Chapter 422: Meridian-Breaking Golden Pill!

Two hours later.

After a painstaking refining process, Yan Cangtian slowly opened the furnace lid. Inside lay nine round, golden pills, each releasing a rich medicinal fragrance that was intoxicating.

"With ten sets of materials, we successfully refined nine Meridian-Breaking Golden Pills. Achieving a ninety percent success rate in refining a fifth-tier top-grade ancient medicinal pill is unheard of. If those old monsters at the Alchemist Guild saw this, there would be no need for any assessments!"

Yan Cangtian gazed with satisfaction at the nine pills in the furnace.

Although one set of materials was wasted, a ninety percent success rate was practically miraculous.

If he had been refining alone, he wouldn't have dared to hope for even a sixty percent success rate.

"It's a pity that one was still wasted," Ling Feng said, feeling the loss of the precious materials, especially the Poison Fruit of Ten Thousand Evils.

The other materials were relatively easy to obtain, but every bit of the Poison Fruit of Ten Thousand Evils used meant one less piece, and it was incredibly hard to come by.

"This is already very impressive," Yan Cangtian said as he carefully stored the pills in a jade box and handed them to Ling Feng. He couldn't help but marvel. "In just a few months, your mastery of the Daoist Art of Heavenly Fire has reached this level. It won't be long before your alchemy skills surpass mine."

"You're too kind, Elder Yan," Ling Feng replied, taking the box and inhaling the rich fragrance of the pills, almost salivating.

The Meridian-Breaking Golden Pill, as the name suggests, was designed to open the meridian gates.

One pill could open at least one meridian gate, and if luck was on his side, possibly three to five.

Ling Feng's progress had stalled at thirty-five meridian gates for some time. After using the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit to break through the first heavenly barrier and reaching thirty-five meridian gates, his progress had slowed significantly.

Even with daily consumption of Purple Spirit Liquid and the absorption power of the Human Dao Eye, his progress was as slow as a crawling turtle.

Of course, this was relative to his previous speed. Compared to ordinary people, opening even one meridian gate in several months would be a blessing.

Ling Feng, however, was opening several and sometimes even a dozen meridian gates a month, which was astonishing.

"Your ambition must be to open a hundred meridian gates!"

Yan Cangtian remarked, sizing up Ling Feng. When this kid had joined Tianwei Academy, he only had two or three meridian gates. In just over three months, he has reached thirty-five. Even without any connections, he will likely be promoted to a sky-tier student in the bi-annual assessment.

"This kid's endurance is incredible!"

Yan Cangtian was stunned. Ling Feng could have refined just part of the medicinal strength to open two or three meridian gates and avoid such intense pain. But Ling Feng refused to waste any medicinal strength, repeatedly circulating it within his body to wear down its force.

He knew the first Meridian-Breaking Golden Pill could push him to his maximum potential. Later, his body would develop a resistance to these pills, making it difficult to open multiple meridian gates at once.

So, he fought as if his life depended on it, enduring immense pain to fully utilize the pill's power.

What Yan Cangtian didn't know was that the pain Ling Feng endured when the Tianbai Emperor's spiritual manifestation planted the first Qi-Refining Primordial Lock in him was nearly unbearable.

In comparison, this tendon-tearing pain was minor.

An hour passed!

Two hours passed!

Ling Feng had nearly become a blood-soaked figure, but his eyes grew increasingly bright.

Roar!

Finally, a loud roar erupted from Ling Feng's mouth as his aura began to rise rapidly!

One meridian gate!

Two meridian gates!

Three meridian gates!

...

A total of ten meridian gates burst open almost simultaneously. With the sound of tearing fabric, Ling Feng's bloodstained robe was shredded by the violent energy and fluttered away like butterflies in the wind.

The bloodstains on his body were also swept away by the energy, revealing skin that seemed reborn and glowed with a jade-like luster.

With this first intake of the Meridian-Breaking Golden Pill, Ling Feng had almost completely refined its power. He unprecedentedly opened ten meridian gates in one go, advancing to the level of forty-five meridian gates.
