Chapter 298: Five-Star Dou Ancestor
When ordinary alchemists refined pills, they could only refine one pill at a time.
This was because refining pills would consume a considerable amount of soul power and a large amount of Dou Qi. Ordinary Alchemists could not persist until the pill was formed.
At the same time, refining multiple pills required much more attention, and a single mistake could lead to the pills being scrapped.
One medicinal cauldron of scrapped herbs for multiple pills would be several times more than one pill. This was something that ordinary Alchemists could not afford.
Xiao Ming dared to do this; no wonder others called him crazy.
If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor's Stream Pulp Pill formula was created by Xiao Ming himself, he would not dare to do such a crazy thing.
Many people became interested in the Alchemist who attracted three Pill Lightings and secretly thought about the names of high-tier Alchemists in the Holy Pill City.
Xiao Ming was naturally unaware of all this. After using the Man-Demon Puppet to resist the three Pill Lightnings, three dazzling rays suddenly surged out from the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron and rushed towards the sky, splitting into three directions and flying away into the distance.
After working so hard, how could Xiao Ming let them escape?
Without any special movements, his soul power quickly chased after the three pills that had not run far and held them with immense force.
The next moment, the three pills shot back and floated in front of him.
All three pills were thumb-sized, light yellow in color, with a texture like glass, and a smooth surface that occasionally had an unusual seven-colored glow as if possessing some spiritual wisdom, which was extremely mysterious.
'Emperor's Stream Pulp Pill, well, it's better to call it Seven-Colored Glazed Emperor Pill. I always feel that Emperor's Stream Pulp Pill was a bit awkward. The Seven-Colored Glazed Emperor Pill can enhance the Dou Qi cultivation, refine the body, and has a certain effect on promoting bloodline evolution in magical beasts.'
'Let's try taking one and see if the effect meets my expectations...'
Glancing at the Man-Demon Puppet that had flown in from the window and had half of its body turned into silver, Xiao Ming waved his hand and put it into the storage ring. Then, he took out two jade bottles and carefully put the Seven-Colored Glazed Emperor Pill in them.
After putting the pills in the storage ring, Xiao Ming opened his mouth and swallowed the remaining Seven-Colored Glazed Emperor Pill in front of him.
The pill dissolved in his mouth, and a strong medicinal power began to flow through his meridians.
...
"Xiao Ming, did you break through to five-star Dou Ancestor?"
Venerable Tian Huo stroked his beard and was the first to speak. The change in Xiao Ming's aura was quite evident, but breaking through several stars in one go in the Dou Ancestor realm was difficult for him to understand. Back in his Dou Ancestor realm days, it took him three to five years to break through to the next star.
"It's just relying on external objects, nothing to be proud of." Xiao Ming didn't feel complacent, after all, his cultivation was obtained by relying on external objects.
"Relying on external objects is also a skill. Back in my day, I didn't even have the opportunity to rely on them." Venerable Tian Huo sighed at Xiao Ming's words.
With a light laugh, Xiao Ming turned his head to look at Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.
"Xian'er, I didn't expect your strength to also break through to five-star Dou Ancestor."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian covered her mouth and chuckled, mimicking Xiao Ming's tone.
"It's just relying on external objects, nothing to be proud of."
Xiao Ming chuckled at her reply. He knew that when she said this, she meant that she had broken through by relying on poison. However, daring to tease him like this...
Drawing closer to her, Xiao Ming's warm breath tickled Xiao Yi Xian's ear as he whispered a few words to her. Immediately, her cheeks flushed with a deep shade of red as she felt a sudden rush of heat between her legs. Her body quivered with anticipation, knowing what was to come later that night.
After this, Xiao Ming turned to look at Qing Lin.
"Qing Lin, you have broken through to nine-star Dou King. How is your cultivation progressing? The bottleneck from the Dou King to the Dou Emperor realm is a difficult one."
"It still requires some time, Young Master." After watching the intimate exchange between the two with a hint of envy in her gaze, Qing Lin replied with a somewhat dejected tone.
"Oh, I happen to know about a baptism happening in the Southern Region. I can't go because I need to participate in the Pill Tower competition, but I'll have your sister take you there tomorrow."
Qing Lin had no objections to his arrangement, and neither did Xiao Yi Xian.
After telling Xiao Yi Xian the time and location of the baptism, they all resumed their idle chatter.
Xiao Ming learned from Xiao Yi Xian that many people had visited during his closed-door cultivation in the past few days.
"I sent those people away, but they should come knocking again," she said.
Xiao Ming nodded; his expression serious. "I see."
