she was not at the Daluo Sect, but at a seaside manor in Linhai Province.

Linhai Villa.

Zhao Feirong was in the middle of cultivating when she suddenly opened her eyes wide and saw Yin Qi tear through the Xukong Sword Sword Sword and step out.

"Young Master!"

Zhao Feirong's shock turned into joy, and she threw herself into Yin Qi's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

Yin Qi was already somewhat restless, so he did not hesitate; he held Zhao Feirong and walked toward the bed, simultaneously waving his hand to cut off the space within the room, making it self-contained to prevent any sounds from spreading out.

After the storm of passion, the two savored the lingering afterglow.

After a long while, Yin Qi asked, "Why are you living here instead of returning to the Daluo Sect?"

Zhao Feirong said lazily, "I was originally planning to return to the Daluo Sect, but my mother sent a letter saying she wanted to take me to hunt down Meng Shenji. This time, the Jingyuan Temple, Xuantian Pavilion, and Zhengang Sect have all dispatched many experts, preparing to enter the South Sea to search for Meng Shenji's place of Thunder Tribulation. By the way, Young Master, how did you arrive by tearing through the Xukong Sword Sword Sword? That is an ability only possessed by those who have undergone Six Thunder Tribulations."

Although she knew Yin Qi practiced Daoism and was already a Ghost Immortal, he was still a long way off from the Six Thunder Tribulations.
